Lightning twisted through the sky, threaded with faint flames.
A normal Thunder move only contained storm clouds and lightning, with the dark clouds taking up most of the visual.
Lin Feng had seen that plenty of times before.
But this time, it was more accurate to say the lightning had swallowed the storm clouds, because within the sky churned massive electric serpents as thick as pythons, and among them flickered scattered yellow flames.
This was Zekrom's Fusion Bolt!
No… it was even more than that. It was Fusion Bolt carrying traces of fire.
As the flames intensified, the power of Fusion Bolt would only continue to rise.
At that point, it could practically be called Blue Flare.
Lightning raged wildly.
Togekiss's mouth hung half open, but its cry had already been drowned beneath the shrieking roar of the storm.
It stared at the terrifying lightning above, completely stunned.
Was this really a move Alcremie could use?
"What…?"
Sally was equally frozen.
And not just her.
Even the two Psychic-type Pokémon responsible for stabilizing the floating platforms, Gardevoir and Metagross, had their psychic control shaken for a moment.
The remaining boards trembled violently, almost collapsing, but fortunately, they reacted fast enough and quickly restored stability.
On the other side, Sally looked at the lightning fully forming and gave up trying to understand why Lin Feng had sent out Alcremie.
She no longer cared what move it had used.
Right now, she only wanted those thunderclouds gone!
She did not even need to think to know it was an Electric-type attack.
And against a Flying-type like Togekiss, that meant double damage.
"Togekiss, use Air Slash!"
Togekiss snapped out of its daze.
Facing the storm clouds ahead, it beat its wings rapidly, gathering Flying-type energy.
A fan-shaped blade of light formed instantly.
But at that exact moment, Alcremie's Fusion Bolt was completed.
The storm cloud surged forward, carrying both flame and lightning as it crashed downward.
The two attacks collided.
That Air Slash, the one that had amazed countless fans…
The one that had caused fourteen flinches out of fifteen hits…
The one praised as a slash sharp enough to cut through the sky…
The moment it entered the storm cloud, it vanished without even making a splash.
"What… how is that possible?!"
Sally's eyes widened instantly.
She even cursed under her breath.
As a cute-style influencer with tens of millions of followers, she occasionally streamed live, and she had always been careful with her words and image.
But right now, staring at this scene, she was genuinely shocked.
Togekiss kept firing Air Slash after Air Slash, but every single one disappeared into the Fusion Bolt like mud sinking into the sea, without leaving even the slightest ripple.
Even the floating wooden platforms along the path were destroyed one after another.
They could only watch helplessly as Fusion Bolt struck Togekiss.
Crackle. Snap.
Electric currents mixed with Togekiss's painful cries, but the sounds only lasted for a brief moment before disappearing completely.
At the same time, the storm clouds created by Fusion Bolt began to fade.
As the clouds dispersed, Togekiss slowly fell from the sky, its once pure white feathers scorched yellow by electricity.
Meanwhile, Alcremie was breathing lightly.
But when it saw its opponent fall, it first let out a small sigh of relief, then slowly smiled.
(●'◡'●): "Creamie…"
Battles did not seem as hard as it had imagined.
Just like this.
One move.
The opponent falls.
It turned around and realized the Aura Wings on its back had already disappeared with time.
But it wanted to return to Lin Feng's side, so it waved its tiny hand again.
Immediately, the pair of radiant Aura Wings reappeared.
Then, eyes curved into happy little crescents, it flew straight back and landed on Lin Feng's shoulder.
That single scene caused the previously silent stadium to explode.
"???"
"I'm typing question marks not because I'm confused, but because you are!"
"It summoned Aura Wings again?! Are you kidding me?!"
"Wait, brother… is your Alcremie even legal?"
As Togekiss was recalled, the once-silent arena erupted into heated discussion.
"Whatever it wants, it gets? Is that the biological child of Arceus or something?"
Most people had not even fully understood the attack Alcremie had just unleashed.
But the first time it summoned Aura Wings, everyone thought it was just luck. After all, Metronome was random. Pulling a strong move once was normal enough.
But now?
The effect had ended, and it summoned Aura Wings again?
This…
That was not luck anymore.
That was basically choosing whatever move it wanted.
"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!"
At the critical moment, floating high above the battlefield, commentator Li Bing finally identified it.
"If I remember correctly, the move Alcremie just used should be Fusion Bolt!"
He raised his voice.
"There is a legend in the Unova region that humans who possess truth and ideals may be chosen by the legendary Pokémon Zekrom and Reshiram, who will fight by their side!"
"And Fusion Bolt is Zekrom's signature move!"
One sentence stirred the entire audience into chaos.
Aura Wings had already been absurd enough.
And now Li Bing was saying that the thundercloud-like attack was not Thunder at all—
it was the signature move of the legendary Pokémon Zekrom?
"That's ridiculous. What kind of luck is this? Two Aura Wings and one Fusion Bolt?"
"Wouldn't this kind of luck ruin everyone else's lives?"
The entire venue turned into complete uproar.
Hearing Li Bing's explanation, Lin Feng could not help glancing upward.
This commentator really was impressive.
He knew far more than expected.
After hearing the commentary, Sally's expression became even more complicated.
Ever since Alcremie first appeared, she had been trying to understand why Lin Feng would send out a Pokémon like that.
But now…
She had absolutely no idea what to say.
She felt like her mental state was about to collapse.
She had never fought such a ridiculous battle in her life.
"Alright, Togekiss is unable to continue battling. Contestant Sally, would you like to change the field?"
Although Li Bing was also deeply shocked, his professionalism as an excellent commentator quickly brought him back to work.
Even though the actual battle time between Lin Feng and Sally had not been very long, this match had already taken quite a while.
"Change it."
Although she still had a Frosmoth that could fly, the Sky Field had already become a complete disaster because of that previous Fusion Bolt.
And with Lin Feng still having Gardevoir waiting in reserve, changing the field was clearly the better option.
Maybe, if luck was on her side, she could get an Ice Field.
It was a nice thought.
Reality, however, was cruel.
This time, under the selection of the central screen, the battlefield transformed into scorching molten rock once again…
