Hit Points, Physical Attack,
Physical Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed: Those exist in
every Pokémon. Using them masterfully along with the right item, ability,
typing, move set, mechanic, team balance, care and love, and of course brilliant
thinking mid battle will lead the trainer into victory!
August 29,
2019- The final day of the Pokémon League. Miakko and Shirr took the two prior
days to relax and have fun before the intense match they are going to have.
This means… I had to suffer. Shirr's "relaxation" was to have eleven
hours of sex session with her future husband. And I had no choice but to look
at her so I won't miss any crucial information. Jokes on me! Aside from sayings
such as "I want you to be the mother of my future children!" and
"I'm coming!!!!!" only to get into another erection right away, I got
nothing. It was brutal and those two days were some of the worst days in my
life. At least when I watched Miakko I didn't suffer. But aside from hanging
out with her parents, and Matoi which I noticed the two were hanging out more
than the usual, it wasn't anything worth to tell about. Not that I have anyone
to talk to anyway…
The match
was about to start. GYM Leaders Sabrina and Surge were watching at the upcoming
match. "So those two girls are our target?" Surge asked.
"Yeah.
We must make them pay."
"Surge!
Sabrina!" Lance noticed them. "You are alive! I've thought you were dead!
You went missing after Divoc started, and nobody knew your whereabouts. Where
have you been?"
"We
had some business." Sabrina answered.
"For
two years? You two could have said at least something."
"Yeah
you are right." Surge said. "By the way, how is Clair doing?"
"Clair
is dead."
"I'm
so sorry to hear that-" Sabrina's words were ignored once Lance saw Hassel
breaking another table.
Waiareas
and Ryu were cheering for Miakko. Alicia came as well. Ben decided that he will
babysit on their newborn daughter Ashley so his wife could watch his wife's
adopted daughter for over than ten years. While it is obvious that Katsuya and
Sayoko will cheer for Shirr, Brazle wasn't so sure to whom to cheer for. From
the beginning she believed that she will cheer for Miakko, but after Shirr
defeated her she gained appreciation and admiration for her.
Miakko and
Shirr greeted each other, and said obvious things such as 'I wanted to battle
you for so long' and 'I won't lose', and the match started.
Shirr
summoned her Crobat, while Miakko summoned her Toxtricity. "Zen
Headbutt!" Shirr ordered. The move did a lot of damage, but still didn't
defeat yet the ugly electric frog. Miakko ordered her ugly frog to use to use
Overdrive, which was able to defeat Crobat due the STAB and the type advantage.
Shirr
summoned her Kleavor, the bug type with its sharp axes as hands.
'A Stealth
Rock is coming.' Miakko was thinking. 'But it won't work on me!' Miakko
summoned her Espeon "Espeon's Ability, Magic Bounce, will negate it!'
Kleavor
used its move, and the Stealth Rocks appeared on Miakko's side on field. Espeon
was damaged as well. "Just as planned!" Shirr smiled.
"What…
just happened?" Miakko didn't understand what is going on. "Why do I
have Stealth Rock on my side of the field?! Magic Bounce was supposed to
reflect the move back to you!"
"That's
because I've used Stone Axe. It is a damaging move with a side effect of
summoning Stealth Rock." Magic Bounce reflects only Status moves, but not
damaging moves.
Miakko was
in shock "…Since when?"
"'Since
When?' An interesting question."
"Just
answer! I'm asking since when you had this move on your move set!"
"Then
I'll ask you; since when you were under the impression that I didn't have this
move?" She answered to Miakko as she was starting to grasp what she did.
"Your Charizard is clearly the single strongest Pokémon that all of the
trainers in this League have. I'll have to admit; I don't think I can defeat it
on a direct battle. Your Charizard's biggest weakness is Stealth Rock; losing
half of it Hit Points when being hit by it. But I also knew about your Espeon
as a way to overcome this weakness. Therefore I had to use Stealth Rock against
Sayoko and Brazle so you would think that's the move I have and you'll try to
prepare for it, while you can't."
