And what is necessary to take down this Pokémon...
"Chido!"
Mawile's hands were covered in frost, two sharp ice blades swiftly formed, and it spun towards the newly landed Donphan, lightning crackling beneath its feet!
Shualala—
The cold airflow mixed with the swirling sands in the arena created a storm of brown-yellow and ice blue, rolling forward!
"Dong!?"
Donphan didn't have time to see the situation around it before its opponent ferociously attacked.
Fortunately, its reflexes were agile enough, immediately curling up into a spinning black tire, rolling to the side just in time to narrowly avoid the straight-charging ice sandstorm.
Rumble—
The ice storm instantly smashed the rocks at the edge of the arena, mixing with the flying sand.
But Donphan didn't stop at dodging the attack; instead, it accelerated, rolling swiftly along.
Where it passed, sand billowed like surging waves, making a large circle around the arena edge, adjusting its direction, enveloped in dazzling white-violet swirling airflow, fiercely crashing towards Mawile!
The fierce wind and terrifying energy vibrations caused the sandy ground to tremble incessantly!
[Ultimate Shock]!
Meanwhile.
After the ice storm missed, Mawile suddenly twisted its body with the momentum of the spin, rushing once more towards Donphan's position without hesitation.
In an instant.
Ultimate Shock and the ice storm collided loudly in the center of the arena, like a meteor hitting the Earth, raising a terrifying shock wave that instantly engulfed the entire arena. Explosive flames easily destroyed all erected rocks, while machines in mid-air were blasted to the edge of the stage in the smoke and chaos of fire and earth.
The scene resembled a nuclear explosion.
The screen was blurred.
But Baimu watching the battle wasn't too worried; he knew that after this fight, victory was surely Mawile's.
Indeed.
As the smoke slowly dissipated, a semi-circular pit emerged in the center where the sandstorm stopped.
Mawile stood excellently at one side of the pit, showing little sign of pain on its face, only some panting, while not far away lay the fainted Donphan, eyes turned into dark circles.
Clearly, in the clash with Ultimate Shock, Mawile, who had preemptively increased its power with Sword Dance, proved stronger, finishing its opponent with an Ice Storm Blade created from Frozen Fist.
"Chido!"
It waved its fist, declaring its victory.
However, after shouting, Mawile turned its head to the machine in mid-air and called twice, "Chido~"
"Ugh... Want to leave the stage..."
Baimu, though unable to communicate directly with it, understood what it was trying to convey.
This guy thinks the match is already stable, wanting to save enough energy and attribute for the next battle. The significant increase in physical attack brings a direct sense of increased attribute energy consumption.
In the field.
Mawile didn't know if its message got across, and seeing the machine retrieving Donphan, it quickly raised its right fist.
[Passing the Baton]!
It turned into a white light, flying back into the Pokeball of the machine, then Chansey entered the arena.
At the same time.
The machine on the opposite side also sent out its last Pokémon—
A crustacean Pokémon with a huge square rock on its back, a pair of large claws, and six legs, Crustle.
Seeing this, Chansey naturally recalled its attributes and traits.
No doubt.
Little Egg is the most studious of all Pokémon; to better heal the injured, it learned a lot of Pokémon knowledge back at Pyrite Town Pokémon Center, frequently studying with the Trainer on regular days.
Although it can't read text, there are hardly any Pokémon it doesn't recognize now.
"Lucky~"
Chansey, looking at Crustle, thought it could take down the opponent smoothly on its own, without needing Aggron's intervention.
As teammates are all thriving, it must make efforts too.
Both in logistics and battle!
Seeing Chansey, Crustle unhesitatingly raised its claws, manipulating energy to gather sands scattered around it into glowing giant rocks, firing them like cannonballs!
[Rock Burst]!
Boom boom boom boom!
The continuous muffled sounds accompanied by the whistling of giant rocks breaking through the air surrounded Chansey's ears.
It stepped forward, seemingly unaware of the rocks hurling in parabolic arcs, raising its small hand while approaching Crustle.
The giant rocks crashed down, shattering into countless pebble-like fragments, but couldn't even graze Chansey.
Making Crustle's eyes widen.
Suddenly, an invisible spiritual energy came swiftly, binding its body parts, causing it to uncontrollably levitate from the ground.
"Yiwah!"
Crustle frantically waved its claws and six legs, desperately trying to break free from Telekinesis.
However, the force was so strong, like pinning it firmly in mid-air, no matter how it struggled, it couldn't escape.
In a hurry, its body surface lit up with a terrifying red light, and the huge rock on its back suddenly shattered!
[Break Out]!
"Yiwah!"
Crustle shouted, managing to influence the spiritual power binding it with its strong energy waves, landing back on the ground with its shell exposed.
Red light enveloped its surface, releasing an astonishing momentum.
