Eevee demonstrated the Spiral Shadow Ball as well as the Awakened Power·Fire, after which the other four Pokemon knew that for a short time, Eevee's status likely remained unshakable.
Except the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster had a little scheme in mind.
What they didn't know was that if Eevee were able to multitask, it could have summoned another Substitute.
And, incidentally, use the Spiral version of Psyshock to create a triple spiral strike.
Having mastered Emotional Energy and Life Energy, the Payback Techniques containing these energies couldn't enhance Eevee's control over other energies, but they did serve to "stabilize" and "strengthen" it.
Both the Spiral Awakened Power·Fire and the Psyshock were new skills Eevee developed based on the Gratitude 3.5 version.
The role of Gratitude is similar to the initial use of Helping Hand to stabilize the Spiral Shadow Ball.
After Eevee's demonstration, Fang Yuan called out to the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster.
Compared with the small-framed Eevee, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster floating in the air, with a body shimmering with the luster of the powerful, and three cold eyes, obviously looked more like a real boss.
In previous battles, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster had always relied on its control of Electromagnetic Force, using a combination of Gravity + Railgun, or Pray for Rain + Thunder to attack the enemy, but today, it displayed its new foundation.
If it's these moves... combined with Teleport, it might not be impossible to fight Eevee.
Whoosh!!
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster created a Shadow Clone, which was just a pure Shadow Clone, not a Substitute; immediately after, two Self-detonating Magnetic Monsters, one above the other, began to spin.
As the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster itself spun at high speed, the Shadow Clone also synchronized its movements, and Electromagnetic Force surged wildly on the two creatures as if it could tear everything apart...
Following that... Electromagnetic Force formed an immense Electromagnetic Storm. This storm was fierce, its power and scope even greater than a single creature-created storm, and most importantly, upon the storm's formation, the local weather system was instantly affected!
The atmosphere was strongly disturbed, weather changes were drastic, and the top of the instant storm was covered with layers of dark, thick clouds.
Boom!!!
Rain fell, a thunderstorm formed in the sky, and beneath the flashes of lightning and thunder, the sky and ground were pierced by a shrinking spiral of intense, small, but fierce Electromagnetic Wind the size of the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster's body in rapid rotation.
If the opponent were a Steel-type Spirit... facing this Electromagnetic Storm would end badly.
At the same time, the Electromagnetic Storm that connected the sky and the earth also pulled out all of the Iron Sand from beneath the surface.
This move, in its majesty, was no less powerful than the two moves Eevee showed; leveraging the Electromagnetic Storm to induce Pray for Rain, Thunderstorm, it harnessed the Power of Nature. If this tremendous Electromagnetic Power were used for an attack, even Eevee would not want to take the hit head-on.
"Not bad," Fang Yuan thought to himself, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster had grown stronger in controlling Electromagnetic Power...
After the Electromagnetic Storm dissipated, the surrounding ground was covered with a layer of sharp-edged, pale yellow-black Iron Sand. The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster's gaze flashed, and countless grains of Iron Sand vibrated, floating up and converging in front of the two Magnets in front of it. Its demonstration wasn't over yet.
The Magnets connected with Iron Sand as the yellow-black Iron Sand appeared to form two black whips, extending several meters in the air, the sound they made like the buzzing of bees amplified a hundredfold.
A massive amount of Iron Sand, under the control of the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster's Electromagnetic Force and spiritual power, vibrated intensely, like a super high-speed electric chainsaw.
Whoosh!!!
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster wielded the two black whips toward the ground, and the earth, as if hit by an earthquake, was instantly cleaved by two massive fissures.
The cross-shaped cracks in the ground made Monferno swallow, how could it be that the Chef Magnet Monster seemed even more formidable than Eevee???
If the opponent used this dark whip to strike at him... Was he to catch it with Iron Fist?
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
After using the Iron Sand Whip, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster gave a light flick, constructing a magnetic field, scattering countless iron sands into fine, high-speed vibrating assassination needles, raining densely like drops upon a small area of the ground. In the next second, that patch of ground was riddled with holes, the myriad iron sand needles sparking with electromagnetic power, resembling a dark golden sea.
Fang Yuan smiled, indeed, this was the Pokemon in which he had invested the most resources. The Electromagnetic Storm followed by manipulation of Iron Sand was nearly invincible. For the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, there was no need to train too many skills. Just the Electromagnetic Power alone allowed it to play with countless variations.
The capabilities of the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster were even more suited to group battles than Eevee's.
Next, it was Monferno's turn.
After experiencing the shocks delivered by Eevee and the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Glutton and Milotic breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of Monferno stepping up – this guy... surely couldn't be as perverse, right?
Since Fury and Lightning Armor were restricted, Monferno could now only use one enhancement technique. Monferno chose to display the strength of its evolution with Lightning Armor.
Monferno stood silently on the ground, stretched out an arm, clenched its fist, and thunder energy instantly diffused over it, as though a layer of golden energy armor was faintly enveloping its entire body!
Then, in that wild state, Monferno took a deep breath, harnessed the Qi Gathering Technique, and finally, with Fiery Golden Eyes shining, it unleashed Sonic Fist—
Boom boom boom boom boom!!!
Since Monferno's fist—and practically its entire body apart from its head—was enveloped by Awakening Power: Electricity, its Sonic Fist looked just like Thunder Punch.
With each punch it threw, thunder roared out. At present, Monferno could achieve six punches per second.
This super-fast punching speed, combined with Energy Fluctuation, rendered Monferno's fist shadows hard to see. Punching the air, the space itself seemed to be distorted by the echoes of the fist, turning the air currents into gold-patterned ripples.
Whew...
With every breath in and out, Monferno seemed to turn into thunder and lightning, performing the breath of Lei. However, feeling that this was not shocking enough, Monferno moved to a large boulder and continued to hit it with Sonic Fist.
Bang bang bang bang bang!!!
In just fifteen seconds, Monferno's flurry of punches, a hundred strikes, completely swallowed the boulder into the shadows of its fists.
When the attack ended, the boulder turned into a pile of dust—hardly any powder to be found.
Monferno, barely hiding its exhaustion, pretended to be unbothered as it looked towards the others. This was not simply swinging fists; it required the coordination of various energies. Six punches per second meant that at least six moves were used in that one second—hitting the opponent with this would certainly be terrifying.
How's that?!
Eevee and the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster nodded lightly, well struck and technically sound. Well deserved.
"Gulusss-tah~~" Glutton scratched its head, while its Moves might not seem as grandiose or shocking as those of Eevee and the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, why did it feel like Monferno's strength had surpassed its own??
That couldn't be right... After all, its own Ghost Fire Armored Giant was so massive, Monferno could at best only reach its knees.
"..." Milotic expressed that it was just a rookie and had no intention of comparing itself with any of the other four Pokemon.
Fang Yuan watched Monferno's performance and nodded, Lightning Armor combined with Sonic Fist had surpassed the mere Thunder Punch. Even Jirachi's Plasma Lightning Fist was not too much better. What about if it combined Fury with Fire Punch?
If Lightning Armor sought speed, Fury pursued power. The speed was definitely better in the former, but the latter's destructive force should be more astonishing.
