Volkner recalled Jolteon and smiled at Hu Bin. "Hu Bin, miracles are rare, and you're one of them. You've barely started your journey, yet you're already this strong. A genius-you're truly a genius. But I'm no pushover either! Go, Raichu!"
Raichu, Pikachu's evolved form, looked adorably endearing with its plump body.
Hu Bin recalled Gardevoir and sent Lucario onto the field.
Lucario took the field brimming with fighting spirit, ready to wrap up this final Gym battle in style.
"Go, Lucario! Use Aura Sphere!"
Lucario brought its hands together, then fired an Aura Sphere at Raichu.
Volkner said, "Go, Raichu! Use Electro Ball!"
Raichu formed an Electro Ball and flung it with its tail. The Electro Ball collided with the Aura Sphere with tremendous force.
Volkner told Raichu, "Raichu, use Electric Terrain!"
Electricity poured from Raichu's body, coating the entire battlefield in a layer of current. Within the Electric Terrain, all Electric-type moves grew stronger!
The equally powerful Electro Ball and Aura Sphere exploded over the battlefield, whipping up a storm!
At that moment, Volkner called out, "Raichu, use Thunderbolt!"
Raichu patted the two little red pouches on its cheeks. Electricity surged out, forming a powerful bolt that struck toward Lucario.
Hu Bin's expression tightened slightly. "Lucario, Protect!"
Lucario crossed its arms in front of its chest, and a protective barrier appeared around its body, enclosing it completely.
Thunderbolt rained down, striking the protective barrier, but Protect held it at bay.
Once Thunderbolt faded, Hu Bin's gaze sharpened. With Electric Terrain in play, Raichu's Electric-type moves really were powerful.
Hu Bin said, "Go, Lucario! Use Aura Sphere!" Lucario quickly formed an Aura Sphere and hurled it.
Before Raichu could react, the Aura Sphere struck it head-on.
Raichu cried out in pain and landed on its backside.
"Now, Lucario! Close Combat!"
