"This was perfect. Neither Pokémon could be switched out now."
The commentator smiled as well. "One was hit by Fire Spin, and the other by Whirlpool."
"It looked like the two Pokémon had to determine a winner before either side could switch Pokémon."
The commentator's words sparked another wave of cheers from the audience.
However, most of the spectators were cheering for Lu Ze.
Although Sui Yan had been constantly climbing the Pokémon World Championships rankings lately, rising at an incredible speed,
the audience was still more familiar with Lu Ze.
That was why most of the cheers were directed at Lu Ze and Crawdaunt.
Fortunately, neither of the two battlers could hear the audience.
Otherwise, Sui Yan probably would not have been in a very good mood.
After both Pokémon were unable to switch out, Lu Ze immediately commanded Crawdaunt to change the weather.
Fire Spin had just landed, so Torkoal clearly did not have time to use another move to interrupt Crawdaunt's weather change.
However, Sui Yan did not panic. Rather than attacking, he once again commanded Torkoal to use Sunny Day.
Judging by the timing, just after Crawdaunt changed the weather, Torkoal would be able to use Sunny Day.
It would change the weather back immediately after Crawdaunt did.
And Crawdaunt would fall into the same situation Torkoal had just been in.
Having just used a move, it would be unable to interrupt Torkoal.
"Interesting."
As the raindrops had only just begun to fall before the blazing sun scattered the clouds, Lu Ze chuckled.
But being unable to interrupt did not mean it could not use another move.
For example, Swords Dance.
Crawdaunt used Swords Dance, and Torkoal likewise had no time to use a move to interrupt it.
"They're exploiting each other's move activation timing."
