Blaziken vs. Golisopod

This was Swellow.

Swellow's feathers were primarily dark blue, with vermilion markings on its neck, tail tip, and forehead, while its belly was white.

Beyond that, Swellow's physical structure had changed as well. Its sharp claws had turned red, while its beak remained yellow.

Swellow

Aptitude: Outstanding

Level: Peak Gym Leader (59)

This Swellow was a full size larger than ordinary Swellow and looked even more powerful as it circled through the air.

Eichi knew that as long as it had not broken through to Elite Four level, any Pokémon could be challenged by Scizor. This Swellow was no exception.

"The match continues!"

"Swellow, use Air Slash!"

Swellow spread its wings, drew them together, and flapped forward, stirring up a great wind.

Two white wind blades formed instantly and shot toward Scizor. The air was like the edge of a sharp blade, gleaming with light.

"Scizor, Bullet Punch!"

Scizor instantly turned into an afterimage and vanished into the air.

When it reappeared, it was already before Swellow. Its huge pincer swung out in an instant, smashing fiercely into the wind blades.

The air trembled!

Scizor felt gusts of wind scraping across its body like tiny knives.

Yet Scizor's steel-like body did not feel much pain.

Its twin pincers swung out and collided with the wind blades. Transparent ripples spread through the surrounding air before vanishing in an instant.

Then the wind blades dispersed, and Scizor was knocked back some distance.

Swellow seized the opportunity, its wings becoming covered in white energy in the blink of an eye.

"Swellow, Steel Wing!"

Just as Swellow's Steel Wing was about to strike Scizor, Scizor instantly split into two clones.

"Scizor, Double Team!"

The Steel Wing struck one of the clones, cutting it in half at the waist
