Seeing Altaria knocked back to the ground, Xinhai's face showed a flicker of delight as he immediately ordered, "Charizard, Flamethrower!"
Having steadied itself, Charizard endured the waves of pain from its abdomen as crimson flames spilled from its mouth, sweeping toward Altaria.
Instructor Sato's expression turned slightly grave at the sight. He shouted, "Hurricane, Altaria!"
Altaria swiftly rose to its feet. Since it had protected itself when landing, Charizard's Tackle had not caused it much damage.
Its wings, covered in Flying type energy, flapped rapidly. As it rode the airflow back into the sky, it condensed a small Twister in front of the Flamethrower.

Charizard beat its wings and spewed several spiraling flames from its mouth. Like rings of fire thrown into the air, they closed in on Altaria from every direction.
The Fire Spins rapidly contracted from all sides, forming a rotating cage of flames around Altaria and squeezing its
