Blaziken leaped high into the air and dove down from midair, its right leg wreathed in flames as it kicked toward Medicham.
Yano Keisuke's pupils constricted at the sight. He made a snap decision. "Espeon, Reflect! Medicham, Fire Mega Punch!"
The gem on Espeon's forehead lit up with a deep purple glow, and an energy wall formed of purple crystals rapidly unfolded along Blaziken's descent path.
Fine patterns flowed across the energy wall's surface. Every pattern constantly rotated and intertwined, distributing its defensive power across every corner.
Medicham's fists ignited with crimson flames, mixed with the milky-white radiance of Normal-type energy. The two types of energy intertwined and fused over its knuckles, becoming as viscous and searing as magma.
