"What a combination!" Official matches limited Pokémon to four moves, but that was precisely what revealed a Pokémon Trainer's true skill: how they used a limited move set to bring out their Pokémon's strengths. Liu Qing couldn't help silently praising Mienshao's strategy of launching a swift special attack after Detect. This attack wasn't merely meant to deal damage; Aura Sphere also served to draw his and Rhyperior's attention. The real finishing blow would surely come from the approaching Mienshao!
"Rhyperior, Horn Drill!" Having seen through Moe's strategy, Liu Qing naturally took precautions. His thoughts raced, and he devised a plan in an instant. At his command, Rhyperior roared, the horn on its forehead spinning rapidly with a piercing whine as it thrust straight into Aura Sphere. Upon impact, Aura Sphere couldn't withstand Horn Drill's tremendous drilling force and exploded, seemingly without causing Rhyperior any harm.
What a quick defensive response! Too bad... but... Moe's eyes lit up as she watched Mienshao close in on Rhyperior, and she quickly ordered, "Mienshao, High Jump Kick!"

Bending its right knee, it plunged down and struck the upper chest of Rhyperior, which had raised its head to look up. Under the tremendous impact, Rhyperior roared in pain and staggered backward.
"Yes! It's super effective!" Moe
