During the battle, Rald wins by forfeit as Enta did not want to see his Vulpix getting hurt. In ''[[CBF4|Introducing the Frontier Brains]]'', it is revealed that he lost a match with one of the Frontier Brains which motivated Enta to find the one who was responsible for this. In ''[[CBF6|Final Battle: Versus The Salon Maiden]]'', Rald has one last battle with Enta before Enta challenges [[Salon Maiden Anabel|Anabel]] as his last Frontier challenge.
