A Big Problem

Since that was the case, Yu Hai immediately changed tactics. It was not as if he had not considered this possibility before, so he did not need to think. "Lucario, Dig..."

"Don't stop. Use Magnet Pull to sense Lucario's direction, Lock-On to Lucario, then use Zap Cannon..."

"Lucario, come out! Bonemerang..."

Rumble—

Lucario burst from the ground directly beneath the rapidly spinning Magnezone. The energy bone club ground against metal, and Lucario had to endure tremendous recoil. If it continued for too long, even its arms would start to go numb.

"Magnezone, Thunder..."

"Lucario, hold on," Yu Hai said. Seeing Magnezone use Thunder while spinning, he had no particularly good answer.

Fortunately, Electric-type attacks only dealt normal damage to Lucario. Since it was in contact with the ground, it could channel the electric current underground, so it did not suffer much damage. It merely had to endure the current passing through its body.

But Bonemerang was not very effective either. Magnezone was using Rapid Spin, and every strike was knocked away by its spinning body. Unless they could interrupt Magnezone's rotation.

As for why Lucario did not run?

Magnezone's Magnet Pull had long since locked onto Lucario. As long as it increased the magnetic restraint, Lucario would feel as though it were carrying several versions of itself. Running would only drag Magnezone along and waste unnecessary stamina.

"Lucario, use Confusion to pin Magnezone down..."

"Lucario," Lucario responded, slowly putting away its energy bone club. It covered the pads on its hands with Confusion, placed them against the rapidly spinning Magnezone, and gradually pressed it downward.

Screech, screech—

The moment Magnezone touched the ground, it made a sound like tires skidding. Lucario had already enveloped the entire spinning steel sphere with Confusion, continuing to force Magnezone downward.

Now it was a
