Ash Ketchum was in the Alola League. He could taste the victory.
"Pikachu! Use Volt Tackle!"
"Skarmory! Use Steel Wing!"
Skarmory was almost defeated. Pikachu could stand the recoil, right?
Right?
"Skarmory has been defeated! Ash-Wait! Kahili has one pokemon left!"
"Go! Noivern! Use HYPER VOICE!"
"PIKACHU, NO!"
"Pikachu has been defeated, Kahili has won!"
Ash slowly collapsed to the floor. He could have used the hyper potion on Incineroar, Solgaleo, or Sivally.
No, he used the hyper potion on Decidueye, hoping that he would last against her Charizard.
He thought she would use her normal team.
Crying, Ash got up, leaving the Elite Four Member's room.
He got farther than ever, but he lost.
Because he could be stupid at times.
