"Scizor lost. Compared to Charizard, how big is the gap in their levels?"

"And there's also the type disadvantage. Winning was basically impossible," Lucian said calmly.

Yanase turned to Lucian and said, "That's still pretty good. Besides, I think highly of Eichi."

Lucian shook his head and said nothing more.

Eichi glanced at Scizor's Poké Ball, clipped it to his belt, then took out another Poké Ball and threw it.

A Pokémon clad in silver-gray armor appeared on the Battle Arena.

It was Eichi's Golisopod. Golisopod had watched Scizor's defeat from inside its ball, and it was both angry and excited.

It was angry because Charizard had beaten Scizor too badly for it to bear watching, but Charizard's strength had also ignited its fighting spirit.

So it had only one goal now: defeat Charizard.

"Now this will be interesting. Eichi's Golisopod is impressive. It always manages to surprise us," Yanase said.

Hearing this, Lucian looked at Golisopod curiously. This was a Pokémon he had never seen before. He had heard it was very powerful and had already fought opponents above its level several times.

Zog frowned when he saw Golisopod, seemingly lost in thought.

"The match continues!"

Golisopod stared at Charizard in the sky.

It assumed a fighting stance, ready to attack at any moment.

"Golisopod, Water Cannon!"

It opened with a powerful move, without even the slightest intention of probing.

"Charizard, Flamethrower!"

Golisopod raised its head and opened its mouth wide. In an instant, Water-type energy particles gathered in its mouth, forming a sphere before erupting outward.

A massive spiraling water column blasted out, as thick as a bucket.

Charizard in the sky was no less willing to yield, firing a huge pillar of flames.

Water vapor and flames clashed in the air, neither able to overpower the other.
