"Golurk, use Hammer Arm!" Davis called. Golurk attacked as it smashed its arms down like a hammer on his opponent and knocked it out.

"Ariados is unable to battle, which means that Davis is the winner!" The ref declared.

"With Davis winning with his Charmeleon and Golurk, he is moving on to the third round."

"Oh yeah!" Davis called.

The second round of the Centros League is underway. Davis managed to defeat Shade in the first round, and managed to win another battle. He isn't the only one either. Flint, Nathan, and Keen have all advanced through the first round. With the second round underway, we'll soon know who else is advancing to the third round.

A new adventure, another day

One more challenge that comes our way

Its up to me and you

I know what we've got to do

We are together now

Friends forever now

Whatever comes our way, we won't run away

Standing tall

And one for all

It's our destiny

Pokemon

(Davis' voice) Standing for the Right

"With that win, you're well on your way to the third round." Cletus said.

"You mean I'm on my way to winning the whole thing." Davis said.

"It's a little early for you to be getting confident." Tetsu said. "You still got a long way to go before you win the whole thing and the tougher competitors are still going to make it through."

"And I say bring them on." Davis said as he was feeling rather confident in himself.

"Yeah. Bring them on." Imperialdramon said with a second one copying his movements. "What?! Two of me!" That was when the second one transformed into Zorua and couldn't stop laughing. "Zorua!"

"Sorry about that." Keen said as he came over with Zorua climbing up to his shoulder. "Zorua just loves to pull little tricks like that."

"Hey, Keen. Is your match going start soon?" Davis said.

"Sure is, and I'm the one that's going to win it." Keen claimed. "You better wait for me in the third round, Davis. I'm the one who is going to win it and keep winning." That's what Keen is saying, but they heard some laughter happening.

"Yeah right." They all looked to see a big guy with navy blue pants and vest with a grey shirt and had dark brown messy hair with part of it tied back. "The likes of you has no business being here, let alone win the Centros League."

"Who is he?" Davis questioned.

"I think that's who Keen is going to battle against." Cletus said.

"What do you mean I have no business being here?" Keen questioned. "Just who are you?"

"The name is Grod, and I'm clearly the one who is going to win. I've heard about you and your Alola. The likes of you has no business being in the Centros League, so just go back to your island." He said with him being smug and obnoxious and they all instanly didn't like him with such accusations.

"First of all, my grandfather is from Alola. I wasn't born there, but I have been there." Keen claimed. "Second, what does it matter to you if I'm from Alola? I have every right to be here as you do."

"A real trainer from Centros is meant to win this league. I'll show that after I beat you back to the island you came from." He said as he got up and walked away.

"What a jerk. That was completely uncalled for." Tetsu said.

"Keen, don't lose to that jerk." Davis said.

"Wasn't planning on it." Keen said as he wants to win a lot more now.

...

The Battlefield

"The next match of the second round is about to commence." Everyone came to see this one with Davis, Flint, and Nathan watching from the trainers section while Cletus, Tetsu, and Shade watched from the stands. "The next match is between Keen and Grod." The two of them came out. After what happened earlier, Keen really doesn't want to lose to this guy. "We will now see which battle this will be." The spinner rotated around until it landed 2x2. "This battle will now be two-on-two. We now wait to see what pokemon they will be using."

"I'll show you who is really going to win this." Grod said.

"Don't bet on it." Keen said. "Let's get this started. Vikavolt, let's go!"

"Vikavolt!"

"Snorlax, let's put this guy in his place!" Grod said as he chose his pokemon.

"Snorlax!"

"It's Vikavolt vs. Snorlax in this battle. Let the battle now begin!"

"Let's not lose to them! Vikavolt, X-Scissor!" Keen called. Vikavolt flew straight at Snorlax and tried attacking it, but Snorlax was able to deflect the attack using it's belly. "What the heck?!"

"Vikavolt just bounced off of Snorlax like a trampoline. That's going to be a problem."

"That Snorlax has some defense." Flint said.

