Facing ga Lopunny's blind assault, Arbok—still fueled by the power of Outrage—refused to yield a single inch. It lunged forward, Psychic Fangs bared, aiming to tear through the rabbit's defenses.
Even with its eyes clamped shut, ga Lopunny perford a staggering feat of agility. Sensing the displacent of air, it twisted mid-motion, letting the fangs snap shut on empty air. Simultaneously, it pivoted and drove a heavy fist into Arbok's side.
Fortunately, with Multiscale still protecting its hide, the Dizzy Punch failed to deal significant damage.
"CHAAAA!!!! —"
Arbok hissed in pain and irritation. It whipped its tail around, launching a retaliatory Poison Jab.
Knowing it had landed its blow, ga Lopunny didn't overstay its welco. It leaped backward, putting distance between them.
Kenji frowned. Logically, losing its sight should have crippled ga Lopunny's combat effectiveness, yet the rabbit seed to be moving with eerie precision. It was barely hindered at all.
His gaze flickered to the opposite trainer's box, and realization dawned on him.
Tanya Tang was standing perfectly still, her eyes locked on the battlefield with terrifying intensity. She wasn't saying a word, but her mind was racing.
It was a well-known fact that the ga Evolution bond allowed for a direct link between the hearts and minds of trainer and Pokémon.
ga Lopunny had closed its eyes to avoid Arbok's Glare, but Tanya was still watching. The arena's energy barrier blocked the psychological effects of the Dragon Might Pattern from affecting the spectators.
Essentially, Tanya had beco ga Lopunny's eyes.
Combined with the rabbit's naturally heightened senses of hearing and sll, the "blindness" was a non-factor.
anwhile, Arbok was burning through a massive amount of stamina. Maintaining Outrage and the Dragon Might Pattern while simultaneously executing high-level attacks was a heavy toll.
Kenji knew he had a trump card that could end this match instantly, but he wasn't ready to show it to the world just yet.
"Arbok! Use Haze!!!"
If the trainer was actings as the eyes, Kenji would simply blind the trainer.
"CHAAA!!! —"
Arbok let out a sharp hiss. A thick, inky black mist began to billow from its body, rapidly expanding until it blanketed the entire arena.
Tanya's brow furrowed. She hadn't expected Kenji to react so quickly to her link strategy.
Within seconds, the battlefield was a void of black fog. The silhouettes of the two Pokémon beca blurred, indistinguishable shapes.
Inside the mist, ga Lopunny dropped into a low crouch. Her long ears twitched, scanning for the sound of movent, while her small black nose sniffed the air, searching for the scent of the predator.
"Arbok!! Sludge Bomb!!"
"CHAAA!!! —"
From within the gloom, Arbok unhinged its jaws and spat a barrage of toxic, foul-slling sludge at the rabbit.
ga Lopunny's nose twitched. Despite being sightless, her sense of sll allowed her to pinpoint the trajectory of the incoming projectiles. She danced to the side, letting the toxic orbs pass.
SPLASH! SPLASH!
The Sludge Bombs hit the floor and detonated, coating the ground in a viscous, stinking ss.
A wave of nausea hit ga Lopunny. The stench was overwhelming.
Tanya's expression grew even more grim.
As the putrid scent of the sludge spread through the arena, ga Lopunny's most reliable tracking thod—her sense of sll—was being systematically neutralized.
Sight gone. Sll overwheld.
Tanya's "eyes" were now restricted by the fog, and the rabbit was being forced to rely entirely on its hearing. Her movents beca cautious, stiffened by the lack of sensory data.
Every tiny noise beca a distraction. She was like a bird of prey that had suddenly lost the sky.
SWISH!!! —
The black mist was suddenly stirred. Two points of crimson light—Arbok's eyes—moved through the fog like a shark in dark water.
"Lopunny! Watch out!!"
ga Lopunny whipped around, throwing a blind punch toward the source of the sound.
But the fist t only air.
In the next heartbeat, a searing pain erupted in her arm. Arbok had struck from the opposite side, its fangs sinking deep into her forearm.
"LOPUNNN!!! —"
The shock and the sudden surge of danger broke her composure. In a mont of pure panic, ga Lopunny's eyes snapped open.
"SHIIII!!! —"
Waiting for her was the Dragon Might Pattern.
The skull-like design on Arbok's hood flared with a terrifying red light.
Even for a high-level Champion, the point-blank gaze of the Dragon King was too much. ga Lopunny froze, her nervous system short-circuiting as a wave of paralyzing terror washed over her.
Kenji seized the opening instantly.
Arbok didn't pull away. Instead, it used the bite to anchor itself, coiling its massive, muscular body around the paralyzed rabbit in a split second.
Tighten Coil!!
A lethal combo of Coil and Bind.
Coil: A Poison-type move where the user hones its focus, sharply raising Attack, Defense, and Accuracy.
"LOPUNNN!!! —"
ga Lopunny snapped out of the paralysis, her survival instincts kicking in. She desperately attempted a Substitute.
POOF!
A plush-like decoy appeared in Arbok's coils, and ga Lopunny reappeared a few ters away. She imdiately tried to land a Superpower strike on the snake.
Arbok's hood shifted to the Defense Pattern.
BAM!
The punch landed, but Arbok absorbed the impact with its hardened scales.
At that mont, the Coil buff completed. Arbok was now faster, stronger, and more accurate.
It lunged again. ga Lopunny tried to dodge, but her movents were sluggish.
The paralysis had finally taken root in her muscles!!
Arbok's body lashed out like a whip, encircling the rabbit once more. It squeezed with the force of a hydraulic press. Simultaneously, it unleashed a point-blank Scale Shot, shredding the rabbit's defenses, and followed up with one final, savage Psychic Fangs to the neck.
"LOPUNNN!!!!"
ga Lopunny let out one final, agonized shriek. Having taken multiple Outrage-boosted hits and suffering the health drain from Substitute, she had reached her limit.
A bright flash of white light erupted from her body. The ga Evolution dissolved, and the rabbit reverted to its base form, collapsing limp in Arbok's coils.
