"What happened to Magcargo?"
Looking at the black fog, Moore's Magcargo didn't move at all, which made Rosa, who was watching the match, immediately nervous, as this was related to Gary's victory.
After a breeze blew, the black smoke that originally filled the field was also blown away, and the situation inside the black smoke slowly appeared in front of everyone.
At this time, Gary's Electabuzz was on high alert, constantly looking around, fearing that Moore's Magcargo would suddenly attack it.
The situation of Moore's Magcargo on the opposite side was very bad. It was collapsed on the ground, motionless, and from the golden and fine thunder leaping on its body, its current situation could be seen.
Although Magcargo had not lost its fighting ability, judging from its eyes that had not yet turned into circles, it did not have the physical strength and spirit to support it to fight again.
"From the current situation, it seems that Mr. Moore's Magcargo is obviously unable to fight," Hilda expressed her opinion after taking a closer look at the state of Magcargo.
"I don't know what Mr. Moore thinks," Rosa added, looking at Moore.
Of course, Gary, as Mr. Moore's opponent, also turned his attention to Moore.
"Hey, I lost this game," Moore's final decision did not surprise Gary and the others.
"Thank you for your hard work. Come back and rest, Magcargo."
In this way, Gary successfully defeated Moore's first Pokémon, Magcargo.
After the first battle, Gary immediately replaced another Poké Ball and threw it out first.
"This time my Pokémon is this one, come on, Blastoise!"
The Poké Ball thrown by Gary was instantly opened, and then Gary's trump Pokémon, Blastoise, which had reached the level of a master, appeared on the field and roared with great momentum.
After Gary's previous training for a period of time, plus its own accumulated strength, the Blastoise, which had just completed the advancement to the master level, has reached level 72.
"Oh, this Blastoise..."
As the former Fire-type Elite Four of the Hoenn League, although he is now old, his eyes are still very sharp, so after Gary's Blastoise appeared, Moore saw that this Blastoise had reached the level of a master.
"What a Blastoise! Gary, you have trained it very well!"
After learning that Gary's Blastoise had reached the level of a master, even Moore had to admire it.
"This is all Blastoise's own credit," Gary humbly replied, pushing the credit to Blastoise.
"Hahaha, you are still too modest," Moore was also very satisfied with Gary's modesty, so he continued to say to Gary while smiling, "To reach this level, both the trainer and the Pokémon are indispensable."
"I've learned," Gary acknowledged the teachings from Moore.
"Since you sent this guy, then this guy is my old partner."
After Gary sent out the master-level Blastoise, Moore was not going to let it go and decided to send out his current main Pokémon.
"I'll leave it to you, Infernape!"
After the white light of the Poké Ball dissipated, an Infernape appeared opposite Blastoise.

Type: Fire, Fighting

"Awesome, Grandpa actually sent out his old friend Infernape!"
After seeing that her grandfather had sent out the veteran Infernape, Flannery, as the referee, was shocked and speechless.
This was the first time she saw her grandfather send out the main Pokémon during a gym challenge.
Although there was only one, it also surprised Flannery.
"Flannery, pay attention, you are the referee now, don't be distracted!"
After Moore didn't hear the words from Flannery to announce the start, he immediately looked at his granddaughter Flannery and reminded her.
"Oh..."
After hearing the reminder from Moore, Flannery woke up immediately and announced the start of the second battle.
"The battle begins!"
"Very good, Blastoise, this is the first time we face a master-level Pokémon after we advance, we must win!"
After Gary took a look at his Blastoise, he laughed and shouted, "Blastoise, use Water Gun!"
After hearing Gary's order, Blastoise immediately aimed its two cannons at the opposite Infernape.
Then, two water guns shot towards the opposite Infernape like sharp arrows.
"Infernape, use Swift!"
Facing the incoming Water Gun, Infernape immediately used the Swift move, and countless golden energy stars faced Blastoise's Water Gun move.
After the two moves collided for a while, they both dissipated with a loud "bang."
"Next is Shadow Ball!"
As soon as Moore finished speaking, Infernape gathered a huge amount of energy in its mouth. After this energy formed a Shadow Ball, it rushed towards Blastoise.
"Blastoise, use Brick Break!"
Facing the incoming Shadow Ball, Blastoise completely defeated it with a Brick Break move. The Shadow Ball did not hurt itself, but Blastoise itself was forced back a step by this force.
"Use Hydro Pump!"
After repelling the opponent's attack, Gary decisively launched his own offensive.
The double cannons behind Blastoise launched an attack again. A thicker and more powerful water column than the previous Water Gun poured out from the muzzle and went straight to the Infernape on the opposite side.
"Infernape, use Flamethrower!"
Looking at the fierce Hydro Pump, Infernape remained calm in the face of danger. Under Moore's instructions, it immediately released the Flamethrower move to resist.
Blastoise's water was extinguishing Infernape's fire, and Infernape's fire was also evaporating Blastoise's water.
The two Pokémon were in a stalemate, and neither side could break through the stalemate. Finally, after both sides saw that they could not do anything to each other, they withdrew their attacks together.
"What a strong Infernape!"
Gary made a decision in his heart after seeing that his several attacks were ineffective against his opponent.
"It seems that this is the only way."
