"All right. We are now moving on to the next match!" Chi Ta said. "From the world of Animal Crossing, this girl is known for being an assistant to the mayor and being a wonder of all ages. She is the Mayor's Assistant...Isabelle!" she said as Isabelle came walking in.

"She always seems so peppy." Petra said.

"Guess that's how she always is. Nothing ever seems to bring her down." Marta added. "Not even her duties as the Mayor's Assistant."

"Yep...she is forever chipper. And a cute little puppy at that." Fluttershy said.

"I dunno if anyone wants to fight her when she looks so cute." Hope said.

"Nyet. There is one." Molotok announced, standing up. "Mne."

"Oh...and we have a challenger! From the Fatebreakers, he is the shark who is not afraid to bite back! One of the infamous 40 Tentacles of the Locker! He is the Hammerhead Mercenary! Molotok...Splashius!" Chi Ta said.

"Well...least it's against a fellow animal." Isabelle said.

"And the location is...Tortimer Island!" Chi Ta said as the two appeared on an island. "Let the battle...commence!"

Molotok hefted his hammer up and charged Isabelle, hefting his hammer over his head for a downwards strike.

Isabelle jumped as she pulled out a fishing rod and hooked the large shark before hurling him into the air.

The Hammerhead Shark Beastman twisted himself in the air so he was looking at the ground. As gravity took hold of him once more, he positioned himself so that he was falling towards the ground legs first, landing on the sand crouched before standing back up.

"Da, very good." Molotok nodded towards Isabelle. "You are strong indeed."

"Yeah!" Isabelle said as she sent a Lloid at him as he effortlessly swatted it away. "Okay...here we go." she said getting close and pulling a party popper right in his face.

The popper caused Molotok to blink and take a step back, but only that. The shark pirate responded by roughly pushing the assistant away with the top of his hammer.

Isabelle then rang a bell as dozens of workers started building a large town hall around the shark. The building was swiftly completed before it exploded with Molotok inside.

The Beastman was launched into the air once more, this time landing in the water behind Isabelle. After a few moments, Molotok leaped out of the water and slammed Isabelle straight on with his hammer, sending her flying out of sight with a twinkle.

"Da, good fight. Very strong indeed, malen'kiy!" Molotok laughed goodnaturedly.

"'Da' it was. And our winner here is obvious...Molotok the Shark!" Chi Ta said as the audience cheered.

"Well how about that? He didn't just win, he did it without the crowd hating him for beating Isabelle." Kazuma said. "Glad we're not getting a repeat of Veldora and Shadow Prove."

"Oui, Molotok has that sort of personality." Le Kraken said. "He respects all those who have what he sees as true strength, that being strong resolve, a strong heart, and a strong moral code. Petit Isabelle seems to have met the requirement to have his respect."

"Yeah...hopefully she'll pay him back once she gets back here." Theo said.

"Yeah...and maybe not that mad." Molotok hoped.
