"This is it! No hold barred."
I nodded, a huge, shit-eating, grin plastered to my face. "Anything goes."
Both Cynthia and I understood that we weren't just talking about the rules of the battle. Although it wasn't widely advertised, there was an impressive "playroom" beneath Victory Road. Trainers who participated in adult rules battles against the final four had access to pretty much any toy they could imagine, and probably a number that they never had.
My path here had been a long one. Over two years traveling. Stuck in the world of a video game. In truth, I wasn't entirely certain we'd get a chance to make it to the playroom. There was the strong possibility that if I "beat the game" I would finally be transported back to my old life. I wasn't sure how I felt about that but I didn't have the luxury to dwell on it now. Cynthia was among the most formidable opponents in Sinnoh and we were about to start the battle for the championship.
"Have you been keeping well? I hope my advice and introductions have been worthwhile. Together, you and your pokemon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned...and the confidence...I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why we're both here. As Pokemon League Champion, I accept your challenge!"
"Chide, come on out!" "Spiritomb, I choose you!" Without any more preamble, the battle was on. "Hydro Pump!" "Spiritomb, Dark Pulse!"
My giant penguin, Empolion, opened his mouth and an impossible torrent of water began to lash out towards Cynthia's purple and green will-of-the-whisp dark-ghost dual type. Meanwhile, the green and purple ball of fire gathered energy that instantly shot out in every direction in a ring around the pokemon. The dark energy passed right through the physical manifestation of Chide's blast of water and both attacks hit the opposing pokemon virtually simultaneously.
"You're doing great, Chide. Keep it up!" I shouted as my pokemon staggered from the force of the blow. The stream of water had hit Spiritomb but the ball-shaped pokemon rolled out of the line of fire after being blasted only a foot or so back.
"Distance didn't work so well." Cynthia reasoned as she gave her partner instructions. "Let's see if we can sully the air a bit, so we stand a better chance of dodging that Hydro Pump."
It was a sound tactic. Although powerful, Hydro Pump was notorious for its poor accuracy. I wasn't about to trust it more than once if I had any choice whatsoever. Besides, Spiritomb seemed to favor distance attacks, so I figured it would be better to get close in.
"Chide, charge him with Steel Wing!." "Spiritomb, Silver Wind!"
Silver dust began to blast from the dark flames of Spiritomb's body in much the same fashion as water had poured from my Empolion. I flinched in sympathy for my poor Chide. If you've ever been in a sandstorm or hailstorm, you can imagine the damage it does.
Meanwhile, Chide braved the assault with a charge. His right wing glowed briefly before it apparently transmuted into a shining matte steel. He closed his eyes and seemed to hover forward at speed. His body shuddered under the continued particulate impact but he bulled through until his wing smacked the floating ball of fire aside.
"Spiritomb, Psychic!"
Cynthia wasted no time on banter as she quickly issued her next command. Chide was still trying to stop and turn back towards his opponent when the Spiritomb's eyes began to glow blue. The same glow encased Chide in an aura of power and held him fast. I knew that attack well and knew the pressure it put on the target.
Despite the dire circumstances, Chide impressed me through his resistance. Not only did he continue to try to fight against the forces holding him still but little by little, inch by inch, he began to turn.
"Yeah! Go, Chide! You can do it!" I cried out in moral support.
You could see the strain on the faces of both pokemon. While it was a physical challenge against the ghost's mental skills, it was my Empolion's will that tipped the balance. Once he had turned to nearly face his foe, he focused his intent on just his head, aware that it would allow him a couple of moves while reducing the force needed to turn.
"Chide, unleash your Blizzard!"
Every remaining speck of silver that remained floating in the air was instantly pushed aside by the assault of snow and hail that burst out of Chide's open beak. The Spiritomb was blasted backwards. The attack ruined her concentration and Chide was free. With more maneuverability, he was able to turn more fully towards his enemy and keep the freezing blast on his foe.
"That enough, Spiritomb. You did a good job. Rest now." Cynthia didn't even wait for the attack to end before she pulled out a pokeball and called her back. A beam of red light shot out and engulfed the beleaguered pokemon. Chide ceased his attack the moment it was no longer necessary. It hadn't really been a KO, but we both knew the dark-ghost was out of the battle.
"Roserade, your turn!"
Cynthia knew I had blizzard at my disposal, so she must had banked on the fact that it was a slow attack to heat up, and my Empolion wasn't the epitome of speed. All it would take was one good hit and the penguin would fall. Fortunately, I had an attack considerably faster that would work almost as well.
"Chide, Drillpeck!"
Once more, my penguin launched himself straight at his opponent, spinning his whole body so that his beak resembled a drill. Roserade and Cynthia worked as a flawless team to focus the power needed for Energy Ball. Energy coalesced, Goku style, between Roserade's forward thrust blossom hands.
Chide very nearly made it in time to break through. Unfortunately, Cynthia's grass-poison pokemon pointed its twin flowers at my very first pokemon and unleashed a ball of energy that blasted Chaide back into the wall. Like the champion before me, I had my pokeball out and retrieved the Empolion from the field even before we could see his eyes swirling with defeat.
Cynthia and I eyed each other over the field of battle. Both of us had nothing but respect for the other. Well, respect and no small measure of lust. I couldn't help but smile at the thought of what would come after the contest, no matter who won. She returned the smile but wagged a finger at me, chastising me for my temporary lack of focus.
"Poe, you're up!" Cynthia flinched when my next choice coalesced into a Honchkrow. Either one of us could switch out pokemon but both were too stubborn to do it. Besides, there was a strong possibility that the pokemon we tried to pull out would take heavy damage while it gained its bearings.
"Poe, Fly!" "Roserade, quickly, Sludge Bomb before he gains height!"
My Honchkrow proved faster than her Roserade. Within moments he was already much too high to be hit by Cynthia's poison attack. He circled around, building up momentum before he dove. His wings tucked in to his sides and his feet were tucked up, ready to lash out and strike with the combined force of his strength and gravity.
"Roserade, now, use Toxic!"
Cynthia hoped she could get the attack in before my pokemon landed his blow. It didn't work. Poe swooped down with beauty more befitting an eagle or a falcon than a debonair-yet-plump crow. His claws lashed out and struck Roserade right in the chest and tossed her backwards. She landed heavily and rolled over and over on her side. Once she stopped rolling, her eyes were the very distinct spirals I never got used to seeing in person.
Cynthia's shoulders hunched. She was far from defeated but she shared my concern for our pokemon. I hated to see my pokemon fall. Despite the determination to keep fighting, you could see the pain each bit of damage caused. All you can do is trust them to know their own limits.
She switched out the fainted Roserade for Lucario. My eyebrows bunched together in confusion. Since I had one myself, I knew it was a fighting-steel type. While steel could resist Poe's flight attacks, the fighting half was especially vulnerable to them. I figured it would once more come down to speed and pure power.
"Poe, Fly again!" "Lucario, Aura Sphere."
Once more, Poe got the jump on his opponent and launched into the air. Her Lucario crouched down in a classic anime chi-gathering pose and energy began to form between her hands. She tried to release the blast at my Honchkrow before he got out of range but focusing the energy had taken too long.
"Lucario, again!" Without missing a beat, the fox-faced anthro crouched again and began to focus her chi, even as Poe circled to build momentum.
"Poe, quickly! Before he can finish building his energy!"
