On the other hand, all of Leon's remaining members are still uninjured. {{AP|Dragonite}} begins the newest matchup against Leon's {{p|Rillaboom}} by countering its {{m|Drum Beating}} with {{m|Hurricane}}, dealing {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} [[damage]]. Rillaboom responds to this by beating its drum even harder, making the roots block most of the [[move]] and pummel Dragonite down to the ground. Due to Drum Beating's effect, Dragonite also suffers a {{stat|Speed}} drop as it stands back up. Ash follows up with the "{{m|Draco Meteor|Dragonite Meteor}}" strategy that [[JN130|defeated]] {{p|Dragapult}}, but Leon is prepared for it now and has Rillaboom swat all the meteors away with Drum Beating before producing another root to grab Dragonite à la {{m|Vine Whip}} and send it back to the ground once more. Dragonite roars with determination and immediately charges back in with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, which Rillaboom meets with {{m|Acrobatics}}, nimbly moving around the flurry of Dragon Claws before dealing the finishing blow with an open palm thrust, showing off how Leon can handle opponents even while at a [[type]] disadvantage. | ||
The next Pokémon to rejoin the battle on Ash's side is {{AP|Sirfetch'd}}. The two {{stat|Attack|physically}} oriented Pokémon clash with {{m|Meteor Assault}} and {{m|High Horsepower}}, putting raw power against raw power. Ultimately, Sirfetch'd wins the clash of brute force and sends Rillaboom flying back. However, Rillaboom is still not out yet and stands back up while leaning on its drum. With Sirfetch'd [[Recharge|momentarily immobilized]] due to using Meteor Assault, Rillaboom gets a free chance to attack and sends Sirfetch'd flying with High Horsepower before following it up with Drum Beating. Sirfetch'd glides towards Rillaboom by riding on its shield and dodges the roots as it prepares to use {{m|Fury Cutter}}, abandoning its shield when Rillaboom leaps towards it with Acrobatics. Grabbing the discarded shield, Rillaboom disrupts the Fury Cutter before it can make contact by throwing the shield right back at its owner and then slamming Sirfetch'd itself down to the ground. The {{pkmn|category|Wild Duck Pokémon}} struggles to stand back up but ultimately fails to do so. In just two rounds, Leon has turned the tide and completely seized the advantage. | The next Pokémon to rejoin the battle on Ash's side is {{AP|Sirfetch'd}}.
