Kass' POV

I was looking forward to the first real round of the tournament, this time I was up against Nessa, it was kinda suspenseful but I knew it would be a fun match.

When I walked out I could hear the crowd cheering, Nessa walked out too looking just as poised and confident as ever.

"This match will be a four verses four bout!" the announcer said.

"I don't plan on losing just so you know." She smirked "So gimme all you got."

"Good, it wouldn't be fun otherwise." I said "Let's get started, come on Beartic!"

I sent out the large imposing bear.

"Golisopod!" Nessa sent out her Pokemon "First Impression!"

Beartic put up her arms and blocked the sudden rapid strike from the bug Pokemon.

"Break it's guard with Liquidation!" she commanded.

"HMPH!" Beartic got knocked back by a blast.

"Fine let's fight back!" I yelled "Slash!"

Beartic and Golisopod traded a few rapid swipes and slashes, the two large and bulky Pokemon striking suddenly.

"I'm not just gonna give in to you." I glared "Icicle Crash!"

A massive Icicle formed and slammed into Golisopod, throwing it back. Golisopod suddenly retreated to it's Pokeball and Nessa changed Pokemon.

"Pelipper." Nessa sent out a new Pokemon "Tailwind!"

A powerful gust was kicked up that started pushing Beartic back.

"Water Pulse!"

The bulky bear got blasted and simply shook off the blow.

"Rock Tomb!"

Beartic hurled a series of boulders at Pelipper who caught the tailwind and avoided the attack, flying in close and slicing by.

"Air Slash!"

Beartic suddenly groaned and fell back and was knocked out.

"Seems like I'm taking an early lead." Nessa laughed.

"Return." I pulled my Pokemon back "You next Obstagoon!"

I sent out a large rowdy Pokemon.

"Seems you've been doing some training." Nessa smiled "Air Slash!"

"Obstruct!"

I quickly had Obstagoon block and once Pelipper missed it's attack we struck back.

"Thunder Punch!"

Obstagoon landed a hard punch and then pulled back again.

"Night Slash!"

Obstagoon sliced into Pelipper and knocked it out.

"Golisopod!" Nessa went back to her first Pokemon "First Impression!"

Before Obstagoon could get her defense back up she was slammed into by a pair of sharp pincers.

"Obstagoon may be good and blocking but once that block is broken, they crumble." Nessa said as I recalled my Pokemon "What are you gonna do now?"

"I'm just getting started." I smiled "Barraskewda!"

My fish hit the wet floor and started swimming towards the opponent.

"Laser Focus!"

"Shadow Claw!" Nessa commanded her Pokemon to try and whack mine out of the water.

"Now jump and Liquidation!"
Barraskweda leapt out and slammed into Golisopod knocking it out.

"Golisopod's ability to retreat can be useful but it usually means it comes back weakened." I said "Let's keep going."

"I agree, Barraskweda!"

Nessa sent out her own violent fish and the battle continued.

"AQUA JET!" We both yelled.

The two fish zoomed around the area taking swipes and shots at each other, their jaws clapped and snapped at their tails thrashed and kicked up water like rain. Soon the two were burning out on both speed and strength and slowed to a stop exhausted.

"Throat Chop!"

Nessa's fish shot forward with a last bit of strength and slammed into mine.

"Crunch!"

Barraskweda bit back and both fish were knocked out suddenly.

"Hmph, two glass cannons blowing themselves up." I laughed "Okay, we've each got one left."

"Drednaw!" Nessa sent her Pokemon out, the heavy turtle landing roughly.

"Cherrim!"

My skipping plant landed all wrapped up.

"Jaw Lock!"

Nessa attacked first and clamped down on my Pokemon.

"Sunny Day!"

Cherrim let of a flare like sun burst that made heat start beating down on the arena, her petals flew open, knocking back Drednaw while she spun in place renewed.

"Nice, now Petal Dance!"

Cherrim spun around and kicked up a rapid spin of sharp pink petals that cut into Drednaw who looked to take quite a hit.

"Crunch!"

Drednaw tried to clamp down again but Cherrim skipped to the side and dodged the attack allowing her to blast out more petals.

"Come on Nessa is that all you got?" I laughed feeling a rush of battle "I was expecting more!"

"Oh you want more huh?" She said recalling her Pokemon "Drednaw crush them under the tide, Gigantimax!"

She threw her Pokemon back out as a giant turtle with a thick shell around it.

"That's what I'm talking about!" I Dynamaxed Cherrim as well.

"G-Max Stoneshard!"

Drednaw slammed a foot down and sent a cascade of sharp stones at Cherrim who quickly used Max Overgrowth to bind them in vines and flowers.

"Now Max Flare!"

Cherrim summoned a large flaming ball that slammed into Drednaw knocking it onto it's back and making it struggle to stand.

"Wrap this up, Max Overgrowth!"

A massive burst of flowers erupted from the ground and knocked the turtle out giving us the win.

"Alright." I cheered.

"NO!" Nessa yelped before regaining her calm composer "Not bad I guess."

"That was a ton of fun." I ran over and shook her hand "Let's battle more again in the future."

"Yeah, let's." she laughed a bit "But now that you beat me you better go all the way so that I can at least say I lost to the new champ."

"That's my plan." I laughed.
