Kirby was the first to charge forward towards Duck Hunt, quickly flipping forward and delivering a powerful tornado kick that Duck Hunt... blocked. Each hit simply bounced off a sphere of gray light that suddenly appeared as the duo ducked under it. The sphere shrunk slightly with each hit, but Kirby lost balance and stopped his attack before Duck Hunt's shield shrunk very much. They then dropped their shield before Duck reached forward and grabbed hold of Kirby's arm with his mouth. Hunt then struck Kirby on the forehead once with his bill before Duck spun around and threw Kirby into the air. However, this left Duck Hunt open to a fully charged Rollout attack from Jigglypuff that she was charging while Kirby distracted the duo. The Balloon Pokemon slammed into Duck Hunt at high speed, launching them backwards. After recovering, Jigglypuff leapt forwards and upwards, puffing herself up with air a couple of times to gain altitude and distance, before moving in and delivering a powerful Pound attack that sent Duck Hunt flying skyward. Jigglypuff couldn't gain any more altitude in order to continue the combo, but this was quickly resolved by Kirby quickly leaping up towards Duck Hunt and readying a Hammer Flip. Before Kirby could get the attack off, however, the two righted themselves and Hunt lunged forward to knock Kirby back with a powerful beak strike that knocked the Star Warrior backwards. Kirby fell, and Duck landed on all fours, Hunt quickly returning to his companion's back.
