"Shuppet!" the Hall member cried out in anguish.
This was no common Pokémon like Arbok. Shuppet were rare to begin with, and now that Umbreon had caught this one in its jaws, it fluttered to the ground like a torn rag. It might well have lost its life.
Though Shuppet sounded terrifying and appeared and vanished without a trace, its base stats and vitality were actually extremely poor. After taking Umbreon's Bite, even if it survived, it would still be seriously injured.
"Sylveon, Draining Kiss!"
"Milotic, Brine! Finish them off!"
At that moment, Xiao Ran and Chen San also jumped out of the rock wall with their Pokémon, leaving only the gravely injured Arbok and the pinned Sandslash inside.
The spikes on Sandslash's body were embedded firmly in Arbok, preventing it from even burrowing away for the moment. It could only remain a sitting duck.
At the command, Sylveon immediately leaped forward and lightly touched Sandslash with the tip of its foot. A great deal of vitality was instantly drained away. Though there was no wound, Sandslash looked much older all over.
At the same time, Milotic began gathering the power of water, then sprayed a seemingly ordinary jet of water at Arbok and Sandslash.
Yet when that stream struck Arbok, it let out a hiss of agony.
Brine sprayed salt water onto an opponent's wounds. The sensation was nothing short of excruciating.
After that agony, Arbok and Sandslash collapsed like heaps of sludge, leaving only faint sounds of breathing.
"Time to deal with the rest!" Having finished off the Elite Class Arbok and the two Entry Class Pokémon, Xiao Ran and the others were finally free to support the other battles.
Their first targets were the two Elite Class Golbat locked in combat with Primarina.
Primarina was far stronger
