While it seemed as if Drizzile had truly outsmarted Unown, he had already fallen victim to Shaymin's electric rope gimmick. As if that was not enough, the odd being had decided that he saw enough of the chameleon's skills, so much so that he would not rely on his usual tactics for this match. Not only did Drizzile already feel weak from the shock he had taken in, but his plan had backfired.

But even so, he could not give up, not when only a little more than two minutes had passed. He had faced many tough opponents and was yet to lose ever since he defeated Runerigus. There was no way he could allow himself to fall this early.

With that in mind, he took a deep breath when Unown's letters finally stopped circling around his head and formed into the shape of a scorpion. He then implied a smirk and said, "Don't worry, I'll end this nice and quick," before he sent his pincers toward Drizzile's shoulders.

The chameleon frowned and leaned his body backward in a perfect arch just in time to avoid them. He then balanced himself on his tail and wrapped an arm and a leg around each of Unown's wrists, the odd being's eye wide with shock. But of course, after his match with Drednaw, Drizzile knew better than to cling to him for too long, as such, he swung his body backward before launching himself forward and planting his tail into Unown's eye, shouting, "FLYING CHAMELEON LANCE!"

The Irish crowd cheered while Allie uttered, "Wow, that was really creative," Drizzile wrapping his leg around Unown's head and forcing his chin downward into the canvas.

But just when it seemed like he had the upper hand back, Unown implied a frown and transformed into a porcupine. Afterwards, her tucked himself into a ball, many small portions of his letters sticking out like quills before he rolled right into Drizzile and barked, "ANCIENT PORCUPINE BOWLING BALL!"

Many cuts covered Drizzile while he flew backward. But just as it looked like he would hit the ropes again, he gasped and jabbed his tail into the canvas just in time. But even so, he knew he would have to act fast when Unown advanced toward him, thus he took a deep breath and thought, 'I don't know if this'll work for me, but I have to try.'

The crowd watched in stunned silence when he curved his tail inward, much like when Vaporeon would curl her tail into a spring. And once it was as low as it could go, he released it and launched himself high into the air just in time for Unown to roll into the ropes. Just like before, electricity covered his entire body but once again had little effect on him, thus he used his quills to climb up onto the top and bounce himself off.

Drizzile's eyes widened when Allie shouted, "DRIZILLE, LOOK OUT!" only for him to take another strike, this time to his back. He coughed up blood before Unown changed into a gorilla. And with that, he took hold of the chameleon's sides, let out a loud battle cry and descended toward the mat with Drizzile's belly aimed at the surface.

"ANCIENT SIMIAN POWERBOMB!" he yelled as he descended toward the mat and rammed Drizzile's gut hard into it. The Mexican crowd simply could not believe this, thus they cheered heavily while the chameleon lay there, everyone else in shock. It had not been that easy, had it?

"Even though Drizzile can pack a punch, it seems as if his fortune is similar to when he was just starting out," Shaymin stated while Tori started the ten count, "From just a few hits, it looks like he might be out cold!"

Allie bit her lower lip and thought, 'Come on, Drizzile. You've worked way too hard for this,' the others cheering for him.

Even Incineroar could not help but stand up and shout, "Come on, Drizzile! That was nothing for a badass like you! Now get up and kick his ass!"

Drizzile's eyes widened as he leapt up right before Tori could reach six seconds, the Irish crowd cheering for him while Unown folded his arms and said, "That's probably for the best. It would have been boring to win so easily."

The chameleon frowned and thought, 'Alright, it's not too bad yet. I have to save my new ability for when I'm truly on the verge of defeat. This is only the beginning. Even with that electric shock earlier, I still haven't taken in nearly as much pain as I did against Sandaconda and Incineroar.'

