The game just made him walk off like nothing happened after that.
The raichu was also a monster in Aether paradise. I was surprised that he was a more useful battler than Gladion and even me when I tag teamed with him. His raichu was doing most of the work, his flareon went for a revenge quick attack the one time it got sent out, and his primarina's z move was one shoting.
It's the first time in one of the rival double battles that I've felt like the less competent one.
