Kass' POV
"HMMM!" I took a deep breath as I sat in the locker room.
The challenger portion of the finals was starting, the winner of this would be put in the same bracket as the gym leaders for the chance to become Galar champion. I would need to win five battels to face Leon and the first was against Marnie.
"And now one of the finalists, all the way from Alola, Kass!"
I heard my name called and walked out with a smile; I was excited but a little nervous too.
"Oh hey." Marnie smiled when I met her in the middle "Sure are a lot of people huh?"
"Yeah even more than a Gym battle." I laughed "Kinda exciting."
"Sorry bout all that stuff with Spikemuth and Team Yell and my brother." She sighed "But I'm glad we get to fight here, I'm not gonna lose though."
"Well neither am I so gimme your best." I smiled.
"Hmph." Marnie nodded as we went to our sides.
The battle was five on five so I was getting prepared.
"Let's go Liepard." Marnie said.
"Vespiquen!" I sent out the bee and looked around at the cheering crowd, I was a little nervous but excited, I couldn't see them in the stands but I knew my family was watching.
The horn sounded and our battle began.
"Liepard Snarl!"
"Bug buzz!"
Both Pokemon made attacking noises, the effects canceling each other out as it happened.
"Attack Order!" I yelled.
Vespiquen shot out some scattered larva to attack Liepard with, the cat swiftly jumped around it getting behind her.
"Snarl!"
"Power Gem!"
Vespiquen quickly spun in place and blasted Liepard with stony energy blasts that stopped its pounce.
"Air Slash!"
Vespiquen swiped at Liepard and knocked it out with a sharp gust of air.
"Return." Marnie blinked "Morpeko!"
The happy little mouse popped out with a wave.
"Spark!"
Marnie sent her mouse after the bee who I quickly had dodge.
"Attack order!"
"Beat it back with Bullet Seed!"
Morpeko shot out little seed blasts to knock away the attacking bees. Morpeko then squeaked and changed color, turning black and purple.
"Aura Wheel!"
The mouse spun up and slammed into Vespiquen knocking her back before changing color to yellow.
"Aura Wheel again!"
The time the Aura sparked around Morpeko as it slammed into Vespiquen and knocked it out.
"Return." I called her back "The move changed type…okay then, Sandaconda!"
The snake appeared with a his, the battlefield getting caught up in a sandstorm.
"Weather effects won't stop up, Morpeko, Bullet Seed!"
"Brutal swing!"
Sandaconda smashed the seeds back and then slithered in swiftly.
"Bulldoze!"
Sandaconda slammed into Morpeko and knocked it out, setting up Marnie to use her next Pokemon.
"Scrafty! Crunch!" The Pokemon jumped in and slamming its face against Sandaconda knocking it back.
"Come back!" I said, the Sandstrom still gusting "Cinderace!"
The rabbit flipped out and got ready.
"High Jump Kick!"
Marnie's Pokemon jumped up and dove in.
"Double Kick!"
I had Cinderace clash with the other Pokemon, both letting out a flurry of kicks before sliding back, the sandstorm still whipping around them.
"Pyro Ball!"
Cinderace kicked a flaming rock into Scrafty, knocking it back a bit.
"Brick Break!"
Scrafty landed with a forceful kick but Cinderace used his speed to avoid it.
"Pyro Ball Barrage!" I yelled.
Cinderace spun on its hands and used it's flaming kicks to pelt Scrafty with a multitude of flaming rock balls that knocked it out.
"Toxicroak!" she quickly sent out her next Pokemon "Sucker Punch!"
Cinderace ducked and swiped Toxicroak's leg.
"Return." I pulled it back even though it could still fight "Bronzong!"
The bell floated out and groaned.
"Extrasensory!"
Bronzong slammed the frog down with psychic powers as it tried to rush in. Toxicroak jumped back up as the sandstorm started to disperse before rushing.
"Sucker Punch!"
Bronzong took the powerful blow but didn't get knocked out as it once more hit Toxicroak with a psychic blast.
"Okay last one, I'm still in this." Marnie said "Grimmsnarl! Gigantimax!"
Marnie sent out her Pokemon and immediately made it grow, revealing an impish elf like monster covered in thick black hair.
"Okay you too Bronzong!" I sent my Pokemon out "Dynamax!"
Bronzong got massive and able to compete with Grimmsnarl
"G-Max Snooze!"
Bronzong was blasted with swirls of Dark Energy only to stay afloat.
"Max Steelspike!"
Bronzong attacked by sending out a wave of shining metal spikes that knocked the other Pokemon over.
"Now Max Mindstorm!"
"That won't work!" Marine smiled "Grimmsnarl is immune to Psychic attacks! Now Max Starfall!"
Shooting stars slammed into Bronzong, making it nearly faint as the ground was covered in mist. Still I wasn't giving up just yet, plus I knew I could get aggressive since I still had Cinderace and another Pokemon to fall back on.
"Max Quake!"
Bronzong made the earth rumble and caused Grimmsnarl to trip and land forward.
"Now Max Steelspike!"
The glowing metallic spikes grow out of the field and slammed into Grimmsnarl, lifting it off the ground and knocking it out cold.
"The winner is Kass!"
"I lost…" Marnie sighed a bit "But I got ta see a lot of good stuff from your Pokemon."
"I had a lot of fun." I ran over to shake her hand "It was awesome, everyone cheering us on."
"It was…nice." She smiled a bit "I guess it wasn't so bad even if I lost, I think I'll go watch the rest in the stands with my brother."
"Don't worry I'll beat who ever comes up next, and then the gym leaders too." I smiled back.
I looked up, the next match was between Hop and another challenger. I was curious to see how strong Hop had gotten; it had been a long time since we battled too I was looking forward to facing him.