Miakko was
silent for twenty seconds and then got excited "Shirr! That's amazing!
You've planned our battle for so long. That's a strategy of a true
champion!"
"Thanks!
Let's continue!"
"Psychic!"
Miakko ordered her Espeon to deal some damage before it faints. It wasn't
enough to defeat the bug, but did a nice damage. Shirr ordered her Kleavor to
use X-Scissor and defeated the Espeon.
Miakko
summoned her Krookodile. It was damaged by the Stealth Rock. Miakko ordered it
to use Earthquake. The cool crocodile defeated the axe bug. "Krookodile's
ability activates! Moxie! It increases it Physical Attack once it defeats a
Pokémon!" Miakko called.
Shirr
summoned her Walrein. Krookodile attacked again with Earthquake with even
higher attack force. It was so close to defeat Walrein but it missed short the
kill. Walrein was ordered to use Surf, and by that, defeating it.
Miakko's
next Pokemon was Toxtricity. "Overdrive!!!" Miakko ordered it to use
the electric type move. And by so, the Walrein was defeated.
"Miakko,
how does it feel, being at the finals? I'm glad that you are my final
opponent." Shirr said.
"It
is exciting, my blood pressure is high. But it is also sad." Miakko
answered.
"Sad?
Why?"
"Because
my journey is very close to end."
"Yeah…
I will miss you. That's why I'm going to give you the best battle as I can.
Thanks to you I've returned to be trainer, which led me to meet Katsuya. I have
so much to tell you before you go but then… there is him."
"Yeah…
him… he doesn't let people talk during the matches…"
Lance
glared at them; waiting for them to stop talking and continue the match.
"Lance
you need to calm down." Hassel said. "Let's do a therapy. Here, break
a table."
"I'll
break your bones first!"
"I
summon you! Infernape!" Shirr called.
"Overdrive!"
Miakko called. She hoped to do as much damage as she can before her frog
faints. Shirr ordered her ugly monkey to use Calm Mind. The monkey moved first
and increased its Special Attack and Special Defense stats, which by doing so
it lowered the damage from Overdrive. On the next phase Shirr's monkey attacked
with flamethrower and defeated the frog.
Miakko's
next Pokémon was her Chandelure. It was damaged by the Stealth Rock as well.
Shirr's ugly monkey attacked first with Thunder Punch, but it wasn't enough to
defeat Chandelure. "Psychic!" Miakko ordered and defeated Infernape
with the Super Effective move.
"Go!
Maushold!" Shirr summoned her family of mice.
"Oh
those are those Pokémon! The mice that are in incest relationship." Matoi
said.
'Shut up
Matoi' the mother Maushold showed a note.
"Shadow
Claw!" Shirr ordered and Chandelure was defeated.
Miakko's
next Pokémon was her Tsareena. Miakko didn't know much about Maushold aside
from the fact it is a Normal type, and it is faster than her Tsareena, but she
believed she can endure a hit and defeat it with a fighting type move.
"Population
Bomb!" Shirr ordered.
"High
Jump Kick!" Miakko ordered.
Population
Bomb is a move that calls for as many Maushold mice as it can. Each time it
hit, they will call for another one. They are bullies, if you had to ask me…
One hit!
Second hit! Third hit! Forth hit! Fifth Hit! The sixth hit missed, and Tsareena
managed to survive. But not for long…
She jumped
in the air to hit with High Jump Kick, missed Maushold, and crashed into the
ground and caused herself to faint…
"Now
Miakko! Summon your Charizard!" Shirr called.
"Go
Charizard!" Charizard was summoned by Miakko for his final battle; the one
to decide who will be the winner of this journey. Charizard recalled his time
from the day he met Miakko as a weak and young Charmander. And there he is,
standing in front of his trainer and against her opponent- to win the most
important battle he had in his life. Charizard felt an immense pain when he
landed on his feet. It was the Stealth Rock. Charizard is one of the Pokémon
that takes the most damage from this move; half of his Hit Points were gone.