With that in mind, he waited while Unown took on the form of a ram. He then charged toward Drizzile with his horns lowered and exclaimed, "ANCIENT BATTERING RAM!" only for the chameleon to leap over his head with his hands cupped together over his head. He then formed water around them and morphed them into katana before pointing them downward and shouting, "AQUATIC ASSASSINATION!"

Unown's eye widened with terror when the blades were lodged into his back. However, what shocked him and the crowd even more was when a black liquid very similar to ink flew out of that very spot.

All went silent among the crowd until Allie uttered, "Did anyone else just see that?" Morgrem blinking and enquiring, "He could actually bleed this whole time? I was starting to think he was made up of something else entirely."

Drizzile kept his blade in Unown's back for a while as he was just as spellbound as the majority of the crowd. However, there was no way the odd being would allow this, thus he separated his letters and distanced himself from Drizzile, causing him to fall flat against the mat.

After the chameleon rose to his feet, Unown took on his regular form and breathed heavily, thinking, 'Dammit, no one was supposed to know about that! Why didn't I think that he could turn his water into blades!? If he can form giant hands, that shouldn't have been too hard to predict!'

Even so, he took a deep breath and treated the fact that he could bleed as if it was not a big deal, saying, "Not bad. You actually cut me open. No one's ever been able to do that before. But it doesn't matter, anyway. Just like these electrified ropes, something as simple as a stab wound barely hurts me."

"Is he for real?" Scorbunny groaned, "Seriously, I think this guy might be worse than Melmetal," only for Allie to shake her head and remark, "No. He's lying. That hurt him much more than he's letting on. If Drizzile can strike him with more moves like that, that'll make things much easier."

But of course, Unown would not allow this to happen. Thus he separated his letters again and took on the form of a kabuto once more. But when he flew toward Drizzile again, he knew better than to make the same mistake. As such, he flew right over the chameleon's head before he could retaliate.

Drizzile's eyes widened in confusion until Unown landed behind him and changed into a snake. He then wrapped his tail around the chameleon's neck and shouted, "ANCIENT SNAKE NOOSE!"

While this did put quite a bit of pressure on Drizzile's neck, he felt prepared for this. As such, he covered his hands in water and formed his small blades. But just as he was about to jab the part strangling him, Unown chuckled, "As if I didn't see that coming," leaping into the air and spinning vertically like a wheel. And once he was close to the mat, he rammed Drizzile's skull into it and barked, "ANCIENT WHEEL SLAM!"

Drizzile cried out in pain while the Mexican crowd cheered. But of course, there was no way Unown would leave it at that. As such, he wrapped his tail around the chameleon's waist and lifted him up, saying, "One more time," before leaping into the air and spinning vertically again.

However, this time he headed toward the top rope. At that moment, Allie stood up from her seat and squeaked, "COME ON, DRIZZILE, ESCAPE!"

Unfortunately, Unown refused to give him a chance to try as he rammed his back hard into the rope, shouting, "ANCIENT WHEEL SLAM!"

The Irish fans all stared in horror when electricity coursed through Drizzile's veins. And since his hands were still covered in water, those took in the worst damage of all, burns forming on them while he cried out in agonizing pain. But since Unown knew better than to kill him, he lifted the chameleon up after half a minute and slammed his back into the canvas.

The entire crowd went silent once more while Tori started another ten count. They could not believe it. It seemed as if the match was already over, a look of satisfaction in Unown's eye.

'I'll give you this, you're not bad, kid,' he thought, 'If these ropes weren't electric, you might have been a decent challenge. But a win's a win,' narrowing his eye while his mind added, 'Still, I can't believe you actually got me to bleed.'

"Drizzile, get up!" Allie screamed, "It's not over yet, it can't be! You've dealt with worse than this, I just know it!" Bailey nodding and chanting, "Come on! Drizzile! Drizzile!" the others joining in.

While most of the crowd followed suit, the chameleon lay there and thought, 'Dammit, it can't be over already. I didn't even get to use my power once,' before his hand twitched, Tori having reached six seconds. At that moment, he realized he could not possibly allow himself to lose, not after he had come so far.

