But Mega Gardevoir, relying on its type advantages and flexible battle experience, responded with determination and turned the situation around.
Both Moonblast and Disarming Voice are Fairy-type moves.
As for Kommo-o, it has a double weakness to Psychic and a quadruple weakness to Fairy.
It could be said that Kommo-o meeting Mega Gardevoir was extremely unlucky—like suffering eight lifetimes of misfortune.
It was no wonder that the Kommo-o showed such an aggressive attacking style at the beginning of the battle.
Kommo-o understood that it had no type advantage whatsoever. Naturally, the sooner this battle ended, the better it would be.
However, its strategy had been quite successful. If it hadn't been for Caroline's psychic boost to Mega Gardevoir, the battle would have ended with that Sky Uppercut.
Caroline's expression wasn't very pleasant—this brief exchange had only lasted a few moments.
The speed of Elite-level Pokémon was naturally beyond what ordinary Pokémon could match.
But as a psychic, Caroline could see the entire battle clearly even if she couldn't issue commands instantly.
Therefore, she saw clearly just how close that exchange had been.
And she firmly believed that as a thousand-year dragon, Kommo-o absolutely couldn't have only such simple tactics.
Once, at the Altar of the Sunne, she had been fortunate enough to witness Kommo-o use its exclusive move—Clangorous Soul.
But now, even though Kommo-o was slightly injured, it still looked like it could handle the battle with ease.
After watching the battle unfold, Roy and his three Pokémon companions, who were sitting not far away, tacitly moved back.
The twin Hydro Pump cannons on Blastoise's back produced small streams of water that splashed onto their faces.
Roy was speechless as well. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Elite-level Pokémon are really terrifying."
Lucario looked at Roy with watery eyes.
Roy, a dog lover, had two canine Pokémon.
"You will reach that level too."
[Yes!]
Roy recalled Mega Gardevoir's move 'Disarming Voice'—its effect guaranteed the attack would hit.
While Moonblast's attack followed a straight line, Kommo-o's body clearly showed three wounds.
—Its left arm, right arm, and right shoulder.
All were heavily armored parts of Kommo-o's body.
Roy's heart tightened as a possibility crossed his mind.
Mega Gardevoir slowly descended from mid-air back to the ground. Only when it got closer could one see that the injury on Mega Gardevoir's left shoulder wasn't too serious.
Gentle purple energy rings emerged from Mega Gardevoir's hands, centered on its body, and spread outward.
The wound on Mega Gardevoir's left shoulder could be clearly seen healing slowly.
This was why Mega Gardevoir's injury wasn't considered severe.
—Heal Pulse.
And just as Heal Pulse continued emitting lavender light, Kommo-o moved.
The distance between them wasn't particularly close. After all, as a fragile Mega Gardevoir, maintaining distance was almost like a safety line during battle.
So even though Mega Gardevoir was currently using a move, it still had time to forcibly cancel it and begin another.
Suddenly, lavender light appeared not far from Mega Gardevoir, forming a wall on Kommo-o's direct path.
—Light Screen.
Kommo-o saw this Light Screen, but it didn't seem to want to stop at all. Instead, it turned slightly sideways, leading with its uninjured left shoulder, and continued sprinting forward.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Two consecutive Light Screens were quickly broken through by Kommo-o. The shattered screens sparkled in the sunlight, becoming mottled and bright fragments.
—Giga Impact.
An extremely powerful attack that came at the cost of temporary weakness!
This move was known by only a small number of Kommo-o. For Pokémon like Mega Gardevoir, it was still an effective move.
For Fairy and Psychic types, it was a Normal-type attack—a straightforward physical assault.
Mega Gardevoir was shocked. It quickly opened its mouth and made a cute sound, trying to lower Kommo-o's attack power.
But this time, it had no effect whatsoever on Kommo-o, and didn't stop its advance at all.
"Get out of the way!"
But how could it dodge in time?
Kommo-o's massive body coupled with its sprinting speed—just the moment of contact was enough to send Mega Gardevoir flying toward the beach.
But Kommo-o didn't give it that chance at all. It grabbed Mega Gardevoir's dress with one hand and slammed it into the ground.
—Brick Break.
Seeing this, Roy couldn't help but stand up abruptly.
Mega Gardevoir had panicked and forgotten about Kommo-o's ability—Soundproof—and even used Growl, a move that had no effect on it, in such an emergency situation.
Mega Gardevoir's condition was problematic!
Looking at Kommo-o again, everything was exactly as expected.
This time Roy saw it clearly—the surface of Kommo-o's body was covered with a faint gray aura.
Because Kommo-o's body was naturally gray, it wasn't very obvious.
Yes, it was Outrage.
He didn't know when it had started, but Kommo-o had quietly activated Outrage.
Such powerful fighting spirit coupled with draconic pressure—in this battle of wills, Kommo-o had completely seized the advantage.
This also made Mega Gardevoir uncontrollably panic without its Trainer's commands during the battle.
Roy looked at Caroline, who was frowning, and felt relieved. It seemed she had already realized what was happening.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Caroline directed Mega Gardevoir to use Heal Pulse repeatedly.
Then, during the use of the move, Caroline must have said something to Mega Gardevoir through their psychic connection, because its spirit suddenly perked up.
Its eyes became firm—how could it look like it had been injured at all?
Kommo-o looked puzzled. Why did it suddenly seem like it had been given a shot of adrenaline?
Roy wanted to continue watching, but the aftermath of the moves released by Mega Gardevoir had completely reached him.
Facing two Elite-level top-tier battles, it was obviously unreasonable to watch them at such close range.
There were even times when Mega Gardevoir's Psyshock beams hit the ground near Roy's feet.
And Kommo-o's massive fist slammed into the ground, trees, and stones, sending debris flying that penetrated the dry trunks where they had been sitting.
After several more exchanges, Roy couldn't sit still any longer.
He called out to Lucario, Blastoise, and Mimikyu, and they hurriedly retreated back toward the coast.
He could see trees in the forest continuously falling, crashing onto the ground and startling flocks of wild Pokémon into flight.
The island's ground shook beneath them.
