Attacks of every type flew across the battlefield as both sides showed off the depth of their Move Pools.
But as the battle continued, Meownei's advantage steadily grew.
Pokémon received a bonus when using moves of their own type, making them more powerful than moves of other types.
With Dragonite's Dragon-type attacks completely nullified by the Fairy type, Dragonite could only rely on Flying-type moves to fight.
A Dragon-type Trainer had been forcibly turned into a Flying-type Trainer.
But when Meownei broke through the Hurricane Dragonite had created and landed the final strike of Triple Axel on Dragonite's head, the battle came to an end.
"Meow. (This Dragonite was pretty strong. Beating this one took a bit of effort.)"
After the battle, Meownei clapped her hands and offered her usual assessment of the match.
Fortunately, Dragonite didn't hear her. Otherwise, Dragonite might have sat straight back up and angrily unleashed Outrage, attacking everything in sight.
After all, Dragonite had fought with everything available, only to be described as taking "a bit of effort."
"That was a wonderful match, but I'm still curious about why there's such a huge gap in strength between your Pokémon. A Meowscarada this strong shouldn't be farming prize money in Gym battles. There are bigger stages out there waiting for you.
I look forward to seeing you at the Donghuang Conference."
She wasn't planning to compete herself, but to host it. At his current rate, Xin Mu was bound to earn a place at the Conference.
Even if he entered with only Meowscarada, Xin Mu would breeze through unless he landed in a group of death and faced several monsters in a row. That was her assessment.
"Thank you for the compliment. Meownei is a special case. Once everyone else has grown stronger, I'll naturally enter."
