Self-Destruct move is very deadly in this world. Especially if the Pokémon using it is on Elite rank.

The user of the Self-Destruct move not only becomes unconscious but also suffers grave injuries that can be fatal if not healed immediately. ​​

While the possibility of a Pokémon using this move in the wild is very unlikely, it is not impossible. Some Pokémon are so vengeful that they would prefer to lose their lives to kill or injure their enemy.

Alex saw Golem coming closer and closer with an arrogant expression and took his Pokéballs out of his belt.

After retrieving all of the Pokémon except Crobat, he gave Crobat a command. "Crobat, take me 150 meters away from here."

Crobat, who thought that they would fight here, looked confusingly at Alex but immediately did as Alex said.

Alex flew away with Crobat, and Golem had a victorious look on his face seeing that.

After only a few seconds of flying, Crobat landed again.

Although Golem and Alex could still see each other, they were way too far to attack each other.

Alex looked coldly towards Golem and took all his Pokémon out of their Pokéballs again.

"Kirlia, Calm Mind."

"Scizor, use Focus Energy and Agility."

"Shieldon, Rock Polish."

Alex's Pokémon looked confused at first, but after they saw Alex looking sharply in the direction of Golem, they showed an understanding look.

Their trainer was really vengeful.

Golem saw Alex and figured out that Alex did not run away but simply created a distance between them and became a little confused. But when he saw Alex's Pokémon using reinforcement moves, he showed a thoughtful expression.

After several seconds of intense thinking, he finally understood that Alex wasn't actually scared but wanted to reinforce his Pokémon before starting the fight.

Golem looked angry and started running at his fastest speed towards Alex. Golem is slow, but that is compared to normal Pokémon. His speed can not be compared to a human's running speed.

Alex saw this Golem running like a juggernaut and watched calmly.

Golem's smartest options would have been to run away or reinforce himself with Defense Curl. He could have also filled the battle area with Stealth Rock so that Alex's Crobat would have a problem in flying freely. But he is too arrogant with his Elite rank strength. And this arrogance will lead to his demise in this battle.

"Do Golem have their brain made of stones too, or is this Golem particularly gifted?"

...

Kirlia and Shieldon, who had already been reinforced to maximum, got ready to fight.

Scizor seemed to need a little longer to reinforce himself to the max.

"Ditto, transforms yourself into Kirlia. After that, both of you use Helping Hand on each other."

Alex, who could understand the strength and usefulness of Ditto from the last two team fights, wondered why no Pokémon trainer trains a Ditto. Although it is not particularly strong in 1 v/s 1 battle, its usefulness in team battle is abnormally high.

As the Golem came in the combat range, Alex had 2 Kirlia who had been buffed up to the maximum with the Calm Mind and Helping Hand, Scizor with max Agility and Focus Energy buff, and Shieldon with max Rock Polish buff.

As soon as the Golem was in range to attack Alex and his Pokémon, it began to prepare a move.

Alex immediately ran out of Golem's attack range together with Torchic. He didn't want to be accidentally hit by an Expert rank Earthquake from an Elite Pokémon. Earthquake works differently in this world than in Alex's world but is not necessarily more harmless.

When the move Earthquake is used, the ground will produce a strong vibration with the user as the center point. This will cause severe internal damage to any Pokémon that comes into contact with this vibration. This move does a lot more damage here than in the game, making it very popular among the trainers.

Although this move is very strong in this respect, it has several weak points.

1: The further a Pokémon is from the central point of the move, the lesser damage it takes.

2: The move can only be kept up for 1 or 2 seconds if it is not on the Expert rank. Pokémon can just jump up to avoid this move.

3: Flying-type Pokémon or Pokémon who can levitate cannot be damaged by this move as long as they remain in the air.

Unfortunately, Golem has made that move on the Expert rank, which is really bad for Alex.

Although Alex's Pokémon are around 30 meters away, the range of an Elite Pokémon with an Expert rank Earthquake is relatively large. So Alex's Pokémon would still take a plentiful amount of damage.

If Alex were this Golem's trainer, he wouldn't be using Earthquake from this relatively long distance. It's just very ineffective.

For example, he could defeat Kirlia with 1 Earthquake if Kirlia was right in front of him and would not have to use the move several times to defeat Kirlia.

"Kirlia, Ditto, use Magical Leaf."

"Scizor, use Metal Claw after Ditto and Kirlia's attack."

Although the 2 times Magical Leaf with Calm Mind and Helping Hand buff would have defeat Golem immediately, Alex had felt that the Golem would probably withstand it.

Elite ranked Pokémon is really no joke. Especially if Alex Pokémon have a 6-7 level difference.

Kirlia and Ditto used Magical Leaf, and a large storm of Magical Leaf leaves quickly flew towards Golem.

At the same time, Golem used Earthquake and made the whole earth shake strongly in its surroundings.

Scizor, who was running straight towards Golem, took most of the damage and spat out blood from his mouth. He also briefly stopped running in the direction of Golem. Golem, who did not stop using Earthquake, did even more damage to Scizor, who also did not stop spitting blood. Alex's other Pokémon also suffered a bit of damage, but not as much as Scizor, who was relatively close.

Fortunately, Golem was then hit by the combined Magical Leaf storm and could no longer seem to keep up as he was crying out loud in pain.

Golem's whole body had deep cuts and spouts of gray liquid. His entire body looked like he had just been hit by 100 sharp swords.

Even though the Golem was so badly damaged, it was not unconscious yet.

Scizor took the chance and ran swiftly in front of Golem with silver-glowing claws. He used his full speed that he had built up and used Metal Claw.

Golem was hit in the head by Scizor and flew like a soccer ball several meters before he fell unconscious to the ground.

Without a word, Alex brought out a Super Potion and a Great Ball as he looked in the direction of Scizor to check whether Golem was really unconscious.

Scizor nodded, and Alex went in front of Golem and began to heal him. Immediately afterward, he used his Great Ball to catch Golem.
