To be the Very Best (Pokémon X Male Reader)

Scarlet Arc Chapter 11 - The Ultimate Paradox

Professor Turo and AI Sada have initiated a battle.

Professor Turo sends out Iron Treads.

AI Sada sends out Great Tusk.

Gripping my Pokeballs tightly, I took a deep breath. "One more fight. Tinkaton, Goodra, you've got this!"

Both Pokemon bust into battle, ready for this.

"Tinakton, use Giganton Hammer on Iron Tusk; Goodra, use Dragon Pulse."

Both Pokemon attacked, doing respectful damage but clearly not enough.

"Your Pokemon, it won't be enough against the power of the future. So give in and accept reality." Turo barked, readying his command. "Iron Treads, use earthquake."

Flinching, I called out just in time with any counter I could think of. "Tinkaton, quickly use protect. Then, Goodra, defend best you can with shelter!"

While Tinkaton managed to repel the attack with no issue, Goodra took a critical hit only saved by his raised defences.

Super effective.

"Tinakton, use sword dance; we need to even the odds," I shout, taking out my Pokeball. "Goodra return."

"Go, Iron Valiant!"

AI Sada held her arm out, talking down to me. "D₀ you imɑgine you cɑn best thə wealth ₀f dɑta at my dısposɑl with your huⅿan braın?"

AI Sada recalled Great Tusk sending in her next Paradox Pokemon. The same one that she used to defeat the one attacking the school. Flutter Mane.

Flutter Mane used Shadow Ball on Iron Valiant.

It had no effect.

AI Sada recalled malfunction. "Whɑt?! Some sort of ərror has occurred here... Recɑ|culatıng for an unknown cause."

Professor Turo took charge as Tinkaton used another sword dance. "Ignore that Paradox Pokemon; Iron Treads defeat Tinkaton now!"

"Not so fast! Quickly Iron Valiant, let's show them how we do it in Hisui, strong stance Bitter Maliace!"

Iron Valiant charged up, unleashing a rippling ghost attack freezing Great Tusk in its track.

"Impossible! What is this Paradox Pokemon?"

"Tinkaton, don't hold anything back; use Gigaton hammer on Flutter Mane!"

Tinkaton unleashed a brutal attack knocking out Flutter Mane in one strike.

Super effective.

Both professors were left completely baffled by this sudden turn of events. "N0w, thıs is ıntere5ting... Chi|d, d₀ you aɔtually understɑnd ancıent Pokéⅿon's weaknəsses?"

 Turo glanced down at me, recalling Iron Treads, while AI Sada recalled her Pokemon. "I see. Clever trick, child."

Professor Turo sent in Iron Jugulis. AI Sada sent back in Great Tusk.

"Iron Jugulis, use dark pulse on Iron Valiant."

Iron Valiant was repelled back; the curtain tossed away at it morphed into Zorua.

Super Effective.

"Mimi! Are you alright, girl!?"

Zorua looked at me with a reinsuring bark. Smiling, I nodded, keeping my cool. "You're right; we can't back down yet."

"Your Hisuian Pokemon are remarkable, but they don't hold a candle to our own Paradox Pokemon." Turo taunted.

"We'll see about that; Tinkaton use Giga impact on Mimi!"
