"Chomp!"
Garchomp's eyes gleamed as his nose twitched slightly, gathering the complex information within the arena.
When his massive body landed, it kicked up a thin cloud of dust. His fine scales glinted with a cold sheen beneath the sunlight.
He gazed at Sirfetch'd in the distance, radiating an overbearing presence that sent countless spectators into a frenzy of cheers and screams.
The Champion's trump card deserved this level of praise. Even Ash's Pikachu had received plenty of cheers upon taking the field, and his performance had never disappointed those who anticipated it.
The two Pokémon had taken the field in succession, and battle was about to begin!
Ash was the first to shout, "Fury Cutter!"
"Gaah!"
Sirfetch'd tightened his grip on the Leek Sword and charged swiftly at Garchomp. To increase his speed, he even lowered his body, making his movements even swifter!
Cynthia calmly said, "Scale Shot!"
"Chomp!"
Garchomp swung his broad fin blades, his body glowing brightly as countless sharp scales fell from him and shot forward with fierce force!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The purplish-red, silver-sheened scales tore through the air with shrill whistles, rapidly covering every possible avenue of Sirfetch'd's escape!
Yet, faced with such an airtight assault, Sirfetch'd strode forward calmly. His Leek Sword, coated in emerald light, swung at tremendous speed, slicing apart the incoming scales with precision and swiftness.
Bang! Bang! Bang—
The crisp sounds of collision rang out without end. Emerald energy intertwined with the cold gleam of the scales, forming a dense defensive barrier that effortlessly blocked the flying scales.
Smoke burst apart, and Sirfetch'd suddenly charged out. Though scales shattered around him, they could not hinder his steps in the slightest. Instead, Fury Cutter's power continued to multiply.
"Gaah!"
Sirfetch'd suddenly leaped up and swung his sword down at Garchomp
