Heeeeeere goes! Horixon chooses to lead again with Benedict the Togepi. Cyberghost decides to let Alexander the Pawniard deal with her. Feeling that she will probably try some sneaky tactics, Alexander challenges her in a brutal fight, telling her that she's nothing without her tricks! The Togepi decides to give him what he wants: she breathes fire at the Pawniard, making its steel skin melting! However, Alexander retaliates with sturdy claws, slashing the little egg! Hurt a bit, she uses her powers to lift boulders and throw them at Alexander, but the damage dealt looks mediocre as the Pawniard doesn't even react when the boulders hit him. He uses its claws again to slash the Togepi - but this time at a good distance, with psychic powers. Benedict uses again her Flamethrower for good effects, and takes the lead of the battle!

Feeling that he's in a tight spot, Alexander this time torments his foe, telling her to "try some new moves god damn it". And it works, Benedict refuses to use Flamethrower! The Pawniard uses this opportunity to strike with his Metal Claw! But the Togepi retaliates by emitting an intense light, hurting Alexander's eyes! The later uses again Metal Claws as it is his best way to damage Benedict, which refuses again to listen to her trainer, resulting in a little Struggle.
This smart Torment from Cyberghost enabled him to even the battle now! But the outcome is still unsure as Benedict can now fire again with her flames and Alexander still got a couple tricks up his sleeves.

Alexander returns in his Pokéball to let his place to Diane the Larvitar, and the battle resumes. Benedicts erects a shield to test her opponent. But Diane simply hardens her skin. But right when Benedict drops her shield, the Larvitar gives the Togepi a powerful headbutt with her hardened skin! What we thought to be a defensive action from Diane earlier was also a preparation for her attack! Benedict got stunned by the blow, and when she gets back to her senses, she puts up another Protect, letting Diane harden her skin once again.

IF Diane decides to use Iron Head THEN Yawn and Push Back instead [Once]
IF however, Diane uses a Iron Head Combo and you are not sluggish THEN Protect and Push Back [Once]

Benedict begins to wave her arms to call a random move. But Diane taunts her, daring her to fight without relying on luck! The Togepi stops his Metronome: she felt for the Taunt! Diane doesn't let her foe retaliate immediatly though as she picks up boulders and throw them at Benedict! The Togepi is hurt, and can barely stand up, but she uses a powerful Dazzling Gleam, bliding Diane's eyes for a second! But that won't be enough to stop the Larvitar: she stomps on the ground, creating powerful seismic waves! Benedict trips! And she's too tired to continue the battle! IT'S A KNOCK OUT !!!!! Cyberghost takes the lead of this battle!