With that in mind, he clenched his fists and rose back to his feet just in time for Tori to reach nine. The crowd cheered while Unown stared wide-eyed and spat, "WHAT!?"

However, his irritation died down when he noticed something off. Drizzile's eyes were still closed, as if he was still unconscious and his body had moved on its own. While the others knew exactly what he was doing, once again, the odd being had not seen his matches up to this point, and this was just what he needed.

"Wait, is he doing what I think he is?" Morgrem uttered as Allie nodded and replied, "Yeah. He spent hours working on it. He said he finally perfected it. I'm just hoping that's true."

Unown chuckled and thought, 'This is too perfect. His body just can't accept that he's already lost. All I need is to give him a light nudge and he's finished, but where's the entertainment in that?'

With that in mind, he morphed his body into that of a ram once again and raced toward Drizzile with his horns pointed outward. But just as he was about to make contact, sure enough, the chameleon felt the force of his movement and leapt to the side. The crowd stared in stunned silence while he delivered a roundhouse into Unown's side.

The odd being's eye was wide open as he was too shocked to figure out what was going on. This caused him to lose focus, resulting in him ramming head-first into the ropes. But once again, he showed no signs of pain and backed away before turning to face Drizzile. As if that manoeuvre was not enough, though, the chameleon had a look of confidence on his mouth and eyebrows and held up a defensive stance.

The crowd broke out into heavy cheers and applause while Shaymin squeaked, "And Drizzile pulls off the same miracle he performed against Sandaconda! I still have no idea how he did that, but it seems to have given him a bit of an edge! Let's see if he can keep this up!"

"Way to go, Drizzile!" Morgrem exclaimed with a wide grin, Rolycoly pumping his fists up and down and adding, "Now you'll kick his ass for sure!"

However, Unown did not feel intimidated yet. If anything, this felt like nothing more than a fluke. As such, he narrowed his eyelid and grunted, "Don't act so cocky! You just got lucky!"

With that in mind, he transformed into a falcon and flew toward Drizzile who leapt up just in time to form his massive water hands and shout, "AQUATIC POWER MITTS!" ramming both fists hard into the odd being's chest.

However, he did not end his attack there as he grabbed hold of Unown's wings and leaned backward. He planted the odd being's skull into the canvas before the Irish crowd went wild, Scorbunny squealing, "What a brilliant move at a critical juncture!"

Everyone stared awkwardly at her until she uttered, "Did I really just say that?" before Incineroar shouted, "Oh yeah, there's that badass who took me down!"

Unown pushed himself upright and thought, 'Alright, I see how it is. Now that his eyes are closed, he's faster and more nimble. Very well, I'll just have to become something that's both of those things.'

With that in mind, he transformed into a monkey and leapt onto the top rope. Electricity coursed through him, but he once again ignored it with ease and bounced off before landing behind Drizzile and setting up a back kick with both feet. Once again, the chameleon felt it and leapt into the air just in time to avoid the incoming attack.

Unown narrowed his eyelid and propelled himself upward only for Drizzile to lather his feet in water and form blades on the soles. The crowd stared in shock, Unown's eye with with terror when the soles of his own feet went straight through the blades, the chameleon barking, "AQUATIC ICE SKATES!"

What shocked the Mexican crowd most of all was not even the move itself but rather that much like his katanas, the blades were completely lodged in Unown's artificial feet. And much like before, this managed to draw black blood from him, the odd being once again too stunned to retaliate. Thus Drizzile took full advantage of this and flipped his body forward three hundred and sixty degrees, lifting Unown into the air and planting his face into the canvas.

The crowd cheered the loudest they had throughout the entire match, Shaymin squealing, "Oh my god! This is unbelievable! After taking in so much torment up until now, Drizzile has made a remarkable comeback and knocked Unown down!" Tori starting up the ten count while Allie and the others all jumped up and down with their arms in the air.

