"Aqua Ring!"
Lu Ze couldn't help calling out when he saw Prinplup's move.
It had chosen to use Aqua Ring first to recover some stamina.
A great choice.
After all, even though Piplup had evolved into Prinplup, the stamina Whimsicott had beaten out of it earlier had not recovered.
At most, its stamina limit had increased, and it no longer looked as weak as before.

Electric-type damage still hurt it badly.
If it could dodge, then of course it would not take the attack head-on.
Prinplup continuously dodged Whimsicott's attacks across the wide grass field.

And it was not just Whimsicott and Prinplup.
The same applied to Riolu and any Pokémon they might catch in the future.
When they fought the Pokémon in the Breeding Garden, Lu Ze
