Liam followed Shiranui to the next Totem., going first this time. Liam called on Hakomo-o for the battle. the Totem appeared and got its buff for the battle. 
"Earthquake!" Liam called, Hakomo-o caused tremors that knocked the totem off balance. It got back up, knowing that it was in a rough spot out the gate. Its opponent had moves that it was double week too, and a Togendemaru did not have access to too many moves that would be super effective on this opponent. The totem used Magnet Rise to float in the air and be safe from another Earthquake, but it was a maneuver Liam counted on. Before he could order his next attack, the totem's help, a Skarmaory flew in too its aid.
"Now, Sky Uppercut the Skarmory!" Liam called. Hakomo-o angled himself properly and propelled himself into the air, smacking into Skarmory and knocking it into the Totem Pokémon, who retaliated with Defense Curl. Liam wondered if it was going for the Defense Curl/Rollout strategy, but decided it was best not to let it finish. Liam did the proper maneuvers for Devastating Drake, and blasted the Totem out of the sky, KO'd. a Steelium Z fell to Liam's feet and he picked it up. He gave the totem and its friend each a revive and some berries before stepping aside to let Shiranui take his turn. As Liam took his spot on the sidelines, Poiple burst from its Beast Ball, intrigued by what was going on.
