"Alright, Cleffa, use Charm!"
"Clef-Fa", said Cleffa in a cutesy tone as it lowered its ears in an attempt to look cute(r).
"Liepard, Fake Out!"
"Liiiiiiiiiie-Pard", exclaimed Liepard as she lunged at Cleffa with glowing orange paws, and then clapped them in Cleffa's face. This resulted in Cleffa being thrown backwards by a large shockwave of air.
"What? No way", exclaimed a shocked Chad in response to his attack not working.
"With some quick thinking on his part, Rojan's Liepard brought Cleffa's Charm to a screeching halt. How will Chad counterattack?"
"Like this! Cleffa, use Metronome!"
"Cleffa! Cle-Ffa-Cle-Ffa-Cle-Ffa", chanted Cleffa in response as she waved her fingerless hands as they began to glow white.
"And Cleffa counters with a Metronome. Folks, just about anything can happen now. Who knows how this'll turn out?"
"Hang tight, Liepard."
"Lie", growled a now cautious Liepard as she took a few steps backward away from Cleffa. Without knowing what the result of Cleffa's Metronome was going to be, all we could do was wait.
"Cle-Ffa-Cle-Ffa-Cle-Ffa-Cle-Ffa-Cle-Ffa-Cle-Ffa-Cleffa", exclaimed Cleffa as she stopped waving her hands. "Cleeeeeeeee-Ffa", it continued as it spit out a ball of ice and fired it at Liepard.
"And it looks like Cleffa's Metronome has turned into Ice Ball."
"Liepard, use Hyper Beam!"
"Liiiiiiiiie-Paaaaaard", rowled Liepard as she fired back at Ice Ball with an orange energy beam from her mouth. The blast tore right through the ball of ice, and continued until it slammed into Cleffa, rendering it unconscious as a result.
"No way", repeated a still shocked Chad.
"Cleffa is unable to battle! Liepard is the winner!"
"There you have it, Folks. Liepard has taken Cleffa out of the battle with a powerful Hyper Beam. Now, what Pokemon will Liepard face next?"
"Cleffa, return", growled an irritated Chad. "Pure beginner's luck, nothing more", he rationalized to himself.
"Keep telling yourself that, Chazz", I taunted.
"Liepard-Lie."
"Cute", began Chad sarcastically in response to me deliberately saying his name wrong just as he'd done to me, "but let's see how you handle this", he continues as he throws his second Poke Ball.
"Seedot!"
"And begin!"
"Seedot, boost your defense with Harden!"
"Seedot", chirped his grass-type Pokemon as its acorn body began becoming harder, and harder.
"Liepard, use Shadow Ball!"
"Liiiiiiiiiie-Pard", exclaimed Liepard as she fired a ball of ghostly, dark energy at Seedot.
"Seeeeeeeeedot", whined Seedot as it was thrown backwards from the blast.
"Get up, Seedot! And use Leech Seed!"
"Seeeeeeee-Dot", it squeaked as it lowered its head and fired a seed out of its antenna-like stem.
"Shadow Claw, go!"
"Liiiiiiiiiiie", began Liepard as her paw became engulfed in ghostly, dark energy, which then took the form of a giant set of claws, "Paaaaaard", she continued with a growl as she sliced through the seed with little effort, thus rendering the attack useless.
"That Leech Seed attack had no effect at all. Without even enduring a hit yet, this Pokemon has put on an impressive display of strength. What attack will Seedot use to take on such a powerful Liepard?"
"Seedot, use Sunny Day!"
"Seeeeeeeeeeedoooooooot", hollered Seedot as it fired a beam of light energy into the sky from the top of its head. In response, the sun's rays became amplified, making the battlefield much brighter, and hotter than before.
"Seedot heats things up with an illuminating Sunny Day!"
"Yes", exclaimed an excited Chad to himself. It was around this time I noticed, Seedot doing a little dance as it anticipated Liepard's next move.
"Chlorophyll", I muttered to myself in response to Chad's obvious attempt to increase Seedot's speed. "Jump, Liepard."
"Liepard. Lie", growled Liepard as she leapt high into the air. Her jump was so high that she wound up blocking the sun from Seedot, discombobulating it as it hesitated.
"Look out, Seedot!"
"Hyper Beam, now!"
"Liiiiiiiiiiie-Pard", exclaimed Liepard as she executed an aerial Hyper Beam attack. Even with the speed boost it got from the sun, Seedot was too stunned to respond quick enough, resulting in it falling onto its back in defeat due to the impact.
