Team Rocket's Second-in-Command!

The audience, both in the stands and watching from their televisions, remained oblivious to the intricacies of what had just occurred.

All they saw was Luo Yuan's Ditto transforming into a Charizard mid-battle, which sparked a collective desire to capture their own Ditto.

Even Lance and the other trainers noticed the implications.

While type matchups were less decisive in battles between Elite-level trainers, they still played a significant role. With a Ditto capable of adapting to its opponent's strengths and weaknesses, Luo Yuan held an undeniable advantage in any battle.

Among the observers, only Giovanni and Professor Oak maintained calm expressions.

Giovanni was unsurprised, having a deep understanding of Luo Yuan's abilities. Professor Oak, on the other hand, had grown accustomed to Luo Yuan's knack for surprising everyone, making this yet another instance of the unusual becoming routine.

As the crowd continued to process what they were witnessing, Luo Yuan's Ditto pressed its offensive.

Earlier, Ditto-Charizard had launched a sudden Fire Blast, but Beartic had managed to block it with Protect at the last moment.

However, Ditto showed no sign of discouragement. Its wings flared wide, and it unleashed a stream of roaring flames.

This time, instead of the hastily fired Fire Blast, the Flamethrower had been carefully charged, enhancing its power considerably.

The scorching flames surged toward Beartic.
