Shiny Ninetales showed no fear whatsoever when he saw Mega Gengar charging at the front, along with the other Pokémon like Tyranitar, Honchkrow, and Weavile rushing up from behind.
Her elegant posture was evident.
With another soft whistle, a seven-colored energy shield enveloped it, rendering Mega Gengar's Confuse Ray ineffective.
Tyranitar then aimed his Earthquake at her, but she easily dodged it by lightly tapping the ground with her four seemingly otherworldly feet.
Immediately after Earthquake, Tyranitar was about to use the Sacred Sword against Ninetales, who had jumped into the air, clearly having tasted success against Tennessee's Arcanine.
Unfortunately, he is now facing a Champion Level Shiny Ninetales, a Pokémon that can use Psychic.
Just as Sacred Sword leaped up from the ground to attack Ninetales, she lightly tapped her hind feet in mid-air, leaping to an even greater height.
From Tyranitar's perspective, it looked as if she lightly touched the tip of the Sacred Sword and then casually and calmly jumped into the air.
The cracked ground rippled, and four enormous vines shot into the sky, aiming at Ninetales who was about to Splash again. After two leaps, Ninetales seemed to be running out of steam, and Florges, under Aoki's command, seized the opportunity.
Four vines approached Ninetales from four different angles, while golden flames suddenly erupted from her nine silver-gray tails, transforming into a huge vortex of fire that enveloped her and instantly burned all four vines to ashes.
This Shiny Ninetales has the ability to ignite; fire attacks will not harm it, but will instead make its flames stronger.
Therefore, although the vortex of flames enveloped her, it not only did not cause any harm, but also made her flames even more powerful.
Aoki watched as the Ninetales seemed to effortlessly withstand the attacks of his Pokémon, his eyes filled with intense curiosity.
Although this Ninetales is strong, it is not beyond Aoki's tolerance.
But watching her fight doesn't feel like watching a battle; it's more like watching an elegant classical dance or enjoying a melodious symphony. Her body, from head to tail tip, is perfectly coordinated and without any abruptness or disharmony.
Aoki admired this Ninetales, but the battle continued, and he couldn't show mercy just because the opponent was good-looking and seemed elegant.
Weavile and Honchkrow were later summoned.
Weavile noticed that Ninetales was already in mid-air, so he also leaped onto Honchkrow's back.
Understanding the implication, Honchkrow flapped its wings and charged towards Shiny Ninetales with Weavile in tow.
Brave Bird!
The blue, flame-like cloak completely enveloped Honchkrow. At this moment, Weavile, who was on his back, leaned down and pressed himself tightly against Honchkrow, so that the divine bird cloak would also envelop him.
No matter how agile Ninetales is, or how strong Psychic's control over her body is, she is not a flying-type. Pokémon, without wings, was of no use to Honchkrow no matter how she dodged or how Psychic tried to stop her.
Finally, with no other choice, Ninetales could only spew a ball of fire in mid-air towards the direction Honchkrow was charging from, which then coalesced into the shape of the Chinese character "大" (big).
Fire Blast!
However, Honchkrow ignored the warnings and charged towards Fire Blast, his speed not decreasing but increasing instead.
Just then, Slowking, who had been guarding Aoki, suddenly disappeared from his spot. When he reappeared, he was already higher up in the sky, and a ball of Water Pulse crashed into Honchkrow and Fire Blast before they collided.
boom!!!
The collision of flames and water vapor caused an explosion due to the different temperatures, while a large amount of fog appeared in mid-air, obscuring Honchkrow and Weavile.
Ninetales stared at the cloud of mist, unsure if his Fire Blast had hit Honchkrow.
But she soon saw the result: Honchkrow, with an increasingly dense divine bird cloak, burst out of the mist and crashed into Ninetales.
BOOM!!!
The Divine Bird Garment successfully struck Ninetales, and it was at this moment that the Safeguard that Ninetales had initially used finally dissipated.
Weavile, who had been prepared all along, also began to have an idea at this moment. He jumped off Honchkrow's back and charged toward Ninetales, who was slightly unsteady after being hit by Brave Bird, and ice crystals instantly condensed on his claws.
His attack target and direction were very simple and singular: Ninetales ' two front legs.
Ninetales, who thought Weavile was going to attack her own defenses, never expected that Weavile would attack her feet instead.
Ice Punch with Metal Claw!
BOOM!! BOOM!!
All hits landed, and Weavile, falling, rolled away to avoid Ninetales's pursuit.
Ninetales' injuries were not very serious, even minor, but both of her feet were injured, which would significantly impact her mobility.
Just as she was about to fall, two more stone pillars filled with scorching magma shot up from the ground, causing her to instinctively try to jump upwards with both feet.
But when she put pressure on her feet, her expression, which had remained unchanged, began to furrow because of the pain emanating from her feet.
This pain and hesitation gave Aoki the opportunity to seize.
Under Aoki's watchful eye, Tyranitar's Sacred Sword, which was already nearing its limit, leaped another ten centimeters, successfully striking Ninetales, who was unable to create enough space for himself due to foot pain.
boom!!!
The Sacred Sword exploded.
Her silver-gray fur was finally stained with a bit of dust, pulling her back from her ethereal, otherworldly appearance to the mortal realm.
Blaziken, poised to strike, appeared above her, her black feet engulfed in crimson flames— Brazken's Sacred Fire, amplified by Swords Dance's Fire Kick.
Ninetales glanced at Blaziken's Fire Kick and was astonished when he saw the holy flames on his feet.
As a Pokémon that also excels at using Fire-type Pokémon, Blaziken immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the flames on its feet.
However, Sacred Fire is still fire, and Blaziken Sacred Fire is not entirely outside the realm of fire.
Since it was fire, she wasn't afraid.
But Psychic still surged out immediately, and an inexplicable Extrasensory blasted towards Blaziken.
Fortunately, Slowking reacted quickly enough, and Teleport appeared in front of Blaziken, taking the Extrasensory's attack for him.
Blaziken's eyebrows furrowed, and the flames on his body surged even more intensely.
However, Ninetales showed an expression that didn't seem to care much.
But soon, her expression changed, because above the red light in the eyes of the Mega Gengar directly below her, Ninetales ' Flash Fire ability was swapped with her own.
"Blaze" Blaziken yelled, displaying the power to kick an island to pieces.
