Climbing the tower, Friede tells Liko and Roy to wait for him halfway through while he goes to the top to call [[Murdock]] to pick them up. However, his phonecall is interrupted by Amethio appearing on his {{p|Corviknight}} and attacking him with {{m|Hurricane}}. To make his way to a more favorable battleground, Friede jumps off the tower and calls out his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} mid-fall, landing on the roof below. Witnessing the stunt, Liko and Roy realize Friede went ahead to use himself as a decoy to keep them safe. Amethio lands on the same rooftop, sending out {{p|Ceruledge}} and recalling Corviknight to make the match one-on-one. Not wanting to trigger Ceruledge's {{a|Weak Armor}}, Friede chooses to keep his distance and attacks with {{m|Air Slash}} and {{m|Flamethrower}}. During the battle, one of Ceruledge's {{m|Psycho Cut}}s strikes the tower, causing rubble to start falling towards Charizard. Friede tells Charizard to use {{m|Dragon Claw}} on the rubble, but Amethio has Ceruledge use {{m|Phantom Force}}, having it dive out of the shadow of one of the pieces of rubble and take the hit from the Dragon Claw before Friede can react, triggering Weak Armor and increasing Ceruledge's {{stat|Speed}}. With this advantage, Ceruledge is able to land multiple {{m|Night Slash}}es on Charizard, sending it crashing down to the roof. Meanwhile, Diana packs up some books and an ancient belts before preparing to leave, only to be confronted by Hamber and his {{p|Dusknoir}}.

Despite taking a lot of [[damage]], Charizard is still able to get back up. However, Ceruledge still has the advantage in speed, allowing it to easily dodge Charizard's Flamethrower and hit back with Night Slash. Amethio aims for the finishing blow and tells Ceruledge to start charging for a powered-up Psycho Cut. Just then, though, Friede finally decides to stop holding back and whips out his [[Tera Orb]], [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizing]] his Charizard into a {{t|Dark}} type, rendering Psycho Cut ineffective and allowing Charizard to use a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} {{m|Tera Blast}}, finally defeating Ceruledge. Liko and Roy are in awe at what they just witnessed, but their moment of awe is cut short when Zirc suddenly appears on the staircase behind them. Urged by Roy, he and Liko climb down a ladder to escape, but on the ground level, they're confronted by Onia, and Zirc flies up behind them on his {{p|Skarmory}}, surrounding the two children. With no other choice, Liko and Roy start battling the two. [[Liko's Sprigatito]] makes short work of Onia's {{p|Golduck}} with super effective attacks, prompting Zirc to switch targets and have Rhydon attack Sprigatito. However, Rhydon's {{m|Megahorn}} is disrupted by a super effective {{m|Stomping Tantrum}} from {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}. Before the battle can continue, a loud noise is heard, and Zirc notices a couple [[wild Pokémon]] being affected by {{m|Salt Cure}}, indicating the presence of Onyx and his {{p|Garganacl}}. With Hamber and Diana, Diana questions why the Explorers would be targeting them, given that they were, in fact, [[Lucius]]'s friends. Hamber refuses to explain, but nearby commotion provides Diana with the distraction to escape. Before Hamber can do anything else, he's contacted by [[Gibeon]]. Inside the castle, Onyx continues to defeat any Pokémon that gets in his way.

Liko and Roy are in awe at what they just witnessed, but their moment of awe is cut short when Zirc suddenly appears on the staircase behind them. Roy goes to climb down the ladder on the side of the tower to escape. Liko is nervous at climbing down at such a height, but once again, [[Liko's Sprigatito|Sprigatito]] is there to urge her on and be brave. Liko climbs down the ladder slowly, still nervous from the height. She meets Roy at ground level, breathing heavily with relief. However, they're confronted by Onia, and Zirc flies up behind them on his {{p|Skarmory}}, surrounding the two children. With no other choice, Liko and Roy start battling the two.

On the rooftop, a cold wind blows by, which annoys Amethio as he recognizes as it as a sign of Sango's presence. Unexpectedly, the damaged tower starts falling down on them, forcing Friede and Amethio to take flight to avoid being crushed by it. On the courtyard, Zirc and Onia decide to abandon the confrontation and retreat to avoid getting caught in the crossfire, flying away with their Skarmory moments before Liko and Roy are surrounded by Sango and Onyx. Suddenly, [[Captain Pikachu]] dives down from the sky and strikes Sango's {{p|Glalie}} with {{m|Thunder Punch}}, the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] having arrived on the scene with the [[Brave Asagi]]. Murdock sends down [[Orla]]'s {{p|Metagross}} to pick up Liko and Roy while Cap stays behind to confront the two admins. Sango has Glalie use {{m|Blizzard}}, but Cap dodges it, forcing Garganacl to defend itself with {{m|Wide Guard}}. Onyx next commands Garganacl to use Salt Cure, but Cap avoids this attack as well and strikes back with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, which sends Garganacl flying back. Sango starts growing annoyed and, ignoring Onyx's objections, recklessly orders Glalie to use {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The violent explosion rocks the courtyard, but Cap manages to escape from it with Friede and Charizard, while Glalie and Garganacl are defeated. At the same time, Diana emerges from the smoke while riding her Arcanine. The {{pkmn|category|Legendary Pokémon}} performs a mighty leap and lands straight on Brave Asagi's wing deck, much to everyone's amazement.
