All of the moves met center stage with a huge kaboom. Jessie and Cassidy were yanking on each other's hair screaming, while James and Butch had each other by the collar, each of them blaming the other and their team for this being foiled.
"Looks like Team Rocket's Blasting off again!" the four Rockets and Meowth cried as they soared off into the distince.
 "Wobbafett!" The Patient Pokémon cried after Rockets. There was a huge crater in the arena floor. Goodra and Metagross game and stood next to their trainers as the arena was switched out. The two went back out. The offical ruled that due to the interference, each Pokémon would be allowed a Super Potion to off set the attack. He handed one to each of the trainers who used them on their Pokémon.
 "Now, Battle, resume!" The official called.
 "Iron Head!" Steven called.
 "Dragon Pulse!" Liam replied. Metagross charged right into the move.
 "Psychic!" Metagross called.
 "Flamethrower!" The jet of fire was turned back on Goodra. Goodra evaded the blast.
 "Dragon Pulse!" The attack hit Metagross, who retaliated with Meteor Mash. Both Pokémon were tired. 
 "Draco Meteor!" Liam called.
 "Protect!" Steven replied. The green shield absorbed the raining meteors. While it was unlikely to pull it off again, Liam called for another Draco Meteor. This time it hit and KO'd Metagross.

"Metagross is unable to battle, the victor and new Hoenn Champion is 'Dragon Master' Liam Coleman from Blackthorn City, Johto!" The official called. Liam's image was on the jumbotron with "Hoenn Leauge Champion" Below it in gold letters. Confetti rained down on the stage as Goodra hugged Liam. The crowd's cheering was almost deafening.
