Fortunately, although the success rate of using Protect consecutively was not high, the probability of successfully using it for the first time in a battle was still quite high.
Just as Pidgeot was about to strike Pelipper, a green barrier flared around its body. Protect had been successfully used.
Pidgeot's shadows passed through one after another.
But it wasn't over yet.
"Follow up with U-turn."
Tetsuya's relentless assault had clearly caught Kajiyama off guard.
He could not even accurately locate Pidgeot's current position, much less judge which direction Pelipper should defend.
As for the rain passing through the Double Team shadows, Kajiyama said that with rain this heavy, he could not see clearly anyway.

If he did not know where the opponent was, then he would attack himself along with it.
Pelipper was Water-type, after all, so the damage received would be far less than Pidgeot's.
On the field, Pelipper was surrounded by Pidgeot and its copies.
Pidgeot remained extremely calm. First, it and several illusory copies used Wing Attack from below to lightly touch Pelipper's Protect, causing the barrier around Pelipper to vanish.
As Tetsuya gave the command for U-turn, a rather spectacular scene unfolded.
Every Pidgeot surrounding Pelipper from all directions was shrouded in the white light of U-turn.
With Pelipper as the center point, more than a dozen massive Pidgeots scattered at tremendous speed before charging at it in different postures.
Some Pidgeots flew backward for a distance, then traced an arc through the air and made a 180-degree turn toward Pelipper.
Others soared high into the sky before diving down at high speed. Some even crossed past one another, twisting their bodies in sideways flight to attack Pelipper from both sides.
