It would seem he wants to keep showing he's stronger to try to encourage his brother to be stronger.

...

Really stupid move there on big bro's part. I'm just saying. He drove his own younger brother away to try to make him stronger. And now he's trying to crush our charmander, possibly because he thinks his brother should be hanging out with a "better crowd?" This isn't exactly the best way to heal the rift he caused between himself and Kracker, I'm just saying. Unless, of course, he wants to end the match quickly in hopes of having Kracker have to face him, instead and show just how strong he's become. That could be a possibility. Still think it's a jerk move, and one that will cost him, assuming that our charmander here is clever enough to endure and exploit it.

Very complex, not quite sure what Tarrant is doing here. Is he hiding his own weakness behind shows of strength. Does he think if he's a victor he won't need to face his own inner weakness? Does Kraker remind him of it?

Let's see what Cole can do here!
