The commentator's words made everyone nod involuntarily.
The situation on the field was indeed just as the commentator had described. With both sides evenly matched, neither could do anything to the other.
Unless one of the trainers switched Pokémon.
But no matter who switched Pokémon, the other side would choose another Pokémon to counter them.
That made the situation difficult to handle.
Just like now, Sui Yan had switched in Torkoal, and his opponent had immediately chosen Arcanine.
It was as if they had returned to the previous scene.

He neither chose to switch Pokémon nor had his Torkoal attack Arcanine.

Of course, Su Qianyan could choose not to switch Pokémon. But if he did not switch, Torkoal would not even need to boost itself—it could simply use [Fissure].

Su Qianyan smiled. After recalling his Arcanine into its Poké Ball, he sent out his next Pokémon.
"Go, Haxorus!"
To everyone's surprise, Su Qianyan did not choose Mega Pidgeot. Instead, he sent out his ace Pokémon, Haxorus.
Sui Yan was also somewhat surprised. He had originally thought Su Qianyan would send out Mega Pidgeot.
If that happened, he could have Torkoal use [Eruption] endlessly.

The moment Haxorus appeared, it charged straight at Torkoal.
Faced with that, Sui Yan could only recall his Torkoal into its Poké Ball first.
"Go, Charizard!"
"Charizard, Mega Evolve!"
