After several rounds of exchanges, Mightyena was struck head-on by a precise Flamethrower and lost the ability to battle.
Flannery's Typhlosion entered the field immediately afterward.
The flames on this Pokémon's back had been catalyzed by the high-temperature environment until they nearly became tangible pillars of fire. Every move it unleashed carried a suffocating pressure.
After Gardevoir took the field, it tried to wage a guerrilla battle with Teleport and Psychic. However, the high-temperature arena caused its Inner Focus to drain twice as fast as usual. After finally defeating Typhlosion, it too lost the ability to battle.
After Gardevoir left the field, Milotic took its place.

Xinhai could only have it use as many Water-type moves as possible to cool down the environment and create better conditions for the partners who would take the field afterward.
After Milotic lost the ability to battle, Haxorus took the field in its place.
The temperature inside the energy barrier had dropped considerably by then, but it still made Haxorus's battle extremely difficult.
Xinhai and Haxorus made every effort to use Dragon Pulse and Rock Tomb to create opportunities for Hone Claws. In the end, at the cost of taking damage, it raised its Attack by two stages and forcibly defeated Typhlosion.

Xinhai stood in the command area, recalled Krookodile,
