We Won!

Time rewound once again to the moment before Tyranitar used Giga Impact.

When Milotic saw the terrifying force of Giga Impact, her instincts had already told her something.

She could not stop it.

At that final moment, the only move Milotic instinctively continued using was Aqua Ring, which allowed her to remain suspended in the air.

And Aqua Ring... was also a move that restored stamina.

Perhaps it was fate. Facing Tyranitar's Desperate Strike, Milotic did not use Protect. Instead, she frantically drove Aqua Ring to its limits.

When the smoke and dust from the explosion obscured both sides, Tyranitar and Milotic were already completely spent.

The only difference was that Milotic's Aqua Ring was still operating on its own.

Tyranitar, meanwhile, fainted outright during the bodily stiffness caused by Giga Impact.

Swish! "Tyranitar is incapacitated! Milotic wins! Contestant Sato, please Switch Pokemon!" The referee raised his flag high and announced loudly.

Needless to say, there were cheers and sighs from below the stage, but they all eventually turned into thunderous applause.

For Milotic, and for Tyranitar, who had taken on a Cross-Rank Challenge.

In truth, anyone with a discerning eye knew that if Milotic had not broken through during the battle, the final victory would undoubtedly have belonged to Tyranitar.

And even after Milotic's breakthrough, hadn't the frenzied Tyranitar crippled her again? Sato still had two Pokemon left! After recalling Tyranitar, which had reverted from its MEGA State, into its Poké Ball, Sato fell silent for a moment before sending out Kirlia without hesitation.

"Three moves. Help Tyranitar take back the victory that belongs to it!"

"Hmph, I only need one move!"

Kirlia, having Entered the Field, looked up proudly. As she communicated with Sato through Telepathy, a dazzling azure blue light had already begun shining from her body.
