The already unstable water surface violently shook, the rolling waves akin to a stormy symphony, resulting in Baimu's score being deducted first.
But with the Black Mist dispelled by the Dragon Flame Storm, the Shiny Feebas was nowhere to be found, leaving only Blissey standing on the protruding springboard.
"Happy!"
Blissey stood unwaveringly, a translucent Light Wall appearing, drastically reducing the power of the fierce Dragon Flame Storm, making it seem like a gentle breeze before Blissey, whose Special Defense was as solid as Copper Wall and Iron Wall!
At the same time, it activated the Intimidating Trait exchanged from Gyarados.
"Happy--!!"
Blissey's face showed an extremely threatening expression, as if facing those stubborn patients who refused to obediently accept treatment, causing Gyarados and Pelipper to recall the scene at the Pokémon Center where Nurse Blissey had jabbed them with huge needles.
Both shivered suddenly!
Miss Joy in the judges' seat brightened her eyes, clapping happily.
"Blissey unmoved under the storm swapped Traits to get Gyarados' Intimidation; Gyarados and Pelipper are starting to be afraid!" Vivian's excited voice resounded.
Ling Juan ignored her deducted score, shouting openly.
"Wake up! Shiny Feebas is here!"
Gyarados and Pelipper quickly regained their senses, but the Shiny Feebas had already broken the water surface, appearing in front of them.
In the distance, Blissey suddenly began singing a melodious High Pitch.
"Nasi--"
Pink hollow love rings, gradually enlarging, enveloped the Shiny Feebas's body; the latter twisted its body in the air with vividly shining brilliance, transforming into countless hearts shooting outward.
"So cute! Temptation, Charming Voice! It's simply a duet of love!"
Vivian couldn't help commenting, gaining unanimous agreement from most of the audience.
"Roar!"
"Peli!"
Countless hearts hit them, causing Gyarados and Pelipper to show pain yet have hearts flashing in their eyes, both being male Pokémon influenced by the female Pokémon Feebas's Temptation.
Their Special Attack capabilities were greatly reduced!
Ling Juan's score also suffered a horrifically severe deduction, instantly dropping below half, barely more than one-third!
And at this moment.
The grand battle contest had only two minutes remaining.
Ling Juan's gaze was fixed, fully aware her chances were dwindling, Baimu, who was deemed unskilled in grand battles by the outside world, was scarier than she anticipated.
If so, then why not give it all!
"Gyarados, Pelipper, stay alert! Use Inverted Scale! Gale! Don't let it retreat!"
She shouted, as the Shiny Feebas fell into the water, both Pokémon quickly regaining their senses.
One flapped its wings with all its might to stir up the last violent storm, while the other ignited indigo Dragon Flame, spinning rapidly in the turbulent pool!
Baimu's expression changed, "Use Strong Mental Will to fetch Feebas!"
Blissey quickly extended its Spiritual Power into the water, but was soon defeated by the violent and chaotic energy fluctuations.
In an instant.
The furious Gyarados roared, mixing with the Gale to form a colossal water spout, the rising water transformed into a solid outer wall, lifting the still escaping Shiny Feebas high into the air!
The terrifying scene indeed lacked the splendor, but carried an air of natural disaster!
The third Combined Skill!
"Gyarados and Pelipper displayed their exquisite coordination, showcasing a brand new Combined Skill again! Shiny Feebas is in danger! Can it escape smoothly?!"
Vivian's voice echoed across the arena.
Baimu ignored his quickly deducted score and remaining minute countdown, rapidly pondering whether to use Gravity.
But when he saw the whirlpool formed due to Gyarados's rotation in the pool, he dismissed the idea.
It's meaningless.
So how should he break it?
Exchange Field? That would merely swap one trap for another.
Moreover…
He looked up at the forcibly rotating Shiny Feebas within the water spout, then at the thirty-metre-high Tornado, and when he looked down, he noticed the hovering glass-like Light Wall on the water's surface.
A crazy idea gradually took shape.
"Feebas! Jump out! Ride the gale to jump out! You've succeeded climbing the thirty-meter-high Dragon Gate Waterfall! There's no reason you can't do so with this mere water spout!"
Baimu shouted, attempting to let the storm-bound Shiny Feebas hear his voice, "Blissey will create a springboard for you, but you only have one chance. Did you hear that? This time you have only one chance!
"But you can! Rush out! Show everyone that it's a miracle you can create!"
His voice quickly swallowed by the storm.
Closest to him, Vivian heard every word with extreme surprise and said: "Mr. Baimu's bold idea to let Feebas jump out? Only half a minute left, can Feebas succeed?"
The audience erupted in amazement, almost unable to capture the silhouette of the Shiny Feebas within the storm, just a glimpse of a violet shadow.
The severity of the gale evident.
Jumping out in such circumstances?!
"Foolish dream! Increase wind power!" Ling Juan unwilling to grant Shiny Feebas this chance, Pelipper desperately flapped its wings, increasing the storm's sweeping speed again!
Water waves trembled transformed into rising surging waves!
