Inside the cave, only Cradily was still holding on desperately. Without any teammates, aside from being somewhat tough-skinned and durable, it no longer posed much of a threat. All that remained was to wear it down slowly.
After ten minutes of relentless bombardment from the Four Pokemon, Cradily finally collapsed under the strain.
Because it had used Recover so frequently, it had expended far more energy than the other Three Pokemon and would have difficulty regaining consciousness within a short period of time.
Up to this point, the battle was over! Sato slowly withdrew his Dark Power, then sat down on the ground with a thud, panting heavily.
Zoroark and the others' auras quickly fell back, returning to their respective Pseudo-Elite Four Levels.
But before long, the Four Pokemon's auras rose once again, each breaking through by a small step!
Zoroark, Pseudo-Elite Four Peak!
Tyranitar, Pseudo-Elite Four Peak! Sharpedo, Pseudo-Elite Four High-Level! Hydreigon, Pseudo-Elite Four High-Level!
Sato pumped his fist hard. He had not expected his partners to be this impressive.
But thinking about their nonstop battles over the past few days, they had already accumulated enough insights. They had only lacked that final bit of stimulation.
