There are significant differences between real-world doubles battles and game doubles battles.
The key difference lies in a Defend, which can be used by two Pokémon—
"Lunatone, use Meditation!"
"Solrock, use Defend! Defensive formation!"
Amidst Xiaofeng and Konan's shouts, the Solrock resembling an ancient human face statue spun and flew in front of Lunatone, opening a dazzling blue honeycomb round shield.
The Lunatone behind closed its eyes, its mind calm and its spirit boiling, with an orange-red high-energy light stream driving its state, enhancing its Special Attack and Special Defense.
To be honest.
This tactic seems a bit sneaky.
If you can't find the opportunity to use moves like Taunt, Seal, or Body Freeze Technique, it's easy for Solrock and Lunatone to continually alternate between Defend and Meditation to steadily boost their status, thereby pushing the team into a situation.
Of course, there are other ways to counter this.
Baimu faced the smiling looks of the two on the opposite side silently while pulling out the Key Stone.
"Porygon II, Magic Space, Mawile... Super Evolution!"
In an instant.
With his low shout, Xiaofeng and Konan's pupils widened in surprise, as Mawile's body was enveloped by dazzling light, Mind Chains flew out and quickly connected, triggering significant changes in its physique.
Meanwhile, Porygon II, whose Ability Value was boosted by its Download Trait, quietly drove Attribute Energy, sending a streak of blue light underground.
Immediately, the light rapidly spread to the edge of the field, forming a strange, glimmering blue space, instantly illuminating the dim arena due to the starry sky ceiling.
"Magic Space..."
Brother Xiaofeng glanced around, feeling uneasy.
Solrock and Lunatone's advantage lies in using speed and special field equipment to confuse opponents; both are indispensable.
Which region's Pokémon are those?
Sister Konan fixed her gaze on the fully evolved Mega Mawile, nudging her brother beside her, "Look at that! That's more troublesome!"
She isn't seeing Super Evolution for the first time, but such a fiercely turbulent aura from Mawile...
Could it be used without completely mastering it for battles?
Konan looked at Baimu from afar, and the extremely calm expression on his face dispelled this unrealistic thought.
Haha.
Impossible, right?
But actually, she was right.
In just a few days, it's indeed impossible for Mawile to fully master Super Evolution; her control over new powers is far inferior to Aggron, causing the progress to be slow.
But at least she successfully maintained rationality, which is enough to handle the current Gym Battle, plus the real-world tension aids in progressing mastery of power.
Meanwhile.
Judging from the Species Value perspective, Solrock and Lunatone's speed isn't significantly faster than Mawile and Porygon II, making Magic Space a bit redundant.
However, based on Baimu's understanding, Xiaofeng and Konan have further nurtured the speed of Solrock and Lunatone due to special field conditions, hoping to rely on their speed and field familiarity to resist opponents.
Therefore, opening Magic Space is definitely worth it.
Indeed.
"Fly up!"
As Xiaofeng and Konan raised their Pokémon's floating height, wanting to mimic defending and meditating again, the fully evolved Mega Mawile struck.
"Iron Head!"
"Crick!"
Having two giant jaws lowered against the ground, Mega Mawile charged forward, its leg movements resembling shadows, causing a series of popping sounds from the field.
How can it move so fast!?
In the blink of an eye, trepidation flowed through Xiaofeng and Konan; with the silver light from its head as a starting point, Mega Mawile was already beneath Lunatone blocking Solrock.
"Block—"
Konan shouted as Mega Mawile transformed into dazzling silver bullets, attacking the recently raised honeycomb-shaped light shield!
At this moment.
A rotating earthy-yellow planet flew by, seemingly intent on colliding with Mega Mawile.
But before its bright silver surface, the planet couldn't even obstruct him for a second, shattering like foam.
Bang! Thunk!
The dull sound like glass trembling shook Lunatone's mind; it watched impotently as the shield before it cracked under Mega Mawile's head's impact and then abruptly shattered.
In an instant, panic arose uncontrollably.
The hard planet, along with the all-powerful Defending shield, was brutally cracked open!
Konan felt it keenly just like a trainer; knowing these planets are made of aerospace-grade material!
Xiaofeng and Konan exchanged a glance, fear visible in their eyes. They had never imagined a world where Pokémon could break the planet and then shatter the Defending light shield.
What attack power is this!
Beyond reason, right?
"Don't panic! Solrock, use Strong Mental Will to seize it!" Xiaofeng regained composure first and shouted while Solrock already understood its trainer's thought, leaping in front of the retreating Lunatone.
Only it seems to have forgotten Porygon II's presence.
"Signal Beam!"
"Zsh!"
A bright green beam was fired from Porygon II's tail, piercing through the air and smashing into Solrock's bluish eyes.
"Whiz—!!"
The Solrock let out an uncontrollable pain cry, almost falling from midair.
The guy showed more resilience than Baimu expected; a mere Signal Beam couldn't defeat it but effectively shielded the free-falling Mega Mawile post-action.
Close call.
