Archie - BEGIN!
Meloetta and Dragonite both fly up about 20 feet and stare each other down while waiting on a command from their trainers.
Harmony - Meloetta, let's start this one off with a fast attack! Use Psybeam!
Meloetta starts the battle with a graceful pirouette, using Psybeam.
Bradley - Dragonite, let's dodge that and attack quick with Dragon Rush!
Dragonite dodges and counters with a powerful Dragon Rush, but Meloetta can't quite dodge the attack with its graceful movements.
Harmony - Let's go full power, baby! Transform and use Relic song!
Meloetta then changes its form, transitioning into its Aria Forme. It sings a beautiful melody, using its signature move, Relic Song. The soothing sound waves hit Dragonite, causing it to become drowsy and lowering its speed.
Bradley - We have to act fast here bud! Put everything you have into an Outrage!
Dragonite, feeling the effects of the lullaby, tries to regain its focus and launches a powerful Outrage attack. However, Meloetta's agility allows it to evade most of the attacks, only taking minimal damage.
Harmony - We have them where we want them, Meloetta! Let's finish this.
Meloetta responds with a dazzling display of moves, using Psybeam three times in a row to confuse Dragonite. The confusion causes Dragonite to become disoriented, making it miss its follow up Outrage. Seizing the opportunity, Meloetta unleashes a final powerful Hyper Voice, hitting Dragonite with a wave of sound energy. Dragonite falls, crashing into the ground.
Archie - Dragonite is unable to battle! *whispers to myself* In this battle, Meloetta's grace, agility, and melodic powers proved to be a formidable match for Dragonite. Harmony has trained incredibly hard.
Bradley - That was magnificent, Harmony! I'm hungry for more. Go, Gholdengo!
Harmony - Let's switch out for now! Come back, Meloetta, and Skeledirge, come on out!
Bradley - No time to waste with her! Let's use Shadow claw
Skeledirge and Gholdengo stand opposed. Gholdengo, swoops in quickly, dealing a huge Shadow Claw to Skeledirge in seconds.
Bradley - Again!
Harmony - Let's light him up, use Torch Song!
Gholdengo circles around and comes charging back in, with a dark energy surrounding it's arms. Skeledirge stands on two legs, and sends a fiery attack directly into Gholdengo's path. Striking him before he could use Shadow Claw.
Harmony - Another one, while he's down!
Bradley - Escape, and use Shadow Claw!
Skeldirge taps into its fiery passion within, and unleashes another extremely powerful Torch Song, making a direct hit on Gholdengo.
Gholdengo stands up, showing it's incredible resilience, zips towards Skeledirge in channeling its ghostly energy around its arm again. Moving in quick, and unleashes a bone chilling Shadow Claw onto Skeledirge.
After a second, with both Pokémon clearly exhausted. In the end, Skeledirge hit the ground first, giving Gholdengo the victory due to its tenacity, who faints slightly after.
Archie - Both Pokémon are unable to battle! Bradley is down to his last Pokémon, Harmony is down to two!
Bradley - That was incredible!!
Harmony - I suppose this means that Tyranitar is next! And feel free to mega evolve! I want to win fair if I do!
Bradley - You've got it! Let's go, Tyranitar!
Harmony - Let's finish this, Meloetta! Strike fast with a Relic Song!
Meloetta, uses, Relic Song, captivating Tyranitar with its enchanting melody.
Bradley - We aren't going to fall for your tricks again! Tyranitar, Mega Evolve!
Tyranitar begins to glow a bright white, and grows bigger and wider and scarier than before. Finally completing the mega evolution and becoming even more powerful than it was before. The waves of its power echoing throughout the battle field.
Bradley - Let's use Crunch!
Tyranitar retaliates with a devastating Crunch attack, chomping down on Meloetta with its powerful jaws. The impact leaves Meloetta reeling from the fierce blow.
Harmony - Let's go back to Pirouette form! And use Close Combat!
Meloetta wasting no time, transforms back into it's Pirouette form. She unleashes a wave of physical attacks, slamming into Mega Tyranitar and dealing significant damage.
