66

Ilima instructs the group on the rules of Pokémon Ping-Pong while preparing for a tournament where he aims to defeat the previous champion, Ikari. The two trainers employ contrasting methods, with Ilima prioritizing consideration for his partner and Ikari utilizing an aggressive approach. During the decisive match, Ikari’s harsh treatment of his Mienshao causes a breakdown in their coordination. This error allows Ilima and his Smeargle to capitalize on the situation, securing the victory and settling Ilima’s long-standing rivalry with Ikari.
