This is one of the few high-powered physical moves among poison-type moves, Garbage Shot. It is the move that can pose the greatest threat to Snorlax!

"Use Ice Punch on the ground!"
Seeing this, Crimson immediately responded by giving a command to Snorlax.
"Click!"
Knowing what "red" meant, Snorlax immediately raised its two fists, frozen by ice-type energy, and began frantically pounding the ground in front of it before Garbage Shot could hit.
Bang—bang—bang—bang—bang—bang—!
Each punch, a freezing blow, slammed into the ground, leaving behind a large portion of its ice energy that froze into ice blocks.
Almost instantly, an ice wall, barely enough to stop Snorlax, rose up, blocking most of the Garbage Shot's attack!
"what?"
Unexpectedly, the clumsy Snorlax was able to perform such an operation in such a short time, which surprised Grandma Kikuko.
After a slight pause, Crimson seized the opportunity and gave Snorlax the command to end the battle:
"Use, Ultimate Impact!!"
"Click!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Snorlax's entire body began to emit a strong light, illuminating the slightly dark battlefield!
Aim at Arbok's landing spot and charge out!
"Cha-bo...!?"
Arbok, suspended in mid-air, saw Snorlax charging towards it and immediately spread its serpentine wings, preparing to use the airflow to dodge Snorlax's attack.
but.
When the folds open, a small portion of ice hidden on them is also revealed, preventing the folds from opening immediately!
"This is... a remnant of the Ice Fist from before...?"
At this moment, Granny Kikuko's sharp eyes also noticed a small piece of ice frozen on Arbok's folds.
Although it was only a very small, inconspicuous piece that you could hardly notice if you weren't paying attention, it was this small piece that slowed down Arbok's ability to open its snake folds.
That's the part about it being slow!
"Click!!!"
Snorlax, its body gleaming with intense light, suddenly attacked, aiming at Arbok in mid-air. After estimating the distance, it leaped into the air!
It didn't give Arbok a chance to dissolve the ice on the snake folds. Its huge body and the bright light it shone directly and slammed into Arbok!
boom!
Like a cannonball, Arbok was sent flying and crashed heavily into the wall next to the battlefield, kicking up a cloud of dust!
moment.
The dust gradually settled.
Arbok, now embedded in the shattered wall and with circles drawn on its eyes, is revealed, having lost its ability to fight!
Thus begins this Tokiwa Dojo Challenge!
The outcome is decided!
Red and Snorlax win!
...
...
"Well done!"
"Pikachu!"
"Click...click..."
After praising Snorlax to Pikachu, Crimson took out a Poké Ball and recalled Snorlax, then turned his gaze to Grandma Agatha in front of him.
"Very well done, young man..."
Grandma Kikuko nodded slightly, took out a Poké Ball to recall the Arbok that had lost its ability to battle, and walked towards Crimson while leaning on her cane, saying something.
"To have trained two Elite Four level Pokémon at such a young age, and the command and judgment he displays in battles..."
"Young man, you are the most talented young person I have ever seen. The only one who can compare to you is that old man's grandson..."
After the battle, Grandma Kikuko's tone was not as harsh as before, and she even had a hint of appreciative smile.
Indeed, from becoming a rookie trainer and leaving Pallet Town to arriving at the first city, Viridian City, and now returning to Viridian City, which is now the last city.
Five months have passed.
Red, on the other hand, has grown from a rookie trainer to an Elite Four trainer, and even one of the top ones!
Who wouldn't be surprised by this speed? Who wouldn't admire it?
"where..."
Understanding Grandma Kikuko's appreciation, Akane gladly accepted it, nodding calmly in response.
Neither humble nor arrogant, neither proud nor impatient, this scene added to Grandma Kikuko's appreciation.
·· ···Requesting flowers· ······
"Alright, here's the green badge."
As she spoke, Grandma Kikuko took out a badge that was half green and half blue, resembling a leaf, and handed it to Akane.
"Thanks, Grandma Kikuko..."
Crimson nodded slightly, thanked him, and, with a slight thrill in her heart, accepted the green badge and pinned it to her bra collar.
This is his eighth badge, and also his last badge in the Kanto region. Now he has qualified to participate in the Quartz Conference in two months!
Meanwhile, the green badge was obtained.
This also signifies that the crimson journey is about to come to a temporary end.
...... ... ...
"..."
"Pikachu!"
After saying goodbye to Grandma Akiko, Crimson, having successfully obtained the Green Badge, left the Viridian Gym with Pikachu.
"This little guy has already collected all eight gym badges? Looks like he's preparing for the Indigo League..."
Grandma Kikuko, leaning on her cane, stood there, watching the crimson figure gradually disappear, and suddenly chuckled softly:
"With such a little monster, it seems that the Kanto region will definitely stand out in this Quartz Conference!"
...
...
Outside the Tokiwa Gym!
"..."
Red led Pikachu slowly out of the gym, pushed open the door, glanced at the setting sun, and prepared to head to the Pokémon Center to rest.
Just as they were about to step away and leave.
At this moment, a man with a strange device on his head that resembled glasses, light yellow hair, and wearing a white long coat and black trousers appeared.
Suddenly appearing in front of the crimson figure, a slight smile playing on her lips, she greeted him:
"Red Lord, it's been a long time."

213. The Black Dragon of Purgatory, Super Charizard X!!! (Please subscribe to the full series!)
In an apartment in Tokiwa City.
This place is more like a laboratory than a residence.
"Red Lord, what do you think is the trainer and the Pokémon that unlocks the Pokémon's potential?"
Akromar brought Crimson here, asked him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and asked him questions with a slight smile.
"Bonds..."
After taking a sip of tea, Crimson heard Akroma's question and gave the same answer as before without hesitation.
That's right, the man who stopped Crimson at the entrance of the Viridian Gym not long ago was Akromani, whom I had met once before in Celadon City.
"So you still have the same answer...?"
Upon hearing this, Akromar's smile deepened, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He then looked at Crimson and asked again:
"Red Lord, as far as I know, your starter Pokémon was Charmander, right? It should have evolved into Charizard by now, right?"
"Um..."
Crimson seemed a little confused by the question, but still nodded slightly in response.
Although the other party's true identity is not simple, his public identity is a Pokémon researcher, and according to his memories from his previous life.
Akromar in the game is not purely evil; everything he does is for the sake of his research.
His research was on "What triggers the potential abilities of Pokémon?" As is well known, few researchers are normal.
Akroma was no exception; he pursued his research on "What Unleashes the Potential of Pokémon" to the extreme, especially the relationship between trainers and Pokémon.
Pokémon that have received help from their trainers become much stronger than wild Pokémon, but why does this happen?
Humans are far inferior to Pokémon, yet they are able to help these magical creatures. But are trainers controlling Pokémon, or are they treating them as partners?
