With Victreebel's defeat, the entire Quartz Stadium erupted.
"Contestant Lin Guang's Scyther actually defeated contestant Kaguya's Victreebel with a move he created himself! Today's very first round was already this exciting! Just what we'd expect from a match between this tournament's top seed, Lin Guang, and its fourth seed!"
"Now, does contestant Kaguya have a way to counter contestant Lin Guang's Scyther's original moves?"

Arcanine aimed a Fire Blast straight at one of the Scyther without even looking at the others.
An explosion boomed!
All of Scyther's illusory doubles vanished, and Scyther retreated to his own half of the field with only minor
