Wyndon Stadium.
Arcanine had successfully dealt Charizard a devastating blow with Precipice Blade, revealing the move to the crowd for the first time.
The price was that Arcanine's stamina had also reached its limit.
Another Ancient Power from Charizard knocked Arcanine out.
Still, Arcanine had accomplished the task Li Wei had set perfectly.

By turning into plasma lightning, Zeraora could evade Scorching Sands, Earthquake, Bulldoze, and a whole host of other Ground-type moves with ease.
"Leon, just as you said."
Li Wei's voice rang out with particular clarity through
