"Last time we met, special circumstances kept us from having a battle."
On the battlefield, Wallace held a Poké Ball and said to Lu Ze, "Today, we finally have the chance."
This time, the battlefield was a Water Field.
After all, they were inside a Water-type Pokémon Gym.
At the center of the entire field was an island about three meters in diameter, surrounded by a ring of water, with land beyond it.
As Wallace spoke with Lu Ze, the referee's flag dropped, and he threw out the Poké Ball in his hand.
At the same time, Lu Ze smiled and threw out his own Poké Ball alongside Wallace.
Once Wallace entered battle mode, he did not seem as delicate as Lu Ze remembered.
"Last time, I actually really wanted to battle the two of you, but neither the time nor the place was suitable, so I gave up in the end."
"But this time is different."
Two Pokémon appeared on the field. Wallace had sent out a Ludicolo.
Pokémon: Ludicolo
Gender: Female
Type: Water, Grass
Ability: Swift Swim (In battle, a Pokémon with this Ability has its Speed doubled in Rain.)
Potential: Purple
Basic Moves: Omitted
Egg Moves: Omitted
The Water-and-Grass-type Ludicolo was weak to Flying, Poison, and Bug-type moves.
Coincidentally, the Pokémon Lu Ze had chosen was Sirfetch'd.
"Swish!"
As the referee's small flag fell, their battle officially began.
"First Impression!"
It was a priority move, and a Bug-type one at that. Lu Ze chose it without hesitation.
After all, this move could deal double damage to Ludicolo.
"Fake Out!"
However, Wallace understood that as well and likewise commanded his Ludicolo to use a priority move.
[Fake Out] had higher priority than [First Impression], so Ludicolo struck Sirfetch'd first.
Sirfetch'd's [First Impression] was interrupted.
A trace of regret
