Unstoppable

"Medicham, you're up!"

Candice recalled the unconscious Sneasel and sent out a new Pokémon.

"Medicham, huh? Dudunsparce should be strong enough to handle it."

Bai Shi thought it over and decided to keep Dudunsparce on the field.

Even though Medicham was a Fighting- and Psychic-type Pokémon, he still believed Dudunsparce could win.

"Dudunsparce, use Flamethrower!"

The moment the battle resumed, Bai Shi launched a fierce attack.

Defeating Sneasel had fired Dudunsparce up, and it spewed flames hotter than before.

"Nice spirit! Medicham, use Confusion!"

Candice praised him, then ordered Medicham to respond.

A blue glint flashed through Medicham's eyes.

Medicham drew on its psychic power and froze the oncoming Flamethrower in midair.

"Medicham, send those flames right back!"

A smile tugged at Candice's lips as she gave her next command.

Medicham flicked a finger, and the suspended flames immediately reversed course.

Wrapped in psychic power, they flew toward Dudunsparce.

The move caught Dudunsparce off guard.

The returning flames struck Dudunsparce, dealing a little damage.

"Medicham, use Force Palm!"

Candice seized the opening and ordered Medicham to counterattack.

Medicham raised a fist and swung hard, sending a transparent wave of force toward Dudunsparce.

"Dudunsparce, use Drill Peck!"

Rather than avoid Medicham's Force Palm, Bai Shi shouted for Dudunsparce to meet it head-on.

Dudunsparce spun its body into a high-speed drill.

It charged straight into the incoming shock wave.

Medicham's Force Palm was pierced as easily as paper.

Having broken through the shock wave, Dudunsparce kept spinning toward Medicham.

Dudunsparce had grown strong enough to take an opponent head-on without fear.

"Medicham, quick! Use Confusion to stop it!"

Candice's pupils contracted, and she hurriedly shouted the order.

Medicham used Confusion, trying to halt the violently spinning Dudunsparce.

But the effort was in vain.

Dudunsparce remained frozen for only a few seconds before
