Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: Your Moon is My Moon

"Throw?"

Hearing Axel's command in that instant, Ishida, who was acting as the referee on the side, was directly dumbfounded.

Caitlin also blinked her big eyes, psychic power jumping in her pupils non-stop, her CPU almost overloaded.

This move had very little use, so much so that many Dark-type trainers would subconsciously ignore the existence of this skill.

It was hard to imagine a Psychic-type Gardevoir would actually use this skill to attack.

Looking at the two people's confused expressions, Axel grinned and threw out the box containing the Toxic Orb.

Gardevoir's coordination with him had become increasingly skillful. The move "Fling" wrapped the Toxic Orb mid-air and landed it steadily on Munna.

A flash of purple light passed by, and Munna showed a pained expression.

Seeing Axel's series of operations, Ishida's excited voice echoed throughout the entire battle arena.

"Incredible, truly incredible!"

"Player Axel is bold and meticulous, actually using the toxic orb + fling for a damage combo."

"Now we can see that Munna has already fallen into a poisoned state!"

Caitlin looked irritably at Ishida, frowning her clean and straight nose.

'So annoying, this guy. I'm not blind!'

'Also, what kind of decent person uses this kind of method to poison someone?'

Caitlin bit her lips hard and urged Munna to launch the Swift attack.

"Munna~"

A strange cry came from Munna's mouth, and the Swift surrounded by pink smoke in front of it was instantly launched.

The flying speed of Swift was extremely fast, precisely hitting Gardevoir's body, making a series of bang bang bang sounds.

That pink smoke also stuck to Gardevoir's body, the specific effect unknown.

"You okay, Gardevoir? Use Charm."

Gardevoir softly chanted, placing both hands in front of her neck, swaying her body charmingly toward Munna.

Two downward circles of light appeared consecutively on Munna's body, and the look in its eyes toward Gardevoir immediately changed.

'Damn it, I really deserve to die!'

'Actually going hard on such a beautiful psychic queen, definitely not allowed again later.'

'Even if I get beaten to death, poisoned into a fool, I can't go hard again!'

Seeing her own Munna had its physical attack weakened, a trace of crimson flashed in Caitlin's eyes.

Her small fists clenched so hard they turned white, and a dangerous gaze fell upon Axel, starting to have the urge to PK in person.

'Damn it!'

'Psychic-type battles should be intense head-to-head clashes, where the hell did you learn these sneaky tactics?'

But soon, Caitlin figured it out.

"Relying on Munna's shallow move pool, so using Charm to weaken Munna's physical attack, huh?"

"But… what Munna is best at is still special attack."

"If you think Munna only has psychic-type special skills, then you're dead wrong!"

"Use Moonblast!"

"Use Encore!"

The two commands almost came out at the same time.

A pure white full moon appeared on Munna's half of the field. The bright moonlight poured down, making the entire field dazzling to the extreme.

But just when the full moon was about to release a stronger beam of light and launch an attack at Gardevoir, Gardevoir suddenly curled her finger.

A trace of confusion flashed through Munna's sleepy eyes, and as if possessed, it gave up control of the full moon in the sky and once again condensed a Swift.

At the same time, a hint of purple spread from its body, the poisoned state activated again, reducing a portion of its vitality.

Although the Swift hit Gardevoir accurately, after being weakened by Charm, the damage was barely more than a tickle.

"DAMN IT!"

Caitlin's hair floated, her pain reaching the extreme.

After being hit by Encore, she could only use the last move used for three turns.

Which meant her Munna still had to tickle the opponent two more times.

If it were usual, that'd be fine, but the problem now was that Munna still carried the poison state brought on by the Toxic Orb...

And the Moonblast that Munna had just finally managed to gather was now clearly about to go to waste.

'Damn it, I really wanna step in and hit someone!'

Seeing Caitlin looking at the sky, Axel considerately said, "Feeling like that hard-earned Moonblast is gonna go to waste?"

Caitlin subconsciously nodded, "Don't worry, it won't be wasted."

"Gardevoir, use Moonblast!"

Gardevoir waved her jade hand, quickly connecting with the still lingering full moon summoned by Munna earlier before it could fade away.

Bright moonlight poured down, sizzling upon Munna's body.

Caitlin: "..."

'This is how you "don't waste" it?'

'Using my moon to hit my Pokémon, you might as well have let it go to waste!'

At the same time, Munna's body turned purple again, the poisoned state triggering once more.

Poisoned state is an extremely terrifying debuff, each trigger causes increasingly severe damage to the poisoned Pokémon.

This was already the fourth trigger of poison on Munna, and a full quarter of its vitality had vanished.

Combined with the previous poison hits and the latest Moonblast…

Munna was already on the brink of being knocked out.

And Encore still had one more turn of effect.

In other words, Caitlin had completely lost any chance to struggle, and could only watch as Munna faced inevitable defeat.

But… Axel could see clearly, although Caitlin's psychic power looked on the verge of collapse, the corners of her eyes still held a trace of a smile.

That wasn't the expression of someone with no way out.

"Gardevoir, be cautious. Use Heal Pulse."

To prevent a situation where the champagne is popped too early, Axel decided to use a healing move to play it safe.

Gardevoir had just mastered Heal Pulse, a very strong recovery move that could restore half of her or an ally's vitality.

Gardevoir nodded gently, sending out a series of colorful rings.

The rings landed on Gardevoir's body, restoring the health lost from the earlier Swift attack.

After a few flashes, Gardevoir's vitality recovered significantly, her complexion visibly much better.

However, the pink smoke lingering on her body still hadn't dissipated, sticking to her hair and clothes.

Just then, the opponent's Munna suddenly let out a strange cry.

The smoke on Gardevoir's body began to spread and surge, quickly forming a thin pink mist that enveloped her completely.

Caitlin's cold voice rang out, "Munna, eat her dream!"
