"Crobat!!"
Crobat flapped its two pairs of broad wings, bursting violently through the smoke and dust to reappear in their line of sight.
Although it wasn't on its last legs, its purple skin was covered in bruises, and its eyes were narrowed. It was clearly heavily injured.
"Damn it, this Nidorina..."
Lambda cursed under his breath. Nidorina's level might not be high, but the power of its moves was nothing to scoff at.
*So it’s built like an artillery turret?*
But to think a single Thunderbolt could defeat his ace, Crobat... she was still too naive.
"Sacrificing one for a single chance to attack. This girl is ruthless."
He shifted his gaze to the other cloud of smoke and dust from the explosion.
Trading a Clefairy for a single injury on his Crobat—this sharp, merciless offensive was quite in line with the style of Team Rocket.
Soon, the smoke and dust cleared, revealing the ground was unharmed.
If it weren't for Silph Co.'s special-grade floor tiles, that last Air Slash would have likely blasted a large pit in the ground.
"?"
But the shadow within the smoke and dust left Lambda dumbfounded.
Within the haze, a cute, pink creature was panting heavily. Its body was covered in several slash marks, and its injuries were severe.
But it didn't fall. It was still standing there.
"How the hell is it not dead?!"
He couldn't help but curse out loud.
He couldn't even take down a baby Pokémon?!
For some reason, a term suddenly surfaced in Lambda's mind.
Pink Devil.
"Is that..."
He had suddenly noticed a blind spot.
As Clefairy moved, a small necklace was revealed around its neck.
At the end of the chain hung a small, purple, egg-shaped stone, which was emitting a strange light.
"Nice!"
Seeing that Clefairy was temporarily okay, Blue couldn't help but sigh in relief.
In truth, she had no idea what that stone was.
It was a strange stone that Big Sis Blue had swiped from the Clefairy nest back on Mt. Moon when she was grabbing a Moon Stone.
Its power was very strange. When worn by her Clefairy or Nidorina, it would significantly increase their Defense.
But if Big Sis Blue's Clefable wore it, there was no effect at all.
It was because of this stone that Blue had even considered letting her Clefairy take a direct hit.
But now it seemed her Clefairy was indeed tanky enough~!
This maneuver, however, infuriated Lambda. He felt as if he had been humiliated and, with a commanding sweep of his hand, commanded again.
"Continue using Air Slash!"
Hmph, let's see how many more you can take!
Today, I'll Air Slash you to death!
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
Several blades of air flew straight toward the artillery turret Nidorina, completely ignoring Clefairy's presence.
Naturally, Blue wouldn't let the opponent attack her damage-dealer. She cried out:
"Xiao Pi, use Protect again!"
Protect, Protect, Protect! And now, it could protect again.
Clang, clang, clang!!
The sharp and powerful Air Slash blades madly struck the green barrier. After a violent tremor, both the attack and the shield dissipated into thin air.
"Stalling again? How boring."
Lambda could already sense the artillery turret hiding behind Clefairy starting to gather energy again.
Only this time, it wasn't yellow, but an ice-blue color.
"Finish them! Use Air Slash!!"
His voice was on the verge of erupting like a volcano.
This time, Crobat had experience. With its speed, it could easily evade Nidorina's turret-like attack in advance.
"Xiao Pi, dodge quickly! Use Follow Me!" Blue quickly instructed.
"Clef!"
Clefairy hopped up again, jumping to one side.
Then, with a flick of its finger, it drew the menacing Air Slash attacks entirely toward itself.
With Clefairy no longer providing cover, the Nidorina charging in the back was exposed.
*Zzzt! Zzzt!*
A mass of ice-blue energy was currently gathering in its palm, faintly exuding a bone-chilling aura.
The energy had reached its peak!
*Swish!*
Nidorina replicated its previous action, violently throwing the energy forward. The freezing energy transformed into an ice-blue, snake-like bolt, and its chilling aura was so intense it even froze the water vapor in the air along its path.
Ice Beam!
"Boring! Dodge it."
Lambda sneered dismissively, even turning his gaze to the Clefairy on the other side.
An Ice Beam of this level had no chance of hitting his Crobat.
However, as he turned his head, the scene that met his eyes was somewhat baffling.
The Clefairy, which had been bouncing around playfully, suddenly changed its gesture as the Air Slash blades were about to strike...
A thumbs-up?!
If he wasn't mistaken, it seemed Clefairy was giving him an encouraging gesture?
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!
