Moltres charged toward Articuno, its entire body wreathed in terrifying flames.
Seeing Moltres charging over, Lin Guang said softly, "Mahāpadma!"
Articuno's entire body lit up with an ice-blue glow that instantly spread outward, freezing all time and space wherever the blue light reached.
But when Moltres charged into this domain, it remained completely unaffected and continued speeding toward Articuno.
At this sight, Lin Guang knew only that the flames on Moltres's body were a move on the same level as Articuno's Mahāpadma, both capable of affecting the surrounding time and space.
Articuno was somewhat surprised and disappointed to see Moltres unaffected, but it was already too late to dodge.
"Reflect!"
Hearing Lin Guang's command, Articuno used Reflect before Moltres reached it.
A transparent wall of light appeared in front of Articuno, but Moltres smashed straight through it and slammed hard into Articuno.
Articuno cried out in pain and flew backward, but quickly steadied itself.
Fortunately, Reflect had blocked half the damage for Articuno. Otherwise, it might already have been defeated.
Lin Guang looked at Mio Takamiya and said softly, "The next move will be the last. If you can withstand it, then I lose this round."
Hearing this, Mio Takamiya smiled slightly and said, "All right, then bring it on."
Lin Guang took a deep breath, then slowly uttered two words.
"Ice Gale!"
Articuno's body lit up with an ice-blue glow once again, only this time it was even deeper.
The ice-blue light detached itself directly from Articuno's body.
A bird formed of ice-blue energy appeared in the air and flew toward Moltres, its blood-red eyes open.
Mio Takamiya could not see anything special about Lin Guang's move, but still responded with her full attention. "Moltres, use Great Fire Annihilation!"
Moltres's unique yellow, white, and red flames instantly swept across
