After the attack ended, the surroundings were a complete mess, and the battlefield had been utterly wrecked.
The three Pokémon lay on the ground, covered in marks left by claw attacks.
They had collapsed to the ground and completely lost their ability to fight.
Beedrill, Scizor, and Golisopod calmly stood before Eichi.
