Team Rocket's Second-in-Command!

With a powerful push of its legs, Blastoise launched itself off the ground.

Its massive body shot sideways like a cannonball.

Fire Blast whistled past, crashing into where Blastoise had just been.

A series of thunderous explosions rocked the ground, with smoke and debris engulfing the entire field.

Watching the aftermath, Gary felt a chill of relief.

"That was close..."

Had he opted for Blastoise to brace and endure it, it would have been either out of commission or seriously injured.

But Gary quickly collected himself.

Firing off five consecutive Fire Blasts surely took a toll on Charizard's stamina, right?

With that in mind, Gary signaled to Blastoise, "Blastoise, use Muddy Water!"

This move wasn't only significantly stronger than Water Gun and Water Pulse, trailing only Hydro Cannon in power—it also had a chance of lowering the target's accuracy. It was one of Blastoise's most formidable moves.