Just as the Air Slash was about to completely envelop Clefairy, its thumb suddenly lit up with a terrifying white light.
It had no type, just a pure output of raw energy, shooting straight in one direction...
This was a flashback from Clefairy.
Its name was Xiao Pi, and it was originally a cute little thing from Mt. Moon.
One day, a senior Clefable from the outside entered their world and showed them the powerful Moonblast.
That terrifying and enchanting Fairy aura instantly turned it into a devoted fan. It agreed to travel with a human to see the world.
It, too, yearned to master that powerful Moonblast!
As a result, under its diligent training and the perfect growth plan its master had set for it...
On the first day, Clefairy learned Minimize.
On the fifth day, Clefairy learned Protect.
On the tenth day, Clefairy learned Follow Me.
"These are all necessary steps to learning Moonblast~"
On that day, its master's way of speaking was a bit odd, and her personality didn't seem as gentle as usual.
But Clefairy still gave a cute nod.
A few days ago, it mastered another new move.
Helping Hand!!
*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!*
The energy from Helping Hand shot out from Clefairy's thumb and abruptly struck the Ice Beam.
The latter swelled instantly with a "whoosh," its form abruptly transformed from a snake-like bolt into a dragon-like one, more than doubling in thickness as its speed skyrocketed.
Crobat: "?"
*Zzzzzzt!!*
Before it could even dodge, the Helping Hand-enhanced Ice Beam had already struck its body.
*Crack! Crackle!*
A terrifying chill spread out, making it tremble uncontrollably.
In just a single breath, half of its body was frozen into a block of ice.
Seeing this from a distance, Xiao Pi closed its eyes in satisfaction.
Its Helping Hand had made a great contribution.
I should have enough merit now, right?
Perhaps in a few more days, my master will let me officially start learning Moonblast~
In a daze, it thought it heard its master's voice, as if comforting and encouraging it.
"Good job, Tool Pi~"
Blue shouted from a distance.
Clefairy: "?"
The next second, its vision was completely covered by countless ferocious Air Slash attacks.
This time, even with the Eviolite, Clefairy couldn't take it. Its vision went black, and it fainted completely.
But the mental damage was definitely greater than the physical...
"Crobat!!"
Following Lambda's roar, the Crobat before him sharpened its gaze and spread its wings again.
A powerful gale raged, shattering all the ice covering its body.
"Cro..."
But at this moment, it could only pant in mid-air, its injuries clearly severe.
To take two super-effective, high-power moves—one of them a Helping Hand-Plus version—and still be standing, already spoke to the vast level gap between them.
To be pushed to the brink of being Unable to Battle by a rookie girl...
Even in a two-on-one, it made Lambda burn with shame and anger.
"Crobat, use Leech Life!"
Hmph, that Clefairy over there is Unable to Battle. Let's see who can save you this time!
"Swoosh!"
Crobat's speed was like lightning. It flew in front of Nidorina in an instant, while the latter was only just beginning to gather the energy for Thunderbolt.
"Crobat!!"
Crobat bit down on Nidorina's neck, its two sharp fangs piercing right through its scaly skin.
The next second, a steady stream of strength began to flow into it.
"Xiaona!"
Blue cried out in alarm, hastily pulling out a Poké Ball to recall Nidorina.
But before the red light could cover her Pokémon, a vicious smile once again spread across Lambda's lips.
"Crobat, use Pursuit!"
Crobat swung its wing, unleashing a heavy, lightning-fast strike that slammed into Nidorina's belly.
The ferocious attack instantly made Nidorina's eyes roll back into its head, rendering it Unable to Battle.
Only then did the Poké Ball's red light arrive, belatedly sucking Nidorina inside.
Pursuit's damage doubles when the opponent is switching their Pokémon out.
"You sly bastard..."
Just as an infuriated Blue was about to switch to her next Pokémon...
Crobat struck again with the speed of lightning, its form appearing behind her head.
It bent a wing, the edge sharper than any blade, and held it against her neck.
"Little girl, I don't have time to play with you anymore."
Lambda had lost his patience. In an instant, he had subdued her.

The energy had reached its peak!
*Swish!*
Nidorina replicated its previous action, violently throwing the energy forward. The freezing energy transformed into an ice-blue, snake-like bolt, and its chilling aura was so intense it even froze the water vapor in the air along its path.
Ice Beam!
"Boring! Dodge it."
Lambda sneered dismissively, even turning his gaze to the Clefairy on the other side.
