In the first round of exchanges, both sides claimed victories. Metagross displayed the formidable physical quality of a pseudo-legendary, its four Steel Giant Arms practically upgraded weapons of mass destruction.
But Absol's attack power also astonished everyone. The attacks unleashed through Moonblade Scythe carried incredibly powerful cutting force.
If Metagross had not also possessed the Steel Type, that Sucker Punch just now would have been enough to make it suffer badly.
After testing each other out, the two clashed again, but this time neither of them charged in recklessly.
"Metagross, Gravity!"
"Absol, Swords Dance!"
Their commands rang out at the same time, but Absol carried out its command faster. Red light flickered all over its body as it began buffing itself.
Although Metagross was a beat slower, Gravity only took an extremely short time to apply. Once Absol came under Gravity's suppression, its body visibly sank a section lower.
Sato frowned slightly, Realizing that things were not simple! Sure enough, after using Gravity, Metagross immediately launched an attack, Taking Advantage Of The Situation.
Hammer Arm Quartet! Compared to the basic Bullet Punch, Hammer Arm undoubtedly possessed greater attack power, but its side effect of lowering Speed greatly diminished its practical value.
But now, Absol was under Gravity's suppression. What was affected most was not its Speed, but its reaction time! Seeing Hammer Arm fiercely attack, Absol immediately realized it needed to dodge, but its body was clearly a beat too slow.
"Iron Tail defense!"
At the crucial moment, Sato found another solution for Absol! Amid flashing silver light, Hammer Arm and Iron Tail collided with a thunderous crash. The hastily used Iron Tail naturally could not match Hammer Arm, but Absol also Used the rebound force to pull away! "Metagross, Hammer Arm!"
"Dark Pulse, widen the distance!"
