Chapter 674: The Battle Starts
As all these thoughts were coming to their mind, Salamence led them to the entrance of the stadium and led them inside.
"You humans would have to wait for some time. The leader wants all of us to see this battle. It is very rare that we use the stadium, so almost all of us would be coming.", said Salamence.
"How much time do you have to wait?"
"As much as I want. I will call you when we are ready.", said Salamence and went on its o\\wn way.
After it went on its own way, they were all on their own.
"Axel, it looks like your plan worked a little too well. What are we going to do now?", asked Jin. He was clearly very worried.
"Don\'t worry, instead of one vs one it would be two vs two. I think that I can handle it. I can use Togetic or Marcus if I need it.", said Axel.
"Oh crap!!", shouted Frank.
"What happened?"
"We forgot to determine the terms of the battle. If Axel uses Shelgon and a king rank Salamence appears to fight, then what would we do?", asked Frank.
This time Ron stepped in and said, "Don\'t worry, such a thing would never happen. Salamence are proud beings and their pride would not let them choose a higher rank Pokemon. It was better that we didn\'t ask such a stupid question otherwise Salamence might have gotten angry."
"Ok, so we are sure that they would not use higher rank Pokemon. What about the other Pokemon? Would there be any problem?", asked Ram.
"I don\'t think there would be any problem.", said Axel looking at Ron for confirmation.
However, Ron didn\'t speak.
"Ron, I don\'t think there would be any problem, right? Right?"
"No, there would not be any problem in 9 out of 10 days.", said Ron.
"What happens on the 10th day?", asked Kizaru.
"Problem."
"For Arceus shake, Why didn\'t you tell us that in the beginning when that Salamence was taking us inside?", shouted Jin.
"Jin, we were already on the turf of Salamence. There was nothing that we could do. The moment we went near that place, our fate was already sealed.", said Ron.
"Ron, tell me what would be the problem first?", asked Axel.
"Well, Salamence cares about respect and hard work. I have already told you that. They would also be fair during the battle and would not use any higher-tier Pokemons for the fight. But that would only be effective if we were to use any dragon-type Pokemons to fight.
You only have 1 dragon-type Pokemon and that is Shelgon. If you were to use another Pokemon for the fight, the tribe may call out higher ranking Pokemon."
"But you said that it would only happen 1/10 times."
"Yes because normally they would not do that as their pride would not let them but if we were to make them angry in some way, then they may call out higher rank Pokemon for the fight.
I am not worried about the first fight, I am worried about the second and third fight."
"Ok, then I have another solution for that.", said Axel with a smile.
###
The stadium was not like other normal stadiums. The seating arrangements were very different than that of humans. It was made in such a way that even Salamence could properly sit in there.
"My family and my friends. It has been a long time since we have opened the stadium. So, what is the reason for opening it? Well, it is something special. We have a group of humans with us today.", said the announcer who was also a Salamence.
Salamence, Bagon, and Shelgon started to growl to show their displeasure. For some reason, they didn\'t like humans. In fact, Axel could tell that they hated humans.
"Now, now, we cannot just judge them based on their race. Maybe they are good humans. One of the humans, which the leader wants to talk to has also come here with them and that human had said that his Pokemons could beat our tribe members in a battle."
ROOOARR
ROOOARRR
The roars started to get louder. Axel could tell that they were angry and roaring. Of course, these dragon-type Pokemons didn\'t believe that a human-trained Pokemon could beat them.
"The leader was also interested in their proposal, so we let them in. Now, that human would be using 2 of his Pokemons and any of our members of the same rank and tier could raise their hand to beat the crap out of it. Let\'s show these humans the power and pride of our race!!!"
ROOOOARR
ROOOARRR
ROOOARRRR
Axel must say that even though that Salamence was speaking crap about them, it was well-versed in riling up the crowd.
"Let\'s not waste any time and let me call out that daring human, Axel Blaze!!", shouted the announcer.
The crowd started to get nuts. Some of them were cursing Axel while some of them were curious.
Axel came out to the stage. The stage was very big. It was difficult for Axel to see the end of it. It was that big. It was understandable as Salamence was pretty big and they would not want to make a small stadium.
One of the Salamence came and told Axel to call out his Pokemon.
"Come out, Togetic", shouted Axel as threw the ball.
Togetic came out without any roars and then started to fly around to get ready for battle. He had specifically chosen Togetic as Salamence was weak to dragon-type moves.
He was taking this battle very seriously. Axel knew that the battle against the Salamence tribe would not be easy. It was going to be very hard. He could also have chosen Slowemperor as Salamence was 4 times weak to ice but Slowemperor was a tier 3 king-rank Pokemon and the power of tier 3 king-rank Salamence would be very high.
