Du Ling quickly ordered Seismitoad to defend. As the Toxic poison flared up, the critically injured Poliwrath would not be able to hold out much longer.
Seismitoad quickly followed its Trainer's instructions, absorbing energy and concentrating on creating a barrier to withstand Poliwrath's assault.
"Yobo!"
Poliwrath cried out, its muscular body wreathed in dense water elemental power as it slammed into the barrier in front of Seismitoad.
The power Poliwrath unleashed in its desperate situation was terrifying. This Waterfall was far stronger than an ordinary use of the move.

After smashing through the barrier, Poliwrath continued forward, directing its remaining strength at Seismitoad.
