"Bubble Beam!"
Yamei quickly gave the command.
The Crawdaunt and the Aggron were not far apart; with the speed the latter had just displayed, it would be difficult to dodge another attack.
So she thought it was necessary to disrupt the enemy first, from multiple aspects like vision and position.
"Hiss!"
This crawdad ran sideways towards the Aggron, opening its diamond-shaped mouth, and countless azure bubbles shot out, covering the latter's face suddenly.
Pop-pop-pop——
Some of the bubbles burst, but more remained, blocking its vision like a mask.
"Roar?"
Instinctively, the Aggron lifted its paw to swat them away.
Seeing this, Yamei immediately ordered, "Now! Double Crab Claw Hammer!"
"Hiss!"
The Crawdaunt raised its fierce claws, shrouded in a water-blue glow that seemed to magnify them twice, looking extraordinarily sharp.
It raised both claws high and slammed them towards the Aggron, who was entirely focused on the bubbles!
Whoosh!
The sound of the wind was heavy!
Then came a crisp metallic clang, as the water-blue light burst bright!
Bam!
Water Attribute Energy exploded, turning the fierce spirit into thick white fog!
The commentator shouted, "Crawdaunt's Crab Claw Hammer hit! Contestant Yamei is determined to go all out, using Water Attribute Techniques that Aggron finds hard to resist for continuous attacks! This to Aggron——"
The heavy claws cleared the fog, revealing Aggron with two impact marks on its chest, but that was all.
Its expression hadn't even changed a bit!
"Still no effect!" The commentator was dumbfounded, rubbing his eyes to see if he was mistaken.
This was a Water Attribute Technique with an advantage!
How could it have no effect?
The audience had grown numb, though relying on taking hits to show strength was a foolish way, it was also the most direct way.
What was sharper, what was harder, unless the spear and shield actually clashed?
Aggron had successfully shown all spectators inside and outside the venue its unimaginable defensive capabilities, as well as the huge gap between contestants Baimu and Yamei.
"Hiss..."
The Crawdaunt retreated repeatedly, hardly believing its proud claws could not break the opponent's defense!
At the same time.
The Aggron suddenly took a step forward.
"——Water Jet!!"
Yamei was so scared she got goosebumps, almost screeching.
The Crawdaunt dared not hesitate, water jets burst from under its claws, transforming into a crystal blue water column rising sharply!
Rumble!
This guy seemed ready to leap over Aggron's head and flee to the other half of the field!
But they were ready to make a move.
Baimu wouldn't let it run so easily.
"Iron Tail!"
"Roar."
Aggron suddenly bent down, and the Crawdaunt, trying to leap, was immediately pierced by a silver shadow, breaking through its outer water membrane!
Bam!
A deafening bang!
"Aggron strikes! Crawdaunt was hit in the abdomen by Iron Tail, with obvious effect! The Crawdaunt's situation is very dire!"
Amidst the commentary, the Crawdaunt, hit by Iron Tail scattering the water membrane, soared high, its abdominal shell full of cracks.
"Hiss!"
Its painful whine attracted Yamei's cry, "Crawdaunt! Hold On! Use Water Jet again!"
However, Aggron's attack wasn't over yet; its thick tail swiftly rose straight up like a dark gray steel needle fitted with two iron rings.
In an instant.
Ominous dark clouds churned and expanded in the air.
Yamei's heartbeat quickened——
BOOM!!
A dazzling blue thunderbolt descended from the clouds, striking the falling Crawdaunt with incredible speed, the flashing lightning like a cage!
Bam!
Smoke rose in mid-air!
The commentator shouted, "Thunder hit! Aggron used its tail as a lightning rod, guiding the lightning onto Crawdaunt! This strike is extremely heavy for Crawdaunt! Can it hold on!?"
Bang!
The Crawdaunt fell onto the grass, its eyes covered with spirals, its body marked with charred traces, and blue smoke slowly rose.
Fortunately, this was in the Pokémon World; otherwise, just that lightning strike would have been enough to turn it into a roast crawfish.
"Crawdaunt has lost the ability to fight!"
The referee's verdict was swift.
The commentator cheered, "Got it! Contestant Baimu has taken down contestant Yamei's second Pokémon, leaving contestant Yamei with just one Pokémon remaining! The situation is in a severe crisis!"
The audience cheered with enthusiasm!
Aggron stood itself up, using its tail to sweep the fallen Crawdaunt toward Yamei, then beckoned with its claw.
Come on, send out the third one quickly!
"..."
Yamei's face flushed with anger, Aggron's taunting attitude of doing whatever it wanted made her clench her fists, yet she was helpless.
The gap was too big!
Despite both having attacked twice, neither Crawdaunt nor Mightyena could break Aggron's defense, while the latter controlled their lifeline with every move!
How to fight?
She wanted to calm down and devise a strategy, but the match wouldn't give her much time to ponder.
When she noticed the referee getting ready to raise the flag, Yamei panicked and could only throw the Pokeball she held tightly.
Bam!
A flash of white light.
Aggron's final opponent appeared.
"Yameh~"
The stubby and crouched Sableye took the stage, with sapphire-like eyes gleaming sinisterly.
Seeing this Pokémon only slightly taller than its knees, Aggron shifted from its previous disdainful attitude to a more serious demeanor.
