If it had been one of Xu Mu's Pokémon, it might still have dodged.
Ho-Oh watched with worry.
It wasn't just about that.
The atmosphere between them alone was startling.
Charizard had to use all his strength to dodge Zygarde's attacks.
But dodging Zygarde's attacks seemed as easy as eating and drinking to Charizard.
In that instant, the difference between them became obvious.
