Pokémon Court-Chapter 504: Golden Doubles

"Yeah, I've also heard about them." Terrance shook his head with a smile. Should this be called coincidence, or just pure coincidence? In the very first round, they were matched against a renowned doubles team from the Fight Area.

It's said that these two Trainers were biological sisters, possessing exceptional teamwork and coordination.

Such rumors made Terrance and Aaron, who had never teamed up before and were just a hastily assembled duo, feel a little embarrassed.

"Golden Doubles"—that was the title their opponents had earned in the Fight Area. In doubles battles, they rarely lost, frequently defeating stronger opponents with their flawless synergy.

Even though their opponents sounded formidable, neither Terrance nor Aaron showed any hint of concern.

...

"Look! Over at Arena No. 4, the Golden Doubles have arrived!!"

"The Golden Doubles are in action—this match is as good as won! Ah~ whether it's the older sister or the younger sister, they're both so adorable!"

"Tch, open your eyes wide and take a good look at who their opponents are!"

Because this was a doubles match, the Golden Doubles duo attracted a lot of attention. However, their opponents were not overlooked either.

Spectators who were originally very confident in the Golden Doubles fell into silence the moment they recognized their opponents. No one dared to make bold claims about the match anymore.

"Aaron of the Bugs..."

A prodigy of the new generation who performed well even in the Champion League, defeating many well-known Trainers. The outcome of this match... really wasn't so easy to predict.

...

"Oh? Seems like all eyes are locked on Arena No. 4?"

"Haha! So it's not just me—everyone must be looking forward to what surprises the Golden Doubles, the sisters Asuka and Rika, will bring us, right?!" the announcer exclaimed.

At this moment, all eyes were fixed on Arena No. 4, where the battle had already begun.

Facing the sisters' Jolteon and Vaporeon, Aaron and Terrance have on their side the powerful gladiator, Heracross, and the solitary warrior, Gallade.

Heracross charged forward like a lone warrior, taking on both the Jolteon and Vaporeon at once. Many spectators gaped in shock—was it really planning to endure the attacks of both Pokemon alone?

Swoosh~~

A relentless torrent of water surged forward. Although Heracross shattered the Hydro Pump with its immensely powerful horn, water splashes still scattered across the arena, leaving traces of moisture on Heracross's body.

Almost in an instant, the sisters made their decision—to eliminate the troublesome Heracross first.

"Hmph, since they dare underestimate us..."

"Hmph, then they'll pay the price."

One sister spoke after the other. At that moment, Jolteon, already prepared while Vaporeon unleashed its move, sent wild, crackling bolts of electricity sweeping toward Heracross.

"Heraaa~cross~" Heracross took the hit head-on. Thanks to the lingering water, Thunderbolt's power was greatly amplified. Seeing Heracross bathed in golden light, many spectators winced in sympathy.

"No, wait!!" The announcer suddenly shouted.

"Look at Heracross's expression! It's enduring, but there's only a look of determination on its face!!"

The announcer's shocked tone made the audience snap back to their senses, and all eyes turned toward Heracross.

"The Golden Doubles' conductivity combo—Heracross actually withstood it! What incredible willpower!!"

"Looks like the Golden Doubles have run into a difficult challenge this time. After all, their opponent is none other than Aaron of the Bugs!!"

Countless gazes shifted between the Golden Doubles sisters and Aaron. On one side stood the famed doubles duo of the Fight Area; on the other, a rising star in Sinnoh known as one of the best Trainers of the new generation. For a preliminary round, this was turning out to be a thrilling showdown.

"It didn't work?"

"Then we'll attack again."

As the two sisters spoke, thick dark clouds gathered over the arena. Vaporeon summoned the water elements, calling forth layers of mist, and raindrops began to fall rapidly.

Within the dark clouds, lightning flickered, seemingly accumulating terrifying energy.

Seeing this, Aaron focused his gaze on the arena and spoke: "Rain Dance... What a coincidence."

He was reminiscing about his battle with Terrance's Castform. But compared to that match, the Rain Dance and Thunder here were far weaker in scale.

"The entire venue's focus has shifted to Arena No. 4, yet on Arena No. 4... am I the only one no one is paying attention to?" Terrance sighed helplessly. Looking at the Gallade in the back and Heracross displaying its immense willpower in front, he suddenly smiled.

"It's about to begin, isn't it?" Aaron thought to himself.

Rewinding to before the match, when the two were discussing their strategy, Terrance had made a suggestion.

"Just have Heracross attract the attention of both of their Pokémon. What do you think—can Heracross endure their combined attacks?" Terrance teased.

"Don't underestimate my Heracross," Aaron responded with a grin.

"So, does that mean you're confident in knocking out both of their Pokémon?"

Terrance gave a mysterious smile. "Of course."

In the arena, Heracross's charge drew the full attention of the two sisters. Though they found the situation odd, they had no reason to let Heracross advance unchecked.

Vaporeon and Jolteon, acting like mobile turrets, had to maintain a certain distance when facing Fighting-type opponents!

Only by doing so could Vaporeon and Jolteon maximize the synergy between themselves.

Even though they sensed a possible trap, facing the charging Heracross, they had no choice but to focus their attacks on it. Even if it was a ploy, this was still an opportunity. However, what they hadn't expected was how resilient Heracross would be.

"As expected of Aaron's Bug-type Pokémon—what incredible willpower!" the announcer marveled once again.

But at that moment—something unexpected happened!

The spectators' eyes widened as a flash of light streaked across the arena in an instant. The figure moved so swiftly that no one had time to react—

The "bang" sound was like a drop of water in the ocean amidst the cheers and shouts of countless spectators, and no one heard it at all. But when all eyes were focused on Heracross in the arena, Jolteon and Vaporeon suddenly collapsed, and the entire venue fell silent.

The silence was so eerie that even the battles on the other seven arenas nearly came to a halt.

Gallade, in its charging stance, had delivered a fatal blow in one strike!

The announcer, about to speak, nearly dropped the microphone in shock. With a look of horror, he hurriedly turned his gaze toward Gallade, standing in front of Terrance.

"You know, it's quite embarrassing if you ignore me," Terrance murmured.
