Pangoro slammed a Sky Uppercut into Hariyama's chin, lifting its massive body clean off the ground and sending it into the air.
"Hariyama!!"
Brawly blanched and cried out, but however anxious he was, there was nothing he could do now. He could only watch as Hariyama's eyes rolled upward before it toppled backward and crashed to the ground with a thud!
The entire Gym fell silent. The Gym girls all stared wide-eyed at Hariyama lying motionless on the ground, unable to believe that Brawly's ace Pokémon had actually lost!
"This..."
The two Pokémon had fought for so long, evenly matched at one point, both inflicting heavy damage on the other and looking equally battered. Yet in the end, Pangoro had still emerged victorious.

Hariyama was his ace Pokémon, yet even it had been no match for Bea's Pangoro!
He truly could not understand why this woman's Pokémon was so strong that it could defeat two of his Pokémon in a row!
