Diancie was not deliberately holding back or reducing the output of Gravity.
On the contrary, it had maintained its original output while gradually increasing the strength of the gravity field.
Even so, it could not stop Pikachu from rapidly adapting to the environment under Gravity.
Until a certain moment.
Pikachu's waning aura suddenly surged at an astonishing rate, and an endless stream of power flooded its small body.
"Pikachu, Volt Tackle!"
Like a thunderclap from clear skies, Pikachu frantically unleashed electricity, transforming into a massive sphere of lightning as it slammed toward Diancie.
As it charged, the violent currents became countless writhing lightning serpents that pierced the air and left charred marks across the field.
