Not only were the spectators surprised, but Jacob was also quite astonished when he discovered that his Charizard had learned the move Nasty Plot.

He had unexpectedly found Nasty Plot in Charizard’s move pool during a routine training session.

As for how Charizard learned it, he was completely clueless.

Of course, he wasn’t really surprised by this result, because his Charizard was indeed different from other Charizard. It was cunning and clever. For it to learn a Dark-type move like Nasty Plot, while seemingly unusual, was actually quite fitting.

Isn’t it perfectly reasonable for a Pokémon full of clever tactics to learn the move Nasty Plot?

…

The power of the Nasty Plot move goes without saying. It drastically increases Special Attack, which is equivalent to a Special Attack version of Swords Dance.

Special Attackers who can learn Nasty Plot and those who cannot are at two completely different levels.

With Mega Charizard Y’s incredible Special Attack, the output from a single Nasty Plot is simply unimaginable.

Dark-type energy surged forth, quickly enveloping Charizard’s body, significantly boosting Charizard’s Special Attack.

“Dragonite, Stone Edge!”

Watching Charizard use the Nasty Plot move, Julia was surprised, but her battle instincts were extremely sharp, and her reaction was incredibly fast.

Julia immediately chose to abandon having Dragonite use those setup and status moves. While these moves were effective, if Charizard continuously used Nasty Plot and stacked its Special Attack, Dragonite would absolutely not be able to withstand Charizard’s devastating output.

Her team might even get swept.

Therefore, Julia decisively chose to have Dragonite use its strongest Rock-type move.

The small wings behind Dragonite flapped rapidly, and its massive body flew swiftly toward Charizard. At the same time, Rock-type energy gathered in front of it, forming countless small, sharp rocks that shot toward Charizard.

“Charizard, Dragon Pulse!”

Facing Dragonite, Jacob naturally chose to have Charizard unleash the Dragon-type move Dragon Pulse.

“Roar!”

Charizard roared to the sky, its already incredibly strong Special Attack now soaring to a terrifying level due to the effect of Nasty Plot.

Dragon-type energy from its body surged out like a tsunami, and in just an instant, overwhelming Dragon-type energy formed a shockwave that flew toward Dragonite.

“Roar!”

The momentum was overwhelming, with powerful winds everywhere.

Dragon Pulse directly engulfed Stone Edge, blowing away all the rocks flying in the air, and continued flying toward Dragonite.

This is the legendary ‘overwhelming force breaks all techniques.’ When Mega Charizard Y’s Special Attack reaches a certain level, moves like Stone Edge, which originally had quadruple effectiveness against Charizard, couldn’t even get close to Charizard, let alone cause it damage.

“Dodge it, Dragonite.”

Dragonite moved gracefully in the air, dodging Dragon Pulse, its gaze fixed on Charizard.

Jacob’s face showed a confident smile. Status tactics, huh? Let him show you that in the face of absolute devastating output, status tactics are useless.

“Dragonite, charge in with Extreme Speed!” Facing Charizard, who had learned Nasty Plot, Julia also decisively chose to have Dragonite engage in close combat, not giving Charizard any more opportunities to boost itself.

“Charizard, continuous Dragon Pulse.” Watching Dragonite charge in, Jacob naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity and immediately had Charizard unleash Dragon Pulse again.

Although Dragonite had the Multiscale ability, it couldn’t withstand repeated hits.

Dragon-type energy surged forth, but Dragonite’s speed was also extremely fast. In almost an instant, Dragonite forcefully broke through Dragon Pulse, enduring the attack to reach Charizard.

Although this tactic seemed reckless, Dragonite had the incredible ability Multiscale, so the damage it took wasn’t actually severe. Furthermore, Dragonite also had the Roost move to restore HP, so the situation wasn’t critical.

Under the Extreme Speed move, Dragonite’s speed was so fast it was almost imperceptible, truly crashing into Charizard’s body like lightning.

“Dragon Tail, Dragonite!” Julia had Dragonite use Extreme Speed just to get it into close combat.

Her true purpose was to have Dragonite use the Dragon Tail move, forcibly switching Charizard out.

Jacob also saw through Julia’s tactic, but he had no choice. The only thing he could do was have Charizard use as many moves as possible to reduce Dragonite’s HP before being switched out.

“Dragon Pulse, Charizard!”

Charizard unleashed Dragon Pulse again, and the massive Dragon Pulse completely engulfed Dragonite. Dragonite, however, still chose to endure the damage, suddenly spinning its body. Dragon-type energy covered its long tail, and Dragon Tail swept out, striking Charizard’s body.

Charizard, hit by Dragon Tail, turned into red light and bounced back into its Poké Ball. Immediately after, another Poké Ball instantly opened, and Sceptile entered the battle.

“Sceptile, Mega Evolution, Dragon Pulse!”

“Dragonite, use Dragon Claw.”

Both sides gave their commands almost simultaneously. Hearing Jacob’s command, Sceptile’s body shimmered with white light.

In an instant, it completed its Mega Evolution, and at the same time, Dragon-type energy gathered in its mouth, flying toward Dragonite.

Facing Sceptile’s fierce attack, Dragonite displayed an extremely high level of battle skill, its flexible body moving gracefully in the air, dodging Sceptile’s attacks while closing in on Sceptile. Dragon-type energy enveloped its claws, and it fiercely struck at Sceptile.

The main reason Julia had Dragonite use Dragon Claw was that through the previous battles, everyone had deduced that Sceptile’s type changed from Grass to Grass/Dragon after Mega Evolution, adding the Dragon-type weakness.

“Sceptile, we’ll use Dragon Claw too!”

Seeing that Dragon Pulse couldn’t hit Dragonite, Jacob also ordered Sceptile to engage Dragonite in close combat directly.

“Bang!”

Dragon Claws collided, emitting a sharp sound. Sceptile wielded its Dragon Claws, clashing with Dragonite.

Mega Evolved Sceptile was still slightly inferior to Dragonite in terms of physical attack. At first, it was hard to tell who was superior, but after a few exchanges, Sceptile’s disadvantage became apparent.

“Sceptile, use Dragon Pulse!” Jacob’s voice rang out again. Sceptile, who was engaging Dragonite, didn’t stop its attacks. While wielding its Dragon Claws, its body also began to gather energy.

“Boom!” A close-range Dragon Pulse was unleashed.

“Dragonite, create distance and use Roost!” Facing Sceptile’s dual attack of Dragon Claw and Dragon Pulse, Julia decisively chose to temporarily retreat.

Moreover, Dragonite had already sustained considerable damage, and it was time to restore its HP.

Dragonite’s wings flapped powerfully, and in the blink of an eye, it created distance from Sceptile, moving incredibly fast.

In the anime Pokédex, it’s stated that Dragonite can circle the Earth in sixteen hours, but in reality, Dragonite’s speed stat is quite low, only eighty.

This also made people joke about it, saying, “With this speed, you still call it Dragonite? That’s funny.”

However, in reality, Dragonite’s speed was indeed fast. At least, Jacob noticed that Sceptile’s Dragon Pulse almost never hit Dragonite.

After creating distance, Dragonite folded its wings and landed on the ground, its body enveloped in Flying-type energy, healing its injuries. This also made Jacob frown.

Dragonite with Roost was truly incredibly difficult to take down.

Just Dragonite alone was hard for Jacob to break through, not to mention there were two more Pokémon behind it.
