In terms of typing, the Electric-type Jolteon had a type advantage over the Flying-type Staraptor. Not only that, Electric-type Pokémon also took half damage from Flying-type moves.
So in this battle, Jolteon held a considerable advantage on both offense and defense!
Falkner naturally understood this relationship, but he did not take it to heart.
In fact, ever since he had become a Gym Leader, most Pokémon Trainers who had researched his lineup before challenging him would choose Pokémon with an advantage over Flying types, hoping to earn his Zephyr Badge easily through this relatively simple method.
But thanks to his Pokémon's outstanding performances, many of them had miscalculated and instead received a harsh lesson from Falkner!
And what Falkner resented most were claims that Flying-type Pokémon were destined to lose to Electric types!
In the world of Pokémon, nothing was absolute!
"Staraptor, use Wing Attack!"
Hearing Falkner's command, Staraptor soared into the sky. After circling a few times, it spread its wings and dove toward Jolteon.
It moved so fast that it even whistled through the air!
Faced with Staraptor's attack, which sent it straight into the net, Xia You naturally remained calm.
"Jolteon, use Discharge!"
Dazzling electricity erupted from Jolteon's body. With a move that attacked indiscriminately in every direction, no matter how fast Staraptor was, it would still be struck by the wild currents when it reached Jolteon.
Sure enough, a second later, Staraptor reached Jolteon and was struck by the electricity shooting in all directions. Golden light sprang up over its body, but through sheer tenacity, it maintained its speed. Enduring tremendous pain, it swept its blade-like wings swiftly across Jolteon's body.
Bang!
The two Pokémon crossed paths, each suffering injuries of different severity, but Staraptor was clearly hurt worse than Jolteon!
