If they endured, the already injured Gengar would have no chance of winning. Kogumi therefore ordered an aggressive offensive, aiming to win the judgments for spirit and technique.
"Water Pulse!"
The Water Pulse wiped out the Shadow Ball.
Gengar, however, quickly made its next move and closed in on Milotic.
