Boom!
The "大" shaped flames collided violently with Corviknight mid-air!
A fiery flower bloomed with a deafening roar, smoke covering nearly half the sky!
A look of joy flashed across the opponent's face, but it quickly fell because within the smoke, a vivid green glow was extremely conspicuous.
Sure enough, in less than a second, Corviknight burst through the smoke and landed swiftly right in front of Clefable!
No.. it slammed down in front of it!
Its massive form cast a great shadow, its sharp claws abruptly grabbing Clefable's wings and hauling it into the sky!
"Sky Drop? No! Use Thunderbolt, quick!"
The opponent initially thought Corviknight would use Sky Drop, pinning Clefable down, but that wasn't the case at all!
The Clefable in the sky didn't dare hesitate, electricity quickly crackling across its body!
At the same time, accompanied by a sharp whistle, Corviknight violently threw Clefable upwards! Then, as if swinging a baseball bat, it let its large wing be enveloped in a silver glow and swung down with all its might!
Steel Wing!
Thump!
A dull thud echoed, followed by the sound of crackling electricity!
Before Clefable could unleash Thunderbolt, Corviknight smacked it down to the ground!
It was super effective!
"Cleffa!"
Clefable crashed to the ground, a pained expression on its face, but it quickly staggered to its feet.
The opponent rushed to its side, quickly assessed its injuries, and decisively returned it to its PokéBall.
It was clear Clefable was no match for Corviknight; it was far inferior in agility. They had to think of another way!
After a brief two-second thought, she sent out a cute Pokémon that looked like candy and pastries, with a dog-like face and a light red tongue lolling out.
—The sixth-generation Fairy-type, Slurpuff with the Unburden ability.
The moment it landed, it swallowed a Berry it was holding, triggering its ability.
"Beep!"
The whistle blew sharply.
Corviknight, high in the sky, let out a loud cry, twisted its body, and dove down towards Slurpuff again!
But unlike before, this time its entire body was wrapped in a strange, silvery aura, like a shining comet!
Heavy Slam!
The greater the weight difference, the higher the power!
The weight ratio between Slurpuff and Corviknight would maximize Heavy Slam's power!
"Caww!"
Thud!
It was as if a ten-thousand-ton boulder had crashed down from the sky, a terrifying shockwave spreading outwards!
However, the opponent wasn't foolish enough to just stand there and take the hit. Unable to dodge in time, Slurpuff decisively used Protect, blocking this maximally-powered Heavy Slam.
Moreover, it rapidly retreated backward, trying to put distance between itself and Corviknight.
But Corviknight clearly had no intention of letting it go that easily. After landing, its sharp claws pushed off the ground hard, and its large body immediately charged after Slurpuff!
A silver glow shone brightly on its forehead!
"Cotton Guard!"
Slurpuff couldn't dodge this charge. Left with no choice, it rapidly inflated its belly, enlarging several times like cotton candy, meeting Corviknight's Iron Head head-on!
Bang!
A sound like a hot-air balloon being hit rang out!
Slurpuff's body lifted off the ground, sent flying backward!
Li Xiang frowned slightly. Cotton Guard's effect was to greatly raise Defense; he hadn't expected Slurpuff to use it like this.
"Beep!" (Use Protect and chase it!)
"Caww!"
Corviknight cried out loudly, quickly leaped up from the ground, flapped its wings, and pursued Slurpuff!
"Flamethrower!"
Slurpuff's back hit the wire mesh fence at the edge of the field, but it bounced back quite nimbly. Facing the relentlessly pursuing Corviknight, it decisively opened its mouth and spewed a crimson blaze!
The flames roared!
Boom!
The fierce fire collided with Corviknight's shield, failing to have any effect whatsoever!
'What an exaggerated reaction speed!'
Seeing one attack fail, Slurpuff quickly ran to the side. But even with the Unburden ability active, its speed wasn't much greater than Corviknight's!
The Tailwind boost for Corviknight was too terrifying; it simply couldn't create much distance!
It had to lower its speed, even if it meant sacrificing Slurpuff!
The opponent gritted her teeth. Seeing Corviknight getting closer and closer to Slurpuff, she shouted, "Cotton Spore!"
Slurpuff didn't hesitate at all. It decisively stopped moving, opened its cute mouth, and spat a large amount of snow-white cotton towards the approaching Corviknight!
Corviknight had already reached Slurpuff. Even with excellent body control, it couldn't dodge such dense cotton and could only brace itself and charge forward with Iron Head!
Thump!
Slurpuff was sent flying for the second time. Two consecutive Iron Heads, even with Cotton Guard as a buffer, were hard for it to withstand.
Its back made intimate contact with the edge fence once again!
"Urgh!"
The cute little creature whimpered, its eyes rolling back as it fainted.
Even without using Bulk Up to raise its Attack, Corviknight's output was nothing to scoff at. A Pokémon like Slurpuff simply couldn't withstand it. However, those fine, soft white spores had indeed stuck all over Corviknight's body.
Its movements became noticeably stiffer, even its wings couldn't stretch out fully and flexibly. It seemed the joints were glued up.
