Ash chose {{AP|Corphish}} for the match. Anabel had the ability to telepathically communicate with her Pokémon and give commands without saying a word. In the end, Alakazam easily defeated {{p|Corphish}}. Alakazam then went on to defeat [[Ash's Tauros]] before finally being defeated by his {{AP|Pikachu}}, but not before weakening it.
 
In ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm!]]'', Ash had a rematch with Anabel. Again, she chose Alakazam as her first Pokémon.

Rhyperior proved to be a very tough opponent, being able to withstand Grotle's attacks due to its [[Ability]] and giving the Grove Pokémon a very tough time. However the tables seemed to turn when Rhyperior forced Grotle to swallow an {{m|Energy Ball}}, giving it a major power boost. Using this Grotle was able to cause significant damage to Rhyperior, but Grotle was simply unable to stand up to the massive attack power of Rhyperior and was defeated.

Trivia

  • Though the word "tycoon" is actually derived from the Japanese word 大君 taikun (a title for the shogun), it is converted into katakana as an English term to match the names of the other Frontier Brains' Trainer classes, rather than using the hiragana たいくん or its respective katakana タイクン (without the lengthening chōonpu).
