A Contest of Skill

The two Combusken's fists, wrapped in Fighting-type energy, slammed violently into each other in rapid succession with a dull boom. A shockwave spread outward from the point where their fists collided!

After the brief exchange, both were jolted back by the recoil and hopped a step backward to unload the force. In their first clash, neither seemed inferior in strength!

Xinhai's pupils contracted slightly. What fast reactions and punching speed!

"Combusken, show them the results of our special training!" Xinhai's voice was calm and powerful.

Brawly's Combusken struck first, launching a fierce kick straight at Xinhai's Combusken's face with a whistling rush of air!

Xinhai's Combusken reacted with incredible speed, twisting aside and narrowly evading it.
