Chapter 786 - 785: Victory is Within Reach
Wallace knew that in a long-range battle, Milotic would be at a disadvantage. The type disadvantage made it difficult to gain the upper hand, so his only chance lay in close combat.
During previous battles, Wallace had noticed that Florges was a Pokémon specialized in long-range special attacks.
Forcing a close-quarters fight would prevent Florges from using her main moves effectively.
Although Milotic wasn’t an expert in close combat either, it had more tools available.
Milotic possessed close-combat moves, whereas Florges hadn’t shown many so far.
This was because, in Cain’s team, Florges originally played a support role, healing allies from the rear. Only recently had she begun to participate in one-on-one battles.
This lack of experience was a disadvantage.
Furthermore, Wallace’s Milotic, with its exceptional Light Purple quality, had outstanding endurance and combat abilities. Physically, it clearly outclassed Florges.
Both Pokémon, designed for long-range special attacks, were forced into close combat due to Wallace’s strategy.
Finally, Cain had no choice but to command Florges to use her ultimate move.
Petal Dance!
Suddenly, glowing petals appeared in the air, softly falling like a rain of flowers, creating a scene that evoked the feeling of being under a cherry blossom tree.
