My team consisted of:
Lucius (Rapidash, Fire, Lv. 57)
Alexander (Machamp, Fighting, Lv. 57)
Maximus (Luxray, Electric, Lv. 57)
Annabelle (Torterra, Grass/Ground, Lv. 57)
Marcus (Staraptor, Normal/Flying, Lv. 57)
Maria (Gastrodon, Water/Ground, Lv. 57)
I went up to the Ace Trainer watching over the door, who checked my badges to make sure I was ready to take on the Elite Four. After he was satisfied that I had all 8 Sinnoh Region Badges, he let me pass.
- - - - -
The first of the Elite Four was Aaron, a master of Bug-Type Pokemon. Aaron welcomed me, and introduced himself before telling me why he enjoyed Bug-Type Pokemon so much. After formalities were over, we started our battle.
I sent out Lucius, and he sent out Dustox. Lucius used Flamethrower for massive damage, and knocked it out in one blow. Aaron sent out Vespiqueen next, and I kept Lucius in the fight. Lucius used Fire Blast for massive damage, and knocked it out instantly. Another Pokemon down, and also another for the Pokedex. The third Pokemon Aaron sent out was Heracross, and I switched over to Marcus to fight it. Marcus' Intimidate cut it's attack, then he struck it down with Brave Bird on the first move.
The fourth Pokemon sent out was Drapion, and I sent out Maria. Maria's Quick Claw let her strike first with Mud Bomb, and it did massive damage, then Drapion used a Sitrus Berry to heal itself a bit before countering with X-Scissor for good damage. Maria got hit by Ice Fang next for minor damage, then missed her Mud Bomb. Aaron switched out to Beautifly as Maria tried to use Mud Bomb, and of course it didn't affect the Bug/Flying-Type Pokemon. I switched over to Lucius again, who got hit by Psychic for good damage. Lucius used Flamethrower for massive damage, and knocked out Beautifly.
Finally Aaron had to send out Drapion again, and I sent out Maria once more. Maria's Quick Claw let her strike first with Mud Bomb, but she missed, then she got hit by X-Scissor again for good damage. Drapion used Ice Fang again for good damage, and Maria missed with Mud Bomb yet again. Drapion used Ice Fang again for good damage, then Maria used Recover to regain most of her health. Maria tried Mud Bomb again, and hit successfully for massive damage that Drapion barely survived, before countering with X-Scissor for good damage. Aaron used Full Restore to heal it again, and Maria used Mud Bomb again for massive damage and lowered accuracy. Drapion used X-Scissor again for good damage, then Maria finished it off with Mud Bomb.
Aaron accepted defeat, and told me he planned on training hard to get even tougher. I healed my team after the battle, and then I continued onward. I felt a bit frustrated that Maria's Mud Bomb accuracy was so low, and that her misses allowed the battle to last as long as it had, and hoped that I wouldn't need to use an Elixir or Ether for a while.
- - - - -
Next up was Bertha, a Ground-Type master. She asked that I show her how much I learned, and then the battle started.
I sent out Annabelle, and she sent out Quagsire. Quagsire used Protect to defend against Annabelle's Giga Drain for the first move, but the second try hit with no problems and knocked it out in one blow. Whiscash was sent out next, and Annabelle stayed in the fight. I had Annabelle hit it with Wood Hammer for massive damage, and knocked it out instantly. Next up was Sudowoodo and I sent out Alexander, who used Cross Chop for massive damage and another knock-out. Golem was sent out next, and I kept Alexander out to fight. Alexander used Cross Chop for massive damage, and also knocked it out in a single blow! Hippowdon was sent out last, and I sent out Maria to fight it. Maria used Waterfall against it, which brought it down to the red, and then it used Sitrius Berry to heal itself a bit before using Stone Edge against Maria. Maria used Waterfall again, and knocked it out to win the battle!
Bertha had a grin on her face even though I beat her, so very impressed with the skills I showed and the strength of my Pokemon. She liked how my team and I won the battle by working as one, and told me that's what made us so strong.
I healed my team up, and used an Ether to bring Maria's Mud Bomb back up. I kept going on, very pleased with how easily my Pokemon were able to take out the Elite Four so far. I knew that my hours of effort weren't in vain, at least against the Elite Four, but I still had to see what would happen against the champion.
- - - - -
The third member of the Elite Four was Flint, a Fire-Type master. I remembered him from Sunyshore, when he asked me to get Volkner's spirits back up. Volkner told him what I did, and apparently I succeeded in getting him excited about battling once more. Flint told me that he was looking forward to seeing me in battle for doing that, and then the battle began.
