"Elekid, use Thunderbolt!"
At Gary's command, streams of golden electricity immediately crackled over Elekid's body. They converged into a Thunderbolt that shot toward Makuhita.
Facing the incoming Thunderbolt, Brawly immediately gave Makuhita an order.
"Makuhita, use Fire Punch!"
Upon receiving Brawly's command, Makuhita's right arm immediately ignited with Scorching Flames before it swung its fist at the incoming Thunderbolt.
Before long, Makuhita's Fire Punch clashed with Thunderbolt. Flames and electricity fought fiercely across the battlefield.
Although Makuhita desperately resisted Elekid's Thunderbolt, the powerful impact still forced it back several steps.
Fortunately, Makuhita managed to block Elekid's attack with all its strength.
"Now it's our turn. Use Rock Slide!"
The moment Brawly finished speaking, Makuhita slammed its fist heavily into the ground. More than a dozen rocks rose up under its control and flew toward Elekid like cannonballs.

After receiving Gary's command, Elekid immediately used Quick Attack, weaving continuously through the rocks like a streak of white lightning.
At the same time, Elekid used the opportunity to rapidly close in on Makuhita.
"Just what I wanted." Watching Elekid swiftly approach, Brawly's lips curled upward. "Makuhita, use Brick Break!"
"We're going too, Elekid! Thunder Punch!"
As Gary and Brawly issued their commands one after another, Makuhita swung a fist glowing white, while Elekid threw a fist flickering with strands of Golden Lightning.
The two Pokémon clashed on the battlefield, trading blows back and forth. For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand.
However, after several exchanges, Makuhita was just about to attack Elekid with another Brick Break.
But the instant it raised its fist, tiny currents suddenly flickered across its body. Those currents paralyzed Makuhita's movements.
Because of that, Makuhita was struck head-on by the incoming Thunder Punch and knocked several steps back.
"That's Static!" There was no
