Chapter 57: The Dragon Loving Sea Captain! Vs. Elite Four Drake!
During breakfast the following morning, Michael was a bit lost in his thoughts.
Michael - "It's almost over. Our time in Hoenn is slowly coming to an end. But it's been a fun journey regardless. And I know for sure that Sinnoh will be just as fun."
Michael then focused on the two remaining battles in front of him.
Michael - "Between the two of them, Drake's honestly the bigger threat right now. Mostly due to his dragons. But I'm sure who I use for the battle can handle it no problem."
After having breakfast with the others, they made their way over to the central stadium. There Michael was escorted out, finding Drake and Audrey waiting for him.
Drake - "I am the last of the Hoenn Pokémon League's Elite Four, Drake the dragon master! In their natural state, Pokémon are wild living things. They are free. At times they hinder us. And at other times they help us. For us to battle with Pokémon as partners, do you know what it takes? Do you know what is needed? If you don't, then you'll never prevail over me!"
Audrey - "This is a 6-on-6 battle between Elite Four Drake and Michael Masi. The battle will continue all Pokémon on one side are unable to battle. Are both Trainers ready?"
Both Trainers activated their Battle Disks.
Michael/Drake - "Ready!"
