The opposing Trainer's face was ashen. Two of his Pokémon had been knocked out in a row despite having the type advantage. Was he really going to lose today?
At that thought, he gritted his teeth and summoned another mid Elite Class Pokémon, a Manectric.
This canine Pokémon could release powerful currents from its mane and was also adept at creating thunderclouds.
As a result, it could learn Rain Dance more easily than other Electric-type Pokémon.
Xiao Ran noticed this right at the start. With a low growl, dark clouds began gathering overhead. Rain was on its way.
An Electric-type Pokémon's strongest attack in the rain was Thunder. The move dealt tremendous damage but was notoriously hard to land; in rainy weather, however, it was guaranteed to hit.
With Electric Terrain covering the ground as well, a single strike would leave Primarina no less injured than Thunderbolt had.
After all, Thunderbolt was an area attack, whereas Thunder targeted a single opponent.
Of course, rain wasn't without its benefits for Primarina. It made Thunder sure to hit, but the abundant Water-type energy also gave Water-type moves a tremendous boost.
So when Xiao Ran saw the opponent use Rain Dance, he immediately had Primarina use Surf.
"Manectric, use Discharge!" Faced with the surging wave, the opposing Trainer showed no fear at all and ordered Manectric to charge straight into it.
Electricity surged over Manectric's body. Vast streams of yellow current spread rapidly outward from it, with the incoming Surf naturally receiving the brunt of the attack.
Water itself didn't conduct electricity, but the water rolling across the ground was naturally anything but pure. Current flowed along the waves and into Primarina's body, and a pained expression gradually appeared on its face.
Without the protection of Misty Terrain, Xiao Ran had no doubt