"Seedot is unable to battle! Liepard is the winner", said Don George upon Liepard sticking the landing.
"Liepard-Pard", purred a satisfied Liepard.
"Nice job, Liepard."
"Unbelievable! Liepard has successfully swept through two of Chad's Pokemon! What will Chad send out next", continued the announcer as Chad recalled his Seedot.
"Go, Lotad", exclaimed Chad as he threw his third Poke Ball.
"Lotad!"
"A Lotad", I asked in confusion.
"It's a Lotad! An interesting choice from Saffron City's Chad. I wonder what battle tactics Chad will use."
"And begin!"
"Liepard, use Shadow Ball!"
"Liiiiiiie—", began Liepard as it began charging up its attack.
"Lotad, Astonish!"
"Loooooooooooooooooo", screeched Lotad in a somewhat creepy tone of voice. In response to the horrible sound, Liepard lowered its ears, and dropped its head as its fur began to stand up. Its Shadow Ball attack had failed.
"Liepard", I began with my ears covered, "use your Shadow Claw!"
"Quick, Lotad, use Mist to hide yourself!"
"Lo-Taaaaaaaad", exclaimed Lotad as it began spewing Mist at its feet in an attempt to hide.
"Liepard-Lie", growled Liepard as she lunged at, and struck Lotad with her Shadow Claw attack, despite Lotad's efforts to hide.
"Grrrrr, Lotad, use Rainy Day!"
"Say what", I asked aloud in confusion.
"Loooooooooo-Tad", exclaimed Lotad as it fired a blast of water high into the air. In response, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky as rain poured down onto the battlefield.
"Now, Lotad, get going!"
"Lotad! Lo-Tad-Lo-Tad-Lo-Tad-Lo", chanted Lotad as it began showing off its incredible speed as it ran circles around Liepard.
"Look at it go! Lotad is truly demonstrating how much faster it is in the rain thanks to its Swift Swim ability."
"So, what'll it be now, Roger", asked a now confident Chad.
"This strategy didn't work for Seedot, and it won't work now. Liepard, use Hyper Beam!"
"Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiie", began Liepard as she began charging up her ultimate attack while Lotad, confident that Liepard would miss, continued to run in a circle. "Liepard", she continued in exclamation as she fired her attack to her right, catching Lotad off guard as it ran directly into the blast. When the smoke had cleared, Lotad was lying on its side in defeat.
"Lotad-Lo", groaned Lotad.
"Lotad is unable to battle! Liepard is the winner!"
"Despite Lotad's increase in speed, Liepard has still come out on top, once again with a powerful Hyper Beam."
"Lotad, return", said Chad as he recalled his Pokemon. "Don't get too comfortable over there", warned Chad. "One Pokemon won't win this for you."
"If that's the case, then let's see you do something about it", I challenged him.
"Liepard-Liepard."
"Fine, then I will! Go, Castform", continued Chad as he threw his fourth Poke Ball.
"Castform-Form", exclaimed his Pokemon as it entered the battlefield. Immediately after its release, Castform transformed.
"Oh no", exclaimed Chad upon realizing his mistake. Normally, Castform would be a difficult opponent for Liepard to defeat, as it's immune to ghost-type attacks, resistant to normal-type attacks, and Liepard had already used its Fake Out attack. However, thanks to Lotad, Castform was now a water-type instead of a normal-type, making it fair game for Liepard.
"And Chad has sent out his Castform. And what's more, Castform has transformed into its Rainy Form. They don't call Castform the Weather Pokemon for nothing, Folks."
"And begin!"
"Liepard, jump and use Shadow Ball!"
"Liepard", began Liepard as it leaped back into the air. "Liiiiiiie-Pard", it continued as it fired it Shadow Ball attack down at Castform.
"Grrrrrr, Castform, use Ember!"
"Caaaaaaaaaastfoooooooorm", squealed Castform as it fired its flame attack back at Liepard's Shadow Ball, destroying it instantly as the flames barreled through it and into Liepard.
"Liepard", hollered an airborne Liepard, as there was no way for her to dodge.
"You okay, Liepard", I asked as my Pokemon, who despite being scorched, landed on its feet.
"Lie-Pard", it reassured me.
"Despite the direct hit, Castform's Ember attack didn't seem to do much damage. No surprise considering Lotad's Rain Dance is still dampening the battlefield."
"Grrrrr, Castform, use Powder Snow!"
"Caaaaaaaaaaast-Form", exclaimed Castform as it fired a small, concentrated gust of an icy wind out of its mouth.
