Although Davis might have finally beaten his rival, he receives some bad news. When Davis returned to the Pokemon Center, all of his pokemon were bandaged up and appeared to be in bad shape. It wasn't looking good for any of them. He and all his friends, with Nymphix hiding away, were all really worried about them, but they knew the news can't be good.
"I'm sorry, Davis. I'm afraid all of your pokemon have suffered severe damage in your last battle. They need some rest for a couple days." Nurse Joy claimed.
"A couple days?! But the finals are tomorrow?!" Davis said.
"I'm sorry, but they need some rest. None of them are in any shape to battle tomorrow." Nurse Joy insisted. This wasn't good for Davis.

(Davis' voice): Tagging Out the Team
"Now what are you going to do?" Adrien asked. "Your battle against Leni is tomorrow, and none of your pokemon are in any condition to battle."
"I knew that battle with Jason wasn't going to be easy, but this puts you in quite a bind." Terra said.
"Is there anything we can do to help? Maybe we can all lend you a pokemon to battle with." Marinette offered.
"That wouldn't do any good. Our pokemon are nowhere near strong enough for a battle like tomorrow." Alya said. Nymphix wanted to help Davis out as well, but she didn't know how she could. Davis wasn't happy about this himself, but he's not too worried about it.
"Don't worry about it." Davis said. "I got tons of other pokemon all back with Professor Oak. I can just call him and put together a team for the finals."
"That's true. He's a lot of other pokemon all the way back in Kanto." Cletus said. "It might be last minute, but I'm sure all of them are willing and ready to battle for Davis."
"See? There's nothing to worry about." Davis said.
"Hold up." Imperialdramon said. "The battle tomorrow will be the finals. There's no way I'm missing out on that battle. That Nurse Joy doesn't know me. I'm good to..." He patted his own muscles, but his whole body twitched in pain.
"I believed you for about two seconds." Davis teased. Apparently, his other pokemon felt the same as they all tried to move, but they were all in great pain. "Guys, stop! As important as this battle might be, it's not worth it when you're all so hurt. Look at you guys. You all can barely move, let alone battle. As much as I like to battle in the finals with each of you, it's just not happening. You all get the rest you need." They were all rather upset that they can't battle in the finals, but there's really nothing they can do about it. It's frustrating, but Davis is just going to have to put together a new team.
...
The Next Day
"Welcome, everyone! Today is the day we crown the winner of the Grecko League! We've had a lot of trainers battle their way to the top, and these two are the ones left standing! Leni and Davis!" Both trainers came out on the field with everyone excited to see how this all plays out. They stood on opposing sides and were ready for this battle, but Leni noticed Imperialdramon wasn't there.
"Odd. Imperialdramon isn't standing with Davis. I guess he's too injured for this battle." Leni figured. "So, what kind of pokemon are you going to have ready for me, Davis?"
"I'm bummed that Davis' pokemon are too injured, but I can't wait to see what kind of other pokemon he has." Adrien said.
"You said it. This is going to be fun to see." Terra said.
"And now, the stage for this battle will be on rock field." A rock field came up and the stage was set. "Now, we wait to see what pokemon our trainers use."
"Charmeleon, let's go!" Davis called.
"Charmeleon!"
"Davis' first pokemon is Charmeleon. What pokemon will Leni use?"
"Lapras, come on out!" Leni called.
"La!"
"And Leni decides to go with Lapras. Lapras might have a hard time moving out of water, but we can't wait to see how Leni battles with it."
"Lapras might be an ice-type, but it's also a water-type." Cletus claimed. "This might be a tough match already."
"I'm sure Davis has a plan." Terra said for assurance.
"When both trainers are ready, the battle may begin!"
"Charmeleon, return!" Davis said with him surprising everyone. He already recalled his pokemon.
"What's this? Davis is switching pokemon already!"
"I didn't expect that." Adrien said. "I guess Davis isn't leaving too much to chance this time. He wants to win it."
"Hitmonlee, let's go!" Davis called.
"Hitmonlee!"
"And Davis switches out Charmeleon for Hitmonlee."
"Now we're ready for a battle. Hitmonlee, Double Kick!" Davis called and got the battle started. Hitmonlee ran straight for Lapras and got its legs ready for an attack.
"At least you're battling. Lapras, Water Pulse!" Leni called. Lapras formed a sphere of water and launched it right at Hitmonlee, but Hitmonlee was able to jump over the attack. With its surprising excellent leg movement, Hitmonlee was able to land both kicks against Lapras.
"Double Kick hits! That had to have done a lot of damage!"
"Nice! Let's use Double Kick one more time!" Davis said.
