Xiao Wu ultimately won the final match, and in the battle that followed between Kaka and Electrike, Kaka also claimed victory without any doubt.
Unlike Xiao Wu, Kaka had no restriction preventing him from attacking first. In terms of basic combat ability, Kaka completely outclassed Electrike, leaving Electrike unable to fight back.
Once all that was over, Chen Huan carried his Politoed out of the underground area to resign. He also wanted to study his Politoed.
Chu Xin looked at the Politoed in Chen Huan's arms with undisguised envy. Chen Huan's Politoed was an excellent captain for a rain team.
