Conkeldurr showed just how steady he was right from the start.
He planted his two concrete pillars in the ground and buffed himself with a combination of Focus Energy and Bulk Up.
Across from him, Heliolisk charged forward with a swaggering gait that looked bizarre but was actually blisteringly fast!
Wherever he passed, electric arcs rose from the ground, standing vertically between earth and sky!
Like pillars of thunder, they sprang up across the entire field as Heliolisk moved!
"Thunderous Momentum!"
He strode through the thunder, scattering electricity across the earth!
Bathed in lightning, Heliolisk spread the frill around his neck. Like an orange sun suffused with golden electricity, it erupted with searing energy.
Yong smiled in surprise and said softly,
"To think it's a power assault type Force Domain Power!"
Grant rested both arms behind his head and said lazily,
"It's probably geared toward explosive power and swift attacks... too bad. Against you, it would be completely shut down..."
Yong chuckled but did not argue.
Indeed, a fast-attacking Pokémon like Heliolisk stood no chance against his partners... that was not boasting, but a clear understanding of and confidence in Steelix and the others' strength.
Besides, even the steady Conkeldurr Korrina had sent out probably would not fall for this approach.
Sure enough, faced with Heliolisk's intimidating assault, Conkeldurr remained unhurried. Fully buffed, his wrinkled old face positively glowed!
Crimson streams of force wound around his body, while a thick tide of brown energy covered the outermost layer!
Dark gray stone walls quietly spread along the two concrete pillars, gradually becoming illusory walls that surrounded Conkeldurr... a heavy presence surged outward, and his stance grew even steadier!
A moment later, furious thunder rushed toward him. Heliolisk produced countless afterimages, charging in from every direction amid the constant shriek of lightning!
