As Blaine had whispered, Moltres' attack power was incredibly strong, but moves like Fire Blast were...
Although as a legendary Pokémon, Moltres didn't need much time to charge up this move, and the resulting attack was terrifyingly massive.
Just looking at the huge "大" shaped flame made it feel as if divine fire itself had descended from the heavens.
But no matter how large the attack was, its trajectory was extremely obvious.
Not to mention strong trainers like Eddie and Blaine—even an average trainer, seeing such an attack, could avoid it by hiding in the gaps within the "大" shaped flame pattern.
Of course, they would need to be fast enough, since Moltres' attack speed wasn't slow by any means.
However, this was far too easy for Blaine and Eddie. Whether it was their Charizards or Garchomp, they were all relatively fast Pokémon, and dodging such attacks was simple for them.
"Eddie, let's try attacking together first," Blaine suggested.
"Alright, let's attack from different directions simultaneously!" Eddie agreed.
"Charizard! Use Inferno!"
"Garchomp, Mega Charizard X, let's go!"
Blaine's Charizard took the lead, spewing raging flames at Moltres and surrounding it.
Although the manifestation of this move was very similar to Fire Spin, the difference in power between the two was enormous.
Not only that, but the range of this move was also quite large, enough to surround Moltres' massive body.
"Blaine! Are you stupid or something? You're using Fire-type attacks against Moltres? Are you trying to defeat me by making me laugh to death?" Sabrina sneered mockingly.
"Moltres, absorb those flames!"
Sabrina spoke with disdain, then had Moltres absorb all the flames that were nothing more than nourishment to it.
Yes, most of Moltres' body was composed of flames. It was a legendary Pokémon that controlled fire itself. Unless flames were strong enough to a certain degree, most of them were just supplements for it.
After absorbing flames, its own Fire-type power would increase, and any injuries would recover quickly.
That was why Sabrina had sneered and questioned whether Blaine was foolish.
"You little girl, I think you're the stupid one. You've been acting differently ever since Eddie arrived. No wonder people often say that those who fall in love become foolish," Blaine thought to himself.
He wasn't certain whether Sabrina had become foolish because of Eddie. Regardless, at this moment, she had indeed lost some of her judgment.
Furthermore, following his usual approach, Blaine couldn't say this out loud. Saying it aloud would have no effect other than angering her.
Yes, Blaine's attack had looked foolish, but he wasn't fighting alone anymore. The main attacker had switched to Eddie. His current attack was just a diversion to attract Moltres' attention.
"Sabrina! How has your judgment deteriorated so much in such a short time?"
While Moltres was absorbing the flames, Eddie—standing on Garchomp with Mega Charizard X beside him—suddenly broke through the flames surrounding Moltres and appeared before the legendary bird with incredible speed.
Eddie said this to Sabrina in a somewhat condescending manner. Although Eddie actually had some guesses in his heart as to why Sabrina was acting this way, it didn't stop him from teasing her.
"Eddie! You—"
"Watch out! Dragon Claw!"
Sabrina looked at Eddie's teasing expression and suddenly became furious. Just as she was about to say something harsh, Eddie interrupted her and ordered his Pokémon to attack Moltres.
"Moltres! Use Agility and dodge!"
Seeing that the opponent's attack was incoming, Sabrina made a quick decision and directly ordered Moltres to evade.
However, how could Eddie and Blaine's coordinated attack be so easy to dodge? Moreover, Eddie was already right in front of Moltres. No matter how fast the legendary bird reacted, it would have to take some damage!
"ROAAAAR!"
Garchomp and Mega Charizard X roared and displayed ferocious grins. Each Pokémon took charge of one side and struck down at Moltres' wings with their Dragon Claws.
At this moment, even if Moltres wanted to dodge, the Dragon Claws had already connected with its wings, breaking part of them and dispersing some of the flames covering its body.
Therefore, Moltres could only retreat at high speed while screaming in pain.
Moltres was shaking constantly because its wings had been struck. To avoid being thrown off, Sabrina gripped Moltres' feathers tightly and tumbled several times through the sky.
Just when Sabrina couldn't endure the spinning anymore, Moltres finally adjusted its body and slowly descended near the mouth of the volcano.
It needed to use the magma here to restore its injured wings.
Although it felt that it hadn't suffered much damage overall, part of its wings had indeed been destroyed, and it couldn't fly at full speed in this condition.
After Sabrina stabilized herself, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the fear she had felt while tumbling through the air gradually faded.
Even she had been frightened by that situation.
She had almost become the only trainer in history who, while riding a legendary Pokémon, was defeated because of serious injuries sustained from falling from a high altitude.
If such a ridiculous thing happened to her, she guaranteed she would never be able to face anyone again.
Thinking of this, Sabrina suddenly became furious. She raised her head and yelled at Eddie without thinking.
"Eddie! How dare you make me suffer such humiliation!"
"Humiliation? Uh, Sabrina, we're in a battle, right? What did I do that humiliated you?" Eddie had a puzzled expression on his face at Sabrina's outburst.
Come on, they were fighting right now. Eddie hadn't even attacked Sabrina personally, so why was she humiliated?
Sabrina was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and she clearly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with what she had just said.
But even though she had the temperament of a cold queen, she was still a woman at heart. She didn't want to admit defeat, so she skipped any attempt at justification and directly scolded Eddie.
"Hmph! Anyway, once Moltres recovers, I'll burn you to ashes!"
Although Sabrina spoke in an extremely cold tone, there was an inexplicable hint of childishness in her words.
Of course, she herself didn't seem to realize this, but Eddie and Blaine both picked up on it.
After she said this, the battlefield suddenly fell into a strange silence.
This strange silence made Sabrina feel inexplicably irritated and confused.
Just when Sabrina wondered if she had said something wrong again, Eddie and Blaine broke the silence.
Eddie: "...Nice."
Blaine: "Pfft! Pfft! I can't help it! Hahahaha!"
Looking at Sabrina's frosty expression as she spoke such childish words in an extremely cold tone...
Eddie was slightly captivated by this strong contrast, and then he gave a thumbs up to express his appreciation.
Blaine found Sabrina so amusing that he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
