White light flashed repeatedly beside Weigelide as Magnezone, Probopass, Escavalier, Bisharp, Scizor, and a whole host of Steel-type Pokémon appeared.
"Metagross, Scizor, Mega Evolve."
Weigelide gave the command quietly, his eyes fixed on the pitch-black forest ahead.
Although Metagross and Scizor evolved silently, the fleeting white light still caught Ye Qing's attention.
"Infernape, Garchomp... Aggron, Mega Evolve!"
After considerable hesitation, Ye Qing chose Aggron instead of having Gengar Mega Evolve.
That was because Gengar would have difficulty hiding after Mega Evolution, weakening the defenses around him.
Staying alive was always the most important thing in a Trainer battle. Otherwise, even if your Pokémon won, what would be the point?
"Ah-cha!"
After completing its Bond Phenomenon transformation, Infernape immediately sprang up a tall tree to keep watch.
Mega Aggron cleared the way ahead, stomping the obstructing brambles to pieces and tearing through vines with a swipe of his claws.
Gengar hid in Ye Qing's shadow, ready for action, while Gardevoir released her psychic power to keep scanning their surroundings as a precaution.
Mega Garchomp brought up the rear, his ferocious gaze constantly sweeping their surroundings.
Ye Qing walked among the Pokémon, hesitating over whether to let Diancie out now.
At the Elite Four Trainer level, Mega Diancie was absolutely invincible, but there was one fatal drawback.
The energy fluctuations of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon could be detected. The moment Diancie appeared, his coordinates would risk being exposed.
He was now alone, deep in enemy territory. If anyone discovered him, he would undoubtedly be surrounded and hunted down.
So Ye Qing did not want to gamble. He would rather keep Diancie in reserve as his trump card.
As they continued closing in on their target, the killing intent around them grew stronger.
Unknown dangers lurked in the pitch-black forest ahead.
