The instant the battle began, Trevenant's Sucker Punch was incredibly fast because Hydreigon had used an attacking move.
Moving after yet striking first, Trevenant's claws, like withered branches, slammed directly into Hydreigon.
Hydreigon staggered from the blow, but Trevenant attacked again.
Branch Poke!
The branches stabbed into Hydreigon's body, making it cry out in pain.

Another Sucker Punch!
Hydreigon was sent flying after being struck again, but this time it successfully opened up some distance.
"Whew!"

As long as it could create some distance, it would be fine.

Lu Ze looked at Hydreigon.
No!
Hydreigon had less than half its stamina left. If Trevenant got close again, it might directly take Hydreigon out.

The initiative was in the opponent's hands.
Lu Ze gently bit his lip. As expected of a veteran Elite Four member—his battle experience was truly abundant.
Although Lu Ze had the type advantage, the initiative was now entirely in his opponent's hands.
"This is difficult. Xiao Ze is completely stuck now unless he
