"Hmph~ Bella, I'll give you a good lesson today!"
"This time, I've thoroughly studied Trapinch's moves!"
Chloe gracefully brushed her bangs aside, her pretty face full of confidence and calmness.
Well, she had a bit of that regal demeanor.
Alex nodded, this confident attitude looked quite fitting.
"Squirtle, use Water Gun!"
Bella didn't give Chloe a pitiful look at all, but let Squirtle attack first.
"Squirtle!"
Squirtle's cheeks puffed out, and a fast, accurate Water Gun fired at Trapinch.
"Darn it! Another sneak attack!"
Chloe, who still wanted to say something, was caught off guard.
"Trapinch, counter with Mud Shot!"
Trapinch opened its mouth wide, and mud bombs were launched to meet the Water Gun.
The Mud Shot and Water Gun collided directly in mid-air, and after a brief stalemate, they exploded.
The faint smoke dissipated.
"Is this a Pokémon move?" Jack's eyes twinkled, watching the two Pokémon.
Is this what a Pokémon battle looks like?
"The long-range attack really doesn't work."
Although her heart was pounding from commanding a Pokémon for the first time, Bella's mind remained extremely calm.
"Squirtle, use the smoke as cover and get closer." Bella quickly devised a plan.
Squirtle murmured twice, and its two short legs moved closer to where Trapinch was situated.
Currently, the smoke and dust had not completely dissipated, which could be used as a cover.
But strangely, Chloe didn't give any orders to Trapinch at the moment.
Until...
"I see!" Chloe's eyes were fixed on the smoke, and sure enough, a blurred figure began to appear more clearly.
Chloe's mouth slowly curved into a confident smile.
"Too naive! Too naive, my dear Bella!"
"Trapinch, use Astonish!"
Chloe grinned, showing some of her neat and beautiful teeth.
Bella frowned.
And as Chloe's words fell, a shrill screeching sound erupted without warning.
Even Jack and Ryan, who were watching the battle, were taken aback, not to mention Bella, who was already engrossed.
What on earth was that?
Even the spectators were startled, and Squirtle was naturally no exception. The sudden Astonish caused Squirtle, who was running, to trip and faceplant.
"Squirtle! Be careful!"
Bella was startled and hurriedly shouted to Squirtle, as Trapinch was already crawling close to Squirtle on all fours, moving very fast!
But it was too late!
Trapinch, its head surrounded by a dim light, slammed into Squirtle's bald head, making Squirtle cry out in pain.
Ghost-type Astonish!
Because of its Ability, Astonish's power was increased by 30%, which dealt significant damage to Squirtle, despite its normally low damage.
"Don't let it go! Trapinch, follow up with Mud Shot!" Chloe commanded.
"Squirtle! Quickly retract into your shell!"
Bella was a little anxious and hurriedly shouted to Squirtle.
Shhh~
Mud bullets shot out from Trapinch's mouth, but only two hit before Squirtle, enduring the pain, retracted its head and limbs into its shell.
The Mud Shots all hit Squirtle's shell, but apparently, hitting the shell alone was useless!
"Is that okay?"
Chloe, who had been confident of victory, widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Beautiful!"
Ryan, who was watching the battle, lit up. This reaction was incredible. Originally, if Squirtle had been hit by this Mud Shot, it would have been at an absolute disadvantage.
"Indeed, Miss Bella is very quick-witted. This is her first time commanding Pokémon in battle, but she is very adaptable."
"Miss Chloe too. Compared to yesterday, her battle strategy is much clearer today, and today's battle is finally a bit more watchable."
Alex wasn't stingy with his compliments, and at the same time glanced at Chloe in surprise.
There is no doubt that the battle between these two college students today is much better than the beginner-level pecking match from yesterday.
"It does get stronger, but if it were my Vulpix, I'd definitely still win!"
Ryan nodded in agreement, but after pushing his glasses, he added.
But the next moment, the changes on the field made the three spectators stunned.
The Mud Shot continued to hit Squirtle's shell, and after the last bang, the entire shell flew out.
But the most important thing was this!
Squirtle's shell fell to the ground on its back!
"Ah! Squirtle? Squirtle!!"
Falling to the ground, Squirtle's body emerged from the turtle's shell and spat out two mouthfuls of mud, which was one of the few shots that had just shot into its shell.
But the next moment, Squirtle realized that something was wrong, and turned its head left and right in panic.
The short limbs constantly waved and tried to turn over, but it couldn't!
This scene was hilarious and amusing, but for someone, it was bad enough!
"Ah, this..."
Bella was completely flustered!
Chloe was also shocked, but the next moment, a big smile slowly appeared on her pretty face.
"Hahaha~ Bella, the universe is on my side!"
"Trapinch, bury that opponent with Sand Attack!"
Chloe laughed wildly and shouted to Trapinch.
Mud Shot and Astonish could not be used, otherwise the force would easily turn Squirtle over again, but Sand Attack could be used!
"Yee~"
Trapinch let out a low whimper, turned its back legs, and kept digging into the dirt field, sending mud and dust flying toward Squirtle.
"Squirtle, turn it over!"
Bella was at a loss, she never thought that the little turtle would mess up at this time.
"Squirtle Squirtle..."
Squirtle was also trying hard, but continued "dancing" in its efforts with tears in its eyes.
It simply couldn't do it!
Time passed little by little as Trapinch continued its relentless Sand Attack, and soon, the dust had completely buried most of Squirtle's body, leaving it with no room to fight back.
"It's so dirty! How can you be so shameless!"
Bella's pretty face was turning red with anger, feeling so aggrieved!
"It's called strategy, Bella. After all, your opponent is me~ This result was inevitable from the beginning."
"I'm so unstoppable that the universe wasn't born with a Trainer's path like mine~"
Chloe didn't care and flicked her bangs in a dashing manner, raising her chin proudly.
The feeling of winning against her opponent was exhilarating!
Ryan: "..."
Jack: "..."
Alex: "(o—o)"
Bella's face turned even redder, purely out of anger!
Chloe's confidence was through the roof! How can you act so brazenly?
