This battle was a gauntlet. Over the course of fighting five people in succession, Cheng Tian's side had been worn down considerably, and Aron was already unable to battle.
Well, a large part of that was because, once Aron realized its defense had become absurdly tough, it had started taking attacks with reckless abandon.
As it turned out, although it was very tough now, it still had not reached the point where neither blade nor spear could pierce it.
Cheng Tian recalled Aron helplessly, then tossed out a Dive Ball and released Frogadier.

Frogadier looked at its opponent, a Hitmonlee skilled at attacking with its legs. Aron had lost the ability to battle precisely because it had taken one of its High Jump Kicks head-on.
"Don't let your guard down, Frogadier," Cheng Tian said. "Use Double Team, then scatter Toxic Spikes."

"Damn, Stealth Rock and Toxic Spikes? You play way too dirty!" His opponent was starting to lose it. "Hitmonlee, Meditate and Focus Energy, then use Rolling Kick!"

"Grass Knot!"
If the bottom of a spinning top suddenly tripped over something, the top would go flying. That was common knowledge.
Hitmonlee went flying in just that way, its entire body left wide open in midair.
Frogadier fired three Water Pulses in rapid succession,
