Chapter 425: Electivire vs. Medicham
Faced with the crackling momentum of Electivire's Thunder Punch, Medicham didn't
retreat. Instead, it thrust its palm forward, releasing a concentrated burst of
shockwave energy.
Force Palm!
THOOM!
The explosive impact of the Force Palm redirected the trajectory of Electivire's
strike, forcing the golden brute's arm wide.
Medicham seized the opening instantly. It leaped high, its body coiling like a
spring before snapping out a devastating downward heel strike.
High Jump Kick!
This was a high-stakes move—130 base power (adjusted for its Pure Power ability,
it was cataclysmic). However, the risk was equal to the reward: if the user
missed, they would suffer massive recoil damage from the failed impact.
Electivire's pupils shrank. It couldn't dodge in time. It pulled its arms back,
crossing them over its head in a desperate defensive stance.
BOOM!
Medicham's heel slammed down like a tactical war axe. The sheer force of the
blow caused the ground beneath Electivire to shatter into a spiderweb of deep
fissures. If that kick had landed cleanly on Electivire's skull, even the
Thunder Armor wouldn't have saved it.
Despite the successful block, the raw physical pressure was immense. Electivire
gritted its teeth, redirected the force through its legs, and shoved upward,
sliding out from under the "Axe Kick."
CRASH!
Medicham's foot hit the ground where Electivire had been standing a split second
prior. The impact sounded like a ton of steel being dropped from a skyscraper,
sending a plume of dust and debris into the air.
Zzzzt—Zzzt!
Suddenly, faint sparks of gold electricity danced across Medicham's skin.
Static Paralysis: Triggered!
Li Xisheng's expression remained stoic. He knew that engaging Kenji's Electivire
in close quarters was a double-edged sword. The Thunder Armor wasn't just
defensive; it was a reactive hazard. Any contact carried the risk of the Static
ability or the armor's own high-voltage discharge.
But he couldn't afford to play cautiously.
"Keep the pressure on! High Jump Kick again!"
"QIA!"
Medicham ignored the tingling in its muscles and launched itself forward like a
projectile. Electivire sidestepped, the knee strike missing by a fraction of an
inch.
Just as Medicham was about to slam into the ground and suffer the bone-breaking
recoil of a missed jump, it performed a bizarre, contorted twist in mid-air.
Using a localized Force Palm against the air itself to stabilize its descent, it
performed a fluid "Yoga Roll," neutralizing the impact and rolling back onto its
feet.
This was the specialized "Yoga Judo" Kenji had heard about. By blending its
innate flexibility with precise energy bursts, Medicham could effectively delete
the drawbacks of its most dangerous moves.
THUD! CRACK! BANG!
The two Pokémon collided again and again, turning the arena into a blurred
cyclone of martial arts.
Because of its Pure Power ability, Medicham's physical strikes were terrifyingly
heavy. Combined with the level gap, it held the clear advantage in raw output.
But as the minutes dragged on, the look on Medicham's face began to shift from
focus to a growing, underlying shock.
As the master of the fight, Medicham could feel the shift more than anyone else.
It wasn't just that Electivire's speed was steadily climbing thanks to the
Radiant Rageblade. It was the rhythm.
Electivire was evolving in real-time. It was reading Medicham's "Yoga Judo"
patterns, absorbing the timing of the rolls, and predicting the trajectory of
the Force Palms. The golden brute was tailoring its entire combat style to
specifically dismantle Medicham.
The "Thunder Tyrant" was no longer just a brawler—it was a student of the fight,
and it was quickly becoming the master.
"QIA!"
Suddenly, as they prepared for another clash, Medicham's muscles seized. The
dormant Paralysis finally proc'd at the worst possible moment. Its energy flow
flickered, and its guard dropped for a fraction of a second.
Electivire didn't miss a heartbeat. It lunged, but instead of a punch, it sent
its twin, whip-like tails snaking forward.
They coiled around Medicham's arms like high-voltage shackles, and a massive
surge of electricity erupted from the tips.
ZZZZZZZT!
"QIAAAAAAA!"
Medicham shrieked as the current cooked its internal systems. It tried to twist
away, but Electivire stepped in, pinning the Yoga Master into its own attack
rhythm. It unleashed a final, point-blank Thunder Punch to the chest.
BOOM!
Medicham was launched across the field, its body scorched and smoke rising from
its fur. It didn't get back up.
"Medicham is unable to battle! Electivire wins!"
"BO-QIAAAAA!"
Electivire pounded its chest, its roar echoing through the stadium like a
thunderclap.
"Come back, Medicham. You fought well."
Li Xisheng recalled his Pokémon and reached for his third ball. "I see your
Electivire has quite the appetite for learning. Let's see how it handles raw,
unmitigated power. Go! Machamp!"
"MA-CHAMP!"
The four-armed titan landed in the arena. It didn't roar; it simply struck a
series of classic bodybuilder poses, flexing its massive deltoids before
settling into a low, immovable defensive stance.
[Pokémon Status]
Target: Machamp (Champion Tier) Gender: Female Level: 96 Type: Fighting Ability:
Guts Potential: S-
The moment Machamp took its stance, a flicker of purple flame licked across its
skin.
Status: Burned! Ability: Guts Triggered!
Under the Guts ability, the Burn didn't weaken Machamp. Instead, it acted as a
catalyst, skyrocketing its Attack power by 50%. More importantly, because
Machamp was already afflicted by a status condition, it was now immune to
Electivire's paralysis.
Li Xisheng had learned from Medicham's defeat. He was sending in a monster that
couldn't be tamed by lightning.
