Even if other Togekiss awaken the Fairy-type attribute, they probably can't learn the technique "Power of the Moon."
The reason Togekiss can, is only with the help of "Zerunias' Horn".
Morden slowly exhaled.
The pressure came to his side.
Though.
His original opinion was that he wasn't going to win, and he didn't really care to win—wouldn't it be nice to finish the fight and go take a nap?
But it didn't mean he liked losing embarrassingly badly.
Now.
He had already lost two Pokémon, but Natsuhiko's Togekiss and Eevee didn't seem to be visibly injured, and they were still in good condition.
Natsuhiko also had to admit.
In real battles, the role "Takeover" can play is indeed greater.
Not only can it be used to pass on ability boosts, it can be used to evade some troublesome techniques, and even after using "Takeover" and returning to the Pokeball, it can restore the Pokémon's condition slightly.
Take Togekiss for example.
The recovery from the previous "Wither" state left it a bit dazed.
But when it came out again, it was full of spirit.
These are incomparable to the rigid numerical calculations of games.
Morden pondered slightly.
Threw out the Pokeball.
"Morden's third Pokémon, it is — Honchkrow!"
With sleek dark glossy feathers, a top hat representing a gentleman, Honchkrow displayed its noble demeanor.
"Honchkrow..."
Numerous tactics involving annoying crows flashed through Natsuhiko's mind, finally resting on one.
This time, Morden changed the Pokémon quickly, not giving Natsuhiko a chance to strengthen Togekiss during the intervals.
And once Honchkrow was summoned, his eyes changed.
They became serious.
"Honchkrow, Tailwind."
Starting with "Tailwind" was a very standard and practical opening move.
Creamy white air currents instantly surrounded it.
"Togekiss, Trick."
"Chakoyi~~"
Togekiss's eyes again gleamed with a sly black light.
"Natsuhiko chooses to strengthen again! Togekiss's second 'Trick'. Now Togekiss's Special Attack is at a terrifying level! Can Morden's Honchkrow withstand it?!" The host keeps the entire crowd's excitement flowing.
"Honchkrow, Wing Attack!"
Immediately after, Morden directly chose to attack.
Seeing this.
Honchkrow's extended wings were instantly enveloped in a bright white light, flapping at extremely high speed.
Closing in on Togekiss.
"Coquettish."
Natsuhiko slowly furrowed his brow, glancing at the serious-looking Morden opposite him.
"Chakoyi~~"
Togekiss displayed a "pitiful and lovable" look, its glistening tears swirling in its eyes, pursing its mouth, inviting sympathy.
This pitiable stance.
Suddenly bewildered Honchkrow, known for its "gentleman" reputation.
The momentum and enthusiasm for the attack were instantly doused by more than half, its Physical Attack plummeting.
Seeing it taking effect, Togekiss immediately revealed a sly satisfaction.
However, before it could rejoice, Natsuhiko's voice sounded in its mind.
"Don't be too happy, this Honchkrow isn't sent out to defeat you!"
"Chakoyi?"
If it wasn't sent to defeat it, then what was its role?
The next second.
It understood.
Although Honchkrow was affected by Togekiss's "Coquettish", Morden still didn't have Honchkrow withdraw and reconsider.
"Honchkrow, Black Mist!"
Indeed!
Natsuhiko thought quietly.
If "Takeover" tactics are most annoyed by Scattering Rock, Scattering Nails kind of slow grinding tactics.
Then the biggest fear is a technique like "Black Mist".
It doesn't do any damage, its only role is to nullify all modifications of abilities, accuracy, and evasion rates for any Pokémon enveloped by the black mist.
With this.
The accumulated ability boosts from repeated "Takeovers" would all go to waste.
Morden sent Honchkrow out to neutralize the current boosts of Togekiss.
So even if Togekiss used "Trick" a second time, Morden did not stop.
Though Honchkrow was influenced by "Coquettish," Morden did not pause.
Then.
Honchkrow shook its wings, shedding snow white, glistening ice crystal dust, which turned black after leaving Honchkrow.
In no time, the vast black mist quickly spread with Honchkrow as the center.
Unfortunately.
Togekiss had pulled away and was not affected by the black mist.
Why?
Because Natsuhiko understood too well.
He had played so many battle games.
And he had played the Takeover team quite a few times.
But whenever he was seen through by the opponent, and they sent out an annoying little crow, the black mist could break his long connection of 100 years in minutes.
This round.
This round was truly a prediction brought about by Natsuhiko's years of gaming experience.
Plus, Morden's Honchkrow didn't have the "Prankster's Heart" trait, causing a slower release speed.
"Natsuhiko's choice was too wise! Facing Honchkrow with severely reduced attack, he didn't choose to counterattack, but to retreat! Could it be he predicted Honchkrow's 'Black Mist'?"
The host exaggeratedly and continuously praised this judgment.
"No wonder he is Mr. Natsuhiko, the 'Tactical Master.' His understanding of Pokémon tactics and basic knowledge is indeed extensive! If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't know that a Pokémon like Honchkrow could learn a rare technique like 'Black Mist,' right?"