Drizzile breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes before he uncovered his ear holes. One last thing Inteleon had taught him was how to count to two minutes in his head, so he could tell that exact amount of time had passed. Thus he smiled and thought, 'I did it, Mom. I wish you could have been here to see this in person.'

But just as it seemed like he had won the match for good, many members of the crowd stared in horror when Unown murmured, "Ancient Power," and once again separated his letters. Drizzile turned and gasped before he backed up and watched in horror. A part of him felt as if this would not be enough to finish the match for good, but deep down, he hoped that it would.

However, what happened next truly amazed everyone. Rather than taking on another common animal form, Unown became what looked like a wolf with sharp quills running down his back. He had razor sharp claws on his artificial feet and had even formed a nose that resembled that of a bat.

"Um, what is that supposed to be?" Scorbunny uttered before Geneva gasped, "Oh my god! I think I know what he just turned into! But does that mean this creature's real?" the others turning to her before Rolycoly gulped, "I know exactly what she's referring to."

Drizzile trembled and uttered, "Um, what exactly is that?" Unown replying, "A creature of legend. Even though there is no official proof that it exists, I've always been fascinated with it. So I went with the design that sounded the coolest to me. In case you haven't figured it out yet, I've taken on the form of the legendary chupacabra!"

Even the Mexican crowd could not help but feel a twinge of fear until one said, "It's fine. It's not like he's a real chupacabra," the others nodding, though some of them still had trouble looking past the form itself.

But while this did frighten Drizzile at first, he took a deep breath and frowned, grunting, "Ever since I became a hero, I've faced many scary creatures. Hell, the very first opponent I defeated on my own was much scarier than you could ever hope to be! At least he was an actual spirit! You're just a poser pretending to be all these creatures!"

Unown stared silently for a few seconds before he narrowed his eyelid and growled, "I'll show you who's a poser!" He then let out a battle cry and pounced at Drizzile with his claws out.

The chameleon leapt backward just in time to avoid the strike only for Unown to roll up into a wheel formation and shout, "ANCIENT CHUPACABRA ROLLER!" ramming himself hard into Drizzile. While the quills were not quite as powerful as those of his porcupine form, they still managed to cover the chameleon in holes while he flew backward into the ropes.

He let out a loud cry of pain after receiving yet another electric shock before Unown placed a firm grip on him and planted his claws into the back of his head while covering his mouth. A maniacal look formed in his eye while he quipped, "Oh, not so tough anymore, are you? Come on, where's that amazing stealth you displayed earlier!? Why aren't you dodging my moves anymore!?"

The chameleon squirmed, grabbed hold of the odd being's hand and tugged on it. When this proved ineffective, he formed water around his hands again and morphed it into small blades. He then stabbed the back of the hand, once again drawing blood before Unown narrowed his eyelid and lifted him up, slamming the back of his head into the canvas.

He then proceeded to open up his new artificial mouth and reveal a set of sharp teeth. He inched his head toward Drizzile's belly and grunted, "ANCIENT CHUPACABRA BITE!" many members of the crowd staring in horror. While Unown may have taken on the form of the legendary beast, that did not mean he now had the ability to suck blood, did it?

Of course, Tori kept a watchful eye to make sure he did not try to murder Drizzile while Shaymin could not help but stare and utter, "Wow, I did not think this guy's abilities could be any more amazing."

But just as Unown was about to sink his teeth into Drizzile, his friends praying that he would be able to overcome this, he frowned and formed a pair of shuriken around his hands. He then barked, "AQUATIC SHURIKEN!" and planted both into the odd being's cheeks, once again drawing blood from him.

Unlike before, Unown actually showed signs of pain. His eye went wide and twitched before he let out a loud cry and released his hold on Drizzile's head. But when he reeled his own head back, the chameleon continued to cling to him as he suddenly noticed something.

