Wyndon Stadium.
Blue ordered Machamp to use Thunder Punch.
Golden lightning coiled around Machamp's upper left arm as he unleashed an all-out punch.
This move could no longer be called Thunder Punch.
Spark Punch would have been a better name.
The Thunder Punch Machamp unleashed actually left his body as a fist of lightning, heading straight for Sirfetch'd!
"Brutal Swing, redirect the force!"
Sirfetch'd neither dodged nor ducked. Facing the incoming lightning fist, he traced a smooth arc with his leek sword.
He caught Machamp's lightning fist precisely, drawing it along with a turn of his wrist. Using his shield as a pivot, he twisted fluidly to the side.
He diverted that violent lightning power, sending it skimming past his body to blast a charred patch into the ground.
This was Force Redirection infused with the Softness Secret.
"What a brilliant deflection! COOL!"
Jason couldn't help standing up.
"Dynamic Punch!"
Blue's next attack followed immediately.
The muscles in Machamp's right forearm bulged, Fighting-type energy compressed tightly as he drove straight in with unstoppable momentum.
Dynamic Punch was immensely powerful and could cause confusion.
And with No Guard, it was guaranteed to hit!
"Brutal Swing, counterattack!"
Although both were Brutal Swing,
the moves were different.
Sirfetch'd's gaze sharpened, and his previously gentle swordplay abruptly turned fierce and explosive!
Instead of retreating, Sirfetch'd advanced. Brilliant white light shone on his leek sword as he met offense with offense, slashing straight into the oncoming Dynamic Punch.
This time, it was the Hardness Secret in a head-on clash!
Clang!
**Boom-**as sword and fist collided, a metallic crash rang out amid an explosion of energy.
Within the explosion, Sirfetch'd was driven several steps back, but he successfully dispersed part of Dynamic Punch's force and avoided a direct hit.
Machamp swayed.
A white mark remained on
