Hu Bin replied modestly, "Mr. Hala, that was only because you went easy on me. If you'd used your main team, I wouldn't have lasted a single move!"
Hala laughed heartily. "I'm sure that by our next battle, you'll have grown enough to make me use my main team. Keep it up!"
Hu Bin nodded. "Don't worry, Mr. Hala!"
Hala nodded in satisfaction and sent out his final Pokémon.
It was a Crabrawler, a Pokémon that held up two enormous pincers as fists and had both Water and Fighting types!
Hala's Crabrawler was exceptionally powerful, with bulging muscles in its arms!
Hu Bin took a deep breath and sent out his own Pokémon, Ninetales!
After taking the field, Ninetales gave Crabrawler a cool, aloof glance. Doesn't look very tasty!
Hu Bin eyed Crabrawler gravely. Hala's Crabrawler had the Iron Fist Ability, which boosted the power of all its punching moves!
Just as its name suggested, Crabrawler was fiercely competitive. Facing Ninetales, it rubbed its pincers together, determined to defeat its opponent!
Looking at Ninetales on the field, Hala sighed with emotion. "Who would've thought? Just a month ago, you were such a little thing. Now you've evolved, and you've already become so strong!"
Then Hala's expression changed. "Now, let's see what you're capable of! Crabrawler, charge in and use Comet Punch!"
Crabrawler immediately rushed forward eagerly, raising its two enormous pincers to attack Ninetales!
Hu Bin smiled. "Mr. Hala, let us show you how much we've grown!"
"Ninetales, use Double Team!"
Ninetales swiftly created a host of duplicates to evade Crabrawler's Comet Punch!
Hala shouted, "It's no use! Crabrawler, use Bubble Beam to wipe out every duplicate!"
Crabrawler pulled back its fists and opened its pincers. A stream of bubbles sprayed out, dispersing all the duplicates!
Ninetales had no choice
