The second battle between the two began.
In this battle, Heracross attacked first. It used several moves to hit Magmar in succession, then used its tremendous strength to knock Magmar into the air, gaining a slight advantage at the start of the battle.
But Magmar used a move that was a real eye-opener. High in the air, it first unleashed Fire Blast, then plunged its own body into the flames, hurtling down at Heracross like a blazing fireball!
Heracross was struck by Magmar and kept sliding backward, only stopping when it hit a huge rock. And that was not all. At Gary's command, Magmar hit Heracross with a point-blank Flamethrower.
Heracross was instantly engulfed in fire, with only its faint silhouette visible amid the flames!
Just as everyone thought Heracross would lose the match like this, it suddenly beat its wings, whipping up a powerful gust that instantly blew out the flames on its body!

After extinguishing the flames, Heracross seemed to sound the call for a counterattack. Using Megahorn, an immensely powerful Bug-type move, it charged through Magmar's Flamethrower, slammed into Magmar, and knocked it out.
"He really does deserve to be called a Trainer who fights against type disadvantages..."

To turn things around even like that really is admirable!"
Noticing a hint of envy in Xia You's voice, Erika smiled. "Some things can't be learned. That's entirely his talent."
On the screen, with the score tied at one to one, Ash and Gary's
