"Roo-tah!"
Amid an enraged roar, Dragapult spun skyward.
Thunder raced through the pitch-black clouds, and the continuous heavy booms struck at people's hearts like drumbeats.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three muffled claps of thunder, followed by three bolts of lightning!
Shiny Milotic neither dodged nor evaded. Its blooming tail fin spun, drawing forth boundless rainbow light that caught every bolt of lightning rushing toward it.
At the same time, it converted them into energy for its own use—
Then abruptly fired it back!
Rumble—!!
The terrifying energy storm made the air tremble violently, blurring everything within sight.
It was as though the world itself were twisting.
Even from dozens of meters away, the Draconids and dragons watching the battle could still feel that dreadful power.
Some of the weaker Dragon-type Pokémon panicked in terror, desperately crying out, only for their futile voices to be mercilessly swallowed by the explosion of energy.
"Is that Mirror Coat? I remember Mirror Coat was supposed to return attacks in their original form, wasn't it?"
Lianzuo shouted into Zhen Ya's ear.
Just as he said, ordinary Mirror Coat generally took the form of the opponent's move.
But it possessed no type itself; it was simply Milotic enduring damage.
Yet the lightning Dragapult had unleashed had turned into an energy storm, truly exceeding his understanding.
Zhen Ya was unconcerned. "Lianzuo! You're making a fuss over nothing! Baimu's Milotic was taught by Wallace and Teacher Juan! Those three are all top-tier Coordinators!"
Coordinators excelled at altering known moves. That had never been any secret.
Looking back into the arena, although turning the lightning into a pure energy storm dispersed its force, it also increased its area of effect.
And against a highly mobile Pokémon like Dragapult, having a sufficiently large area was extremely important!
Frankly speaking, Socially Awkward
