However... even though Araquanid's typing and ability were superior, in a real fight, it wasn't guaranteed to beat Ninetales.
After all, Kenji's Ninetales was extrely special. Besides mastering Fire moves, it was equally proficient in various Psychic-type moves.
As for Araquanid's Water attacks—yes, boosted by Water Bubble, they would deal terrifying quadruple damage to Ninetales.
But that was assuming Araquanid could actually hit Ninetales.
Kenji hesitated for a mont, but ultimately raised his Poké Ball toward the Ninetales on the field.
"Return for now, Ninetales."
Although Kenji was highly confident Ninetales could win, he decided to recall it after so thought.
First, there was no need to force a disadvantageous matchup.
Hua Mingyan was a senior trainer, after all. If Kenji's Ninetales beat her Araquanid despite the massive type disadvantage, it might make her look bad.
Second, and most importantly.
Kenji wanted to see just how strong Arbok had beco.
"Go! Arbok!!"
Kenji threw another Poké Ball. Pop!
As Kenji's voice rang out, a red light shot onto the battlefield.
When the light faded, Hua Mingyan paused, exclaiming in surprise, "A black Arbok??"
Just like everyone who saw Arbok for the first ti, her expression was filled with shock.
This Arbok stood out too much. Compared to a normal Arbok, it differed vastly in both color and appearance.
Rather than a typical snake, Arbok's form now leaned more towards a dragon. The two protrusions on its head resembled horns more than ever.
"Chaa!!! —"
Upon entering the stage, Arbok let out a low hiss. Its cold, reptilian eyes locked onto the opposing Araquanid, poised to strike at any mont.
Having been away from its trainer's command for so long, Arbok was eager to show Kenji just how much it had improved through this battle.

"Speed Mode! Thunder Fang!"
"Araquanid! Use Bubble Beam!"
"Swish!! —"
The mont Kenji gave the order, the pattern on Arbok's chest shifted abruptly, transforming into the Speed Pattern.
Boosted by the Speed Pattern, Arbok turned into a black bolt of lightning, rushing toward Araquanid with incredible velocity.
So fast!!
That was the first thought that flashed through Hua Mingyan's mind.
On the other side, Araquanid raised two pairs of legs and fired a barrage of bubbles, sweeping the area in front of it.
The dense curtain of bubbles instantly covered the entire zone ahead, leaving no gaps for Arbok to slip through.
Facing the bubble wall, Arbok didn't try to force its way through. Instead, it leaped into the air, using its montum to soar over the barrage and pounce on Araquanid from above.
It's flying!!!
Araquanid and Hua Mingyan were both startled.
While they were shocked, Arbok had already arrived in front of Araquanid.
"Bubble Guard!!"
The water bubble on Araquanid's head expanded several tis in size instantly. The head inside the bubble opened its mouth, filling the large bubble with smaller, denser bubbles to further increase its defense.
But Arbok gave it no ti to prepare. It was already there, its jaws wide open. Its sharp fangs crackled with restless electricity. As it bit down...
Pop!
The water bubble on Araquanid's head burst with a series of popping sounds.
Simultaneously, the pattern on Arbok's chest shifted again the mont it reached Araquanid.
From Speed Pattern to Attack Pattern.
Under the Attack Pattern's boost, Araquanid's bubble defense was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
CRUNCH!! —
After tearing through the bubble shield, Arbok bit down hard on Araquanid's blue head, electricity surging violently.
"Araqua!!! —"
Araquanid let out a pained wail. Its six spider legs dug into the ground like spears, desperately trying to pull its head back.
But Arbok's fangs were locked tight, unmoved by Araquanid's struggle.
Crack... Crack...
A glint of crimson flashed in Arbok's eyes. Slowly, it lifted its head, raising Araquanid's body—which was no smaller than its own—into the air.
"Araquanid! Liquidation!!"
A layer of water began to coat Araquanid's body. But just as the water veil ford, Arbok's eyes glowed redder, and it bit down harder.
Crunch!
The intense pain caused Araquanid to lose control of the Water energy instantly. The Liquidation failed.
Araquanid's large head was its weak point. With Arbok clamping down on it, defeat was inevitable.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Arbok began to swing its head. As it swung, Araquanid's body spun wildly like a windmill.
Faster and faster.
YEET!!! —
In the next mont, Arbok stopped swinging and released its jaw.
Araquanid was launched sideways, crashing heavily into the ground with a dull thud.
BOOM...
Dust rose from the impact site.
When the dust settled, Araquanid lay on the battlefield, six legs pointing at the sky. It was completely flipped over and unconscious.
"Araquanid is unable to battle!! Arbok wins the round!!!"
