Sinnoh League Smash pt. 3

 

Outside of the stadium Nao walks out seriously looking as the various people in the crowd talk among themselves, before looking at her and watching her stunned.

            "Well of course their amazed by me, I'm one of the best trainers here."

            "That was amazing Nao." Egil says rushing up to her. "You finished that battle really quick."

            "Well of course." Nao says embarrassed by his praise. "I'm one of the strongest trainers here."

            "Well I wouldn't say that." Tamia says walking up to the pair alongside Balin. "You haven't seen my battle yet."

            "Well what about my battle?"

            "It was okay, but mine will be much better." Tamia says boasting.

            "When is your match?" Egil asks curiously.

            "Well mine will be happening soon to." Egil says nervously.

            "Well perk up, you've gotta get pumped for your match."

            "I guess."

            "Well whatever." Nao says seriously as she starts walking off. "I might watch your battles, just to stake out the competition."

            "Well y'all better get ready for a fascinating battle." Tamia yells out annoyed.

            "Well your still beautiful my lady." Balin says handing Tamia a rose.

            "Yeah yeah." Tamia says walking off.

 

A while later Egil and Balin watch from the stands with Nao watching from the stairs as Tamia stands in the middle of a stadium opposite a small girl in a large dress, with a barren flat field.

            "I feel sorry, but I can't go easy on ya just because you're a kid." Tamia says looking at her opponent.

            "What, I'm not a kid." The girl says annoyed. "I might be older than you, ya fatty."

            "Fatty!" Tamia yells out shocked. "Okay then no holding back my punches."

The judge then signals the start of battle before the pair throw out their Poke'balls with an Ampharos and a Cloyster popping out.

            "Let's do this Amp." Tamia says excitedly.

            "We might have a type disadvantage, but that doesn't mean we'll back down." The girl says seriously. "Cloyster, Spikes."

Cloyster shoots out a series of spikes out onto the battlefield in front of Ampharos.

            "Be careful Amp those might cause some problems." Tamia says to Ampharos who looks back at her seriously. "Now charge in and use Discharge."

Ampharos charges in stepping onto the spikes occasionally causing it to wince in pain, before jumping into the air and unleashing a large blast of electricity all over hitting Cloyster before it shakes off the attack, by retreating into its shell.

            "Is that all my Cloyster's shell is tougher than stone a simple blast of electricity won't affect it." The girl says boasting. "Now Cloyster, Icicle Spear."

Cloyster shoots out large spikes of ice out at Ampharos as it attempts to dodge the attacks but ends up stepping on the spikes slowing it down before the ice spikes slam into it knocking it down into more spikes.

            "Amp, Power Gem."

Ampharos forces itself back onto its feet before unleashing a series of stones out at Cloyster, with the attack seemingly having no effect.

            "Is that all, Cloyster finish them off with Icicle Spear."

            "Amp, Thunderbolt."

Cloyster gets ready to launch out more icy spikes, before it can Ampharos lets out a more focused blast of electricity aimed at a spot on Cloyster's shell.

            "What's going on?" The girl asks curiously, as she looks on she sees one of the stones from earlier lodged into Cloyster's shell with electricity pumping into it shocking it. "How did that happen?"

            "The stones from Power Gem are harder than diamonds when focused, so we launched out a hard one among a few duds."

Suddenly Cloyster falls to the ground knocked out from the constant electricity.

            "All right Amp!"

The girl returns Cloyster to its Poke'ball before grabbing another one and looking out at Tamia seriously.

            "I didn't think I would have to go all out so soon." The girl says seriously. "I underestimated you fatty."

            "Stop calling me fatty!"

            "Whatever, now then my precious Gabite take them out."

The girl throws out the Poke'ball with a Gabite popping out and crashing into the ground before roaring out intensely, as the judge signals the start of battle.

            "Now Gabite, Sandstorm."

Gabite stomps around unleashing a large torrent of sand around the arena blocking everyone's vision and causing the sand to blast into Ampharos.

            "Amp, don't let the sand distract you use Discharge."

Ampharos unleashes a blast of electricity over the arena shocking Gabite with the attack having no effect.

            "Don't you know anything?" The girl asks mockingly. "Gabite's a Dragon/Ground type, that means that no electric attacks will work on it."

            "That's right Ground types aren't effected by Electric type attacks." Tamia says realizing things. "But did you says it was a Dragon type?"

