Double-Edge!
A Normal-type physical move that attacked the opponent with a reckless, all-out charge.
Aside from its type, it was exactly the same as the earlier [Brave Bird].
After Floragato used [Thunder Punch] to become an Electric type, its resistance was simply too high, forcing Aoki to choose [Double-Edge].
Although [Shadow Claw] could likewise grant complete immunity to it, the immunity between Normal and Ghost types went both ways.
With Staraptor now on the defensive, Aoki would actually have preferred it if Floragato used [Shadow Claw] to avoid the clash.
But Xia Chi clearly had no intention of changing his mind.
His command remained unchanged. Floragato's crimson eyes narrowed, and it instantly hurtled toward Staraptor like a bolt of emerald lightning.
At the tip of that bolt, the dazzling golden electricity shone even brighter than before!
Meanwhile, Staraptor had steadied itself in the air.
Its gaze remained defiant as it watched Floragato rush toward it. Enduring the pain and paralysis inflicted by the electricity, it fiercely beat its heavy wings.
Blinding white light erupted across its body like its blazing fighting spirit. Gathering every ounce of strength, Staraptor let out a piercing cry and charged once more!
Boom-
Wings blazing with searing white light crashed into a straight Thunder Punch bursting with golden electricity!
Light bright enough to momentarily blind everyone swallowed everything, followed by a terrifying roar that reverberated through every corner of the Treasure Eatery's dining hall!
Violent currents of energy swept clouds of dust in every direction!
The energy unleashed by the two Pokémon's third head-on clash nearly made the energy barrier surrounding the entire Battlefield crackle apart.
Web-like cracks spread in an instant. The barrier's light flickered frantically, on the verge of shattering!
Inside the Treasure Eatery, the spectators stared in utter disbelief.
*Sure, getting to
