Shiranui sized up his opponent and since he faced a veteran coordinator, Johanna would be quite a challenge. The timer started and both coordinators sent out their Pokémon. "Umbreon, start with Quick Attack!" "Zoro, Dark Shield Combination!" The Zoroark conjured a Night Daze dome and hid a Protect shield in it. Umbreon ran right at Zoro, but bounced off the shield, costing Johanna points. Zoro dispelled the Protect shield and expanded the Night Daze while conjuring an illusion of the beach at night. "Umbreon, Confuse Ray!" "Zoro, Taunt!" Zoro put his speed to work and conjured a Honchkrow guise that started issuing a series of squawks that sounded like laughter. Shiranui was reminded of when his own Honchkrow laughed at Liam's Chansey—now a Blissey—during the Silver Conference grand final. Umbreon was angry at Zoro's mockery and was unable to pull its move off. "Umbreon, aim a Swift at the sky!" "Zoro, block the move with Fury Swipes!" Zoro dropped his Honchkrow guise as Umbreon fired star-shaped projectiles up at the sky. The Zoroark leaped into the air and used Fury Swipes to slash at the stars, causing them to explode into sparkles. "Umbreon, Shadow Ball!" "Zoro, Night Slash!" Zoro donned a Blade Forme Aegislash illusion as Umbreon launched a ball of shadow energy. Zoro's blade had an aura of dark energy as it slashed the Shadow Ball in half and used his cloth-like arms to throw the halves like discs at Umbreon. Umbreon dodged the attack. "Umbreon, Pursuit!" "Zoro, follow the leader!" This time Zoro donned an Umbreon guise of his own. The two Umbreon chased each other in circles around the battlefield and a lot of people were losing track of which Umbreon belonged to whom. "Umbreon, Feint Attack!" "Follow the leader!" The two Umbreon disappeared and in several places, they exchanged hits and near misses. The clock ticked down to 0:30. "Umbreon, Mean Look!" "Zoro, Scary Face!" This time, the two Umbreon made nasty and intimidating faces to see who could out-do the other. Zoro changed guises and now looked like a Gengar before using Hyper Voice to jump scare Umbreon. The clock hit zero and Umbreon fainted with fright. The illusions faded and for a while aside from the sound of waves crashing you could hear a pin drop as the audience was left stunned from Zoro's last appeal.
