"Luxray, Wild Charge!"
As Elesa pointed forward, Luxray raised its head with a low growl. Every hair on its body stood on end, and golden sparks surged wildly across its body, the current denser and more violent than its earlier Discharge.
It pushed off with all four feet, hurtling toward Jolteon like a golden meteor.
This time, it was faster than ever before!
Its fury at being repeatedly evaded, its frustration at being steadily worn down by Swift-Luxray poured all those emotions into this attack.
Its fangs clenched tight, its golden eyes locked on Jolteon as it charged in a straight line with terrifying force!
This time, Xia You did not have Jolteon take it head-on.
"Dodge."
Jolteon's figure once again became a golden afterimage, slipping sideways just as Luxray was about to hit.
Wild Charge skimmed past its fur, the current it stirred up crackling through the air, but still failed to touch it at all.
Luxray charged another dozen meters before barely managing to stop. When it turned around, its breathing had grown noticeably heavier.
"Keep using Wild Charge!" Elesa gave Jolteon no chance to catch its breath.
Luxray charged again.
Golden light hurtled back and forth across the field, one streak after another, each charge fierce, yet each missing by a hair.
Jolteon wove between its charging paths, leaping and turning, its every movement perfectly timed and unhurried.
The girls in the stands watched, dumbfounded.
They had seen Elesa's Luxray crush opponents with Wild Charge, seen it win with a single strike, seen it blast opponents out of the field with overwhelming force.
But they had never seen-never seen a Pokémon escape repeated Wild Charges without so much as a hair being touched!
"That's impossible..." someone in the stands murmured.
"It's too fast. Luxray can't catch it
