Moreover, Togekiss isn't purely a support; its offensive capabilities are undeniable.
Don't forget, Togekiss used "Trick" right from the start; its Special Attack is not to be underestimated.
This strategy, as Natsuhiko put it with Hilona, is... the "Blood Demon Stream" tactic.
Pulling the opponent's health down to the same level as one's own, then using one's own advantage to finish them off.
Even if it can't finish them off, Spiritomb is perfectly capable of taking one down with it.
It wasn't just Lance and Flint who understood; the audience understood too.
"Damn, this tactic..." Da Ye stared wide-eyed.
"It's quite similar to the 'Song of Destruction' tactic," Kona adjusted his glasses.
Also adjusting his glasses was Wusong, who was lounging with legs crossed, holding a book recently published by Wanlong, "Studying tactics after hours."
Nanami covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, "Natsuhiko is indeed a 'Tactical Master'."
Beside Nanami were two kids.
One of them, her brother Gary Oak, was deep in thought, feeling that the Pokémon battle tactics were too profound, which made him seriously question the strategies he'd been developing over the years and his own tactical skills.
On the other hand, Ash Ketchum wasn't overthinking it; he was just wondering: Why did Aggron stop attacking?
However.
Lance and Flint, being seasoned Trainers, made quick adjustments.
Spiritomb couldn't attack anymore.
But Togekiss could.
Noticing the changes in their gazes, Natsuhiko's smile became increasingly odd, and he winked at Hilona.
Hilona hesitated for a moment but quickly reacted.
"Spiritomb, Curse!"
Curse...
The "Blood Demon Stream" is not just the use of the "Pain Split" technique.
Soon, Spiritomb's body surged with dense Ghost energy again, the stamina just recovered with Togekiss's "Dawn's" help was quickly consumed, and the Ghost energy spreading from its body attached to Charizard.
Curse attached!
Charizard immediately showed a pained expression but still gritted its teeth and launched a "Flamethrower" at Togekiss.
"Aggron, Rockslide!"
Seeing this, Flint knew he couldn't hesitate any longer; otherwise, they'd definitely be toyed with by Spiritomb. They had to quickly deal with Togekiss, then both Pokémon could team up against Spiritomb, and that so-called "Blood Demon Stream" would be ineffective.
Fierce blazing fires and the crashing rocks from above, Togekiss remained calm and used "Divine Speed" to dodge Aggron's "Rockslide," although Charizard's "Flamethrower" prevented it from dodging and caused damage; it still successfully reached Aggron.
Togekiss in front, Spiritomb behind.
Aggron's spine shivered.
"Spiritomb, Hypnosis."
"Yawn."
Double "Hypnosis"!
Aggron's eyelids began to droop uncontrollably, its massive body swaying.
Bam!
Crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Chako Ee!"
Togekiss: Yours. (´Д｀)y━・~~
Spiritomb: All yours. (๑¯◡¯๑)
Dream Eater!
Ahem, I should mention here, "Large Rhizome" Spiritomb...
Never mind, it seems both are female.
In short, Dream Eater is a technique used on sleeping Pokémon, causing damage to them while recovering one's own stamina.
Another critical technique of the "Blood Demon Stream."
Then.
Togekiss hovered in front of Aggron, beckoning to Charizard.
Manual Taunt.
Come here!
Charizard looked at Lance.
If it were to breathe fire, it's unsure what would happen to Togekiss and Spiritomb, but it guesses Aggron...
Lance's eye twitched.
"Chako Ee!"
But while Charizard hesitated, Togekiss wouldn't, waving its feathered crown, the technique...
Try Again!
Charizard was instantly influenced by Togekiss, the flames in its belly rising, and used the "Flamethrower" technique again.
Enduring Charizard's two "Flamethrowers," Togekiss wasn't feeling well, but precisely maintained its health.
Spiritomb needn't be mentioned; the essence of the "Blood Demon Stream" is to make others think its "health" is low, but for it, the whole arena is a "Blood Treasure," absorbing as it pleases.
But poor Aggron.
A well-fought double battle got messed up by its own team.
And Charizard, having used "Flamethrower," wasn't feeling well either; as the "Curse" effect activated, its wings trembled, and it fell from the air.
"Chako Ee."
Togetic waved its wings, signaling Spiritomb to follow.
Spiritomb scampered over to Charizard.
̋(๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑)
Seeing these two little ones, Charizard's eyes twitched.
Let's fight appropriately, shall we?
Togekiss and Spiritomb exchanged glances, slyly launching another double "Hypnosis."
When Charizard closed its eyes, it felt relieved.
At least, it "went" peacefully.
The "Curse" triggered again, and Charizard lost the ability to battle.
So...
"Uh... Oh, the winning team is Natsuhiko and Hilona!"
However, the entire arena was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