            "Yes and here's a sample of that Gabite, Dragon Claw."

Gabite charges in through the sandstorm appearing in front of Ampharos, attempting to claw at it and causing Ampharos to run off in fear.

            "Don't be scared Amp, use Dragon Pulse."

Ampharos turns around and focuses before unleashing a blast of energy out at Gabite hitting it and knocking it into the wall behind it's trainer, knocking it out.

            "Gabite is unable to battle, Tamia is the winner." The judge says signaling the end of battle.

            "I lost to a fatty." The girl says dejected.

            "Good job Amp, I told you it wouldn't be so scary." Tamia says petting Ampharos.

Meanwhile in the stands the group looks on seriously before cheering for her victory.

            "That was impressive." Egil says happily.

            "Yes she was quite marvelous." Balin says looking down at her. "If I had to say she'd be my number one pick."

            "Well she does have some minor skills, but she does need refinement." Nao says appearing next to the pair, before looking onto Egil. "Now let's see if your battle will be any good."

 

A while later Egil alongside his Mawile stands around nervously in the middle of a stadium with a rock covered field, with Nao, Tamia, and Balin looking down at him among the crowd as his opponent a short man with black hair and glasses looks on him seriously.

            "So then are you ready?" The man asks curiously. "Because if you're not you might as well forfeit now and save me some time."

Egil stands around shaking before Mawile starts yelling at him and he stops shaking.

            "Your right Wile, I've got to do this I can't back down now." Egil says determined petting Mawile who grins happily. "You worked hard yesterday so just sit back and relax today."

The judge walks forward and signals the start of battle before both opponents throw out their Poke'balls onto the field with Claydol and a Manectric popping out from them.

            "Well the match has just begun and you've already lost." The man says boasting. "You can't win a match against a Ground type with a Electric type, now Claydol Earth Power."

Claydol floats up causing the ground to shake harshly as Manectric jumps around trying to avoid the attack.

            "Now Rai, Snarl."

Manectric jumps up before roaring sending a wave of dark energy out before it slams into Claydol and knocks it down.

            "What the?"

            "It's more than just type advantage, it's strategy and the bond between trainer and Pokémon." Egil says seriously. "And me and my Pokémon have a stronger bond then yours."

            "Well you are correct about strategy, I wasn't expecting you to have a Dark type attack on your Pokémon." The man says boasting. "But this talk about bonds is worthless, Claydol Self-Destruct."

Claydol floats into the air before nearly reaching Manectric, who tries rushing away from it, before exploding causing a large blast in the middle of the stadium kicking up a ton of dust. As the dust settles Claydol lays down on the ground unconscious as Manectric hides behind a large rock almost completely avoiding the attack.

            "Well I'm surprised you've managed to survive that attack, but your Pokémon is almost done for, if I were you I'd consider switching."

Egil looks at Manectric who looks back at its trainer seriously.

            "No, Rai wants to keep fighting."

            "Well then I won't disappoint it." The man says pulling out a Poke'ball. "Come on Cryogonal."

The man throws out the Poke'ball before a large Cryogonal pops out and begins floating in the air and yelling out seriously.

            "Now let's end this." The man says seriously. "Cryogonal, Ice Shard."

Cryogonal spins around before unleashing a barrage of ice out at Manectric as it hides behind the rock as the ice chips away at it.

            "Wait for it, wait for it." Egil says  to himself as he watches the assault as before noticing Cryogonal slowing down. "Now Manectric, Flamethrower."

Manectric rushes out from behind the rock dodging the ice before jumping up above Cryogonal and unleashing a blast of fire from its mouth and hitting Cryogonal dead center knocking it out.

            "What the, how is that possible?"

            "Cryogonal's weakspot is it's center the best way to beat it is to wait for an opening and then unload on it."

            "So I lost to your strategy?"

            "Well I did have to trust in Rai to do the maneuvering in order to make the attack work."

            "So I lost to your supposed bond in the end." The man says as he starts leaving the stadium. "Don't you dare lose, the trainer that beat me better make it to the end of this tournament and take on the champion."

            "Yes." Egil says with a large grin on his face.

 

Meanwhile outside the stadium the woman sits around eating ice cream and watching the battle on the stadium screen.

            "So then he's quite good, but I wouldn't call him the favorite to win." The woman says as she looks at Egil on the large screen. "But he is a contender though."
