The point-blank strike left Milotic no time to react as it took its opponent's Giga Impact head-on!
The terrifying impact and immense force blasted Milotic away!
A faint mist lingered nearby. As the rain faded and sunlight emerged, Milotic's scales reflected a rainbow of colors. Despite its terrible condition, it had endured Nidoking's attack without losing consciousness!
Its ability, Marvel Scale, reacted when it was afflicted with a status condition, raising its defense.
Milotic had held on after all.
Bertha Grandmother spoke gravely.
"Nidoking! Don't give it a chance! Use Thunderbolt!"
Golden lightning roared once again!
Electricity crawled over Nidoking's body, then gathered into a powerful current that hurtled toward Milotic!
Cynthia's expression remained unchanged. She swept her hand out and called firmly,
"Mirror Coat!"
Bzzzzzzzz!!!
An almost transparent, mirrored barrier appeared before Milotic! It completely blocked Thunderbolt's electrical blast! Then, as though drawn by some unseen force, the electricity reversed direction and blasted toward Nidoking!
"Nido!!!"
The attack returned with twice its original power. Thunderbolt engulfed Nidoking, but had no effect whatsoever.
At Bertha Grandmother's command, Nidoking charged again. White energy solidified around its body into a gigantic phantom! Its savage aura and vast, white-glowing energy magnified its imposing presence, annihilating the clear qi before it could even approach...
Meanwhile, Aqua Ring's healing finally allowed Milotic to catch its breath.
Seeing its opponent charge again, even the gentle Milotic grew angry.
"Magic Mirror Ice Crystal!"
Snowflakes drifted down, and freezing air spread...
Transparent mirrors quietly appeared in the air. Every mirror faced Nidoking, moving with it and surrounding it at their center!
Rainbow colors shone in Milotic's eyes. Its body danced through the air, and amid rippling water, its figure suddenly appeared in every mirror, each in a different pose!
At the same time, distinct surges of energy erupted!
