Protect's barrier was completely bypassed by Jumpluff's Ability, and Bullet Seed struck Cloyster directly.
The Grass-type attack knocked off nearly two-fifths of Cloyster's HP.
"What's going on? Why didn't my Protect work?"
Xiao Wei stared at the scene before him in disbelief.
"The opposing Jumpluff's Ability is Infiltrator. It lets a Pokémon's moves bypass all kinds of protective barriers. It can even ignore Substitute."
Zhang Cheng explained Jumpluff's Ability to Xiao Wei. Without a system, Xiao Wei naturally had no way of knowing what Ability Jumpluff had.
"There's an Ability like that?" Xiao Wei was stunned by Zhang Cheng's explanation. He had never encountered such an Ability before.
"In that case, there's no point defending. We'll go all out against Combusken." After learning about Jumpluff's Ability, Xiao Wei abandoned defense. They couldn't block its attacks anyway.
"Cloyster, use Water Pulse on Combusken!"
Cloyster rapidly gathered water energy, directing a large amount of it into the spike atop its head.
A massive amount of water energy condensed within the spike, then transformed into rippling waves under Cloyster's control.
Once formed, the waves surged toward Combusken.
"Pidgeotto, use Air Slash on Combusken!"
Zhang Cheng planned to attack Combusken alongside Cloyster. With the rain boosting their attacks, Combusken would never withstand both of them.
"Pidge! Pidge!"
Pidgeotto rapidly beat its wings, drawing in the surrounding Flying-type energy.
Under Pidgeotto's control, the abundant Flying-type energy transformed into invisible blades, which shot toward Combusken.
"Combusken, use Double Kick on Cloyster!"
Seeing his opponents concentrate their attacks, Xiang Chen ordered Combusken to strike back.
Xiang Chen chose Cloyster as the target because Fighting-type moves were ineffective against Pidgeotto, while the rain weakened Fire-type moves.
Ultimately, Xiang Chen had few options. Having Combusken attack Cloyster with a Fighting-type move would give him the best results.
