A soft patter slowly filled the battlefield.
A thin mist hung in the air, and the atmosphere gradually grew tense.
"Ludicolo! Bullet Seed!"
"Swampert! Dodge! Ride Surf over there and use Ice Punch!"
"Prrroo~~~!"
With a deep cry, Ludicolo thrust out both arms, firing emerald-green seeds at Swampert like bullets!
Swampert leaped off a rock and into the water, then stomped down hard, raising a massive wave!
The wave swallowed the incoming seeds, and Swampert rode it straight toward its opponent!
An icy chill around its arm froze the falling raindrops. Swampert swung its ice-blue fist, bringing it down hard toward Ludicolo's head!
"Dodge! Then use Teeter Dance!"
Ludicolo casually twisted its plump body, yet darted aside with surprising speed and grace!
So fast!
Then Ludicolo launched into a strange dance, releasing an inexplicable power that enveloped Swampert!
"Laa-chi?"

"Snap out of it, Swampert!"
Wallace gently waved his hand, his cape fluttering behind him.
"Energy Ball!"
"Prrroo~~~!"
Grass-type energy swiftly gathered between Ludicolo's hands, gradually forming an emerald-green ball!
"Swampert! Wake up! Dodge, quick!"
Yong's shout seemed to work, jolting Swampert out of its confusion. But the instant it barely regained its senses, that familiar green sphere was already right in front of it!
It raised an arm.
Boom!!!
The powerful explosion sent Swampert flying once again!
It slammed hard into the water!
"Go after it! Use Bullet Seed!"
At Wallace's cool command, Ludicolo jumped into the water and swam swiftly toward where Swampert had fallen, green light gathering around its hands!
Rain was practically a blessing from
