"Spiritomb, use Shadow Sneak!"
After using Protect, Spiritomb had no other defensive options left. Faced with Pidgeot's attack, it could only grit its teeth and meet it head-on.
Ye Tian ordered Spiritomb to use Shadow Sneak. This move could slip silently past the opposing attack and strike Pidgeot directly.
Ye Tian knew Spiritomb would most likely lose to Pidgeot. What mattered now was inflicting as much damage as possible, giving Heracross plenty of room to work when it entered the battle next.
At its Trainer's command, Spiritomb quickly gathered Dark-type energy into an eerie shadow. Once formed, the shadow evaded the Twister and appeared behind Pidgeot without warning.
The shadow, laden with dense Dark-type energy, struck Pidgeot's body. The sudden attack on its back threw Pidgeot off balance, sending it crashing to the ground.
Meanwhile, Pidgeot's Twister broke through Spiritomb's defenses. The mass of Dragon-type energy battered Spiritomb until it had only a sliver of HP remaining.
"Good work, Spiritomb! Use Shadow Sneak again!"
Ye Tian's eyes lit up when he saw that Spiritomb could still battle. He quickly ordered another Shadow Sneak, which could strike Pidgeot directly.
Following Ye Tian's instructions, Spiritomb mustered everything it had left and unleashed Shadow Sneak.
Seeing that Spiritomb was still standing and had used Shadow Sneak again, Zhang Cheng's first instinct was to have Pidgeot defend with Protect.
But Spiritomb's move was too fast. There was no time left to form a Protect barrier.
"Pidgeot, use Quick Attack!"
In that brief instant, Zhang Cheng came up with a good countermeasure. He planned to use the tremendous speed of Pidgeot's Quick Attack to handle Spiritomb's ambush.
"Pidge! Pidge!"
Pidgeot surged forward with tremendous force, hurtling toward Spiritomb at incredible speed.
Just as Spiritomb's shadow was about to strike, Pidgeot had already used Quick Attack
