My Pokémon Story
Kanto story The Pokémon league Semi-Finals
I had all evening to decide what Pokémon to use and see what Connor had, according to the data on all ttrainers competing Connor has only battled using 10 Pokémon but doesn't stick to one type, while I had a lot of Pokémon to choose from, I had to put a lot of heart into them too.
The next day was the semi final round and Kirk had already won his battle and moving on to the finals, who ever won this battle faces him.
Mine and Connor's battle began Connor chose his Pikachu to battle, now I'd seen his Pikachu battle and the power it possessed my plan wasn't to use a Pokémon that could just beat it but to copy that power as well, so I chose my Ditto.
Ditto imminently transformed into Pikachu and was ready to battle.
Connor's Pikachu attacked first with thunder, it was a hit but not very effective, Ditto countered with its thunder, but it wasn't very effective either.
Connor's Pikachu and my Ditto both used Thunderbolt but both weren't very effective.
I ordered Ditto to use agility and raised its speed, Connor ordered Pikachu to use thunder, but it missed.
I ordered Ditto to use thunder and it was a hit but also not very effective.
Connor ordered Pikachu to use agility and raised its speed, so I did the same and ordered Ditto to use agility and raised it speed even more, eventually the two used a close ranged thunderbolt attack and both looked beat, but then Connor's Pikachu got back up and used quick attack and it was a critical hit then finished off with a thunderbolt on Ditto, Ditto was unable to battle.
I called back Ditto and chose Golem.
Connor called back Pikachu and chose Squirtle.
Connor ordered Squirtle to use water gun, but Golem quickly used earthquake and it was a big hit and the water gun missed.
Golem then used strength but Squirtle quickly used withdraw and raised its defence before the hit.
Golem then used rock slide but Squirtle evaded the attack.
Golem then goes for another strength, but then Squirtle uses hydro pump on Golem a critical hit also super effective.
Squirtle finished of Golem with Bubble beam, Golem was unable to battle.
I called back Golem and chose Gengar.
Connor was surprised to see me battling with a Gengar, knowing that only ghost types can beat ghosts and since he doesn't have one it wasn't going to be easy.
Connor called back Squirtle and chose his Snorlax.
Feeling confident Connor had just slipped up I ordered Gengar to use night shade and I was a hit and it hurt.
Connor ordered Snorlax to use body slam, but the attack had no effect on Gengar then used Night shade again doing the same amount of damage.
Connor ordered Snorlax to use hyper beam but once again had no effect, Connor then realised both body slam and hyper beam are both normal attacks and have no effect on ghosts.
Gengar then used confuse ray and Snorlax was confused and hurt itself in its confusion.
Gengar then used its new move psychic on Snorlax and it was a big hit, Snorlax was unable to battle.
Connor called back Snorlax and brought out his Lapras.
Lapras attacked with water gun but Gengar countered with psychic on Lapras.
Lapras tried water gun again and Gengar countered with psychic again, but this time Lapras used surf and it was a big hit on Gengar.
Gengar then used night shade while Lapras used Ice beam, the two attacks collided in a huge explosion knocking out both Pokémon, Gengar and Lapras were both unable to battle.
We both called back our Pokémon, I chose Electabuzz and Connor chose Ivysaur.
Electabuzz used thunder, although it wasn't very effective Ivysaur was paralyzed.
Ivysaur fought back with razor leaf and it was a big hit on Electabuzz, Electabuzz then used thunder punch doing a lot of damage to Ivysaur.
Ivysaur then used leech seed on Electabuzz to slowly drain its energy, Electabuzz tried thunder again but this time it missed.
Ivysaur then used vine whip, but Electabuzz blocked its attack and caught it vine whip.
Electabuzz finished it off with seismic toss, Ivysaur was unable to battle.
Connor called back Ivysaur and chose Pikachu.
Pikachu attacked with quick attack, a small hit on Electabuzz, Electabuzz fought back with thunder punch, it wasn't very effective, Electabuzz's HP was zapped by leech seed.
Pikachu used thunderbolt, but then Electabuzz quickly blocked by using light screen, the attack wasn't very effective and cut in half.
Pikachu then used quick attack again hitting Electabuzz, Electabuzz tried to grab it for seismic toss, but Pikachu dodged by using agility then finished it off by using quick attack and it was a critical hit, Electabuzz was unable to battle.
I called back Electabuzz and chose Venuasaur.
Connor's Pikachu looked really tired, so Connor called back Pikachu and chose his Charizard, his only fully evolved Pokémon he's used in this whole battle.
