Victory Road was pretty empty... until I reached the end. There, I was challenged by Nathan to another battle. It was a pretty rough one. Dom was the MVP, taking out Sneasel, Golbat and Feraligatr. Scarlet dealt with Haunter, and Ash II took out Magneton and Kadabra. At the end, most of my pokemon had very little health left... but we made it out without casualties. Though it was close, because Ash II was paralyzed from the Magneton battle.

After a bit of training, I'm ready for the Elite 4!

First up Will. Sadako falls asleep on the first turn, which puts me in a bad position. Not a good start. But she wakes up in time to knock out his first Xatu. Jynx is up next, and Sadako goes critical and... still knocks out Jynx! He calls out Slowbro, and I swap to Dom, who THunderbolts it to death. A little damage, but nothing we can't handle. He sends out Exeggutor, so I send out Ash II who takes it out with a flamethrower. Last is his final Xatu, who goes down to two flamethrowers. Not a bad start.

Second was Koga. He leads with Ariados, who doesn't attack on first turn, so I decide to spend some time setting up two sword dances. Earthquake takes it out, then Forretress. Venomoth goes down to Two Bug Bites. Muk to an Earthquake, then I swap out to Dom. That's when things get tricky. Crobat uses Double Team over and over, and Dom keeps missing. Worse, he's poisoned... still, we made it out without casualites, as Crobat falls to a single Thunderbolt.

Third was Bruno. Drusilla used three Sword Dance's, then just earthquaked everything to death. Bruno used nothing but Counter. One earthquake from Drusilla took everything out.

Fourth was Karen. Drusilla (who was proving to be the MVP of the Elite 4 run) set up Sword Dance three times, and then took out everything with X Scissor except Gengar. I swapped in Dom, who took it out with Thunderbolt, then took out the Murkrow with Thunderbolt as well. Will had been the biggest challenge. But I knew I wasn't done yet. Last up: The Champion. Lance himself.

This battle starts off pretty rough. Waterfall does a lot of damage to Dom, but Dom takes out Gyarados with a single thunderbolt. I swap in Drusilla to take a hit, and then use U-Turn to swap to Scarlet, who takes Dragonite out with an Ice Fang. Next was Aerodactyl. I swapped to Dom, and it used THunder Fang, which didn't do too much damage. It also got paralyzed, which allowed Dom to knock it out with Thunderbolt. Next up was a second Dragonite. I swapped to Sadako who used Destiny Bond to take it out. I'm sorry Sadako. She only had 12 HP left, and was either dead or I'd have to swap and probably lose. But Destiny bond takes out Dragonite #2. It allows me to send Scarlet in clean, who uses Surf. Then Lance uses Full Restore after Full Restore. But eventually it goes down. Last up: The final Dragonite. Scarlet uses Ice Fang. Lance heals. Ice Fang. Heal. Ice Fang. Heal. Eventually, it goes down to a single Ice Fang and I've beaten the champion. Drusilla was truly the MVP, but Sadako's contribution will never be forgotten. Especially with Will, but also with Destiny Bond.

Next Up: Kanto! But sadly without my ghosty girl.
