Initially the battle went well as Edmund's Seismitoad's speed made it hard for Stephan's Sawk to hit it. The two Pokémon began having a rally of heavy blows, trying to stop one another but it wasn't until Stephan's Sawk successfully hit it with a Low Sweep and injured it a bit, that Edmund's Seismitoad's speed decreased. Edmund noted that with its speed, it should be able to dodge attacks but the injury proved to be the turning point in the match and Stephan's Sawk was able to Bulk Up and then finished it with a Close Combat. With the loss, Edmund was eliminated from the Don George Donamite Tournament by Stephan in the first round.
