"First came Psybeam, followed by Draining Kiss, and finally Magical Leaf to finish! Wow, what a beautiful combo! Mr. Mime is down! Faced with Gardevoir's surging attacks, it couldn't resist at all!"
The commentator spoke at lightning speed, conveying the outcome with perfect clarity to the spectators.
Just now, after more than a dozen rounds of fierce fighting, Gardevoir had clearly proven the more skilled of the two and ultimately won the match.
Looking at Mr. Mime lying before it, Gardevoir merely panted a few times, with only a handful of injuries across its body.
Outside the field, the spectators marveled and applauded the spectacular battle.
But when those cheers reached Giselle's ears, her face turned pale, and even her fingers trembled slightly.
This is bad!
She had never imagined that even Mr. Mime, her most trusted and strongest Pokémon, would lose!
From catching her first Pokémon to entering the Pokémon Research School and right up to the present, everything had gone smoothly for her. When had she ever been forced into such a desperate situation?!
For a moment, her mind was a jumble. Only when the referee reminded her did she snap out of it and recall the unconscious Mr. Mime into its Poké Ball.
What should I do now?
Giselle gritted her teeth. After a long hesitation, she finally sent out her third Pokémon.
As the Poké Ball opened, a Scyther appeared before Xia You.
Seeing that it wasn't some rare Pokémon, the spectators were disappointed, and even the commentator could hardly conceal the letdown in his voice.
"Ah... so it's a Scyther! Still, that's fine. Though it isn't as dazzling as that Shiny Mr. Mime, I imagine that by choosing to send it out at a time like this, Giselle must have tremendous confidence in its strength!"
