Ikari landed the hit and a moment before impact Valkyrie's Counter aura flared up.  A cloud of dust covered the two combatants at the moment of impact and when it subsided, the Rotom Drone overseeing the battle saw what it needed to see.  "Both Pokémon are unable to battle," the Rotom Drone arbitrated, "This battle is a draw.  No change to the trainers' rankings."  With that, the Rotom Drone flew off.

Shiranui recalled the newly-evolved Ikari and addressed Selina.  "Is Valkyrie another one of them?" he inquired, referring to a group of super-Pokémon a syndicate of poachers engineered from splicing Saisei's DNA with various other Pokémon.
