"Jellicent, use Water Spout to scatter those energy waves!" Jiang Chi commanded Jellicent to attack with Water Spout.
Water-type moves were not very effective against Kingdra. Jiang Chi only had Jellicent use Water Spout to counter Kingdra's offensive.
Water Spout's power varied according to the user's HP. The healthier the Pokémon was, the stronger the move would be.
When used at full HP, Water Spout could rival Hydro Cannon in power.
Jellicent had suffered gashes from Dragon Claw earlier, but still had a healthy amount of HP, so Water Spout remained considerably powerful.
Jellicent gathered a large amount of Water-type energy into a long, thick column of water. Once formed, the column surged toward the incoming Outrage energy.
The Water-type energy and Dragon-type energy collided repeatedly, triggering violent explosions. Fortunately, the explosions occurred in midair and did not reach either Pokémon.
The two attacks canceled each other out, exhausting the energy of both Water Spout and Outrage.
"Jellicent, form a barrier and use Protect!"
Water Spout had drained too much of Jellicent's stamina to use it again immediately. Well aware of this, Jiang Chi quickly ordered Jellicent to use a defensive move, forming a sturdy barrier to block the attack.
Following the Trainer's instructions, Jellicent absorbed all the surrounding energy to form a sturdy barrier. With ample time to prepare, Jellicent created a barrier with formidable defensive strength.
As Jellicent formed the barrier, another surge of frenzied Dragon-type energy erupted from Kingdra and blasted toward Jellicent.
Outrage's second assault began, its powerful Dragon-type energy hammering the barrier Jellicent had formed.
The sturdy barrier remained standing after enduring the barrage, with only a few cracks appearing across its surface.
Jellicent had once again neutralized Kingdra's Outrage attack. Jiang Chi had plenty of battle experience and handled this situation with ease.
However,
