The Pokemon League Tournament Finals had started and Tana was as ready as she could be.
"Go Scizor," said Tana who wanted to use Scizor first because it never got to battle Nils in the Semifinals and Scizor was sent out.
"Go Arbok," said Suhana and an Arbok was sent out.
"This should be easy for Scizor," said Libby who knew Steel Types couldn't get damaged at all by Poison Type attacks.
"I don't think it will be that easy," said Gunter who had seen Arbok battle before.
"By decision of coin toss, Suhana will have the first attack," explained the referee.
"Arbok, use Coil," said Suhana and Arbok used the move of choice which raised its attack and defense.
"Use Iron Head," said Tana and Scizor used the chosen attack which gave some damage to Arbok but not as much because of Coil and Arbok flinched. "Now use Steel Wing," and Scizor used the attack that was selected which gave some more damage to Arbok.
"Use Fire Fang," said Suhana and Arbok used the decided attack which inflicted lots of super effective damage on Scizor who also flinched. "Now use Coil," and Arbok used another Coil which raised its attack and defense further.
"Use Iron Head," said Tana and Scizor used the selected attack which gave even less damage to Arbok who didn't flinch.
"Now use Fire Fang," said Suhana and Arbok used another Fire Fang which did more damage than the last one because of the second Coil and Scizor was knocked out.
"Scizor is unable to battle," said the referee, "Arbok wins."
"You did fine Scizor now take a rest," said Tana as she returned Scizor, "Go Ursaring," and Ursaring was sent out. "Use Strength," and Ursaring used the attack of choice which inflicted some damage on Arbok.
"Use Gunk Shot," said Suhana and Arbok used the decided attack which inflicted lots of damage on Ursaring who got poisoned which activated Ursaring's ability, Guts.
"Use Hammer Arm," said Tana and Ursaring used the attack that was decided which gave Arbok lots of damage because of Guts despite not being that effective.
"Use Acid Spray," said Suhana and Arbok used the attack of choice which did some damage on Ursaring whose special defense was lowered.
"Shadow Claw," said Tana and Ursaring used the attack that was chosen which knocked out Arbok.
"Arbok is unable to battle," said the referee, "Ursaring wins."
"You were great Arbok now it's time to rest," said Suhana as she returned Arbok, "Go Luxray," and a Luxray appeared on the battlefield. "Use Discharge," and Luxray used Discharge which gave Ursaring lots of damage because of Acid Spray and because Luxray's ability is Rivalry which increased the power of Discharge because both Luxray and Ursaring are girls.
"Use Hammer Arm Ursaring," said Tana and Ursaring used the chosen move which inflicted a huge amount of damage to Luxray because of Guts.
"Wild Charge Luxray," said Suhana and Luxray used the move that was decided which got boosted by Rivalry and Ursaring took tons of damage while Luxray also took damage.
"Use Thrash," said Tana and Ursaring used Thrash which knocked out Luxray and confused Ursaring.
"Luxray is unable to battle," said the referee, "Ursaring wins."
"You did a nice job Luxray now rest up," said Suhana as she returned Luxray, "Go Gliscor," and a Gliscor was sent out.
"Nice work Ursaring now return," said Tana who decided to return Ursaring because she was confused, poisoned, and had taken a lot of damage, "Go Altaria," and Altaria was sent out.
"Use Ice Fang," said Suhana and Gliscor used the attack of choice which did some super effective damage to Altaria.
"Use Cotton Guard," said Tana and Altaria used the decided move which raised its defense.
"In that case," said Suhana, "Use Sludge Bomb," and Gliscor used the attack that was chosen which gave some damage to Altaria who became poisoned.
"Use Moonblast," said Tana and Altaria damaged Gliscor with Moonblast which lowered Gliscor's special attack.
"Swords Dance," said Suhana and Gliscor used the selected move which increased its attack.
"Dragon Pulse," said Tana and Altaria attacked Gliscor with the chosen move which gave Gliscor a bunch of damage.
"Acrobatics," said Suhana and Gliscor inflicted a good amount of damage on Altaria by using Acrobatics.
"Use Sky Attack," said Tana and Altaria prepared for Sky Attack.
"Try to stop it with Ice Fang," said Suhana who was hoping to have Altaria flinch or freeze which would stop Sky Attack but when Gliscor hit Altaria with Ice Fang, Altaria didn't flinch or freeze.
Altaria then attacked Gliscor with Sky Attack which knocked out Gliscor.
"Gliscor is unable to battle," said the referee, "Altaria wins."
"You did your best Gliscor now rest up," said Suhana as she returned Gliscor, "Go Exploud," and an Exploud was sent out. "Use Thunder Fang," and Exploud used the move of choice which gave little damage to Altaria but it made Altara paralyzed.
"Use Dragon Pulse," said Tana but the paralysis stopped Altaria from attacking.
