Facing an opponent he had never encountered before, Swampert was brimming with excitement. He swiftly gathered water elemental power around his body, unleashed Waterfall, and collided with Darmanitan.
The powerful impact injured both Pokémon. Scorching fire elemental power struck Swampert's body, while surging water elemental power slammed into Darmanitan.
Although Waterfall was far less powerful than Flare Blitz, it was super effective against the Fire-type Darmanitan, dealing double damage.
That made up for the difference in power between the two moves.
After that exchange, both Pokémon had lost nearly two-fifths of their HP.
If Darmanitan took another hit, his Ability, zen mode, would activate. His Special Attack would then become as powerful as his current Physical Attack, while his Physical Attack would drop to a very low level.
After testing his opponent, Zhang Cheng had gained a sense of Darmanitan's strength. Darmanitan still struggled against Water-type Pokémon. As long as his Swampert made no mistakes, he could secure a steady victory.
"Swampert, let's use Hydro Cannon!"
Zhang Cheng intended to have Swampert unleash his strongest attack, Hydro Cannon, to quickly deal a devastating blow to Darmanitan.
Darmanitan would still be fairly difficult to handle after entering zen mode, so he wanted to drive his HP as low as possible in a short time, leaving his opponent little room to maneuver.
"Gana!"
Swampert stood his ground, turning into a water artillery emplacement as he opened his huge mouth and ravenously absorbed the surrounding water energy.
The active water energy rapidly gathered, forming a Hydro Cannon in front of him.

"Darmanitan, don't clash head-on! Block it with Protect!"
Su Jun saw through his opponent's intentions and quickly organized
