Blaziken vs. Urshifu (Half-Hour Revision)

"Whoosh—"

The wind howled through the canyon.

Nature had provided a remarkably fine battleground for Pokemon eager to fight.

Blaziken and Urshifu stood at opposite ends, both brimming with fighting spirit.

Tetsuya, who had somehow become the referee, rubbed his nose, utterly helpless.

Still.

For two Fighting-type Pokemon, this sort of situation seemed perfectly normal.

"Then, the battle between Blaziken and Urshifu begins now!"

At Tetsuya's command.

The two Pokemon went from stillness to motion in an instant, becoming afterimages as they charged at one another.

Adhering to the principles of fairness, impartiality, and openness.

Blaziken would not be using Mega Evolution in this battle.

After all, Mega Evolution drew heavily upon a trainer's power. The side without it would be at quite a disadvantage.

Both were at Elite Four Level, and Tetsuya was curious to see just how far Urshifu could push the current Blaziken.

As for winning.

Since Blaziken had defeated it back then, there was no reason it could not defeat it now.

When it came to the speed of improvement, it had never feared anyone.

Boom—

Claws collided with fists.

The resulting airflow blasted the canyon dust in every direction.

"Gallade."

Purple light flickered in Gallade's eyes.

Before any dust could reach Tetsuya and it, it split into two streams and flowed around them.

This allowed Tetsuya to observe the battle more clearly and directly.

"Evenly matched in strength?"

Watching the two Pokemon locked in a stalemate, he made his judgment.

However, the way they displayed that strength was vastly different.

As a Pokemon skilled in kicking techniques, most of Blaziken's power was concentrated in its legs.

Its claws were certainly not weak, but compared to its legs, they were on an entirely different level.

Urshifu, on the other hand.

Classified as the Kung Fu Pokemon
