Haxorus also crashed to the ground, unable to battle.
At this point, Lin Longya had only three Pokémon left that could still fight.
Lin Longya threw another ball and sent out Druddigon!
Hu Bin kept Greninja in the battle!

Hu Bin's expression turned a little strange. Why do these Dragon-type Elite Four members always have either Dragonite or Salamence?
Are they really that common?
With an imposing air, Lin Longya declared,
