Time flew.
A week had passed since Bai Shi began guiding Drake through his training.
Today was the final day of his instruction.
To test the results of that training, Myer would face Drake in a one-on-one match.
"Buizel, come on out!"
Brimming with fighting spirit, Drake sent out his Pokémon, Buizel, first.
Under Bai Shi's guidance, his Buizel had undergone a complete transformation, its strength far beyond what it had once been.
Even against Myer, who had always outdone him since childhood, he believed he could win.
"Go, Victreebel!"

Myer took the opportunity to launch an attack.
Tangrowth formed a massive green ball of energy and hurled it at Buizel.
"Buizel, dodge it!"
Drake's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted to Buizel.
In the rain, Buizel's Swift Swim Ability activated.
Its speed increased dramatically.

Buizel's body became enveloped in torrents of water as it charged toward Tangrowth at astonishing speed.
"Tangrowth, use Protect!"
Unruffled, Myer calmly gave his command.
Tangrowth formed
