As Julian expected this battle between his Darumaka and Emolga started to drag out, both pokemons were attacking but none of them were able to land any significant hit, while Darumaka used Flamethrowers and Incinerate to hit Emolga but all of them were wasted because Emolga was too fast and nimble to get hit by them.

Emolga was also using a lot of Thunderbolts and Darumaka dodged them by rolling to the side, due to their constant exchange of moves that didn't land, most of it was hitting the battlefield and constantly changing it. ??

The whole battlefield is not filled with carters created by the Thunderbolt, soon Julian started to notice the changes taking place on the battlefield and also his opponent.

Elesa was too focused on staying away from Darumaka and it was a good tactic but by doing so she is not able to land any hits on Darumaka as well which caused this battle to stretch for so long, her Emolga has started to get tired from all those Thunderbolts, a pokemon can only use a significant amount of its moves, soon it will run out of energy and will faint from exhaustion.

During a long battle, stamina plays a very crucial battle, that is why many trainers with powerful pokemon try to end their battle as soon as possible as they know dragging the battle for much longer will be their downfall.

Elesa wanted to do the same, since she expected the Darumaka to be a powerhouse, just like Julian's other pokemons, she thought he would get tried and then she will move on for the attack but it was the complete opposite result, her Emolga is the one who is getting more tried while the Darumaka is still full of energy and seems to be very pissed and is blowing embers out of his nostrils while staring at Emolga.

Darumaka hated this waiting game, he wants things to go *boom-boom* but Emolga always trying to distance itself from him pissed of Darumaka even more.

Elesa 'If this continues, Emolga will lose its stamina before the battle even comes to a conclusion, I need Emolga to move a little closer for its attack to land'

She thought and decided to change her way, she asked her Emolga to move a little closer to Darumaka and continue attacking with Thunderbolt.

The closer Emolga is the faster its Thunderbolt will reach Darumaka and the better chance it has in landing a hit, when Julian noticed that Elesa has decided to get a little closer he decided to move in for his counter as well, he was waiting for her to move closer.

If he was desperately trying to get closer to her Emolga she would have suspected something, by keeping his distance, dodging their attacks and dragging out the battle, Julian made sure that Elsa doesn't suspect much and ease in so Julian can take advantage of the changes in the battlefield.

As Emolga closed in and shot a Thunderbolt at Darumaka, this time Julian didn't tell him to dodge the attack, instead he decided to take it head-on.

Julian "Use Flame Wheel"

This time Darumaka didn't dodge and started to roll while covering his body with bursting flames, he used Flame Wheel and charged straight at the direction of Emolga, the Thunderbolt came zapping through the air and hit Darumaka while he is performing the Flame Wheel.

An explosion occurred but it didn't stop Darumaka, the rolling ball of flame shot out of the smoke and charged straight into a crater that was created by a Thunderbolt, Darumaka got into the crater and used it as a trampoline and launched himself towards Emolga with intense speed.

Emolga was caught off guard and couldn't dodge this fast-rolling ball of flame and got hit, luckily for it, that Thunderbolt had reduced the power behind the Flame Wheel but Emolga still took some damage.

It got sent shooting from the air and into the ground, crashing hard, Darumaka landed on the ground and stopped for a second before Julian gave of another command. historical

Since he got the chance he is not going to hold back because Elesa is not an idiot, she has already seen what Darumaka just did and she will not repeat the same mistake of getting closer again.

Julian "Use Fire Punch"

Darumaka charged at the fallen Emolga, Emolga tried to get up and escape into the air but it was too late, as soon as it got on its feet, a flaming fist punched its face and sent it rolling on the ground following a big explosion.

As the dust cleared up Emolga could be seen on the ground knocked out cold by that punch, that battle just ended like that as Elesa made a little mistake of getting too close to Darumaka.

Elesa is shocked by this, she didn't expect that just a little change in her strategy led to such a big loss, she looked at Julian and felt like he has already seen through her, the way he sees a battlefield is completely different from anyone she has ever faced before, she has faced the best in a battle, whether it is the members of the Elite Four or the current champion of Unova but nobody made her feel so helpless before during a battle.

She saw how Julian used the craters that her Emolga created to launch Darumaka into Emolga, this level of observation is hard to achieve without experience, she wondered where Julian got all these experience from, from the looks of it he looks just like any other young man she has seen or met but none of them were so intimidating during a battle.

This showed her how dangerous Julian can really be and she is really grateful that he is s good person.
