The battle was already halfway over.
Articuno had witnessed, with its own eyes, the progress Su Hao's Pokémon had made.
In a corner where no one could see, it sucked in a sharp breath.
Good grief, good grief!
After not seeing them for a while, had every last one of these guys become a master of some specialty!?
Milotic, Dragapult, and the Dragapult siblings aside, their performances had always been steady.
But the progress of the other Pokémon had exceeded Articuno's expectations even more, leaving it utterly stunned!
In Articuno's eyes, Incineroar had changed greatly. It was not just the incredibly solid, difficult-to-break aura granted by the Dread Plate that impressed it.

Those transformations were utterly unheard of, and it was also the first time it had seen the essence of such power.
That was undoubtedly the power
