"Flygon is unable to battle! Honchkrow wins!"
As the referee's announcement rang out, the sixth round came to an end. With Honchkrow's unexpected Quash, Elite Four member Sidney had successfully defeated Yong's Flygon!
Yet everyone understood that, at this point, Sidney had all but lost...
4-2!
After Sidney sent out his strongest Pokémon, the atmosphere of the entire battle grew tense.
The current situation put Sidney under enormous pressure-he had to defeat Yong's four remaining Pokémon to pull off a comeback.
But would Yong give him that chance?
In the Lounge, Drake, Glacia, and Miss Pheobe were watching the images on the big screen intently. Just then, the old captain, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly turned his head and looked at Miss Pheobe.
"Sidney has already lost."
His voice was low and firm, as though he had foreseen this outcome long ago.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Drake's face.
"Pheobe, you're up next. Go get ready for this afternoon's match."
Hearing this, Glacia, who sat beside him, chuckled softly as well.
An unreadable glimmer flickered in her eyes as she reminded Pheobe gently,
"Remember, that little fellow hasn't sent out his main Pokémon yet. So, Pheobe, you absolutely cannot let your guard down in this match..."
Miss Pheobe nodded. She stood, smiled and nodded to her two seniors, then turned her gaze toward the boy on the screen.
"Don't worry..."
Miss Pheobe took a deep breath and said firmly,
"I'll give this challenge everything I've got!"
With that, she turned and left the Lounge to make her final preparations for the afternoon's match.
Watching Miss Pheobe leave, Glacia smiled elegantly.
