After recalling Forretress, Brock sent out Onix once again, while Leo released his third Pokémon, Starmie. Like before, Starmie held a significant type advantage over Onix. However, it suffered damage from Stealth Rock and the ongoing Sandstorm. This time, Leo exercised more caution. Instead of attacking immediately, he had Starmie use Rain Dance to change the battlefield conditions.

The environment shifted from a raging sandstorm to a gentle drizzle. Onix, which had been thriving in the sandstorm, lost its biggest advantage. Brock, unwilling to give up control of the battle, immediately commanded Onix to attack Starmie with Rock Slide. The sharp rocks hurtled toward Starmie, but Leo quickly had it defend. When the rocks struck, they were deflected by a mysterious force, shattering harmlessly.

Ethan, watching from the stands, couldn't contain his excitement. The back-and-forth between offense and defense was exhilarating. However, the most thrilling moments were yet to come.

Although Starmie successfully blocked the attack, Leo didn't stop there. Immediately after defending, he commanded Starmie to use Confuse Ray. The eerie light struck Onix, throwing it into a state of confusion.

With Onix now a liability, Brock decided to recall it once again. This time, however, the situation was vastly different from before. Satisfied with Leo's tactical moves, Brock sent out his third Pokémon—Aerodactyl.

As Aerodactyl entered the battlefield, it let out a powerful roar, exuding an oppressive aura. Even Ethan, sitting in the stands, could feel its overwhelming presence. For Leo and Starmie on the battlefield, the pressure was palpable. Despite this, Leo immediately ordered Starmie to attack Aerodactyl with Hydro Pump. However, Brock was prepared. Aerodactyl began spinning rapidly in the air, dodging the Hydro Pump with ease. The spinning Aerodactyl circled closer to Starmie, resembling a predator closing in on its prey.

With a sudden swoop, Aerodactyl descended from the sky, its fangs crackling with electricity. It struck Starmie with Thunder Fang, instantly knocking it out. The sequence of Aerodactyl's movements was seamless, leaving Starmie no time to react. Leo had not anticipated Aerodactyl possessing such a devastating move.

Now down three Pokémon, Leo had briefly shifted the battle's momentum earlier but couldn't sustain it. The rhythm of the match swung back in Brock's favor, leaving Leo in a tough spot. To regain control, Leo sent out his fourth Pokémon—Blastoise, his strongest team member.

The effects of Starmie's Rain Dance still lingered, with the battlefield covered in light rain. Blastoise seemed energized by the weather, standing tall despite taking damage from Stealth Rock upon entering. Brock, noticing that Blastoise was also a Water type, decided to press his advantage. Aerodactyl lunged toward Blastoise with Thunder Fang. Just as Aerodactyl's fangs were about to connect, Leo ordered Blastoise to counter with Ice Punch.

The Ice Punch landed squarely on Aerodactyl's wings, freezing them solid and causing Aerodactyl to crash to the ground. However, the Thunder Fang also struck Blastoise, leaving it paralyzed. Both Pokémon were significantly weakened—Aerodactyl could no longer fly, and Blastoise's movement was severely impaired.

Realizing the opportunity presented by Aerodactyl's grounded state, Leo instructed Blastoise to fire a Hydro Pump. But the paralysis slowed Blastoise, and before the attack could connect, Brock recalled Aerodactyl.

Brock's precise timing for recalling Pokémon continued to frustrate Leo. Despite the challenger's annoyance, the rules allowed both participants to switch Pokémon freely during the match. Brock then sent out Onix for its third appearance. The confusion inflicted by Starmie had long since worn off, and Onix was ready to fight again.

Brock ordered Onix to use Dig, a common Ground-type move. This seemed like an effective strategy against the paralyzed Blastoise, whose sluggish movements made it an easy target. However, Brock soon realized his mistake. Leo had been anticipating this move. As Onix burrowed underground, Leo commanded Blastoise to use Earthquake. The ground-shaking attack struck Onix as it tunneled, knocking it out instantly.

Onix, which had fought valiantly three times, was finally defeated.

The power of Earthquake surprised everyone. Even Brock, taken aback, praised Leo. "Challenger Leo, you've truly impressed me! It's rare to see a Blastoise that knows Earthquake. What an outstanding performance! But I won't give up just yet. Let me show you my fourth Pokémon!"

Brock then released his fourth Pokémon, Rhydon. As Rhydon stepped onto the field, it exuded an imposing presence, shaking the ground with its sheer weight. Without hesitation, Brock commanded Rhydon to use Rock Blast. The rocks scattered across the battlefield rose into the air, forming a massive cannon that fired directly at Blastoise.

Blastoise, paralyzed and unable to dodge, faced a critical moment. How would Leo respond to this overwhelming attack?
