Relying on a gamble
All our pokemon seemed slightly exhausted. Especially walker's combusken and my absol. This was getting tedious.
"Matthias I'll need a distraction so that I can get a perish song in" I whispered to him.
"Sure It seems like that would be the best move to use about now" Matthias said.
He looked over at our opponents.
"Ready" He said.
"Not really but lets do this" I said.
"Porygon go on the offensive use psybeam on combusken" Matthias said.
The psychic attack came towards combusken.
"Dodge combusken and retort with double kick" Walker said.
The combusken managed to dodge the psychic move and began to move in close proximity to porygon. The scyther was quite a distance away it wouldn't be able to react fast enough to Absol.
"Absol use perish song" I said.
The deadly tune played once more as all 4 pokemon looked uncomfortable as they started shuddering then eventually stopped.
"Fantastic I was waiting for when you would pull out that move I'm starting to really enjoy this match now" Vis said.
"What are you talking about we're at a disadvantage now we need to hurry combusken double ki-""Now pursuit" I said as combusken's attention was entirely on porygon.
Combusken's attack managed to connect half way until the pursuit struck. Vis's scyther was too far too assist and combusken was on it's last legs now. It panted for a while before finally managing to collapse.
"That pursuit your Absol used seemed to have scored a critical hit" Vis said.
"Damn it! Combusken return" walker said as a beam shot out from his pokeball returning combusken.
"Finally we have the advantage Prism recover" Matthias said.
The damage inflicted by combusken slowly started to disappear. After the move was done porygon seemed to be revitalized and ready to finish the battle.
But why did I have this sense of dread that we were completely out of our league. Vis hadn't made a single move since the perish song. To the crowd it might have looked as if he might have been ready to surrender but I knew better.
"Edge agility then wing attack the porygon" Vis said.
Scyther covered it's scythes in a white light and dashed for porygon in an instant.
"That could have easily stopped my perish song but you chose not to why?" I said
"Take a guess" Vis replied.
"Absol quick attack" I said as my Absol dashed at scyther sending both our pokemon back with the recoil.
"Prism psybeam" Matthias said.
Porygon continuously shot psybeam after psybeam making scyther have to back off while using night slash to slash at any of the attacks that came too close.
"This isn't even a challenge for you is it" I said finally.
"Well you aren't wrong I could easily win this match if I wanted too but where's the excitement there. I hate one sided matchups where the matches are predictable and boring. With trainers just using moves to attack no strategy no innovation" Vis said.
But this time it's different" He said as he cracked his knuckles.
"Edge get ready Night Slash the porygon" he said.
"That isn't going to work quick attack" I said.
"Edge change targets to absol with slash" he said as scythers changed from black to white.
"That won't work again absol switch to double team" I said.
"Forget on searching for the absol head for the porygon with night slash" he said.
"Go for a pursuit absol" I said as all the countless absol copies headed for scyther.
"Agility again and dodge" Vis said.
"And now slash" he said going through all the copies in the blink of an eye and managing to slash the correct absol.
"And again and again and again" he repeated.
"Absol quick attack and escape from there" I said but absol couldn't get enough time to quick attack.
"Prism agility and psybeam" Matthias said coming to absol's rescue.
The beam managed to hit scyther who was caught in the frenzy.
"Good shot" Vis said as the scyther easily tanked the hit.
"Absol are you ok?" I asked.
"Ab Ab" Absol replied with a weak cry.
I was sure another hit would cause it to faint.
"It's all up to you Matthias use agility to get to your fastest while Absol keeps that scyther at bay" I said.
"Are you sure about this?" he said looking serious for once.
"Yeah I'm pretty sure a single clean hit would take down Absol" I said.
"Fine lets do it. Prism agility" matthias said.
"Absol quick attack" I said.
"You still think you have a chance Scyther agility then wing attack" The scyther appeared in a burst of speed.
"Prism psybeam" Matthias said.
The psybeam once again hit on didn't seem phased though.
"Absol give it all you've got pursuit" I said as absol cloaked itself in darkness and dashed for scyther who had been knocked back.
The attack managed to hit.
"Edge slash" Vis said.
The scyther slashed at absol causing it to immediately faint.
'Atleast I managed to cause some damage. It's all up to you now Matthias'
