The next day..
Referee: Preliminary Round 1 of the Pokemon League Jr.Category is about to begin! On the Blue corner we have Rize from Hoenn and On the Red corner we have Gary from Johto! It's a 3 on 3 Pokemon Battle with no time limit and free substitution! Please send out the Pokemon after a countdown from 3! 3,2,1! Go!
Gary: Magcargo! go!

" Magcargo, the Lava Pokemon and the evolved form of Slugma. It is a Fire and Rock type. The shell on its back is just skin  that has cooled and hardened. It breaks easily with a slight touch. "
 
Rize: Cyndaquil go!
Gary: So we meet again! I really didn't expect meeting you in the Pokemon League Competition! So you're able to train your Pokemon properly now?
Rize: Ofcourse! And I'm going to win! Cyndaquil Swift attack!
Magcargo was hit by Cyndaquil's Swift attack but it didn't feel a thing as it shielded itself using its shell.
Gary: Weak attacks like that can't hurt my Magcargo! Magcargo Rock Throw!
Magcargo used Rock Throw but Cyndaquil managed to dodged every single one.
Rize: Your Magcargo's too slow! But this is too troublesome! Cyndaquil retreat! Swampert go!
Gary: I won't let you do as you like! Magcargo back! Wobbuffet go!

" Wobbuffet the Patient Pokemon and the evolved form of Wynaut. It is a Psychic type. It hates light and shock. If attacked, it inflates its body to build up its counterstrike. "

Gary: Come on.. attack us now..
Rize: Swampert let's win with 1 shot! Hydro Pump!
Gary: Wobbuffet Mirror Coat!
Wobbuffet took the Hydro Pump's damage but reflected it back to Swampert with 2x the power and Swampert was knocked out!
Referee: Swampert is unable to battle! Wobbuffet wins!
Gary: 1 shot huh? Yeah right!
Rize: "Gotta use Cyndaquil and win or else he will have the advantage!" Cyndaquil go use Lava Plume!(Cyndaquil learned Lava Plume)
Gary: Wobbuffet Mirror Coat again!
Wobbuffet took the hit and once again reflected the Lava Plume back to Cyndaquil 2x the power but.. Cyndaquil took it and raised its own Fire power thanks to its Flash Fire abillity.
Gary: What?! But how?!
Rize: Yes!|
Wobbuffet was also burned due to the Lava Plume effect and knocked out.
Referee: Wobbuffet is unable to battle! Cyndaquil wins!
Gary: Magcargo back to battle! Let's show them the true Lava Plume!
Magcargo used Lava Plume and Cyndaquil once again  raised its Fire power. The flame on Cyndaquil's back is bursting out terrificly huge!
Gary: It's not possible!
Rize: Cyndaquil Lava Plume!
Gary: Fool! It will not affect Magcargo at all due to type resistances!
But even Magcargo's type resistance can't resist the burning hot of Cyndaquil's Lava Plume attack and knocked out.
Referee: Magcargo is unable to battle! Cyndaquil wins!
Rize: Yes! One more to go!
Gary: Don't think you've already won! Gligar go!
Rize: Cyndaquil Lava Plume again!
Gary: Dodge and use Aerial Ace!
Gligar dodged Lava Plume swiftly and used Aerial Ace.
Referee: Cyndaquil is unable to battle! Gligar wins!
Gary: It's 1 on 1 now!
Rize: Okay Heracross it's your turn!
Gary: Hey isn't this the Pokemon you can't train last time? So you wanna lose again?
Rize: Heracross let's show him your true power! Full power Megahorn!
Gary: Gligar X-Scissor!

                           
The two Pokemon clashed each other with their powerful attacks and fell down to the ground and the last one standing up is..
Referee: Gligar is unable to battle! Heracross wins! Rize from the Blue corner wins!
Gary: I lost...
