Beedrill's Performance

"Magnezone has lost the ability to battle! Royal Mask's situation has become extremely unfavorable. How will he try to turn things around?"

Kukui had already lost three Pokémon, and Incineroar was not in peak condition either.

Meanwhile, Xia Yan had only lost one Infernape. Though Togekiss had been severely injured by Magnezone's Thunder, it could at least still battle.

Thus, Xia Yan's advantage was already quite obvious.

Kukui's expression was grave. He knew that he had fallen behind.

Togekiss's control capabilities had exceeded his expectations somewhat.

But the battle had to continue.

He needed to deal with Togekiss while it was still in poor condition.

Otherwise, the battles ahead would become very difficult.

Thinking of the Pokémon he still had left, Kukui's gaze became even firmer.

He threw a Poké Ball.

Screech—!!

A majestic cry rang out, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind. Crimson feathers fluttered, and vicious talons gleamed with cold light.

"Royal Mask's fifth Pokémon, Braviary!!"

Sharp eagle eyes locked onto Togekiss.

"Togekiss, Charm," Xia Yan called.

"Chaakoi~~"

Togekiss used the same trick again, giving Braviary a pitiful look.

A flicker of reluctance passed through Braviary's steadfast eyes, but it quickly recovered at Kukui's command.

"Braviary, Payback!"

Payback: If an ally has fainted within a certain period of time, this move's power doubles.

For a moment.

As wild winds swept across the field, Braviary spread its wings and shot forward at extreme speed toward Togekiss.

It looked ready to tear Togekiss apart to avenge Magnezone.

Xia Yan's expression paused.

"Baton Pass."

Togekiss turned into a streak of white light, narrowly dodging Braviary's attack, which would have taken it out if it landed.

"Braviary, Bulk Up!"

Seeing Togekiss recalled, Kukui showed no regret and swiftly changed tactics.

Braviary struck a pose in midair with its mighty body, as
