The Mega Mawile fiercely leapt up, colliding into the chest of the remaining Claydol like a missile, sending it flying and then, utilizing its Electromagnetic Levitation from nowhere, it swerved in mid-air, repeatedly crashing into other Baltoys like a lawnmower, causing them to flee in panic and disgrace.
Baimu watched silently as the Mega Mawile showcased its prowess, yet he wasn't surprised to witness this scene, as he was more concerned about another matter—
It seems the presence of the Mega Mawile was excessively prominent, making the previous Mossdeep Gym Leader twins and the just now Claydol seem to have forgotten it also had opponents.
This allowed Dragapult to smoothly find an opportunity to attack.
Does this count as a non-technique demonstration of "Spotlight", "Look at Me"?
More importantly, if the Mega Mawile's qualities can be utilized in a Gorgeous Competition, it would likely be very useful for raising the score of the first review.
Hmm...
One could say such a situation has arisen due to its frequent participation in the Gorgeous Competition, gradually becoming dazzling and captivating.
Upon stepping onto the "stage", it becomes the main character!
Thinking like this, attributing it to the effect of "Spotlight" wouldn't be incorrect.
The Mega Mawile, like a rampaging Tauros, dashed back and forth before finally returning in front of Baimu, slightly panting yet in good condition.
Real combat truly is the best experience teacher.
Since the last Gym Battle, Mega Mawile's control over Super Evolution has significantly improved, and once this Tower Ascent journey concludes, there will surely be results again.
"Let's go!"
Baimu couldn't dare to continue wasting time, firstly wanting to fully utilize the "object", secondly fearing changes when the sky darkens.
When dusk arrives, the night isn't far away.
The tenth level.
Upon stepping onto this level, he deliberately glanced above, discovering that apart from the tenth level there were only the eleventh and twelfth areas left. To ascend further, one must walk on the spiral long steps along the inner wall of the Pillar of the Sky, making it truly unclear how many steps there actually are due to the blur.
Anyways, it's very long.
Baimu didn't continue to pay attention, sweeping his gaze around the tenth level, suddenly discovering that the Mega Mawile, which was supposed to be to his right front side, was gone.
Is it an illusion?
He took a Universal Medicine Pill from his pocket and popped it into his mouth, the cool taste flooding his brain, yet it didn't provide him any relaxation, instead feeling like being punched by someone, causing pain.
Amidst the haze, a vague incantation seemed to whisper beside his ear, violet floated in front of him insufficiently, and his brain seemed to be gradually numbing.
Hit!
Baimu's muddled thoughts flashed across such an idea, following which he almost lost the ability to think.
Until the intense paralysis shot from his abdomen throughout his body, like a thousand needles simultaneously stabbing all over his body, causing him to cry out uncontrollably.
"Pain! It hurts!"
As the cry sounded, his vision blurred, violet light was replaced by vivid yellow light, his body involuntarily twitched, yet his brain gradually regained clarity.
Before him stood a peculiar Pokémon wearing a Wizard Hat, the latter like him, filled with a spiky yellow light, its eyes twinkling star-like, body twitching, apparently enduring the torment of Electric Techniques.
Mismagius!
What the heck! Isn't this Pokémon supposed to be unable to perform Hypnosis Techniques, depending on Special Ability to create illusions!?
His gaze shifted, quickly discovering Dragapult and Mega Mawile were also being shocked, clearly equally affected by Mismagius' illusions.
And neither could withstand it.
Resistance in terms of Spiritual Power needs improvement...
Wait.
Why hasn't it ended yet!? Though normal thought returned to his body, Baimu felt almost shocked to the point of incontinence, making him suspect if Porygon II used as a backup measure in the phone was settling old scores.
Fortunately.
Porygon II ultimately preserved his dignity.
"Beat it!"
Baimu shouted, and the equally electrically zapped Mega Mawile immediately lifted it up, spinning it quickly like a windmill for several circles before forcefully hurling it out.
Whoosh——
Mismagius turned into a meteor that vanished in the lower half of the Pillar of the Sky.