"Yeah. This might not be easy." Nathan said.

"No way Keen is losing to that jerk. Take him down, Keen!" Davis called.

"Snorlax, show them they're way over their head. Use Heavy Slam!" Grod ordered. Snowlax coated itself with energy and smashed right against Vikavolt with it looking like it really hurt.

"Heavy Slam smashes right into Vikavolt! That looked like it hurt!"

"That did look like it caused a lot of damage." Tetsu said.

"Heavy Slam does more damage the more the user outweighs the opponent." Shade said. "Poor Vikavolt doesn't stand much of a chance against an attack like that since Snorlax is one of the largest and heaviest pokemon there is."

"Vikavolt, Charge Beam!" Keen called. Vikavolt charged power and fired a beam of electricity that blasted Snorlax.

"Snorlax, let's finish this already. Use Belly Drum to power yourself up!" Grod called. Snorlax started playing it's own belly and power started coursing through it.

"What's Belly Drum?" Davis questioned.

"It raises a pokemon's power, but it weakens them at the same time." Nathan explained. "He's planning to end this in one shot."

"Let's finish this with Heavy Slam!" Grod said as Snorlax was charging right at Vikavolt.

"Not this time! Acrobatics!" Keen called. Vikavolt glowed a little and moved with incredible speed as it avoided the attack and smashed right into Snorlax's head. "Now use X-Scissor!" Vikavolt slashed its jaws against Snorlax and dealt some damage in the same spot. "Finish this with Charge Beam!" Vikavolt blasted Snorlax with a powerful attack and did some real damage.

"Three consecutive attacks! That looked like it did some real damage!" Snorlax ended up collapsing and dropped to the ground.

"Snorlax is unable to battle!" The ref called.

"No way!" Grod called.

"Yeah! Way to go, Keen!" Davis called.

"That will show that jerk!" Tetsu said as they all liked that.

"I see... It aimed a couple attacks at Snorlax's head where it's defenses were weaker. Pretty good." Nathan said.

"With Snorlax's defeat, Grod has only one pokemon left." Grod brought Snorlax back to its pokeball and was most upset now.

"Still think I don't belong here?" Keen said.

"I still got one pokemon left and that's all I need. Victreebel, take them down!" Grod called.

"Aww!"

"And Victreebel is Grod's second pokemon. Can he pull a comeback with it?"

"A grass-type going against a bug-type? That's not a good match." Flint said. "He knows Vikavolt can also use Acrobatics, a flying-type move."

"I was hoping to see Zorua battle, but I guess that isn't going to happen here." Davis said as he was a bit disappointed.

"Let's end this, Vikavolt!" Keen said as Vikavolt was ready to attack.

"Not this time! Use Vine Whip and give it a good thrashing!" Grod said. Vitreebel stretched out its vine and managed to get it around Vikavolt. When that happened, Victreebel smashed Vikavolt right against the ground. It didn't stop there. Victreebel just kept thrashing Vikavolt around, smashing it against the ground with damage being dealt.

"Uh-oh. It looks Vikavolt could be in trouble with this one. Victreebel keeps thrashing Vikavolt around, smashing it against the ground. It doesn't look like it's going to let go either."

"Put them in their place with Sludge Bomb!" Grod ordered. Victreebel fired sludge right at Vikavolt and blasted it with some real damage being dealt. Vitreebel threw Vikavolt away with Vikavolt hitting the ground.

"Vikavolt is unable to battle!" The ref declared.

"It's all even now. Both sides have only one pokemon left." Keen brought back Vikavolt, but he refuses to be defeated by the likes of Grod.

"Have you learned your lesson yet or do I have to beat your pokemon around some more?" Grod taunted.

"The battle isn't over yet. Go, Zorua!" Keen ordered.

"Ar!" Zorua ran out on the field.

"Zorua is Keen's last pokemon."

"We finally get to see Zorua in action." Tetsu said.

"But will it be enough?" Shade wondered.

