"Dragonair, Thunderbolt!"
After putting some distance between themselves and their opponents again, Xiao Ran and Veranica called out at the same time.
Boom! Thunder rumbled through the clouds as endless lightning descended from the sky, enveloping Milotic and keeping Cinccino and Hawlucha from approaching.
At the same time, a melodious song actually pierced the thunder, reaching both Pokémon's ears with perfect clarity.
With the boost from Competitive, even Thunderbolt's roar could not stop Disarming Voice from carrying. Both Pokémon felt their vision grow hazy as their minds suffered a tremendous shock.
With four stages of Special Attack boosts, Disarming Voice reached unprecedented power. A Sound-type move that should have taken effect gradually instead struck with the force of Psychic.
Yet neither Chubby nor the Girl beside him had any good answer to this. Quite apart from Hawlucha's weakness to Electric-type attacks, even Cinccino did not dare charge into Thunderbolt's mass of lightning. In fact, no Pokémon would have dared rush recklessly into it.
Flying up to drag Dragonair down again would not be easy either. Dragonair was now hidden among the clouds, surrounded by thunder and lightning. It was even more dangerous up there than around Milotic.
"They're surrounding them without attacking. If Thunderbolt actually struck those two Pokémon, they might throw caution to the wind and charge in. But with it only circling the perimeter, the fire hasn't reached them yet, so they don't dare go in!" Qiu Yuxuan said with a chuckle as she watched the situation on the field.
Hawlucha and Cinccino circled outside, enduring the mental impact of Disarming Voice, but never quite dared commit to charging into the sea of lightning. Chubby and the Girl were equally helpless. Under Dragonair's control, Thunderbolt was so densely packed that they did not dare order their Pokémon inside
