All-Around Surpassing

Greninja had been faster than Golisopod from the very beginning.

Since Greninja was not Xiao Ye's Pokémon, she could not issue commands as swiftly as Cousin. From giving an attack order to Greninja carrying it out, they were always a beat slower than Golisopod.

Moreover, Greninja undoubtedly had its own battle habits and tacit understanding, which Xiao Ye clearly lacked.

As a result, although Greninja was stronger than Golisopod, the two had fought to an even match.

Now that Golisopod had broken through to the Elite Four level, the gap was swiftly erased.

Golisopod's Shadow Claw slashed down at Greninja.

What?!!

Greninja discovered that its speed had actually been surpassed.

It immediately erupted with force, bringing the straight triangular blade in its hand down upon the massive energy claw.

"Bang!"

The two clashed once more.

This time, however, the distance they were knocked back was completely different.

Greninja was pushed backward, its feet scraping across the ground for quite a distance.

It could only stop by bending down and pressing its frog-like palms against the ground.

Greninja's expression turned grave. It had not expected this guy to improve so much.

Golisopod also slid about a meter across the ground. Feeling the tremendous power within its body, it brimmed with unprecedented confidence.

Xiao Ye could tell that Greninja had fallen into a disadvantage, and she immediately grew anxious.

"Greninja, use Rain Dance!"

Greninja leaped high into the sky and recited a string of incomprehensible words.

Then dark clouds gathered in an instant.

"Rumble!!" Lightning flashed, and rain began to fall from the sky.

The rain pattered down.

The rain continued falling.

Eichi was somewhat puzzled as to why she had used Rain Dance.

After all, Golisopod was a Water-type Pokémon just like Greninja.

Golisopod would benefit from Rain Dance as well.
