Both Dragonair and Granbull were injured. What mattered now was which one would run out of stamina first.
Against Granbull, Dragonair's Dragon Rage and Dragon Tail were useless, and his injuries made using Agility difficult. In other words, Surf was his only remaining option. And if he took even one Fairy-type move...
While I agonized over which move to choose, Hiroshi looked equally troubled.
Could it be that his Granbull hasn't learned any Fairy-type attack moves? I wondered.
"Dragonair, Surf!" With no other choice, I immediately ordered Dragonair to use Surf.
Dragonair summoned seawater again. I silently hoped Granbull hadn't learned Earthquake, or he would be able to repeat his earlier trick.
"Ruru, swim toward Dragonair!" Hiroshi ordered Granbull.
Dragonair had originally been floating in midair, making it difficult for Granbull to attack him from the ground.
However, while using Surf, Dragonair had to remain on the water, which meant he and Granbull were both in it.
What I hadn't expected was that Granbull could swim, and even swimming against the current didn't slow him down.
"Use Crunch on Dragonair's wound!"
While I was still reeling in surprise, Granbull had already swum close to Dragonair and leaped up to sink his teeth into his body.
Dragonair cried out in pain as the jaws clamped down on him, thrashing desperately to shake Granbull off.
But Granbull held on for dear life with the massive, heavy fangs in his lower jaw.
With Granbull biting down on him, Dragonair could no longer control the seawater. Both of them were swept out of the arena and slammed into the wall below the spectator stands.
Once the water receded, Dragonair and Granbull both collapsed from the violent impact.
"Dragonair and Granbull are both unable to battle!" The referee raised the green flag in his left
