Just this?
The Lycanroc initiating the attack, seeing this scene, turned its already crimson eyes even redder.
Hunched over, dragging its hands on the ground, its hind legs sprinted fiercely, charging towards the Aegislash.
Quickly closing in front of the Aegislash, under its provocative gaze, it bared its menacing mouth to bite into the Aegislash.
Bang bang!
However.
Two bright white blades descending from the sky struck it precisely.
The Dark Energy wrapped around its open mouth quietly dissipated as its state became muddled.
Clang!
The Aegislash instantly switched forms, its blade unsheathing.
The "Holy Sword Slash" from bottom to top, directly lifted the Lycanroc into the air.
Then a touch of golden arc mixed with a shallow blue-green halo flashed by to finish the harvest.
When the Lycanroc dropped to the ground, it had already lost its fighting capability.
Before the Aegislash could express anything, its form, under the pull of psychic power, vanished from its original spot and intervened in another battle.
Everything that just happened, in merely two or three blinks of an eye, had a Gym Leader Level Night Form Lycanroc and two Elite Level Day Form Lycanrocs all fall to the ground.
With the further refinement of the "Unlimited Defense Swap" and "Pair Chess" systems, and clearer roles for each Pokémon, when a system with Alakazam at its core began to operate, it was like a highly precise instrument. Dealing with some inferior Pokémon, it really only took a few blinks to solve the problem.
Efficiency reached its maximum.
Although Lycanroc looks cool, its singular Rock Attribute leaves it with too many weaknesses, making it too easy to target.
The Lycanroc leader, who initially thought it could easily win with numbers, could not hold back after seeing its kin continuously falling with just brief contact.
After a long howl, it also joined the attack.
However.
Its involvement did not fully turn the tide of the battle as it expected.
Latios invoked "Tailwind," accelerating everyone.
The actions of the harvest became even more swift.
The charging Lycanroc leader was only halfway when a streak of an arc light swiftly brushed past its side.
Boom!!
The unhesitating "Cross Cut" swept it to the ground, the speed so fast that it was a bit overwhelming to respond.
Compared to the Day Form and the Dusk Form, the Night Form Lycanroc, though having stronger strike resistance, found speed to be its biggest weakness.
Facing Beedrill, which can already hold a significant position among Elite Candidate Level Pokémon solely through speed, it seemed insufficient.
Buzz—
Beedrill drew an arc in the air, then turned back, flying again towards Lycanroc.
This time, the Lycanroc leader noticed, with angry crimson eyes flickering, letting out a low growl, it crossed its arms in front of its chest without dodging.
With a slight tremor of its body, a dark red energy spread from bottom to top, enveloping its whole body.
Double Payback!
This was the combat style most favored by the Night Form Lycanroc.
However.
It, prepared and watching the rapidly approaching Beedrill, did not find it launching another attack as expected.
Instead, it directly brushed past it, under its watch.
In the brief exchange of sight, the Lycanroc leader even saw the mockery in Beedrill's eyes.
You think I will attack just because you want me to?
In the ear of the Lycanroc leader, besides the continuously jumping electric arc "sizzling" sound, there was also a grating, teeth-on-edge sound of the Double Needle rubbing together.
Sharpening!
Beedrill's next move, the chance to hit a critical spot will greatly increase.
A feint.
Having not launched an attack, forced the Lycanroc leader's "Double Payback" to be of no use.
Then Beedrill once more carved an arc in mid-air.
This time it took a deep breath, held it in, the crimson compound eyes now only focused on the Lycanroc leader.
The dark red "Leader Aura," silently emerged with its highly concentrated will.
"Roar——!!"
The Lycanroc leader, having been toyed with once, burst into fury, raising its fist and striking the ground hard.
Thud thud thud——!!
A series of stone pillars thicker and sharper than those previously released by the Lycanroc extended in Beedrill's direction.
The farther from the release center, the bigger the stone pillars became.
Sharp Stone Attack!
This time.
Beedrill had no intention of dodging, meeting the stone pillars head-on, raising its crossed Double Needle in response.
Stone pillars, like fragile tofu.
Shattered at a touch.
In a mere instant, Beedrill, to the disbelief in the eyes of the Lycanroc leader, appeared right in front of it.
Bam!
An overhead strike.
Directly sent the Lycanroc leader spinning several times in the air before finally landing.
Yet it hadn't even caught a breath.
The attack followed immediately.
A blue missile with special waves released by Togekiss, struck it with precision and cunning.
Although there was no additional effect, none was needed.
After taking two hits from Beedrill with full attack boost, the second one even hitting a critical spot, triggering its "Sniper" trait.
The Lycanroc leader was already struggling to hold on.
And Togekiss's "Wave Missile" successfully finished it off.
As the Lycanroc leader fell, those numerous yet barely threatening Lycanrocs swiftly fell one by one under the precise cooperation of Natsuhiko's Pokémon.
