In the end, Sui Yan chose to continue the challenge.
However, this time, Sui Yan did not manage to win.
The Island Nation contestant was still very strong, and with the type disadvantage, Sui Yan ultimately failed to defeat his opponent.
"I'll leave the rest to you."

He only needed to worry about Crawdaunt.
"We can see that both contestants have sent out their Pokémon. Contestant Lu Ze has even immediately commanded his Charizard to Mega Evolve."
"It looks like, just as Contestant Lu Ze said before the match, he intends to make this quick!"
[Make it quick? You both have five Master-level Pokémon. Where does that confidence come from?]
[To be fair, Lu Ze really is strong. I'm from the United States, and I also think Lu Ze can win, but isn't saying he'll make it quick a little too Swagger?]
[I know he can win, but I don't believe he can make it quick.]
[Why can't
