Ye Tian sneered, clearly thinking little of non-Legendary Pokémon.
"Regirock, use Hammer Arm!"
Against the Water-type Kingdra, Ye Tian remained fairly levelheaded and did not order Regirock to attack with a Rock-type move.
Rock-type moves were ineffective against Kingdra, so choosing the powerful Hammer Arm despite its lack of a same-type boost was a sound decision.
Upon receiving the command, Regirock quickly gathered Fighting-type power in its two rocky arms, then swung them at Kingdra nearby.
"Kingdra, don't be afraid! Stay right where you are and use Hydro Pump!"
Zhang Cheng knew Kingdra's strength well. Even if Hammer Arm landed, it would not lose much HP.
Kingdra showed no fear before the Legendary Pokémon Regirock. It reacted quickly, gathering the water elemental power within its body to unleash a powerful Hydro Pump.
The Hydro Pump struck Regirock squarely as it charged forward with Hammer Arm.
Regirock was weak to Water-type moves, and Kingdra's attack also received a boost from its held item. On top of that, Hydro Pump's damage depended on the user's current HP.
Kingdra had only just entered the battle and was naturally at full HP, bringing Hydro Pump's power to its peak.
