"A Flying- and Electric-type Pokémon?!" A gleam flashed in Liu Qing's eyes. This kind of Pokémon was also among the Uzumaki's targets, and it was the perfect opponent for the Chandelure currently floating in the air!
"Chandelure, Confusion!" Liu Qing once again chose a Psychic-type move to test his opponent.
"Emolga, use Acrobatics!" Elesa commanded confidently.
Emolga immediately began circling Chandelure with nimble, rapid movements. Chandelure tried to track Emolga with Confusion, only to grow dizzy and take a hit head-on, sending Chandelure flying backward.
"Emolga, Attract!" Elesa issued another command. Emolga quickly winked its left eye, sending a string of hearts drifting toward Chandelure.
"Protect!" The sight of Attract reminded Liu Qing of the time his Scizor had faced this move from Reggie's Ninetales, and he immediately gave the command.
Hearing Liu Qing's order, Chandelure steadied in midair. A pale green glow enveloped Chandelure's entire body, blocking Attract just in time.
"Attract didn't leave you dizzy, but how about this?" Elesa commanded again. "Emolga, use Aerial Ace!" As soon as she finished speaking, several white streaks of light appeared around Emolga's body, and it hurtled toward Chandelure.
"Chandelure, fire Shadow Ball at the ground!" This Emolga was even faster than the Zebstrika from earlier, and using Protect repeatedly lowered its chances of success. Liu Qing wasn't about to gamble on his luck. Still, there was a way to evade Aerial Ace, a move whose speed normally guaranteed a hit. Chandelure quickly gathered a Shadow Ball and slammed it into the ground. It exploded, releasing a great cloud of purplish-black smoke. Emolga, already using Aerial Ace, couldn't brake in time and plunged straight into the smoke. Losing sight of Chandelure, it stopped in midair and looked around.
"What?" Elesa was startled as well and immediately shouted, "Emolga, get out of