This stuff was hard to remove. Li Xiang knew that unless it was a Fire-type Pokémon, there wasn't much that could be done about these spores.
Brave Bird's flames couldn't burn them off either. The only option might be to recall it.
As he was thinking this, the opponent had already swapped out the fainted Slurpuff and hastily sent out Clefable again!
"Thunderbolt!"
So-called striking while the iron is hot, she was truly afraid Li Xiang would recall Corviknight and didn't dare give any opportunity.
Bright yellow electricity crackled in the air, transforming into a roaring thunder dragon charging at Corviknight!
"Beep!"
Interfered with by the sticky cotton, its speed reduced, Corviknight didn't dodge or flee. Instead, like a Dodrio, it ran charging towards Clefable!
Simultaneously, a green shield unfolded in front of it!
The thunder dragon crashed against the shield, dissipating into nothingness!
'Protect again!'
But it didn't matter; the plan was to force it out anyway!
"Fire Blast!"
The opponent gritted her teeth. Cotton Spore had already reduced Corviknight's speed and temporarily sealed its flying ability! She refused to believe Corviknight could still be that agile!
Clefable raised its finger high and slashed it through the air in front of itself!
A giant character-shaped flame shot towards Corviknight!
Boom!
A direct hit!
Corviknight, actively advancing, couldn't dodge in time and was struck by the super-effective Fire Blast!
"Yes!"
The opponent pumped her fist hard. For her, who had struggled to land any effective hits, this was undoubtedly great news.
Not far away, flames and smoke covered Corviknight's body, but they also burned away the cotton spores on its surface. Its speed wouldn't return to normal because of this, but its movements were no longer restricted.
It could return to the air!
However, before that….
"Beep!"
Hidden within the smoke, Corviknight quickly used Roost.
Pure white light feathers descended from the sky, rapidly restoring the HP it had lost from Fire Blast.
Thanks to its superb physical and special defense, that super-effective, non-STAB Fire Blast hadn't put its HP in a dangerous state.
Outside the smoke.
Seeing the light emanating from within, the opponent knew things were bad and quickly ordered Clefable to use Thunderbolt again!
The thunder dragon roared!
Terrifying electric currents instantly pierced through the smoke, pushing it aside and revealing Corviknight, which had just finished Roosting and was taking off into the sky!
'A close call!'
Corviknight had taken flight just one step earlier. At first glance, it seemed as if its movements were faster than lightning!
"You've got to be kidding me!"
The opponent was dumbfounded, then realized it was her misconception!
"Gravity!"
Having just used Thunderbolt and panting slightly, Clefable didn't dare hesitate and decisively activated Gravity.
On the field, an intense pressure descended. The air above three meters became like an impenetrable wall, impossible to ascend!
Corviknight, which had just taken off, was inevitably smashed back down to the ground!
"Thunderbolt!"
The same Electric-type move again!
And again, Protect blocked it.
Reckless skill usage, every move an all-out output, plus Gravity affecting the entire field, caused Clefable's condition to deteriorate rapidly.
The opponent saw this and felt anxious, but there was no other way. They couldn't give Corviknight any chance to react.
Fortunately, Gravity was active.
For a Pokémon of Corviknight's size, it basically meant losing the power of flight—
'Nani!'
The opponent stared in disbelief at Corviknight, which was flying almost skimming the ground yet still moving with ease.
Was this even reasonable?
"Caww!"
Corviknight let out an invisible taunt towards Clefable, along with a fierce charge. Its head was wrapped in a silver aura, emitting a strange shriek in the air!
Clefable, having just finished its stationary attack, couldn't possibly dodge and was immediately struck by Corviknight!
Thump!
A dull thud!
But Clefable wasn't sent flying; it had actually grabbed onto Corviknight's head tightly!
It was launching a suicidal attack!
"Thunderbolt!"
The opponent shouted, her expression actually showing a hint of tragic determination.
"Caww!"
With its vision blocked, Corviknight cried out, its face full of ferocity. The opponent was pressed right against it; using Protect might not block it.
Might as well—
Silver light flashed brilliantly!
A mercury-like luster shone, emerging from Corviknight's head!
It intended to slam this guy into the perimeter wire mesh fence before Clefable could release its move!
Both sides had chosen the same approach simultaneously! It was a fight to the death!
Thunder crackled violently! Then came the explosive sound of a heavy object crashing into the wire mesh fence!
The students watching nearby scattered and fled, not daring to stay put!
Subsequently, they saw the wire mesh fence get torn open with a large hole! A black figure, tangled with a pink one, crashed outside the field!
'They even smashed through the safety barrier!'
The watching students looked in astonishment at Corviknight and Clefable, which sped across the grass, plowing a long furrow.
This fence, which looked like wire mesh, wasn't something that could be easily shattered. It could bend, it could sag, but it was rarely broken through.
Even Fire-type moves roasting it wouldn't melt it quickly.
But this high-quality wire mesh had actually been broken through by Corviknight!?
It showed just how terrifying that earlier Iron Head was!
