"If this is the local Team we're facing they'd ironically cure my insomnia if I had it," Shiranui added, checking in for his room.

Shiranui accepted the handshake. "These poachers make me sick," he said in disgust, "Engineering super Pokémon for nefarious ends and following in Giovanni's footsteps." A horrible thought came to his mind. "Does Valkyrie have the Berserk Gene by any chance?" he asked, concerned that Valkyrie may not be very controllable as a Kommo-o.

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.

Ikari was panting in exhaustion as well after taking a Counter attack. "Ikari, finish Valkyrie off with Dragon Claw!" The shiny Bagon mustered up the energy for her next attack and before she started charging again she let off a bright glow, signifying that she was evolving. Her body morphed into a spherical shape with four stump-like legs and when the glow subsided there stood a green-tinged Shelgon that started running at Valkyrie. Shiranui scanned Ikari's new form with his Rotom Phone. "Shelgon, the Endurance Pokémon. A Dragon type and the evolved form of Bagon. Shelgon ignores its hunger entirely, never eating any food. Apparently, Shelgon will evolve once all its energy stores are used up."

"Use Dragon Rush on my signal," Shiranui commanded, "Wait for it…" When Valkyrie wound up for her attack, Shiranui commanded, "今!" (Now!) Ikari charged at Valkyrie with a point-blank Dragon Rush, made stronger by her Sheer Force ability.

"Be careful, Ikari," Shiranui warned, "This one's likely more than meets the eyes. Start with Scary Face!" The shiny Bagon pulled a frightening face at Valkyrie.

Me neither.

"You picked your low-level opponent," Shiranui stated, putting away the Beast Ball, "Ikari, I choose you!" He opened the Ultra Ball shown to Selina and standing ready to battle was his shiny Bagon.

Shiranui showed Selina an Ultra Ball and a Beast Ball. "The choice is yours: if you wish to go low level, you'll be battling the Pokémon in this Ultra Ball," he offered, "Go high level and you'll be facing the Pokémon in this Beast Ball."

Shiranui went to the Rotomi to make a change to his party before the Rotom Drone arrived. "Trainers Selina Gosler and Shiranui Tsukiko, please depart to a more suitable location," the Rotom Drone instructed. Shiranui nodded and followed the Rotom Drone outside.
