Brawly's Medicham was small — almost a size below normal growth.
But though its body looked slight, its lean frame rippled with compact muscle, honed through constant training. Combined with its ability, Pure Power, that wiry body could unleash force enough to split stone.
Yet Medicham's most striking feature was its head: nearly one and a half times larger than usual, so much that its proportions looked unbalanced. At first glance, it resembled a bobble-headed doll.
But no one who saw it would dare laugh. This was a Pokémon of terrifying psychic might.
Its entrance wasn't flashy like Poliwrath's, but it radiated awe all the same. Floating cross-legged in the air, hands pressed together, its blue psychic barrier shimmered around it. Waves of psionic energy pulsed outward like ripples in water.
The pressure was immediate — the entire crowd felt as though their heads were weighed down, a crushing psychic gravity.
"What immense psychic power… This Medicham may be malformed, but it's been gifted with extraordinary talent. These waves of mental force are no less intense than that Alakazam I released."
Sato had seen battle footage of this Medicham before, but experiencing its aura in person still left him shaken.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel pity. Medicham's base stats in Attack and Special Attack were both a mere 60. For a Psychic-type with talent this great, it was a cruel handicap.

"Medicham, Psychic! Pin down Beautifly."
No theatrics this time — the moment the referee gave the signal, Brawly ordered a direct engagement.
At once, Medicham's blue-lit eyes snapped open. Pointing at the Shiny Beautifly, a crushing wave of psionic force erupted outward.
In an instant, a blue aura seized Beautifly midair, freezing its body in place.
But Beautifly had already danced twice with Quiver Dance. Its special defenses were bolstered high. Straining, it resisted — Medicham's grip faltered, unable to lock it down completely.
"Use Bug Buzz!"
Sato didn't hesitate. Before Medicham could close its grip, he gave the counter-command.
Beautifly's body could barely move, but its voice was free. A shrill, piercing buzz erupted from its proboscis, imbued with Bug-type energy — the natural bane of Psychic power.
The blue bind cracked apart almost instantly.
And Bug Buzz was not just disruptive — as a sound-based attack, its wide range and piercing effect made Medicham's psychic barrier useless.
The harsh vibrations tore into Medicham's mind, shattering its focus. Wincing, it abandoned the hold and pulled back, distancing itself from Beautifly.
Freed, the Shiny Beautifly immediately resumed its aerial dance. A glow of power surged across its body as a third Quiver Dance took hold.
With speed heightened yet again, its wings snapped wide. Its form blurred into a streak of afterimages, reappearing behind Medicham in a flash.
This time it didn't wait for orders. It unleashed Air Cutter.
A white blade of compressed wind, five meters across, streaked toward Medicham's back.
But Medicham's psychic awareness encompassed everything within a hundred meters. The moment Beautifly twitched, it sensed the attack. With a flick to the side, it narrowly evaded the strike.
"Now! Swagger!"
Seeing the dodge and the short distance — less than ten meters — Brawly barked his order.
"Pull back — and scatter Air Cutter!"
At the same time, Sato's eyes flashed blue. Through telepathic warning, he alerted Beautifly.
The Shiny Beautifly obeyed without hesitation, wings snapping, widening the gap in an instant.
When Medicham turned to unleash Swagger, Beautifly was already outside its range. Instead, countless white blades of wind closed in — the scattered wave of Air Cutter.
The barrage left no space to dodge, hemming Medicham in completely.
"Meet it with Psycho Cut, wide spread!"
Brawly's expression darkened. Something felt wrong — he was being led, step by step, into the opponent's pace. But there was no time to reflect. He had to respond.
Medicham's eyes blazed, both hands slicing forward. Dozens of blue psychic blades formed in the air, matching the swarm of wind blades one for one.
"The battle ends here. Once Medicham is blasted out — finish it with another Air Cutter."
Sato smiled faintly, eyes flashing as he sent his command telepathically once more.
Medicham's Psycho Cut was no ordinary move — bolstered by Pure Power, its physical strength was doubled, making those psychic blades tremendously potent.
(With Pure Power, Medicham's base Attack of 60 was effectively doubled to 120. That power, combined with a STAB move like Psycho Cut at 70 base power, gave it significant striking force.)
But Beautifly's Special Attack was naturally immense — a base 150. With three Quiver Dances stacked, its offensive output had reached an overwhelming peak.
Even though Air Cutter was only 60 base power, the sheer amplified damage made its onslaught devastating.
Thus, under Brawly's shocked gaze and Sato's calm one, the storm of white wind blades shredded through Medicham's psychic blades as though they were paper, engulfing the Psychic-type completely.
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!
Explosions rattled the air as energy clashed.
A battered Medicham was hurled from the smoke, its body torn by countless cuts.
And before it could even recover — an enormous Air Cutter, eight meters wide, split the lingering smoke and slammed into its midair form with crushing force.
