Especially since it could continue using Fire Spin after unleashing Flamethrower—ordinary Pokémon simply could not do that.
Among all the opponents he had faced so far, fewer than five could manage it.
Vulpix being able to do this already made it stronger than many Pokémon.
Senior student Xuan Xin truly deserved her place among the top three in their year.
Heracross could no longer stay on the ground. It was covered in flames.
So it could only keep flying upward.
Once it reached midair, Vulpix's pillar of flame finally stopped.
Heracross, hovering in the air, launched its attack as well.
"Heracross, use Mega Pin Missile!" Eichi quickly gave the command.
"Yaklu!"
Heracross swiftly mobilized the energy within its body, condensing countless Light Needles in the space around it.
The Light Needles then continuously gathered together, eventually forming a massive yellow Light Cone.
The Light Cone locked onto the Vulpix below and shot out under Heracross's control in an instant.
"Vulpix, Flamethrower!"
The same move again. After resting briefly, Vulpix mobilized the energy in its body once more while wildly absorbing Fire-type energy particles from the air.
A mass of flames gathered in its mouth before blasting out as a pillar of fire.
Though Vulpix was small, it contained tremendous energy.
Du Cang watched as the enormous Light Cone in the air collided with the pillar of flame.
"Boom!!"
The two forces held out for less than two seconds before exploding violently. The shockwave extinguished the Fire Spin on the ground.
Heracross and Vulpix were both blasted away.

She knew Heracross had never been good at speed,
