Eliminating Ekans

Seeing that Ekans was badly injured, the chubby boy immediately gained confidence and took the initiative to attack.

"Nidoran♂, it's time to fight back! Use Poison Sting and sting it to death!"

"Nido, nido!"

Nidoran♂ spat out Poison Stings in rapid succession, while Ekans used its tail to block them.

"Mareep, aim at Ekans and use Thunder Wave."

"Mareep—reep!"

Showing off the results of its days of training, Mareep gathered a large burst of electromagnetic waves and struck Ekans dead on.

Zhang Cheng had suddenly sent out Mareep to
