In the arena, Jolteon struck Scyther with a Quick Attack, sending him flying more than ten meters.
Finally, after rolling over a dozen times across the ground, Scyther collapsed at Yusheng's feet, covered in wounds.
On the Green Side's command platform, Yusheng's heart pounded as he looked at his fourth fallen Pokémon.
It was already 4-0!!!
He was terrified that if the battle continued, he would be swept out of the tournament and reduced to a miserable backdrop!
If that really happened, while his opponent gained glory, how incompetent would he look in the eyes of the world!
Yet the gap in strength and the type disadvantage left him helpless.
At the referee's urging, he recalled Scyther and sent out Sandslash. But although Sandslash's Ground typing made him immune to Jolteon's Electric typing, Yusheng knew this would still do no good!
After all, even without thinking, he knew Xia You would switch Pokémon to reverse his disadvantage.
Sure enough, when Xia You saw Sandslash, he recalled Jolteon without a second thought and sent out Blastoise.
Water against Ground again...
At this, Yusheng sighed inwardly. Ever since losing the first round, he truly had no idea how to turn things around against Xia You, who had the advantage of switching Pokémon after him.
Yet this world was full of surprises. When the fifth battle began, Sandslash's outstanding performance actually made his eyes light up!
Sandslash burrowed underground, then used Sand Tomb, creating a large, circular pit in the center of the field. The solid earth around it was also shaken into fine sand, which poured into the pit!
Caught off guard, Blastoise slid toward the pit. Though he kept rocking his body, trying to escape the area, his own weight caused his feet to sink deep, leaving him unable to break
