"Hoshi, Substitute and follow with Thunder!"  Pidgeot's attack struck home, but its target was a decoy that broke into ten pieces plus a lookalike of the core.  He had realised the Pokémons' moves hitting with perfect accuracy was because of Pidgeot's ability—an ability he knew very well called No Guard, having trained an Aegislash before it became one.  The real Hoshi was up high and spinning as fast as a generator, its core glowing a bright yellow and electricity arcing between its limbs ready to deliver a strike of lightning.  Time was on the verge of expiring.
