“Swampert, use Waterfall!” Jiang Mo launched the first attack, closing the distance between Swampert and Alakazam.
Swampert stomped its feet, charging towards Alakazam like a cannonball, water condensing around its body to form a massive water pillar, aiming directly at Alakazam.
“Alakazam, use Protect!” Elisa commanded calmly.
“Bang!”
Alakazam's body was instantly enveloped by a transparent energy barrier. Waterfall slammed against the barrier but failed to cause any damage.
“Swampert, use Water Pulse!”
“La qi!”
However, Alakazam’s reaction speed far exceeded Jiang Mo’s expectations.
Its eyes gleamed with a strange light, and a powerful Psychic energy instantly enveloped Swampert.
“Alakazam, use Confusion!”
Swampert's body was instantly bound by an invisible force, unable to move for a moment.
Jiang Mo's heart tightened, and he quickly shouted, “Swampert, break free!”
Despite Swampert's fierce struggles, Alakazam's Confusion held it firmly like iron pincers, making it impossible to break free.
“Alakazam, use Psychic!” Elisa seized the opportunity and decisively gave the order.
“Hu di!”
Alakazam's eyes flashed again, and a powerful Psychic energy surged directly towards Swampert.
Swampert was hit by Psychic again, letting out a painful roar, but it also used this force to break free from Alakazam's control.
“Swampert, continue using Waterfall!”
“Use Teleport!”
Swampert charged towards Alakazam again, but Alakazam's body instantly vanished from its original spot, easily dodging the Waterfall attack.
“Alakazam, use Psychic!”
Alakazam's eyes gleamed with a strange light, and a powerful Psychic energy once again surged directly towards Swampert.
Swampert was hit by Psychic, and its body swayed, clearly nearing its limit.
In the audience stands, Lin Junjun couldn't help but worry, “The level gap is too big. If this continues, Jiang Mo Gege's Swampert will lose…”
Wu Teng and Li Xiang also shook their heads, “There's no helping it. Swampert has already done very well to get this far.”
“Swampert, hang in there! Use Endure!” Jiang Mo's eyes sharpened; this was what he had been waiting for.
“La qi!”
Swampert's body was instantly enveloped by a tenacious will, enduring Alakazam's Psychic, preserving its last shred of stamina.
Elisa raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly surprised by Swampert's tenacity: “Oh? It can still Endure?”
Jiang Mo seized the opportunity and quickly ordered, “Swampert, use Endeavor!”
Swampert let out an angry roar, its body suddenly erupting with its last strength, charging wildly at Alakazam, attacking relentlessly.
Alakazam was hit by Swampert's Endeavor, letting out a painful roar, and its stamina was instantly brought down to the same level as Swampert's.
“It worked!”
Jiang Mo was instantly overjoyed; this was his plan.
Endure plus Endeavor directly brought Alakazam's stamina down to the same HP as Swampert's.
Jiang Mo admitted there was an element of gambling, but fortunately, Swampert lived up to expectations, successfully enduring, which gave it a chance to counterattack.
Elisa's expression changed slightly; she clearly hadn't expected Jiang Mo to use such a tactic.
She quickly ordered, “Alakazam, use Teleport!”
Alakazam's body instantly vanished from its original spot, creating distance from Swampert.
Meanwhile, Swampert had exhausted its last bit of stamina and finally collapsed powerlessly to the ground, losing its ability to battle.
“Swampert is unable to battle! Alakazam wins!” Rotom announced loudly.
The audience immediately erupted.
“This is truly too exciting!”
“A gambling tactic, ah! Jiang Mo's grasp of Swampert's HP was truly too precise. Wasn't he afraid Swampert would be instantly knocked out?”
“Tsk tsk tsk, this is my first time seeing Elisa's Alakazam get beaten like this…”
On the battlefield, Jiang Mo took a deep breath, recalled Swampert, and whispered, “You worked hard, Swampert. You can have a break now.”
Swampert's Poké Ball couldn't help but shake twice, expressing its current mood.
At this moment, Alakazam's stamina had been brought to an extremely low state; as long as he seized the opportunity, he could defeat it in one fell swoop.
Jiang Mo didn't intend to let this good opportunity pass and released his second Pokémon: “Tyranitar, prepare for battle!”
As Tyranitar appeared, it immediately stirred up a Sandstorm, enveloping the entire battlefield in yellow sand.
“Tyranitar, use Precipice Blades!”
“Ya hou!”
Tyranitar swung its hands, and a giant rock greatsword rose from the ground, fiercely cleaving towards Alakazam.
“Alakazam, use Teleport to dodge!”
“Boom!”
Alakazam's body vanished from its original spot again. Precipice Blades missed, and Tyranitar's attack created a large hole where Alakazam had just been.
“Alakazam, use Recover!”
At the same time, Elisa was floating in the air, her beautiful golden hair falling behind her shoulders, her entire body surging with Psychic energy.
Alakazam's body was instantly enveloped by a green energy, and its stamina rapidly recovered.
Jiang Mo's expression immediately became grim.
“This… this is too overpowered!” Jiang Mo secretly complained in his heart.
Elisa's Psychic connected with Alakazam, not only boosting Alakazam's aura but also enhancing its recovery ability.
Alakazam's stamina was almost instantly fully restored, as if the previous battle had no effect on it.
“Tyranitar, use Crunch!” Jiang Mo quickly ordered.
Tyranitar opened its mouth wide, its sharp teeth filled with Dark-type energy, and lunged towards Alakazam.
Alakazam's eyes gleamed with a calm light, and Elisa's voice echoed in its mind: “Alakazam, use Reflect!”
Following Elisa's command, Alakazam's hands moved swiftly, forming a transparent energy barrier in front of it.
Tyranitar's Crunch slammed against Reflect. The originally fierce Dark-type energy was greatly weakened. Although it still hit Alakazam, the damage caused was far lower than Jiang Mo's expectation.
Jiang Mo's brows furrowed when he saw this. Reflect could block a large amount of physical damage, making it very troublesome.
Meanwhile, Elisa didn't give Jiang Mo any breathing room. She continued to command, “Alakazam, use Dazzling Gleam!”
Alakazam's body was instantly enveloped by brilliant Fairy-type energy, and dazzling light bloomed like stars, surging directly towards Tyranitar.
Fairy-type energy naturally countered Tyranitar's Dark-type attribute. The power of Dazzling Gleam was magnified to the extreme by the 2x effectiveness and level advantage.
“Tyranitar, quickly use Protect!” Jiang Mo shouted, but it was already too late.
The light of Dazzling Gleam instantly enveloped Tyranitar. Tyranitar let out a painful roar, its body trembling violently in the light.
Although it tried to steady itself, the damage from this attack was too immense. Tyranitar's stamina was instantly reduced to the danger line.
At the same time, Elisa's Psychic fluctuations intensified again. Her eyes gleamed with a strange light, completely connecting with Alakazam's Psychic.
Alakazam's aura suddenly increased, and Jiang Mo discovered that its level had instantly climbed to 65!
“Tyranitar, we can't drag this out any longer! Use Precipice Blades!”
This battle was destined to be a war of attrition. At this point, Jiang Mo could only hope that Tyranitar could consume more of Alakazam's stamina before it fell.
