Amid splashing water, Machamp and Hitmonchan collided.
The two Pokémon traded punches, one attacking while the other defended, one striking while the other dodged. In just over ten seconds, they had already thrown nearly a hundred punches!
But ultimately, two fists were no match for four hands. Even though Hitmonchan punched fast enough to leave afterimages, its disadvantage in the number of arms soon gave Machamp the upper hand.
This was also a sheer difference in strength. Against a Pokémon Trainer from a remote island like this, a Gym Leader's ace Pokémon had no intention of playing fair.
It was an overwhelming mismatch!
And it was not the only one. After their initial probing exchanges, the battle between Gardevoir and Walrein was also decided in an instant!
Not just anyone could hold their own against the ace of Xia You's Regular Team.
Although Gardevoir rarely fought and seemed to have little presence, as the Pokémon that had been with Xia You the longest, its strength had grown steadily. It might not match the giant red Gyarados that had undergone an abnormal transformation, or a cheat like Gengar, who had lived for thousands of years, but aside from those two, none of his Regular Team could beat it!
In fact, under normal circumstances, if Yanqingshui had challenged him to an official battle, this Walrein would never have even faced Gardevoir!
After dispersing Walrein's Water Gun, Gardevoir used Psychic again. An invisible attack enveloped Walrein and lifted its entire body into the air.
The interval between Gardevoir's two telekinetic attacks was simply too short, and their speed too great. Yanqingshui had no time to react at all.
In just a moment's distraction, Yanqingshui found his Walrein firmly restrained by telekinetic power!
So fast!
*Since when could a Pokémon like Gardevoir attack again
