The moment Mach Punch reached him, Absol twisted aside to dodge, then slammed hard into Infernape, his whole body enveloped in white light.
Ye Qing gave a foxlike smile. "Detect, huh? Very good.
"In that case, we'll use Encore!"
A mysterious power shrouded Infernape's eyes as he stared straight at Absol.
"Sol."
After Infernape looked at him, Absol felt something go wrong inside his body. He actually couldn't use any move other than Detect.
"Keep using Mach Punch."
Ye Qing knew the second Detect still had a fairly high chance of succeeding, so he planned to test the waters with Mach Punch.
Mach Punch was fast and packed a decent punch, making it perfect for probing his opponent.
"Cha!"
Infernape swung his arm, his fist whistling through the air toward Absol.
Absol's eyes once again saw through Infernape's move, and he calmly leaped backward to dodge.
"Mach Punch!"
Infernape strode forward and hurled another punch at Absol!
Absol tried Detect again, but this time it failed, and the punch knocked him to the ground.
"Finish him!"
Infernape understood immediately. He gathered power for Focus Punch, and leaves and loose stones rose off the ground.
He threw a punch, unleashing a savage burst of power. Stones and scattered leaves flew everywhere as Absol, who had only just stood up, was sent flying over ten meters!
With a crash, dust billowed everywhere.
Absol hit the ground hard. Already fragile, he had long since passed out under the successive heavy blows.
Ye Qing promptly took out the Healing Spray, regretting that he hadn't prepared some Dark-type Pokéblocks beforehand. Otherwise, he could surely have earned another round of goodwill.
Latios and Latias gathered around and released Heal Pulse from their bodies.
"Voir."
Gardevoir crouched beside her trainer, looking at Absol with some concern.
