For the gym mission, I bring Nagini, Cake, Trix and Elly.

None of the gym trainers pose a problem. Then I'm ready to face Piers. Who, like me, doesn't Dynamax. So that makes this a little easier.

Scrafty and Malamar go down to Cake without any trouble. Poor Piers, going down to a dessert. Trix takes care of Obstagoon with two double kicks. Last up: Skuntank. Who uses Toxic on Elly as she comes out. But it doesn't affect Elly, who uses Dig, avoids the sucker punch, then takes a hit from a pretty strong sucker punch, but digs again to finish the battle.

On Route 9, I catch a Clobbopus and name her Marina.

After leveling my team up a bit (including some older pokemon I neglected) and evolving Marina into Grapploct I'm ready for the gym challenge. None of the trainers pose much difficulty. Then Raihan is ready to face me. I bring: Trix, Cake, Marina and Tank with me.

Cake does massive damage to both Flygon and Gigalith. Tank does some damage to Flygon. Then on the next turn, Cake takes out Flygon and hurts Gigalith again. Cake takes a bit of damage, but so does Gigalith thanks to Tank. I swap Marina into battle, and she works on Gigalith while Tank works on Sandaconda. Both manage to go down in the same turn, but Tank is low on health. So on the next turn, Marina uses Superpower on Dynamaxed Duraludon, while I use my one heal on Tank. Tank tanks the first hit, as Marina hits hard. Marina hits a second time, but Tank goes down. I send out Trix, who finishes off with a Pyro Ball to end Dynamaxed Duraludon. It was a very difficult battle, and Marina not going down was pivitol. But thanks to Tank taking the hits, we live to survive another day and enter the champion cup.

At the station, Hop thinks he's the favorite to win. What, are they assuming because I don't dynamax that I'm going to lose?

When I arrive in Wyndon, I heal my pokemon and register for the tournament. For my first battle, I bring Cake, Trix, Cherry, Marina and Elly. I decided that I'll allow any pokemon up to the final battle (55) to take part. And any pokemon eligible at the start, will be eligible at the end.

My first battle is with Marnie... Cake deals with Liepard. Elly comes in to a sucker punch that does nothing, then digs. Morepko doesn't do much when I bring Cake back out. Even with Gigantamax, her Grimmsnarl is no match for Cake. Marnie loses.

Hop wins his battle quickly, and we're ready for the finals already! Me vs Hop. This time he has Dynamax on his side. Dubwool goes down easily, and Snorlax doesn't last long against Marina either. Trix wipes out Corviknight with one hit. Then Elly deals with Pincurchin, which lasts a bit longer than I thought it would. When Hop Dynamaxes his Rillaboom, I send out Cherry to tank the hits. I heal Cherry on the third turn to keep her alive. Trix then finishes it off with Pyro Ball. Just imagine if I used Dynamax, Hop!

And with that, I decide to quit for now.
