A wave even fiercer than before surged upstream like a waterfall hanging upside down from the sky. This time, Swampert did not hide within it, but rode its crest straight at its opponent!
Had it turned Waterfall into Surf?
Kofu's mind raced. Watching Swampert charge toward him with overwhelming force, he felt a flicker of doubt.
It took far less damage than I expected. Why?
Seeing his opponent raise its arms again, Kofu shouted,

Hydreigon beat its wings, its crimson gaze fixed on Swampert as black light spread once more!
