A Great Battle! The Earth-Piercing Flame

Liko and the others finally locate Entei in Area Zero. However, this Entei seems kind of different from normal Entei. Liko, Roy and Dot challenge it to a battle, getting help from Friede as well, but moves that should be effective against a Fire type like Entei aren't having much effect either?. But why...? And will Liko and the others manage to overcome Entei?
