"Axel, step on the gas!"
"Axel, you must win!"
"Axel, you're invincible!"
The moment the referee's voice fell, the entire playground suddenly erupted in chants of Axel's name.
Although Mela and the others had performed quite well at Ninox University during this time and had made many friends, but this was, after all, Ninox University. If the first place was taken by someone else, it would still be quite embarrassing.
Mela looked at Axel apologetically and bowed deeply, "I'm sorry. Although I know I shouldn't beat you at this time, I have reasons that I must win."
"Last time after we came, we lost to Ricky and delayed for a long time..."
"This time I must go all out."
"After I go back to Orange University to study for a while, I will definitely come back and lose to your school's student."
"A native of Paldea?"
"Ah?", Mela blinked, not knowing why Axel suddenly asked this kind of question.
About to enter a decisive battle, Mela felt like she was going to die from nervousness, but Axel still looked completely unfazed.
"Nothing, but I won't hold back either," Axel smiled, not explaining too much.
He just felt that the way Mela spoke was somewhat similar to the heroine "Riko" from Made in Abyss, so he asked.
He also knew a little about what happened over at Orange University, because of how long the school had been established, a force that liked to bully others had emerged in the school.
And Mela was one of the representatives resisting that bullying.
"Make your move. Don't carry any psychological burden."
"If you hesitate even in battle, how can you protect those you want to protect?"
"Okay, thank you," Mela took a deep breath, her leather skirt slightly lifted as she pulled out a Poké Ball strapped to her thigh.
"I watched your battle today. You really like spikes and poison, and you're also good at fast attacks, right?"
"So... I can only use my trump card Pokémon right from the start, sorry."
Mela bowed to Axel again, "Please step back a little, so you don't get hurt accidentally."
"Revavroom, come out!"
Along with a flash of white light, a huge alien-like Pokémon appeared on the field.
This Pokémon resembled a truck head, but the whole thing had a cyberpunk style, with colors so flashy it was overwhelming.
Its head was composed of Revavroom, with dazzling lights and speakers on both sides, and flames constantly spewing from its tail end.
Team Star's car.
Mela leapt and landed on the Team Star car, and her entire temperament underwent an earth-shattering transformation.
If the Mela from just now was still a good and obedient girl, the current Mela was definitely a wildly extreme girl.
"Axel, let's battle!"
"Whether it's your Toxic Spikes or Stealth Rock, my Team Star car can tear them apart easily."
"Mela, right?", Axel smiled as he took out Pheromosa's Poké Ball and tossed it twice in his hand.
"Although I really want to tell you that Steel-type doesn't necessarily make you immune to poison... But since your intention is good, let me teach you how to battle."
"Duraludon, this one's yours."
"Rooaarr!"
Duraludon landed with a roar, looking excitedly at the Team Star car in front of him.
He had been training for such a long time, yet hadn't had many chances to fight.
As a result, Gyarados and Dragonair didn't quite respect him, and didn't see him as the general among the dragon types.
Now he could finally show off.
"Do your best."
Axel instinctively wanted to pat Duraludon's head, only to realize that the general had unknowingly grown to 2.5 meters tall.
"Alright, go."
"Use Clangorous Soul!"
Axel directly chose to start with a buff. This move was different from Dragon Dance, and was a buff move that was easy to use.
The moment he finished speaking, drum-like sounds echoed from within Duraludon's body.
The sound was vast and ancient.
Just hearing it made one feel like they were in the middle of an ancient, mysterious ritual.
All the Pokémon on the field instantly focused, and some Dragon-type Pokémon couldn't help but roar in response to Duraludon's drum sounds from the platform.
Emmm... they were mostly Pokémon like apples and bats.
But this didn't lessen the shock among the teachers at all.
"This Duraludon has been trained too well. Just one Clangorous Soul affects all the Pokémon on the field, this could rival some overlord Pokémon that just descended from secret realms."
"Gyarados, Duraludon, and add Dragonair... looks like our school is about to produce a formidable Dragon-type master."
Norton nodded, looking at Duraludon as if he were gazing at a rare treasure.
"But this timing for using the move is a bit too overconfident. Starting with a buff... could easily lead to getting caught in a sweep."
"More importantly, Dragon-types don't have an advantage against Steel-types."
"I wonder how Mela will respond. Her Revavroom clearly isn't ordinary either. Can she seize this opportunity?"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Mela finally responded.
"Use Burning Charge!"
The moment her voice fell, Team Star's car responded instantly.
Flames erupted from the back of the truck, all four wheels spinning simultaneously, charging with violent Fire-type energy toward Duraludon.
BOOM!
With a loud bang, the two Pokémon crashed fiercely into each other.
Duraludon planted his two sturdy hind legs firmly on the ground, stretched out his arms, and forcefully held off the hood of the Team Star car.
The massive impact forced him to take several steps back, creating a series of friction sounds against the steel ground.
"A Duraludon with the Light Metal ability?", Mela crossed her arms and looked down at Axel.
"He won't be able to stop my Team Star car," Just as she finished speaking, a giant top-down light circle flashed over the Team Star car, and the speed of its tires visibly increased.
"Use Burning Charge again, knock that dragon off the stage."
Revavroom on the Team Star car nodded hard, its eyes full of resolve.
'Another Burning Charge?'
Axel grinned. This was exactly what he wanted Mela to understand.
Right now, the Team Star car's offensive tactics were still too simple. Moreover, the moves made too much noise, almost completely abandoning defense.
If it ran into large-scale killing moves, it would easily fall into a passive position.
But Axel understood. People could teach others for a lifetime without them learning, but if pain teaches someone once, it's enough.
As long as the Team Star car was violently destroyed, the other side would naturally start finding solutions.
"Duraludon, use Meteor Shower move!"
