Shalour City, the Battle Festival venue.
The friendly match between Steven and Wikstrom was still underway.
Facing Scizor's head-on X-Scissor, Steven raised his arm and called out:
"Heavy Slam!"
Mega Aggron roared and charged forward like a steel tank!
Every heavy footfall battered the battlefield, each step seeming to land on the spectators' hearts.
Heavy Slam collided with X-Scissor!
Rumble-
It was a collision of the rawest, most brutal kind.
Even if Aggron had to take the move head-on, Aggron would repay it with an even fiercer counterattack!
That was how Steven and Aggron fought, and it was indeed an excellent approach.
Scizor's crossed blades slammed into Aggron's body!
A mushroom cloud suddenly rose into the air. A blinding ring of energy exploded outward, instantly engulfing the center of the battlefield!
The deafening blast made the spectators cover their ears, and the terrifying impact even activated the protective shield around the stands.
Li Wei called to Farfetch'd:
"How does that feel?"
"Quack, quack!"
(So cool! I want to be like a knight too!)
Farfetch'd's eyes sparkled.
Duckling wanted to charge opponents head-on just like Scizor and Aggron!
Like a proud, solitary knight.
The stalemate lasted only an instant.
The overwhelming advantage in strength granted by sheer weight became clear.
Although Mega Scizor's X-Scissor struck Aggron precisely,
Mega Aggron's special training allowed Aggron to withstand the slash through sheer toughness.
The tremendous recoil from the collision, combined with Heavy Slam's terrifying momentum,
sent Mega Scizor flying like a cannonball, crashing into the wall at the edge of the battlefield,
blasting a web of cracks into the wall. Scizor fell helplessly to the ground, half-buried in rubble.
"Scizor!"
Distressed cries rose from the stands.
As the Kalos Region's Steel-type Elite Four member, Wikstrom was quite popular, especially since he enjoyed mentoring newcomers.
