Upon hearing the command, Krookodile steadied itself abruptly amid its stagger, then charged forward at a speed completely at odds with its size.
"Heylo!!!"
It slammed its foot against the ground, and a massive dark-red energy sphere rapidly condensed between its claws. Gathering all of Krookodile's strength, it hurled the sphere fiercely at Magneton.
The instant he saw the dark-red energy sphere, Mentor Uehara's pupils constricted slightly. "Use Protect, Magneton!"
A translucent pale-green protective Barrier rapidly unfolded before Magneton. The Aura Sphere struck the Barrier with a dull explosion.
The dark-red Fighting energy and emerald-green protective energy fiercely clashed and canceled each other out at the point of contact. The Barrier shook violently twice, but ultimately withstood the attack before dissolving into tiny motes of light.
Having had its final attack blocked, Krookodile had reached its limit. Its legs weakened slightly, and it breathed heavily and rapidly.
Noticing this, Mentor Uehara immediately commanded, "Magneton, Magnet Bomb."
The glow of electricity around Magneton had dimmed considerably, but it once again gathered the Steel-type and Electric-type energy within its body. A golden-white Magnet Bomb burst from its main body and struck the nearby Krookodile with precision.
The Magnet Bomb exploded against its scales. Krookodile let out a muffled growl, and its body could no longer hold on as it crashed to the ground.
"Krookodile has lost the ability to battle!" After confirming that Krookodile had lost the ability to battle, the referee's flag came down once more.
Xinhai recalled Krookodile, let out a long breath, then removed another Poké Ball from his waist and pressed the release button. "Gardevoir, I'm counting on you."
"Gardevoir!!"
A flash of red light passed, and Gardevoir's graceful figure appeared in the center of the field. Its red eyes calmly regarded Magneton across from it.
