Benny was fuming at the defeat. The next batle was between Virgil and Liam's father, Thomas. The battle consisted  of four Pokemon each.  Thomas used Alakazam first. Virgil sent Umbreon out in reply. The long drawn out battle proved to be a stalemate. Alakazam was replaced by Breloom and Umbreon's spot went to Flareon. Breloom was Burned by Flareon, and Flareon won with Flare Blitz, however Effect Spore triggered and put it to sleep. Feralagatr came out next and finished Flareon. Jolteon battled Feralagatr. This also ended in a draw. The final battle was Leafeon vs Sandslash. In a close battle, Virgil pulled the victory. When counting his prelim battles, Virgil had used every member of the Eevee family except Sylveon.

Liam swept his opponent using Gabite, who evolved into Garchomp. 

"[i]Garchomp, the Mach Pokemon and Gible's final form. When it folds up its body and extends its wings, it looks like a jet plane. It flies at sonic speed. It never allows its prey to escape.[/i]"

Trevor beat his opponent using three of his Pokemon.
