Chapter 669: The Limit
Yuga: "Absol, use X-Scissor."
Absol exerted force with its hind legs, causing a shower of sand to erupt as it charged fiercely towards Umbreon, creating a profound sense of pressure.
"Umbreon, evade and use Toxic."
Compared to the bulky Absol, Umbreon appeared more agile, effortlessly leaping to avoid Absol's X-Scissor. Simultaneously, it released a burst of toxic liquid that splashed onto Absol.
The dark purple poison sizzled with strong corrosiveness as it tainted Absol's pristine fur, resembling patches of mud on pure white snow, a rather unsightly sight.
Absol fell into a poisoned state, and purple toxic mist emanated from its body, corroding its flesh and causing considerable discomfort.
"Absol!"
The torment from the poison intensified Absol's gaze, which turned even more fierce and ruthless as it locked onto Umbreon.
Seeing Absol poisoned, Gardevoir, who was watching, raised its hand as if to use a Heal Bell on it. In Gardevoir's eyes, there were no battle rules, but Yuga's stern gaze stopped it.
Yuga believed in Absol's resilience; it wouldn't be easily defeated by poison.
At the very least, Absol had an ace up its sleeve.
Absol initiated Sword Dance, aiming to boost its attack power and swiftly deal with Umbreon.
Numerous blue energy swords swiftly rotated around Absol, forming a blooming blue lotus that enveloped the Pokémon. Absol's aura started to rise.
Umbreon attempted to intervene to halt Absol, but Absol responded with a Snarl.
The black soundwave materialized into substance, pushing Umbreon far away.
Unable to get close, Umbreon immediately hurled several Shadow Balls towards Absol.
At this point, Absol had completed one round of enchanment and raised its claws, smashing each incoming Shadow Ball one by one. Then, it launched countless Stone Edge towards Umbreon.
The Stone Edge successfully hit Umbreon, making it appear somewhat distressed, although the injuries weren't severe.
Umbreon's defense was remarkably high.
Slightly injured, Umbreon raised its head, and the golden halo on its forehead emitted a bright light, rapidly restoring Umbreon's condition.
Although it wasn't a sunny day, moonlight was sufficient to heal Umbreon's minor injuries.
The attack power still isn't enough!
Yuga and Absol both thought simultaneously.
Umbreon, being a higher level Pokémon than Absol with exceptionally high defenses, seemed to be Absol's current nemesis.
"Absol, continue with Sword Dance!"
Absol obeyed and once again surrounded itself with energy swords.
This time, Umbreon acted more cunningly, avoiding getting close to Absol and instead employing Dark Pulse from a distance.
The black ring-like energy struck Absol, but it clenched its teeth and didn't interrupt Sword Dance.
Under the influence of the Seed of Unknown, Absol's physical defense exceeded that of its kind. It resisted the Dark Pulse, and Umbreon's limited offensive capabilities, combined with the other factors, allowed Absol to withstand the attack.
Another round of Sword Dance was completed, but Absol didn't stop; it continued to use Sword Dance.
The maximum number of times a Pokémon can use Sword Dance is three, and Yuga's Absol had always been able to achieve only two rounds.
But at this very moment, it was actually attempting to break throught.
Ando and Umbreon certainly didn't want this to happen and quickly launched attacks to stop it, sending wave after wave of Dark Pulse at Absol, all of which it gritted its teeth to endure.
Already suffering from the torment of deadly poison, its stamina was decreasing by the moment. After enduring so many waves of Dark Pulse, Absol was covered in wounds and appeared as though it could collapse at any moment.
However, its determination showed no signs of weakening.
Finally, Absol's aura reached a critical point. A surge of energy enveloped its body, and all the energy swords were absorbed into its body in an instant, causing its aura to soar.
"Absol!"
Absol tilted its head back and roared.
It had succeeded! Yuga thought.

Not only did Absol successfully complete the third round of Sword Dance enhancement, but it also ascended to the pseudo-Elite level.
Despite its numerous injuries, Absol's spirit was high, and its eyes shone brightly.
Feeling the pressure emanating from Absol, Ando and Umbreon both paled. However, Absol was already charging towards them.
During its charge, Absol was surrounded by swirling energy, and Umbreon, caught off guard, was struck directly by Giga Impact. It was sent flying and lay unconscious in the distance.
Even though Umbreon had strong defenses, it couldn't withstand a full-powered strike from Absol, who had undergone three rounds of Sword Dance enhancement and ascended to the pseudo-Elite level.
"You..."
Watching Umbreon lying in the distance, Ando tried to say something but found herself at a loss for words. The girl who had directed Ando was equally shocked.
Ando had been with her for quite some time, and she was well aware of Ando's abilities. He had resolved many crises, and she had never seen him fail before.
She knew that Ando didn't particularly like her, but what did that matter? He was supposed to obediently follow her orders, right?
But today's situation seemed different. Ando had been defeated by someone else.
In the end, it seemed like the last move, Giga Impact, had exhausted all of Absol's energy. It lay motionless on the ground, panting heavily.
Yuga quickly had Gardevoir use Heal Bell to cure Absol of its poisoning. Then, he used Heal Pulse to treat its physical injuries.
"What's happening? What are you all doing?" Just as Yuga was recalling Absol into its Poké Ball and was about to said something, but he saw an Officer Jenny with a Growlithe rushed over to them, full of energy.
