Poliwrath's speed now matched Gengar's completely, leaving Gengar with no advantage in speed.
Although the remaining force of Hydro Pump was weaker than its initial blast, Gengar's defenses were not particularly strong, and the hit still dealt considerable damage.
"Poliwrath, press the advantage! Use Waterfall!"
Having gained the upper hand, Zhang Cheng ordered Poliwrath to keep attacking, giving Gengar little time to react.
"Poli~ Poli~"
Poliwrath also knew how crafty this Gengar was and wanted to finish the battle sooner rather than later. At Zhang Cheng's command, Poliwrath wrapped water energy around its body and hurled itself at Gengar.
"Gengar, dodge!" Su Qian still had great confidence in Gengar's speed and chose to evade Poliwrath's incoming attack.
Gengar threw its whole body into motion, instantly putting a considerable distance between itself and Poliwrath in an attempt to evade the attack.
Su Qian had yet to realize just how fast Poliwrath was. He thought this would be enough to neutralize the assault.
But the result was hard for Su Qian to accept. He saw Poliwrath close the distance Gengar had just created in the very next second.
Seeing Poliwrath bearing down on it, Gengar panicked a little. It had not expected this, and once it recovered, it continued retreating.
Poliwrath would not give Gengar that chance. Before Gengar could retreat, Poliwrath unleashed its full strength, slamming a terrifying surge of water energy into Gengar's body.
Struck head-on by Poliwrath's rain-boosted Waterfall, Gengar suffered heavy damage. Its HP had fallen below half, leaving it in a dangerous position.
"Poliwrath, keep attacking! Use Waterfall again!"
After gaining the advantage with Waterfall, Zhang Cheng continued ordering Poliwrath to attack with the same move.
"Poli~ Poli~"
Poliwrath deftly gathered energy again. Dense water energy coated its body before it charged at Gengar.
"Gengar, use Protect!"
