The instant Dragapult vanished,
Lance went for his classic Dragon Dance again.
Leon only had Dragapult and Charizard left, so there was nothing to worry about. He could boost his Pokémon to his heart's content.
The commentator exclaimed, "Salamence's Dragon Dance succeeded! Its power and speed have increased, and its strength now surpasses Dragapult's!"
When it came to speed, however, Dragapult, known as the high-speed assassin, was still faster.
A moment later, Dragapult burst out of the shadows behind Salamence and launched a surprise attack!
But the boosted Salamence reacted with astonishing speed, taking the hit head-on before swiftly putting some distance between them.
"Dragapult, Dragon Claw!"
Leon pressed his advantage. Two enormous dragon claws formed over Dragapult's little claws as it shot toward Salamence!
"We'll use Dragon Claw too!"
Lance clenched his fist and swept it forward.
Green Dragon-type energy likewise flared around Salamence's forelegs as it flew toward the approaching Dragapult!
Bam-bam-bam-
Dragapult and Salamence wheeled through the sky, their Dragon Claws clashing again and again.
As Salamence and Dragapult tore into each other in midair, every blow landed solidly. Salamence even brought Fire Fang into play.
Dragapult refused to be outdone, sending the Dreepy resting in its launch ports flying out!
Dragon Claw and Dragon Darts VS Dragon Claw and Fire Fang!
Lance's Dragonite proved more agile than expected, actually knocking the Dreepy away in midair!
With that, Salamence had countered Dragon Darts too!
The briefly stunned Dreepy could not possibly carry out Dragon Darts according to Leon's commands.
"Unbelievable!!!"
The commentator's voice was full of disbelief.
Leon commanded again, "Phantom Force!"
Yet a victorious smile appeared on Lance's lips. He waited without making a move until Dragapult appeared.
"Take the hit and use Outrage at close range!"
Salamence's eyes instantly turned crimson,