I sent out Maria, and he sent out Rapidash. Maria's Quick Claw let her attack first with Waterfall, and it did massive damage to leave Rapidash in the red, and then Rapidash used Sunny Day to increase it's effectiveness. Flint used a Full Restore to heal it again, then Maria used Waterfall once more for great damage. Rapidash used Solar Beam for massive damage, and Maria barely clung on, then she hit Rapidash with Surf for massive damage, leaving it barely conscious. I gave Maria a Full Restore, and then Rapidash used Solar Beam again for massive damage, leaving Maria barely in the fight (I expected him to use a Full Restore too). I gave Maria another Full Restore, and then Rapidash used Solar Beam once more for the knock out. Sunny Day gave out just before I switched to Alexander. Rapidash absorbed light, but then Alexander finished it off with Revenge.
Lopunny was sent out next, and I kept Alexander in the fight. Lopunny used Charm to lower Alexander's attack, then he hit it with Revenge for great damage. Lopunny used Fire Punch for minor damage, and then Alexander's Cross Chop missed. Lopunny used Sunny Day to unleash sunlight, then Cross Chop knocked it out.
Infernape was sent out next, and I switched over to Marcus to fight it, whose Intimidate cut Infernape's attack. Infernape used Flare Blitz for massive damage, then got hit by recoil, before Marcus flew high. Infernape's Mach Punch missed, then Marcus hit it with Fly for an instant knock-out.
I switched over to Annabelle when Steelix was sent out, and Annabelle hit it with Earthquake for great damage, then Steelix used Rock Tomb for minor damage. Annabelle used Earthquake again for great damage, and it barely clung on to use Rock Tomb again. The sunlight faded before Flint used Full Restore to heal it, and Annabelle used Giga Drain for good damage and some healing. Steelix missed with Screech, then Annabelle hit it with Earthquake again for massive damage that knocked it out.
Drifblim was sent out last, and I sent Maximus out against it. Maximus used Crunch against it for massive damage, then it responded with Double Team to increase it's evasiveness. Flint told me how he was heating up from this intense battle, and I was certainly feeling the strain myself. Maximus missed with Spark, and then Drifblim missed with Wil-O-Wisp. Maximus used Spark again, and hit Drifblim for great damage and knocked it out.
The battle was won, and Flint couldn't believe he lost. He said he didn't look down on me, but he didn't consider the possibility that he could lose. He just told me to keep on going, and I healed my team before continued on.
- - - - -
The fourth member of the Elite Four was Lucian, a Psychic-Type master. He told me I had arrived just as he finished reading a book, and then introduced himself. He said I had proven myself to be outstanding by getting that far. He said he was considered the toughest of the Elite Four, and knew he'd have to go all out against me to live up to that reputation.
Lucian sent out Mr. Mime, and I sent out Maximus. Mr. Mime used Psychic for great damage, then Maximus countered with Crunch for massive damage that knocked it out in one blow.
The next Pokemon sent out was Bronzong, and I sent out Lucius to fight it. Lucius used Fire Blast for massive damage, and then Bronzong used a Sitrus Berry to heal itself before using Calm Mind to increase it's special attack and defense. Lucius used Fire Blast again, and managed to knock it out.
Girafarig was sent out next, and I sent Maximus out again. Girafarig used Crunch against Maximus for great damage, a critical hit, but then he countered with Crunch for massive damage, and Girafarig barely clung on. I gave Maximus a Full Restore, and he used Full Restore as well on Girafarig. Girafarig used Psychic for great damage, then Maximus countered with Crunch for massive damage that brought it down to the red, clinging on again. Girafarig used Shadow Ball for good damage, then Maximus used Thunderbolt to knock it out.
Lucian's fourth Pokemon was Alakazam, and I decided to send out Annabelle to fight it. Alakazam's Focus Blast missed, then Annabelle hit it with Wood Hammer for massive damage, bringing it to the red. Lucian used a Full Restore to heal it, and then Annabelle used Giga Drain for good damage and healing. Alakazam used Recover to heal itself, and then Annabelle hit it with Earthquake for massive damage. Alakazam used Energy Ball next for great damage, then Annabelle hit it with Wood Hammer to knock it out.
The last Pokemon Lucian had was Medicham, and I sent out Marcus against it. Marcus' Intimidate cut it's attack, while Lucian was pondering what to do. Marcus hit it with Brave Bird for massive damage, and knocked it out in one blow to finish the battle!
Lucian admired my strength, and congratulated me on beating the Elite Four. He told me that I wasn't done with the Pokemon League though, because I would need to defeat the champion. He warned me that the Champion was far stronger than the Elite Four, and then told me to go through the doorway to my final battle.
- - - - -
I healed my team, and continued to the last challenge of the Sinnoh Pokemon League. I got to the end of a long hallway, and came across none other than Cynthia! The same woman who had been helping me on my travels was also the Champion of the Sinnoh League!
Cynthia asked how I had been, and thanked me for my actions at Mt. Coronet. She observed that I had overcome all obstacles, no matter how difficult, and told me that it means I've triumphed over any personal weakness too. She told me she could feel the power I learned emanating from me, then told me she accepted my challenge.
