When Lin Yun saw her opponent send out the badly poisoned Pidgeotto, she immediately ordered Nidorina to use Venoshock.
Venoshock dealt double damage to poisoned or badly poisoned opponents. If this attack landed, Pidgeotto, already in poor condition, might be knocked out outright.
Hearing her Trainer's command, Nidorina quickly gathered Poison-type energy.
A large amount of Poison-type energy collected in Nidorina's mouth.
Under Nidorina's control, the Poison-type energy turned into a glob of venom that shot toward Pidgeotto in the air, carrying tremendous destructive power.
"Pidgeotto, quick, use Protect!"
Seeing Nidorina's Venoshock coming, Zhang Cheng ordered Pidgeotto to use Protect without hesitation.
Pidgeotto could not withstand a double-damage Venoshock.
"Pidge! Pidge!"
Pidgeotto also sensed the threat of Venoshock and rapidly beat its wings.
Pidgeotto gathered a large amount of energy, forming a sturdy, transparent barrier in front of itself.

The spikes hurtled toward Nidorina with tremendous lethal force.
But just as they were about to hit Nidorina, Forretress moved in front of her and took all five spikes for her.
Forretress had
