You Still Cannot Win Against Me

In the "2+1+1" match format, while a 2–0 sweep was rare in the first doubles match,

if it did happen, the winning side had to temporarily recall one Pokemon and face their opponent in a 4v2 single-battle round robin tournament.

Thus, Itsuki quickly recalled Starmie, leaving Mr. Mime on the field.

Ryoko, who had already lost two Pokemon, promptly sent out her next one. Clearly, she had not yet given up.

Haxorus!

A Dragon-type Pokemon she had caught in Dragon Village while traveling with Sato, it possessed a gentle nature that did not match its appearance.

Then, Ryoko erupted!

Zweilous's strength completely exceeded Itsuki's expectations. Mr. Mime was instantly defeated by a single Guillotine.

And the multiple Light Screens Mr. Mime had set up beforehand proved utterly useless against a one-hit KO move! Itsuki then sent out Starmie again. Determined not to let it get close, he steadfastly kept up a barrage of ranged harassment.

But Ryoko completely ignored convention, commanding Haxorus to use Roar and directly scare Starmie back into its Poké Ball. Left with no choice, Itsuki could only send out a new Pokemon.

Alakazam, another Pokemon skilled at ranged attacks and equally determined not to engage at close quarters.

Clearly, Itsuki had been frightened by Haxorus's terrifying Attack Power. Of course, as a Psychic, most of his Pokemon were indeed better at special attacks.

Everyone had assumed Alakazam would use kiting tactics to gradually wear down Haxorus's stamina, but to their shock, Haxorus was actually faster than Alakazam.

The battle then became Alakazam constantly using Teleport to evade Haxorus's Pursuit.

A defense that lasted too long was bound to fail. Haxorus, with its exceptionally keen Battle Awareness, actually predicted where Alakazam would Teleport next during its Pursuit, then instantly defeated it with a Dragon Claw!
