"It's that powerful?"
Satoru's eyes narrowed, feeling that this was tricky.
Fortunately, Gigaton Hammer couldn't be used consecutively.
But Satoru didn't know how long its cooldown was. This wasn't a game, after all; he couldn't judge by turns.
"Tinkaton, use Flash Cannon..."
While Froakie was still on the ground, Hitori prepared to press her advantage.
"DEKA!!!"
With those words, Tinkaton put down its large hammer. A point of power gathered, and a white light began to form in its palm.
"Block it with Protect!"
The energy of the Flash Cannon was rapidly compressing.
It grew brighter and brighter, and then was fired without hesitation.
The cannon of light shot across at astonishing speed, heading straight for Froakie's green barrier.
The two forces collided in the air, the white light of the Flash Cannon and the green barrier intertwining. The barrier trembled slightly under the impact but held firm, not breaking immediately.
According to Satoru's tests, Protect wasn't invincible in this world. If the power difference was too great, it would break.
In fact, in the anime, Paul's Electivire's Protect was broken by Regirock's Stone Edge because the power difference was too great.
As for why the teacher's Tauros couldn't break through Protect? It was probably because its level wasn't that high, and Tauros's Special Attack is only 40.
The duration of Protect is very short... If Tinkaton used Gigaton Hammer again and it hit, he would definitely be one-shotted.
Which meant... he had to take the offensive in this battle!
"Double Team."
At Satoru's words, Froakie created a dozen clones, surrounding Tinkaton.
In an instant, a dozen Froakie clones appeared on the field, making it difficult to tell which was real. They surrounded Tinkaton in the middle.
"Now use Water Pulse!"
"Kero~ kero!"
Satoru commanded the Froakies to jump up simultaneously, preparing to launch a fatal blow—Water Pulse. Each one carried a blue water sphere, throwing it towards Tinkaton.
"This move again?... Ugh~ Metal Sound!"
"DAKE~~!"
A piercing metallic sound erupted from Tinkaton's mouth. The sound waves formed a current that struck the Froakie clones.
The current hit most of the clones, making them stagger, but it didn't hit the real one.
"Dake~~"
It was hit by a Water Pulse, its body sent flying back.
"Icy Wind to restrict its movement, and don't let Tinkaton near its hammer."
This move was to ban the hammer. When it used Flash Cannon earlier, Satoru had noticed that Tinkaton would put down its hammer when using certain moves.
Froakie spat out a cold breath, freezing the Tinkaton that hadn't gotten up yet. Its small jade feet were about to be frozen solid.
"Eh? Metal Sound!"
Hitori started to panic.
The Metal Sound from before had missed the real body, leading to this situation. Currently, she was at an overwhelming disadvantage.
Unfortunately, using Metal Sound again could only barely block the Icy Wind's attack. Because Metal Sound couldn't cause damage, the sound-based move could only create a slight airflow to slow down the attack.
The surrounding environment was getting colder. Tinkaton's entire body was being invaded by the cold, and it was about to be frozen solid.
Unfortunately for him, Hitori had already come up with a countermeasure!
"Tinkaton, please, use Steel Beam on the ground!"
"DAKE—!"
Tinkaton gathered the steel from its entire body into a beam and fired it intensely. The beam was as dazzling as a laser, cutting through the air with the power to destroy everything. This attack hit the ground directly, creating a huge shockwave.
The shockwave from the 140-power Steel-type move ravaged the field, shaking everything around.
This impact directly broke Tinkaton free from its frozen state. Its body flew into the air under the force of the shockwave, successfully escaping.
Seeing this, Satoru just wanted to say, can Groudon fly using this move?
Among the legendary beasts, there's only one that can't. Who do you think it is?
Tinkaton tumbled in the air, adjusted its posture, and then landed steadily on the ground, but its stamina was almost gone.
Steel Beam: The user attacks the target. The user also takes recoil damage equal to 1/2 of its max HP.
"Flash Cannon again!"
"Double Team! Use a full-power Water Pulse!"
Satoru pressed down his cap, his eyes flashing.
With those words, a dozen Froakie clones appeared on the battlefield again, not being hit by the Flash Cannon.
"Kero~"
They gathered their Water Pulses together and attacked Tinkaton!
"Deka~~"
It was sent flying, tumbling in the air, and letting out a pained roar before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up dust.
Tinkaton's hammer was indeed strong, but without its greatest weapon, it was no longer a threat.
"Yay~ Satoru won!" Anon's mood fluctuated with the rhythm of the battle. Unable to contain her joy, she was even happier than if she had won herself.
She ran to Satoru and hugged him.
"Hmph hmph Congrats."
"Thanks. It was also thanks to Anon's support." Satoru didn't resist, instead wrapping a gentle arm around her.
He had wanted to praise Froakie, but was surprised to see Anon rush over and hug him. And for some reason, Froakie had turned its back on them.
Huh?
"Kero kero (I feel like if I interrupt, Anon will hit me. I'll just celebrate with Satoru later.)"
[Uwaah! This woman is so bad! Using such a despicable method to hug you, when I haven't even hugged you~ Uwaah~~ Crying]
"Uuh..."
Oh no... was that too forward? Did Satoru notice my feelings?
Anon then realized what she had done. A blush crept onto her cheeks. She shyly let go of Satoru, gently biting her lip, her expression a little flustered.
She tried to suppress the fluttering in her heart but couldn't hide her emotions. Anon silently looked into his eyes, and he could sense the feelings hidden in the bottom of her heart.
Satoru seemed to realize something. His expression changed, and he became serious.
Gulp~
Anon swallowed nervously, and Satoru spoke.
"Anon, your heart is beating very fast. Did something happen?"
Right. I was a fool to expect anything from you!
"...It's nothing."
Hearing this, Anon's expression instantly stiffened, and she quickly pushed him away.
Her mood soured. Being noticed made her uncomfortable, but not being noticed also felt bad. She couldn't describe this complex emotion.
He probably won't notice my feelings unless I give him his first kiss...
Realizing this, Anon became even more shy and took a step back, maintaining her distance.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Forget it. Let's just go get something to eat. What do you want to eat, Satoru?"
Faced with such a blockheaded situation, Anon didn't intend to explain too much.
"Are you guys going to eat? Then let's go together."
"That was amazing... Thank you for the match."
Just then, Nijika and Hitori walked over. Hitori humbly bowed, expressing her sincere gratitude to Satoru. Satoru, in turn, expressed his honest thoughts.
"Yeah, Hitori is amazing too!"
Satoru's lips curved into a sunny smile, and his cheerful expression brought a faint blush to Hitori's cheeks, her heart couldn't help but beat faster.
"N-not at all. I'm less than a water flea... ugh..."
Hearing this, the timid Hitori began to feel self-deprecating, which made Satoru and Anon roughly understand that her personality was particularly introverted.
The two didn't pay it much mind and were about to go get lunch with Nijika and Hitori.
But Satoru glanced at the current leaderboard. MYGO's first place had been taken!
That didn't really matter. He hadn't been confident that 6 could beat 9 anyway.
And the battle point difference between the top ten teams on the leaderboard was not very large: Starlight Company, μ's, Kessoku Band, the Service Club, Roselia...
Satoru's gaze lingered on the team name Ave Mujica. According to the number displayed next to it, this team seemed to have only 2 members.
They can get to tenth place with just 2 people?
Who are they? I really want to have a battle!
Satoru's heart raced with excitement, and he clenched his fists tightly.
