The next day, the sixth round began and Nils and Rex's match would be the second match of the round while Tana's match would be the one right after. After the first match ended, Nils and Rex went into the battlefield and prepared for battle.
"Looks like it's my boyfriend against your husband Tana," said Obelia as she Tana and the others were watching from the stand."
"Well we both know this will be a great battle," responded Tana.
"I agree with that," agreed Obelia.
"Go Ledian," said Nils and Ledian was sent out.
"Go Kingler," said Rex and Kingler was sent out.
"By decision of coin toss, Nils will have the first attack," explained the referee.
"Use Bug Buzz," said Nils and Ledian used the decided attack which gave Kingler some damage and lowered its special defense.
"Metal Claw," said Rex and Kingler used the move of choice which gave some damage to Ledian and also raised Kingler's attack.
"Use Giga Drain Ledian," said Nils and Ledian used the attack of choice which inflicted lots of damage on Kingler, because it was super effective and also because of the lowered special defense, and also healed a lot of Ledian's damage.
"Use Crabhammer," said Rex and Kingler used the attack that was chosen which inflicted a lot of damage on Ledion because of Kingler's raised attack.
"Giga Drain again," said Nils and Ledian used another Giga Drain which lead to the same result as last time only this time, Ledian had more damage remaining than last time.
"Crabhammer again," said Rex and Kingler used another Crabhammer which gave Ledian so much damage that Ledian's ability, Swarm activated.
"Use Bug Buzz," said Nils and Ledian used the chosen attack which gave Kingler a lot more damage than last time, because of Swarm and the lowered special defense Kingler had, and also lowered Kingler's special defense again.
"Use Brine," said Rex and Kingler used the move of choice which knocked out Ledian because of his low health.
"Ledian is unable to battle," said the referee, "Kingler wins."
"You battled bravely Ledian now take a good rest," said Nils as he returned Ledian, "Go Froslass," and Froslass was sent out. "Use Attract," and Froslass used the move that was decided which worked on Kingler who was a boy.
"Not good," said Rex, "Try to use Metal Claw," but Kingler couldn't attack because of the effect of Attract.
"Now use Shadow Ball," said Nils and Froslass used the selected attack which gave a lot of damage to Kingler whose special defense was still very low.

"You were great Kingler now rest well," said Rex as he returned Kingler, "Go Granbull," and Granbull was sent out. "Use Play Rough," and Granbull attacked Froslass with the decided move which lowered Froslass' special attack.
"Attract once more," said Nils and Froslass used another Attract which didn't work because Granbull is a girl.
"That's not gonna work this time Nils," said Rex, "Now use Crunch," and Granbull used the decided attack which gave Froslass a bunch of super effective damage and also lowered Froslass' defense.
"Use Ice Fang," said Nils and Froslass attacked Granbull with Ice Fang which made Granbull take damage and flinch. "Now use Ice Beam," and Froslass used the chosen move which gave some more damage to Granbull but not as much as usual, because of Play Rough, and Granbull also froze. "Now we're talking," said Nils, "Use Shadow Ball," and Froslass used the decided attack which gave more damage to Granbull whose special defense was lowered. "Now Ice Beam and Shadow Ball can do regular damage so in that case, use Ice Beam," and Froslass used the move of choice which gave Granbull more damage than last time.
"Come on Granbull," said Rex, "You gotta thaw out," and then, Granbull thawed as if she heard Rex. "Great, now use Crunch," and Granbull used another Crunch which gave Froslass more damage than last time because of the first Crunch and then Froslasses' defense was lowered again.

"Not again," said Rex.
"Now use Shadow Ball," said Nils and Froslass used the move of choice which knocked out Granbull.
"Granbull is unable to battle," said the referee, "Froslass wins."
"It's ok Granbull, I'm sure you would have won if you hadn't gotten frozen twice," Rex said to Granbull as he returned her, "Go Charizard," and Charizard was sent out. "Use Fire Punch," and Charizard used the move of choice which gave Froslass enough damage to knock her out, because the move was super effective and also because of the two Crunches.
"Froslass is unable to battle," said the referee, "Charizard wins."
"You did great Froslass you deserve a well needed rest," said Nils as he returned Froslass, "Go Grumpig," and Grumpig was sent out.
"Return Charizard," said Rex as he returned Charizard, "Go Electivire," and Electivire was sent out.

"He must know Grumpig's ability is Thick Fat," answered Firenze.
"Use Psychic," said Nils and Grumpig used the decided move which gave damage to Electivire.
"Thunder Punch," said Rex and Electivire attacked Grumpig with the chosen move which gave some damage to Granbull who also got paralyzed.

"Use Revenge," said Nils and after getting hit by Low Sweep, Machamp used Revenge which knocked out Electivire.
"Electivire is unable to battle," said the referee, "Machamp wins."
"Sorry I didn't have you use your Electric Type moves Electivire," apologized Rex, "I didn't want to risk paralyzing Machamp and activating its ability, Guts," and Electivire was returned. "Go Vileplume," and Vileplume was sent out, "Use Toxic," and Vileplume used the chosen move which poisoned Machamp and activated Guts.
"Use Dynamic Punch," said Nils and Machamp used the Guts boosted Dynamic Punch which missed Vileplume who dodged.
"Venoshock," said Rex and Vileplume started to use the chosen attack.

"Giga Drain, Vileplume," said Rex and Vileplume inflicted damage on Machamp by using the attack that was decided which also healed Vileplume by a lot.
"Use Dynamic Punch," said Nils and Machamp tried to use Dynamic Punch again which worked this time giving Vileplume a lot of damage and confusing it too.

"This has been a good battle Nils," said Rex as he returned Banette, "But it ends now, go Charizard," and Charizard was sent back out. "Use Flamethrower," and Charizard used the selected attack which missed Venusaur who dodged.
"Energy Ball," said Nils and Venusaur used the chosen move which didn't do that much damage because it wasn't that effective but Charizard's special defense did get lowered.
"Fire Punch," said Rex and Charizard used the selected attack which gave some super effective damage to Venusaur.
"Sludge Bomb while it's still close," said Nils and Venusaur attacked Charizard with the decided move which gave Charizard a lot of damage, because of Energy Ball, and Charizard also got poisoned.

"Use Energy Ball," said Nils and Venusaur used another Energy Ball which damaged Charizard while at the same time, Fire Punch damaged Venusaur.
After getting hit by Energy Ball and Fire Punch, Venusaur and Charizard were still ready to continue until Charizard took damage from the earlier poison and was knocked out.
"Charizard is unable to battle," said the referee, "Venusaur wins which means Nils wins the match."
Nils then went to Venusaur and hugged her because they had won their toughest battle yet.
"You were really good Nils," said Rex after he returned Charizard and walked over, "I'm sure you'll be good enough to win this tournament."
"Thanks Rex," said Nils as he returned Venusaur, "It's been a long journey but I'm glad that I made it this far."
As the group waited for Tana's match, a boy who was older than everyone except Firenze and had dark green hair and wore brown pants and a pink shirt walked over to the group.
"So I'll finally be battling you Tana," said the teenage boy.
"And you are," asked Nils.
"My name is Soren," answered the teenager, "And I'm the son of Sabrina."
"You're Sabrina's son," asked a surprised Tana.
"Sure am," answered Soren, "And when my mom told me that you won a badge from her, I've been looking forward to battling you to see what kind of power you have and now it's about to happen," and Soren then went to the battlefield.
"Good luck Tana," said Nils.
"Thanks Nils," said Tana and the two of them shared a fast kiss and Tana then went into the battlefield while the others went to the stand to watch.
