As the Chu used Surprising Speed, Sagralia countered immediately, as Itsuki had been prepared for the use of the move. Mock did not happen, as Chu was not given the directive to use it and the pre-existing conditions under which it was operating had not been fulfilled, and Sagralia's Trinity Force switched to SSS, enabling both the use of Hydroshackle and of Hydrosurge. The Kusarigama was not something that Sagralia had to worry about, as it would deal fairly negligible damage, so as the Chu continued on its path it would immediately be met with a Hydrosurge to the torso, which (due to the short distance and the 18fps speed) was guaranteed to hit the Chu directly. The fast and wide spray of water would engulf the small Chu and knock it back a fair distance just with sheer power, and though it was not a particularly effective move due to the Chu's Steel typing, it would create a buffer of distance.
Sagralia would then sow again, in a circle around itself, and infuse the seeds with Lifecharges, turning them into vines. The vines would give Sagralia a zone of comfort in which Chu could not act without repercussions, and simultaneously, it would unleash several Effigy of Loathing at the knocked back Chu, hoping to increase Sagralia's zone of control further. If, somehow, Chu was not hit by the Hydrosurge, Itsuki and Sagralia would be ready to react.
