Pokémon League

Wikstrom’s door closes behind me, leaving three open doors to choose from. I pick the next one on this side of the hall. Another elevator lifts me into an arena.

Oh, goodness! Hello to you! So you’re the challenger. I’m Drasna, a trainer of Dragon types.

- Hello.

You know my grandparents came from a land far away and they used to tell me stories about the legendary pokémon of space and time. It’s how I became so interested in dragons.

Cool story, ma’am.

- You know I kinda sorta met Dialga once, oh and Palkia was there too…

Really? Oh you simply must tell me all about it!

- Not much to tell. They showed me some things and then I fell into another dimension where I met Giratina, you know, the third one Arceus made.

How fascinating! So few people have even heard about Giratina, I’ve only seen drawings! You must be a strong trainer to have even survived!

Fun times, almost getting me crushed in your pocket every time you want to battle some ancient super pokémon.

Well let’s see your skills first hand. Ready?

Go Dragalge!

- Go Zuul!

- No holding back!

I lift my arm up, the keystone on my wrist glows and Zuul transforms.

- Shadow ball…

Dragon pulse!

Zuul throws a ball of darkness at dragalge, it implodes on impact. Dragalge responds with a blast of dragonfire.

- Shadow ball…

Dragon pulse!

Zuul launches another dark orb and it drags dragalge into nothingness as it implodes.

Go Noivern!

- Dazzling gleam…

Dragon pulse!

Zuul lets out a burst of bright pink light, somehow injuring noivern. Noivern douses Zuul in dragonfire.

- Dazzling gleam…

Drasna sprays a full restore on noivern while Zuul reverses the healing done with more pink light.

- Dazzling gleam…

Drasna sprays another full restore on noivern which is immediately undone thanks to Zuul.

- Dazzling gleam…

Dragon pulse!

Zuul overwhelms noivern with yet another burst of pink light.

Go Altaria!

- Dazzling gleam…

Dragon pulse!

I’m not sure what it’s about the pink light that’s harmful to dragons but Zuul keeps using it. Altaria responds with a burst of dragonfire.

- Dazzling gleam…

Dragon pulse!

In quite a lot of pain, Zuul finishes Altaria off with that bright pink light.

Go Druddigon!

- Retreat… um, oh! Go Anastacia!

Dragon tail!

Druddigon strikes Anastacia with it’s tail, only to bounce off with no effect.

- Dazzling gleam!

Revenge!

Anastacia shines and blinds druddigon with bright pink light, somehow knocking druddigon out.

Oh you! You’re too much. You and your pokémon are simply charming! Go on. It’s time for you to show the last two of us how strong you are.

Meanwhile, not far from here…

Hmph, he said he’d be right behind me. No matter, I’m used to working alone. Why the forest spirit asked him too I’ll never know, I can handle this myself.

Watch out! Oof!

Hey watch where you’re going, you oaf!

Oh, sorry dude. Hey, do you happen to know where the pokémon league is? I’m on a mission!

What a coincidence, I’m heading that way too.

Oh great! Did the green fairy send you too? I was supposed to travel with this other guy but I guess he was too slow or something.

So the forest spirit dragged his friends into this too, I should’ve figured as much.

I’m Barry, by the way. Who’re you?

Just call me Silver.

Silver, that’s an odd name. Anyway let’s gogogo!

You’re going the wrong way!
