Pokémon Galar

My thoughts exactly.

Shiranui saw Liam's Goodra approach and called his own Goodra, Numeru, out to watch Liam's battle with her mate.

"The Life Orb is a powerful item, when used right," Shiranui mused as he watched Decidueye attempt to sew Beckham's shadow to the field and prevent a switch-out, "To use it effectively, a Pokémon needs to know how to recover well or hit hard and fast."

Shiranui had been watching and having looked the two Pokémon up, he found they were evenly matched stat-wise and move-wise. He did find one move that could give Beckham an edge. "I hope Liam taught Beckham that move," he mused.

Shiranui estimated that Sawsbuck's level was close to being at parity with Drakloak's. "Drakloak is a bit of a glass cannon," he mused, "They'll need to hit hard and fast."

"This is going to hurt," Shiranui commented to himself.

Shiranui stood by to watch the battle. He figured all four of the Shinobi no Shiki had a different form of Sawsbuck as their headliner and with the Dragapult Pokémorph likely being part of Aki's team, he deduced that Liam could be facing a Ghost type team.

Shiranui figured it would take a while for Kalaama Kirara to be forgiven for her treatment of Dragapult, but after seeing the two Pokémorphs shake hands he knew it would be a matter of when. He also figured that Dragapult still had some lingering fear of Saisei and he couldn't blame her—the Mewtwo's presence was very frightening in the time prior to their capture thanks to his Gardevoir being unable to use her psychic abilities for a while after her battle at the Viridian Gym.

"Then you should apologise to Dragapult and try to make amends," Saisei suggested, "That will go for Zerina and Hibiki the next time I see them. Those poachers have treated the three of you like golden children and that corrupted your minds. I sensed fear from Dragapult so I should get back in my ball for now. Master, if you please."
"Alright," Shiranui acknowledged, recalling the Mewtwo.

Saisei closed their eyes in contemplation. "This explains Dragapult's dislike for Kalaama Kirara and vice versa," they stated as they turned to the cowering Pyroar, "And yet I sense guilt, remorse and regret from Kalaama Kirara. My child, does Aki speak the truth?"
