Although Steelix's overwhelming power shocked Master Wallace, he was not about to stand there in a daze.
He glanced once more at the rainwater steadily accumulating in the pool and spoke calmly.

The instant the words left his mouth, a tremendous collision erupted without warning!
Shattered rocks exploded in every direction! Clouds of dust billowed up, only to be swiftly smothered by the falling rain. In that same instant, a powerful torrent suddenly burst from the ground and surged into the air!

Such precise control over water energy undoubtedly demonstrated Swampert's exceptional mastery and refined technique.
Moisture spread like mist over the surroundings, crimson fighting energy churning within it like burning
