Poliwrath followed Zhang Cheng's command and began gathering Fighting-type Energy to strengthen himself.
Streams of potent Fighting-type Energy flowed into Poliwrath's body, boosting his Physical Attack and Physical Defense.
"Come back, Pelipper!"
Seeing Poliwrath use Bulk Up, Li Ao acted decisively, recalling his sleeping Pelipper and sending out another Pokémon to battle.
"Floatzel, get ready to battle!"
The Pokémon Li Ao sent out was the Water-type Floatzel, a powerful main attacker on a rain team.
Zhang Cheng immediately opened the Detection System to check Floatzel's details:
Name: Floatzel (Level 43) Gender: Male Potential: A- Type: Water Held item: Mystic Water (Boosts the power of Water-type moves used by the Pokémon holding it.) Basic moves: Sonic Boom, Growl, Water Sport, Quick Attack, Water Gun, Pursuit, Swift, Aqua Jet, Double Hit, Whirlpool, Razor Wind Learned moves: Surf, Waterfall, Protect, Ice Beam Egg moves: Aqua Ring, Aqua Tail, Headbutt, Soak Ability: Swift Swim (Greatly increases the Pokémon's speed in rainy weather.) Notes: Floatzel, the Sea Weasel Pokémon. The evolved form of Buizel. It swims using its well-developed flotation sac and enjoys helping rescue people who are drowning.
Just as Zhang Cheng had suspected, this Floatzel had Swift Swim. Floatzel was already fast, and with his ability activated by the rain, his speed reached an astonishing level, surpassing Poliwrath's.
"Floatzel, attack with Waterfall!"
After sending out Floatzel, Li Ao took advantage of his speed and ordered him to strike first.
At his Trainer's command, Floatzel swiftly gathered the surrounding Water Energy, wrapping his entire body in a massive amount of it.
Empowered by that energy, Floatzel shot toward Poliwrath like a sword.
"Poliwrath, use Waterfall too!"
With both Pokémon belonging to rain teams, Zhang Cheng refused to let Poliwrath lose momentum. He decisively ordered Poliwrath to use Waterfall and meet Floatzel head-on.
