"Crobat! Let's go!" yelled Brock as a 4 winged purple bat materialized above the battlefield.
"Hariyama, fighting stance!" called Greta as sent out her arm thrust pokemon.
"Smart choice by Brock using a flying type." Observed Max.
"And it's double effective because Crobat is also a Poison type. Fighting type moves aren't very effective against poison types." Added Tracey.
Hariyama, use arm thrust!
Hariyama's hands started to glow white as it charged at Crobat.
Crobat wing attack.
Crobat's wings started to glow to as it battered Hariyama with a super effective move.
Hariyama, force palm!
Hariyama hit Crobat with its hand and sent it across the battlefield.
Crobat use cross poison!
Crobat crossed its wings and a purple X appeared in front of them. It then separated its wings sending it across to Hariyama landing a direct hit. Purple static then appeared around Hariyama.
"Look at that, Hariyama has been poisoned." Observed Max.
"Now Brock can easily win!" shouted May.
"I just hope it's that easy." Said Tracey.
Crobat, finish it with wing attack!
Crobat preceded to charge in for the win.
Hariyama focus punch!
Hariyama closed its fist and it glowed with a red light.
Dodge it now!
Crobat moved out of the way and flew behind Hariyama.
Use sludge bomb!
Crobat shot a purple blob from its mouth
Hit it Hariyama!
Hariyama quickly turned around and jumped up at Crobat. It went through the sludge bomb and hit Crobat with a powerful focus punch. Crobat fell to the ground, but was still conscious with Hariyama standing over it. It soon fell to the ground, succumbed to the poison.
"Hariyama is unable to battle, Crobat's the winner!" Shouted the referee.
As Greta returned Hariyama there was a discussion in the stands.
"Why was that focus punch so powerful?" asked May in shock.
"Wait, was that guts?" asked Dawn.
"Yeah" replied Tracey. "It was activated when Hariyama was poisoned. But because Crobat is a flying/poison type, that move only caused ¼ of the damage."
"Brock is doing well, I hope he can keep it up." Added Ash.
"Crobat return. You did well, get some rest." Brock said to his winning pokemon. "Swampert come on out." He called as his mudfish appeared in front of him.
"Heracross, battle stance!" Greta as she sent out her second pokemon.
"Swampert? So Brock evolved his Marshtomp." Said Ash.
"Swampert looks really tough." Added May.
Swampert use muddy water!
A huge wave of mud made its way toward Heracross. The mud flowed over it and obscured its vision.
Use mega horn!
Heracross's horn glowed green and it charged at Swampert, hitting it directly.
Now use focus punch!
Heracross took a bunch of blind shots, all of which failed to connect.
Water gun!
Swampert shot a stream of water at Heracross. It hit it and washed away most of the mud.
Heracross use drain punch!
Heracross's fist was surrounded by a green ball and hit Swampert halfway across the field.
"Swampert return." Called brock as he put the hurt mudfish back in its ball. "now, go Crobat." The 4 winged bat showed up again.
"Such a smart move using a flying type against Heracross, who is a fighting and bug type." Said Gary.
"But Crobat has already been hurt, he better do this quick." Said Dawn worriedly.
"That's the thing though, Crobat is a really fast pokemon, so if he does this right it should not be much of a problem." Replied Gary showing off all of his knowledge.
Heracross horn attack.
Heracross charged head first in to Crobat.
Shadow ball!
Crobat formed a shadowy blob in front of its mouth and fired it at Heracross, landing a hard hit.
"Stay strong Heracross!" Greta called to her horn pokemon.
Now wing attack!
Before Heracross could react, it was badly hit with a multitude of wing slashes. It then fell on its back with swirls in its eyes.
"Heracross is unable to battle, Crobat wins!" called the ref.
The crowd went wild as Greta was left with 1 pokemon.
"Alright, win this Brock!" shouted Ash. He was happy for his friend who was 1 pokemon away from victory.
"Medicham, battle stance." Called Greta as she sent out her last pokemon.
Crobat use shadow ball!
Use calm mind.
Medicham just stood there and took the attack.
Now use wing attack!
Counter with ice punch!
The 2 super effective moves collided. When the smoke cleared only 1 pokemon was left standing.
"Crobat is unable to battle, Medicham is the winner!"
"Wow, with just 1 hit." Said may softly.
"Was it because of calm mind?" asked Dawn.
"No. Calm mind raises Medicham's special attack/defence, but ice punch was a physical move, it had nothing to do with it." Replied Tracy.
"I'll bet that she used calm mind to lessen the damage from the shadow ball, and to prepare itself for Swampert's water gun and muddy water attacks." Informed Gary.
"Wow, she is really thinking ahead." Added May.
"Swampert go!" yelled Brock as Swampert returned to the battle.
Now use muddy water!
A wave of mud was sent toward Medicham.
Use psychic!
Medicham's eyes glowed a bright blue as the wave was dispersed by a telekinetic power.
Use mud bomb.
Just as the water was gone, a big ball of mud and dirt landed a direct hit on Medicham. Mud was now caught in its eyes and it couldn't see.
Now use ice punch!
Swampert's fist glowed in a chilly blue and it charged toward Medicham.
NOW! HIGH JUMP KICK!
Medicham jumped up at precisely the right time and hit Swampert square in the chin.
Finish with ice punch!
Medicham's fist glew in the same blue as it charged at Swampert.
Swampert, use hammer arm!
Swampert swung its hefty arm around and connected with Medicham's fist. Both attacks hit hard but 1 of the was unable to continue.
"Swampert is unable to battle, Medicham is the winner."
Brock had his head down as he returned his beaten mudfish.
"Brock only has 1 pokemon left." Said May.
"True, but that pokemon has not even battled yet." Interjected Tracey.
"Who could it be?" asked Dawn.
"I don't Know." Replied Ash. "Steelix, Croagunk, Sudowoodo and Golem would be at a type disadvantage, but he could still use Ninetails, Forrtres or Ludicolo." Informed Ash.
At this time Brock had sent out his last pokemon. To everyone's surprise, it wasn't any of the pokemon Ash had mentioned. It was a sickly looking pokemon that has a unsightly red blob under its chin, but it looked tough, in perfect health and ready to battle.
"No, way" said Ash in shock.
"Why is he using that! It is at a He-uge disadvantage!" yelled Max.
"Quiet down!" Snapped Gary. "Brock is not stupid, I'm curious as to what his strategy is."
"He better have one." Ash said to himself. "Or Brock has just thrown away his chance of winning."
