If seeing one Altered type almost gave everyone a heart attack, then seeing two Altered types gave everyone more shock. It was a normal reaction, but Satoshi wasn't expecting it at all.
Gio, who already brought his Icewater Crab to the semifinals, knew that Satoshi's Alpha Red Salamander wouldn't stand a fighting chance against it. But as it turned out, Satoshi actually had another familiar, another Altered Type that belonged in the family of Blue Lightning, an electric type variant that produces blue lightning which is twice more powerful than normal electric types.
It was Satoshi's White Lion, and he summoned it without a second thought, fully knowing that it could win. This was Satoshi's way of intimidating his fellow beast tamer since he wanted to challenge him. There was no way he could back down after everything that Gio said.
"You can change your beast anytime you want. I won't change mine." Satoshi declared.
