Ignoring Meowscarada's interference at its side, Koraidon focused all its attention on facing Ogerpon's terrifying, calamity-like blow.
The next instant, Ogerpon charged in with the power of Play Rough!
Despite having prepared to meet the attack, Koraidon still took the terrifying blow squarely on its crossed arms!
Boom-
A deafening explosion far more terrifying than the last erupted!
A destructive shock wave of energy spread wildly once more, like a tangible tsunami.
The hard ground beneath Koraidon's feet, studded with Terastal crystals, instantly crumbled to dust.
Its massive body was hurled away again by an irresistible force, slamming toward the distant rock wall like a kite with its string cut!
Yet at the very instant it was sent flying, the Counter it had been preparing triggered!
A terrifying torrent of Fighting-type energy, carrying twice the damage it had just suffered, surged back toward Ogerpon like a destructive sea bursting through a dam!
Its horrifying power seemed capable of annihilating everything in its path!
This lethal counterattack, powerful enough to gravely injure or even instantly defeat most Legendary Pokémon, was about to engulf Ogerpon.
At that critical moment-
A phantom-like figure appeared as though it had teleported, positioning itself with perfect precision between Ogerpon and the destructive torrent!
It was Meowscarada!
At that moment, her type had already changed to Ghost-type through Protean.
The torrent of Fighting-type energy, powerful enough to shatter mountains and split stone, evaporated into nothing like mist beneath the blazing sun the instant it touched Meowscarada's body!
She was completely immune to Counter!
Meowscarada landed lightly, shadows flickering between her claws. She glanced back at Koraidon, which had smashed another huge crater into the distant wall, then silently returned to Xia Chi's side.
This Koraidon clearly lacked the deep reserves of Xia Chi's good buddy Groudon.