While it was hard to make out, all the times he had successfully stabbed Unown had shown more results than expected. All of the letters he pierced had been cut open, and as it so happened, a G that made up his right cheek was one such letter that he had used to form a foot for his monkey form earlier.

Seeing this gave Drizzile a huge boost in confidence, thus he took a deep breath and swung both of his feet into the odd being's face before he removed his shuriken. This caused Unown to back up into the ropes while electricity once again coursed through him. But unlike before, some of it travelled into his new cuts, thus for the first time in the entire match, he showed signs of pain when he unleashed a loud cry of agony.

The crowd stared silently for a few seconds, but once they realized Drizzile had the upper hand again, the majority cheered wildly for him. Allie beamed bright and bit her lower lip before she screamed, "WOO! You got him, Drizzile! Finish him off!" the others nodding and sending him their own words of encouragement.

Drizzile took a deep breath and backed up a little bit, grunting, "I should have suspected as much from the start. Admit it, Unown, all this time, you have been taking in damage from everything, including the electricity. You were just able to ignore it because that body of yours is able to prevent you from feeling pain. But now that I've managed to cut it open, you can't hide that anymore, can you? Now you have weak spots that I created."

Unown stared wide-eyed and trembled, thus the chameleon took a deep breath and formed his katana one last time. Finally, he leapt toward Unown and shouted, "AQUATIC ASSASSINATION!" swinging them both down his entire front side before more blood sprayed out of him.

Now Unown was truly frightened. He could no longer bring himself to fight back. And this was all Drizzile needed before he lodged his blades into the odd being's shoulders and leapt backward, shouting, "AQUATIC KATANA SUPLEX!"

When Unown's skull hit the canvas hard, he had a blank look in his eye. And after Drizzile released him, his entire body collapsed and he lay there with his arms twitching. No one could believe what they had seen. Even Drizzile's fans and friends could not help but stare in stunned silence.

Either way, Tori blinked and started the ten count while Shaymin exclaimed, "And just as it seemed like Unown could never truly be hurt, Drizzile has found a way and knocked him down! Let's see if he can get up, folks!"

Sure enough, Unown could barely move. And after four seconds, his arms stopped twitching. As such, Tori was able to reach ten seconds before she rang the bell and exclaimed, "And that's that! After the longest match so far, Drizzile has come out on top and will advance to the finals!"

The area filled up with cheers and applause while even the Mexican crowd could not help but respect the chameleon. His eyes were wide with shock as he uttered, "Wait, I won? I actually won?"

Allie grinned as wide she she could and clapped happily while Scorbunny squealed, "That was amazing, Drizzile! You're awesome!" Morgrem and Rolycoly both spellbound. They just knew that if either of them faced him, they would stand even less of a chance than they did against Scorbunny.

Melmetal, all the while, gazed upon the chameleon before he got up to head elsewhere to prepare himself. After all, his match was only five minutes away, and when Shaymin reminded the audience of this, Scorbunny rose up from her seat and said, "Right. I gotta get ready."

Unown was lifted up onto a stretcher as Drizzile breathed a sigh of relief. While the odd being may not have been a villain, Drizzile still could not help but think if that match had gone on any longer, he would have been killed for sure.

And so, he headed toward the bleachers, and when Scorbunny hopped next to him, she grinned and held up her hand. The chameleon smiled and gave her a high five, heading toward the seat she had been seated in before. Needless to say, Allie gave him a big hug when he sat down and shook him for a little while he chuckled and tried to ignore how much this hurt him. After all, this was a nice moment and he did not wish to spoil it.

Of course, Inteleon had also seen all of this on TV after having returned home the previous day. A big smile formed on her face while she thought, 'Good job, son. I have no doubt you'll be champion.'

But while things had turned out well for Drizzile in the end, there was still Scorbunny's match with Melmetal. Now everyone could not wait to see how that would turn out.
