Xiahunao and Guagua’s Hydro Pump, though roared to hit Charizard, as Charizard raised its hands in readiness, the water shuriken fluttered past Charizard and precisely struck Voided, who was watching from the side.
Voided’s attributes were already at a disadvantage, and even with excellent special defense, it couldn't withstand a five-hit critical strike, especially after its previous encounter with Magearna.
Voided was hit on the head by the flying water shuriken, wiggled twice, and then collapsed. Xiahunao clenched his fist: "Beautiful! Now only Charizard is left. Come on, let me see how capable your Charizard is!"
Voided’s trainer recalled his Pokémon, and his teammate pulled out a bracelet from his pocket and put it on his hand: "Then let's go, Charizard."
If it were a normal disarming strike, Xiahunao would have let it happen. Even if you disarmed both swords, Guagua’s Hydro Pump had full PP, thirty-two PP, and a lot was still unused. But Charizard used Thunder Punch for its disarming strike this time. It wouldn't be pleasant to receive it with crackling jolts.
Xiahunao immediately let go, abandoning the shuriken. Guagua, in mid-air, had no choice but to fall to the ground, then rolled to escape Charizard’s attack range. Charizard’s disarming strike interrupted Xiahunao’s attack and pursued the advantage. While Guagua was still on the ground and hadn't gotten up, it slammed down another Dragon Claw.
Xiahunao counted the opponent's moves with his fingers: "Flamethrower, Thunder Punch, Seismic Toss, Dragon Claw. That should be all four moves. No other variables."
With this thought, Xiahunao created distance again after Guagua got up: "You only have Flamethrower left as a ranged attack. I can kite you to death. Hydro Pump!"
Facing Xiahunao’s incoming Hydro Pump, Charizard extended a claw crackling with electricity and opened its mouth to unleash a Flamethrower.
The blue flames instantly split into several streams, crackling with electricity, and swept towards Guagua.
"It's simple, but I can see the thought behind it. But you know, the farther away it is, the more separated these things become."
Guagua’s current distance from Charizard caused the already slender Guagua to slip through the gaps in the Flamethrower. At that very moment, a white light suddenly emanated from Charizard, and Xiahunao laughed: "This is the difference between bonds and Mega Evolution. The shelf life is just too far apart!"
