Paul, your Elekid is incredibly strong, but I believe my Pokémon defeat it without much trouble…"

  way said this deliberately, hoping to provoke Paul into tinuing to use his fully trained Elekid in their battle.

  However, before he could even finish speaking, Paul pulled out a Poké Ball and recalled Elekid.

  "What? Not using Elekid anymore?" way was stunned.

  This wasn't what he had expected. Normally, trainers would be eager to prove themselves after hearing such a taunt and would keep using their Pokémon to win.

  "You've done your job. Take a rest." Paul said to Elekid's Poké Ball. He then pulled out another Poké Ball and threw it.

  "Ursaring, prepare for battle!"

  "Ursa!"

  As soon as Ursaring appeared, it roared loudly, spreading its intimidating aura across the battlefield. Its massive body delivered a strong visual impact to all the spectators, and its fierce, eager eyes locked onto way.

  "hat a huge Ursaring… How is this even possible?"

  Seeing the menag Ursaring, way instinctively took a step back, his eyes wide with shock.

  "Holy… Wow!""Look at that Ursaring!""Its presence alone could scare off most Pokémon!"

  From the audience came a wave of astonished excmations as soon as they saw Ursaring.

  "Paul has sed out his Elekid for an enormous Ursaring, which already looks incredibly strong. How will way respond?" The announcer's voice echoed through the stadium, heightening the anticipation of the crowd.

  "It's fi's fine. Ursaring is a Normal-type Pokémon, and its usual moves are Normal and Fighting-type…" way muttered to himself, adjusting his gsses as a fident smirk crept onto his face. "Those two types 't harm a Ghost-type Pokémon."

  He finally selected a Poké Ball and tossed it onto the field."Dusclops, it's your time to shine!"

  With a gust of chilling wind, a ghostly figure ed in gray bandages floated into the arena. Dusclops exuded an air of lifelessness as it stared down Paul and his Ursaring.

  "Let the match begin! The challenger will attack first." The referee decred.

  "Ursaring is strong, but it's not particurly fast. However, Dusclops is even slower…" way smirked, pushing up his gsses again."Dusclops, use Tri!"

  Dusclops' eyes glowed with a purple light, and a mysterious energy enveloped the battlefield. In this altered space, faster Pokémon found their speed reduced, while slower ones gaihe upper hand.

  "Bulk Up!" Paul said calmly, unfazed by the turn of events.

  "Ursa!"

  Ursaring immediately tes muscles, boosting its Attad Defeats.

  "Don't give it a ce! Use Ice Beam!" way ordered.

  Dusclops raised its ghostly hands, unleashing a chilling Ice Beam that struck Ursaring directly. Despite the blow, Ursaring withstood the attad successfully pleted its Bulk Up, increasing its strength further.

  "Fire Punch!" Paul anded.

  Ursaring's fist ignited in fmes as it charged at Dusclops, enduring the Ice Beam with brute force.

  "Double Team!"Dusclops' body shimmered, splitting into dozens of es that surrounded Ursaring.

  Ursaring's Fire Punch strue of the illusions, which vanished upon tact.

  "Focus Punch!"The real Dusclops began charging its energy, its massive hands glowing as it prepared a devastating attack.

  Although Ursaring tried to identify the real Dusclops, it couldn't break through all the illusions with a siarget moves.

  "It's no use! Unless you have a wide-raack, you'll never find the real Dusclops!" way excimed smugly, his gsses refleg the light.

  However, he failed to notice the faint smirk on Paul's lips."Fht!" Paul said.

  Ursaring's eyes gleamed with a white light, dispelling all the illusions and revealing the real Dusclops, which had just finished charging its Focus Punch.

  "What?! It knows Fht?" way was taken aback but quickly reassured himself."It doesn't matter, Ursaring won't have time to attack before Dusclops nds its Focus Punch!"

  The arena filled with tension as Dusclops unleashed its fully charged Focus Punding a critical blow on Ursaring.

  The attack was super effective! Even with its Bulk Up boosts, Ursaring grunted in pain but stood firm, its body now glowing faintly with a white aura.

  "ter!" Paul ordered.

  With a feral grin, Ursarialiated its cws sshing upward and striking Dusclops with immense force. The Ghost-type Pokémon was sent flying, nding heavily on the ground, where it fainted instantly.

  "ter?!" way's jaw dropped in disbelief."Why did I use Focus Punch? If I'd chosen any other move, I might have won…" He muttered, frustrated with himself.

  The Focus Punch's massive damage was doubled by Ursaring's ter, delivering a devastating blow. Even without Bulk Up, Ursaring would have struggled to withstand such a hit.

  way recalled Dusclops with a sigh, vowing to gather more data before his battle. After giving Paul a lingering gnce, he left the field.

  Paul's Ursari on to defeat multiple oppos including a Toxicroak, achieving an impressive 10-win streak. However, after pushing through 14 battles, it finally succumbed to the poison inflicted during its st match.
