Wattson had been a Gym Leader for so many years and was so advanced in age that he had a wealth of experience. After just a moment's thought, he had already come up with a way to break the deadlock.
Of course, true to his cheerful, laughing nature, defending was clearly out of the question. Attacking was the only way to defeat this Combusken.
"Voltorb, use Spark!"
Since rolling tackles weren't working, all he needed to do was add electricity to the rolling!
Just as its name suggested, Spark coated the user's entire body in electricity before it crashed into the enemy. Combined with Voltorb's way of moving, this was rolling with lightning, plain and simple!

When it rolled toward Combusken again, its momentum and power were clearly different from before!
Faced with such an attack, Xia You naturally wouldn't have Combusken casually kick it away again, and he grew a little more cautious.
