The instant the two forces collided at the center of the field, the purple-black energy of Poison Jab and the sky-blue energy of Brave Bird clashed wildly, canceling each other out.
The next second, Beedrill, which had been sent flying by Brave Bird, tumbled toward the ground. Only when it was four or five meters above the ground did it barely manage to steady itself.
Although Pidgeot had also been injured, it was only lightly hurt. There was merely a purple-black wound on the feathers over its chest, though it would have a considerable impact on Pidgeot in a prolonged battle.
The toxins in its two wounds continued to affect Pidgeot, making every flap of its wings more strenuous. Even its flying altitude had clearly dropped quite a bit.
Seeing that this attack had failed to directly knock Beedrill out of the fight, Haruki Inoue furrowed his brows, worried about Pidgeot's current condition.
He could tell that the Poison effect was severely weakening Pidgeot's ability to keep fighting. The longer this dragged on, the worse it would become for him.
However, after being struck by Brave Bird, a move that had the Type advantage over it, Beedrill had suffered far more damage than Pidgeot had taken in the clash. It probably would not be able to hold on much longer either.
