"The halftime break is over! After a fiercely contested first half, Trainer Ash currently holds the lead over Trainer Gary. However, Trainer Gary still has three Pokémon remaining, and all of them are practically undamaged. Let's look forward to the kind of battle these two will bring us next," the commentator chimed in right as the intermission ended, successfully working the crowd into an excited frenzy.
"The field for the second half has been changed to a rocky terrain. Trainer Gary will make the first move, and Trainer Ash will follow."
At this moment, Gary pulled a Pokéball from his belt and said to Ash, "Ash, prepare to witness the power of my strongest Pokémon." With that, Gary flicked the ball forward. A flash of white light later, a massive Pokémon appeared, its body covered by a huge, heavy shell. It was none other than Gary's starter Pokémon—Blastoise.
