The instant Diancie perfectly blocked Genesect's counterattacking Techno Blast, Leafeon darted gracefully in front of Genesect. The three-foot azure blade formed from the leaf on its forehead was shrouded in intense light.
Whoosh!
The Solar Blade, which had finished charging in advance, came crashing down with terrifying sharpness. Sensing the danger, red light flashed in Genesect's gray insect eyes. Returning to its flying form, its speed surged instantly, and in the blink of an eye, it had appeared outside Solar Blade's attack range.
Boom!
Solar Blade missed, leaving a deep sword mark on the inexplicably sturdy Blue Brick.
One had to know that even Incineroar, which had used Steelix as a whip, had failed to leave a sufficiently deep crater in the Blue Brick!
At the same time, Genesect unleashed a high-frequency, piercing cry laced with emerald energy.
Bug Cry, which was exceptionally effective against the Grass-type Leafeon, was, when combined with Genesect's strength, no weaker than Boomburst from Noivern, a Pokémon that specialized in sound-based attacks!
Bug Cry also had the added effect of damaging a Pokémon's resistance to energy attacks.
If it hit, Shiny Genesect's Techno Blast—which had advanced beyond those of its kind to the point where it could freely switch among four attribute cartridges—would become an even greater threat.
Even Leafeon had nearly failed to react to Genesect's sudden move.
In its King of Swords form, it could have relied on the Verdant Leaf Swordheart Ability to strike later yet arrive first and contend with it. But with both its type and level at a disadvantage, this Bug Cry had indeed brought it an unprecedented crisis.
Fortunately.
The Diancie Su Hao had sent out had remained by its side all along.
The suddenly expanding Diamond Shield steadily blocked Bug Cry, while immense Gravity descended from above.
