This is the tenth regular chapter of the Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY! manga.
Plot
Manabu moves onto the semi-finales where he is paired against Kira Tamagomine, who imminently introduces himself as the the runner-up of the previous championship. After that, he flaunts that he is the strongest thanks to his powerful cards that he obtained thanks to his riches. Manabu is not impressed and continues to play normally. Kira stalls while he attempts to get a rainbow energy to use for his Dragonite EX. Upon doing so, he knocks out two of Manabu's Pokémon putting him at a disadvantage.
Manabu appears to be in despair, but plays a Wobbuffet which Kira mocks for not being an EX Pokémon. However, Manabu explains that a card not being an EX does not mean it is useless. In this case, the Wobbuffet has the ability Bide Barricade, which prevents all abilities for non-psychic Pokémon. This throws off Kira's strategy, who is unable to recover and as a result loses the match. Afterward, Kira rethinks about using a deck with only Pokémon EX and thanks Manabu for the fun game. Kira then states how it was much better than the finales of the previous championship, where his opponent was merciless. Said opponent, Arashi Kaijō, appears behind them amused by the fact that Manabu is his next opponent. Kira then asks Manabu to avenge all the players Arashi has inflicted pain and suffering on.
