Wyndon Stadium.
After an all-out exchange of attacks,
the two passed each other with Meteor Assault and Dynamic Punch.
After both held their positions for several seconds,
Machamp was the first to lose the ability to battle.
But before Li Wei could celebrate,
Sirfetch'd's sword hand loosened slightly.
Its leek sword gently touched the ground.
It looked back at Li Wei one last time.
"Far!"
Sirfetch'd's cry rang out strong and clear.
But it was only a final rally.
Sirfetch'd's eyes were calm and content.
Then it slowly toppled forward...
The referee drew a deep breath before announcing loudly:
"Machamp and Sirfetch'd are both unable to battle!"
"A draw! A brutal draw!"
Jason's voice trembled with excitement.
"Sirfetch'd closed the gap with Final Gambit, ultimately taking Machamp down with it!"
"With the Final Gambit he kept hidden until the very end, Li Wei managed to take out Green's Machamp in an unfavorable matchup!"
Li Wei looked at the fallen Sirfetch'd and Machamp on the field, a smile spreading across his face.
"In the most unfavorable of No Guard exchanges, Li Wei found the decisive move in Final Gambit."
"Green's Machamp performed to perfection,
but Li Wei's response was even better."
Li Wei and Green each recalled their fallen partners.
Looking at Sirfetch'd's Poké Ball, Li Wei said softly, "Thanks for all your hard work. You did wonderfully."
Green also murmured, "Thanks for all your hard work."
The score stood at 2-1.
Backstage, Cynthia, Lorelei, Red, and the others watched the match without taking their eyes off it.
Blue, Yellow, and Crystal, who were sitting together, were even holding their breath.
Beneath the brim of his cap, Red's gaze was utterly calm.
Yet that calm held a fighting spirit.
Whether he faced Green or Li Wei,
he would not go easy
