"Come back, Electivire." Taro reacted quickly, recalling Electivire with a Poké Ball just as the Earthquake shockwave was about to reach it. He knew Electivire had lost this battle.

Electivire had used Thunder Punch without unleashing its full power, saving some strength to use Protect against the explosion.

After several days, Ludicolo took the field again. Last time, it had
