Chapter 378: Terrance vs Elite Four Phoebe
Drifloon’s timing was impeccable. Whether it was the subtle shifts in air currents, the exact moment the opponent descended, or even how their movements altered the air currents—Drifloon grasped it all with absolute clarity.
Terrance’s pupils contracted. In his view, this Drifloon couldn’t have been trained for more than a year.
Yet its mastery over air currents felt as though it had been training for years.
“This Drifloon’s talent in perceiving air currents rivals, if not surpasses, that of Beautifly,” Terrance could not but admit.
No wonder Phoebe chose to send out a non-main Pokémon that hasn’t even fully matured for battle. Against an average Trainer, relying on her expertise with Ghost-Type Pokémon and remarkable mastery of air currents was more than sufficient.
“Drifloon, Shadow Ball,” Phoebe commanded softly.
Mid-air, Houndoom’s leaping Bite attack struck emptiness, releasing a shockwave. Within that shockwave, Drifloon floated effortlessly, like a fish swimming through water. In a blink, a dense, shadowy energy coalesced into a Shadow Ball, its trajectory precise as it targeted a specific point along Houndoom’s descent.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Terrifying energy fluctuations spread out. Houndoom let out a pained groan as it was blasted away. Seeing Houndoom’s condition, everyone froze in shock.
