"Although Pupitar is actually a cocoon, it's exceptionally active! Moving with the air currents generated inside its body and unleashing explosive attacks are both part of what makes Pupitar so powerful!"
"Sure enough! Probopass's Flash Cannon missed! Pupitar has taken flight! Oh no... this is... using its detachable Mini-Noses, Probopass has unleashed Fire Punch and Ice Punch!"
"A direct hit... whew! What incredible defense from Pupitar!"
"High Horsepower! Probopass countered it! That's Gravity!"
"A triple Ice Punch! This Probopass is truly gifted! Did it work?"
"Dig! Pupitar has counterattacked with Dig! It's super effective!"
Amid the announcer's shouted commentary, the referee checked Probopass's condition, then decisively declared,
"Probopass is unable to battle! Pupitar wins!"
"Ding! Pupitar won an official battle! Gained 150 Training Points! Gained a large amount of experience!" "Ding! Proficiency increased for Dragon Dance, Iron Defense, High Horsepower, and Dig!"
Looking at the ice crystals lingering on Pupitar's body, Yong inwardly sighed with relief at how close that had been.
He hadn't expected Sif's Probopass to be able to split its attention between two tasks. It had concealed that ability well in the previous matches, only revealing it now and leaving Yong scrambling to respond.
Fortunately, Pupitar was still stronger in raw power!
Across from him, Sif recalled Probopass. With a calm expression, she looked at the Pokémon Ball in her hand and murmured something softly, then returned it to her waist and took out another Poké Ball.
It was a special, Ice Blue Poké Ball decorated with snowflake patterns!
Without the slightest hesitation, Sif opened it right in her hand!
Pop!
Light shimmered, and a streak shot upward. The dazzling glow rapidly spread through the air, gradually taking the shape of a Pokémon.
Gasps suddenly swept through the entire arena... even the announcer fell silent