Charizard attacked with flamethrower, it was super effective but the damage was cut in half by light screen.
Venusaur used vine whip and wrapped up Charizard and it couldn't move.
Charizard tried to use flamethrower but it failed due to the vine whip sealing Charizard's mouth.
Venusaur then used toxic and badly poisoned Charizard.
Venusaur began absorbing light to get ready to use solar beam, while Charizard still couldn't move but was still taking damage from poison.
Suddenly Charizard broke free and flew up and launched a flamethrower and Venusaur used solar beam and the two attacks collided in a huge explosion.
Suddenly in the Charizard attacked Venusaur with fly, it was super effective and a critical hit.
Charizard finished it off with fire blast, Venusaur was unable to battle.
I called back Venusaur and felt really confident, although I only had one Pokémon left all six of Connor's Pokémon had battled and are tired also his strongest Pokémon Charizard is still badly Poisoned, one more thing this last Pokémon is my strongest levelled Pokémon.
I chose Dragonite.
The whole stadium was surprised because this was the first time anyone had used a Dragonite in this year's tournament.
Connor looked at Charizard and asked if it could still go on and Charizard nodded yes.
Connor ordered Charizard to use flamethrower, Dragonite blocked it and it was not very effective.
I ordered Dragonite to use ice beam, Charizard dodged by flying into the air, Dragonite flew after it.
Dragonite attacked with ice beam, it was a small hit on Charizard, Charizard used flamethrower but it wasn't very effective.
Charizard charged in to use seismic toss, but then Dragonite evaded the attack and used thunderbolt on Charizard, it was a critical hit, plus super effective.
Charizard was really low on HP one more attack would be the end.
Refusing to give up, Connor ordered Charizard to use fire blast, but Dragonite Countered with hyper beam, the two attacks collided in a huge explosion.
When the dust cleared both Pokémon were standing but Charizard went down, Charizard was unable to battle.
Connor called Charizard back and chose Squirtle.
Squirtle attacked using hydro pump, but Dragonite countered with ice beam and froze Squirtle.
Squirtle was frozen solid and unable to move.
Dragonite finished off Squirtle with thunderbolt, Squirtle was unable to battle.
Connor called back Squirtle and brought out his only battling Pokémon, Pikachu.
Pikachu attacked with thunderbolt, but Dragonite defended with thunderbolt.
Dragonite then used dragon rage, but Pikachu evaded the attack by using agility.
Dragonite kept attacking with dragon rage but Pikachu continued dodging but getting tired.
Connor ordered Pikachu to use thunder on Dragonite, it was a big hit, but Dragonite could still fight.
Pikachu goes in for quick attack, it was a small hit but then Dragonite uses ice beam on Pikachu's feet freezing them to the ground.
Pikachu couldn't move.
Dragonite went to end the battle with hyper beam, Dragonite fired its hyper beam and it was a big hit on Pikachu.
It looked like Pikachu was down and out, but just before the announcer could announce Pikachu out, Pikachu got back up.
Everyone was shocked that, that little Pikachu just refused to give up, and slowly walked towards Dragonite in pain with its cheeks sparking with electricity.
I ordered Dragonite to use hyper beam again, but Dragonite needed to recharge before it could again.
Pikachu still hadn't gone down as it didn't want to let Connor down or his other Pokémon.
Suddenly just before Dragonite attacked Connor ran onto the battle field and grabbed hold of Pikachu, without thinking I ordered Dragonite to stop.
Dragonite stopped its attack and looked to the field and saw what we almost did.
Connor surrounded the match and gave up.
With this surrender I was the victor moving on the finals to battle Kirk.
Once the battle was over Connor was in the locker room tending to his injured Pikachu, but then I walked in and asked how Pikachu was doing.
Pikachu seemed okay but was really weak and needed to get to the Pokémon centre.
"I just wanna say, you put up a good fight, you almost had me off guard" I said.
"Thanks, and good luck to you in the finals" said Connor.
"And good luck to you too in your match" I said.
"what are you talking about? I lost doesn't that mean I'm out?" said a surprised Connor.
"Wait you don't know; the two loosing trainers get a chance to battle for third place tomorrow" I said.
In this surprised Connor rushed out the locker room to get ready for tomorrow as did I.
Connor and me both went to the Pokémon centre and healed our Pokémon, after that and dinner I chose my team, from watching Kirk's battles I knew he had some strong Pokémon and that Kirk battles with his head.
