"Phew... It's the first time since then, isn't it?"
Terrakion seemed somewhat prepared for its Sacred Sword to break. Rather than showing much shock, it looked at Leafeon with a complicated expression.

"I imagine you have no need for the broken horn of a defeated opponent. So I'll make the decision and give it to the person who arranged this thrilling battle."
Terrakion casually flung its broken horn into the hands of the
