"Scyther!"
Scyther's wings were wrapped in white energy as it charged straight into the area blanketed by Stun Spore.
At its current stage, it was impossible for it to flood its entire body with Quick Attack's energy, accelerating its attack while also using it for protection.
Going around would consume additional stamina and give Shroomish more time to react.
Therefore.
Both Gary and this Bug Tribe warrior chose an extremely aggressive-looking style of battle.
"Not a bad judgment.
Given the speed gap between them, even if Scyther became paralyzed, it might not necessarily be slower than Shroomish.
Besides, Shroomish's stamina is pitifully low. Once Scyther gets close, it will not even need to use Bug-type moves that counter it. If it simply keeps swinging its blades for a period of time, Shroomish probably will not be able to hold on."

It was only a battle between two ordinary-level Pokémon. There was no need for him to watch intently from the sidelines. Tetsuya was still on the field anyway, so there was no need to worry about any accidents.
His words showed clear approval for Gary.
"I've never seen you praise your other disciples so attentively."
Yuriko rolled her eyes at her husband. "They work hard too, you know."
"Hard work is one thing. How strong they can ultimately become is another." Asuka stood with his hands behind his back, looking somewhat profound. "The world is inherently unfair."
The goal some people spend their entire lives pursuing and longing for is nothing more than something others can accomplish with a casual wave of their hand.
Gary has great talent for the profession of a Trainer.
The other disciples, even Brawly and Ali, will probably reach their
