Zhang Cheng watched the battlefield with burning anticipation. This was Mega Diancie's chance to prove herself.
If she could defeat Xerneas, she would be the undisputed strongest Fairy-type Pokémon.
"Mega Diancie, use Diamond Storm again!"
Although Xerneas's influence had enveloped the battlefield in a Fairy Aura, he still chose to have Mega Diancie attack with a Rock-type move.
Mega Diancie's Physical Attack was extremely high now. Choosing a Fairy-type move would actually deal less damage than a physical Rock-type move.
Another factor was that Xerneas had just boosted its Special Defense with Geomancy, so special moves would not be very effective against it either.
At his command, Mega Diancie once again deftly created a mass of diamond-shaped energy constructs behind her, then fired them at Xerneas.
"Xerneas, use Moonblast!"
With its Special Attack boosted and the Fairy Aura empowering it, Xerneas's offensive power had also reached an astonishing level.
Bai Yuling chose to have Xerneas clash head-on with Mega Diancie to see whose move was stronger.
A powerful Moonblast erupted, colliding with Mega Diancie's Diamond Storm under Xerneas's control.
After an intense clash, Mega Diancie's Diamond Storm proved stronger, forcing its way through Xerneas's Moonblast.
Dense Rock-type energy struck Xerneas's body, stripping away a quarter of its HP.
The two Pokémon now had very similar amounts of HP remaining. Mega Diancie had also lost some HP in her earlier battles, so she had merely erased her disadvantage.
In this battle, Mega Diancie's strongest move was not Light of Ruin, but her physical Rock-type moves, backed by her high Physical Attack.
The held item Zhang Cheng had given Mega Diancie was a Hard Stone, which also increased the power of Rock-type moves.
As long as Mega Diancie retained her three Swords Dance boosts, the opposing Xerneas would gain nothing from a
