Eichi took out another Poké Ball and threw it.
Golisopod appeared before everyone's eyes.
The moment Golisopod emerged, Kado's eyes lit up, though his expression was complicated.
This was the Golisopod that had defeated his Blaziken.
Even now, he did not know whether it had gone all out in their last battle.
Everyone was looking forward to this one. The odds of victory were now evenly split.
First of all, Golisopod was a Water-type and Bug-type Pokémon. Its Water-type attacks could deal four times the damage to Rhyperior.
However, Rhyperior was a full four levels higher, with the divide of the Elite Four level between them. Once a Pokémon reached Elite Four level, the gap between each level became enormous.
The difficulty of fighting above one's level also rose sharply.
Only an even matchup could truly raise expectations. But some people knew that even if Rhyperior defeated Golisopod, Eichi still had four Pokémon left.
Winning against every one of them was basically impossible.
Unless Rhyperior could defeat Golisopod with ease, there was no hope.
Thus, Rex was under immense pressure now.
Rex wore a solemn expression, seemingly seriously considering how to defeat Golisopod.
If he wanted to defeat Golisopod in the shortest possible time, the only option was a head-on clash.
Even tactics might not be effective, and they were not Rhyperior's specialty anyway.
Rhyperior was different from Kado's Blaziken. Its level was higher, and its strength was greater.
So it all depended on it now.

Golisopod looked up and saw three massive boulders filling its vision.
"Golisopod, Slash."
Golisopod raised both palms, invisible energy covering its arms.
The four sharp claws gleamed with