The Mega Mawile hesitantly looked down, originally thinking it nearly invincible post-super evolution; just now, its battle with Claydol proved this, capable of breaking free from the binding of Spiritual Power even without Dragapult's support.
Who knew, climbing another level led to such an immediate hit.
Prideful mentality is unwelcome.
The Mega Mawile silently contemplated, while Dragapult began to doubt its dragon life, even invisible and hidden could lead to hallucination, Ghost-type Pokémon could be hallucinated!
Could it still maintain face if spoken of?
One person and two Pokémon quietly digested everything that just happened, looked towards higher levels, hesitant to rush for now... Though night was imminent with dusk approaching, unless more vigilant, there might be more occurrences like just now.
Baimu took a deep breath, cautiously leading the two Pokémon to the eleventh level.
Same as the ninth level.
The Guardian Pokémon here awaited early in preparation.
It's Dusclops.
He stared in slight astonishment, waiting for the moment when Mega Mawile by him attempted to rush forward but shouted out, "Wait!"
A moment.
Dusclops raised its broad palms, a pitch-black hole emerged in its double palms, terrifying suction immediately emanating.
It's a fake "Black Hole"!
Boom!
The involuntarily airborne Baimu swiftly released Aggron, one hand grasping its tail while the other retrieved the invisible Dragapult back into its Pokeball.
As for Mega Mawile, it had already latched onto his pant leg, climbed all the way to his back.
Baimu exerted force to flip onto Aggron's back, relying on its exaggerated weight to somewhat resist Dusclops' Black Hole—
Though it's said so, in fact, the Black Hole created by Dusclops is the entrance to its internal space, once sucked in, hardly able to emerge.
Previously Furong's Dusknoir imprisoned the evil Ghost Pokémon using the gigantic mouth on its belly, deriving from Dusclops' Black Hole. The key is that in terms of grasping the suction power of the Black Hole, this Dusclops surpasses that of Furong's Dusknoir.
"Groar..."
Aggron emitted a low growl, indicating it was barely holding on too, its body involuntarily being sucked towards the Black Hole.
Judging by the light leaking through the rock crevices, dusk's sunset was about to usher in nightfall, Dusclops' Black Hole suction power might elevate another level.
Baimu licked his lips, locked eyes on Dusclops', briefly deliberating then shouted:
"Fight it! Prepare Double-bladed Head Hammer! Prepare Iron Head!"
"Groar!"
"Gwadurr!"
The two Pokémon responded loudly, though the profound and infinite Black Hole looked exceptionally terrifying, neither bore the slightest fear on its face.
Aggron gradually took heavy steps, an awe-inspiring momentum accompanying the rapid convergence of a tan glow.
For a brief moment.
Rock Attribute Energy transformed into a radiant light encircling its body, rendering its rough appearance similar to a giant Energy Rock, resonating like a massive Energy Bullet.
Upon its shoulder back, Mega Mawile's two massive jaws constantly spewed silver energy backward, seemingly venting while enhancing Aggron's forward momentum.
From afar, the Black Hole-wielding Dusclops' expression seemed altered, wishing to halt but unable, only intensifying the Black Hole suction, aiming to absorb all Aggron and Mega Mawile's energy completely—
At the next moment.
Baimu raised his hand like a cavalry commander, loudly shouted:
"Charge!"
"Roar!!"
Aggron lowered its physique like a rhinoceros, taking heavy steps towards Dusclops, the Black Hole's suction and the energy jet on its shoulder from Mega Mawile swiftly heightened its speed to a rather exaggerated extent.
Instantly, the tan Energy Bullet collided thunderously with the "Black Hole"!
White light exploded instantly, occupying every hue.
Under the gaze of countless Ghost Pokémon, an unprecedented Big Explosion occupied the entire space of the eleventh level, subsequently spreading to the mid-high tier regions of the entire Pillar of the Sky!
Rumble——!!
Shockwaves continually reverberated within the tower, causing the body of the Pillar of the Sky to tremble, akin to an earthquake.
Outside the tower, Xijana appeared shocked.
"This is..."
