In the "Enemy Camp"

The battle between Hills and Kukui was incredibly visually striking.

Although there was a high probability that neither had sent out their strongest Pokemon.

It did not diminish the excitement of the battle in the slightest.

The two had completely different styles.

As a Fighting Type specialist, Kukui was incredibly passionate and loved seizing the right moment to launch an all-out assault.

Despite her carefree appearance, her thoughts during battle were exceptionally meticulous.

Even the tiniest opening could be spotted by her and relayed to her battling partner.

During the first match, Machamp had once gained the upper hand on the field and ultimately claimed victory.

Hills, who pursued and believed in elegance, was a Trainer who leaned more toward tactical command.

He possessed the sharp insight and tactical ability to anticipate his opponent's next move, as well as the flexibility to adapt on the fly.

His team had no particular type bias and was broadly balanced.

It could be said.

The styles of these two Trainers represented the vast majority of Trainers in the world today.

Just like Ash and Gary when they had first set out.

Only, compared to rookie Trainers, Kukui and Hills were far stronger, and their styles were much more refined.

Swampert raised both hands and slammed them hard against the ground. Dirt instantly turned into sharp arrows that shot into the air, surging toward its opponent in a dense barrage without the slightest gap.

Kukui's Medicham, meanwhile, wore a solemn expression as it slowly pressed its hands together before its chest.

"Medicham!"

Color burst brilliantly from its eyes,
