"Shiftry, use Leaf Tornado!"
After sending out Shiftry, Xia Bin quickly ordered it to attack Swampert with its signature Grass-type move.
At its Trainer's command, Shiftry rapidly gathered dense Grass-type energy. Under its control, the energy transformed into a mass of leaf blades that shot toward Swampert as soon as they took shape.
"Swampert, use Toxic!"
This was Zhang Cheng's strategy against Shiftry. Swampert was in poor condition and would struggle to fight Shiftry head-on, so using Toxic to wear down its HP was the best choice.
"Gana~ Gana~"
At Zhang Cheng's command, Swampert quickly gathered the surrounding Poison-type energy, shaping it into a glob of venom. Once it formed, Swampert exerted its strength and launched the toxic venom at Shiftry.
Both moves struck their targets at the same time. Leaf Tornado hit Swampert, surrounding it with countless leaf blades that spun and sliced relentlessly.
With its same-type power boost, the Grass-type move dealt a devastating blow to Swampert. The continuous barrage of leaf blades depleted its HP, and it collapsed, unable to battle.
At the same time, the toxic venom Swampert had launched struck Shiftry. Upon being hit by Toxic, Shiftry's body immediately took on a dark purple hue.
"Come back, Swampert." Zhang Cheng took out a Poké Ball and recalled the defeated Swampert.
"Your Swampert really doesn't play by the usual rules. First Thief, then Toxic." Looking at the badly poisoned Shiftry before him, Xia Bin felt that this went beyond his understanding.
As far as Xia Bin knew, Swampert was a Pokémon that primarily relied on offensive moves and excelled at powerful Water-type attacks. But the Swampert Zhang Cheng had raised was completely different from what he had imagined.
"How a Pokémon is raised mainly depends on its Trainer. Naturally, different Trainers raise Pokémon with different styles."
