Sophia was surprised by Sebastian's choice to withdraw his bisharp. Dusknoir on the other hand immediately began to rejoice in his victory. Sebastian's willingness to protect his pokemon would probably serve him better in the long run compared to Sophia's willingness to see her pokemon fight to the bitter decisive end. It was a bad match up and she knew it. She was worried because Bisharp was a dark type, but then again, Dusknoir became a permanent part of her team because of that reason. Sophia raised Dusknoir's poke ball and said, "Iskandar, well done. Return there are other fields to conquer." Dusknoir willingly returned after giving a bow to the crowd.

Sophia heard a what the announcer declared was the next challenge. It was to be a double battle. Sophia enjoyed this. There were several combinations she could use with her pokemon. Thankfully her pokemon all got along well togather. She began to think what team she would send when Sebastian, with very little thought, threw out a Shiftry and Masquerain. His haste probably meant that next round she would have to pick her pokemon first.

Sophia smiled as she decided. She looked down at her Glaceon and said, "Virgo, i need you to enter the frey. We are in the lead. I trust you to hold our lead." Glaceon let out a cute cry then bounds gracefully to his spot on the battlefield. His fur was a darker shade of blue than normal Glaceon would be like it was mimicking the dark snow that falls during the forbidden hours of night. Sophia then pulls out a duskball and says, "Phobia, time to perform." Immediately, a froslass emerged and takes its place on the field. She dances and twirls for the amusement of the crowd. Froslass seemed to be begging to be the center of attention. 

With Glaceon and Froslass on the field, Sophia was confident and ready at whatever Sebastian had.
