“Your Vulpix did well, but earning the badge won’t be that easy.” Gardenia smiled slightly as she tossed her sed Poké Ball.
“Go, Turtwig!”
“Twig!”
A spirited Turteared otlefield, its gazed was calm as it faced Vulpix.
“Turtwig, use Magical Leaf!”
This time, Gardenia acted first.
“Twig!”
Golden glowing leaves materialized around Turtwig, spinning in a mesmerizing pattern before shooting toward Vulpix.
“Fmethrower!”
The sunher amplified the power of Vulpix’s Fmethrower, easily iing the Magical Leaf attad tinuing toward Turtwig.
Turtwig stood still, its i demeanor almost childlike as the fmes approached.
“Dodge!”
At Gardenia’s and, Turtwig vanished from its position in an instant, reappearing safely out of Fmethrower’s ra looked back at Vulpix with curious eyes.
“That speed… incredible!”
Paul immediately reized this Turtwig—it was the same ohat had battled Ash’s Turtwig in the anime, as well as the ohat faced Lucas earlier.
This Turtwig’s speed was extraordinary, surpassing even the Chlorophyll-boosted Tangrowth from earlier.
If it focused on hit-and-run tactics without direct frontation, few Pokémon of the same level could match it.
Lucas' victory earlier over Turtwig had relied on Magmar's wide-range Smokes.
“Extrasensory!”
At Paul’s and, Vulpix’s eyes glowed blue, attempting to seize trol of Turtwig.
“Pointless—dodge, then Tackle!” Gardenia said fidently.
Before the Extrasensory could take effect, Turtwig disappeared again, charging at Vulpix with lightning speed.
“Quick Attack!”
Although Vulpix hadn’t yet learned Sor Beam, it had mastered Quick Attack from training with Elekid.
Usirasensory to enhas movement, Vulpix swiftly dodged Turtwig’s Tackle, avoiding the attatirely.
However…
“Leech Seed!”
Turtwig bowed its head slightly, ung a seed from its sprout. The seed nded on Vulpix, sprouting vihat ed tightly around it.
The vines drained Vulpix’s energy aricted its movements.
“Burn it off!”
At Paul’s and, Vulpix unleashed fmes on itself, burning away the Leech Seed.
But before it could recover, Turtwig struck with a powerful Tackle, sending Vulpix flying into a tree, causing additional damage.
“Razor Leaf!”
Following up, Turtwig swung its head, ung sharp leaves toward Vulpix.
“Vul!”
The leaves hit their mark, and Vulpix colpsed. Turtwig had cimed another victory.
“Vulpix is uo battle. Turtwig wins!” the referee announced.
“Not enough stamina or strength. More training is needed.”
Paul returned Vulpix to its Poké Ball, speaking softly to it before tossing out another.
“Ursaring, prepare for battle.”
“Ur-saaa!”
Ursaring’s massive form nded otlefield with a deafening roar.
“Tur…”
Even Turtwig, normally posed, instinctively took a step back at the sight of su intimidating oppo.
“That’s one huge Ursaring…”
Gardenia, the referee, and even Lucas iands were taken aback.
“Fire Punch.”
Paul wasted no time, anding Ursaring to attack.
“Ur-saaa!”
Ursaring charged forward, fmes igniting around its fist as it prepared to strike.
“Razor Leaf!”
Gardenia tried to stop Ursaring’s advance.
Turtwig quickly unched sharp leaves, but Ursaring plowed through them with fiery punches, redug the leaves to ashes.
In a fsh, Ursaring on Turtwig its massive fming fist desding.
“Dodge!”
Turtwig narrowly avoided the attack, dispying its incredible agility once again.
“Boom!”
The Fire Punch struck the ground, leaving a sm crater.
“Aura Sphere!”
Ursaring swiftly gathered energy in its paws, log ont’s position before hurling the sphere.
“Dodge!”
Turtwig reacted quickly, but the Aura Sphere exploded nearby, sending it flying.
“Fire Punch!”
Paul seized the opportunity, anding Ursaring to finish the battle.
Hearing its trainer’s call, Turtwig summos remaining strength.
“Leaf Storm!”
Surrounded by swirling leaves, Turtwig unleashed a powerful storm toward Ursaring.
“Break through it!”
Fueled by Paul’s determination, Ursaring’s fmes intensified, engulfing its entire body as it charged through the Leaf Storm.
Emerging unscathed, Ursaring nded a devastating Fire Pun Turtwig.
The attack was super effective.
“Boom!”
Turtwig was unched like a onball, crashing through oree before stopping against another. Its charred body y motionless, fainted.
“Turtwig is uo battle. Ursaring wins!” the referee decred.
“Return, Turtwig. You did well.” Gardenia said, recalling her Pokémon.
Iands, Lucas and Barry were stunned.
“Why is Ursaring’s Fire Punch so powerful? It felt like it rivaled my Magmar’s full-force attack." Lucas remarked in shock.
“This is unfair… How did it get s so quickly?” Barry muttered, frustrated.
Paul, meanwhile, observed his Ursaring with satisfa, knowing it was oep closer to mastering its fiery potential.