"Now use Boomburst," said Suhana and Exploud used the chosen move which gave a lot of damage to Altaria.
"Moonblast," said Tana and Altaria used the decided attack which inflicted damage on Exploud whose special attack was lowered.
"Shadow Ball," said Suhana who hoped to put Boomburst's power back to normal by lowering Altaria's special defense but when Altaria took damage from Shadow Ball, Altaria's special defense didn't change.
"Use Sky Attack," said Tana and Altaria prepared for Sky Attack.
"Try Shadow Ball again," said Suhana and this time, Altaria's special defense was lowered after Altaria took damage from Shadow Ball.
It was then, Altaria was unable to use Sky Attack because of the paralysis.
"Now Boomburst Exploud," said Suhana and Exploud used another Boomburst which gave Altaria tons of damage.
"Try Moonblast again," said Tana and Altaria used another Moonblast which lead to the exact same result as the last one.
"Boomburst once more," said Suhana and Exploud used a weaker Boomburst which gave Altaria less damage than the previous two.
"Dragon Pulse," said Tana and Altaria used the move of choice which gave a bunch of damage to Exploud.
"Boomburst again," said Suhana and Exploud used another Boomburst only for Altaria to dodge this time.
"Now try Sky Attack again," said Tana and Altaria prepared for another Sky Attack.
"Use Shadow Ball," said Suhana and Exploud used another Shadow Ball which gave some damage to Altaria whose special defense was lowered again.
"Attack with Sky Attack Altaria," said Tana and Altaria started to use the fully charged Sky Attack.
"One more Boomburst," said Suhana and Exploud knocked out Altaria with Boomburst while getting knocked out by Sky Attack at the same time.
"Both Pokemon are unable to battle," said the referee while Tana returned Altaria and Suhana returned Exploud.
"Go Hippowdon," said Tana and Hippowdon was sent out.
"Go Ludicolo," said Suhana and a Ludicolo appeared on the battlefield.
"Use Crunch," said Tana and Hippowdon used the selected move which gave some damage to Ludicolo whose defense got lowered.
"Energy Ball while it's still on you," said Suhana and Ludicolo blasted away Hippowdon with Energy Ball which gave a bunch of super effective damage to Hippowdon whose special defense was lowered.
"Use Stone Edge Hippowdon," said Tana and Hippowdon used the chosen attack which gave Ludicolo extra damage because of the lowered defense.
"Use Hydro Pump," said Suhana and Ludicolo started to use the move that was chosen.
"Use Dig to Dodge," said Tana and Hippowdon used the move of choice which allowed her to dodge Hydro Pump and give a bunch of damage to Ludicolo despite the fact it wasn't that effective.
"Try Hydro Pump again," said Suhana and Ludicolo used another Hydro Pump which gave Hippowdon lots of super effective damage.
"Stone Edge," said Tana and Hippowdon used another Stone Edge which knocked out Ludicolo.
"Ludicolo is unable to battle," said the referee, "Hippowdon wins."
"Alright," said Nils, "Tana's on a role." "There's no way she can lose now."
"Don't forget," reminded Firenze, "Suhana has used all five of the Pokemon that she's already revealed during the tournament." "There's no telling what the last Pokemon is or how strong it is."
"You're very good Tana," complimented Suhana, "Very few Trainers have managed to put me in a tight spot like this. "I'm very glad it took up until the finals for me to use my emergency Pokemon, go Cresselia," and to the surprise of everyone in the stadium, a Cresselia appeared on the battlefield.
"How did you get a Cresselia," asked Tana.
"I met Cresselia at one point of my journey and she was deeply injured most likely from battling a Darkrai," explained Suhana, "So I took Cresselia to a nearby Pokemon Center and after she was healed, Cresselia decided to come with me as thanks." "Since then, I've only used Cresselia in six on six battles as the final Pokemon or in battles that I know I can't win that easily and only the Pewter City Gym Leader was able to defeat her." "Now use Psychic Cresselia," and Cresselia used Psychic which knocked out Hippowdon.
"Hippowdon is unable to battle," said the referee, "Cresselia wins."
"You did a good job Hippowdon now it's time to rest," said Tana as she returned Hippowdon.
"How is Tana gonna defeat Cresselia," asked Ren.
"I don't know," answered Obelia.
"Go Zoroark," said Tana and Zoroark was sent out. "Use Dark Pulse," and Zoroark managed to give Cresselia super effective damage with the attack of choice.
"Moonblast," said Suhana and Cresselia used the move that was chosen which gave lots of super effective damage to Zoroark.
"I should have known Cresselia would know that move, " said Tana to herself, "Use Night Slash," and Zoroark used the selected move which gave more super effective damage to Cresselia.
"Moonblast again," said Suhana and Cresselia used another Moonblast which knocked out Zoroark.
