"That last move was pretty interesting. Now I'm really fired up!"
"Mienshao, go!"
Marshal's eyes burned with excitement. He recalled the unconscious Scrafty and sent out Mienshao instead.
Mienshao resembled a weasel, its body pure white with delicate purple markings. Its arms hung like flowing sleeves, while its long whiskers and tail gave it an air of mystery and grace.
"A Fighting-type Mienshao? Walrein, I'm counting on you again!"
After a moment's thought, Bai Shi kept Walrein on the field.
