"Rillaboom!"
At Leon's command, Rillaboom moved. The muscles in its thick right arm tensed as pure Dark-type energy gathered in its palm, forming a dim black aura.
At the same time, it used its wooden drum as a foothold and sprang toward Gardevoir on the opposite side!
Boom!
Its muscular body cut through the air, covering nearly twenty meters in the blink of an eye before leaping again, crossing the entire field like a triple jump!
Wyndon Stadium had been built over a hundred meters long so Dynamaxed Pokémon could move freely. Even though the two Pokémon were not positioned at opposite ends, they were still sixty or seventy meters apart.
