Battle in Progress

The heat waves kicked up by several Flamethrowers made the already scorching desert battlefield feel even more hostile.

Anabel and Greta's foreheads were covered in sweat, yet neither dared spare even a moment to wipe it away.

"Xatu/Claydol, dodge!"

They shouted in perfect unison.

Both Pokémon indeed reacted.

One flew high into the sky, while the other rapidly descended.

As long as their completely different directions made their opponents hesitate for even an instant, their goal would be achieved.

This was also one perfect display of the twins' tacit understanding.

Being able to make such reactions and coordinate on the spot without communication was something many people dreamed of.

Unfortunately.

Blaziken would not make such an obvious mistake.

It decisively focused every attack on Xatu.

In terms of typing, the opposing two Pokémon had the same resistance to Fire-type moves; there was no question of one being more disadvantaged than the other.

But as the saying went.

Better to break one finger than injure ten.

In a Double Battle, once one Pokémon on a team lost its combat capability,

the difficulty for the other to defeat two opponents alone was indeed considerable.

Besides.

Compared with Claydol,

Xatu was still significantly weaker in terms of defense.

Naturally, it was the more suitable target.

In other words.

This was also a display of Tetsuya and Blaziken's exceptionally rich battle experience.

Although they had merely made a few simple choices, and the scene had nothing at all to do with being flashy,

what it revealed was the strength of the three Elite Four Level Trainers on the field in the smallest details.

"Xia Mo."

As the Flamethrowers converged and surrounded Xatu,

Blaziken closed its mouth after releasing the flames, then pushed off the ground with both legs and ran out at "high speed."
