When luck is good, you can control it, immediately seize the opportunity to continuously use "Divine Power," but when luck is bad, Magmar's attack will also make Togetic pay the corresponding price.
The ever-effective control ability suffered a setback for the first time in front of the emotionally-stirred Magmar.
The battle between both sides reached a stalemate.
Togetic relied on "Dawn" to barely sustain, but the opposing Magmar seemed to be using a "Blood Lock Hang," holding on with forceful determination not to fall, and the less energy it had, the more courageously it fought, assuming the posture of a trait it doesn't have, yet acting as if it activated the "Fierce Fire" trait.
The excited Da Ye had too great an influence on his Pokémon.
But Natsuhiko still stood calmly in place.
He was waiting.
Waiting...
As the vision slightly dimmed, the duration of the Sunny Day ended.
Natsuhiko knew the opportunity had come.
"Togetic, Prayer."
Togetic unhesitatingly cast "Prayer" immediately, but consequently suffered some damage, not lethal, but enough to make it squint in pain.
And after Togetic performed "Prayer," Natsuhiko decisively retrieved it with a Pokeball.
"You did well."
Simultaneously throwing another Pokeball.
"Buzz-buzzz!"
It was Beedrill who appeared!
Seeing Beedrill come out, Da Ye became even more excited.
"Insect-type Beedrill, Magmar, use Overheat for the final attack, let it burn!"
The Insect-type and Poison-type Beedrill is undoubtedly countered by the Fire-type Magmar.
And Da Ye also knows Magmar isn't in good condition, so he used "Overheat," which is nearly equivalent to the final technique.
Overheat: Is a Fire-type technique with a power of up to 130 points, extremely destructive, but the drawback is that due to excessive heat release, the Pokémon's Special Attack ability decreases greatly.
Magmar relies on Special Attack for fighting, decreasing Special Attack ability is undoubtedly self-detrimental.
But if this Magmar can't hold on much longer, this Overheat move would definitely cause Beedrill incredible damage, even knockout might occur.
Magmar's flames, constantly burning on its body, at this moment ushered in an apocalyptic explosion.
The non-reserved Magmar ignited most of the heat within its body, bringing terrifying high-temperature flames, sweeping towards Beedrill like a tsunami.
But both Natsuhiko and Beedrill showed no signs of hesitation.
Beedrill didn't even need Natsuhiko's command to know what to do as it came on stage.
Buzz——
Flapping wings, threads of filamentous lightning left golden arcs behind it, rushing like a bolt.
Facing Magmar's "Overheat" sweeping attack, Beedrill's compound eyes flickered, fearless, charging straight into it.
"It charged in!! Natsuhiko's Beedrill actually charged straight into Magmar's 'Overheat' technique."
Wow——
The audience in the stadium was astonished.
The spectators knew that as an Insect-type Pokémon, Beedrill facing Magmar's final attack should not choose to do this, it shouldn't be summoned at this point, Togetic should have been kept to exhaust the opponent till they were done.
Oh, not everyone knew Beedrill was an Insect-type Pokémon.
...
"Charge! Beedrill, show them the might of Electric-type Pokémon!" Ash Ketchum was particularly excited.
Gary Oak gently covered his face, discreetly distanced himself slightly from Ash Ketchum.
Nanami tightly clenched her hands, silently cheering for Beedrill.
Only Professor Oak, maintaining his smile, naturally saw Natsuhiko's intention in doing so.
...
"It's the first time seeing Senior Natsuhiko fighting so intensely." Kona said, feeling new and curious.
"In terms of stats, Natsuhiko is certainly less than Da Ye. Therefore, he could only choose such an aggressive approach, but it's indeed rare." Lance agreed, nodding.
"Hmph!"
Upon hearing Lance reply, Kona directly turned away.
Lance's smile momentarily froze, but was gradually accustomed to it.
"The timing of 'Prayer' was well chosen."
Hilona revealed Natsuhiko's reason for choosing this.
...
Indeed.
The key lies in the "Prayer" cast by Togetic before its exit.
Also the reason why many of Natsuhiko's friends watching weren't as tense as the audience.
Next second.
Beedrill charged out of the "Overheat" unleashed by Magmar, even carrying sparks of flames.
But these flames quickly vanished among spontaneously appearing white points of light, with the injuries on Beedrill healing at a visibly rapid pace.
"It's 'Prayer'! The 'Prayer' cast by Togetic was perfectly received on Beedrill, compensating for the damage it took!" The commentator passionately narrated.
Beedrill rushed to the front of Magmar, its crimson compound eyes reflected the flames on its body, the long needle in its hand enshrouded in a rich Insect Energy, piercing forward.
Deadly Needle Stab!
Boom!
Already barely holding on, Magmar fell in response to Beedrill's move.
Standing above Magmar, Beedrill successfully triggered the additional effect of "Deadly Needle Stab," greatly increasing Attack Power!
Everything Togetic set up was for this moment!
On paper, Da Ye's stats are stronger than Natsuhiko's, it's undeniable.
Trying to bridge this gap, Natsuhiko actually has a way, as long as Beedrill undergoes Mega Evolution, it can counter any Gym Leader Level Pokémon.
