"Uh... Teacher Zhou, you go first."
Teacher Zhou took a deep breath. "Donphan, combine Rapid Spin with Rollout!"
Donphan quickly began rolling on the ground. Rather than rushing to attack Aggron, it chose to build up its speed and attack first.
Seeing that there was a battle to fight, Aggron immediately wanted to charge forward in excitement. Since the New Year, Cheng Tian had taught it a whole bunch of new moves, but the damage from its forced evolution had kept it from battling. It had long since been itching for a fight.
Its enormous body was about to move, veins bulging on its raised right arm. Just as it was about to unleash Mega Punch, Cheng Tian immediately coughed.
"Ahem!"
"Roar?" Aggron froze, then understood what Cheng Tian meant, unable to help feeling a little dejected.
Cheng Tian pressed his palms together in a plea, and only then did Aggron nod helplessly. It switched the Mega Punch in its right hand to Thunder Punch and slowly walked toward Donphan.
Just how slow was it? Donphan could dodge it with ease, and Thunder Punch naturally struck nothing but air. Back and forth they went, which counted as some give-and-take.
After they had fought for a while, Thunder Punch finally landed weakly on Donphan, but its typing made it completely immune.
"Look, everyone. Donphan is a Ground-type Pokémon, so Electric-type moves do no damage to it. You need to remember the type advantages and disadvantages between Pokémon, understood?" Teacher Zhou immediately began explaining.
"Why do I feel like Aggron is so slow?"
"Is it? With its size, isn't that speed normal?"
"It's moving as fast as my grandpa doing Tai Chi..."
Cheng Tian broke into a sweat. It seemed they were making the rigged match too obvious.
"Um... Aggron, Rock Tomb!"
