Types and Weaknesses
Seeing the battle's that took place before was definetly a humbling experience. The strategies, the moves, all were way different compared to how I imagined it would be.
I had definetly gotten lucky with my first battle as my opponent didn't seem to be very well versed in battling. But I did have a leg up my creativity and knowledge on which pokemon were among the best stat wise. I wasn't sure whether they would directly coincide with this world's stats but what I saw so far hasn't disproven my theory.
"Glaze proceed to the stage" I heard my name being called out.
"Guess it's time" I said as I cracked my knuckles.
I stood up and proceeded towards the tournament arena.
-Tournament Arena
"Have I done something to make you afraid of me?" I said to my pink haired opponent.
"Nothing..." liz said softly.
"Well then forget what happened in the past, I'm someone else now" I said taking my ball out.
"Huh" she said surprised.
"Absol get ready" I said throwing my ball.
The absol appeared and waited calmly for the opponent's move.
"Luna..go" She said nervously.
A Kirlia popped out from the ball. It had a humanoid appearance that resembled a child in a dress.
'A fairy type huh' I remembered seeing mentions of fairy types in the tournament guide book and I remembered the ralt's line being changed to fairies.
"Begin" The announcer said.
"Luna psybeam" she said.
The kirlia shot a cylindrical beam of psychic energy at the Absol.
'Sigh' I sighed.
"How nervous are you really? Well I can't let a opportunity like this go by" I said to myself.
"Absol take the hit and follow it up with a pursuit" I added.
The psychic energy hit the absol but failed to damage it. The absol then covered itself in darkness and proceeded to hit the Kirlia pushing it back. The kirlia seemed to take minimal damage though.
"Luna..." she said.
"Liz just focus on the battle don't worry about anything else" Reanna's voice sounded from the seats.
"Yes...Understood Reanna" she took deep breaths trying to calm herself. After a few seconds she opened her eyes.
"Luna draining kiss"
The Kirlia lunged for the absol with it's move.
"Absol double team" I said.
The absol split into clones that took the damage. The kirlia kept destroying clones with it's move.
'Too bad all my moves are physical, I might have to play my ace' I thought looking at the miniscule amount of clones that remained.
"Luna now disarming voice" she said.
'Oh no' I thought. Another move that never missed wish I had a better moveset.
The kirlia let out a sound wave that eliminated most of the present clones eventually hitting Absol.
'Damn there's nothing I can do, guess I have to use it' I thought as I prepared myself.
"Absol use perish song" I said.
-Tournament seats
"Perish song a move that makes any pokemon that hears it to instantly faint after a certain number of turns, so this was what you were hiding" The guy with glasses said.
'A double edged sword for sure, he would need to last long enough to get a win' Walker thought.
'He won't be able to last long enough anyway since he's outranged by a super effective move. Liz has this match' Reanna thought.
The absol played a melody that that sounded like the last rites before a funeral. When the move finished both pokemon seemed to be visibly effected by it.
"Guess I'll have to go all out" I said wiping the sweat off my brow.
