Charizard and Entei were locked in combat.
Just a few dozen seconds later, Xia You and a panting May arrived as well.

"With just Charizard?"
"Of course." Xia You chuckled. "My Charizard finished its training at max level, so naturally, its first battle had to be against an evenly matched opponent. And this Entei is clearly just right!"

"Don't worry." Xia You took the X stone he had received from Kiko and a Mega Ring already fitted with the Meteorite Key Stone out of his backpack, holding both in his hands. He turned to her with a smile. "Its stamina might not have recovered, but as long as we make it stronger, that won't be
