Xiaojing hurried to the edge of the field, a green flag somehow already in hand, and looked solemnly at the two Trainers before announcing,
"Gym Leader Winona versus challenger Yong! Each may use three Pokémon! The side whose Pokémon all become unable to battle loses! During the battle, only the challenger may switch Pokémon!"
As Xiaojing finished speaking, Winona smiled and threw her Pokémon Ball.
"Spread your wings, Swellow!"
A silhouette flashed out of the light, streaked across the sky, and hovered before them.
"Swellow~!!!"
That familiar figure appeared once more-Swellow!
Compared to Taillow, her body was larger and more slender!
Scarlet markings adorned her neck, tail tips, and forehead, giving her an even more imposing air.
Her belly was still white, and the two tail feathers behind her stood straight, a sign of good health. A long tuft of feathers swept upward at the back of her head like a crown.

Swellow!
Wow, she's gone all in on speed! Just what you'd expect from a Flying-type expert-she knows how to play to her strengths!
Yong frowned slightly, then returned to his expressionless look and nodded to Baltoy.
"The first round is yours!"
"Baltoy!"
Baltoy answered and floated forward.
"Swellow versus Baltoy! Let the battle begin!"
"I'll make the first move, then~ Swellow!
