<h4>Chapter 341: Gym battle End</h4>


    "Get out of there! Use ''Volt Speed'',"


    Electabuzz transformed into an arc of electricity and swiftly moved back to avoid further damage. However, it was still hurt from the previous attack.


    "Let''s not waste time. Use ''Volt Speed'' and ''Electro Chop'',"


    Electabuzz moved at blinding speed towards Nidorino once again. Nidorino couldn''t do anything to match its speed. Electabuzz''s right hand was now covered in an electric glow, with sparks emanating from its sharp, electrified shape. It struck Nidorino''s neck with the attack, mming it onto the ground.


    Nidorino was now bleeding from the back of its neck and appeared to be paralyzed. It contemted how Electabuzz had used its electric powers to remove poison from its body and wondered if it could also use its poison powers to ovee the paralysis.


    First, Nidorino used ''Focus Energy'' and concentrated. Axel was surprised. What the hell was it doing in the middle of the battle? Nidorino started to channel its poison powers within its body, intending to counteract the electric arcs that had paralyzed it. However, Electabuzz wouldn''t allow Nidorino the time to learn a new move in the midst of the battle. It closed in once again and delivered a ''Fire Punch'' to Nidorino''s face.


    The attack struck Nidorino, throwing it a considerable distance away. Electabuzz, still in ''Volt Speed'' mode, wasted no time in approaching Nidorino once more.


    "Nidorino, use ''Dig'' and go underground! Then use ''Focus Energy''," Axelmanded.


    ''Dig'' was a move Nidorino had recently learned, although it couldn''t stay underground for an extended period like Mamoswine. Nevertheless, Axel instructed Nidorino to hold its breath and use ''Focus Energy'' to ovee the paralysis.


    While Nidorino went underground, Electabuzz impatiently awaited its return, sending ''Shock Waves'' through the hole Nidorino had created. Nobody knew if the move had hit its mark.


    After some time, Nidorino emerged from another hole, right where Electabuzz had been standing. Anticipating the ground''s movement, Electabuzz swiftly dodged the attack.


    Given their close proximity, Nidorino utilized ''Horn Drill'' and sessfully hit Electabuzz in the chest. ''Horn Drill'' was a powerful move that took a toll on Electabuzz.


    Electabuzz, wanting to create distance, used ''Volt Speed'' once more to retreat. Nidorino appeared to have recovered from paralysis and was ready to continue the fight. However, its neck injury was severe and still bleeding. Axel knew he needed to end the battle swiftly.


    He instructed Nidorino to use ''Agility'' once and then ''Dig'' again. kazam, still present, ryed Axel''s message to Nidorino, emphasizing the need to prepare ''Spinning Poison'' underground.


    Nidorino created arger hole this time, allowing it to generate spinning poison beneath the surface. It first made an exit hole to resurface and began charging for the move.


    The move now took around 10 seconds, a significant improvement from its initial 30-second duration. When Electabuzz stood on the previously dug hole, Axel shouted, "NOW!"


    Nidorino emerged with ''Spinning Poison'' in its mouth, aiming to strike Electabuzz''s chest once more.


    Sensing the attack, Electabuzz attempted to dodge, but to its surprise, it had underestimated the move''s reach.


    Morgan shouted, "DODGE IT FAST!"


    If the attacknded, it would be game over for Electabuzz. Already injured from the earthquake, it wouldn''t survive the hit.


    Electabuzz, the fastest Pokemon of Morgan''s team. It utilized its ''Volt Speed'' to move at such incredible velocity that Axel couldn''t even follow with his eyes. He had to rely on his Aura to sense the movements.


    Yet, even with heightened perception, Electabuzz remained too fast to detect. It managed to evade the attack, but the ''Spinning Poison'' still affected the surrounding area.


    The spinning ball of poison struck the ground, resulting in a massive explosion.


    ''What was that attack? It''s the strongest attack I''ve ever seen. Will Electabuzz survive it?'' Morgan wondered.


    As the dust settled, the results became apparent. Electabuzz was still breathing, but it suffered severe injuries. Meanwhile, Nidorino was also in poor condition.


    "Electabuzz, use ''Volt Speed'' and ''Electro Chop'' to finish this battle!" shouted Morgan.


    Electabuzz moved as fast as it could, although Axel could see that it was visibly fatigued now. Nevertheless, Nidorino was unable to dodge the attack and did its best to defend itself.


    The oue? Nidorino fainted.


    "Nidorino is out of the battle. The challenger is requested to send out theirst Pokemon," announced the referee.


    "That won''t be necessary," said Morgan, calling back Electabuzz.


    "I forfeit the battle," Morgan dered.


    ###


    The crowd erupted in cheers, chanting Axel''s name. It was a glorious battle. The gym leaders not only tested Axel but also devoted their full concentration to defeat him. Everyone could see that. Nheless, Axel emerged victorious from this challenge, earning two gym badges.


    "Why didn''t you continue?" Axel asked.


    "Electabuzz was already injured. I know it couldn''t defeat your next Pokemon. Additionally, I know that Nidorino isn''t your strongest Pokemon, and I don''t wish to fight against it. I have lost, fair and square. Congrattions, you''ve won the Soul Badge and Thunder Badge," Morgan said, shaking Axel''s hand.


    "This was one of the most captivating battles I''ve ever witnessed. I''m sure our viewers would agree. As of now, Axel has seven gym badges and only needs one more to qualify for the uing league.


    His final gym battle will be against Mr. Kent from Cerulean City Gym. I promise it will be an exhrating spectacle. Don''t miss out..." Seliska began discussing Axel and his aplishments.


    Axel paid no mind to thementary and focused on the two gym leaders.


    "Now that you have the badge, let''s discuss your reward."
