Scizor V/s Aggron

This fight wasn't very fast but was decided to Scizor with the moves [Swords Dance] and [Brick Break].

Though Steven didn't allow Scizor to utilize [Swords Dance] too often and constantly inflicted damage on Scizor.

---------------------

Alex saved his two most useful Pokemon against Metagross for this one.

Although he wasn't very sure about his chances against this monster, it shouldn't be impossible to defeat him in a 1v2 fight.

3 level advantage is not small but also not as big as in the last fight against Metagross.

Alex said loudly, "3,2,1, Go"

Immediately after Alex said that he said, "E3"

Steven flashed a smile and said at the same time, "R2"

Alex, hearing this, felt for a few seconds like Steven was teasing him.

In all other fights his Pokemon don't use secret signs but in this fight, Steven suddenly started using one.

that was extremely annoying to Alex.

Although Alex can understand why Steven is only trying so to memorize these secret signs for his ace monster and not all his Pokemon.

The big disadvantage with these secret signs is that you have to learn them and that they have to be replaced regularly.

in tournaments even after each fight. or the next one against knows immediately what these secret signs mean.

Also, your Pokemon must be willing to do the same and learn these secret signs.

But the biggest problem is for the Trainers with a lot of Pokemon.

If you're not smart enough, it's hard to quickly learn and remember new secret signs after each fight for every Pokemon. even if you're smart, it takes time to do so.

Blaziken runs away from Metagross as Metagross is chasing him.

Metagross was faster than Blaziken and doesn't take that long to get in range.

But before he got within reach Blaziken used [Sunny Day].

Immediately afterward Blaziken uses [Quick Attack] to not attack but to build up a new distance again.

She uses it purely to build up a big distance from Metagross.

Steven flashed a smile as he saw this. He thought, 'Alex, you can't always expect the same trick to always work. I watch your fights too often that it works against me. You have to come up with something new. Although I have to admit I was lucky that it worked.'

Metagross just pretends to prepare a melee move to bait Blaziken to waste his [Quick Attack] on.

[Psychic] was the move that Metagross was preparing. This move didn't have infinite range, but it wasn't as small as melee moves.

Metagross came into range almost immediately and it used [Psychic]

Blaziken, who was preparing another move, didn't have time to use [Protect].

She was hit and loses more than 50% of her HP

Steven said with a happy expression, "Metagross end it with [Psychic]"

Alex modeled a serious expression but was inwardly happy that Steven gave the order.

Metagross and Blaziken both prepare their moves. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝑜𝓂

Blaziken finished first and used [Overheat] and then immediately got ready to use [Protect].

Metagross was a step too late to finish preparing his move and couldn't use [Protect]. It was hit by [Overheat].

[Overheat] master rank+ [Sunny Day] master rank was a ridiculously powerful attack and Metagross loses around 40% of the HP from it.

Metagross ignored its pain and it used [Psychic].

Blaziken's shield from [Protect] only lasts 1 second and Blaziken still took most of the damage from [Psychic].

But because of that, she was at least not knocked unconscious.

Blaziken didn't wait for Alex's orders and started preparing a new move again.

Before this fight, Alex gave Blaziken a plan so she knew what to do in which situation. It's not perfect but she knew what she had to do about this situation.

"Metagross, again. Also, don't let Blaziken get in melee range,"

Blaziken and Metagross finished their moves at the same time this time.

Metagross uses [Psychic] and knocks Blaziken unconscious.

Blaziken used [Will-O-Wisp] and managed to give Metagross a status effect.

[Will-O-Wisp] is even enhanced with [Sunny Day] which Alex didn't expect before his many tests.

but that's why he often made tests with moves and checked what had changed from the games to this reality.

Alex looked at Metagross and said, "Come on. Just a little more."

He was so close to victory.
