Hu Bin said, "Sceptile, take it head-on! Use Return!"
Return grew stronger the higher the user's friendship with its Trainer. Sceptile's bond with Hu Bin was already frighteningly strong, giving the move more than enough power to overwhelm Megahorn!

Klara said, "Don't be afraid, Weezing! Get in there and use Sludge Bomb!"
Weezing hurled sludge at
