Clumps of mud battered Mega Mawile. Though it had solid defenses, it could not withstand such an onslaught.
Under the relentless Mud Shot attacks, Mega Mawile's HP fell to less than one-sixth.
"Mega Mawile, use Metal Claw!"
Mega Mawile's paralysis finally wore off, and Du Ling immediately ordered it to counterattack.
Swampert had infuriated Mega Mawile as well. Once it could move again, it rushed up to Swampert, gathering Steel-type energy in its hands to form metal claws and strike.
Swampert was still spraying mud, and Mega Mawile's HP had already dropped dangerously low.
Since Swampert made no attempt to dodge, Mega Mawile's Metal Claw landed easily.
The earlier Iron Head had already left Swampert badly injured. Now that another move backed by Mega Mawile's immense Physical Attack had struck it, there was no way it could hold on.
Swampert's HP fell to zero, and it collapsed, unable to battle.
"Thanks for your hard work, Swampert." Zhang Cheng took out a Poké Ball and recalled it.
Swampert had done remarkably well to get this far. Mega Mawile was now in terrible shape; just one more attack would defeat it.
"Kingdra, I choose you!"
Zhang Cheng sent Kingdra out to battle. He had two Pokémon left: Kingdra and Diancie.
Both Pokémon were vulnerable to Steel-type moves, especially Diancie. With its quadruple weakness to Steel, the consequences would be disastrous if Diancie took a move from Mega Mawile, whose Physical Attack reached a staggering 210.

"Kingdra? That's a hard Pokémon to get." Du Ling looked at Zhang Cheng's Kingdra with envy.
Evolving Seadra into Kingdra required an extremely rare item, a Dragon Scale. Obtaining one
