"Coil to absorb the impact, and use Vine Whip at the same time!"
Serperior instantly coiled its slender body, its tightly braced posture perfectly absorbing the force of the head-on impact. At the same time, several supple vines shot out, wrapping precisely around the diving Charizard's limbs and the bases of his wings.
