It was now Shiranui's turn to battle and his opponent was a 16-year-old red-haired boy with a blue shirt who sent a Murkrow into battle.  "[i]That Murkrow reminds me of Kyouchou,[/i]" Shiranui mused, thinking about his Honchkrow, "Honoh, I choose you!"  He sent out his Fletchling and the battle was on.
"Murkrow, Pursuit!"
"Honoh, Peck!"  The Fletchling put his Gale Wings ability to work and gave Murkrow a swift peck before Murkrow tackled the robin.
"Murkrow, Wing Attack!"
"Honoh, time to test out that new move we worked on!  Acrobatics!"  The Fletchling let out a high-pitched chirp before he started to glow.  Honoh grew more than a foot in height before the glow subsided to reveal a Fletchinder.
"[i]Fletchinder, the Ember Pokémon and the evolved form of Fletchling.  The hotter the flame sac on its belly, the faster it can fly, but it takes some time to get the fire going.[/i]"  Honoh executed a few aerial stunts before dive bombing Murkrow into a knockout.

Shiranui also gained the status of Baron after receiving his own white cape.
