Quick Attack launched, and Doduo slammed its entire body into Pidgeotto, sending it flying.
"It looks like we can't use flight to our advantage. Doduo can't fly, but its jumping ability is every bit as good."
Zhang Cheng had no choice but to meet it head-on. "Pidgeotto, use Steel Wing!"
"Pidge~pidge!"
Pidgeotto was furious after taking that hit and immediately attacked upon hearing its Trainer's command.
A massive amount of Steel-type energy gathered over Pidgeotto's wings, turning them as hard as steel.
Once the energy had gathered, Pidgeotto swung its wings and attacked Doduo.
Seeing Pidgeotto attack, Xie Wen dared not let his guard down and quickly ordered Doduo to counter. "Doduo, use Aerial Ace!"
"Doduo~"
Doduo rapidly gathered Flying-type energy and clashed with Pidgeotto's Steel Wing.
The two moves collided and briefly reached a stalemate. In the end, Pidgeotto's attack proved stronger, breaking through Doduo's Aerial Ace before its wings struck Doduo's body.
"Doduo~Doduo~"
Doduo cried out in pain from the Steel Wing, clearly having taken considerable damage.
Seeing his Doduo fall behind so quickly, Xie Wen grew anxious. "Doduo, pull yourself together! Use Agility and Close Combat, then unleash Fury Attack!"
"Doduo~"
A surge of Psychic-type energy spread over Doduo's body, creating three identical figures that attacked from different directions.
Faced with the opposing Pokémon's Double Team, Pidgeotto was at a loss, unable to tell which Doduo was real.
"Pidgeotto, calm down! Wait until Doduo gets close, then use Protect!" Zhang Cheng immediately issued a countermeasure.
With its Trainer guiding it, Pidgeotto stopped panicking. It steadied itself and used Protect, forming a transparent barrier around its body.
Doduo unleashed Fury Attack, thrusting its beak at Pidgeotto.
But just as it reached Pidgeotto, Doduo's beak struck a barrier. The attack failed, and the collision left its pointed beak aching.
