Yong had the first move this round!
"Magneton! Swift!"
It was a move that never missed!
Star-shaped rays of light formed in front of Magneton and shot toward the opponent!
Yong shouted,
"Charge through with Rapid Spin! Use Drill Run!"
"Drill!"
The same trick again!
The sandstorm grew fierce and violent once more!
Under cover of the windblown sand, Excadrill charged forward! It became a tornado, dark brown Ground-type energy forming a solid spear where its claws met! It hurtled straight toward Magneton!
"Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!"
Swift struck Excadrill's body again and again, but failed to stop its advance!
Naoki gritted his teeth and shouted,
"Magneton! Get higher! Use Tri Attack!"
"Zzz!!!"
Electric sparks flickered over its body as Magneton rose higher, dodging Excadrill's charge. Its six electromagnets quickly lit up with golden light, then a beam of blue, gold, and red energy blasted out!
"Excadrill! Use Dig!"
"Drill!"
The streak of light hurtled down from the sky. Excadrill slammed its claws into the ground! With incredible agility, it tore through the earth and burrowed inside!
"Boom!!!"
The powerful energy attack blasted a hole in the grass, but its target was nowhere to be seen!
"What a brilliant exchange of offense and defense!"
The announcer shouted,
"Excadrill took its opponent's Swift head-on! It intended to use Rapid Spin's speed to attack Magneton! Unfortunately, it couldn't reach high enough! Its opponent dodged!"
"Magneton gained altitude and retaliated with Tri Attack! But Excadrill also evaded it using Dig!"
Yong frowned slightly.
No matter how powerful an attack was, or how fast it was, it was useless if it couldn't hit the opponent...
"Come back, Excadrill!"
Yong took out a Pokémon Ball. Excadrill burst out of the ground, and a flash of red light recalled it!
