Electivire's Breakthrough Conditions

[No way!]

[One punch KO at equal strength?]

[Was that a rigged match? Even with Thunder Punch dealing double damage, it couldn't possibly one-shot it!]

[Wait, that didn't look like Thunder Punch?]

[If it wasn't Thunder Punch, then what was it? Thunderous Eight Trigrams Lightning Palm?]

Someone in the livestream noticed that Electivire's [Thunder Punch] seemed different from other Pokémon's [Thunder Punch].

However, even more viewers failed to notice that. All they saw was Electivire charging forward, using [Thunder Punch], and instantly defeating Blastoise.

What mattered was that Blastoise had not failed to resist.

It had resisted, yet it had still been one-shot.

Everyone had witnessed the clash between the two Pokémon just now.

Electivire seemed to have applied only a little force, and the opposing Blastoise fell.

Wasn't this a rigged match?

How could your [Thunder Punch] be this powerful?

You weren't an Elite Four level Pokémon bullying a beginner Pokémon. How could you possibly one-shot it like that?

Electivire had no idea that the livestream chat was flooded with doubts. If he had known, he would definitely have scoffed at them.

This is Thunder Punch?

How could it be!

This was clearly Zeraora's signature skill, Plasma Thunder Punch, which I inherited from Zeraora and practiced for two and a half... over one year!

Forget a mere Blastoise. Even an Elite Four level Crawdaunt would have to dodge if it stood before me now.
