Both Honoh and Salamence were let out of their respective Poké Balls and the semi-final match was on.  Not even Salamence was fast enough to keep pace with Honoh as the Talonflame took the ring despite feeling the effects of the Intimidate ability.  "Salamence, Thunder Fang!"
"Honoh, Me First!"  Honoh swooped back down towards Salamence and struck the dragon with an electrified open-beaked peck, knocking Salamence off course.  Salamence tried to pursue Honoh with his jaws sparking, but the Talonflame was widening the gap.
"Salamence, Hyper Beam!"
"Honoh, Acrobatics!"  Salamence charged up and fired a powerful beam of energy, intending to knock Honoh out of the sky, but Honoh flew barrel rolls around the beam.  The beam faded and with Salamence having to recharge from the move, Honoh took advantage and scored the winning goal.
