Psychic-type Pokémon were a rather special kind among all Pokémon types.
They did not possess moves with overwhelming power and extreme burst potential. Their stronger offensive options were limited to moves like "Psyshock" and "Psychic."
Why?
Because psychic power itself was an exceptionally unusual kind of energy.
It could accomplish many things that Pokémon of other types could not, such as highly effective moves like "Future Sight" and "Teleport."
Psychic-type Pokémon could also unleash attacks comparable in power to moves without even using any moves.
And a move's power was not entirely fixed.
The amount of psychic power invested determined the corresponding level of destructive force.
It could be said to be an extremely flexible, versatile, and freely wielded ability.
Which meant that—
Although Alakazam could not truly use Mewtwo's "Psystrike," it could still replicate it to the greatest extent possible through techniques such as imitation, adaptation, and application of psychic power.
Besides.
Alakazam and Mewtwo, in a sense, shared the same genetic origin.
That gave Alakazam a greater degree of compatibility with Mewtwo.
Perhaps other Psychic-type Pokémon could not accomplish it.
But Alakazam was definitely the one with the best chance.
And the result was obvious.
Alakazam's performance did not disappoint Mewtwo or Xia Yan.
The "Sunny Day" hanging high above the arena slowly faded, and the Solar Power Ability that Alakazam had relied upon lost its effect at that moment.
But it had already helped Alakazam unleash the last of its remaining strength.
One of Xia Yan's greatest specialties was countering weather-based strategies.
Or rather.
Using the opponent's weather to create advantages for his own side as well.
He had thoroughly demonstrated that technique during the Masters Tournament.
Gardenia silently recalled the Houndoom that had lost its ability to battle. He looked deeply at Xia Yan, as well
