After Thunder proved highly effective, Zhang Cheng had Ampharos gather energy and continue the assault.
"Baa~ Baa~"
Ampharos was normally gentle, but became fierce in battle. At Zhang Cheng's command, Ampharos frantically gathered high-voltage electricity, finally forming a powerful Thunderbolt.
Thunderbolt shot toward the badly wounded Bisharp nearby in a surge of high-voltage electricity.
"Bisharp, Protect!"
The instant Lu Luan gave the command, Bisharp used energy to form a transparent defensive barrier. Thunderbolt was fast; any delay would have been too late.
Fortunately, Bisharp finished forming the barrier just before the electricity struck, keeping the powerful current at bay.
The barrier could not hold for long, however. Hastily constructed and extremely crude, it soon shattered under the relentless barrage of high-voltage electricity.

"Baa! Baa!"
Ampharos gathered all the Electric-type power in its body into its right fist and punched toward Bisharp.
Powerful electricity swept forward with Dragonite's fist, striking Bisharp squarely in the chest. The blow hit the already severe wound again, and this Thunder Punch scored a critical hit, knocking Bisharp out.

Lu Luan hesitated. Zhang Cheng's Ampharos put him under immense pressure, leaving him unsure what to choose, because he had originally planned to send out Slowking.
However, Slowking was weak against Ampharos, and he no longer had many Pokémon available that could handle Electric types.
"Flygon, get ready to