"Sweet! Liepard, use Shadow Claw!"
"Liepard! Liiiiiiiiiiie", growled Liepard as it intercepted Castform's Powder Snow with its Shadow Claw, crudely shielding itself as it did so. As a result, the dark energy that made up the Shadow Claw became bigger, and stronger as the power of Castform's attack increased the power of Liepard's.
"What the heck", asked a shocked, and confused Chad.
"Castform?"
"Do it, Liepard!"
"Liiiiiiiiiiie-Pard", hollered Liepard as it lunged, and struck Castform with an explosive, super-powered Shadow Claw.
"What kind of crazy-, er I mean, what a unique use of Shadow Claw. Rojan has just turned Castform's own attack against itself."
"Use Swift, Castform!"
"Caaaaaaaast-Form-Form-Form", exclaimed Castform as it fired stars at Liepard.
"Hyper Beam, now!"
"Liiiiiiiiie-Pard", hollered Liepard as it once again repeated its ultimate attack. Both Castform's Swift attack, as well as Castform itself, were no match for Liepard's Hyper Beam.
"Castform", groaned Castform as it fell onto its face in defeat.
"No!"
"Castform is unable to battle! Liepard is the winner!"
"Awesome! Way to go, Liepard!"
"Liepard-Lie", replied Liepard gleefully.
"Simply incredible! Liepard has once again ended the battle with its Hyper Beam attack! What kind of Pokemon will Chad use to defeat such a powerful dark-type?"
"Castform, return. Grrrrrrr, that does it! I'm gonna defeat that Liepard! Go, Makuhita", hollered Chad as he threw his fifth Poke Ball.
"Maku-Maku."
"It's a Makuhita. Liepard is at a clear type disadvantage here, Folks. Will Makuhita finally put an end to Liepard's winning streak?"
"And begin!"
"Liepard, use Shadow Ball!"
"Liiiiiiiie—", began Liepard as it began charging up its attack.
"Maku! Maku-Maku-Maku-Maku-Maku", chanted Makuhita as it sped into a full-on sprint towards Liepard.
"Whoa! It's so fast", I said in shock.
"Makuhita, use Fake Out!"
"Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-Ku", exclaimed Makuhita as it clapped its two glowing orange fists together, thereby causing Liepard's attack to fail due to being blasted by the shockwave of air.
"Liepard-Pard", groaned Liepard as she laid on her side, having finally been defeated.
"Liepard, no!"
"Liepard is unable to battle! Makuhita is the winner!"
"What a surprise! Makuhita has defeated Liepard with a sneaky Fake Out attack."
"Liepard, return", I said as I recalled my Pokemon. "Liepard, you're today's MVP, thank you. Now get a nice, long rest. Now-, huh", I asked upon noticing the rain stop, and the sun returning. "Perfect. Heatmor, you're up", I exclaimed as I threw a Quick Ball.
"Heatmor."
"And there you have it, Folks. Liepard's winning streak has finally come to an end. As of this moment, Rojan still has five Pokemon on his team, while Chad has only two. Will Makuhita be enough to close the gap? Or will Heatmor be too hot for Chad to handle?"
"And begin!"
"Makuhita, Sand Attack!"
"Maku-Maku-Maku-Maku-Maku", chanted Makuhita as it began hurling sand at Heatmor.
"Push back, Heatmor! Use Façade!"
"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeat", growled Heatmor as its body became encased in an orange aura, shielding it from Makuhita's Sand Attack.
"What the", asked a shocked Chad.
"Mor", hollered Heatmor as it then charged into Makuhita.
"Fight back, Makuhita! Show that Heatmor! Tackle attack!"
"Maku", replied Makuhita as it prepared to charge at Heatmor.
"Shut it down, Heatmor! Use Flame Burst!"
"Heeeeeeeeat-Mor", exclaimed Heatmor as it fired an orangish-yellow fireball at Makuhita.
"Makuuuuuu", hollered Makuhita in pain. It then immediately rose back onto its feet and slammed on the ground, psyching itself up. "Makuhita! Ma-Ku-Hita!"
Lucky for Chad, Makuhita is resistant to fire-type attacks, I thought to myself.
"Makuhita, Vital Throw!"
"Maku-Maku-Maku-Maku-Maku", chanted Makuhita as it once again charged at Heatmor.
"Heatmor, use Rock Tomb!"
"Heatmor-Mor", hollered Heatmor as large boulders appeared in the sky, and rained down on Makuhita.
