Seeing Electivire preparing to use [Earthquake], Sui Yan's lips curled slightly.
My Arcanine has undergone special training!
Electivire had just raised its foot, and before it could bring it down, Arcanine had already slipped out from behind Electivire.
"Smack!"
Arcanine's paw struck Electivire squarely in the kidney, sending Electivire stumbling.
"Now, Close Combat!"
Although Electivire was holding an Expert Belt, [Rain] had not ended yet.
So Sui Yan did not have his Arcanine use a Fire-type move that received STAB.
Even so, that attack still left Electivire on its last legs.
"Thunder!"
Taking advantage of [Rain] about to disappear, Lu Ze also commanded his Electivire to use [Thunder].
[Thunder] hit, likewise leaving Arcanine on its last legs.
Although both Pokémon were equally weakened, neither had lost the ability to battle.
Electivire and Arcanine stood in the arena, both panting heavily as they watched one another.
"Finish him with Flamethrower!"
"Thunderbolt!"
The two Pokémon used their moves simultaneously. Flame and lightning collided, then exploded.
Black smoke billowed from the explosion. Blast Burn burst out from within it and struck Electivire head-on!
At the same time, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky and hit Arcanine.
"Both Pokémon have lost the ability to battle. Contestants, please switch Pokémon!"
As the black smoke dispersed, Arcanine and Electivire were both lying on the ground. The referee hurried forward to check on them before speaking.
"Not bad."
Lu Ze smiled at Sui Yan and took out a Poké Ball, recalling his Electivire.
Sui Yan did the same.
After recalling their Pokémon that had lost the ability to battle, they each sent out their third Pokémon.
"Crawdaunt?"
After sending out his Pokémon, Sui Yan looked at Crawdaunt in the arena with some surprise.
He truly had not expected Lu Ze to send out Crawdaunt, which
