The Most Familiar Opponent!

Two turns had already passed since the match began, and Sharpedo's speed had increased considerably.

"Sharpedo, Dark Pulse!"

"Swampert, Muddy Water!"

Ryoko's command had barely left her mouth when Sharpedo had already appeared behind Swampert, opening its jaws and firing off a powerful Dark Pulse.

The second... the third... the fourth...

"Wally!"

Swampert finally could not hold back its
