Endurance Was the Purest Fighting Art!

The halftime break ended quickly.

The match continued.

After being soaked by rain and baked by flames, the Grass Field had now completely turned into a Sand Field. It was full of potholes, with some areas covered in mud and sand while others had dried up and cracked.

It was as ugly as could be.

—But that didn't affect the match.

At the moment, Heiduo still had two unscathed Pokémon: Electivire, which had taken one kick, and Charizard, which was already exhausted and wouldn't recover for at least an hour.

Charizard could still be sent out, but it probably wouldn't be able to pull off anything impressive.

On Longxing's side, she had two unscathed Pokémon and Blaziken, which had spent a tiny bit of stamina and was afflicted with [Paralysis].

The weather was currently Sunny Day. Fire-type moves had their power boosted by one and a half times, and Paralysis only reduced speed. It would have made no sense for Longxing not to send out Blaziken...

Sure enough.

Heiduo watched Blaziken fly out of its Poké Ball and land on the ground, then swiftly recalled Charizard and sent out Electivire instead.

He was exceptionally decisive.

During the halftime break, Scizor had said it wanted to go out because it wanted a Mega-versus-Mega fight. Heiduo had told it about every Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, and it had remembered them all firmly.

But later, Heiduo told it that he suspected Longxing's Mawile was her true Mega ace.

Why?

Just look at Longxing's team.

Not to mention the Pseudo-Legendary and Lucario—Aegislash, Blaziken, Mimikyu, and Noivern. Which one of them wasn't badass?

Longxing sure as hell didn't seem like the type to train Mawile past level sixty just because it looked cute!

Although he hadn't noticed any trace of a Mega Stone on
