Fierce air currents continuously rushed through both sides of the barrier, and the scattered stones nearby were directly blown away!
However, Ash, who stood at the forefront, did not move a single step.
The surface of the Aura Barrier barely trembled, and soon stabilized completely.
This level of attack was indeed extremely dangerous for Typhlosion.
But trying to shake Ash, who possessed Divine Domain Level Aura, with the diffuse impact shockwave... the two are simply not of the same level!
Ash exerted slight force with his fingers.
The blue light on the surface of the Aura Barrier immediately spread outward, directly splitting the remaining golden shockwave to both sides!
Cynthia stood behind Ash, looking at the Aura Barrier that hadn't even a single crack, and she had already put down the arm that was blocking in front of her.
She almost forgot.
As long as Ash is not seen merely as a Trainer, this level of battle is actually not dangerous to him personally at all.
He is, after all, a super true newcomer who can use his own power to contend with Divine Domain Level opponents!
As the shock gradually dissipated, the swirling dust on the stage also began to slowly settle down.
Ash extended the Aura into the pit at the first moment.
"Typhlosion hasn't lost the ability to fight yet."
Upon hearing this, Cynthia relaxed a bit.
Soon, the situation inside the pit appeared once again before the two of them.
Lilligant stood on one side, with her single foot planted firmly, the golden light on her body still extremely intense.
On the other side, Typhlosion lay among the rubble, the ghostly purple flames on his neck burning dimmer than before.
"Hakuh..."
Typhlosion panted heavily, his forelimbs once again supporting his body, and gradually stood up from within the pit.
Though he hadn't lost the ability to fight, the back-to-back releases of Flare Blitz, the self-inflicted damage from the moves, and Lilligant's previous kick had severely depleted Typhlosion's physical strength and energy.
As for why Lilligant's kick caused such visible damage to the Ghost-type Typhlosion, the reason was quite simple.
While Fighting Attribute Energy indeed struggles to normally affect Ghost-type Pokemon, what truly impacted Typhlosion's body along with the Fighting Attribute Energy was also the enormous physical strength unleashed after Lilligant's continuous enhancements.
Although Typhlosion possesses the Ghost Attribute, his body cannot become intangible like some Ghost-type Pokemon to let all physical contact pass directly through him.
Facing the pure kick from Lilligant enhanced to such an extent, combined with the self-inflicted damage from Flare Blitz, there's no way Typhlosion could easily withstand it.
Nevertheless, he still stood up again.
"Hakuh!"
Typhlosion glared at Lilligant while the dim ghostly purple flames on his neck reignited.
He could still keep fighting!
However, Ash did not issue another attack command.
"It's enough, Typhlosion."
Typhlosion looked slightly confused.
Ash had already taken out a Pokeball, showing a smile at him: "You've done very well, leave the rest to us."
"Hakuh..."
Typhlosion cast a glance at the opposite Lilligant before turning back to look at Ash.
Moments later, he slowly relaxed his body.
The red light from the Pokeball shot out, retrieving Typhlosion back.
Ash looked down at the Pokeball in his hand.
Typhlosion truly was no match for Lilligant, which was an easy fact to acknowledge.
Both Typhlosion and Samurott currently are at Elite Peak, while Lilligant's actual strength has always been above theirs, alongside the power augmentation achieved through her continuous dancing.
The present Lilligant, perhaps, has reached Elite Level, which is not something that Elite Level Pokemon can recklessly challenge.
Even if Typhlosion gains strength from Aura Power, at best, he's comparable to a Gym Beginner Level.
Wanting to challenge an Elite Level is far from enough.
The fact that he could rely on Aura Resonance to break through Petal Blizzard head-on and actually cause significant damage to Lilligant has already proven that Typhlosion's training has not been in vain.
It's just that for now, he's unable to truly cross the gap in power between both sides.
"Earlier, there was an inaccuracy in our data."
Cynthia continued observing the state of Lilligant until Typhlosion was withdrawn before sharing her judgment.
Ash immediately caught on.
"You're suggesting Lilligant's defensive power has an issue?"
"Correct."
Cynthia nodded: "Normally, Grass Attribute Lilligant taking a Flare Blitz of that strength wouldn't only suffer this degree of damage, so she must have increased not just the power and speed, but also defense through dancing."
Ash couldn't help twitching at the mouth corners.
Three enhancements? Is this queen overdoing it with her dancing? Who knows what she'll strengthen to next?
As for continuing to let Samurott fight head-on… there's no need for that anymore.
Lilligant's Grass Attribute can suppress Samurott's Water Attribute, and her Fighting Attribute can also significantly suppress the Dark Attribute.
Samurott's own strength is inferior to the current Lilligant.
Cynthia would never force Samurott into an exceedingly low probability battle just to prove a point.
"Return, Samurott."
The red light from the Pokeball shot out, and Samurott quickly disappeared from the battlefield stage.
