"Cha-bo!!!"
A burst of white light appeared, and a giant purple python, far larger than an ordinary Ekans, with its body coiled, its neck spread out like a canopy, and its forked tongue flicking, appeared in the arena.
An invisible tension instantly filled the entire battlefield. The constantly protruding forked snake tongues revealed a cold glint, and the sharpness of the fangs made one feel as if they had a thorn in their throat!
"..."
Facing this tension head-on, Crimson remained calm, scrutinizing the Arbok. In its crimson eyes, a stream of invisible, colorful light flickered and shimmered.

"¨々..."
Red was slightly disappointed after consuming the Arbok's information, and then gently shook his head.
The tension, the peak of the Elite Four... This is clearly not the Arbok that Granny Kikuko had, the one that shone brightly in the Elite Four Challenge and the "Exhibition Match"!
This Arbok (Noho) should only be a member of Granny Akiko's second team, which is normal, since it's just temporarily taking over the gym and the main team isn't needed for gym battles.
Moreover, judging from that champion-level Gengar, it's clear that Grandma Akiko's main force is not something that the current Crimson can easily contend with.
Furthermore, Arbok at its peak Elite Four level, although its ability is not very useful, is still a good opponent for Red.
"..."
His fingers slid across the Poké Balls on his belt, finally settling on the third black Mega Ball.
Take it off, tap the button in the center, and it instantly expands to the size of a palm before being thrown into the field.
"Click! Beep!!"
.........................................
211. Viridian City Gym Challenge: Snorlax vs. Arbok!
"Click!!!"
A flash of white light, and Snorlax's massive body slammed into the ground, shaking the entire arena. Its eyes were fixed intently on Arbok in front of it.
Snorlax's appearance signifies the official start of the Viridian City Gym Challenge.
Tokiwa Dojo Challenge!
Battle rules: 1v1!
Crimson Crimson vs. Kikuko!
Snorlax vs. Arbok!
Let's begin!
...
...
"One hundred thousand horsepower!"
The challenger attacked first, and Crimson gave the order to attack Snorlax without hesitation.
"Click!!!"
Snorlax roared, its narrowed eyes glowing red, and streams of brown energy gathered at its raised foot.
Then, it slammed its foot into the ground, unleashing a power of 100,000 horsepower that shook the battlefield, and charged towards the Arbok in front of it!
"Dissolve it, then use the venomous fangs!"
Seeing this, Granny Kikuko calmly and casually gave Arbok a command.
"Cha-bo!"
Upon receiving the command, Arbok began to writhe on the field, its long body rubbing against the ground repeatedly.
By utilizing the ground vibrations, 933 managed to minimize the damage caused by 100,000 horsepower, making it almost negligible!
"Cha-bo!!!"
After neutralizing Snorlax's 100,000 horsepower, it took advantage of Arbok's attack time to coil up and spiral its body upwards.
Instantly, it was launched into the air like a spring, and at the same time, Arbok's neck opened up like wings!
Followed by.
Arbok's speed suddenly increased dramatically!
It left a purple afterimage on the field and flew to Snorlax's front in a few breaths.
It bared its sharp fangs, and the poison energy had turned into venom that clung to them, resembling sharp blades, and stabbed fiercely at Snorlax!
"Click...!"
Faced with Arbok's attack, Snorlax immediately raised its arm to try and defend itself, but was still bitten hard on the shoulder by Arbok, suffering considerable damage.
"That's it, let's use the Freeze Fist right away!"
Immediately afterwards, the crimson command came.
"Click!!!"
Snorlax endured the pain, its eyes hardened, flashing with cold light. It raised its left fist, gathering the cold ice-type energy into it, condensing it into an Ice Fist, and punched Arbok out from its shoulder!
"Cha-bo..."
Seeing this, Arbok immediately released its fangs, preparing to dodge Snorlax's attack, but it was too late. It was hit hard by an Ice Punch and sent flying.
Meanwhile, a small piece of ice was stuck to Arbok's open neck, not too big but not too small either.
"..."
Boom-!
Even after Arbok was knocked away by the opponent's attack, Granny Kikuko's expression remained unchanged.
"That's it, use the deadly poison!"
With each rise and fall of his cane, a resounding thud echoed as he delivered his hoarse, decisive command.
"Cha-bo!!!"
Arbok, which had been knocked away, adjusted its body in mid-air, gathered poison energy in its mouth, condensed a pool of venom, and blasted it towards Snorlax!
This is a tactic that Arbok, as a Poison-type Pokémon, often uses. When encountering a tough opponent, it relies on its poison to slowly wear them down!
What's more, this time the opponent is a tanky beast like Snorlax!
But unfortunately...
This time, the Snorlax he encountered wasn't buying it!
"Click..."
The sudden venom caught Snorlax off guard, leaving it little time to react, and struck its chest directly.
Immediately afterwards, the pool of venom frantically tried to penetrate its fur and skin and enter its bloodstream!
Unfortunately, no matter how hard the venom tried to penetrate, it couldn't get through Snorlax's fur, let alone its skin and blood.
"Click!"
Snorlax, having only just realized what was happening, shook its body and scattered like a puddle of water.
This is one of Snorlax's abilities: Immunity!
It can make it immune to poisoning and highly toxic states!
With this one characteristic, Snorlax is arguably the most troublesome opponent among Poison-type Pokémon!
It has high special defense, high HP, and is immune to poison and deadly poison. Its only weakness is physical defense, and it can only be overcome by physical attacks.
but.
Among poison-type skills, there are almost no powerful physical moves. The highest one is just a low-power shot with 120 power, and its accuracy is extremely low.
Snorlax, on the other hand, has many moves that can attack Poison-type ...
"So the special ability is immunity after all..."
As a veteran Elite Four member, Grandma Akiko had already guessed this when Red sent out Snorlax, and this scene is just confirming it.
"earthquake!"
Red then gave another order, commanding Snorlax to attack once more.
"Click!!!"
Snorlax roared, raised its left foot, which was gathered by the ground energy, and stomped heavily on the ground, unleashing another Ground-type move, Earthquake, which was super effective against Poison-type moves, towards Arbok.
"Cha-bo..."
The earthquake covered the entire battlefield, and Arbok could no longer dodge it using the same method as before, which was to avoid 100,000 horsepower.
"Jump, trash shot!"
Grandma Kikuko noticed this and immediately took action, issuing a command to Arbok.
"Cha-bo..."
After enduring some of the damage from the earthquake, Arbok immediately leaped into the air to avoid the rest of the earthquake.
At the same time, it opened its snake folds, gathering poison-type energy in its mouth. The next moment, two purple beams of poison-type light tore through the battlefield and struck Snorlax!
