After its Anger Point Ability activated, Primeape's attack power was truly terrifying.
Four consecutive attacks had knocked out four of their Pokémon outright. Even Cloyster's Protect had failed to withstand a blow, showing just how frightening Primeape's attack power had become.
If they had failed to take down Primeape just then, the situation would have become extremely dangerous.
After Marshtomp lost the ability to battle, only their two Flying-type Pokémon remained fit to fight, and Primeape would have had trouble reaching them.
That meant Primeape would certainly have targeted Zhang Cheng and Xiao Wei instead. In that situation, Pidgeotto and Ninjask would have had to face Primeape head-on to protect their Trainers.
But Flying-type Pokémon were physically fragile. If Primeape had managed to attack with two more moves, all their Pokémon would have been defeated.
"Thank goodness we took down that Primeape. I never thought we'd be unlucky enough to trigger its Ability right at the start," Xiao Wei said, his whole body going limp as he slumped to the ground.
Xiao Wei had remained tense throughout the battle. Now that he could relax, he felt completely drained.

Since the poison hadn't been cured, the Lum Berry must have been used up earlier.
The situation had been too urgent for them to think about the Berry at the time. Defeating Primeape as quickly
