In the end, Tentacruel was stronger!
And Tentacruel had pushed the advantage provided by the battlefield to its absolute limit!
Aggron possessed a higher level of energy, yet could not fully bring it to bear.
Still, Tentacruel had not emerged unscathed. Even after using Giga Drain at the last moment to recover some stamina, a Thunderbolt and a Fusion Technique Skill had inflicted tremendous damage!
But ultimately, Aggron had lost.
Bang!
Several tentacles rose from beneath the water, wrapped around Aggron, and laid Aggron on the ground beside the pool.
The referee examined the completely unconscious Aggron for a moment, then looked at Tentacruel and announced loudly,
"Aggron is unable to battle! Tentacruel wins!"
Ding! Aggron has officially lost the battle! Gained 700 training points! Gained massive experience! Ding! Flamethrower and Thunderbolt proficiency increased!
In the stands, Ash frowned and muttered,
"What a shame! Aggron was so strong!"
Reggie smiled and patted his head.
"Aggron is strong, but Master Wallace's Tentacruel is no slouch either. In fact, Tentacruel can bring out even greater strength on a Water Field!"
On the other side, Tengshu nodded in agreement.
"Exactly. By using Rapid Spin to stir up the water, Tentacruel dispersed most of Thunderbolt's power. And submerged that deep, Aggron would keep losing stamina no matter how high its resistance to water was. With both force domain power and origin power restricted by the opponent, lasting this long was already an impressive feat."
Seeing Ash nod, Tengshu continued,
"This match showed just how much of an advantage favorable terrain can provide in a Pokémon battle. That's why the environment can be a decisive factor in determining the winner."
Thus, when the battlefield offered neither side an advantage, weather moves became crucial.
That was also why weather moves commanded such high prices,
