Shiranui was up next. "This battle will be a 4-on-4 single battle with no time limit," the referee stated, "Only the challenger can switch Pokémon. Begin!" Opal opened with her Galarian Weezing and Shiranui responded with his Meowstic.
"Use Fairy Wind!"
"Nekomata, Psychic!" The speedy Meowstic unfolded her ears and a devastatingly strong Psychic issued forth, dealing heavy damage to Opal's Galarian Weezing. Weezing spewed gasses charged with fairy energy and Nekomata copped the hit.
"I have a question for you, ninja boy;" Opal stated, "By what name did they call me? Was it: A) The Wizard B) The Magic User or C) Magical Girl?"
"Liam tried 'Magical Girl' and was wrong and 'Magic User' doesn't seem to have the oomph," Shiranui mused, before answering, "To hazard a guess, they called you The Wizard?" A chime rang over the stadium indicating Shiranui got Opal's question right. He now knew what it was like when he pop quizzed other trainers when they made rookie mistakes.
"Congratulations, you are correct," Opal replied, "Weezing, Tackle!"
"Nekomata, finish Weezing off with Psyshock!" Nekomata felt a power boost and channelled it into a lance that she hurled at the charging Weezing. Weezing got struck and was soundly defeated.
"Weezing is unable to battle," the referee called, "Nekomata the Meowstic is the winner!"
Opal switched her Galarian Weezing for her Mawile and Shiranui switched out Nekomata for his Drilbur, Mogura. "My next question: what is my favourite colour?" Opal asked, "A) Pink B) Purple or C) Grey?"
"A lady like you, I believe, would favour the colour of royalty: purple," Shiranui answered, earning another chime from the stadium and a power boost for Mogura that resulted in the Drilbur glowing with a bright white light. Shiranui and the crowd was excited at seeing an evolution taking place as Mogura doubled her height. The glow subsided to reveal a Pokémon that was familiar to Shiranui having battled one belonging to Iris: Excadrill.
"Mawile, Iron Defense!"
"Mogura, open with Stealth Rock!" Mogura put her speed to work and set a trap of levitating stones on Opal's side of the battlefield while Mawile sharply boosted its Defence.
"Mawile, Crunch!"
"Mogura, Earthquake!" The Excadrill stomped the ground, sending a powerful tremor at Mawile and after copping the hit, Mawile charged at Mogura and clamped down on the Excadrill's head.
"Keep it up, Mawile!"
"Mogura, use High Horsepower!" With an orange glow, Mogura grabbed Mawile and slammed it on to the ground like a pro wrestler. Mawile clamped down on Mogura a second time.
"Mawile, Draining Kiss!"
"Mogura, finish it off with Drill Run!" The Excadrill brought her claws to her head and launched at Mawile like a spinning missile. Mawile got hit and was down for the count.
"Mawile is unable to battle," the referee called, "Mogura the Excadrill is the winner."
Opal switched her Mawile for her Togekiss and Shiranui switched out Mogura for his Salazzle, Nayamashii, who was currently asleep. "My final question!" Opal called, "How old am I? A) 16, B) 80 c) 24?"
"With all due respect, I decline to answer," Shiranui commented, knowing it was rude to imply a lady's age.
"Such politeness," Opal commented, thinking about adding a no answer choice to her question, "Togekiss, Air Slash!"
"Nayamashii, let it rip!" The sleeping Salazzle ate a Chesto Berry and let loose with a devastating Belch attack. Putrid purple rings issued forth from Nayamashii's mouth along with her loud burp and caught Togekiss by surprise. Togekiss crash landed on the battlefield, knocked out in one hit.
"Togekiss is unable to battle," the referee called, "Nayamashii the Salazzle is the winner."
"My morning tea is finally kicking in, and not a moment too soon!" said Opal after recalling her downed Togekiss. She sent out her Alcremie and Shiranui switched Nayamashii out for his Scolipede, Mukade. "Are you prepared? I'm going to have some fun with this," Opal continued, Gigantamaxing her Alcremie.
"Oh, I'm ready for anything you throw at me," Shiranui rebutted, Dynamaxing his Scolipede.
"You lack pink! Here, let us give you some," Opal taunted, calling for G-Max Finale.
"Mukade, use Max Ooze!" The enlarged Scolipede sent a wave of poisonous sludge and inundated Alcremie for a lot of damage. Alcremie conjured some large gobs of cream and rained them down on Mukade.
"Alcremie, use another G-Max Finale!"
"Mukade, use Max Steelspike!" The Scolipede stomped her front legs on the ground and sent a wave of steel spikes at Alcremie, impaling the gigantic cake and causing it to revert to its normal form.
"Alcremie is unable to battle," the referee called, "The winner of this match is Shiranui Tsukiko!"
"Your pink may still be lacking, but you're an excellent Trainer with some excellent Pokémon," Opal praised as she shook Shiranui's hand, and gave him the Fairy Badge.
"Thank you, Opal," Shiranui replied, "You'll find your successor sooner or later."
