"Go, Metagross!" Tetsuya recalled Sceptile and threw his third Poké Ball. As the white light faded, Metagross appeared on the field.
"Metagross, huh? Come back, Roserade!" Liu Qing immediately took out a Poké Ball to recall Roserade.
"You're not getting away! Metagross, use Block!" Tetsuya immediately gave the command. Blue light shone in Metagross's eyes, and the grass suddenly grew tall, forming a barrier that stopped the red beam from the Poké Ball.
"Metagross used Block! Roserade couldn't be recalled!" the Announcer shouted.
Looks like he prepared just as thoroughly as Han Ye's opponent, Kaduo. They even went out of their way to learn Block, Liu Qing thought.
"Heh, that move gave me such a headache in my last match. Liu Qing must be feeling pretty frustrated right now!" In the stands, Liu Yuan gave Han Ye a scornful look at his wicked grin.
"Roserade, use Petal Dance!" Since he couldn't recall Roserade, Liu Qing immediately ordered an attack.
Roserade stretched both arms out, sending a mass of petals dancing into the air before launching them straight at Metagross in a spiral.
"Metagross, use Confusion!" Although Tetsuya had great confidence in Metagross's defense, Roserade was no weak opponent either. He didn't dare let Metagross try to withstand the attack and immediately ordered a counterattack.
Unlike Slowking's Confusion, Metagross's took the form of a membrane of light that spread like flowing water. It enveloped Petal Dance and seized control of it, then sent it back toward Roserade as the membrane expanded.
"Roserade, use Extrasensory!" Liu Qing immediately commanded. Roserade brought both hands together and fired a spiraling ring of multicolored light. It collided with the reflected Petal Dance, blasting it apart along with Confusion.
"Metagross, charge forward!" Tetsuya continued.
Metagross moved all four legs in rapid succession, racing across the grass
