There are exceptions to everything, however. It is true that even if Ralts has evolved into Kirilia, it is difficult for her to react to the speed of the attack and the Metal Claw's concealment. Once hit by the super effective attack due to her weakness against Steel-type move, Kirlia, who has a weaker defense, is likely to be defeated instantly.
However, after following Hisoka for two whole years and completing numerous bounty quests during this period, Kirlia, who had already accumulated a lot of experience, did not panic in the face of this attack.
Just before Sneasel's attack was about to hit her opponent, a brief ripple visible to the naked eye occurred suddenly in the space in front of them. And then Kirlia's figure disappeared right in front of her eyes instantly.
"Sneasel?"
Her attack only managed to hit the air as she stared at the place where Kirlia was standing before. She was wondering how did Kirlia disappear in a blink of an eye. It was her first time seeing this as she stood with a confused look on her face.
"Shh!"
The sound of something flying in the air appeared from her back.
Her bright red ear feather trembled slightly, and she immediately leaped to the side. A second later, a green light flew past her as she dodged the sneak attack.
Boom!
It went to head to a tree before finally stopping with a loud thud. She stood up and saw a single green leaf inserted into the tree. Next, she felt a sting on her cheek as she put her hand on it and saw a small trace of blood on her hand.
Although she dodged the attack just in time, it still managed to graze her face a little. If it wasn't for her keen hearing and agility, she would have been directly hit by that move just now. And even if that attack didn't take her out instantly, she would be in a disadvantageous position during the fight after considering the damage caused by Kirlia's move.
...
Seeing that her attack didn't work, Kirlia remained calm as she raised her hand upward. Suddenly, several dozens of leaves slowly formed in the air as they revolved around her at high speed. The high-speed rotating leaves spun against the air and made a series of humming sounds.
"Magical Leaf!"
Hisoka recognized the move Kirlia used at a glance, which should be a new skill she learned after she had evolved. Furthermore, Ralts can already use Magical Leaf skilfully thanks to her arduous training in telekinesis. In addition, the psychic power increased by evolution improved her Magical Leaf power a lot.
She also raised her left hand as more leaves formed in the air. Then, she flicked her hands away. Accompanied by a buzzing sound, the leaves flew toward Sneasel at a fast speed.
Sneasel did not dare to slack off in the face of the oncoming attack and immediately used Quick Attack to increase her speed to avoid the attacking leaves successively.
As long as her psychic power is sufficient, Kirlia's Magical Leaf onslaught will never end. And once Sneasel is hit by those leaves, she will be seriously injured.
On Sneasel's end, she tried her best to get closer to Kirlia, dodging the relentless attack while slowly moving toward her opponent. But Kirlia, who can instantly move by using Teleport, dashed her hope of winning this fight.
Meanwhile, Kirlia's performance gave Hisoka a wonderful surprise. He had always been trying to train her in a Support role, but her display in this battle showed her potential as a Gunner. With her powerful psychic power and Teleport, Hisoka felt she could become a Gunner in the future.
Fifteen minutes had passed in the blink of an eye, and it seemed that the battle had come to a close.
Sneasel can be seen breathing heavily in the arena. She wiped her face with her hand as beads of sweat dripped from her head. She performed quite well in the fight, but in the face of Kirlia, who had undergone much training for two whole years with Hisoka, her whimsy response in the battle was much worse.
Perhaps Kirlia was tired of her lackluster performance or just plain bored. She decided to end the battle. Her powerful psychic power was activated in an instant as numerous leaves formed in the arena. She then hurled the leaves toward the tired Sneasel as they formed into a storm of leaves glinting with green light.
The attack hit straight on Sneasel's figure, who didn't manage to avoid it in time. With the unwilling cry of Sneasel, the battle has officially come to an end.
The winner is Kirlia, who dominated throughout the battle.
Hisoka shook his head after walking next to the fallen Sneasel. He can see that Kirlia didn't hold back at all during the last attack.
Fortunately, it was only minor injuries. So there's no need for him to head to the Pokemon Center for treatment. Instead, he can use his own medical methods and a few Potions to treat her. And she'll be right as new come the day after.
Besides, he doesn't want to meet the scary gaze of Nurse Joy when Sneasel just had a treatment at her premise a week ago.
