Riku and Kirishima's battle goes on for...quite a while! Between Kirishima trying to set up Sandstorm and Riku trying to nullify it with Rain Dance, the audience is covered in a layer of wet sand by the end of it. People keep checking their watches as both sides lower each others attacks and raise their defenses. Eventually, however, Riku manages to outlast Kirishima, avoiding Earthquake through the smart usage of Magnet Rise and Levitate, and finally, finally, Kirishima's last Pokémon goes down. Props to him for holding out for so long!
