The gap between them was obvious. Scizor could feel it too; in its perception, Hitmonchan across from it contained an immense, explosive reserve of energy.
Its gaze remained locked onto Scizor, ready to unleash an overwhelmingly powerful attack at any moment.
I'm not its match!
That thought flashed through its mind in an instant.
But Scizor's blood soon began to boil.
So what if its opponent was stronger? It would only know after fighting. It loved challenging powerful opponents.
Bruno said, "Begin!"
"Hitmonchan, use Focus Energy!"
Hitmonchan rose onto its toes, its body seeming to sway.
It took a deep breath, and countless streams of yellow energy rapidly traveled from its feet to its hands.
Eichi said, "Scizor, use Agility!"
The moment he spoke, Scizor's figure instantly turned into an afterimage and vanished into the air.
Bruno's eyes darted about as he searched for Scizor's figure.
Hitmonchan did the same, remaining where it was and responding to every change with stillness, ready to strike at any moment.
"Scizor, Bullet Punch!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Scizor appeared in midair and swung down at Hitmonchan's head.
Its massive red pincer shot out like a bullet, carrying an attack that seemed capable of piercing through anything.
Bruno said, "Hitmonchan, Bullet Punch behind you."
Hitmonchan's gaze sharpened, and its body sprang into motion in an instant. It bent down while tilting forty-five degrees to the left.
At the same time, it twisted at the waist, its eyes catching sight of Scizor's red pincer swinging in from behind.
Seeing this, Scizor immediately followed up with its other pincer, smashing down at Hitmonchan's head.
At the same time, Hitmonchan threw a punch. Its glove-like fist aimed for Scizor's chest, carving a spiral pattern through the air.
Bang!
Both attacks struck their targets.
