He had never imagined that his ace Pokémon would be defeated outright by Zhang Cheng's Poliwrath.
"I wonder if you're still as confident as you were before the match," Zhang Cheng taunted, looking at Chen Dian's sour expression.
"Hmph, the match has only just begun. Don't get cocky yet!" As Chen Dian spoke, he threw his second Poké Ball, sending out Pupitar to battle.
