"Uh... I'd suggest you get your head checked after the match too."
Xu Mu wiped away a cold sweat. Sure enough, a Trainer's Pokémon took after its Trainer.
Fighting an opponent who didn't even deserve a name taxed more than his brain cells. It tested his patience too.
"Moltres, that's enough. Let's fight!"
"You've still got two more opponents waiting!"
At Xu Mu's words, Moltres held nothing back.
With Burning Jealousy, black-purple flames surged straight at Swellow!
See? That proved it.