"Maku? Maku", exclaimed Makuhita in pain upon being buried by Heatmor's attack. "Ma-Ku-Hi-Ta", groaned Makuhita as it just barely managed to dig its way from under the rocks and rise to its feet.
"Makuhita is back on its feet, but it looks like it can barely stand. Is this the end of Makuhita?"
"No way! Makuhita, Sand Attack!"
"Makuuuuuu-Maku", gasped Makuhita as it fell to one knee due to losing its balance.
"What're you doing Makuhita? Get up!"
"Heatmor, Shadow Claw!"
"Heatmor! Heeeeeeeeeeat-Mor", exclaimed Heatmor as it struck Makuhita with a devastating Shadow Claw attack, knocking Makuhita onto its back in defeat.
"Maku-Ku", groaned Makuhita.
"Makuhita is unable to battle! Heatmor is the winner!"
"And Makuhita is out of the battle. Despite being at a type disadvantage, Heatmor managed to come out on top with an impressive display of Pokemon attacks. Now Heatmor is up against Chad's sixth, and final Pokemon."
"Makuhita, return", growled Chad as he recalled his Pokemon. "You've come this far, Roger, but that'll be far enough", he hollered in irritation as he threw his final Poke Ball, as if I didn't already know which Pokemon was inside.
"Kadabra."
"This is it, Folks. Chad has sent out Kadabra, his most powerful Pokemon. But will it be enough to win this battle?"
"And begin!"
"Heatmor, use Façade!"
"Confusion, now!"
"Ka-Da-Braaaaaaaa", exclaimed Kadabra in a creepy voice as its eyes began to glow blue. In response, before it could even move, Heatmor was then lifted into the air due to Kadabra's psychic powers, and then thrown across the battlefield.
"Heatmor", hollered my fire-type upon flying through the air, and then crashing onto the ground.
"Are you okay, Heatmor?"
"Heatmor."
"Good, then use Flame Burst!"
"Heeeeeeeeeat", growled Heatmor as it prepared to attack.
"Kadabra, Teleport!"
"Mor", hollered Heatmor as it fired its fireball at Kadabra. In response, Kadabra teleported out of the way, completely bypassing Heatmor's attack.
"Don't back down, Heatmor! Rapid fire Flame Burst!"
"Heeeeeeat-Mor-Mor-Mor", exclaimed Heatmor as it repeatedly fired its fire-type attack at Kadabra, who continued to dodge each attack by way of teleporting.
"Heatmor is seriously scorching the battlefield with its Flame Burst attacks. But try as it might, it just can't seem to land a hit on Kadabra."
"Now use Thunder Punch!"
"Uh-oh", I muttered to myself.
"Kadaaaaaaaaaaaab", began Kadabra as it teleported behind Heatmor with an electrical fist.
"Quick, Heatmor, use Rock Tomb.
"Heeeeat-Mor", hollered Heatmor as it summoned more boulders above its head.
"Dabra?"
"Now move", I hollered. Heatmor then dove out of the way, leaving Kadabra to take the full brunt of the attack as it became buried in the rocks. "Awesome! Nice work, Heatmor!"
"Heatmor!"
"And just who said that we were done", asked an annoyed Chad.
"Kadabra", hollered Kadabra as it used its psychic powers to blast the rocks off of itself.
"Uh-oh. Heatmor, use Shadow Claw!"
"Heeeeeeeeeat", growled Heatmor as it lunged at Kadabra with its Shadow Claw.
"Toxic, now!"
"Oh no!"
"Kada-Braaaaaaaaa", exclaimed Kadabra as it spewed a cloud of poisonous gas from its mouth, incapacitating Heatmor as it became poisoned.
"Heat-H-Heat-Mor", coughed Heatmor due to the poison beginning to overwhelm him.
"Hang tough, Heatmor! Use—", I began before being cut off.
"Confusion!"
"Kadabra", exclaimed Kadabra as its eyes glowed blue again. Kadabra then used its psychic powers to slam Heatmor into the nearest wall, knocking it unconscious in the process.
"No! Heatmor!"
"Heatmor is unable to battle! Kadabra is the winner!"
"And that's the end of Heatmor's firepower. Heatmor may have been powerful, but Chad's Kadabra was full of surprises. Now, what Pokemon will Rojan respond with?"
"Heatmor, return", I said as I recalled my Pokemon. "Good job, Buddy. Get ready, Chad, because this ends now", I exclaimed as I threw a Great Ball.
"Garbodor!"
"You must be joking", said Chad with a scoff.
"Kadabra."
