The match that followed became a war of attrition. In the end, Amoonguss scraped out a narrow victory. Though Ice Beam had battered it badly, it successfully wore down the opposing Vaporeon.
There was no helping it. Things would have been much easier with Spore. Whoever came out would have been put to sleep!
"Amoonguss, Rest."
Amoonguss began snoring away on the spot. Seeing the rain gradually easing and the opposing Amoonguss already asleep, the other side sent their weather setter, Pelipper, back out without any reservations.
"Pelipper, Air Slash."
One razor-sharp blade of air after another slashed into Amoonguss, inflicting tremendous damage.
Unfortunately, Cao Mengjie had no way to switch Amoonguss out at that moment. Luckily, Amoonguss had enough health and sturdy enough defenses to tough it out until it woke up.
"Giga Drain!"
Giga Drain shot out, followed by a string of Bullet Seeds. Pelipper was slow; it dodged Giga Drain but failed to dodge Bullet Seed.
In the end, Amoonguss and Pelipper knocked each other out. This was also because Synthesis worked poorly for Amoonguss against a rain team. If Amoonguss had known Spore, this match would have become a slaughter.
Cao Mengjie sent Venusaur out again. Venusaur was her ace, and she fought with it with practiced ease, taking the first match without any suspense.
"Leave the next match to me. I have experience dealing with Grass-type Pokémon." A male student stepped onto the field. Red light flashed, and a Barbaracle appeared.
At the sight of this Barbaracle, Cheng Tian could not help studying it closely.
Compared to Greninja's master, this Barbaracle was clearly a fledgling. Whether in presence or strength, it fell far short.
"Begin the match!"
"Grassy Terrain, then Power Whip!"
Grassy Terrain spread out, and two enormous vines as thick as the mouth