An Ice Beam of this level had no chance of hitting his Crobat.
However, as he turned his head, the scene that met his eyes was somewhat baffling.
The Clefairy, which had been bouncing around playfully, suddenly changed its gesture as the Air Slash blades were about to strike...
A thumbs-up?!
If he wasn't mistaken, it seemed Clefairy was giving him an encouraging gesture?
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!
Just as the Air Slash was about to completely envelop Clefairy, its thumb suddenly lit up with a terrifying white light.
It had no type, just a pure output of raw energy, shooting straight in one direction...
This was a flashback from Clefairy.
Its name was Xiao Pi, and it was originally a cute little thing from Mt. Moon.
One day, a senior Clefable from the outside entered their world and showed them the powerful Moonblast.
That terrifying and enchanting Fairy aura instantly turned it into a devoted fan. It agreed to travel with a human to see the world.
It, too, yearned to master that powerful Moonblast!
As a result, under its diligent training and the perfect growth plan its master had set for it...
On the first day, Clefairy learned Minimize.
On the fifth day, Clefairy learned Protect.
On the tenth day, Clefairy learned Follow Me.
"These are all necessary steps to learning Moonblast~"
On that day, its master's way of speaking was a bit odd, and her personality didn't seem as gentle as usual.
But Clefairy still gave a cute nod.
A few days ago, it mastered another new move.
Helping Hand!!
*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!*
The energy from Helping Hand shot out from Clefairy's thumb and abruptly struck the Ice Beam.
The latter swelled instantly with a "whoosh," its form abruptly transformed from a snake-like bolt into a dragon-like one, more than doubling in thickness as its speed skyrocketed.
Crobat: "?"
*Zzzzzzt!!*
Before it could even dodge, the Helping Hand-enhanced Ice Beam had already struck its body.
*Crack! Crackle!*
A terrifying chill spread out, making it tremble uncontrollably.
In just a single breath, half of its body was frozen into a block of ice.
Seeing this from a distance, Xiao Pi closed its eyes in satisfaction.
Its Helping Hand had made a great contribution.
I should have enough merit now, right?
Perhaps in a few more days, my master will let me officially start learning Moonblast~
In a daze, it thought it heard its master's voice, as if comforting and encouraging it.
"Good job, Tool Pi~"
Blue shouted from a distance.
Clefairy: "?"
The next second, its vision was completely covered by countless ferocious Air Slash attacks.
This time, even with the Eviolite, Clefairy couldn't take it. Its vision went black, and it fainted completely.
But the mental damage was definitely greater than the physical...
"Crobat!!"
Following Lambda's roar, the Crobat before him sharpened its gaze and spread its wings again.
A powerful gale raged, shattering all the ice covering its body.
"Cro..."
But at this moment, it could only pant in mid-air, its injuries clearly severe.
To take two super-effective, high-power moves—one of them a Helping Hand-Plus version—and still be standing, already spoke to the vast level gap between them.
To be pushed to the brink of being Unable to Battle by a rookie girl...
Even in a two-on-one, it made Lambda burn with shame and anger.
"Crobat, use Leech Life!"
Hmph, that Clefairy over there is Unable to Battle. Let's see who can save you this time!
"Swoosh!"
Crobat's speed was like lightning. It flew in front of Nidorina in an instant, while the latter was only just beginning to gather the energy for Thunderbolt.
"Crobat!!"
Crobat bit down on Nidorina's neck, its two sharp fangs piercing right through its scaly skin.
The next second, a steady stream of strength began to flow into it.
"Xiaona!"
Blue cried out in alarm, hastily pulling out a Poké Ball to recall Nidorina.
But before the red light could cover her Pokémon, a vicious smile once again spread across Lambda's lips.
"Crobat, use Pursuit!"
Crobat swung its wing, unleashing a heavy, lightning-fast strike that slammed into Nidorina's belly.
The ferocious attack instantly made Nidorina's eyes roll back into its head, rendering it Unable to Battle.
Only then did the Poké Ball's red light arrive, belatedly sucking Nidorina inside.
Pursuit's damage doubles when the opponent is switching their Pokémon out.
"You sly bastard..."
Just as an infuriated Blue was about to switch to her next Pokémon...
Crobat struck again with the speed of lightning, its form appearing behind her head.
It bent a wing, the edge sharper than any blade, and held it against her neck.
"Little girl, I don't have time to play with you anymore."
Lambda had lost his patience. In an instant, he had subdued her.
