Rapidash, wrapped in powerful currents, Walked on Waves. It looked majestic and valiant, its bearing extraordinary.
Sharpedo, on the other hand, sent chills down people's spines with its gaping maw. Its uneven body had no beauty to speak of, as if it had been born to play the villain.
So villains deserved to be defeated? Countless spectators thought so. After all, Sato was an outsider, while Flint was Sinnoh's rising star.
Unfortunately, reality's icy rain brutally woke them up.
Rapidash was extremely fast, but Sharpedo was even faster! Moreover, Above The Ocean Wave was Sharpedo's territory. Even if Rapidash could walk on waves, it could not match Sharpedo forming another towering wave with a mere thought.
He couldn't catch it! Flint could not help clenching his fists. Watching Rapidash struggle desperately on the field, he did not dare tell it to stop.
At that moment, Sharpedo's Surf nearly covered the entire field. If Rapidash stopped, it was bound to be swallowed by the surging waves.
But Sharpedo had always been faster than Rapidash, and now it was swimming through the waves. Rapidash simply could not catch up.
Thus, Rapidash's seemingly brilliant counterattack had instead trapped itself in an extremely awkward situation.
On the spectator stand, Chikuno Shook Her Head gently. Although Flint was one of the outstanding Trainers she had devoted herself to nurturing, he was always somewhat overly aggressive in his tactics.
The problem was that he was not strong enough. There was no way for him to ensure that every time he Took the Initiative to Attack, he could return safely.
Then Rapidash was truly in an awkward position. After once again crossing a wave, its speed inevitably slowed somewhat, and it could no longer sustain its movement Above The Ocean Wave.
