The backlash from the energy aftershock affected its speed, reducing the attack's power by at least thirty percent.
Bang!!
Beedrill charged out of the smoke, still spinning like a massive cone.
"Beedrill, Poison Jab!"
Red energy seemed to surge at the tip of the enormous cone, but amid the sea of flames, it was barely noticeable.
Ninetales had just unleashed Fire Blast and had no time to prepare another move, leaving it somewhat rushed.
Teacher Gong Shi narrowed his eyes. In Ninetales's condition, taking that hit would be bad.
He had to block it.
"Ninetales, use Flame Charge!"
Within this sea of flames, Fire-type energy was abundant, greatly reducing the time needed to gather energy.
The moment it was activated, countless flames condensed instantly. However, this gathering also drained the surrounding fire energy completely.
The sea of flames rapidly dissipated, returning the arena to its original state.
Ninetales itself became cloaked in flames, like a king of fiery foxes.
The densely concentrated flames made it resemble a massive source of fire. It leaped forward on its own initiative.
It crashed toward the incoming Beedrill.
From afar, their collision looked like a gigantic yellow cone crashing into a ball of flame.
Bang!!
At the instant they collided, everyone had the illusion that time itself had gone silent, that they could not hear a single sound.
Then, in that brief instant, an earth-shattering roar followed.
A tremendous explosion erupted from the Battle Arena. Everyone saw the two attacks repel and clash with each other before fully merging together. Then, with a bang, they exploded all at once.
It was a complete fusion of energy, colored in every shade and especially dazzling and awe-inspiring.
Both Pokémon were blasted away at the same time.
The instant after the collision, Ninetales was knocked unconscious. From
