Jimu recalled his unconscious Persian and sent out the three-headed bird, Dodrio, hoping to gain a type advantage over Venusaur. But Xia You, well versed in such tactics, naturally refused to let him have his way and sent out Jolteon to face Dodrio instead.
In terms of strength, Jimu was probably on par with Gary, perhaps even a little stronger.
But now, he finally experienced the helplessness Gary had felt when facing Xia You, constantly held back by a type disadvantage!
The man before him really followed that approach through to the end. As long as he won the first battle, he would never let himself suffer even the slightest disadvantage in the type matchups that followed!
Jimu found this extremely troublesome.
And indeed, once the second battle began, Dodrio gradually fell behind, just as he had anticipated.
As a terrestrial bird that spent its years running, Dodrio's wings had long since degenerated. Although it was a Flying-type Pokémon and could use some Flying-type moves, it could not actually fly.
However, its legs were powerful and sturdy. Though it was slightly slower than Jolteon, its stamina was exceptional, keeping it from falling behind as it maneuvered around and chased Jolteon.
But that changed nothing. As the battle grew more intense and Dodrio repeatedly suffered Electric-type attacks, its stamina dwindled, and even its legs grew weak and unsteady.
Meanwhile, even though Jolteon held the advantage, Xia You remained cautious and did not let it approach Dodrio recklessly.
After all, each of Dodrio's three heads could attack independently, giving it an enormous advantage in close combat!
