Preface
Drake was down to his last Pokémon. While Aerlus had two left.
"Go Salamence!"
"Return Salamandra! Go Kay'est!" with a flash of red light Aerlus' Salamence returned to its pokéball, and white light revealed an elegant looking Milotic.
"Kay'est, Hydro Pump!"
"Salamence! Flamethrower!" the field was covered in a blanket of steam. Milotic slithers around the back of Salamence, taking full advantage of the cover the steam provided.
"Kay'est, Ice Beam!"
"Salamence, Flamethrower!" Flipping over Salamence, now upside down in the air, spits flames straight at Milotic's Ice Beam.
When they collide time froze for a brief moment, you see a power struggle between the two attacks, fire versus ice. Finally time restarts in fast forward in the form of a massive explosion. This time Salamence took advantage of the cover produced by the explosion.
"Salamence, Dragon Claw!" Salamence raises one of his massive clawed feet. Slowly a glowing green energy engulfs the claws on the foot one at a time when fully engulfed Salamence swings down at Milotic. No one noticed a slight glow coming from Kay'est until…
"Kay'est, Mirror Coat!" Kay'est's glow became pronounced and red in color. Salamence's claws bounce back twice as forceful has the swing hitting Salamence upside its own head. Knocking it for a loop and straight to the ground. Salamence starts to recover from it daze sporting claw marks on its head. When you hear the finishing call…
"Kay'est, Ice Beam close range!" the beam hits dead on, frosting over Salamence and knocking it out cold.
"Salamence is unable to battle," cries the ref. "Milotic wins!" Cheers break loose from the crowd. Aerlus was the first to clear the elite Four in at least three years. All that was left was the battle with the little know Champion of three Regions, at the year old Mt. Silver Stadium.
