Teacher Zhou left the remaining time to the group, but they looked at one another in uncertainty.
"Sorry, I'm the one holding everyone back," Zhao Shimo from Class 5 said first. Neither of his two Pokémon could move for now, which was indeed a serious drawback.
"No, it's not your fault." Bai Yun hurriedly waved his hands.
"Teacher's Exploud is just too strong. There's no way we can beat it," Lin Lin said, sounding troubled.
"Teacher's Exploud has both ranged moves and close-combat control moves. With such a well-rounded opponent, it'll be hard for us to win," Su Han said.
"Junior, do you have any ideas?" Song Rongxue suddenly asked Cheng Tian.
Cheng Tian pondered for a moment before slowly speaking. "We're in an awkward position right now. Our ranged moves can't deal much damage, and we can't beat it in close combat either."
"Then could we harass it up close and kite it from a distance?" Bai Yun asked. Cheng Tian shook his head. "That'll be difficult. We could very well get knocked out by Exploud the moment we get close."
For a while, everyone was at their wits' end.
"If... if only... we had Pokémon that could fly..." Qin Rourou suddenly said in a timid voice.
Yet those very words made Cheng Tian's eyes light up. Finally, he turned toward Zhao Shimo beside them. "That's right! Things would be much easier if we just had Pokémon that could fly!"
Everyone looked at Cheng Tian, momentarily unsure what he meant. Not one of them owned a Pokémon that could fly.
"Zhao Shimo, could you let me take a look at your Kakuna?" Cheng Tian asked. "No problem." Zhao Shimo nodded, then released Kakuna. Kakuna remained motionless on the ground, just like Metapod.