Mega Tyranitar, fueled by its newfound strength, summons a powerful Sandstorm. A raging sandstorm engulfs the battlefield, causing damage to Meloetta with its abrasive winds.
Harmony - Let's use Hyper Voice!
Meloetta, determined to turn the tide, launches a devastating Hyper Voice attack. The powerful soundwaves crash into Mega Tyranitar, dealing a massive blow and leaving it momentarily stunned.
Bradley - While she's on the ground, Earthquake!
Mega Tyranitar, shaking off the effects of Hyper Voice, retaliates with a mighty Earthquake. The ground trembles beneath Meloetta's feet, causing it to lose balance and take substantial damage.
Harmony - Quick, use Relic Song!
Bradley - Hold on, and use Hyper Beam!!
With the battle reaching its climax, Meloetta unleashes its ultimate move, Relic Song. The echoes of its melodic voice grow stronger with each repetition, striking Mega Tyranitar with an overwhelming force. But Mega Tyranitar isn't done yet! It unleashes a devastating Hyper Beam. A colossal beam of energy surges forward, crashing into Meloetta with incredible force.
After an intense battle, Meloetta faints, falling to the ground, Harmony calling her back before she could hit the ground.
Archie - Meloetta is unable to battle! Harmony has one Pokémon remaining!
Harmony - *kisses pokeball* you did such a good job, sweetie. Now, it's time for my day 1. Let's go Rilly! Sweating yet, Champ?!
Bradley - This is what it's all about! Our back against the wall. Let's finish this, Tyranitar!
Harmony - I'm not wasting anytime here. Rilly! Gigantamax!
Rillaboom gets recalled and Harmony's pokeball grows 10 times its normal size, releasing GMAX Rillaboom, who towers over the battlefield.
Harmony - Let's go for a GMAX Drum Solo!
Rillaboom begins the battle with a thunderous beat from its massive drumsticks. It uses its signature move, G-Max Drum Solo, creating a powerful soundwave that shakes the battlefield. Meanwhile, Mega Tyranitar, though weakened, stands tall. It tries to withstand the onslaught but struggles to keep up with Rillaboom's energetic performance.
Bradley - Stand strong, Tyranitar! A little more! Use Hyper Beam!
Tyranitar, determined to fight back, musters its remaining power and unleashes a huge Hyper Beam attack. Although he's weak, he deals a massive Hyper Beam that manages to even hurt Rillaboom in his GMax state. This attack taking that much more stamina out of Tyranitar.
Harmony - He's weak! Max Strike!!
GMAX Rillaboom seizes the opportunity and launches Max Strike. With a tremendous force, it crashes into Mega Tyranitar, overwhelming it and leaving it struggling to stay in the battle.
Bradley - Hang in there, old friend! Hyper Beam!
Mega Tyranitar, feeling the pressure, attempts to retaliate with another Hyper Beam.
Harmony - Max Guard so it can't hit you!
Rillaboom, throws up a huge barrier, stopping the wave of energy from hitting him. After it's third move, Rillaboom shrinks down back to size. Facing Tyranitar on a more personal level.
Harmony - GMAX is over with, but we can still attack! Hammer Arm!
Rillaboom continues to dominate the battle, channeling its energy into a powerful Hammer Arm. It leaps forward with incredible speed, slamming into Mega Tyranitar and dealing a significant blow.
Harmony - Again!!
Rillaboom unleashes one final blow with its devastating Hammer Arm. The resounding hit echoes throughout the battlefield, overwhelming Mega Tyranitar and forcing it to its knees and then onto the ground.
silence*
Archie - *stuttering* T-Tyranitar is unable to battle! Harmony and Rillaboom Win!
Bradley - You are the first leader to ever beat me in one of these! That was truly impressive! All of your Pokémon have gotten so incredibly strong. I feel sorry for any trainer coming to challenge you this year. I want you to challenge me for Champion after the Badge Run.
Harmony - I will!
Archie - Holy shit, Harmony. That was some of the best battling I've ever seen. Meloetta was insane to watch. And Mr. Bradley, your Tyranitar took a lot of big hits, and was still able to stand. That's one of the most resilient Pokémon I've ever seen. Thank you guys for letting me witness this. I learned so much, and I know I am so far behind this.
