Soon, Veronica was called to the stands. She had dropped the Knightwing name to distance herself from her father and was introduced as Veronica Wicke, daughter of professor Wicke of the Ather Foundation. Her opponent was a young girl who sent out a Fairy type Clafable, thinking Veronica was bringing in Altaria again and was thrown off when Veronica reviled her Shiny Ninetails instead known as Kirasuna.

The two pokemon immediately clashed, with her Opponent strategy counter since she had not used Alteria. Veronica easily claimed the win by Knock Out, the crowd cheering for her.
