Chapter no.365 Giovanni Vs Austin part 2

[ POV Change ]
A peaceful stillness hung in the air, broken only by the occasional sound of a twig snapping underfoot. In the distance, a giant white Haunter could be seen, floating slowly through the trees with its ominous red eyes scanning the area for prey.
Suddenly, without warning, the Haunter crashed into a nearby tree, shattering it into a thousand pieces with a deafening explosion. The ground shook beneath the feet of a nearby Nidoqueen, causing her to stumble as she tried to regain her balance. With a growl, she charged towards the Haunter, her pointed horns gleaming in the fading light.
Nidoqueen's attack was swift and powerful as she slammed into the Haunter with all her might. But to her surprise, the ghostly creature merely phased through her, leaving her charging towards nothing but air. The Haunter's sinister laughter echoed through the forest, causing the Nidoqueen's ears to twitch with irritation.
Undeterred, the Nidoqueen spun around to face the Haunter once more, ready to take on the ghostly creature with all her might. The Haunter, however, was not so easily defeated. With a flash of its eyes, it disappeared into the shadows, leaving the Nidoqueen standing alone in the forest.
Emerging from beneath the shadow floor, Haunter unleashed a powerful Shadow Ball attack, aiming for Nidoqueen's weak spot.
But Nidoqueen was too quick, dodging the attack and charging forward again as Haunter disappeared into the darkness of the forest before she found herself surrounded by a barrage of shadow punches.
Nidoqueen tried to counter with a Tail Whip, but the attack went through the shadow punches showing that they were mere illusions as suddenly Nidoqueen looked up to see Haunter's giant form holding a shadow ball as she brought it down on Nidoqueen who roared, unleashing a powerful Hyperbeam. The ground beneath Haunter trembles as the forest was lit up in a show of light as the two battled.
The Two attacks battled it out but Nidoqueen's Hyperbeam was the winner as it imploded the shadow ball and launched itself at Haunter crashing into it causing the ghost type to fall as Nidoqueen slowly walked towards Haunter's still form as she wanted to bring the ghost to her trainer as this battle had taken place quite far away from Austin and Giovanni's location.
Nidoqueen was about to grab Haunter's body before her claw phases through Haunter, Nidoqueen jumped back to attack before she felt her head be enveloped by a psychic pull as her head was forcefully turned to the side as Haunter unleashed a powerful Hypnosis attack. Nidoqueen's eyes glaze over, and it fell into a deep sleep.
Haunter took advantage of the opportunity, unleashing a devastating Dream Eater attack. It feed on Nidoqueen's dreams, draining its energy and weakening it further.
But Nidoqueen is not defeated yet. It suddenly woke up, surprising Haunter, and charged forward with a powerful Megahorn attack.
Haunter was caught off guard, before a jet of water crashed into Nidoqueen, slamming her into the ground.
Nidoqueen tried to get up before Wartortle unleashed as Hydropump point blank.
Nidoqueen tried to dodge, but it was too late as the hit, and Nidoqueen fell to the ground, defeated.
...
Meanwhile with Austin and Giovanni, Musharna's eyes glowed as the area was engulfed by Trick Room as Giovanni smirked.
" Well, it's not quite fair for you to use two Pokémon at the same time, is it ?" Giovanni words ended with him releasing a dugtrio besides his Rhypherior suddenly Dugtrio's ability sand veil activated as the battlefield was engulfed in a sandstorm while Austin released Rhyhorn besides Musharna.
Suddenly getting a psychic message, Austin was informed that Wartortle and Haunter had taken down Nidoqueen.
Austin sighed in relief as he could see that while he wasn't on Giovanni's level, his dirty tactics were paying off as long as Giovanni believed that this was a fair battle.
From the manga, Austin knew that Giovanni was someone who wanted talented people by his side like red and Giovanni even wanted to beat Red fair and square to get him on his side, if Giovanni believed that this was all a fair battle that he wouldn't try to use anything dangerous like amplifying his Pokémon with his powers similar to Lance and Yellow as he wanted him on his side but he ( Austin ) was going to use this as an opportunity to cheat in this battle in any shape, way or form to win.
Even if he didn't win tonight, Austin now had a clear understanding of the difference in power between him and Giovanni.
" Mrs Fuji, you are quite the trainer being able to raise such specimens of power. Why don't we end this conflict quickly ? I am a busy man." Giovanni asked but Austin remained silent.
" Rhyhorn, use Drill Impact !"
" Guess you're only going to listen after I beat you." Giovanni exclaimed as the sandstorm was blasted apart by a fast moving Rhyhorn as the swirl of Giga impact formed around itself horn as the energy swirled in a drill like fashion around the pokemon.
Giovanni's Rhyperior reeled it's fist back as it attacked Rhyhorn with a focus punch.
The two attack met in the middle as the entire sandstorm around them was blasted apart by the sheer shockwave of the attacks colliding.
" BOOM !"

[ Omake Paragraph ]
It is said that if one looks at a Wooper for long enough, that person will soon be infused with renewed purpose and a strong will to live. This is as much illustration as exaggeration, for there is something about a frolicking group of Wooper which brings people to contentment and inner peace.
Wooper are beloved not just for their cute faces, however, but also for their immense determination. They are known to drag drowning swimmers to the surface using only their mouths, for they lack arms to hold them. They painstakingly manipulate objects with their tails, using tools in the manner of Mankey or Oshawott despite lacking the limbs to do so effectively. And when in battle, although their grit alone rarely allows them victory, one must remember that opposing pokemon refuse to use moves such as Selfdestruct against them, for they too are inspired by Wooper to live for them to explode.
Rarer than even the golden Wooper, which is said to be the finest anti-depressant known to man, is a variant of the species known as a "Reverse Wooper". These Wooper are born with an upside-down mouth, and their pouting frown of a face fills people with such despair that many are driven to suicide instantly.
