Braving the force of Psychic, Charizard seized the weakened Espeon in its claws and charged straight into the sky with unstoppable momentum!
An azure planet seemed to appear in the sky.
Charizard circled the planet once in midair, pouring all its strength into the throw as it plunged toward the ground with Espeon!
Then came a final Seismic Toss!
BOOM!!!
The ground shook as a shallow crater was smashed into the center of the battlefield, filling the air with dust.

With Charizard's victory, Ash's score had reached 4-1, giving him an overwhelming lead.
"So strong! Charizard is so cool!"
Dawn clapped excitedly, then exchanged a midair high five with Piplup.

Sparks crackled from Pikachu's cheeks, its eyes brimming with fighting spirit.
"Eevee, Shadow Ball!" Virgil launched the first attack.
The dark Shadow Ball hurtled toward Pikachu.
Pikachu became a streak of yellow lightning, easily
