I hate spoiling this for you, but yes she does against her own
will because Cyrus blackmails her by saying if she doesn't kill
Hereta, then he'll kill her favorite Evee. this was probably one of
the most tense moments in the story line because it's the first
life or death match against Mitsumi and Hereta
if you wanna know who wins keep reading....
In the end after Mitsumi completely smokes Hereta, she still has
an overwhelming emotion of guilt, so thus gives up and allows
Hereta to win because she wishes not to kill him along with his
Pokemon.
