Shiranui lost some points and both his Pokémon were slowed. "Niwatori, Curse; Fushigi, use Venoshock on Sceptile!" Niwatori dropped his Speed to boost his physical stats while Fushigi launched a gob of a mixture of toxins that would react with whatever Sceptile was poisoned with.

"Niwatori, Agility; Fushigi, give Jiraiya a Worry Seed!" Niwatori relaxed his body and started flitting to various places, dodging the seeds and boosting his Speed. Fushigi fired a seed at one of the Jiraiyas, intending to change the Greninja's ability and lock it to one type.

Shiranui was not fazed by the multiple Greninja and Sceptile. "Fushigi, Niwatori, use your Pledges! Mega Ring activate!" He activated his Mega Ring and Niwatori let off a glow as he Mega Evolved. Fushigi showed off his Grass Pledge and Niwatori added a Fire Pledge, setting the battlefield on fire.

After Liam and Drew had their battle, it was now time for May and Shiranui to face each other. "Gimansha, Kumo, I choose you!"
"Glaceon, Wartortle, take the stage!" Shiranui sent out his Mawile and Ariados and May sent her Glaceon and Wartortle out.
"Begin!" Vivian called.
"Glaceon, Ice Fang at Ariados; Wartortle, Aqua Tail at Mawile!"
"Gimansha, Stockpile; Kumo, Electroweb at Wartortle!" Both of May's Pokémon charged in to attack. Glaceon gave Kumo a chilly bite and Wartortle whacked Gimansha with its wet tail. Gimansha charged her power, boosting both her Defense stats and Kumo spat an electrified silky net at Wartortle, ensnaring it and slowing it down. Both coordinators lost points with May losing a bit more than Shiranui.
"Glaceon, Helping Hand; Wartortle, Water Pulse at Ariados!"
"Kumo, give Glaceon a Scary Face; Gimansha, Iron Head at Glaceon! Mega Ring activate!" Shiranui activated his Mega Ring and Gimansha wowed the audience with her Mega Evolution. Glaceon lent Wartortle some of its power before getting whacked by both sets of Gimansha's jaws, barely surviving the hit. Kumo made a scary face and Glaceon froze up at the sight. Some of the arachnophobic members of the audience were scared as well. Wartortle blasted Kumo with a pulsing blast of water and the Ariados was confused as a result.
"Glaceon, Avalanche at Ariados; Wartortle, Hydro Pump at Mawile!"
"Gimansha, Play Rough with Glaceon; Kumo, X-Scissor at Wartortle!" The Mega Mawile roughhoused with Glaceon. leaving it knocked out. Kumo crossed her front legs and gave Wartortle a critical X-shaped swipe. The Ariados' Sniper ability gave her the power boost she needed to knock Wartortle out. The judges' screens showed crosses and Shiranui advanced to the grand final.

Shiranui's next opponent was Wallace—a coordinator he had faced not that long before. Wallace sent out a Sealeo and a Seaking and Shiranui sent out Manectric and Kinoko. "Sealeo, Aurora Beam at Breloom; Seaking, Waterfall at Manectric!"
"Manectric, Charge; Kinoko, Spore at Sealeo!" Manectric charged its power while Kinoko unleashed a cloud of spores at Sealeo, causing the seal to fall asleep. Seaking charged at Manectric with the speed used to climb waterfalls and nailed her for some damage. Sealeo didn't wake up and Wallace lost more points than Shiranui.
"Sealeo, Frost Breath at Breloom; Seaking, Horn Drill at Manectric!"
"Manectric, give Seaking a Thunder attack; Kinoko, Mind Reader!" Manectric created a thunderhead above the battlefield and Seaking was struck by lightning, knocking it out in one hit. Kinoko started sensing Sealeo's movements, ensuring her next attack would not miss. Sealeo remained fast asleep and Wallace's points took a big hit.
"Sealeo, Blizzard!"
"Kinoko, give Sealeo a Dynamic Punch; Manectric, Electro Ball! Mega Ring activate!" Shiranui activated his Mega Ring and the light from Manectric's Mega Evolution added to her appeal. Manectric conjured an orb of electricity and fired it at Sealeo, electrocuting the seal. Kinoko charged in and delivered a devastating punch that knocked Sealeo out. All five judges had crosses on their screens and Shiranui advanced to the semi-final.
