At the referee's signal, both trainers threw their Poké Balls.
"Go, Gyarados!"
Lance's opening was still his trademark red "Intimidate" Gyarados!
The savage-looking Gyarados, clad in red scales, rose just half its body and already stood over three meters tall, letting out an ear-splitting roar!

Though he did not know whether Sakaki Boss's Tyranitar had any blood relation to his own, surely...
By watching the match, his Tyranitar ought to be able to learn something, at