"I don't think so! Use Surf!" Leni called. Lapras generated a wave of water right where it's standing and smashed it against Hitmonlee with Hitmonlee being pushed back. Hitmonlee tried to fight back, but the current was too strong.
"Surf covers the entire field! Hitmonlee can't seem to resist!"
"Now use Sheer Cold!" Leni called.
"Hitmonlee, get out of there before it's too late!" Davis called. Lapras unleashed an intense wave of cold energy that was freezing all the water. If Hitmonlee gets caught in that, it's all over. However, Hitmonlee used one of the rocks and jumped high into the air just before Sheer Cold reached it.
"Hitmonlee managed to escape! Just in the nick of time!"
"Now use that jump for your High Jump Kick!" Davis called. Hitmonlee came straight down at Lapras and landed another powerful kick against Lapras. It looked like a powerful blow, and it was with Lapras getting knocked out.
"Lapras is unable to battle! Hitmonlee wins!"
"And Davis scores the first win!"
"Yes! He did it!" Terra said.
"That Hitmonlee has some serious leg power! Incredible!" Adrien said. "Just five more wins and Davis will win the Grecko League!"
"Not bad, Davis." Leni said with her bringing back Lapras. "You're using a different set of pokemon, but that doesn't mean you're going to win. Milotic, it's your turn!"
"Milotic!"
"Leni's next pokemon is Milotic, one of the most beautiful pokemon there is. We'll see if it does any better than Lapras did."
"It doesn't matter what kind of pokemon you use. We're going to win. Hitmonlee, High Jump Kick!" Davis called. Hitmonlee jumped up in the air and came down with a powerful kick for Milotic.
"That was pretty reckless. Dodge it!" Leni called. Milotic used its slender body and was able to slither out of the way with Hitmonlee crashing into the ground. Once that happened, Hitmonlee held his leg in great pain and rolled against the ground.
"Ouch! There's the drawback to when High Jump Kick misses!"
"Now use Disarming Voice!" Leni called. Milotic unleashed a powerful pink soundwave from its voice. The soundwave blasted against Hitmonlee and was powerful enough to blow Hitmonlee back and smashed it against a rock. "Now use Hydro Pump!" Milotic switched to a powerful blast of water. It hit Hitmonlee and it was so powerful that the rock behind Hitmonlee crumbled with Hitmonlee being pushed through it. After that, Hitmonlee was knocked out.
"Hitmonlee is unable to battle! Milotic wins!"
"That was one powerful Hydro Pump. It knocked Hitmonlee out of the battle and brought both trainers down to five pokemon."
"Hitmonlee, return. You were great." Davis said with him bringing Hitmonlee back in its pokeball. "Golduck, you're up next!"
"Golduck!"
"And Davis brings out Golduck as his third pokemon."
"Awesome! He's got a Golduck!" Terra said. "Since they're both water-types, their water-type attacks won't do much damage. That means Golduck can endure that Hydro Pump."
"Maybe, but that Milotic is still rather powerful, and has more than just water." Cletus said.
"Golduck, Slash!" Davis called. Golduck charged right at Milotic and slashed its claw against Milotic.
"We can't have that beautiful body of yours covered in scratches. Use Aqua Ring!" Leni called. Milotic formed rings of water around it. When that happened, the damage Milotic took from that attack was healing.
"Milotic is healing!" Adrien said.
"Aqua Ring will constantly heal Milotic. Davis better think of something or else this battle might take a while." Cletus claimed.
"Now use Iron Tail!" Leni called. Milotic hardened its tail and smashed it against Golduck, but Golduck was able to block the attack and was moved back. "Now use Hydro Pump!" Milotic attacked once again and unleashed that powerful blast of water once again.
"Use Confusion and send it back!" Davis called. Golduck used the power of its mind and was able to reflect the attack with Milotic getting hit by its own attack.
"Amazing! Golduck was able to use psychic power to send that powerful Hydro Pump back at Milotic!"
"And we're not done! Use Slash!" Davis called. Golduck closed the distance and slashed against Milotic, but Milotic's Aqua Ring was still healing it. "Let's finish this! Focus Punch at Full Power!"
"I won't let you! Use Iron Tail!" Leni called. Milotic attempted to stop Golduck before it uses its attack, but Golduck was able to avoid Milotic's attack. Then, Golduck gave Milotic a powerful uppercut that appeared to be a critical hit. It was powerful enough to knock Milotic out.
"Milotic is unable to battle! Golduck is the winner!"
"It's a knockout by Golduck!"
"Milotic, return." Leni said and brought Milotic back. "Pretty good, Davis. You've got some skill, but I've come too far to lose this. Let's take this battle to new heights. Braviary, let's go!"
"Brav!"
"And Leni is now taking this battle to the skies with her bringing Braviary out as her next pokemon."
