Spectral energy like the shadows of vengeful spirits seeped into its body as the Shadow Ball exploded.
Even with its steel body, Archaludon could not help letting out a low whinny of pain.
Drayton, however, paid that no mind. His gaze pierced the curtain of rain, which had already stopped falling, and fixed on the far end of the electric beam.
There, struck by that terrifyingly powerful beam, Misdreavus let out an even sharper cry of agony, just as he had expected!
The corners of Drayton's mouth rose.
That's right. Just like that!
Misdreavus might hit hard, but so what?
Like I said, my Archaludon's Special Attack, HP, and Special Defense are all higher than yours!
Wait, scratch Special Defense.
But that hardly matters. I won this clash of moves!
He was about to order Archaludon to continue attacking with [Snarl] when a chorus of startled cries from every direction interrupted his thoughts.
What happened?
Drayton looked over in bewilderment. On the battlefield, where the wind and rain had already ceased, countless specks of green energy linked into threads, continuously transferring some kind of energy from Archaludon into Misdreavus!
With that energy pouring in, Misdreavus's injuries healed at a bizarre, astonishing speed!
What the hell is that?
Drayton was dumbfounded.
His eyes told him this was a form of "life drain," similar to moves such as [Giga Drain] and [Draining Kiss].
His brain told him that Misdreavus had clearly just used Shadow Ball, which had absolutely nothing to do with those damage-dealing recovery moves!
And his instincts told him that this battle was probably about to head in a direction he could never have imagined.
Meanwhile, in the Dedenne Live Room.
Iono's mouth hung open. The astonishment on her face was no less pronounced than Drayton's on the battlefield
