Skyla is surprised once again, seeing a Fire-type move completely dominating over a Water-type move but what people tend to forget is there is more to these elements.
Yes, water can put out a fire but if a fire is hot enough it will be able to turn the water into steam if its source is not touched by the water, Swanna would have succeeded if Larvesta was somehow hindered into using his attack, too bad his fire was too hot.
Skyla didn't want to give up so she decided to take a little risk this time.
Skyla "Use Ariel Ace"
Swanna dove down at full speed using Ariel Ace, one it cannot be dodged and two, Larvesta is weak against flying type attacks as well, the only risk Skyla is taking is Larvesta's Flame Body, if that ability kicks in, Swanna might get burned but being a Water-type the damage won't be big and the duration of the effect won't be too long.
With every factor calculated Skyla went for the attack, seeing this Julian smiled, he was waiting for this, for Skyla to get closer because he has a special move waiting for her.
Julian "Use Wild Charge"
Wild Charge, the only electric type move that Larvesta knew and he hid it till the end, with Swanna being four times weak to Electricity there is no way it can.
When Skyla realized that she has fallen into Julian's trap, it was already too late, Swanna appeared right in front of Larvesta who is also charging front with streaks of lightning emitting out of his body, as both clash, the impact creates a shockwave and both pokemons are sent flying backward.
Swanna has taken more damage than Skyla anticipated, its whole body looks like it has been hit by a real lightning bolt as sparks of electricity escape its body.
Larvesta is also hurt, first from the Ariel Ace, and then from the recoil damage from the Wild Charge.
Julian "Use Giga Drain"
While Swanna is still recovering from the damage Julian decided to restore his Larvesta's health and nothing could stop him, Larvesta used Giga Drain and shot a green laser and absorbed the energy out of Swanna slowing healing himself.
It was very clear as the visible scratch on Larvesta's body slowly disappeared as he started to absorb Swanna's energy.
Skyla "Swanna, quick fly up"
Julian "Not, so fast, another Wild Charge"
Larvesta charged at the Swanna again with another Wild Charge and his speed was unmatched in this battlefield and he landed another powerful Wild Charge and this is the final one.
Swanna was not able to recover from the last Wild Charge and the Giga Drain drained almost all of its energy and this Wild Charge was the last nail in its coffin.
Swanna rolled on the ground and finally came to a stop with scratches all over its body and its eyes closed, it got knocked out.
Larvesta is also damaged as the recoil kicked in, all the energy he absorbed to heal himself was exhausted and he returned to his previous beat-up self but at the end of the day, he is the one who is still standing, the winner of this battle.
Referee "Swanna is unable to battle, Larvesta wins. The winner of this battle is the Challenger"
The referee called his decision and declared Julian as the victor, Skyla sighed, she lost badly, it was not that she is a bad gym leader, she is very strong, her pokemons were stronger as well but when it comes to battling, she was just too open for Julian to read.
Even though her attacks were powerful Julian could read her, she was too naive thinking that Julian won't have a counter for her Swanna while using his Larvesta, if he knew he had no chance of countering Swanna with his Larvesta he would have switched but he didn't
Skyla didn't catch this info and opened her Swanna to Larvesta's Wild Charge which put the end to this battle.
She looked at the Referee and signaled him to leave, he nodded his head and left leaving Skyla and Julian alone.
Skyla 'Oh my god master, you were so awesome, even little Larvesta was really cool as well"
She praised him and ran towards him like a little puppy.
Julian "You are quite good as well"
He said.
Skyla "How could I? I got completely destroyed"
She said disappointed.
Julian "Well you were an open book to me, but to other people, maybe not"
Skyla "Hehe, here take it, this is the Jet Badge"
She said and gave the badge to Julian, he took the badge and put it away in his case.
Skyla "Since master said I did good, should I expect a reward?"
She asked while hoping Julian will reward her, he looked at her and sighed.
Julian "Fine, come to my hotel room, today will be the last day here in the town, this is your last chance as you need to get to work"
Skyla "Yes, I understand"
Julian "Call Anastasia as well"
Skyla "Yes master"
She said as she watched Julian leave with his Larvesta who seems very happy with his win, he then took his pokemons to feed them their favorite treat after their performance, he then took them to the park so that they could play for a while before they hit the road again.
Tomorrow, Julian will be leaving this city and going to the next one to earn his seventh badge.
