The battle began, and Huang Ye's Rhydon immediately rushed forward, its massive body slamming into Graveler.
Graveler was sent flying backward, but it quickly recovered and counterattacked.
The two massive Pokémon began fighting fiercely, their bodies constantly colliding.
The battle was intense, but Huang Ye's Rhydon was clearly stronger. It landed a powerful blow on Graveler, sending it crashing to the ground and unable to continue fighting.
"Graveler!" the boy shouted.
The Referee announced, "Graveler has lost its ability to battle. Rhydon wins."
The boy was stunned. He had not expected to lose so quickly.
Huang Ye recalled Rhydon and walked down with a smile. "I told you I'd beat you."
The boy said unhappily, "You're just lucky. If we fight again, I'll definitely win."
Huang Ye said, "Sure, I'll give you that chance."
With that, he returned to the Rest Area.
Jiang Jing said, "Good job, Huang Ye. Now it's time for Su Jincheng to take the field."
Su Jincheng stood up and walked onto the Arena.
The opponent was a boy with a calm expression. He said, "I'm not like the others. I won't underestimate you."
Su Jincheng said, "I hope you can do your best."
The two took out their Poké Balls and threw them.

"Go, Aggron!"

"Go, Garchomp!"

Two massive figures appeared on the battlefield.
The opponent had sent out Garchomp, a Pokémon with a massive body covered in dark-blue scales.
Its arms were long and strong, with sharp claws on its hands. Its legs were short and thick, with three toes on each foot.
Garchomp's most distinctive feature was the massive, sharp, blade-like tail that extended from its lower back.

• Jiang Jing raises Empoleon's talent from ★★★★ to ★★★★★ using Colorful Energy, which also raises its level from 32 to 33, catching it up to the first echelon.

• Su Wei: Shows humility and dependency on Jiang Jing's strength, acknowledging he can't beat him but maintaining his pride. His rivalry with Yang Fan is fleshed out.

3. Significant Themes

• Growth through transformation: Evolution and talent-raising act as "rebirth", with the energy described as reshaping Pokémon from the inside out, addressing flaws from hatching onward.
