I came out of Victory Road, with a small path going north toward a pond and a large waterfall. I Surfed up the waterfall on Maria, and just past the top of the waterfall there stood the Pokemon League building, a cathedral-like structure where one would be more likely to pray than to battle the Elite Four.
After taking it in a while, I went inside. There were a couple people inside, and on the left side it had a Pokemon Center while the right side it had a Poke' Mart. I went over to the nurse and got my Pokemon healed up, and I talked to a nearby Ace Trainer who admired how calm and relaxed my Pokemon were even though we were about to go up against the Elite Four.
I decided to go and talk to the other Ace Trainer who was guarding the entrance to the Elite Four, but before I could talk to him Simon ran up behind me, warning me not to go off without him. I turned around, and he told me he was here to challenge the Elite Four just like I was. Simon wanted to find out which of us was more worthy of making the challenge with a battle, and so started our final battle.
My team consisted of:
Alexander (Machamp, Fighting, Lv. 48)
Maria (Gastrodon, Water/Ground, Lv. 48)
Annabelle (Torterra, Grass/Ground, Lv. 48)
Lucius (Rapidash, Fire, Lv. 48)
Maximus (Luxray, Electric, Lv. 48)
Marcus (Staraptor, Normal/Flying, Lv. 48)
I sent out Alexander, and he sent out Staraptor. I switched over to Maximus, who got hit by U-Turn for good damage, and then the move caused Staraptor to switch out with Snorlax instead. Maximus hit Snorlax with Crunch for good damage, then he got hit by Body Slam for massive damage. I switched out to Alexander, and he got hit by Earthquake for great damage. Alexander used Cross Chop for massive damage, and knocked out Snorlax instantly.
Next was Staraptor, and I switched over to Maximus. I used Full Restore on Maximus to heal from the great damage he took, and then Staraptor used U-Turn again, this time switching out with Heracross. I switched out to Lucius, who got hit by Aerial Ace for good damage. Heracross used Rock Slide for massive damage, but Lucius clung on and then flinched from the attack. I had to switch out to Marcus, who lowered it's attack with Intimidate before it used Night Slash for good damage. Marcus flew high, ready to strike it down, and Heracross missed with Close Combat before it got hit by Fly for an instant knock-out.
Next up was Floatzel, and I sent out Maximus again. Floatzel used Crunch for good damage, and then Maximus countered with Spark for massive damage, and Floatzel was knocked out in a single blow. I was glad that at least one of Simon's Pokemon went down so easily.
I kept Maximus in the fight against Staraptor as it was sent out, and Staraptor used Close Combat for great damage that knocked out Maximus. I decided to fight it with Marcus, whose Intimidate cut it's attack. Marcus hit it with Take Down for massive damage, and managed to knock out Simon's Staraptor with ease.
Next up was Infernape, and I sent out Maria against it. Infernape used Flamethrower against Maria for good damage, then she countered with Waterfall for massive damage. Infernape was in the yellow, and Simon switched out for Roserade. Maria hit it with Mud Bomb for good damage when it switched in, then I switched over to Alexander. Roserade used Shadow Ball for good damage, then Alexander countered with Cross Chop for great damage. Roserade used Giga Drain for great damage, then Alexander used Rock Smash for good damage. I switched over to Annabelle, who got hit by Grass Whistle and fell asleep.
I used Awakening to wake Annabelle up, then Roserade used Giga Drain for good damage. Roserade used Giga Drain again for good damage, and then Annabelle hit it with Wood Hammer for good damage. I switched over to Marcus, who cut it's attack, and then Roserade used Grass Whistle to put him to sleep. I used Awakening to wake Marcus up, and then Roserade used Poison Jab for good damage and also poisoned Marcus. Marcus missed with Take Down, and got hit by another Poison Jab that knocked him out. I was getting irritated at my whole team going down by this one Pokemon, and I switched over to Annabelle again. Roserade used Giga Drain again for good damage, then Annabelle countered with Earthquake for great damage and finally knocked it out.
Finally Infernape was sent out again, and I sent out Maria. Both our teams were nearly wiped out, but Simon had faith in his final Pokemon. I had faith in my team, and I knew Maria could do it. Infernape used Focus Blast for great damage, then Maria countered with Surf for great damage, which knocked out Infernape and won the battle!
After the battle, Simon decided he wasn't ready for the Pokemon League if he lost to me. He told me to watch though, that he'd get tougher and win his way through the Pokemon League. He promised me that he would become the champion, the toughest Trainer. Before he left, he told me I had better not lose to anyone before him, and I promised I wouldn't allow that.
As I healed my team again, I knew that I needed training too. If I had such a hard time against Simon's team, I knew that the Elite Four would wipe me out easily. I need to spend time training my Pokemon, strengthening them further. Only after getting even stronger will I stand a chance against the Elite Four.
