"This is the power of Combination Skill!!!" Qingwu, from Japan Second Team, watched intently, his respect reserved only for Fujiwara Haruka in terms of nurturing prowess within his team.
Both Chinese and Japanese second-team members were amazed by this slashing attack, and even the Chinese players had to admit its strength.
At this moment, Glutton was entirely locked by that slash, causing any movement of Gengar to require a tremendous amount of energy.
"The data needs to be updated," Fang Yuan thought. This Elodea, like Xu Haoran's Pokemon with Aura, had just begun to learn the basics of using Aura.
Now, it was using its Lock On to Aura, rendering Glutton's movements highly constrained.
This difficulty in movement was precisely why Glutton struggled.
The China Trainer Association had not provided this information.
Though, with Gengar having gone through Mega Evolution, it might normally ignore such moves, but the discrepancy in the information now made it difficult for Gengar to secure victory.
Unless…
"Hehe," Juzhen Ye chuckled; under the stringent Aura Lock On from Elodea, Gengar's Shadow Contract and Black Flame could hardly be effective.
Given the power of this Mind Blade, it could easily be a one-hit kill on Gengar.
This Elodea had been trained in the most orthodox swordsmanship tradition, its swordsmanship extraordinary to reach this level; Juzhen Ye was not at all surprised.
At the next World Championship, young Fujiwara Haruka could perhaps become Japan's new Champion, leading the Japanese team to new heights with even greater strength.
"Slash it down," Longqi silently commanded, as it was finally Fujiwara Haruka's turn to take the stage, ready to end Fang Yuan's bravado.
Ma Chenzong, Ms. Liuqin, and Yun Kai were somewhat solemn; this Fujiwara Haruka was indeed very different from the previous four they faced.
Even Yun Kai could feel considerable pressure coming from this Elodea.
On Fang Yuan's side, Glutton "put on a grave expression," "struggling tremendously" to control its Shadow in an attempt to manipulate the opponent.
But the moment Glutton's Shadow started to move, Elodea anticipated the lapse and vanished!
It had been waiting for Glutton to make a move, knowing that was when its weak points would be most exposed and the chance to dodge an attack would be smallest.
Being locked by Aura made Glutton's actions all the more difficult, and initiating an attack was akin to falling into a trap.
In an instant, as Elodea vanished, the arena returned to calm.
Surprisingly, Elodea launched an attack and used Teleport simultaneously, a technique even Fang Yuan had never heard of before.
A "Swoosh!" sound and Elodea reappeared, the arena's dynamics shifted once more, a blade light that looked like dawn piercing through darkness sliced past Glutton's back, cutting across its body.
As a flash of light passed before their eyes, the audience, especially the reserve players from China's Second Team, winced, lamenting what seemed like the scene of Gengar being one-hit killed.
However, in the next second, it was the Japanese team members' pupils that contracted in disappointment.
Fang Yuan's voice slowly emerged, "Miss Fujiwara, that's not how Aura should be used."
He stood serenely in place, the pale blue glow fading from his eyes. His Power of the Heart had already helped Glutton break through the weakness of that top-tier one-hit kill technique.
The attack was indeed strong.
If it weren't for Fang Yuan commanding Aura to help Glutton release the lock, Glutton might have already lost.
Regrettably, for a true Aura master, this Combination Skill had significant flaws. Once seen through, even Glutton could exploit the weak points of the Mind Blade.
Fujiwara Haruka had not yet reacted.
A terrifying Mind Blade had indeed cut through Gengar, but it split into two like a specter, untouched by the attack as if it caused no harm at all.
Within Elodea's shocked expression, Glutton sneered. Evil Thought Power burst forth from its body.
Today, Glutton's strongest tactic was the Attribute Roulette Tactics. With the Mirror Skill allowing it to freely switch among over a dozen attributes, it could ensure its dominance over an Eevee at the same stage, even having a good chance of winning.
Fang Yuan calmly observed all this, and in the face of such an attack, Gengar had long switched to Dark and Ghost Double System; Dark Type immune to Superpower, Ghost immune to physical damage. Even though the attack was exceptionally powerful, preventing Glutton from being entirely immune, the impact was negligible. The next second, the center of Evil Intent's shadow, Glutton vanished in a flash.
This time, it was Glutton's turn to counterattack.
"Shadow Ball." Fang Yuan's voice fell.
Upon Fang Yuan's command, Glutton reacted with extreme swiftness, reaching Elodea's front instantly with Dark Type ambush skills, leaving only an afterimage.
Holding the Shadow Ball in its right hand, Glutton pressed it directly against Elodea's belly. The flaw of Elodea's previous top-tier one-hit kill technique was a brief rigid moment, fully noticed by Fang Yuan and his team, allowing enough time for Glutton to strike back.
A loud "Boom!" and Elodea was sent flying by the Shadow Ball, hit hard without any resistance. No matter how powerful a Top Overlord it was, the impact of this Ghost Type hit left Elodea severely injured.
The intense pain was the first thing Elodea felt, followed by a fierce warming sensation where the Shadow explosion had hit; small clusters of Black Flame ignited the Shadow Energy, spreading rapidly and engulfing Elodea's entire body.
