Some coaches were riding high, while others hung their heads and smiled bitterly in silence!
The fourth match was one the audience had eagerly awaited, because their favorite, Hu Bin, was competing!
Once Hu Bin stepped onto the field, the crowd's cheers were entirely one-sided. Everyone was chanting his name.

The recoil from Moonblast launched Ninetales into the air, allowing it to escape Earthquake!
This was one of Hu Bin's most frequently used maneuvers, practically
