Wyndon Stadium.
After Li Wei sent out Metagross following Dragapult's defeat,
Dawn couldn't help feeling puzzled.
"Why didn't Teacher send out Arcanine?"
Brock shook his head. "I don't know either. Maybe he has something else planned?"
Blue and Cynthia, however, could more or less guess what Li Wei was thinking.
If he wanted to defeat Leon,
Charizard was undoubtedly a Pokémon he would have to deal with.
Milotic had already been revealed, so might not work as a trump card.

The Wood Hammer broke through the psychic barrier and slammed into Metagross.
That certainly demonstrated Rillaboom's strength,
but as a Grass-type move, it had little effect on the Steel-type Metagross.
"Keep using Wood Hammer!"
"Dodge,
