Pokémon League

I can hardly believe I managed to get through to you! It seems you’re in an eye of the storm of sorts, the chaos surrounding your area is… intense.

- Oh?

I managed to send a couple more pokémon to your PC.

Be careful in there. I’m not sure what to expect as you press on, it may or may not be familiar to you. Be sure to keep your communicator with you, I’ve got a whole team here poring over the telemetry. Hopefully we’ll have a solution by the time you reach the Hall of Fame. Good luck!

- Thanks.

The guards at the first gate demand to see my gym badges.

The first gym leader I ever battled. Why was Brock brought here?

Like most of the gym leaders, Maylene didn’t seem to notice what was going on.

Why did Clemont turn Mauville City into a giant mall?

Blaine seemed pretty chilled in a sauna.

I wonder where Uncle Norman is if not his gym?

Skyla still with her head in the clouds, I wonder if she found her plane?

Twin psychic gym leaders replaced with an electric gym leader… and herself?

She’s still out there…

I don’t remember each arena being inside a pagoda but the arenas themselves look familiar enough.

Oi, that look on your face says it all! Dis gonna be a good battle! Bring it on!

- Uh.

Go Mightyena!

- Go Rickert!

- Substitute!

Swagger!

Rickert spends some energy to generate a crude copy in front of himself. Mightyena shows off it’s swag, the substitute mostly ignores it.

- Power up punch!

Take down!

Rickert leaps over the substitute and bops mightyena on the nose, dealing critical damage. The shell bell Rickert is wearing chimes and heals him a little. Mightyena responds by trying to pounce on Rickert as he returns to safety behind the substitute but mightyena manages to miss both Rickert and the substitute.

- Power up punch!

Take down!

Rickert cracks mightyena in the nose again, the shell bell chimes again as mightyena flops to the floor.

Go Shiftry!

- Power up punch!

Fake out!

Shiftry slaps the substitute, it just wobbles around for a moment while Rickert punches shiftry across the jaw. The shell bell heals Rickert a little more.

- Power up punch!

Leaf blade!

Shiftry slashes the substitute into pieces. Rickert hits shiftry with his ever strengthening punch, sending it backflipping against the arena wall. The shell bell chimes again.

Go Absol!

- Power up punch!

Psycho cut!

Absol flings sharp crescent shaped energy at Rickert, striking him as he bounds forwards to uppercut absol and send it flying out of the arena. The shell bell reverses some of the damage Rickert took.

Go Cacturne!

- Power up punch!

Needle arm!

Rickert goes for an overhead smash, driving cacturne into the ground before it can do anything. Rickert is healed a little more from the shell bell.

Go Sharpedo!

- Power up punch!

Slash!

Sharpedo darts at Rickert, slashing at him with it’s fin. Rickert punches sharpedo into the ground, shattering some floor tiles. The small injury from sharpedo’s rough skin is reversed by the shell bell.

You’ve got what it takes all right! Go now and face the next challenge!