"It's Garbodor. This might be a rookie mistake on Rojan's part, as Gabodor is hopelessly weak against psychic-type attacks. Will Garbodor be able to handle Kadabra?"
"And begin!"
"Garbodor, Body Slam!"
"Gaaaaaaaar", hollered Garbodor as it prepared to lunge at Kadabra.
"What a joke! Kadabra, Teleport!"
"Kadabra! Da-Bra-Da-Bra", chanted Kadabra as it began teleporting all over the battlefield in an attempt to confuse Garbodor.
"Gar? Bo? Gar?"
"Garbodor, behind you!"
"Gar", asked Garbodor as it turned around to see Kadabra preparing to lunge at it.
"Garbodor, use Hyper Beam!"
"Kadabra, use Thunder Punch!"
"Gaaaaaaaaaar-Bodor", hollered Garbodor as it unleashed its Hyper Beam attack at Kadabra.
"Kaaaaaaaaaa", growled Kadabra as it barreled through Garbodor's attack with its electrical fist. "Daaaaaaabraaaaaaa", it hollered upon its fist making contact with Garbodor.
"Gaaaaaaar-Bo-Doooooor", groaned Garbodor upon being punched onto its back.
"Oh no, Garbodor! Are you okay?"
"Garbodor! Gaaaaaaaaaar", roared Garbodor as it rose to its feet and hollered in irritation. Its Weak Armor ability had just kicked in.
"Kadabra?"
"What's going on", asked a confused, and slightly concerned Chad.
"Alright! Show 'em who's boss, Garbodor! Use Sludge Bomb!"
"Gaaaaaaar-Bo-Dor-Bo-Dor-Bo", exclaimed Garbodor as it fired blasts of sludge out of its mouth at Kadabra.
"Return them to sender, Kadabra! Use Confusion!"
"Kaaaaaa-Daaaaaa-Braaaaaaa", growled Kadabra as it used its psychic powers to repel the Sludge Bomb attack back at Garbodor. Unfortunately for Chad, nothing was accomplished, as the sludge blast bounced right off of Garbodor.
"Say what?"
"You'll have to do better than that", I teased.
"Garbodor", chimed my Pokemon with a smug grin.
"No surprise here. Sludge Bomb may have had no effect on Kadabra due to its Confusion, but Garbodor, being a poison-type Pokemon, is immune to poison-type attacks. We're coming down to the wire, Folks, and something's gotta give."
"Now use Venoshock, and keep up the pressure!"
"Gaaaaaaar-Bo-Dor-Bo-Dor", chanted Garbodor as it fired a barrage of green goop blasts from the fingers on his right arm.
"Kadabra, Teleport!"
"Da-Bra-Da-Bra-Da", chanted Kadabara as it began dodging the barrage of poison-type attacks. Garbodor's speed, and accuracy was so intense that even while teleporting, Kadabra was having a hard time dodging each attack, as they were just barely missing him.
"Enough of this! Kadabra, use Thunder Punch!"
"Kaaaaaaaaaaaa-Dabra", hollered Kadabra as it lunged at the side of Garbodor's head with an electrical fist.
"Dodge it!"
"Garbodor", exclaimed my Pokemon as he leaned back slightly, dodging Kadabra's attack as the psychic Pokemon was now both vulnerable, and in close range for a counterattack.
"Oh no!"
"Body Slam, now!"
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaar", growled Garbodor as it lunged forward towards the still airborne Kadabra.
"Kadabraaaaaaa", hollered Kadabra upon anticipating what was coming.
"Bodor", continued Garbodor as it crushed Kadabra with its body, pinning Kadabra underneath it in the process. The entire colosseum fell silent in response as we waited to see what became of Kadabra. After a few moments of silence, Garbodor began to rise to its feet.
"Gar-Bo-Dor."
"Kadabraaaaa", groaned Kadabra from its stomach after being crushed by Garbodor.
"This can't be!"
"Kadabra is unable to battle! Garbodor is the winner! The victory goes to Rojan from Pallet Town!" In response to Don George's final call, the crowd went wild.
"That's it, Folks! The battle is over! After an impressive display of skill, and strength Rojan has claimed victory, and will move on to the final battle!"
"We did it! We did it! We did it", I cheered with glee as I ran over and hugged my Pokemon. "You were awesome, Garbodor!"
"Garbo-Gar", it replied gleefully.
"Kadabra, return", growled Chad as he recalled his Pokemon. "We'll settle this feud later, in the WBGP", warned Chad as he walked off of the battlefield towards the exit. With him now eliminated from the competition, he felt no need to stick around.
