Togekiss has gotten used to "Dragon's Fluctuation" showering over it.
But the shock it gave to all the audience, to its opponent Shimi, and to Kingdra was abnormal.
Yet, while the other side was astonished, for Natsuhiko and Togekiss, it was exactly the right opportunity.
Kingdra was already in a "Wither" state due to the "Air Slash" attack.
It was the best time to take advantage and pursue further.
"Togekiss, continue."
Natsuhiko's voice snapped Shimi back from shock.
Shimi forcefully suppressed the disbelief in his heart, trying to refocus on the battle.
"Kingdra!"
To put the enemy in a "Wither" state, or to struggle from a "Wither" state, you need willpower.
Boom—!! Boom—!!
Two more "Air Slashes" hit Kingdra.
But this time.
Besides enduring the damage, Kingdra was lucky enough not to fall into the "Wither" state again.
It's just uncertain whether this was due to luck or willpower.
"Chaa?!"
Togekiss was a bit surprised.
But on the opposite side, Shimi finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Then he held his breath, focusing intently on Togekiss, as thoughts flashed rapidly through his mind.
"Dragon's Fluctuation" didn't cause damage.
Using "Dragon's Fluctuation" again would certainly be unwise.
But to say that Dragon-type Techniques are useless against Togekiss just because one "Dragon's Fluctuation" is ineffective, probably no one would believe it.
So.
Shimi's eyes sharpened.
"Kingdra, Meteor Shower!"
When facing Natsuhiko's Togekiss, he must resolve the battle quickly, delivering a critical hit.
Otherwise, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it would be for him, while Togekiss would have a greater chance to control the enemy.
Kingdra understood, and the fierce Dragon Energy rapidly gathered together.
Listening to Shimi's command, Natsuhiko had an odd expression.
Look, how straightforward people are these days?
They want to use Dragon-type Techniques to attack Togekiss.
Trying to one-shot Togekiss.
No way.
The power of Dragon-type Pokémon and the destructive strength of Dragon-type Techniques have almost become a consensus.
This consensus accumulated over the development of the Pokemon Realm.
It is a deeply rooted idea.
Unfortunately.
Once the Fairy Type is announced, such "straightforward" people won't exist anymore.
So, now it's important to seize the opportunity.
Boom—
The energy amassed by Kingdra erupted, forming a giant crimson burning fireball, wrapped in a thick layer of Dragon Energy, taking the shape of a roaring giant dragon.
Instead of opting for a wide-scale attack and shooting the "Meteor Shower" into the sky, it accumulated all its power to deal with Togekiss.
The intention was very clear.
"Chaa!!"
Togekiss once again ignored the incoming fireball.
Slashing out with "Air Slash" in a manner of disbelief.
Clearly.
After executing "Meteor Shower," Kingdra was somewhat exhausted.
Such exhaustion allowed Togekiss's "Air Slash" to deal damage to Kingdra without a doubt, again causing it to fall into a "Wither" state.
However.
At this moment, all attention was tightly locked on Togekiss.
It once again ignored the oncoming "Meteor Shower."
An absurd thought flashed through everyone's mind.
'Could this Togekiss really ignore all Dragon-type Techniques?'
Boom—!!
The huge fireball of "Meteor Shower" hit Togekiss, crashing it to the ground.
Seeing this scene.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, smiles spreading across their faces.
Right, what's so ridiculous about anything being able to be immune to Dragon-type attacks?
Look, didn't Togekiss get knocked away?
"It's effective! It's effective! Togekiss was knocked away by 'Meteor Shower'!" The commentator breathed a big sigh of relief.
He was facing the biggest career crisis of his life.
This commentary nearly stumped him.
However.
Just as they were relaxing, their smiles froze.
"Chaa!"
The slightly battered Togekiss rose again from the ground, charging towards Kingdra.
"It's up again?! "
The commentator really felt like crying, thinking he might lose his job after today's match.
This...
Looking at its lively demeanor.
It didn't seem at all like it had been hit by the powerful, destructive "Meteor Shower."
At most.
The most.
Was that its fur was a bit disheveled.
But this dishevelment was completely disproportionate to the destruction that the "Meteor Shower" was supposed to cause.
Look at the ground that was affected by the "Meteor Shower."
Layer upon layer of cracks, charred everywhere.
That's the kind of result the true destructive power of "Meteor Shower" should produce.
The way Togekiss looks now, it just seems like it got hit by a meteor; the Dragon Energy and the previous "Dragon's Fluctuation" were just a shower.
At this point.
No one could sit still anymore.
Referee! Referee! Is someone cheating!
However, even the referee was bewildered.
He didn't understand either.
"What's... going on?" Lance in the contestant's stand looked confused.
But it wasn't only him, Flint, Kona, and others were the same.
"I think... this might be what Natsuhiko referred to as a new attribute, the Fairy Type," Hilona speculated thoughtfully.
"Fairy Type immune to Dragon-type Techniques?" Flint found it hard to accept.
Lance opened his mouth.
