Pokémon League

Good good, you’re getting closer.

- More questions?

No, not right now. I just wanted to update you on the situation.

- And?

Our agents just retrieved Oak’s time machine from Kanto. The eggheads are studying it right now and it’s got them all whipped up into a frenzy. Apparently Oak uses a different method of travel to us and the research team are excited to finally study his tech.

- Why not just approach the Doc himself?

He’s been very elusive. We’ve got triple the resources we used to find you dedicated to finding Oak. He’s like a ghost, we’ve been tracking you both since your travels in Kanto and it was by sheer luck I bumped into you in Kalos.

- You do know I didn’t first meet the Doc in Kanto, right?

Wait, what? You’re not from Pallet Town?

- My mom travels the world a lot to race rhyhorns, I was staying at my aunt’s in Pallet Town when I registered to be a trainer. So my ID card says I’m from Pallet Town but I’m actually from–

Sorry to interrupt but I’ve got to go, one of the nerds switched the machine on. I’ve got to go retrieve him from the 24th century, I’ll be right back!

I put the silver communicator orb thing back in my pack and enter the next arena.

Ah well if it isn’t Caldar!

- Wait, you remember me?

Of course! You’re all over the BuzzNav! The young hero who saved Hoenn from Groudon!

- But… I didn’t–

Now now, no need to be so modest. Let’s not stand around chit-chatting, you came here for a battle!

- Yeah but–

Go Glalie!

- Go Maggie!

- Flamethrower!

Hail!

Maggie blasts glalie with intense flames before it can move an inch.

Go Walrein!

- Maggie return! Go Rickert!

Surf!

Walrein summons a tidal wave that crashes down onto Rickert just as he leaves his pokéball.

- Power up punch!

Blizzard!

While building strength, Rickert bops walrein in the snout. Rickert’s shell bell chimes as it heals him a little. Walrein responds by blasting Rickert with freezing cold air, complete with chunks of ice.

- Power up punch!

Blizzard!

Building more strength, Rickert thumps walrein in the gut, the shell bell chimes along. Walrein blasts Rickert with more intensely cold air and ice.

- Power up punch!

Blizzard!

The shell bell chimes again as Rickert cracks walrein across the jaw, knocking it out.

Go Froslass!

- Waterfall!

Hail!

Froslass summons a hailstorm over the arena while Rickert summons a gout of water as he uppercuts froslass, sending it flying. Being ethereal in nature, froslass simply flew directly up through the roof and didn’t return. Rickert’s shell bell helps negate the pain of being battered by hail.

Go Froslass!

- Waterfall!

Confuse ray!

Froslass hits Rickert with a psychedelic ray right between the eyes. Rickert must’ve believed the arena wall was froslass because he smashed head first into it, the hail isn’t helping either.

- Rickert return! Go Maggie!

Ominous wind!

The eerie wind gives the hail a sinister glow as it batters Maggie.

- Flamethrower!

Confuse ray!

Froslass hits Maggie in the face with a mystic beam of many colours… before being evaporated by Maggie’s flamethrower. The hail continues to chip away at Maggie.

Go Glalie!

- Flamethrower!

Protect!

Glalie protects itself from Maggie’s flamethrower with a wall of ice. Thankfully the hail stopped.

- Flamethrower!

Hail!

Some delayed effect from the confuse ray earlier suddenly compels Maggie to punch herself in the face while glalie brings back the hail, which quickly begins to hurt Maggie again.

- Sunny day!

Protect!

While glalie protects itself from nothing, Maggie launches an intensely bright fireball over the arena which evaporates the unnatural hail.

- Flamethrower!

Freeze-dry!

Maggie shoves her armcannon into glalie’s face and proceeds to incinerate glalie from existence.

Not entirely unexpected from a trainer such as yourself.

- Yeah, about that Groudon thing…

Now now, stay modest and don’t let it go to your head!

- But I didn’t–

Go on and face Drake, he’s waiting for you in the next arena.
