"Swampert, Wide Guard!"
Zhang Cheng continued to command Swampert to defend, committing fully to his Toxic strategy.
"Gana~ Gana~"
At Zhang Cheng's command, Swampert gathered the surrounding Rock-type energy into a pale yellow barrier.
Wave after wave crashed against the wide barrier. Under the relentless barrage, it barely managed to hold.
Ultimately, Primarina's Surf failed to break through Swampert's defenses. Moves like Wide Guard and Protect offered astonishing defensive power; breaking through their barriers was no easy feat.
Once Primarina's attack ended, the poison inside its body flared up again, reducing its HP to roughly half.
"Come back, Primarina."
Seeing that Primarina's attack had failed again, Bai Lu quickly recalled it. If it kept fighting, Toxic would drain even more of its HP.

Bai Lu chose to have Wigglytuff take the initiative with its signature Body Slam.
A heavy surge of energy gathered inside Wigglytuff. Empowered by that energy, it leaped into the air and brought its entire body down toward Swampert.
"Swampert, Waterfall!"
Facing Wigglytuff's assault, Zhang Cheng ordered Swampert to meet it head-on with the close-range attack Waterfall.
"Gana~ Gana~"
A powerful suction erupted from Swampert's entire body, drawing the surrounding Water Energy onto itself. Then it unleashed Waterfall, charging toward Wigglytuff as it used Body Slam.

With Leftovers, Wigglytuff's HP was slowly recovering. By now, it had recovered almost all the HP Poliwrath had taken from it earlier.
Meanwhile, Wigglytuff's Body Slam knocked a