That why it was crucial for Miakko to reflect the Stealth Rock with Espeon, but
she failed to do so by Shirr's trick. The trick she built for battles Miakko
has only seen. "Mega Evolution!!!!"
"Population
Bomb!" Shirr ordered. One hit! Second hit! Third hit! On the forth she
missed. Charizard survived with only 15 percent of its Hit Points.
"Flamethrower!!!"
Miakko ordered and turned Maushold into a Skitty's food.
"Let's
go! My final Pokémon!" Shirr called with joy. "Gengar!" She
clicked her Mega Stone "Mega Evolution! Use Thunderbolt!"
Miakko
already knew the outcome of this battle as she saw Gengar comes into the field.
Charizard was hit by the Thunderbolt and…
"Charizard
has fainted. Miakko has no Pokémon left!" Lance called. "Therefore
the winner of this battle and the champion of the single Pokemon League is
Shirr Massel!"
Miakko was
disappointed but said "I'm glad it is you. You were my goal all along. I'm
glad that you were the one to defeat me."
Shirr
grabbed Miakko's hand and shacked it "Thank you. You were my best battle
ever."
"It
is such a shame." Waiareas said. "After what I've said that Miakko
will win…"
"It
is okay Waiareas. Miakko need to experience loses sometimes." Ryu said.
"The real problem… we still haven't thought about the other issue."
Leon came
to the field and gave Shirr the champion's trophy. A high amount of cash will
be sent to her bank account, and a bit lower amount to Miakko's, as the second
place.
Miakko and
Shirr were about to leave but Leon then said. "Miakko! Wait! I have
something to tell you."
"What
is it?" Miakko asked.
"Your
Charizard's size. This thing isn't normal. There is a legend that some
Charizards with abnormal sizes can attain a new form. But no one has seen that
the form yet. Since the day I met you I've researched with some of the oldest
trainers who had a Charizard and in short, the conclusion we got is the way to
attain this form is that Charizard must train by himself apart from their
trainer. Unlike Mega Evolution that a bond must be created in order to use it,
this unknown form is a different kind of bond; the bond of being apart."
"That
doesn't make any sense." Shirr said.
"No,
it does make sense." Miakko said with a sad voice. "When I was apart
from my parents for eleven years I didn't feel I need them as I had no memories
of them. But when I saw them for the first time, even though not knowing they
are my parents, I felt somehow an instant connection with them. This form's
meaning is… 'longing'." Miakko summoned her Charizard and explained to him
situation. She also explained she leaving forever because she going back to her
original world. Charizard understood, and Miakko released it to the wild.
"Miakko.
We should get going." Ryu came and same. "We are going to have a
party for you two at Sayoko's house."
Miakko
went to Moho Sama "Moho, you are going to send me to my original world,
right?"
"Yeah.
I promise. But first, you should enjoy the party, and then I'll send you."
Shirr said
farwell to her parents. She said she is going to live at Pallet town at Kanto
alongside Sayoko and Katsuya. She told them she'll call them for her and
Katsuya's marriage ceremony.
"Surge.
Sabrina. Follow them. I'll be coming soon with reinforcement. Don't do anything
until I give you the order." Someone with an eye-patch said from afar.
"Shirr Massel, and Blaze Girl; they'll pay."
After one
day of travelling, everyone has reached Pallet town. Apparently Sayoko lived
only a few streets from Alicia's and Ben's house. Sayoko had a stupidly high
money amount in her bank account. I guess that what's happens when you win the
Pokémon League's champion prize a year by year. Ben bought some snacks, and a
lot of alcohol. Matoi took himself two beer cans and started drinking. He
noticed that Waiareas and Ryu weren't drinking at all and were satisfied with
cola. "Waiareas, aren't you going to drink?" he asked.
"No.
I personally hate the thought of me not controlling my actions."
"Come
one! That's the whole point of drinking; forgetting the bitter feelings in your
life for a while."
"Your
life is that bad, Matoi?" Miakko asked.
"To
be fair; it isn't. And since I met you guys it is even better." Matoi
answered.
"I
wonder how Matoi acts when he isn't under control." Shirr teased him.