"Victreebel, teach them a lesson by using Vine Whip!" Grod ordered.

"Dodge it and use Fury Swipes!" Keen ordered. Vitreebel stretched out it's vine, but Zorua was able to avoid it and closed the distance. When Zorua was close enough, it started scratching against Victreebel. "Now use Shadow Claw!" Zorua formed a shadow around its paw and used it to slash against Victreebel.

"That is one nimble Zorua. Zorua moves around Victreebel's attacks and constantly scratches it with Fury Swipes and Shadow Claw."

"Get that thing away from you by using Leaf Tornado!" Grod ordered. Vitreebel shot out a tornado of leaves and green energy. Zorua got hit by the attack and was being blown around by the attack. "Now use Sludge Bomb!"

"Zorua, dodge it!" Keen ordered. Vitreebel tried firing sludge at Zorua, but Zorua was able to straighten itself out and avoided each attack thrown at it. "Now use Copycat!" Zorua jumped in the air in purple energy and fired Sludge Bomb right at Victreebel, giving it a taste of it's own medicine.

"Did Zorua just use Sludge Bomb?!" Tetsu questioned.

"Copycat is an attack that copies the opponent's last attack." Cletus said.

"What are you doing, Victreebel? Don't just take it. Fight back by grabbing it with Vine Whip!" Grod said. Victreebel stretched out it's vine and tried to grab it.

"Use Shadow Claw!" Keen ordered with Zorua slashing the attack away. "Now use Fury Swipes!" Zorua went at Victreebel and scratched against it again.

"Victreebel, don't lose to these guys! There's no way they can get the better of us." Grod said.

"I've had it with this guy. Let's finish this!" Keen said as he got his Z-Ring ready with a Z-Crystal and Zorua trying to copy his movements.

"What's this?! Is Keen using a Z-Move?!"

"Oh yeah!" Davis and Imperialdramon as they were going to like this.

"Let's go at them with great speed and greater power! Use Breakneck Blitz!" Keen called. Zorua was surrounded by power as Zorua charged right at Victreebel with incredible power and no stopping it. All Zorua did was tackle Victreebel. It was like getting hit by a shooting star as Victreebel was sent flying and crashed right into the wall and was taken out with that one hit.

"Victreebel is unable to battle! Zoura wins and that means that Keen is the winner!" The ref declared.

"We now have our winner with it being Keen!"

"We did it! We really won, Zorua!" Keen called as the two of them hopped around with Grod dropping down all fours with him in disbelief that he lost to the likes of Keen.

"That had some power behind it!" Shade said.

"That must be the normal-type Z-Move. Since Zorua can use Fury Swipes, a normal-type attack, it could use it." Cletus clarified.

"Whatever works. Keen still won." Tetsu said.

"Yeah, Keen!" Davis cheered.

"That was awesome. I didn't know he could do something like that." Flint said.

"It is impressive, but it's time to focus for our battles." Nathan said as the second round still needed to be wrapped up. The second round continued on with Flint and Nathan taking part in their battles.

"Typhlosion, Flame Wheel!" Flint ordered with Typhlosion beating a Primeape.

"Garchomp, Scale Shot!" Nathan ordered as his Garchomp shot some scales at Rhyperior and beat it. That meant all four were advancing to the third round.

"We now have our top sixteen trainers. With that, we will now show who will be facing who in the third round." The pairins were being shuffled around once again to see who will battle who next. One of the matches ended up being Nathan vs. Davis.

"Check it out! I'm going against Nathan next!" Davis said.

"Looks like we're getting that battle after all." Nathan said. "You said we had a score to settle, and it looks like that time is here."

"It sure is, and I'm the one that's going to win it." Davis said. He's got another great battle ahead of him and he's sure he'll be able to win this one.

The Centros League has proven to be a great tournament. With the third round soon to come, Davis is now going to face the battle he's been waiting for against Nathan. Which one of these trainers will be the one that wins it and advances to the top eight? We'll find out soon enough.
