Chapter 230 Defeating Athena
A vast amount of electricity permeates the Goldenrod Gym.
Even though the fossil pterosaur charged left and right with its crimson fur, it still had a hard time dodging.
Red looked down and saw Green also fleeing in a sorry state on the back of Arcanine.
However, Athena remained calm and unmoved in the face of Zapdos' terrifying 100,000 volts, seemingly unafraid of being struck by lightning.
Logically speaking, although most Pokémon do not turn on their trainers after being captured, even trainers cannot avoid being injured by such a powerful Thunderbolt attack that is spread throughout the entire area.
Why can Athena move freely through the rain of electricity as if it were nothing?
Crimson, protected by the pterosaur, pondered the difference between himself and Athena.
"and many more."
Crimson suddenly noticed that Athena was wearing a glove on her hand as she waved her fan.
He initially thought it was just that Athena liked to dress up.
But upon closer inspection, the gloves were not of good quality; they were clearly just rubber gloves.
"Rubber gloves?"
Crimson suddenly realized what was happening.
Could it be that Athena was already wearing non-conductive clothing?
Is it because of these clothes that she can let Zapdos use its ultimate move without restraint?
After making up his mind, Crimson looked at Green and, sure enough, found that Green was also looking at him.
Qinglv also noticed this.
Realizing this, Crimson immediately understood how to deal with Athena:
"Snorlax, Belly Drum! Then Body Slam!"
"Click~"
The seemingly harmless Snorlax stepped forward, endured the electric shock from Zapdos to complete its Mega Boost, and then charged sharply at Athena.
Athena, who had been looking relaxed, dared not let Snorlax, who had completed "Belly Drum," get close.
"Articuno, Brave Bird Attack!"
With neither Pokémon to her name, Athena ruthlessly commanded Articuno to use self-destructive moves.
After Articuno knocked Snorlax away, it saw Green riding on Arcanine at top speed, showing no sign of backing down despite being shocked by electricity and in great pain.
"Arcanine, use Flame Blitz!"
"Roar!"
Seeing the menacing Arcanine, Athena finally showed a hint of panic.
But she quickly calmed down:
"Hmph, so you can't beat my two big birds, so you're preparing to reveal your true colors and fight me hand-to-hand?
She casually tossed out a Poké Ball:
"Muk, block Arcanine!"
She doesn't care whether Muk can survive Arcanine's fierce attack.
If they can survive this period, Zapdos's "Thunderbolt" will wipe them all out.
As long as we can get through this period!
"Bulbasaur, use 'Rapid Leaf'!"
Just then, Athena felt a sharp pain all over her body as blade-like leaves brushed past her.
Athena glared angrily and discovered that a Bulbasaur was launching a sneak attack on her from beneath her crimson feet.
She's injured!
An enraged Athena was not about to let Bulbasaur, who had injured her, get away with it, and thus commanded Zapdos:
"Electricate it! Zapdos, electrocute it!"
"Wow!"
Upon receiving the command, Zapdos immediately turned its gun around and concentrated all its power on Bulbasaur.
"Ba na..."
Although Bulbasaur was Red's Pokémon obtained from Professor Oak, and was his second Pokémon after Poliwag, it followed him through countless battles and possessed great strength.
However, even under Zapdos's powerful electric shock, Bulbasaur's leaves were still charred and cracked.
Seeing Bulbasaur's miserable state, Athena stood with her hands on her hips, feeling smug:
"Hmph, see? This is what happens when you go against me."
Athena looked at the chaotic scene inside the dojo and felt somewhat bored.
She was an elegant lady, yet she appeared so disheveled under the pressure of two brats, which greatly displeased Athena.
"Articuno, finish them off in one go! Use..."
"is it?"
But at this moment, Crimson's expression was very calm, even with a hint of a smile:
"Pikachu, now's your chance! Use Thunderbolt!"
"Click!"
Athena turned around abruptly, only to find that Pikachu, which had been on Crimson Shoulder, had quietly appeared behind her.
And its whole body was bulging, clearly indicating that it was ready to pounce.
However, Athena, who was initially flustered by the sneak attack, immediately relaxed when she saw that the attacker was Pikachu:
"What? I thought it was something amazing, but it's just an electric mouse."
Seeing the electricity Pikachu unleashed, Athena disdainfully covered her mouth with her fan again.
"My body is made of insulating rubber; even Zapdos's 'Thunderbolt' can't hurt me in the slightest. A mere Pikachu..."
Amidst the mockery, Athena suddenly discovered that her fan had been cut in half without her noticing.
"This is......"
To her surprise, Athena glanced around and was shocked to find that the insulating rubber on her body had been cut open in many places, and she was no longer fully armed as before.
"When was my insulating rubber installed...?"
Crimson smiled slightly in the distance:
"You don't actually think my Bulbasaur's 'Rapid Leaf' didn't leave any marks on you, do you?"
"what?!"
Athena then realized that Bulbasaur's "Rapid Leaf" attack wasn't meant to defeat her, but simply to cut marks on her insulating rubber.
Even the Snorlax and the blue Arcanine at the beginning were just to draw attention to Bulbasaur's "Razor Leaf".
Everything they did was so that Athena's body could directly come into contact with Pikachu's "Thunderbolt"!
However, Athena, having realized everything, no longer had the chance to come to her senses.
"Click!"
A current, traveling at the speed of light, enveloped Athena, bypassing her insulating rubber and penetrating her body directly.
"Ahhhh!"
Her bulky, obese body was not strong enough to withstand the powerful electric current.
Therefore, after letting out a painful scream, Athena released the fan she had always treasured, collapsed weakly to the ground, and lost consciousness.
Without Athena's command, Zapdos and Articuno, who had been so aggressive, also stopped moving.
After all, although they were captured by Team Rocket and obeyed Athena's orders to attack, they ultimately didn't have any deep feelings for each other.
With Athena gone, they lost all will to fight.
"Phew, it's finally over!"
After Athena was knocked down by Pikachu, Crimson collapsed weakly to the ground.
Winning this battle against Zapdos and Articuno will be no easy feat.
but.
Red glanced at Green, who was also slumped down next to Arcanine, panting and looking at him, and grinned:
"Hehe, we won."
"Hmph, I, the great one, have won."