"Braviary, attack with Superpower!" Leni called.
"Shoot it down with Water Gun!" Davis called. Golduck tried blasting Braviary with water, but Braviary was flying around every shot Golduck made. Surrounding its talons with energy, Braviary smashed them against Golduck and smashed Golduck against the ground.
"Nice work, Braviary! Now let's really have Golduck fly! Use Sky Drop!" Leni called. Braviary got a hold of Golduck and was flying straight up to the sky.
"Oh boy! Here comes Sky Drop! Once Braviary let's go of Golduck, we're looking at major damage!"
"Get out of there, Golduck!" Davis called. Golduck tried to get free from Braviary's hold, but Braviary had a tight grip on Golduck and Golduck couldn't get free. As Braviary was flying higher and higher, everyone was worried that Golduck was going to take major damage. Once Braviary was high enough, it just simply let go of Golduck and Golduck began to plummet. As soon as Golduck hits the ground, we're looking at massive damage being done. "Golduck, aim Water Gun at the ground! Use your full power!" With a strange command, Golduck fired Water Gun straight at the ground, but Golduck still crashed into it. "Golduck!" They thought that might have been the end of it, but they all saw Golduck was still standing. "Yes!"
"Golduck was able to withstand Sky Drop!"
"How?!" Terra said.
"Golduck's Water Gun was propelling Golduck in the opposite direction, so it caused the speed of the descent to drop!" Cletus said.
"That's what Davis was going for! Who would have thought of that?!" Marinette said with all of them thinking it was ingenious.
"Not bad, but Golduck did suffer some damage, and this will end it! Use Crush Claw!" Leni called. Braviary descended straight down and smashed its talon into Golduck. That attack was enough to end the battle right there.
"Golduck is unable to battle! Braviary is the winner!"
"An impressive show by Golduck, but Golduck still wouldn't withstand Braviary's might. Now, what pokemon will Davis use next?" Davis brought Golduck back to its pokeball and got his next pokemon ready.
"I've got to say that you're a pretty tough trainer, Leni, but the tougher our opponent's are, the harder we battle. Charmeleon, you're back in!" Davis called.
"Charmeleon!"
"And Davis brings back his Charmeleon, and I think it's here to stay and battle this time."
"Since water didn't work, you're trying fire. It makes no difference! Use Crush Claw!" Leni called. Braviary flew straight down at Charmeleon with its talons ready to strike. Charmeleon and Davis just stood there and let it come.
"What are they waiting for?! Charmeleon needs to move!" Terra said as they are cutting it quite close. However, Davis waited for the right moment.
"Now! Charmeleon use Flamethrower!" Davis called. Charmeleon breathed out its fire and blasted Braviary when it was close enough. It was timed perfectly.
"Oh! Braviary is feeling the burn with that Flamethrower!"
"Nicely done, but not good enough! Switch to using Sky Drop!" Leni called. Braviary surprised Davis and Charmeleon by pushing through the flames and grabbed a hold of Charmeleon to lift it high up and then drop it.
"I don't think so! Use Inferno!" Davis called. Charmeleon turned up the heat even more. Charmeleon unleashed a powerful blue flame and blasted Braviary. The flames were so strong that Braviary was forced to let Charmeleon go and it was high enough for Charmeleon to land on its feet. Even when the flames subsided, Braviary was still taking damage from a serious burn.
"Oh no! The additional effects of Inferno are taking effect. Braviary is suffering from burn damage now!"
"Hang in there, Braviary!" Leni encouraged, but Braviary was taking a lot of damage from the burn.
"Now use Metal Claw!" Davis called. Charmeleon hardened its claws and jumped right at Braviary with Charmeleon giving Braviary a powerful slash. The slash, as well as the burn damage, was strong enough to knock Braviary out of the battle.
"Braviary is unable to battle! Charmeleon wins!"
"Braviary isn't flying so high anymore. Now, Leni is down to just three of her pokemon while Davis is one up with him having four."
"He's doing great! All of his other pokemon are just as amazing as the ones he used before!" Adrien said.
"Only three more wins and Davis will win the Grecko League!" Terra said as this was getting exciting for them.
"That might be true, but I wouldn't count Leni out just yet." Cletus said. "She seems to know how make the most out of her pokemon. Even though Davis appears to be winning, Leni's pokemon are rather strong. It's not going to be easy defeat those last three. Leni didn't earn her spot here for nothing." Cletus had a point. Even if Leni is down to just three pokemon, she still has a chance to win this. This battle is far from over.
Even though Davis had to come in with a brand new team of pokemon at the last minute, he is able to hold his own against Leni. Will his luck holdout and he will win the Grecko League? Stay tuned to find out.
