Meanwhile, in Mossdeep City...
Courtney's confidence soared!
"Hehehe~ Little Brats~ Think about that strange weather earlier. Doesn't it tell you something~ Hmph! Honchkrow! Keep using Dark Pulse! Talonflame! Heat Wave! Houndoom! Shadow Ball!"
Standing atop a tall building, Courtney stroked Mightyena's fur, with a Houndoom beside her! She watched the weary twin Gym Leaders on the opposite rooftop with a mocking expression.
Flames burned throughout the city, and battles raged in every corner of Mossdeep City.
The twin Gym Leaders were certainly strong, but as Trainers who specialized in Psychic types, they were actually being suppressed by Courtney now...
Lunatone and Gallade were covered in wounds. Only Gardevoir was still in decent shape, while Solrock, focused on defense, had taken heavy damage and was on its last legs.
The red gust whipped up a wave of scorching heat that swept toward them!
Amid the searing heat, Solrock was about to move forward when a black ball of energy shot toward it, interrupting its movement.
It was Dark Pulse!
"Solrock! Use Rock Slide to block it!!"
"Gardevoir! Psycho Cut! Push Heat Wave into the sky!"
"Lunatone! Rock Tomb! Protect Gardevoir."
"Gallade! Leaf Blade!"
Psychic power erupted instantly! Purple Confusion enveloped Heat Wave and, under Gardevoir's control, twisted into a red whirlwind that swept skyward, successfully stopping the attack and even disrupting Honchkrow's movements!
Huge quantities of rock rose up, rapidly gathering from the shattered building. They not only blocked one Dark Pulse after another, but also formed a wall of rubble in front of Gardevoir!
At the very front, Gallade had just leaped up. Emerald light flashed along its arm blades, forming sharp edges that slashed viciously into Shadow Ball.
Boom!!!
A violent explosion rang out, and the resulting surge of energy sent it flying!
The next second, another Purple-Black Shadow
