"Come back, Lucario!"
After recalling his Lucario into its Poké Ball, Lu Ze took out another Luxury Ball.
"Then I'll leave the next one to you!"
As Lu Ze's voice fell, the Poké Ball was thrown out.
Red light flashed from the Poké Ball, and a Sirfetch'd appeared on the field.
"Sirfetch'd!"
Seeing Sirfetch'd take the field, Ash, who was watching from the side, excitedly took out a Poké Ball as well.
After Farfetch'd appeared, Ash looked at it excitedly.

Neither Pokémon had any intention of dodging.
Sirfetch'd landed after a midair flip and charged at Machamp again.
After dropping to one knee and sliding back two steps, Machamp steadied itself and launched another attack at Sirfetch'd.
"Dynamic Punch!"
Bea threw a punch forward, and Machamp mirrored her stance as its right fist slammed toward Sirfetch'd with [Dynamic Punch].
"Counter!"
However, Lu Ze did not have his Sirfetch'd meet Machamp's attack head-on!
Instead, he chose [Counter]!
Bang!
Machamp's punch struck Sirfetch'd, and Sirfetch'd immediately swung its Leek back into Machamp's body.
Both Pokémon took damage and were sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground!
Machamp had taken more damage than Sirfetch'd, so it got back to its
