Charizard vs. Latios

"To defeat my Darkrai, you truly live up to being a Top Four contestant!"

"My next Pokémon is this... Go, Latios!"

Tobias praised Ash for a moment, then sent a streamlined, jet-like blue and white Pokémon onto the field.

"The intelligence Bai Shi told me yesterday is correct."

"Besides Darkrai, the opponent also has a Latios!"

Thanks to Bai Shi's warning, Ash remained calm upon seeing Latios and did not show excessive surprise.

"Return, Sceptile! Swellow, I choose you!"

Ash pondered for a moment and still decided to switch out Sceptile, which had already consumed quite a bit of stamina, for Swellow.

"Latios, don't let it get away, chase after it."

Latios followed closely behind, rising into the high altitude along with Swellow.

The two Pokémon engaged in an intense chase in the air.

"Good opportunity, Swellow, use Aerial Ace!"

Instead of panicking, Ash was pleased and suddenly ordered Swellow to pull a sudden counter-attack.

Swellow reversed its direction, made a wide loop in the air, and rushed toward Latios at extreme speed.

"Latios, use Dragon Pulse!"

Tobias's heart was
