He knows Pokémon better than me.

Of course, Popella was aware of this as well.

Faced with Bisharp's third Max Steel attack, it didn't choose to take it head-on this time.

"The Great Barrier!"

Gigantamax Alcremie decisively erected a white light barrier, completely blocking the attack without taking any damage.

Taking advantage of the gap when Bisharp's three turns ended and it shrank back to its original size, Poppy immediately unleashed Alcremie's final Dynamax move.

"Gigantamax happiness and fulfillment!!"

As the Frost Fairy sang to the heavens, creamy meteorites rained down from the sky, covering the entire area.

Boo hoo hoo-!
The surface of the giant mille-feuille cake was also constantly glowing green, recovering the high amount of stamina that had been consumed by the Max Steel.

However, this time, the falling cream meteorite did not cause a large-scale explosion.

Instead, it remained in the form of huge puddles of cream, spread out on the battle field, gradually spreading outwards under the influence of gravity.

Before long, almost 80% of the entire arena was covered in cream!
"I see."

In the audience, Xiao Zhi understood and nodded repeatedly in amazement.

After all, Alcremie's three turns have ended, and instead of using her last Dynamax move to deal damage, it's better to create the environment for more regular battles in the future.

Sure enough, the Galar natives are better at using Dynamax techniques; he had never actually considered that.

call out--!
Soon, the "crepe cake" returned to its original form, but this time the difference was that the arena was covered in cream filling, and the whole place was filled with the aroma of a bakery.

"Tsk!"

"Shout!"

Mary and Commander Chop frowned at the same time, especially the latter, who seemed hesitant to act rashly, even moving his body and waving his arms cautiously.

I was afraid that even a little bit of cream would dull the blade again.

"Hehe~ This is the Creamy Poison Dart specifically designed to counter Steel-type Poison Darts~!"

Popella, leaning on her small parasol, said with a smile.

For Soap Milk Fairy, stepping on the cream actually speeds up the process considerably.

This scene caused Peter, who had previously been glancing sideways and only stealing glances out of the corner of his eye, to turn his head completely this time and stare wide-eyed at the battle.

Regardless of attributes.
This quirky yet highly effective tactic is quite in line with his fighting style.

"So, are you going to attack next? If not, Alcremie, use Regeneration!"

Popella spoke calmly.

Since there was still a large area of ​​cream in between, Alcremie simply stood there calmly, her body glowing green, and began to recover her strength in a grand manner.

This time it was Mary's turn to get anxious, watching helplessly as the other person's condition improved more and more.

If you rush forward directly, you'll get caught in the cream.
Seeing his trainer's anxiety, Commander Slash became even more anxious.

It had been training with Mary for several days, and it was prepared to be its trump card to win.

Can't lose!
This is also a "unyielding" cleaver commander.

"Shout!!"

In response to the cheers and shouts from the surrounding cheering squad, Commander Pi Zhan also responded with a loud shout.

The next moment, several gray rocks condensed around Commander Pi Zhan and hurled them out at once.

"Has he learned a new move?"

Behind her, Mary's eyes lit up. They weren't sharp stone blades; each one was a much larger rock.

It wasn't a sharp stone attack, but a rock seal! Although weaker, in this environment, a rock seal was clearly more effective.

Paji——!
Paji——!
The boulder didn't crash into its target; instead, it landed on the cream along the way, making a strange, sticky sound.

By relying on the rock seal, a safe and unobstructed stone path was carved out!

"Shout!"

Having finally found a foothold, Commander Cleave immediately rushed out, leaping back and forth on the rock seal, quickly approaching Frost Fairy.

Popola was only slightly surprised, but she didn't let Alcremie interrupt her self-regeneration.

Now that the problem along the way is solved, how will you deal with the Cream Fairy's cream that dulls even the blade?
However, Mary suddenly glanced at Ash in the family and friends section out of the corner of her eye, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

She has already come up with a plan!

"At this position, the power should be sufficient," Mary immediately shouted.

"Slay the commander, with a sword dance!!"

When it reached the halfway point, the cleaving commander suddenly started spinning rapidly in place.

Popella thought the latter was going to max out her physical attack in one go and then launch a full-scale attack.

However, the sword dance lasted only two seconds before Mary shouted again:

"Now! Metal Claws!"

The next second, the Commander of the Slashing Blade forcibly stopped spinning, and with a swing of his arms, he used the powerful inertia to send out two sharp silver slashes through the air!

"This is...Steel Fist Double Strike?!"

Xiao Zhi was stunned and exclaimed in surprise.

He then realized that this was imitating Melo Meta's movements, using high-speed body rotation to launch his fists at a distance like cannonballs.

Since the Slashing Commander didn't have an extendable liquid metal body, what it unleashed naturally became a sharp metal slash.

Energy Slash, on the other hand, doesn't have the risk of being dulled by cream, so it can be unleashed without hesitation.

Even a tiny bit of something a mythical Pokémon reveals is enough for an ordinary Pokémon to learn for a lifetime!

Whoosh—!
The first slash landed diagonally on Alcremie, instantly interrupting the latter's self-regeneration, and her figure was pushed back several meters on the cream.

Outstanding effect!

However, the Slashing Commander had already started spinning around with its sword again, mimicking the double-hit attack of the Steel Fist, which greatly increased its attack speed.

"The sword dance released instantly didn't increase physical attack but instead increased attack speed?"

Ash grinned, "Marie has some great ideas too!"
Whoosh—!
Whoosh—!
Next, the Slashing Commander unleashed a series of fierce metal slashes, each posing a great threat to Alcremie.

"A reflective wall or a light wall?"

Even Popira hesitated. Was the ranged Metal Claw after Swords Dance considered a physical attack or a special attack?

In the brief moment of hesitation, Alcremie was once again blasted away.

Shouldn't this be considered a ranged special attack?
However, just as Alcremie struggled to her feet and prepared to condense a damage-reducing light wall in front of her, Commander Slash changed his actions and charged straight at her.

This time it wasn't a ranged energy slash, but a real, sharp blade that slashed fiercely at Alcremie's face.

"Metal Claw!"

With the final moment approaching, Commander Cleave didn't care about the dulling of his blade. With a single strike, he sent Alcremie flying, causing her to crash heavily in front of Popura.

Outstanding effect!

The latter's body lay sprawled out like cream, its eyes rolling, clearly having lost consciousness. (End of Chapter)
