"Swampert, you did great." Zhang Cheng recalled Swampert, who could no longer battle.
Mega Gardevoir's Special Attack was simply too powerful. Even after giving everything he had, Swampert was no match for her.
In that case, I'll send out a Legendary Pokémon! Zhang Cheng thought.
With Swampert unable to battle and Kingdra at a type disadvantage against Mega Gardevoir, sending out a Legendary or Mythical Pokémon was the better choice.
"Moltres, get ready to battle!"
In the end, Zhang Cheng chose Moltres. With solid Physical Attack and Special Attack, Moltres was a decent choice against Mega Gardevoir.
What really troubled Zhang Cheng was that he had no Pokémon with a type advantage against Mega Gardevoir. Her Fairy and Psychic typing left her weak to three types: Poison, Ghost, and Steel.
Pokémon of those three types were relatively rare, and Zhang Cheng had none of them. He could only rely on his Pokémon's raw strength to deal with Mega Gardevoir. Gaining an advantage through typing wasn't particularly realistic.
"Moltres, one of the Legendary Birds? Now this should be interesting."
Seeing Zhang Cheng send out a Legendary Pokémon piqued Bai Yuling's interest. She wanted to see whether her Mega Gardevoir had the strength to defeat one of the Legendary Birds.
"Blaziken, use Brave Bird!"
Without wasting any words, Zhang Cheng immediately ordered Moltres to use the strongest physical move of its own type.
Physical attacks were the way to deal with Mega Gardevoir, and Brave Bird was the strongest physical move Moltres knew.
Moltres gazed haughtily at Mega Gardevoir, rapidly gathering Flying-type energy around its entire body.
Once it had gathered more than enough energy, Moltres let out a cry and charged toward Mega Gardevoir on the ground.
"Mega Gardevoir, don't be afraid! We'll take Moltres head-on! Use Thunderbolt!"
Bai Yuling chose