Togetic was only a rare rank Pokemon. Axel believed that it could handle this battle. He had already talked to Togetic before telling it to be serious in this battle as their life was on the line.
"So, who wants to battle this fairy-type Pokemon?", asked the announcer and multiple Salamence roared to say that they could do the job.
After seeing so many hands raised, the announcer randomly chose 1 Salamence who was also a rare rank Pokemon.
It was happy that it was selected and it came flying towards the battle area of the stadium.
Axel didn\'t want to take any chances as he inspected the Salamence.

This was an interesting Pokemon. It was not overly strong but it had a fair amount of mastery over its ability and hidden ability. It also had a lot of coverage in moves and it had also learned a new move. Axel looked at the move description to see its effects:
---
Inhale: The user would inhale a large amount of dragon-type energy and store it in their white ridges and then it would use all of its stored energy with a powerful beam. Cool down period is 3 hours.
---
Axel knew that the move was strong cause any move that had a cool-down period was bound to be strong. Yet he was still confident that Togetic was going to win this battle.
Both of them were ready for battle.
"Start"
Salamence immediately opened its mouth and then used \'Flamethrower\'. Togetic was ready for it and then flew in the air. While flying it was able to use \'Nasty Plot\'.
"Now, use \'Thunder wave\'", said Axel.
Togetic used the move but Salamence was able to dodge the attack and then it came flying towards Togetic to use \'Aerial ace\'. It flew high in the air and then came down to strike Togetic.
Togetic could not fight against it in the sky. Togetic flying powers were much lower than Salamence who had always worked hard and dreamed of flying in the sky. The battle was not going to be easy as Togetic only had to rely on special attacks.
Axel could say that this Salamence focused on physical moves and its body was way stronger than Togetic.
"Use \'Ancient power\' and then use \'Extrasensory\'", said Axel.
Togetic used \'Ancient power\'. It glowed in brown color and that glow attacked Salamence. Salamence took the hit but it was still coming towards Togetic.
Luckily Togetic was able to raise all of its stats. Axel knew that this was possible due to its ability. Togetic then used \'Extrasensory\'.
Salamence felt that something was taking hold of its body as it crashed to the ground.
Togetic then used \'Thunder wave\' and this time the move hit and Salamence was paralyzed.
Paralyzed didn\'t mean that it would be unable to move. Its speed would be slower and it might flinch sometimes. But this situation put Togetic in an advantage position.
"Now, use \'Fairy wind\' and then use \'Sunny day\'", said Axel with a smile. The battle was not over but they were in a much better situation.
A huge wind of fairy power came and enveloped Salamence. The wind was sharp and this did hit Salamence.
\'Fairy wind\' was not very powerful but it was a fairy-type move. While fighting, Axel came to realize that Togetic lacked fairy-type moves. There were not many fairy-type moves to begin with and if Togetic wanted to learn other fairy-type moves then it would have to create itself.
Taking the advantage of little time that it had, Togetic used \'Sunny day\' and used \'Nasty plot\' again. Till now, it would only use \'Nasty plot\' 2 times but this move had increased the special attack power to a very high level.
Salamence felt that it was being humiliated. It knew that it was losing this battle and all of its friends and family were seeing this battle. It wanted to show this Pokemon what it was made of.
So, it gave a huge roar.
ROOOARRRR
It then started to do a weird dance. This was \'Sword dance\' but Axel could tell that this dance was different. Axel had many Pokemons who had \'Swords dance\' but this dance didn\'t resemble it. He could see some similarities to \'Dragon dance\' too.
A while and blue glow started to envelop Salamence. Was this the combination of \'Swords dance\' and \'Dragon dance\'?
"Togetic, use \'Flamethrower\'", said Axel.
Togetic with the help of \'Sunny day\' and \'Nasty plot\' fired up a powerful \'Flamethrower\' towards Salamence. One would expect that Salamence would dodge the attack. It must be remembered that Salamence was fast but it didn\'t. It took the attack head-on.
ROOOOARRR
BANG!!!!
ROOOARRR
It gave a huge roar and charged towards Togetic. The speed of this attack was very high.
Axel didn\'t even have to say it and Togetic used the move \'Egg defense\' and covered itself with fairy-type energy and formed an egg.
BANG!!!!
The egg cracked and Salamence was able to hit Togetic and Togetic flew and crashed to the ground.
As Togetic was trying to get up from the attack, it realized that Salamence was charging for the second \'Outrage\'.
