"Rest well, Manectric! Lopunny, you're up!"
Bai Shi recalled the unconscious Manectric and sent out Lopunny.
He immediately took out the Key Stone Bracelet and strapped it onto his wrist.
"Using the bond between us, break through the ultimate barrier and forge a brand-new future!"

"Infernape, watch out!"
Ash's pupils constricted as