Cynthia sent out Spiritomb, and I sent out Maria against it. Maria used Waterfall for great damage, and made it flinch. Maria used Surf next for great damage, then it countered with Silver Wind for minor damage. Maria used Waterfall again with Quick Claw for great damage, then got hit by Psychic for good damage. Spiritomb barely clung on, so it was no surprise when Cynthia used a Full Restore on it, then Maria used Waterfall again for massive damage from a critical hit. Maria hit Spiritomb with Surf and it barely clung on, then it used Embargo to stop Maria from using items. Maria used Surf once more, and Spiritomb was knocked out.
I sent out Annabelle against the next Pokemon, Roserade, who used Shadow Ball for great damage, before Annabelle countered with Earthquake for massive damage. Roserade used Energy Ball for massive damage, and knocked out Annabelle, and I had to send out Lucius against it. Lucius used Megahorn for great damage and knocked it out, and then he grew to Level 58. Lucius also learned Flare Blitz in place of Fire Blast.
Next up was Gastrodon, and I sent out Marcus against it. Marcus used Brave Bird for massive damage, and got hurt by recoil, before Gastrodon countered with Muddy Water for massive damage. Marcus used Close Combat to knock out Gastrodon before it could attack again.
Cynthia sent out her fourth Pokemon, Milotic, and I sent out Maximus against it. Maximus used Spark for great damage, and it ended up paralyzed as well, before Milotic countered with Ice Beam for great damage. Maximus used Thunderbolt next for great damage, and Milotic used Mirror Coat for massive damage that knocked out Maximus. I switched to Alexander, then used Revive on Annabelle, while Cynthia used a Full Restore on Milotic. I used another Revive on Maximus, then Milotic used Surf for massive damage. I switched over to Annabelle again, and she was hit by Ice Beam to be knocked out again. I sent out Maximus once more, and he used Spark for massive damage, then Milotic used Surf for great damage that knocked Maximus out again. I sent out Alexander again, and Milotic used Aqua Ring before Alexander hit it with Cross Chop for massive damage and knocked it out.
Alexander grew to Level 58, and then I sent out Lucius against her Lucario. Lucario used Dragon Pulse for great damage, then Lucius countered with Flare Blitz for massive damage and the knock-out!
The final Pokemon in Cynthia's team was Garchomp, and I switched over to Maria. Cynthia told me she couldn't remember the last time she was put into a corner like that. Maria's Quick Claw let her strike first with Waterfall, and it did good damage, then Garchomp used Giga Impact for massive damage. I used a Max Revive on Annabelle, and then Garchomp had to recharge from it's attack. Garchomp used Giga Impact again, and knocked Maria out.
I sent out Annabelle against it, and Garchomp could do nothing but recharge while Annabelle hit it with Wood Hammer for great damage, then it used a Sitrus Berry to heal itself a bit. Garchomp used Giga Impact for massive damage, before Annabelle used Giga Drain to do good damage and heal up. Annabelle hit Garchomp with Wood Hammer again for great damage, and then Cynthia used Full Restore on it before Annabelle used Giga Drain again for good damage. I used my other Max Revive on Maria, and Garchomp used Dragon Rush on Annabelle for massive damage, knocking her out again. Maria was sent out next, and Garchomp used Dragon Rush for massive damage, before Maria countered with Surf for great damage. I used a Full Restore on Marcus, then Garchomp used Giga Impact for massive damage that knocked out Maria.
I sent out Marcus next, and his Intimidate cut Garchomp's attack. Garchomp could do nothing as Marcus hit it with Close Combat for massive damage, and it barely clung on. Garchomp tried to use Dragon Rush again, but missed, leaving itself open for Marcus to use Brave Bird and knock it out! Marcus grew to Level 58, and I cheered with joy and relief as I beat Cynthia!
Cynthia was stunned, saying how I had become not just the strongest challenger, but also the strongest Trainer! After the battle, she complimented me on an outstanding battle, recognizing that I had given my Pokemon the support they needed to maximize their power. She admired my passion and calculating coolness, and told me she believed that my Pokemon and I could overcome any challenge.
I went up a lift behind her, and through another door, then down a long hallway. Cynthia met me at the doorway, telling me that the room ahead was the Hall of Fame. Professor Rowan came up right after, telling me he enjoyed the battle against Cynthia. Cynthia was surprised to see him there, and he responded that it was only natural to witness my crowning glory after sending me out to fill the Pokedex.
Professor Rowan realized he shouldn't call me a child anymore, and that I've grown into a real Champion. Cynthia noticed how Rowan still enjoyed the enthusiasm that kids bring to his research, then told me to step into the Hall of Fame. We all headed inside, and Rowan realized the last time he had been in there was when Cynthia had become champion. They welcomed me into the Hall of Fame, and I placed my Pokeballs onto the machine to have my team registered as Champions.
It felt good seeing myself and my whole team up there on the screen, and I knew I had earned this victory. I was glad to have finally made it through all those Trainers, the Gym Leaders, all the challenges behind me to be here, as Champion of the Sinnoh Region. As I watched the credits roll, I wondered how many more battles would be ahead of me, in the Sinnoh Region and beyond.
