Journey Towards Greatness

Valerie was surprised by the onslaught that her Spritzee received, there was no way she could have ever countered that, the attacks were too continuous for Spritzee to recover and counter, as soon as the first Energy Ball made contact, the battle was already over.

She was also surprised by how the Energy Ball was implemented, Energy Ball is already a very powerful move and it takes a lot of energy, to see Floette use multiple of them and shoot it like a minigun.

Valerie "You are quite impressive, I might not win this one"

She said with a smile on her face, Julian couldn't see her smile because she covered it with her hand covered by her oversized sleeve but he could tell that she is smiling from her facial feature.

Julian "You can do better"

Julian didn't comfort deny her at all, he added more to it indicating that he was not impressed, but to his surprise, Valerie didn't get offended at all, she just chuckled and sent out her next pokemon into the battlefield.

Julian also recalled Floette and sent out his next pokemon into the battlefield as well.

Valerie sent out her Sylveon and waited for looked at Julian's choice, his Clawitzer. Looking at the massive Clawitzer was very intimidating but Sylveon didn't worry, she has battled more intimidating pokemons like Aggron before.

Valerie "I will do better Mr. Julian"

She said and chuckled again, Julian didn't answer back, he didn't expect she would guess his identity so fast but if he was in her place, the last battle they had would give his identity away, he was the only trainer who could modify a move like Energy Ball in such method.

He guessed that Valerie might have guessed that it was him after seeing the use of Energy Ball in such a way and after looking at his outfit, black hair, red eyes, face mask, long coat, it perfectly matched Julian's description.

Julian "I hope so"

Julian said and let Valerie start the battle.

Valerie "Use Bite"

Valerie commanded, Sylveon started to move and it was swift, its slender but powerful legs helped it to run very fast, it rushed towards Clawitzer in a zig-zag pattern and moved to Clawitzer's left side where this massive claw isn't present.

Since this is his blind spot for Clawitzer, Sylveon targeted it on purpose, it opened its mouth wide and created a jaw made of dark energy, and tried to chomp down on Clawitzer but to its surprise, it suddenly moved at a very astonishing speed and turned its massive claw towards the dark jaw and stopped its descent.

The dark jaw slammed right on top of his massive claw but it didn't have any effect on him, the massive claw was part of his body but it also acted as his shield, any damage he took on the claw didn't affect him one bit, the only thing he will feel his pain and soreness if he takes things too far, to take him out Sylveon will have to damage his body.

Sylveon quickly backed up as soon as it noticed Clawitzer turn around and protected himself, it didn't want to get caught by a Crab Hammer or some other big moves, it might not be able to take hits from that big hammer.

Julian "Use Scald"

Clawitzer aimed his massive claw at Sylveon and blasted a jet of scalding hot water at it, Sylveon used its incredible agility to dodge it by a hair inch saving itself from a one-hit knockout.

Julian "Crab Hammer"

As soon as Julian let out this command, Clawitzer's massive claw started to get covered in glowing water and he then suddenly shot towards Sylveon, even though he doesn't use his legs anymore that doesn't mean he cannot move fast.

Though he is not the fastest he can still move, seeing the pulsing claw of destruction coming towards it, Sylveon used its agility once again and dodged it.

Valerie "Now Magical Leaf"

As Sylveon dodged to the side, it exposed the weak side of Clawitzer, and taking advantage of this Valerie called for an attack.

Sylveon used Magical Leaf and sent multiple glowing leaves at Clawitzer.

Julian "Use Protect and then Water Pulse"

Clawitzer quickly put up a forcefield and blocked the incoming Magical Leaf and then turned around very quickly locking onto his target.

Seeing that it's under the radar Sylveon started to move in a zig-zag pattern to confuse Clawitzer but Clawitzer's gaze is locked onto it and when he felt that he predicted its movement, it blasted the Water Pulse at it.

Sylveon who was trying to catch Clawitzer off guard was caught off guard as it saw a massive Water Pulse heading straight towards it.

Valerie "Quick use Protect"

She shouted as she knew that there is no dodging it, Sylveon was fast and it did manage to put up a forcefield but as soon as the Water Pulse made contact, the forcefield shattered and the Water Pulse went past through it and hit Sylveon.
