After defeating Mega Manectric, Scrafty's body glowed with a faint white light. Its Moxie Ability must have been activated.
This also gave Scrafty's Attack a considerable boost.
"Come back, Manectric! Dudunsparce, I'm counting on you!"
Bai Shi's expression darkened as he recalled Manectric and sent Dudunsparce into battle.
He had never expected his "secret weapon," Mega Manectric, to be defeated by Marshal so quickly.
It had not even given him a chance to switch Pokémon.
In Bai Shi's original plan, he had intended to use the "Tian Ji horse strategy."
He would have used the strongest of his team's top three Pokémon, Mega Manectric, to defeat two of Marshal's relatively weaker Pokémon.
That would have given him a sufficient advantage early in the upcoming battle.
Now that Mega Manectric had fallen, his plan had naturally gone up in smoke.
"Dudunsparce, use Stealth Rock!"
After the battle resumed, Bai Shi was eager to regain the upper hand and directed Dudunsparce.
He wanted to use Stealth Rock to weaken Marshal's Pokémon when they entered the field later.
"Scrafty, use Taunt again!"
Marshal repeated the same tactic and called out to Scrafty.
Scrafty crooked a finger, provoking Dudunsparce.
Overcome with rage, Dudunsparce instantly forgot Bai Shi's commands and spewed a scorching flame toward Scrafty.
"Scrafty, now!"
Marshal remained calm and issued his command in time.
Following his orders, Scrafty pulled up the yellow skin that looked like a pair of pants and blocked Dudunsparce's Flamethrower.
"Scrafty, use Rock Tomb!"
Marshal took advantage of the opening and ordered Scrafty to counterattack.
Scrafty conjured several enormous rocks and hurled them at Dudunsparce.
"Dudunsparce, use Dig!"
Bai Shi's eyes shifted as he called out to Dudunsparce.
Since it couldn't handle its opponent head-on, it might as well try attacking from underground.
Dudunsparce quickly burrowed underground, dodging
