"Thud… thud… thud…"
Aggron's heavy footsteps shook the battlefield, dust rising with every step it took forward.
On its back, Pachirisu had already begun charging its attack.
Just as they closed in, Conway gave the command with perfect timing:
"Now! Focus fire on Clefairy—Heavy Slam!"
Dawn followed immediately, "Pachirisu, use Thunderbolt!"
"Chi-pa~!"
The tiny electric squirrel leapt into the air, releasing a sharp bolt of lightning that tore toward Clefairy—followed closely by Aggron's crushing Heavy Slam.
The commentator's voice rang out excitedly:
"What perfect coordination! Two attacks, one after the other—Even if Clefairy uses Protect now, it can only block one of them!"
Heavy Slam: A Steel-type move whose power depends on the weight difference between user and target. The greater the difference, the stronger the move—up to a maximum of 120. If the target is in a Minimize state, the damage is doubled.
Aggron, weighing over 360 kilograms, faced two tiny opponents whose combined weight didn't even reach 50 kilograms. This meant Heavy Slam would hit with maximum power—and as a Steel-type move, it was super effective against Clefairy, while also dealing massive damage to a minimized Chansey.
"Not a bad choice of move…" Peter said with a faint smile, even as he issued his command.
"Chansey, use Protect!"
That single order confused everyone present.
The attacks were clearly aimed at Clefairy—so why was Chansey using Protect?
The answer came instantly.
Whitney raised her hand with a playful grin. "Clefairy, use Ally Switch!"
"Pi~!"
Clefairy smiled mischievously as a ripple of psychic energy flickered through the field—
In the next instant, Chansey and Clefairy swapped positions.
The Thunderbolt, which should have hit its mark, instead narrowly grazed the minimized Chansey's head and missed entirely.
Meanwhile—
Aggron, coated in Steel-type energy, slammed straight into Chansey's Protect barrier.
"Boom—!"
The impact sent Chansey flying over ten meters before it skidded to a stop near the edge of the field.
But then—
"Lucky~!"
Chansey casually dusted itself off and stood back up, completely unharmed.
Dawn blinked in disbelief. "You can do that?!"
"No time to be surprised~" Whitney said, raising her arm as her chest bounced slightly with the motion. "Clefairy, Dazzling Gleam!"
"Pi… PI~!!"
Blinding light erupted once more.
Aggron raised an arm to shield its eyes—but Pachirisu, completely exposed, was struck head-on and blasted backward, crashing to the ground in critical condition.
A Pokémon more suited for companionship simply couldn't withstand such a high-level battle.
"Pachirisu!" Dawn cried out anxiously.
Whitney pressed the advantage immediately. "Again—Dazzling Gleam!"
Conway reacted instantly. "Aggron, block it for Pachirisu!"
But Peter had no intention of letting that happen.
"Chansey, use Rock Slide!"
Another wave of dazzling light surged forward.
Aggron took a step, trying to intercept—
—but a massive rock came crashing down in front of it.
Its pupils shrank as it instinctively halted.
"Boom…"
The rock shattered against its body, dealing minimal damage—
—but behind it, Pachirisu had already fallen under the second Dazzling Gleam.
The referee raised the flag.
"Pachirisu is unable to battle!"
Conway froze for a moment. "That just now… was that a flinch?"
Rock Slide had a chance to cause flinching, interrupting the opponent's action.
Peter smiled faintly. "My Chansey has Serene Grace."
…
The livestream chat exploded once again.
"WHAT?! Serene Grace Chansey?! Double flinch chance?!"
"This is insane… damage is low but the humiliation is maxed out!"
"And you can't even hit it after Minimize!!"
"Not just that—tanky as hell! Even if you hit it twice, it just uses Soft-Boiled and heals back up!"
"BRO HOW IS CHANSEY THIS CUTE AND THIS EVIL AT THE SAME TIME?!"
"..."
Conway's eye twitched.
This wasn't how the battle was supposed to go.
"…Hah…"
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
"There may be some deviations… but with just these two, you have no way of dealing with my Aggron!"
After all, Chansey's offensive power was negligible, and Clefairy—unevolved and resisted—could hardly break through Aggron's defenses.
With that thought, Conway adjusted his glasses again.
"Aggron, use Heavy Slam!"
This time, the target—
Was Chansey.
As expected, Chansey used Protect again, blocking the attack before being sent flying backward once more.
But—
"Aggron, use Toxic!"
A thick, poisonous mist gathered in its mouth, ready to engulf the airborne Chansey.
"Clefairy, Ally Switch!"
Swish—
In an instant, Clefairy and Chansey swapped places again.
The Toxic cloud enveloped Clefairy completely.
Conway smirked. "Just wait for the poison to take effect."
"Oh really~?" Whitney smiled sweetly. "Clefairy, use Encore!"
"Pi~!"
As the toxic mist cleared, Clefairy stood there unharmed, surrounded by faint magical sparkles.
Ability: Magic Guard — immune to all indirect damage.
The spotlight seemed to focus as Clefairy clapped rhythmically, locking onto Aggron—
For the next few turns, it could only use Toxic.
"…Then keep using Toxic!" Conway didn't hesitate.
From his perspective, it didn't matter—even if Aggron got locked into Encore, his opponent had no real damage output.
Peter and Whitney exchanged a glance—
—and smiled.
"Clefairy, use Trick!"
"Chansey, Rock Slide!"
"Boom—!"
Another massive rock crashed down.
Flinch.
Once again, Aggron's Toxic was interrupted.
Conway smirked. "Heh… that level of damage isn't even worth mentioning—"
But his smile froze in the next second.
A clump of black sludge floated off Clefairy's body—
—and swapped with the Sitrus Berry Aggron was holding.
Black Sludge.
Almost instantly, a dark aura rose from Aggron's body as its HP began to drain continuously.
And that wasn't all.
Chansey followed up with a direct Sweet Kiss, striking Aggron square on the forehead—
Confusion.
Aggron roared and began wildly attacking—
—but in its eyes, Chansey was nothing more than a flickering point of light, impossible to hit.
Every so often, it would flinch again from Rock Slide.
Then get hit by another Dazzling Gleam.
Again.
And again.
And again.
…
After a grueling two and a half minutes of pure torment—
Aggron let out an unwilling roar and collapsed to the ground.
The referee stood stunned for a moment before finally announcing:
"Aggron is unable to battle! Victory goes to Peter and Whitney!"
Whitney jumped up happily, wrapping her arms around Peter.
"Hehe~ Honey, this strategy is so fun! I love it!"
Peter smiled softly. "As long as you like it."
As he spoke, he also briefly explained the items used—Bright Powder and Black Sludge.
The livestream instantly exploded with comments.
"I'm Aggron. I just want to go home and find my mom."
"You thought you were facing one pink devil? NO—IT'S TWO!!!"
"You thought Steel-types counter stall? NO—IT'S SERENE GRACE FLINCH + MINIMIZE + BRIGHT POWDER DODGE HELL!"
"NO NO NO—ALLY SWITCH + ENCORE + TRICK AND GIVE THEM TOXIC ORBS, FLAME ORBS, BLACK SLUDGE—IT'S OVER!"
"This strategy is DISGUSTING! Professor Peter has corrupted his girlfriend!!!"
"Trick is actually insane… Peter just made my brain grow again…"
"TL;DR: Pink devils… but there are two."
"..."
