As a powerful Flying-type move, Brave Bird had two additional effects. The first was a high chance of landing a critical hit, while the second was a chance of making the Pokémon it struck flinch.
Neither of Moltres's first two Brave Bird attacks had triggered either effect, but this one triggered both at once. It was as though all its luck had gone into this single blow.
Luck was part of strength, too. Battles changed in an instant, and anything could happen. Success was three parts luck and seven parts effort.
"Moltres, finish Espeon off with one last attack!"
At its Trainer's command, Moltres unleashed a stylish Air Slash. Two sharp blades of air swiftly slashed into Espeon, which was unable to move after flinching.
Espeon's HP dropped to zero, and it collapsed to the ground, unable to battle.
Once again, Moltres had shown its prowess in battle and delivered an excellent performance. Its results had never disappointed Zhang Cheng.
The battle was now firmly in Zhang Cheng's hands. He still had four Pokémon capable of fighting, while Zhao Kuang had only two left.
"Come back, Espeon." Zhao Kuang recalled Espeon without expression.
He had invested considerable resources into raising Espeon. He had hoped it could create an opening for him and defeat at least one of his opponent's Pokémon, but the outcome had been completely unexpected.
Outside the arena, Director Fang Lin was naturally all smiles, delighted beyond measure. Wang Kun, meanwhile, looked as though he had eaten shit.
"Drampa, I choose you!"
Zhao Kuang's fifth Pokémon was the Dragon-type Drampa, which could surely be considered one of his trump cards.
As Drampa appeared on the battlefield, Zhang Cheng quickly opened the Detection System to check his details.
``` Name: Drampa (Level 74)
