Whoosh!
Two figures streaked through the air.
With a bang, Venomoth and Dragonair collided in midair, then crossed past each other and separated again a moment later.
After fighting fiercely for so long, both Pokémon had suffered injuries of varying severity, and both were now in a precarious state!
In the Trainer command areas on either side, Xia You's and Aya's hearts rose into their throats.
Victory or defeat now hung on a single decision. Both sides had a chance to win; it all depended on who could seize an opening and defeat their opponent in one stroke!

Or would Aya win and drag the match into another round?!
