"You join in too, Crawdaunt!"
Wu Gang and Wu Tie sent out all their Pokémon, determined to capture this Moltres.
Ekans had been hit by Moltres's Flamethrower, losing nearly half its HP, and was already in poor shape.
"Crawdaunt, use Hydro Pump!"
"Mightyena, Dark Pulse!"
"Ekans, Venoshock!"
"Steelix, Rock Tomb!"
Wu Gang and Wu Tie deployed all their Pokémon and ordered them to attack Moltres together.
Because Moltres was flying above the lava, the Pokémon could only attack with ranged moves.
Crawdaunt was their main damage dealer, capable of using Water-type moves that were super effective against Moltres.
Upon receiving its orders, Crawdaunt gathered water elemental power in its large claws, then formed a powerful Hydro Pump and blasted it at Moltres.
Ekans followed close behind, swiftly unleashing a Venoshock laden with toxins. Its earlier injuries had enraged it, and it wanted to deal Moltres a devastating blow.
Steelix and Mightyena also absorbed energy, each preparing a powerful assault.
Steelix's Rock Tomb and Mightyena's Dark Pulse missed.
After dodging those two Pokémon's moves, Moltres had no time to defend against the other incoming attacks. It abandoned defense altogether and spat out another blast of scorching flames, once again targeting Ekans.
As Moltres unleashed its Flamethrower, Crawdaunt's Hydro Pump and Ekans's Venoshock struck its body together.
Venoshock did not deal much damage to Moltres, but Crawdaunt's Hydro Pump delivered a devastating blow.
The combined assault of Hydro Pump and Venoshock stripped away half of Moltres's HP.
At the same time Moltres was hit, Arbok was struck by Flamethrower again. Under those terrifying flames, Arbok's remaining HP was wiped out, leaving it unable to battle.
Wu Tie's expression darkened when he saw Ekans lose the ability to battle. He quickly took out a Poké Ball and recalled it.
Despite suffering heavy damage,
