The two were still agonizing over how to continue the battle when they discovered that their opponents had summoned two Entry Class Pokémon this time.
A mid-stage Entry Class Swablu and a late-stage Entry Class Gothorita.
The sight of this Pokémon surprised even Xiao Ran. He marveled inwardly that the Sea King's daughter certainly had a fortune behind her.
Not only did she possess an Abra, a famous family Pokémon in Western Europe, but she had even managed to catch an exceedingly rare Gothorita.
Although Gothorita's final evolution, Gothitelle, was only about on par with Gardevoir in terms of base stats, this was a Pokémon that had gone toe-to-toe with a Legendary Pokémon in the anime.

This time, however, she was disappointed. After a brief moment of surprise, Xiao Ran explained Gothorita's background.

"Also, Gothorita has three possible Abilities: Frisk, Competitive, and Shadow Tag. Competitive is innate, but Frisk and Shadow Tag can be developed through training. How many Abilities does your Gothorita have now?"
Xiao Ran's barrage of questions left Veranica dumbfounded. *What the hell? Is this my Pokémon or
