A hit at point-blank range!
The towering azure jet of water was crystal clear. When it burst apart, it bloomed like a dazzling, multicolored flower.
But Caitlin was in no mood to admire it.
"Protect! Break free!"
She shouted, using her psychic power to ease Reuniclus's pain so it could bring its full strength to bear.
Hum!
In an instant.
Her eyes shone with startling brightness. Luminous blue light enveloped her entire body as she floated in midair, her hair streaming in the wind!
The commentator shouted, "Caitlin's psychic power is at full blast!"
The crowd erupted in astonishment!
Under the battle rules of Pokémon Leagues around the world, a trainer's special powers were classified alongside add-on systems such as Mega Evolution and Z-Moves, so their use was generally permitted.
But one rule was crucial: they could not directly affect an opponent or their Pokémon.
"Reee—ssee—"
Reuniclus let out a piercing cry.
With Caitlin's added support, it gradually forced Milotic's thick tail apart with its powerful arms.
That brief opening let it use Protect.
The pale blue barrier made it difficult for Milotic to keep hold of Reuniclus, allowing it to escape.
It fled quickly. As a Pokémon that used psychic power to counteract gravity, its movement speed rose with the strength of that power.
With Caitlin's support, it was already four or five meters away in the blink of an eye.
The commentator exclaimed, "It broke free! Reuniclus is moving like the wind!"
"Tougher than I thought?"
Baimu was rather surprised.
He knew Caitlin's Reuniclus could take a beating, but surviving a Hydro Pump in the rain exceeded his expectations.
Bind's damage barely amounted to anything, especially after Reuniclus had sharply raised its Defense with Acid Armor.
Too bad you won't get a chance to use Recover.
