Shiranui took his place after concocting a strategy and after being reminded that the battle was a three-Pokémon single battle, he sent Okami out while Hala sent his Mankey out. "That was a bold opening, Shiranui," Hala stated, "Sending out a Pokémon with a type disadvantage."
"I'll show you why with this opening move," Shiranui rebutted, "Okami, show Mankey the move we worked on! Use Zen Headbutt!"
"Mankey, Karate Chop!" Both Pokémon charged at each other. Okami focused her willpower to her head, causing it to glow with iridescence while Mankey readied a paw for a chop. Both attacks landed, stirring up a cloud of dust. The dust settled and both Pokémon were knocked out, in Okami's case from a critical hit.
"I'm impressed with that one, but the trial is not over yet," commented Hala, "Makuhita, you're up!"
"Okami, return; Ikari, I choose you!" Shiranui switched out his downed Rockruff and sent his Bagon out while Hala switched Mankey for Makuhita.
"Makuhita, Fake Out!"
"Ikari, Rage!" Makuhita delivered a hit that made Ikari flinch.
"Makuhita, Arm Thrust!"
"Ikari, Headbutt!" Ikari charged in with her head lowered and delivered a powerful hit that left Makuhita briefly winded. Makuhita retaliated with a flurry of arm thrusts that scored three hits on Ikari.
"Makuhita, Heavy Slam!"
"Ikari, Dragon Claw!" Ikari delivered a slash with her stubby arm and Makuhita was down for the count.
Hala switched out Makuhita and sent Crabrawler out. Shiranui knew the real battle had started as he switched Ikari for Ashika. Hala performed a sumo stomp before doing an imitation of the Arm Thrust move. "All Out Pummelling!"
"Ashika, use Perish Song!" Crabrawler conjured an orb of energy that surrounded one of its fist-like claws and struck Ashika with the powerful move. The Brionne survived the move and her Torrent ability activated. Ashika sung a haunting requiem that set the clock ticking.
"Crabrawler, Power-Up Punch!"
"Ashika, use Growl!" Crabrawler punched Ashika and the Brionne fainted from the hit.
Shiranui sent Ikari back out. "Crabrawler, use Power-Up Punch!"
"Ikari, Ember!" Crabrawler charged at Ikari and right before the hit landed, Ikari dodged the attack. The Bagon launched a shower of embers that singed Crabrawler for minor damage.
"Crabrawler, Power-Up Punch and make it count!"
"Ikari, Dragon Breath!" Crabrawler threw a punch at Ikari and scored a good hit that left Ikari prone. Ikari struggled to get up and when she finally did, the Bagon launched a gust of draconic energy that barely missed Crabrawler. Crabrawler was stricken with a crimson glow as Perish Song took effect and not long afterwards, fell on its front knocked out.
Hala handed Shiranui a Fightinium Z and congratulated him on his victory.
