Liam's next opponent used a Tyrouge.
 [i] Tyrouge, The Schuffle Pokemon. Tyrouge can evolve into Hitmonchan or Hitmonlee. It is always bursting with energy. To make itself stronger, it keeps on fighting even if it loses. To brush up on its fighting skills, it will challenge anyone. It has a very strong competitive spirit.[/i] Hitmonchan punched the Tyrouge with several blows, during which it evolved into a Hitmontop.

"[i[ Hitmontop, the Handstand Pokemon and Tyrouge's third possible evolution. It fights while spinning like a top. The centrifugal force boosts its destructive power by 10. If you are enchanted by its smooth, dance-like kicks, you may get a closer experience with one than you'd like."

Hitmonchan managed to win the fight and Liam advanced to the semi finals.
