As Chen Shan spoke, he sent out his fourth Pokémon, Venusaur, the Grass-type starter from the first generation.
Against Zhang Cheng's troublesome Swampert, Chen Shan could have sent out another Ice-type Pokémon, but the hail had already ended, and Ice-type moves would struggle to put pressure on Swampert.

Zhang Cheng had seen plenty of Venusaur, but to be safe, he quickly activated the Detection System to check this one's details.
Name: Venusaur (Level 71) Gender: Female Potential: A Type: Grass, Poison Held item: Miracle Seed (A seed brimming with life force. When held by a Pokémon, it boosts the power of Grass-type moves.)

Notes: Venusaur, the Seed Pokémon, is the evolved form of Ivysaur. She often remains motionless in sunny places.
