Along the way, Trevor appears and says that he wants to challenge Liam to a one-on-one battle, it had been a while and he wanted to see how they stacked up. Liam agreed to the match.
 "Florges, go!" Trevor called, sending out a white flower Florges.
 "Poipole, it's time to shine!" Liam called sending out the Ultra Beast.
 Trevor had no idea what Poiple was and called for Fairy Wind, a move that did very little to Poipole.
 "This thing [i]isn't[/i] a dragon?" Trevor asked surprised.
"Poipole, use Poison Jab!" Liam called. The attack landed directly but did not manage to poison the enemy.
"Use Psychic," Trevor called. Poiple was hit and his Sp Def was lowered.
 "Toxic!" Liam ordered. The blob of poison landed on the Fairy-typed Pokémon and began to do its work. Trevor ordered a Psychic attack, but it missed.
(Toxic 1)
Florges used Psychic, but missed and was hit with Venom Drench. Since Florges was already poisoned, its Atk, Sp Atk, and Speed were all lowered.
(Toxic 2)
Florges used Psychic again and hit, putting Poipole in a dangerous position. Liam ordered Poipole to use Venoshock, which did double damage with the target already poisoned. 
(Toxic 3)
Both Pokémon were worse for wear, it seemed as though if Poipole took damage before the poison triggered again, he would lose.
Trevor called for Giga Impact, which Poipole just barely managed to avoid before doing a final Poison Jab to finish Florges off. Poipole began to celebrate and began to glow white. It grew bigger and gained a pair of wings. The three stingers on top of its head moved to the bottom and the middle stinger grew to a much larger size.

Liam thanked Trevor for the battle and made a mental note that he would need to send Poipole to Lusamine so she could get some data on it.
