The deeper the mutual harm, the more genuine the friendship becomes.
"Roar——!!"
Gyarados roared at the sky, inside Lance's heart, it felt it.
The momentum surged wildly, and the huge swinging tail slammed the ground of the arena into fragments.
However.
Such a spectacular scene that should have attracted more attention from the audience was surprisingly lacking in focus.
Because at this moment.
Everyone was stunned, staring at Natsuhiko standing opposite Lance, and Togekiss flying before the terrifying Gyarados without a hint of timidity.
Mouths agape.
They all found themselves unable to utter a single sound.
Only to see.
A faint light blue aura appeared in Natsuhiko's eyes, and his body was enveloped in a thin layer as well.
In response, Togekiss's round eyes were also glimmering with a similar aura.
"Super, superpower?!" Even the professional host was shocked, losing composure.
Wow!!!
Superpower User!!
"Contestant Natsuhiko, Tactical Master, is surprisingly a superpower user?!"
This...
The audience originally thought this competition had only one superpower user, Jade Liya.
Unexpectedly, since the group stage, Natsuhiko who never showed any anomalies, revealed excellent superpowers at this moment!
He and Poksky were communicating via telepathy!
In order to show respect to Lance, Natsuhiko, for the first time, revealed his superpowers to everyone.
His act was merely a declaration.
This battle.
Full force!
And facing Gyarados's potent "Dragon Dance," Togekiss playfully smiled, while a faint blue aura appeared in its eyes, with traces of black glow.
Strategy!
Isn't it just a buff stacking technique?
Who wouldn't?
Does telepathic command with high momentum between Natsuhiko and Togekiss work for a Pokémon of this compatibility?
It works!
Togekiss had just evolved, having low mastery over techniques and unfamiliarity with its evolved body. The telepathic communication and connection between Natsuhiko and it could significantly mitigate the effects of these shortcomings.
Moreover, facing an opponent like Lance with such strength, relying on momentum and routine tactics was evidently insufficient.
On-the-spot command and change of tactics are extremely important.
On the opposite side, seeing Natsuhiko using even superpowers, Lance not only wasn't surprised or shocked, but instead felt more excited.
Finally, you came.
Full force Natsuhiko!
"Gyarados, Frozen Fang!"
Lance waved his arm, stirring the dark red cape behind.
Leaping into the air, Gyarados's massive body surprisingly appeared agile at this moment, with its terrifying mouth coated in gleaming ice crystals, biting hard towards Togekiss's location.
Yet the very next second.
Whoosh——
Togekiss's body glimmering with a sprinkling of white light, activated the "Divine Speed" technique, seemingly effortlessly dodging Gyarados's attack.
Darn!
Lance felt a pang in his heart.
However, Togekiss appearing behind Gyarados didn't use the "Air Slash" Lance had guessed.
"Chaco yi——"
Togekiss's round and cute face displayed mischievousness.
"Air Slash" was too unfamiliar; it had a more proficient move.
Natsuhiko's mouth gently curled up.
Want me to use my full strength?
Then let me show you Togekiss's full force—what it's like.
Ever heard of a technique descending from the heavens... pfft, technique?
Only to see.
Of the three feathers atop Togekiss's head, two gently swaying, a peculiar rhythm emanating.
This is...
Waving Finger!
Crackle...
After Togekiss used the technique, its body appeared with fine, fluffy electric currents.
100,000 Volts!
"Roar!!!"
Gyarados, having just landed, didn't have time to turn around and was given an intense full-body massage by the mad gold currents.
Using "Waving Finger" and out comes the electric-type techniques most restraining to Gyarados?
Gyarados: Someone's cheating; its "Waving Finger" is a directed technique.
