After discovering how difficult it was to withstand Tauros's attacks, Zhang Cheng had thought of this move.

His opponent had no system, so he had no way of knowing that Poliwhirl had inherited Endeavor.

"Poli~ Poli~"

Poliwhirl attacked just then, using Endeavor to severely injure the sleeping Tauros.

Both Pokémon were now badly injured. Poliwhirl immediately followed up with Body Slam, leaping into the air before crashing down and knocking out Tauros just as it woke up.

Tauros was unable to battle. Xie Wen now had only one Pokémon left.

But Zhang Cheng did not relax. He worried that Xie Wen's last Pokémon might be too high-level for him to handle.

Although he held the advantage, neither Poliwag nor Pidgeotto was in good shape. Mareep was only level 10, leaving it somewhat lacking in battle.

Seeing his Tauros defeated, Xie Wen looked utterly incredulous. Then he accepted the result and said, "I never thought I'd be beaten by a move I knew so well. Now it's time to bring out my last Pokémon."

As he spoke, Xie Wen brought out his sole remaining Pokémon. "Come out, Slowpoke."

Xie Wen's final Pokémon was Slowpoke, a Water- and Psychic-type.

Seeing Xie Wen send out a Water-type Pokémon, Zhang Cheng felt the situation had improved somewhat. This gave Mareep a greater advantage.

With that in mind, Zhang Cheng opened the system to check Slowpoke's details:

``` Name: Slowpoke (level 14)
