After that, Chen Shi wasted no more words. He took out a Poké Ball and opened it.
"Lachi!"
The moment Swampert appeared, he let out an excited roar.
He looked at the spectators outside the arena, then at the Blastoise opposite him, excitement surging through him.
A powerful opponent and the cheers of the crowd were everything he craved.
The referee raised his flag. "This will be a three-on-three battle with unrestricted switching. A contestant will be eliminated once all three of their Pokémon are unable to battle."
"Now, let the battle begin!"
"Swampert, Waterfall!"
"Blastoise, use Withdraw!"
The instant the referee finished speaking, both trainers issued their commands.
"Lachi!"
Swampert briefly gathered his strength. With a bang, a crater appeared where he had been standing.
Swampert had already vanished from that spot and appeared right in front of Blastoise.
Siebold's pupils contracted sharply, shock flooding his heart.
Even though he had seen it before, experiencing it firsthand still made him realize just how fast that Waterfall was.
Precisely because his opponent had chosen Swampert, and Siebold knew he possessed a terrifying Waterfall, he had ordered Blastoise to use Withdraw right from the start.
Boom!
A deafening crash rang out across the arena as Swampert's Waterfall slammed into Blastoise's shell, leaving a huge crater in the ground.
Siebold immediately ordered, "Blastoise, get up and use Aqua Tail!"
"Kame!"
Inside the crater, Blastoise emerged from his shell. Water-type energy gathered around his tail, and he lashed it toward Swampert.
Chen Shi's gaze flickered. That Waterfall had actually done little damage to Blastoise, and Blastoise had even strengthened his defense.
"Swampert, use Hammer Arm!"
"Lachi!"
Swampert swung his Hammer Arm, meeting Blastoise's Aqua Tail head-on.
The two moves collided violently, and the tremendous impact sent both Pokémon stumbling backward.
