Qingcao immediately raised the red flag and announced loudly,
"Frogadier is unable to battle! Geodude wins!"
"I actually lost to a Geodude..."
Art felt dejected. His Pokémon had the advantage in both type and level, and the battle itself had looked evenly matched. So why had Geodude knocked out his Frogadier with just one hit?
Yong spoke up.
"You assumed from the start that Geodude couldn't come close to Frogadier in agility or speed. That made you overconfident, and you underestimated the damage Rollout had built up. But... with greater stamina and greater strength... mine could take more hits, while yours only had one chance."
"Pokémon battles aren't just about types and levels. You should understand that."
As Yong's meaningful words sank in, Art recalled Frogadier. He frowned in thought for a long while before taking out his second Pokémon Ball and throwing it hard!
Light flashed again, and a Pokémon appeared on the field.
It consisted of six pale pink eggs, with a few cracks in their shells.
Usually, five heads clustered around the sixth. Each head wore a slightly different expression: one smiled, four looked angry, and one looked sorrowful. Only the smiling egg was whole, without any cracks.
Each face had a tiny mouth and triangular eyes with small, black, cone-shaped pupils.
It was an Exeggcute.
Pokémon: Exeggcute, Lv28... Type: Grass + Psychic... Ability: Chlorophyll, boosts speed in sunny weather... Moves...
Exeggcute!
Its primary type was Grass, and it also had the rare Psychic type. It was quite a good Pokémon.
Yong smiled faintly.
Art had certainly come prepared. At least when it came to gathering information, he was a competent Trainer. Of course... information about Yong had already spread, so learning about him wasn't difficult.
*Still, thinking about it, it's been a long time
