Rapid Progress

Eichi nodded. This time, the skill was unleashed as quickly as it was during training.

The leading Paras was wrapped in a Spider Web and, carried by its momentum, was sent crashing to the ground.

"Larvesta, String Shot."

Larvesta stayed where it was, opened its tiny mouth, and in an instant, a white thread shot from its mouth with lightning speed.

The other three Paras tried to dodge to the side.

Two of them managed to evade, but one was struck by the thread and bound.

"Larvesta, control that Paras and smash it into the others."

Larvesta manipulated the thread, flinging that Paras toward the nearest one.

"Bang!"

The two Paras collided.

The remaining Paras did not stand idly by and began its attack.

Having lived in the forest for so long, it was always ready for battle.

The two pairs of wings on its back beat frantically as it lowered its large head and charged at Dratini.

"Perfect. Dratini, use Water Gun."

Dratini opened its mouth and fired a Water Pillar.

Whether it was simply stubborn or not, the Paras did not dodge and charged straight ahead.

It met the Water Pillar head-on.

"Bang!"

The Water Pillar slammed into the Paras. For the first two seconds after the impact, it managed to hold on.

But in the end, it was blasted away and crashed into a tree.

"Bang!"

It fell to the ground.

"Joltik, Electric Web."

Joltik responded, and electric currents began constantly surging from its body.

It released them all at once.

The currents rapidly spread out, forming a web of electricity that wrapped around all four Pokémon.

The electricity flowed into their bodies.

Their bodies immediately went numb, and the four Paras soon felt all sensation leave them.

They could not move at all.

"Larvesta, use Ember."
