Lopunny, Normal-type, Advanced Elite Four!
Gardevoir, Psychic-type (+ Dark Type mutation), peak Elite Four!
In terms of innate base stats, Gardevoir was also far stronger than Lopunny.
But this battle was not entirely one-sided. As soon as Gardevoir appeared, Shu Du removed a brooch from his chest without hesitation.
"Lopunny, MEGA Evolution!"
Brilliant, dazzling multicolored light enveloped both Lopunny and Shu Du.
At that moment, the trainer's and Pokemon's powers catalyzed each other, granting both of them different boosts.
Shu Du's perception was clearly enhanced, and he was even more Connected in Heart with Lopunny, as though it were an extension of his arm.
Lopunny changed as well. Its pair of fluffy long ears were tied into two slender ponytails, and a casual swing produced sharp cracking sounds.
Crack! Crack! Crack! They were clearly two powerful Close Combat weapons!
Mega Lopunny, Normal-type + Fighting-type, peak Elite Four! Now, Lopunny was no weaker than Gardevoir in the slightest, and the outcome remained uncertain.
Mega Lopunny moved.
A brown blur flashed past, and Lopunny had already vanished from its original spot.
Thud! A dull impact rang out. Everyone looked towards the sound and discovered that Gardevoir's position had become a Giant Pit two meters wide.
Gardevoir had vanished without a trace!
"Mew?"
A sweet, adorable growl rang out. Lopunny seemed to be wondering when its opponent had fled, but matched with the Giant Pit it had smashed out beside it, the sight was rather unsettling.
On the other side, Gardevoir elegantly returned to the field and immediately raised its hand, firing a Psychic at Lopunny.
It was pure and powerful, with no concern whatsoever that it might be dodged! In fact, Lopunny could clearly feel Gardevoir's psychic Lock-On at that moment.
It couldn't escape...
If it couldn't escape, then it would resist
