Skill Swap

The Thunder Wave spread forward, forming ring after ring of circular ripples of light.

Under Gastrodon and Mira's puzzled gazes, it did not fall upon the former. Instead, it formed a shining sphere above Gastrodon's head before releasing an intense, blinding flash.

Bang!

The Thunder Wave exploded into countless wildly dancing silver snakes. The arena, somewhat dim beneath the overcast sky, became dazzlingly bright in an instant, like a flashbang tearing through the darkness!

Gastrodon and Mira, whose curiosity had made them focus too much on Chansey, were both briefly blinded. One shook its head while the other rubbed her eyes, trying to regain her sight.

Vivian's excited voice rang throughout the venue.

"I can't believe it! Thunder Wave was only a bait move! Gastrodon and Miss Mira took the bait and were unfortunately hit!"

Mira's score was immediately deducted on the scoreboard.

Once the blindness finally faded, Gastrodon and Mira discovered that Chansey was already quite close—only four or five steps away by sight.

The urgency made her shout:

"Water Pulse!"

A glowing blue water sphere swiftly formed before Gastrodon and shot toward Chansey, but pale pink light lit up around Chansey's body first.

"Skill Swap!"

The pink light entered Gastrodon's body, drew something out from within it, and then flowed into Chansey's body.

Bang!

The Water Pulse blossomed like a flower, forming surging waves that crashed against Chansey, yet it did not harm Chansey at all after she gained the Water Absorb Ability.

The water flowed like twisting water snakes around Chansey's body, with a small portion entering her body and raising her Special Attack.

What a gorgeous scene!

A brilliant maneuver that turned the opponent's attack into a means of strengthening herself!

Though Chansey's performance was somewhat immature, nearly a third of Mira's points were still deducted.
