Swampert quickly formed a barrier in front of itself, which enclosed it in protection.
Slowking's Confusion attack was blocked by the barrier. A powerful force pressed down on it, trying to shatter it.
But Swampert's Protect had formidable defensive power. Even after pushing Confusion to its limit, Slowking failed to break through the seemingly flimsy barrier.
Swampert successfully neutralized Slowking's attack. The Poison inside Slowking began to flare up, and it cried out in pain.
"Slowking, use Slack Off!"
Chen Hao chose to have Slowking use a recovery move to ease the injuries caused by Toxic's Poison.
Following Chen Hao's command, Slowking lay on the ground and lazily absorbed the energy around it. The energy turned into a gentle glow that healed its injuries.
Naturally, Zhang Cheng would not let Slowking recover unchecked. He immediately ordered Swampert to attack. If Slowking wanted to use a recovery move, it had to be prepared to take a hit.
"Swampert, use Mud Bomb!"
Since Water-type move were not very effective against Slowking, Zhang Cheng chose to have Swampert attack with a Ground-type move.
"Gana~ Gana~"
Swampert spat out dense Ground-type energy, which gathered into a powerful Mud Bomb.
Once the Mud Bomb took shape, Swampert sent it hurtling toward Slowking.
Slowking had just finished using Slack Off and had no way to dodge the incoming Mud Bomb.
The Mud Bomb struck Slowking's body. The unstable Ground-type energy exploded on impact, and the powerful shock wave dealt Slowking a heavy blow.
Slowking had barely recovered before Swampert's Mud Bomb injured it again. That use of Slack Off had gained it next to nothing.
As the battle continued, the Poison inside Slowking grew increasingly potent, and its injuries became more severe.
But Chen Hao had no other options now. Switching Jolteon in would accomplish nothing,
