After Zhang Heng unhurriedly completed the treatment of the Rhyhorn's injuries, he leisurely turned around and looked at Xia Yong and the Little Boss who were standing by.
At this moment, his eyes revealed an undisguised boredom and disdain, as if the people in front of him were nothing more than clowns.
Xia Yong felt that gaze like thorns in his back, making him uncomfortable all over. The veins on his forehead bulged and throbbed, and his face turned red with anger. He was like a volcano about to erupt, seemingly ready to explode and rush forward to fight Zhang Heng at any second.
However, Zhang Heng completely ignored Xia Yong's obvious anger, remaining utterly unmoved. He didn't even lift an eyelid, merely shifting his gaze from Xia Yong to the Quagsire and Jellicent not far away.

After Zhang Heng carefully read the detailed attribute panels of these two Pokémon, he began to silently evaluate them in his mind: “From these statistics, these two are typical Water-type tank Pokémon. Quagsire leans towards physical defense, making it an excellent physical wall; while Jellicent focuses on special defense, making it an outstanding special wall. This combination is quite well-matched.”
After this thought, his gaze slowly returned to Xia Yong and the Little Boss. With a slight smirk, he said, “Oh, you even got new Pokémon? Not bad, buddy! One special wall and one physical wall, this setup is perfect for you two gatekeepers who are responsible for guarding the door!”
The veins on Xia Yong and the Little Boss's foreheads bulged even more prominently, and they gritted their back teeth as they said fiercely, “I hope you can be this stubborn later.”
Zhang Heng went to Qi Shu's side and whispered a few words into her ear. Qi Shu's ears were ticklish, and she squirmed for a long time. Zhang Heng directly put his arm around her shoulder and continued to finish the whispered conversation.
Qi Shu went from initial confusion to growing astonishment, and then was completely convinced by Zhang Heng's analysis.
Then he patted Qi Shu's shoulder and said to Xia Yong and the Little Boss, “This is my father’s chief disciple, the youngest Gym Leader in Guangdong Province, China. It’s still not too late for you to surrender.”
Before Xia Yong and the Little Boss could make a choice, Zhang Heng continued, “Anyway, you Water Blade Gang are fearless bandits, so it’s almost impossible for you to surrender. In that case, Qi Shu! Go! Kill them~”
Qi Shu didn't waste any words and directly launched an attack.
“Vikavolt, Bug Buzz.”
“Araquanid, go up and Crunch Jellicent.”
Upon hearing the command, Araquanid's eyes instantly flashed with a crimson, strange light. Its six thick, powerful long legs scurried with astonishing speed, its entire body moving like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, it gathered a powerful force in front of its head, condensing into an enormous, terrifying, pitch-black maw! It fiercely lunged towards Jellicent! It turned out Araquanid was still extremely displeased about Jellicent absorbing its Bubble Beam earlier.
At the same time, Vikavolt was not to be outdone. It flapped its wings and soared, rapidly ascending like an agile fighter jet, directly reaching above the battlefield.
After circling in the air for a moment, it began to launch a fierce attack. Waves of Bug-type energy sound waves emanated from its body, unleashing an indiscriminate, overwhelming, saturation attack.
Seeing this, Xia Yong quickly issued an order: “Quagsire, quickly jump in front of Jellicent and use Muddy Water to block the enemy’s attack!”
On the other side, the Little Boss was not to be outdone and shouted loudly, “Jellicent, full power, Water Spout!”
However, even though both sides responded promptly, Vikavolt's Bug Buzz skill was the first to reach the battlefield. The continuous, sky-shattering Bug Buzz sounded like rolling thunder, deafening, echoing endlessly throughout the vast, boundless dense forest, lingering for a long time.
Facing such a fierce and powerful wave of attacks, Quagsire and Jellicent, relying on their higher HP, gritted their teeth and endured this round of bombardment with their flesh and blood.
Araquanid's agile figure flashed, quickly pouncing on Jellicent from the side, its sharp, pointed teeth exposed. It was about to unleash its incredibly powerful Crunch skill! However, at this critical moment, Quagsire, who had been quietly waiting, suddenly moved.
In an instant, an incredibly powerful force surged around Quagsire, like a surging mountain flood. Immediately after, a turbid Muddy Water skill erupted from around its body. The muddy current seemed to be carrying countless mud and rocks, forming a terrifying torrent like a mudslide.
Araquanid was violently sent flying by this huge impact, directly interrupting the Crunch skill it was about to unleash.
Muddy Water, a Water-type special attack skill, 90 power. It attacks the opponent by spraying Muddy Water, sometimes lowering the opponent's accuracy.
Jellicent, within the range of the Muddy Water skill, was also a target of the attack. What was strange was, why did Jellicent not take damage?!
Not only did Jellicent not take damage, but due to the effect of its Water Absorb ability, it took no damage from Water-type attacks and even had its HP fully restored.
Jellicent floated there quietly, its round body trembling slightly, clearly accumulating power. The surrounding air seemed to grow heavy with its preparation.
A powerful stream of water erupted like a surging torrent! In an instant, the entire scene was enveloped by this immense surge of water.
Jellicent unleashed such astonishing power that even on solid ground, the water it spewed could still create surging waves, its power undiminished.
The waves rolled and roared, crashing with unstoppable momentum onto Vikavolt and Araquanid.
Water Spout, a Water-type special attack skill, 150 power. It is the ultimate skill of Water-type Pokémon, capable of creating a tidal wave for attack. The less HP it has, the weaker the move's power.
Deals damage to the target. Power decreases with remaining HP. Power = 150x (Current HP / Total HP).
Qi Shu suddenly exclaimed, “No, this is a tactic that can be infinitely nested?!”
