"It's your turn, Lucario!"
After recalling the defeated Aggron, Rosa decisively sent out her second Pokémon, which was a Lucario.
Pokémon: Lucario
Type: Fighting/Steel
Ability: Inner Focus
Gender: Female
Level: 67
Qualification: Elite
Moves: Quick Attack, Force Palm, Aura Sphere, Close Combat, Swords Dance, Extreme Speed, Metal Claw, Dragon Pulse, High Jump Kick...
"Wow, you're sending out your ace already?" Gary's mouth twitched slightly after seeing the data on Rosa's Lucario.
"I have no choice. My Beautifly is too fragile against you," Rosa replied, spreading her hands.
"Alright." Gary found Rosa's actions a bit hard to accept, but since she was his friend, he decided to go along with it.
"Come back, Tyranitar!" Since Rosa had already sent out her main Pokémon, Gary had no choice but to recall Tyranitar, as the gap in strength was too significant.
"Since you're doing this, don't blame me next time," Gary said, throwing out his next Poké Ball. "Go, Umbreon!"
Facing Rosa's powerful Lucario, Gary decisively sent out Umbreon, which had reached level 71.
Upon seeing Umbreon appear, Rosa's eyes turned slightly resentful as she looked at Gary.
"That's not fair, Gary."
"There's no way around it. Tyranitar's strength is far from your ace," Gary shrugged and continued, "Besides, it's a good thing I was prepared in advance, or I might have been in trouble this time."
"Hehe." Rosa knew she was being a bit cheeky, so she could only smile awkwardly.
"Alright, no more idle talk, let's continue the match!" Gary said, focusing back on the battle.
"Okay," Rosa agreed, changing her previous demeanor and commanding Lucario with a determined expression. "Lucario, use Swords Dance!"
As soon as she spoke, several energy swords floated around Lucario, spinning to boost its stats.
"Then I can't show weakness here. Umbreon, use Calm Mind!" Similarly, Gary chose Umbreon to use Calm Mind to increase its special attack and special defense.
"Next, use Aura Sphere!"
Lucario decisively followed Rosa's command, charging an Aura Sphere and launching it at Umbreon.
"Umbreon, Quick Attack!"
Facing the incoming Aura Sphere, Umbreon immediately turned into a blur, disappearing from its spot and rushing towards Lucario.
Just as it was about to collide with Lucario, Umbreon made a sharp turn, bypassing Lucario and positioning itself behind it.
"Shadow Ball!" Gary immediately commanded Umbreon upon seeing this.
Soon, a purple-black energy ball, the Shadow Ball, quickly formed in Umbreon's mouth and rushed towards Lucario.
"Lucario, use Aura Sphere!"
Seeing the incoming Shadow Ball, Lucario had little room to dodge, so Rosa chose to meet it head-on.
Lucario, wielding Aura Sphere, immediately launched it at the incoming Shadow Ball.
The two moves clashed on the field, but Lucario fought hard, preventing the Shadow Ball from breaking through its defense for a while.
"Umbreon, fire another Shadow Ball!"
As soon as Gary finished speaking, Umbreon, who had been prepared, launched another Shadow Ball.
After Lucario finally dealt with the first Shadow Ball, the second one quickly hit Lucario, who hadn't yet reacted.
Lucario, struck by the Shadow Ball, was knocked back and fell to the ground.
"You sneak attack, that's not fair," Rosa muttered, looking at Gary unhappily.
Gary just laughed and then decisively took the next step. He waved his hand and ordered Umbreon on the field.
"Press the advantage, Umbreon, use Dark Pulse!"
Countless purple-black energies gathered in Umbreon's mouth at a rapid pace, finally rushing towards Lucario in the form of a beam of light.
"Lucario, use Hyper Beam!"
At this time, Lucario, who had just stood up, hurriedly used Hyper Beam to counterattack under Rosa's instructions.
However, the hastily used move, coupled with the gap in strength, meant that Hyper Beam only lasted for a short while before being overwhelmed by Dark Pulse, which then hit Lucario with its remaining force.
Lucario was blown away by the Dark Pulse on the spot and finally fell to the ground.
"Lucario has lost its ability to fight, and Umbreon wins!"
After the referee checked Lucario's condition, he announced the result.
"Come back, Lucario." Rosa saw this and had to recall Lucario after comforting it.
"It's up to you now, Gigalith!" After recalling Lucario, Rosa quickly sent out her third Pokémon, Gigalith.
Pokémon: Gigalith
Type: Rock
Ability: Sturdy
Gender: Male
Level: 67
Qualification: Elite
Moves: Iron Defense, Rock Blast, Stone Edge, Sandstorm, Earth Power, Bulldoze, Heavy Slam...
"Umbreon, continue the fight." After reviewing Gigalith's data, Gary decided not to switch Pokémon and continued with Umbreon.
"Since Gary isn't switching Pokémon, I'll make the first move!" Seeing that Gary wasn't replacing Umbreon, Rosa took the initiative and gave an order to Gigalith.
"Let's whip up a Sandstorm!"
As soon as Rosa finished speaking, a gust of sand appeared on the field, and the raging sandstorm immediately enveloped the entire area.
"Now let's see what you can do," Rosa said triumphantly, looking at Gary.
"You're really something, Rosa." Gary noticed the proud look in Rosa's eyes, shook his head, and continued, "This trick won't stop me and Umbreon!"
"Umbreon, use Rain Dance!"
Soon, a blue energy ball exploded in the air, and a dark cloud appeared above the field, causing a light rain to fall instantly.
The sandstorm, affected by the rain, was soon dampened and fell to the ground. After a while, the sandstorm on the field disappeared without a trace.
As for Gigalith's location, it soon became visible to everyone.
"Wow!" Rosa was a bit taken aback by this turn of events.
"I've got you now," Gary said with a smile, looking at Rosa's Gigalith.
"Umbreon, use..."