"Fine
then I won't drink. It isn't healthy anyway."
On the
other side of the living room Sayoko and Nog were talking. I just noticed them
and didn't try to dive into their conversation. I wasn't interested anyway.
Brazle
shouted "Guys! I want to say something! Listen!" everyone shut their
mouth and let her talk. "I met Miakko when we were children. She is the
one who has driven me to become a Pokémon trainer. I wanted to be strong like
her! I had the chance to battle her once, which I've lost in that match. I
could see how far she will get as a trainer. I hoped to challenge her again at
the Pokémon League. But instead I got to battle Shirr. I knew Shirr was strong;
she defeated Sayoko after all. But I didn't realize how strong she was until
I've experienced that! And I don't know how to end my speech…"
Everyone
applauded. "Brazle you speak like you didn't reach the third place
yourself! This is party is for you as well!" Alicia applauded.
Suddenly,
a gunshot sound was heard. Everyone was shocked. "Blaze Girl! Get
outside!"
"This
voice…" Waiareas said.
"Giovanni!"
Katsuya called and rushed outside. "What are you doing here?!"
Giovanni was at the street alongside with round 270 Team Rocket members. They
were armed with guns. GYM Leaders Sabrina and Surge were along with him.
"I
came to take you. Katsuya! As I've promised; I let you enjoy your time until
the Pokémon League. Now, come back!"
Sayoko,
Shirr, Brazle, Tanimura, Aaron, Moho Sama, Waiareas, Ryu and Miakko went
outside as well. Matoi and Nog stayed at the house alongside with Alicia, Ben
and Ashley. Alicia held Ashley close in her chest; protecting her as much as
she could.
"Do
you understand what you are doing?!" Sayoko shouted. "Opening fire at
a town near people's homes?!"
"As
if I didn't do this before; during the time I've met Blaze Girl?! And my eye is
gone due to other girl! That's right; you! Shirr Massel!"
"Everyone!
Summon your Pokémon!" Moho Sama called.
"Battling
in this place! Amose, what are you thinking?!" Aaron called.
"We
have no choice!"
Giovanni
clicked his fingers "I knew you'll try to do that. I'll have to admit.
With Pokémon you can clearly defeat us. Furukawa Waiareas, Furukawa Ryu,
Kamidori Sayoko, Brazle Shine, Shirr Massel, and Blaze Girl. All of you are far
stronger than us. But can you do it without Pokémon?! Try to summon your
Pokémon!"
"Did
you activate the same thing you did when I went to save Katsuya?" Shirr
asked.
"Indeed.
But I wonder on how much area it works now?!" he mocked her.
Brazle
threw one of her Pokeballs and tried to summon one of her Pokémon "He is
right! Pokeballs won't work against him."
"Furukawa
Waiareas, Furukawa Ryu, it is such a shame I have to kill you. I'm the one who
taught you the basics about Pokémon battling! Die!" he shot an electricity
beam from his hands. Sabrina used her psychic powers and attacked Ryu. The
battle was short; around five minutes. It ended up with most of Team Rocket's
members' death, including Sabrina who was killed by Ryu, Surge who was killed
by Waiareas, and Giovanni who was killed by Shirr and Miakko who defeated him
together. At his death Giovanni felt humiliated to be defeated by the girls.
They got so much stronger from the last time he fought them. Oh… and Alicia's
home was destroyed… But none of Miakko's friends and family lost their lives.
Miakko was sorrowful as she saw her home gone, but she was glad that everyone
stayed alive. She knew the house had insurance anyway. Three days after the
battle Miakko, Waiareas, and Ryu went to talk with Moho Sama. Miakko asked him
to send her and her parents to their original world as he promised to do.
"About
that…" Moho answered "I refuse!"

notes:
There we
have it. The Pokémon League arc is over. I'm glad I managed to finish it right
before the release of Pokemon Legends Z-A, which will change the battle system
of the games; perfectly fitted to the next story arc. I hope to buy Legends Z-A
on release date, but that's depends on my local store. I hope the game will be
good!