Bradley - I hate for the first time we meet, you see me lose! But that was a spectacular battle. I haven't lost in such a long time, I forgot what this feeling felt like. I'm both upset at myself, and feel more motivated than I have in a long time. Thank you, Harmony. I'll be on my way now, but the best of luck to you, and good luck on your Badge Run, Archie!
Harmony - See you later! Make sure to send out a warning to the Badge Run contestants to think twice before coming to my gym.
Bradley - Hahaha, will do! See you two around.
*4 hours later*
Harmony - HOLY SHIT, ARCHIE!! Did you see that?!?
Archie - I did! You did amazing.
Harmony - Gahhhh!!! Meloetta and Skeledirge and Rilly did absolutely terrific!
Archie - I really thought Meloetta was going to do it herself! That Tyranitar could take some hits.
Harmony - I'm basically a lock for Elite 4 now! I don't think even they could have beaten him. I'm so freaking excited now. That's the freaking power of my musical Pokémon. And Ludicolo didn't even get to go out there! Obstagoon and Lapras are just as ready too. Ooooh!!!
Archie - You deserve this one! I now know I have to get extremely good if I want to have a chance of beating you in a battle now! I have 4 months left. I still need 2 Pokémon, and would love for all of my Pokémon to be about Level 45 or higher. So I think I'm the morning, I'll head out and go on a solo adventure in these mountains!
Harmony - Now Archie, we both know you'll have a huge Camerupt kill you in 3 days. You've "went out on your own" twice now and had to be saved by a mystery Pokémon.
Archie - I won't! You know these areas better than anybody. Could you please draw me a map, or at least what Pokémon would be where and the levels there if you know them.
Harmony - Sure I can! Promise me you won't get hurt. And for goodness sake, try to find out what that mystery Pokémon is!
Archie - I'll hopefully have it on my team by the time the Badge Run begins!
Harmony - Are you going to come back here?
Archie - No, probably not. I'll go back to Preya after I train in these mountains. I want to meet up with Noah and Naomi so we can all go to Grand City together for the Badge Run Festival!
Harmony - Ahhh, I should've known you would try to meet up with your little girlfriend before the festival! A few months of hard work and training, and she's bound to fall in love with you!
Archie - I'd be a fool to not try to take her to the festival!
Harmony - Yeah, yeah! I'll get all of this ready, and I'll personally take you guys to Grand City! All of the Gym Leaders go and love to place bets on which trainers make it to the tournament at the end!
Archie - I'll make you some quick money! Put a bet on Archie.
Harmony - I guarantee you, a few of the leaders will just because we're related. Buuut you need to make a name for yourself! Catch a cool Pokémon, or beat somebody really important at the Festival in a battle. There's always one off battles there, and some are quite fun to watch.
Archie - I'm so ready! 4 months away. I'm going to go get some shut eye. I'll leave out around lunch time tomorrow. I'll come and help make the map if you need!
Harmony - I'm just going to do some more celebrating tonight. I'll make your map in the morning. Good night!
The next day at noon
Harmony - Here's your notebook! A map made no sense, so I just made a notebook with maps on the left side, and the Pokémon and level range in the right side. I'm sure you'll see many powerful Pokémon. So take these potions and revives. Here's some food to hold you over.
Archie - Thank you! I'll see you in a few months in Preya. Next time we see each other, I'll be a totally different trainer. Thank you for everything you've taught me since we've been here.
Harmony - I have no doubt about it! And not a problem. I had a head start with my mom, I figured you deserved one as well! You want to leave on the path down by the Pokémon Center. Remember, Preya is only 20 miles east of here. You could get there in 2 days with a good pace through these mountains. Use your Pokémon if you get in trouble.
Archie - I know! Stop worrying. I'll see you soon! Bye, Harmony!
Harmony - *teary eyed* See ya later, Arch!
And so for the first time of my Pokémon journey, I was off on a expedition of my own. Just me, the wilderness, and my team of 4.
