After recalling Blaziken, Xinhai took a Poké Ball from his waist and released Mightyena to face Instructor Sasaki's second Pokémon: Snorlax.
This Snorlax was even larger than others of its kind, standing more than five meters tall, like a gray hill pressing down on the center of the field.
Mightyena circled it at high speed, constantly launching probing attacks with Shadow Ball and Dark Pulse, trying to find a gap in its defenses.
But Snorlax remained completely unmoved. It only occasionally raised a hand and delivered a Body Slam, forcing Mightyena back several meters.
It executed its defensive counterattack strategy flawlessly—you couldn't hurt it, while it could steadily wear you down.
The two battled for nearly ten minutes. Mightyena's stamina was gradually drained away, and it finally lost the ability to battle under a heavy Mega Punch.
Xinhai sent out Blaziken again. Though Blaziken had not fully recovered its strength, it immediately launched into an extreme fast-attack rhythm—Flame Charge, Quick Attack, and Blaze Kick in rapid succession, like a crimson whirlwind relentlessly battering Snorlax.
Snorlax's massive body finally gave out beneath the continuous high-speed blows and crashed to the ground.
Blaziken's own knees weakened from the repeated high-intensity bursts, and Xinhai had no choice but to recall it into its Poké Ball for the second time.
Sceptile came out next, while Instructor Sasaki sent out Exploud.
A deafening Boomburst erupted from deep within Exploud's throat, the sound waves crashing across the entire field in tangible surges.
Before Sceptile could even dash forward, the sonic waves shook it back again and again.
It tried to use Seed Bomb to keep Exploud at range, but Exploud's sound-based attacks did not fall for that.
In the end, Sceptile endured a direct hit from the sound waves and forced its way to Exploud's side,
