Xu Mu was a little taken aback.
Liu Shuo had never told him the exact rules. He knew it was an underground fight, but he hadn't expected the rules to be this brutal.
"So I can attack the opposing Trainer directly?"

Besides, a no-holds-barred Pokémon battle with no restrictions was exactly what Xu Mu
