Wyndon Stadium.
Amid the crowd's passionate cheers, Blue and Leon's match had already begun.
Blue had drawn first blood, using Arcanine's Flare Blitz to take down Mr. Rime at the cost of some stamina.
After U-turn and Roar, the matchup had shifted to Scizor against Inteleon.
Inteleon had the advantage in speed,
but Scizor could use Bullet Punch's priority to accelerate.
Blue's Scizor had also undergone specialized training to use the wind to boost its speed.
Scizor landed firmly, its red armor gleaming cold and hard beneath the stadium lights.
Opposite it, Inteleon stood proudly, radiating absolute elegance and composure.
"Inteleon, Dark Pulse!"
Inteleon raised a hand in a finger-gun gesture, swiftly firing rings of pitch-black, malicious energy.
"Scizor, Dual Wingbeat!"
The insect wings on Scizor's back vibrated fiercely, unleashing a burst of speed that belied its heavy body,
turning it into a streak of red light that deftly zigzagged out of Dark Pulse's straight-line path,
its pincers sweeping like wings as it struck Inteleon twice in succession!
"Dual Wingbeat connected!!"
"What incredible speed!"
Clearly, even Leon hadn't expected Scizor to be this fast.
Leon immediately changed tactics,
"Get some distance! Ice Beam!"
Inteleon leaped backward at speed, gathering icy energy at its fingertip cold enough to freeze the air itself!
Blue knew just how dangerous that attack was,
"Don't give it a chance! Bullet Punch!"
The enormous silver metallic fist struck first despite moving second, slamming into Inteleon before it could fully fire Ice Beam!
Inteleon's attack was interrupted before it could finish unleashing it, but it raised its hand and fired another Ice Beam.
"This time, Ice Beam connected!"
Leon seized the instant Scizor stiffened after taking Ice Beam. "Now! Snipe Shot!"
A highly compressed water bullet shot straight toward Scizor's chest like a round leaving a gun
