Full speed ahead
With me and Walker being out of the match the battle continued between Matthias and Vis. Porygon seemed to have a agility up on scyther but it was equal since scyther had an impressive speed stat.
"Prism recover" Matthias shouted after scyther managed to land a slash.
Porygon immediately stopped healed and rejoined the fight firing psybeams.
"This is getting tedious let's go all out shall we Edge agility!" Vis said.
"Prism agility!" Matthias ordered.
"Edge agility again" Vis said.
"Prism agili-""Stop you've already maxed out your agility uses" Walker interrupted him.
'Till now he did use it about 4 times, Walker's right'
"Helping your opponent now Walker?" Vis asked.
"Well is there a problem?" he questioned back.
"No. No there isn't Edge wing attack" Vis said.
The speed boosted scyther immediately cloaked itself in a white light and dashed forward.
"Porygon dodge" Matthias said.
Porygon barely managed to dodge scyther's incoming attack.
"What's this the pokemon are moving so fast our eyes are unable to keep up" The announcer said.
The scyther and the porygon turned into green and pink blurs respectively weaving through the arena.
"Psybeam"
"Dodge. Wing attack"
"Recover. Psybeam again"
"Slash"
The two of them kept exchanging attacks but scyther seemed to have the upper hand due to it's sheer speed. Porygon was keeping up thanks to recover. But it wasn't able to adapt fast enough which gave it a disadvantage.
"It's over why don't you just give up" Vis said after scyther managed to land a slash.
"Not yet Recover" Matthias as porygon managed to heal up to full.
"Fine *sigh* Scyther finish it with night slash" Vis said as scyther came forward to deliver the final blow.
"Prism use Trick room" Matthias said as a strange aura surrounded the room.
"Interesting" Vis said as prism easily managedto dodge scythers attack.
"Prism psybeam" Matthias said.
The psybeam hit scyther dead on causing it's movements to get sloppy.
'Confusion?'
"Take the initiative prism psybeam once more" The attack once again hit.
"And once more" he continued.
"Edge dodge" Vis said.
The scyther somehow managed to dodge the attack as it tripped and fell down.
"Go prism psybeam again" Matthias said.
"Dodge again" Vis said.
Scyther somehow miraculously was able to dodge again.
"How is he getting so lucky?" I said.
Taking a look at him he didn't seem even a tiny bit nervous even though he was at a disadvantage here.
'Something's wrong'
"Matthias hurry up" I said.
"I know I'm trying but this scyther keeps dodging my attacks. Psybeam" matthias said.
But nothing happened.
"Seems like psybeam's pp is exhausted you can quit acting now Edge" Vis said.
Immediately after the scyther straightened up and readied a wing attack.
"It was all a ruse" matthias said panicking.
"Yes and now you are unable to do anything except defend. Go scyther wing attack" Vis said.
"Dodge prism" matthias said.
"How long are you going to dodge don't you see it's all over" vis said.
"No it isn't perish song is still active. He just needs to stall long enough to win" I said.
"That's right Prism just continue to dodge" Matthias said.
"Let's see what ends first trick room or perish song" Vis said smirking.
The scyther kept on after porygon who was barely dodging the scythers strikes. The scyther had managed to adapt while porygon seemed to have grown tired from all the fighting. It's stamina was barely holding on.
"Edge use slash" Vis said.
Scyther once again lunged for porygon who almost managed to dodge but suddenly scyther got a speed boost and managed to porygon was forced into the dirt.
As the dust managed to clear porygon appeared with black circles on it's eyes.
"Both Absol and Porygon are unable to battle the winners are Vis and Walker. The finals will begin in a bit preceeded by the losers bracket for third place. Good luck" The announcer said.
With that the match was done with and now all that remained were the last two matches.
"So we lost" Matthias said.
He looked frustated to me but he wasn't complaining.
"Yeah, the matchup in itself was not in our favour it's a miracle we lasted so long" I said.
We were sitting in the benches of our waiting room before our match began. The losers bracket to decide 3rd place.
"Lets give this match all we got" I said trying to rile him up.
"Sure, may the best man win and by that I mean me" Matthias said as he stepped out into the arena.
"It's the last battle let's get this over with" I said to no one in particular as I followed after him.
"Lets begin the match for third place between Glaze and Matthias" The announcer said.
"Absol begin with double team" I said.
Absol created a number of clones that surrounded porygon.
"Prism use psybeam" Matthias said.
But it did nothing.
"Matthias...did you not use the tm they had given you?" I asked remembering the fact that the announcer had given matthias a tm.
"...I forgot" He said blankly.
I sighed.
"Absol use perish song and then just do whatever you want" I said.
Absol played the melody we had all come to know and love and just went in with the attacks.
"Uh prism dodge" matthias said.
Porygon barely managed to dodge a quick attack thanks to the agility it had used prior to this. But it was hit in the back by a pusuit. The rest of the match consisted of porygon trying to run away with absol chasing after it. Basically a game of tag with pokemon.
And so it finally ended. After a frustating battle where the crowd kept booing us my absol managed to land a pursuit on porygon making it faint and ending the match.
"I can't believe how much time that took, the crowd sure was enthusiastic" I joked.
"Yeah I'm glad I was able to get out of there. Though it was quite annoying to not do anything except run" he replied.
"When you say that my victory doesn't feel deserved you know" I said.
"Don't mind me i'm just venting you probably would have won even if I would have a move that had done damage" he said.
"I think you think too highly of me. Lets get to the arena the finals are about to begin" I said as I began walking.
"So who do you think is going to win?" Matthias asked matching my pace.
"Walker seems to have the type advantage.. no scratch that they are pretty equal in type matchup" I said.
We took a seat waiting for the next match to begin.
"Walker's definitely going to win here" A voice behind me who revealed herself to be Reanna said.
"That sounds like overconfidence to me since Vis is definitely a tough opponent. Also weren't you with someone else with you before?" I said.
"Yeah. Liz wanted to spend time with her parents they're seated in the front" Reanna said.
"Instead of sitting there alone in the back you might as well join us there's a sit next to Glaze here" Matthias said offhandedly.
"Maybe I will join you but not because you asked me too" she said.
"I have a name you know" Matthias said.
"I know" she said as she sat beside me.
I was in the middle with Matthias and Reanna at my sides. While Matthias passed snide comments which Reanna retorted to and I tried and failed to pacify them.
'Please let the match start'
My poor eardrums couldn't take any more of this incessant arguing.
