Li Xunming walked up to Zeraora with a grin. Although he specialized in Grass-type Pokémon, that did not mean he could not collect Electric-type Pokémon. Zeraora's Electrike father was an Elite Four-level Pokémon, so his talent surely could not be too poor. He had also received Zeraora's training. Even Li Xunming was tempted by a Pokémon with that kind of foundation.
"I'm going first this round. Nobody fight me for it."
Li Xunming swaggered up to Zeraora, then took out his Pokémon.
(Let me make this clear first: this Trial battle is one-on-one. Bring out your strongest Pokémon.)
With a smile, Li Xunming took out Victreebel's Poké Ball and summoned it.
"I'm ready. Please show me what you've got."
Zeraora closed his eyes, and an identical clone appeared beside him, though it was much weaker. Was Zeraora planning to battle using a Double Team clone?
Sure enough, Zeraora's clone stepped onto the Battlefield. Its strength was roughly equal to Victreebel's. Chu Xin had not expected Zeraora to be so proficient with Double Team. He had never seen anyone use it with such mastery.
(Defeat my clone, and you pass the Trial.)
Zeraora remained where he was, while his clone assumed a fighting stance.

Once grass covered the entire battlefield, Li Xunming felt ninety percent certain of
