Chu Qing chose to boost Haxorus's attack with Swords Dance first. Haxorus already had extremely high Physical Attack, and with the boost from Swords Dance, its power would reach terrifying heights.
Upon receiving Chu Qing's command, Haxorus began using Swords Dance. As it performed the unusual dance, a mysterious power flowed into its body, boosting its Physical Attack.
"Trying to use Swords Dance to get a one-hit knockout? Nice idea." Seeing Chu Qing's strategy, Zhang Cheng coldly commanded Kingdra, "Kingdra, use Clear Smog!"
"Hiss! Hiss!"
Kingdra drew on the surrounding Poison-type energy to create a thick cloud of smog, enveloping Haxorus within it.
Covered by Clear Smog, Haxorus suffered no actual damage, but the Physical Attack boost it had just gained through Swords Dance was gone.
"You're asking for death!" Seeing Kingdra use Clear Smog, Chu Qing angrily ordered Haxorus to attack. "Haxorus, teach Kingdra a lesson! Use Dragon Claw!"
Haxorus absorbed vast amounts of Dragon-type energy, then gathered it in its hands to form dragon claws. Once the claws took shape, Haxorus charged toward Kingdra.
Dragon Claw was a physical Dragon-type move. Backed by Haxorus's immense Physical Attack, a same-type attack bonus, and an item boost, its power reached terrifying levels.
Kingdra had just been through a grueling battle and was no longer in good condition. With Dragon Claw dealing double damage to Kingdra, taking this blow from Haxorus would be very difficult.
"Kingdra, use Outrage!"
Since Kingdra could not withstand Haxorus's ferocious assault, Zhang Cheng simply abandoned defense. He ordered Kingdra to use its most powerful move, Outrage, to inflict as much damage on Haxorus as possible.
Kingdra understood Zhang Cheng's strategy well. Steeling itself, it abandoned all resistance and unleashed the Dragon-type energy within its body, forming a dark yellow energy wave that surged toward Haxorus.
