The battle at the Cinnabar Gym was in full swing. Blaine's Arcanine and Gary's Golduck had been locked in fierce combat for nearly fifteen minutes.
"Arcanine, use Fire Spin on yourself!" Blaine swept his hand out and started playing dirty.
"Tch, that troublesome Flash Fire ability." Gary gritted his teeth inwardly. This old man really was strong, and his tactical thinking was remarkably sharp.

Boom! An overwhelming wave surged up from the ground. Golduck rode it toward Arcanine.
"Arcanine, use Wild Charge!" Blaine staked everything on
