After a flash of white light, a Wartortle appeared on the clearing beside the mountain path.
This Wartortle was huge, standing a full 1.4 meters tall, no less impressive than some underdeveloped Blastoise.
Its body was a light indigo color, with a pair of fluffy wing-like ears on its oval-shaped head, and a tail behind it that was just as cute as a Vulpix's.
"Wartortle, use Water Pulse!"
Wartortle rubbed its two claws together, and a rapidly rippling water ball quickly formed between them.
As it came into contact with the air, the water ball buzzed.
The move it used was a Water-type special skill, Water Pulse.
This skill had considerable power, and when it hit an opponent, there was a significant chance of causing confusion, a standard opening move for Water-type Pokémon.
Axel didn't rush to counterattack. Unhurriedly, he rummaged through his backpack to pull out a box.
By the time Water Pulse was nearing Gardevoir, Axel had already taken out the box and placed it in Gardevoir's hands.
"Use Teleport, get behind him and use Hypnosis."
"Garde~"
Gardevoir chuckled softly, perfectly cooperating with her trainer's shameless tactics.
'Hmph, trying to sneak a kiss from my trainer while I wasn't looking and not even wiping off the lip print?'
'From now on, I'll make you want to flee just from seeing my trainer!'
A flash of special psychic power flickered in Gardevoir's eyes, and the space around them instantly rippled.
By the time Little Blue reacted, Gardevoir was already standing between her and Wartortle.
Seeing the provocative look Gardevoir was giving, Little Blue felt like she was about to explode.
'The opponent's Pokémon can get in this close so easily?'
If this were a wild battle, she'd have already lost by now.
'Damn bastard, is this showing off your strength?'
'Unfortunately for you, today's battle is a tournament match!'
"Wartortle, use Aqua Tail! Smack that Gardevoir behind you away!"
Little Blue didn't believe that at such a close range, Gardevoir could still Teleport away in time.
Against agile opponents like Gardevoir, trading damage was the best choice.
But in the next moment, she was stunned.
Just as Wartortle's tail became enveloped in water and before it could swing, Gardevoir's finger was already touching the top of Wartortle's head.
A flash of red light passed, and Wartortle's once-battle-ready eyes immediately turned dazed.
'Mmm... I feel so sleepy...'
"Hey, wake up, Wartortle!"
"Even if you got hypnotized, don't fall asleep immediately, okay?"
Little Blue shook Wartortle's head with all her strength, trying to wake him up.
Wartortle shrank his body and simply retreated into his shell with a thump.
*Sleeping soundly~*
"Hey, get up already, don't be like this!"
"Arghhh, I'm so mad I could explode!"
As Little Blue kept shouting, Gardevoir's lips curved up slightly and she opened the box in her hands.
The Toxic Orb immediately appeared, falling with a free-fall motion and landing steadily inside Wartortle's shell.
Corroded by the toxic power, Wartortle's entire body turned purple.
Little Blue was completely dumbfounded.
'Who even uses a Toxic Orb like this?'
"Hey hey hey, ref, he's breaking the rules, isn't he?"
The referee blinked, "What rule did he break?"
Little Blue: "..."
'How should I know?'
"Gardevoir, use Calm Mind."
Axel issued instructions at the right time, cutting off Little Blue's train of thought.
Gardevoir gently closed her eyes, and an arcane aura began to radiate from her body.
Two upward-moving light rings flashed past, and both Gardevoir's Special Attack and Special Defense rose.
"Damn damn damn, you two are so bad!", Seeing Gardevoir continue to use a powerful buff move, Little Blue gritted her teeth hard.
"If you want to play dirty, then don't blame me for fighting back," Little Blue's right hand swept across her waist, instantly pulling out Wartortle's Pokéball.
"Come back, Wartortle!"
After a flash of white light from the recall, Little Blue puffed out her chest and winked playfully at Axel.
"Even though you won the match, this Toxic Orb is mine now!"
"Heh~", Axel sneered coldly.
From the first day he prepared this tactic, Axel had taught Gardevoir the move Knock Off.
More than half a month had passed, and it was finally ready to use.
"Gardevoir, use Knock Off!"
"Garde!"
Little Blue's smile instantly froze, but not from disappearing. Instead, it turned toward Gardevoir's face.
A rich black light shimmered in her hand, forming a small palm that slapped down hard onto Wartortle.
Clack~
With a sound, the Toxic Orb fell to the ground, dyeing the area beneath it purple.
At the same time, Wartortle returned to its Pokéball, and Gardevoir closed her eyes once more.
Second Calm Mind!
"Arghhh, I'm going to explode!"
Little Blue bit her teeth hard, wanting to pounce on the Gardevoir just a few steps away.
But after glancing at her petite body, she decisively chose to back down.
'So you like playing dirty tactics?'
'Little Blue will never give in!'
"Jigglypuff, go! Start off with Safeguard. Let's see how she hypnotizes you now."
Jigglypuff nodded, activating Safeguard and walking in front of Little Blue.
Little Blue made a vicious face at Axel and resumed giving commands.
"Jigglypuff, use Disarming Voice, break her Calm Mind!"
Jigglypuff blinked and tilted its body, letting out a cute cry.
Gardevoir sneered coldly, continuing her meditation.
'Cute? In the face of my trainer's handsomeness and affection, it's not worth a dime!'
After two Calm Minds, the energy within Gardevoir's body was already enormous.
With every move she made, the pink Fairy-type energy fluttered like real butterflies.
"Gardevoir, use Moonblast."
Gardevoir nodded and gently floated into the air. The entire mountain base instantly darkened.
The moon, which hadn't appeared until now, slowly rose with a soft white glow, hanging in the sky above Mt. Moon.
Compared to the Moonblast Gardevoir used before, this time's moon was terrifyingly huge.
Bright and radiant, people looked like ants under its light.
All the trainers at the foot of the mountain were stunned, their eyes all fixed on Gardevoir.
At first, they only thought Axel's Gardevoir had dyed her hair and didn't pay her much attention.
Such things weren't uncommon in the Pokémon world.
Some people even painted their Metagross to look like a shiny and pretended to be shiny Metagross trainers.
But now? Who was just dyeing their hair?
What kind of Gardevoir dyes her hair and can use such a massive Moonblast?
This is a straight-up Fairy Queen.
In front of Little Blue, Jigglypuff was completely dumbfounded.
It tilted its head and looked at its owner, who had already been scared silly.
'You said Safeguard would be enough to win?'
'And now you want me to fight that thing?'
