"Boss's Shuckle..." "Porygon-Z barely took any damage! This isn't looking good!" The three girls who had welcomed Liu Qing and Scott alongside Lucy all looked worried. Soon, however, the yellow-haired girl shouted encouragement. "Boss, you can do it!" The other two joined in.
"Seviper, come out!" Lucy recalled Shuckle and immediately threw her second Poké Ball, releasing Seviper, who bared its crimson fangs at Porygon-Z in the air.
"Porygon-Z, return!" Liu Qing recalled Porygon-Z and threw his second Poké Ball as well. "Blissey, you're up! Use Metronome!"
As Liu Qing threw the Poké Ball, the pink Blissey appeared on the field and immediately began waving its fingers.
"Seviper, use Poison Tail!" Lucy promptly commanded. Seviper swiftly slithered across the field, its tail glowing purple as it lashed toward Blissey.
Just as Seviper's tail swept toward it, Blissey's hands shone white. Then Blissey began hopping in place, somehow timing its jump perfectly to evade Seviper's Poison Tail.
"What? Splash? And it even dodged Boss's Seviper's Poison Tail?" a red-haired girl cried in disbelief, looking as though she had witnessed something utterly revolting.
"That move really does depend entirely on luck. I never thought Liu Qing would send out a Pokémon that knows Metronome to compete for the symbol of luck," Scott remarked.
"Seviper, Flamethrower!" Unfazed, Lucy issued another command. Seviper opened its mouth and spewed scorching flames at the still-hopping Blissey.
"They're really close!" Liu Qing immediately commanded, "Safeguard!"
As Blissey waved its hands again, a green ring of light appeared around its body, standing in front of Flamethrower like a filter. The flames passed through and struck Blissey, sending it flying.
"Use Bite!" Lucy pressed her advantage.
At Lucy's command, Seviper swiftly slithered after Blissey. Baring its crimson fangs, it bit down on Blissey, whose face immediately twisted in pain.
