"Grovyle, use Leaf Blade!"
Just as Grovyle swung its Leaf Blade toward Onix, Valerie suddenly gave Onix an order.
"Onix, use Take Down!"
The Onix lying on the ground suddenly raised its head, charged forward, and slammed its sturdy head into the unprepared Grovyle.
Grovyle was knocked back on the spot by the Take Down, but it managed to steady itself in midair, flipped over, and landed safely.

Facing the rocks rushing in like a rain of swords, Grovyle began to glow faintly before charging toward Onix with lightning speed.
Although it faced Onix's barrage of rocks along the way, Grovyle still weaved through them with agile movements, dodging one rock after another.

Onix's Iron Tail struck only one of the Double Team illusions and failed to hit Grovyle's true body.
"Good, now's the
