Hit by the powerful Water-type move, Steelix suffered considerable damage. Fortunately, Onix had high Physical Defense and could still hold on.
"Poliwrath, don't give it a chance to counterattack! Use Dynamic Punch!"
After closing in on Steelix with Waterfall and dealing damage, Zhang Chao quickly ordered Poliwrath to launch a powerful Fighting-type move.
