Chapter no.283 Vs the Fighting Dojo part 2

" Young man, are you alright ?" The Old Master asked.
With a deep breath, Austin answered," Yes, I am alright."
Austin then stepped to the center of the dojo.
"Very well! Your opponent will be Trodaire!" The Old Master determined.
Trodaire stepped up to the center of the fighting dojo, as well. He and Austin both bowed to one another before pulling out a respective pokeball.
"I'm going to use a dual-type against you to give me an advantage!" Trodaire stated. "Go Poilwrath!"
A large tadpole-like Pokemon that looked like a buffed up version of Poliwhirl appeared from the pokeball. It was a Poliwrath. It flexed its arms and looked very prepared for battle.
"A Poliwrath, huh?" Yellow mumbled as zhe pulled out her pokedex.
"Poliwrath, the tadpole Pokemon and the evolved form of Poliwhirl..."
Ignoring the Pokedex, Austin open his PokeBall infront of him revealing a purple blob like pokemon.
" Ditto?"
A confused voice came from the pokemon as it looked at its trainer.
" Are you ready for the battle ?" Austin asked causing Ditto to vigorously shake his head.
With a sigh, Austin went down and patted the transform pokemon as he said," Ditto, we have been training for this moment. I know it's scary to think of losing but it's ok to lose because that's a part of life. There is no shame in losing but there is shame in not even trying."
Austin's words caused Ditto to look down before he looked up to his trainer with determined eyes.
Austin could see the little guy's quivering mouth but the determination in it's eyes spoke volumes of how he wanted to change his cowardly and shy nature.
Ditto puffed his chest out as he moved towards the battlefield.
"You may now begin!" the judge shouted.
"Xenomorph!" Austin called causing Ditto's body to glow with a multicolored light as he transformed into something that caused everyone to collectively take a step back as they saw a sleek, black creature standing straight in the middle of the dojo. It was at least six foot, probably more. On a better look it had long, human like legs but with an extra joint. It had three toes on its feet, each with long,sharp talons at the end. Its hands were also human like but had an extra thumb. Its long, smooth head had no eyes or ears, it nothing on it but a mouth.
What stood infront of everyone was the result of Austin's training with Ditto ? He had successfully made ditto transform into a Xenomorph.
" Brick Break on it, Poliwrath!" Trodaire yelled as Poliwrath charged towards the Xenomorph.
Ditto opened his mouth causing the Xenomorph to show another mouth extend out genuinely scaring Poliwrath.
The Xenomorph's tail shot towards Poliwrath as Ditto's brick break slammed right into it.
" Catch it !' Trodaire yelled out as Poliwrath tried to catch the Xenomorph's tail with suddenly spiked up causing the water and fighting type to have second thoughts.
" Mega Punch" Austin called while holding the Pokedex in his hand.
"Use your Mega Punch as well, Poliwrath!" Trodaire ordered.
The Xenomorph suddenly ran on all fours towards Poliwrath. Seeing the Xenomorph's better mobility, Trodaire called," Poliwrath, patience"
Poliwrath suddenly took a karate stance as the Xenomorph came closer.
Poliwrath timed his Mega Punch perfectly but it didn't take one thing into account.
A few seconds before Poliwrath lashed out with Mega Punch, the Xenomorph jumped up using his tail to launch himself up.
Twisting mid air, the Xenomorph's tail glowed with Mega Punch before it landed cleanly on Poliwrath's head.
"Cross Chop." Austin causally said as the Xenomorph still mid air crossed his arms which glowed with purplish fighting type energy.
"Use Submission, Poliwrath!" Todaire countered.
As the Xenomorph got close enough to attack, Poliwrath reached out and grabbed Ditto before it could complete the Cross Chop. It then put into a submission hold which caused Ditto to yell in pain.
"Oh, no." Yellow called worriedly
"Use Seismic Toss!" Trodaire ordered.
Poliwrath then picked up the Xenomorph and tried to swing it around like Machoke did to Tenty before it. Unfortunately, the Xenomorph's tail hit Poliwrath's ankle causing it to grunt in pain.
" Use Superpower!" Trodaire commanded.
Austin sighed.
That was a bad play.
" Hell's Nightmare." Austin's words caused the Xenomorph to molt revealing a absolute grotesque image to form infront of Poliwrath causing the fighting type to stop its move out of fear.
" Dempsey's Edge." Austin said causing to jump back as it charged towards the fear frozen Poliwrath.
" Snap out of it, Poliwrath!" Trodaire shouts weren't enough as the Xenomorph performed a Dempsey's roll alongside the move " Double Edge."
Poliwrath crashed it onto the wooden floor with swirls in it's eyes. Poliwrath was down for the count. Ditto transformed back and then stood over the Poliwrath and made a victory pose before it got embarrassed.
"Poliwrath is unable to battle! The winner is Ditto!" the judge said.
"Awesome job!" Austin congratulated his Pokemon as he ran up to hug it.
"Diiii"
Ditto stealthily transformed and took Austin's hat from his head before transforming into a small coffee mug as it hide beneath the hat.
" Looks like some things never change." Austin said causing Pikachu to answer.
" Pika.
"You have both defeated your first opponents. Well done! However, you have a while to go before you face me!" The Old Master told them.
Austin nodded but the next two fights were a curb stomp as he used Dragonaire and Rhyhorn to effortlessly destroy the other students.
Yellow meanwhile used Dody and Kitty to overwhelm her opponents.
The only one they had left to challenge was the Karate Master, himself. It didn't appear they were going to be challenging him by what he said next.
"Well done to both of you! You have bested the black belts of this dojo and only have me to face. I don't think I would be any match for you as I have stopped being a pokemon trainer ever since my fated battle with Sabrina ," The Old man told them with a little pain in his voice.
Yellow looked at the old man sympathetically while Austin said," Excuse me, Master ....."
" Anthony."
" Master Anthony, I would like to propose something that will greatly help you and this dojo."

[ Omake Paragraph ]
When the lords of Sinnoh marched south to Kanto in an ancient attempt at building empire, they brought with them numerous Rhyhorn in their army. Until the age of concrete and steel, there would be built no walls or forts which could withstand a charging Rhyhorn, and few pokemon enjoyed getting in their way either; they were feared as a cavalry deadlier than Rapidash. (Rhydon, their evolved form, are bipeds who can not accomplish a charge.)
For all the fear they caused, Rhyhorn were not without their weaknesses, and a series of tactics employed by a general of that time exploited these flaws and saved Kanto from conquest and ruin. They are poor at turning, worse at stopping, and nothing exceptional in terms of speed, so there was ample time to calculate the trajectory at which one would attack: water guns properly employed often knocked them out before they ever reached their target. Dugtrio were used as well, with pitfall traps engineered to sink under a Rhyhorn's heavy weight; far too often they merely charged out, but it slowed them up just enough. And finally, two grass pokemon would stand on either side of the charging horde and trip them with a Vine Whip, although their short legs meant that the maneuver required considerable skill to execute.
The army of Sinnoh was routed and retreated home in ignominious defeat, demanding only that Kanto not spread their anti-Rhyhorn tactics to neighboring lands. The general kept his word and was given a massive payment in gratitude, which he used to bribe the legislature of the time into appointing him as dictator.
Thus did the Republic of Kanto fall.
