"Luxray, Electric Arena."
"Mysterious Guardian."
ZZZZZZ....
Centered around Luxray's position, dazzling currents spread everywhere, a golden film flowing with electricity covered the entire arena, engulfing Togetic as well.
Electric Arena, a field-type technique similar to Psychic Arena, not only enhances the power of Electric-type Pokémon's techniques on the field but also prevents any grounded Pokémon from falling asleep, making techniques like "Yawn" unusable.
This is why Denji chose Luxray.
In Natsuhiko's previous battles, Togetic always started with "Yawn," taking the initiative from the beginning, controlling the opponent's Pokémon so they couldn't act, easily securing victory.
Moreover, Togetic is very proficient with the "Yawn" technique.
Although it's unclear why there's proficiency with the "Yawn" technique, it's indeed something Denji fears the most.
So to counteract this, Denji chose the technique "Electric Arena" to curb Togetic and Natsuhiko's strategy while further enhancing Luxray's Electric-type techniques.
On the other side.
Togetic successfully executed the "Mysterious Guardian" blessing.
The most troublesome thing about Electric-type Pokémon is the "Paralysis" additional effect of their techniques. Once Togetic is paralyzed, it becomes very passive.
Therefore, Natsuhiko's first choice is to use "Mysterious Guardian" to prevent this from happening.
As for the limitation of Togetic's "Yawn" technique by the Electric Arena.
Natsuhiko could only say.
It's a good limitation.
To avoid Togetic being overly fixated on "Yawn," forgetting its main role.
Natsuhiko's previous tactical arrangements indeed played a bit of a misleading role.
But Denji's preparations didn't stop there.
With the Electric Arena spread out, Luxray suddenly lit up with some bright golden spots, and a large amount of fine currents burst from them, rushing through Luxray's body, enhancing its Defense Power.
Electric Seed.
A Pokémon item used in conjunction with "Electric Arena."
"Here it comes, Denji's Electric combo."
"Luxray in the Electric Arena is the strongest!"
"The opposing Togetic's 'Yawn' can't be used anymore!"
"..."
Those familiar with Denji seem to know this combo well, indicating it's Denji's signature strategy, showing his true power against Natsuhiko.
Each side first used a move to guard against the other's technique, then the real clash began.
"Luxray, Electric Light."
ZZZZZZ——
A thick woolly current covered Luxray's entire body, its limbs quickly charging towards Togetic.
Without the hindrance of the "Yawn" technique, Denji could let Luxray unleash attacks freely.
However, seeing the charging Luxray, a cunning look flashed in Togetic's eyes.
"Chako-eek—"
With arms bending, an invisible attack emitted from its body.
Divine Power!
Luxray crashed into Togetic's Divine Power, the "Celestial Grace" trait triggered, and the additional effect appeared, causing Luxray to fall into a "Wither" state.
But Luxray's full-speed impact didn't stop because of this, it barely halted in front of Togetic.
Seeing this, Natsuhiko frowned slightly.
This Luxray's willpower is strong.
Togetic is seeing this for the first time.
After all, in previous encounters with Wild Pokémon, as long as the additional effect was triggered, they would fall into "Wither" and be unable to act.
This is the difference between wild battles and Pokémon battles with a Trainer.
Trainers conduct special training on Pokémon's abilities, and no one knows if it includes willpower.
Fortunately, Luxray stopped.
But it also made Natsuhiko realize some of his own issues.
He was a bit too reliant on the abilities of the technique itself, neglecting deep training on Togetic in this aspect.
Discovering this now is also good, allowing Natsuhiko to more accurately plan Togetic's future training direction.
"Pull back, Coquettish."
Not taking the opportunity to attack, but choosing to let Togetic pull back a distance, ensuring safety before using the Coquettish technique.
Togetic shook its little head from afar, temporarily putting the unexpected event behind, and playfully blinked at Luxray, who was struggling to break free from the "Wither," showing a pitiful look.
Denji's expression turned a bit serious at this moment.
He hadn't expected Togetic to have the "Divine Power" technique.
This put him at a disadvantage.
Luxray was also weakened by "Coquettish."
But now, the arrow was on the string, it had to be launched, he couldn't retreat, as any retreat would give Togetic time to buffer, leaving Luxray with no opportunity for victory, always on the backfoot.
"Luxray, Mad Volt."
Luxray was once again enveloped in currents, but this time the currents were thicker, making the technique more powerful and faster.
ZZZZZZ——
Like a bright golden speeding car, it rushed towards Togetic.
"Chako-eek!"
Togetic used "Divine Power" again.
In terms of luck, Togetic had never lost to anyone, this time triggering the additional effect of "Sharp Fang."
