...
"Awoo!"
Dragonair scurried around in a panic, constantly dodging the attacks raining down from the sky.
"Watch out! Damn it! Meng Xi, if you have the guts, tell it to come down and fight head-on!"
"Well, if you have the guts, why don't you have your Dragonair fly up and fight it head-on?"
"This..."
Fei Xiao ate the fruit in her hand, speechless; after all, it suddenly felt like there was nothing left to watch.
Lin Siyu wouldn't just get kited to defeat like this, would she?
She can't be that bad, right?
...
The battlefield had already been reduced to a mess.
Seeing that Dragonair was running out of places to dodge, Lin Siyu bit her lip, determined to make a desperate gamble.
She had originally planned to try dodging the skills continuously to see who would get exhausted first, but now Dragonair was starting to struggle with the dodging.
"Hmph! Then we'll see if your Little Fire runs out of energy, or if my Dragonair knocks you down first! Dragonair, use Aqua Tail to sweep away all the attacks!"
"Awoo!"
Dragonair immediately stopped its gliding body, and Aqua Tail gathered on its Tail once again.
And this time, the skill was clearly twice as large as before.
With Dragonair's 180-degree Tail swing, all the incoming blades were completely swallowed and swept away by the water vortex.
In the sky, noticing the opponent using this move again, it had already dodged in advance to avoid being caught in it.
Lin Siyu had already anticipated that the opponent would be on guard.
"Use Water Pulse!"
"Awoo!"
Dragonair blinked its large eyes, staring intently at the Talonflame in the sky.
It gently opened its small mouth, and a surge of powerful energy, as if enchanted, quickly coalesced into a round blue orb, which kept flickering with blue light.
It aimed at the target with full concentration and then fired it off with a "whoosh."
Swish!
"Little Fire, dodge quickly!"
"Wa?"
Upon hearing its trainer's shout, Talonflame realized that a blue Energy Ball was flying towards it at lightning speed.
And the speed of this attack was actually much faster than the previous water vortex.
Seeing the attack getting closer and closer, Talonflame scrambled to flip its body.
In the end, Water Pulse grazed Talonflame's lower body as it flew past. That was close, it almost got hit.
Lin Siyu's tightly clenched little hand suddenly relaxed. "Huh? The sneak attack failed? Alright then, continue with Water Pulse!"
"Awoo!"
Upon hearing the command, Dragonair immediately gathered another Water Pulse in its mouth and fired it at the opponent.
Meng Xi thought for a moment, and a decision formed in her mind.
"Talonflame, let's switch to close-quarters combat. Use Aerial Ace to shatter Water Pulse."
"Wa!"
Its wings were immediately enveloped in white light as it quickly dived towards the opponent.
As Water Pulse rapidly approached, and just when it was within reach, it slashed down with both wings simultaneously.
Water Pulse was easily slashed into four pieces, after which it exploded and turned into water vapor.
After neutralizing Water Pulse, Talonflame maintained its speed, closing in on Dragonair in just a few seconds.
"Use Aerial Ace again!"
Lin Siyu knew it was too late to use Aqua Tail, so she decided to just take a gamble.
"Dragonair, trust me. Take this hit head-on, then bind the opponent using Wrap."
"What?"
Meng Xi's body trembled; she hadn't expected her opponent to play so ruthlessly, but it was too late to stop Talonflame now.
"Wa!"
Talonflame flapped its wings and "whooshed" into Dragonair, landing a solid hit on its opponent's stomach.
After this combo, Dragonair cried out in pain, "Awoo, awoo!"
However, Dragonair followed its trainer's instructions perfectly, staring straight at Talonflame without any intention of dodging.
Feeling the pain on its body, Dragonair gritted its teeth and, before Talonflame could try to escape, wrapped its long body tightly around it.
"Wa!"
After catching its opponent, Dragonair ignored its own injuries and immediately tightened the bind, squeezing its opponent hard.
With its wings bound, Talonflame realized it couldn't break free from its opponent's hold at all.
Lin Siyu was so happy she almost jumped up.
"That's it, don't let it run away!"
As Dragonair tightened its hold, Talonflame's expression became increasingly painful.
"Little Fire, try using Flame Charge to see if you can break free!"
"Wa!"
Talonflame endured the tight binding, and a raging fire immediately ignited on its body.
"Awoo!"
Dragonair felt the scorching flames at close range; although it was unbearable, it relied on its strong will and did not let go of its opponent.
Seeing that Dragonair still wouldn't give up, Talonflame simply raised the temperature of its flames even higher.
Dragonair's blue body sizzled, and if you looked closely, you could probably see that the contact points were a bit charred.
"Dragonair, hang in there, hurry and use Water Pulse."
"Awoo!"
The blue Energy Ball quickly formed, though it was much smaller than before.
But it was just about enough!
"Awoo!"
Dragonair turned its head towards the bound Talonflame.
Without hesitation, a point-blank Water Pulse was, unsurprisingly, taken head-on by the latter.
"Wa..."
As the explosion ended and the water vapor dissipated.
Talonflame's pupils shook violently, and the flames burning on its body vanished the next moment.
"Little Fire!"
Meng Xi was shocked; this was completely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Talonflame's pupils began to dilate, and its mind was in such chaos that it started shaking erratically.
Fei Xiao immediately understood and casually tossed away the fruit pit in her hand.
"It's been hit by the confusion effect; it looks like the outcome is decided."
"Little Fire, what's wrong? Hurry and calm down!"
The two battling didn't yet understand what the confusion effect was.
But Lin Siyu knew her chance had come and excitedly raised her arm high, waving it.
"Just like that, use Aqua Tail to finish it off completely."
Dragonair wrapped its Tail around its opponent and then spun rapidly.
Talonflame was directly swept into the water vortex, but its mind was still in total chaos.
It drifted helplessly in the water current.
Meng Xi could imagine that after this move, Little Fire would definitely be unable to continue fighting.
But it wasn't listening to her commands at all right now.
"Little Fire, hurry and wake up! If you can hear me, use Brave Bird to attack!"
"Awoo!"
Just as Dragonair was about to end the match.
Talonflame, caught in the vortex, suddenly regained consciousness at this moment.
"Wa?"
Soon, Talonflame pulled itself together again, gathering its last bit of strength as blue flames ignited all over its body.
The next moment, Talonflame actually forced its way against the current, relying solely on its body.
"Awoo!"
Dragonair also noticed this and immediately accelerated the rotation of the water current.
Aqua Tail was visibly expanding slowly.
"Wa!"
"Awoo!"
A few short seconds later.
Dragonair slammed Aqua Tail into the ground once again, and Talonflame simultaneously struck its opponent.
A violent explosion occurred in the center of the battlefield.
...
After a while, they could see the scene before them clearly.
The once-level ground had been mostly destroyed again.
Dragonair and Talonflame both lay on the ground in the center of the battlefield.