"Zoroark is unable to battle," said the referee, "Cresselia wins."
"You did what you could Zoroark now take a good rest, "said Tana as she returned Zoroark, "Go Ursaring," and Ursaring was sent back out. "Use Shadow Claw," and Ursaring, who still had Guts activated from being poisoned, used the selected attack which gave tons of super effective damage to Cresselia.
"Use Psycho Cut," said Suhana and Cresselia used the chosen move which knocked out Ursaring who had taken tons of damage from Arbok and Luxray.
"Ursaring is unable to battle," said the referee, "Cresselia wins."
"You were awesome Ursaring now take a well deserved rest," said Tana as she returned Ursaring.
"Now only Blastoise remains," said Rex.
"She can still win this guys," said Nils.
"I hope you're right Nils," said Dean.
"Go Blastoise," said Tana and Blastoise was sent out. "Use Water Pulse," and Blastoise use the move of choice which did some damage to Cresselia who got confused.
"Try to use Psychic," said Suhana but Cresselia couldn't use the decided attack because of the confusion.
"Now use Hydro Pump." said Tana and Blastoise attacked Cresselia with the chosen attack which inflicted tons of damage on Cresselia.
"Moonblast," said Suhana but Cresselia still couldn't attack.
"Hydro Pump again," said Tana and Blastoise gave Cresselia more damage by using another Hydro Pump.
"Come on Cresselia, use Moonblast, I know you can do it," said Suhana but Cresselia still couldn't attack.
"Another Hydro Pump Blastoise," said Tana and Blastoise used Hydro Pump for the third time which gave even more damage to Cresselia who then snapped out of the confusion.
"Great work Cresselia," said Suhana, "Now Use Moonblast," and Cresselia used the move of choice which inflicted damage on Blastoise whose special attack was lowered.
"One more Hydro Pump," said Tana and Blastoise used a weaker Hydro Pump which missed Cresselia who had dodged the attack.
"Moonblast once more," said Suhana and Cresselia used another Moonblast which gave more damage to Blastoise whose special attack was lowered again.
"Skull Bash," said Tana, who knew she couldn't rely on Hydro Pump any longer, and Blastoise prepared for Skull Bash.
"Use Psychic," said Suhana and Cresselia used Psychic on Blastoise who took a bunch of damage and had his special defense lowered and then Blastoise inflicted damage on Cresselia with the fully charged Skull Bash. "Psychic once again," and Cresselia used another Psychic which did the same thing as the last one.
"Use Ice Punch," said Tana and Blastoise used Ice Punch which missed Cresselia who dodged.
"Finish this with Hyper Beam," said Suhana and Cresselia used Hyper Beam which knocked out Blastoise.
"Blastoise is unable to battle," said the referee, "Cresselia wins which means the winner of the Pokemon League Tournament is Suhana."
"Thanks for everything Blastoise," thanked Tana, "It's only because of you and the others that I managed to make it this far."
"Blastoise," said Blastoise happily and Tana then returned Blastoise.
"You were great in that battle Tana," said Suhana who had walked over after returning Cresselia, "I'm sure Cresselia would have been defeated if she had gotten hit by either of the two attacks she dodged." "I'm sure you will be a very strong and very famous trainer someday."
"Thanks Suhana," said Tana and Tana then left to go to her friend who later congratulated her on such an awesome battle.
Later during the awards ceremony, Suhana was given a trophy for winning the tournament and was granted the honour of battling the Elite Four and then Boyd, the champion, if she succeeded in defeating all four members of the Elite Four.
So what now," asked Gunter as he and the others were outside the Midnight Hotel having just checked out after the awards ceremony.
"Well," answered Firenze, "Now that the Pokemon League and Nils and Tana's wedding are behind us, I'm going back to the Cinnabar Gym and prepare for my own wedding and then after that, I'll become a Gym Leader that will surpass Forrest."
"I'm going to live with Libby and her parents while spending a lot of time working with Ketchum co as its vice president," answered Ren.
"Now that I've had the experience of a Pokemon Trainer," said Libby, "I'm now gonna spend time visiting my parents' four hotels and making sure everything's well with all of them while spending as much time with Ren a I can."
"I'm going to Hoenn for it's Pokemon League," answered Dean, "It has lots of sea there.".
"Obelia and I will go to Sinnoh to challenge the Gyms there and eventually the Pokemon League there," answered Rex.
"And while we do that," continued Obelia, "I'll do research on the Distortion World which I've heard several rumors about."
"Me and Tana are going to Kalos for the Pokemon League there after Firenze's wedding," answered Nils.
"And we're going to consider going to Kalos as our honeymoon," continued Tana.
"Well as for me," said Gunter answering his own question, "I'll head for Unova and see what I can do there.
"Well," said Rex, "Good luck to all of us," and then everyone started to travel to their homes.
