Wrapped in Dragon-type energy, Crobat slammed directly into the Gardevoir that had just appeared behind her using [Teleport].
Before Gardevoir could react, Crobat sent her flying.
"Cross Poison!"
Gardevoir was already barely holding on after [Dragon Ascent] alone.
Then Crobat's [Cross Poison] sent Gardevoir crashing down from the air.
"Bang!"
Gardevoir smashed into the pit. The arena had already been a massive crater, and she carved out an even smaller pit within it.
Seeing that Gardevoir was no longer moving, the referee jumped down to check her condition.
"Gardevoir has lost the ability to battle! The winner of this match is Crobat!"
As the referee's announcement rang out, cheers erupted from the audience as well.
"Let us congratulate Lu Ze on his victory in this match!"
"With that, the World Sky Rankings have been decided!"
"Elite Four Lu Ze takes eleventh place!"
After saying that, the commentator froze for a moment.
According to the usual procedure, the Elite Four ranked eleventh through fifteenth were supposed to come onstage next and be asked whether they wished to continue challenging the top ten.
If they chose to continue, the challenges would begin tomorrow.
If they chose not to, the rankings would be finalized.
But the problem was that there was now a giant pit in the middle of the arena!
They could hardly have the five Elite Four contestants stand inside the pit while speaking, could they?
The commentator hesitated, but the person in charge of the venue reacted quickly.
He threw two Poké Balls into the arena. After the two Water-type Pokémon rapidly filled the entire field with [Surf] and [Rain Dance]...
The venue manager directed them to use [Ice Beam] once more.
After freezing over the entire arena, there were still some uneven spots, but it was now stable enough
