Buzz!
Pinkish-purple brilliance surged like a tide, instantly flooding the entire Battle Arena.
Beneath the dark clouds.
Everything within sight was cast in an eerie hue.
Mega Heracross glowed purple, as though an invisible giant hand had seized it tightly. It twitched in agony but could not break free.
And at the source of it all.
The transformed Porygon2 floated at the center of a spherical mass of energy, continuously releasing high-energy waves that made the air tremble!
"Break free—"
Aaron's urgent shout cut off abruptly.
Porygon2 suddenly flared with light, and Mega Heracross shot into the sky like an arrow loosed from its bow, dragged upward by an invisible force!
Bang!
A white hexagonal Light Screen suddenly appeared and violently bounced Mega Heracross away. Another Light Screen immediately emerged at an angle, knocking it elsewhere!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dull impacts rang out without end.
In the blink of an eye, it had ricocheted repeatedly like a three-dimensional pinball, leaving clear flight trails throughout the arena.
Finally.
It charged skyward once more, only to be violently knocked down by the Light Screen that had been waiting for it!
After a thunderous boom, the pinkish-purple radiance covering the ground shattered inch by inch, then exploded like cracking glass!
A dazzling white light burst forth!
The surrounding spectators instinctively looked away or raised their hands to shield their eyes, unable to see what was happening in the arena.
A few seconds later.
The intense light gradually faded.
Rotom Drone's voice rang out.
"Heracross is unable to battle. Porygon2 wins. The match will continue!"
In the arena, the sprawled-out Heracross returned to normal.
Gasp!
The crowd erupted in uproar.
What kind of move was that?
Mega Heracross had been defeated that easily?
Aaron looked solemn as he recalled Heracross into its Poké Ball.
