Natsuhiko's eyes flickered with superpower.
Only to see Togekiss transform into a white light, even when starting later, the "Divine Speed" technique still allowed it to successfully avoid the center of the "Flying Leaf Storm."
Some minor scrapes didn't really affect Togekiss.
However.
On Lurantis, a starry, green glow appeared, and instead of decreasing, its Special Attack increased substantially.
Oranguru, witnessing this scene, showed a hint of pride.
"Opposing Tune" trait?
Natsuhiko, also seeing this, felt slightly surprised.
To think that Oranguru found a Lurantis with the hidden trait "Opposing Tune" and a heritage "Flying Leaf Storm" technique.
No wonder it's bold enough to challenge.
Opposing Tune: When Pokémon undergo ability change, the ability changes in the opposite direction.
But...
The existence of Poke Plane.
Specifically counters all sorts of fancy tricks.
Lurantis turned to face Togekiss, ready to unleash "Flying Leaf Storm" again, unworried about missing, since its ability keeps increasing.
Once the ability hits its limit, if Togekiss makes a mistake and gets hit, it wouldn't be able to withstand it.
However.
As soon as it turned around, it was greeted by two shining white arc blades.
Air Slash!
Boom! Boom!
Lurantis couldn't dodge in time and was hit.
Togekiss's "Celestial Grace" trait triggered, and the "Air Slash" additional effect appeared, placing Lurantis in a "Wither" state.
"Chako yi!"
'Feel free to dance!'
Another two "Air Slashes."
With constant training, battles, and usage, Togekiss was no longer the little guy at the "Lily Youth Competition," who had just evolved and was unfamiliar with its techniques.
These two "Air Slashes" seamlessly connected with the previous ones.
Lurantis had barely recovered from the "Wither" state before being hit again.
Once more falling into "Wither" state.
"Chako yi~~"
Togekiss's eyes sparkled cunningly before using "Air Slash" again.
Bang, bang—
Bang, bang—
Oranguru watched this scene dumbly from a distance.
Its arms unconsciously drooped.
Its expression gradually became listless.
From start to finish, Lurantis only used "Flying Leaf Storm" once, showcasing its dance and trait.
And then there was no continuation.
Grass-type Pokémon are restrained by Flying Type.
Togekiss hadn't even had enough "slicing," and Lurantis had already lost the ability to fight, fallen to the ground.
It probably didn't even realize how it lost.
"Chako yi!"
Togekiss hovered above Lurantis, winking at Oranguru.
I, Poke·Challenge Invincible·Plane.
Specializing in.
Fancy tricks.
Alakazam and others were holding back laughter.
In duels.
Among Natsuhiko's main Pokémon, even they'd rather not engage Togekiss.
Because it's too unfair.
Didn't you see Alakazam always opting to spar with Beedrill?
If you fight Togekiss, be prepared for it to endlessly control you to defeat.
Without a chance to counter.
And being lucky, is often its norm.
"Oss!!"
"Buyi~~"
Latios and Eevee, the two little followers, cheered the loudest.
Oranguru slowly came to its senses.
It felt that no matter how much it tried to avoid it, it somehow still ended up in a certain circle.
But it quickly recouped its state.
"Intelligent Swinging!"
Sitting on the ground with a thump.
No, there's still a chance!
If battles can't compare, then let's in...what it's equally good at.
Natsuhiko brought the Pokémon in front of it, also sitting on the ground.
Waiting for it to announce the second round's content.
"Intelligent Swinging!"
Oranguru pointed at the Tree Fruits nearby, seriously speaking to Natsuhiko.
Alakazam, first to grasp the competition content Oranguru had in mind, almost erupted in laughter but managed to hold it back.
But its expression was odd.
The other Pokémon responded similarly.
Because what Oranguru wanted to compete in.
Was making Pokémon Food.
Using the nearby pile of Tree Fruits as materials.
Competing with Natsuhiko in making Pokémon Food?
"Alright." Natsuhiko agreed with a smile.
Then.
Oranguru seriously prepared to choose some quality Tree Fruits, crafting its most skilled Tree Fruit juices, only to see precision instruments appear in front of Natsuhiko.
Energy Block Maker.
Previously in the wild, when Natsuhiko used these Energy Block machines, it had to steal electricity from Beedrill's back.
Now.
It directly plugged in two Charjabugs to use.
Fifteen minutes later.
Oranguru, with a face questioning life, slowly chewed on the Energy Block Natsuhiko made.
The competitive Crabrawler it invited as "jury" devoured them one after another.
Without considering Pokémon Attribute pairing, purely chasing flavor.
The Energy Blocks Natsuhiko made, were so delicious that they couldn't be stopped.
Whereas Oranguru's Tree Fruit juice, though good to drink, for Togekiss accustomed to Shuckle-brewed Tree Fruit juices, it was just slightly good.
The outcome was already evident.
Oranguru sat dazed on the ground.
It had never felt such a huge sense of defeat.
Raising its eyelids, it could see Natsuhiko's smile.
"How about it? Shall we continue?" Natsuhiko asked.
Is there a need to continue?
Yes!
Oranguru reluctantly swallowed its frustration, determined to win a round no matter what!
"Intelligent Swinging!"
The third round.
Let's compete on this Pokemon Realm's astronomy and geography!
