Drapion, Nidoran, and Mandibuzz are all Dark-type Pokémon.
But Alakazam's gaze activated the "Eye of Miracles", and Psychic-type Techniques could still inflict normal damage on Dark-type Pokémon.
The next few moments.
The first instant.
Alakazam and Drapion collided, "Mental Shock" clashed with "Flame Fang", Alakazam held firm on the ground with its psychic power, without moving a muscle, while Drapion staggered back.
The second instant.
Nidoran disregarded everything and shifted its target to Alakazam, continuing the attack.
The third instant.
A creamy white "Air Slash" hit the unyielding Nidoran, Togekiss triggered its "Celestial Grace" trait, the additional effect of "Air Slash" activated, causing Nidoran to enter a state of "Wither".
The fourth instant.
Beedrill launched its attack first, but only erupted with the offensive "Cross Cut" at the last moment, successfully hitting Nidoran, forcing its body, propelled by momentum, into the ground.
Insect-type Techniques counter Dark Attributes, compounded with Nidoran's defenselessness, Beedrill's blow with "Cross Cut" cost Nidoran most of its life.
Immediately, the fifth instant.
Beedrill seized the moment when Nidoran couldn't get up, completing the harvest with "Deadly Needle Stab".
The additional effect of "Deadly Needle Stab" activated. Beedrill's Attack Power surged once more.
All of this happened very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, a series of movements and attacks were completed.
Natsuhiko's coordination between these three Pokémon, along with the formation of Natsuhiko's defensive swap tactic centered around Alakazam, broke an opening in the opponent's encirclement.
Taking advantage of this tiny gap to expand it with a single blow.
The result: one down!
However.
The consequence was, Mandibuzz, who Natsuhiko prevented Beedrill from avoiding attacks, didn't stop, charging straight at Natsuhiko.
Two Hunters were protected by two Golbat, but from their perspective, Natsuhiko was defenseless.
An excellent chance for a surprise attack!
Screech!!!
Mandibuzz's eyes filled with malice.
In its eyes, Monferno and Eevee were nonexistent, and handling Natsuhiko, an ordinary Trainer, was an easy target?
Mandibuzz opened its mouth, a mass of dark energy rapidly taking shape in front of it, "Fluctuation of Evil" resembling a meandering snake.
Natsuhiko wasn't surprised by Mandibuzz's attack.
Because if it were him, he would also choose this most effective method to achieve victory.
Buzz!
But just as "Fluctuation of Evil" was about to strike Natsuhiko, Alakazam used "Instant Movement" again, appearing before him, spoons crossed, "Strong Mental Will" unleashed.
With the assistance of the "Eye of Miracles", Dark-type Techniques in Alakazam's view are no longer entirely unconquerable.
And.
When Alakazam performed "Strong Mental Will", Natsuhiko's palm was placed on its shoulder.
Their psychic powers quickly fused, boosting Alakazam's psychic power dramatically, repelling Mandibuzz's attack, while "Strong Mental Will" continued toward Mandibuzz.
Mandibuzz was obviously unprepared for this situation.
Just as it wanted to withstand the attack with techniques, Togekiss's attack arrived.
"Air Slash" again placed Mandibuzz in a passive state, causing another "Wither" condition.
Bang!!
Hit Mandibuzz solidly.
At the next moment.
Swish!
The darting Beedrill swiftly passed Mandibuzz's side, with the Dark-type's weakness and the Flying Type's resistance canceled each other out, Beedrill's Insect-type Techniques could still inflict enough damage on Mandibuzz.
"Deadly Needle Stab" completed yet another harvest.
Beedrill's Attack Power had already escalated to the extreme.
The second one!
Two Pokémon falling in succession.
Finally made the two Hunters realize the gap in strength between them and Natsuhiko.
A thought of retreating emerged.
But.
If they want to retreat now, they have to ask if Natsuhiko agrees.
Alakazam's "Instant Movement" was activated again, bringing Beedrill and Togekiss, including Natsuhiko, appearing between Drapion and Ariados.
Togekiss fired two "Air Slash" from different angles at Ariados.
No matter how agile its figure was, while bound by Alakazam's overwhelming psychic power, it could no longer evade Togekiss's attack.
"Air Slash" hit successfully, with an excellent effect.
Alakazam followed up with one last attack, completing the harvest.
Simultaneously, Beedrill, stacked with physical attack boosts, unquestionably suppressed Drapion completely, claiming victory was only a matter of breaths.
At this moment.
The two Hunters couldn't endure any longer.
What kind of fight is this?
Even though the two Golbat didn't act, they were the weakest among their Pokémon, capable or not, they wouldn't be able to turn the tide.
"Golbat, Ultrasound!"
"Golbat, Air Slash!"
The two simultaneously commanded the two Golbat to attack, attempting to provide a barrier to Natsuhiko and the three Pokémon.
Unscrupulously turning and fleeing, with no hesitation at all.
"Leaving?"
Natsuhiko waved his hand, Alakazam's psychic power blocked the attacks of the two Golbat, while Togekiss's "Air Slash" hit them.
Immediately, Alakazam's "Strong Mental Will" caused a significant effect.
The two were destined not to escape from Natsuhiko's determined grasp.
However.
