Pokemon SoulSilver - The Elite Four Part 2

After a couple weeks of relaxation, and then a couple weeks of training against both Trainers and wild Pokemon, my team was ready to fight the Elite Four once more and claim championship of the Indigo League.

My team consisted of:

Edward (Electivire, Electric, Lv. 68)
Claire (Gengar, Ghost/Poison, Lv. 68)
Rayquaza (Dragon/Flying, Lv. 72)
Blake (Feraligatr, Water, Lv. 68)
Seth (Victreebel, Grass/Poison, Lv. 68)
Samuel (Infernape, Fire/Fighting, Lv. 68)

I went through the door and faced off against Will, the Psychic-Type Elite Trainer. I was ready to beat him and all others in my path, and claim my rightful place as Champion of the Indigo League!

I sent out Edward, and Will sent out Bronzong. I switched out for Blake, and Bronzong used Gravity, which stopped airborne attacks. Blake used Crunch against Brongzong for great damage, then it used Reflect to increase it's defense. I pondered a moment, knowing that Blake's Crunch attack could do good damage, but that a Fire-Type attack from Samuel would do massive damage but leave him open to the power of Psychic-Type attacks.

I decided I couldn't take the chance of Samuel being brought down too early, and so I had Blake continue with Crunch for massive damage, a critical hit that knocked it out. Gardevoir was sent out, and I kept Blake in the fight. Blake used Crunch for great damage, then Gardevoir countered with Psychic for great damage. Blake used Crunch again for great damage, but Gardevoir clung on and countered with Psychic for great damage. Will used a Full Restore to heal Gardevoir, then Blake used Crunch yet again for great damage.

Blake was badly hurt, so I used a Hyper Potion on him, then Gardevoir missed with Focus Blast. Blake used Crunch again, and Gardevoir was knocked out. I sent out Samuel when Jynx was sent out by Will, and he used Flame Wheel for massive damage that took Jynx out instantly.

I switched back to Blake when Grumpig was sent out, and he used Crunch for massive damage that left Grumpig barely clinging on to counter with Confuse Ray. Blake was confused, but managed to use Surf to knock out Grumpig. Slowbro was sent out next, and I sent out Edward against it. Edward used Thunder Punch for massive damage, and then Slowbrow used Amnesia to raise it's special defense. Edward used Thunder Punch again to knock it out.

Will sent out Xatu next, and I kept Edward in the fight. Edward used Thunder Punch again, and Xatu was knocked out instantly with a critical hit! The battle was over, and Will was defeated!

The next of the Elite Four was Koga, the Poison-Type Elite Trainer. He sent out Skuntank and I sent out Samuel. Samuel used Flame Wheel for great damage, then Skuntank used Toxic to poison Samuel. Samuel took a little damage from poison, then he used Close Combat to knock Skuntank out with a critical hit before taking more damage from it's Aftermath ability and the poison.

Crobat was sent out next, and I sent out Edward against it. Crobat used Cross Poison for great damage, then Edward countered with Thunder Punch for massive damage that Crobat barely survived. Koga used a Full Restore to heal Crobat, then Edward used Thunderbolt for massive damage that knocked it out!

I sent out Claire against Toxicroak, and Claire used Hypnosis to put Toxicroak to sleep, then she used Dream Eater for massive damage to knock it out instantly. Venomoth was sent out, and Samuel went out against it. Samuel used Flame Wheel for massive damage, and Venomoth was knocked out too.

I sent Claire out against Swalot, and she used Hypnosis to put it to sleep, then she used Dream Eater for massive damage. Swalot restored some HP with Leftovers, then Claire used Dream Eater again to knock it out. I kept Claire in the fight as Muk was sent out, and both Claire and Muk missed with their attacks. Claire hit Muk with Hypnosis, and then hit it with Dream Eater for massive damage. Another Dream Eater knocked it out, and the battle was won!

The next one up was Bruno, the Fighting-Type Elite Trainer. I sent out Claire against his Hitmontop. Claire used Shadow Ball for massive damage, and knocked it out instantly. Hariyama was sent out next, and I kept Claire in the fight. Claire used Shadow Ball again for massive damage, and when Hariyama countered with Payback for massive damage Claire barely clung on. I sent out Seth, and he got hit by Bullet Punch for minor damage. Seth used Sludge Bomb for massive damage, and Hariyama clung on and healed with Sitrus Berry before doing great damage with Payback. Finally Seth knocked out Hariyama with Leaf Blade.

I sent Claire out again against Hitmonlee, and I used a Hyper Potion to heal Claire before Hitmonlee used Blaze Kick for great damage, before Claire healed a bit with Black Sludge. Claire used Shadow Ball for massive damage, and then Hitmonlee used Swagger to confused Claire and raise her attack. Claire hurt herself in her confusion, and then Hitmonlee used Blaze Kick for great damage. Claire again hurt herself in her confusion, and then Hitmonlee took her out with another Blaze Kick. As punishment, I sent out Rayquaza against it. Rayquaza used Dragon claw to knock Hitmonlee out in a single blow.

I sent Edward out against Machamp, and he used Thunderbolt for great damage, before being hit by Dynamic Punch for massive damage that left him confused. Edward hurt himself in his confusion before Machamp knocked him out with Stone Edge. I sent out Seth, and he used Sludge Bomb for great damage before Machamp countered with Stone Edge for great damage. Bruno used a Full Restore to heal Machamp, then Seth used Sludge Bomb again for great damage. I used a Revive on Claire before Seth was knocked out.

I switched over to Claire, and she hit Machamp with Shadow Ball for massive damage, then it countered with Stone Edge for great damage. Machamp knocked Claire out with Bullet Punch, and I was forced to switch to Samuel. Samuel used Fire Spin to do minor damage and trap Machamp, then it countered with Dynamic Punch for massive damage and confusion, before it was knocked out by Fire Spin.

Hitmonchan was sent out next, and I sent out Rayquaza against it. Rayquaza hit it with Dragon Claw, and it went down hard. Lucario was sent out last, and I kept Rayquaza in the fight. Rayquaza used Dragon Dance to increase it's attack and speed, and Lucario failed with Counter. Rayquaza did massive damage with Dragon Claw, and Lucario missed it's attack. Rayquaza went high, and then avoided an attack before knocking out Lucario with Fly!

The battle was won, and three of my Pokemon were knocked out by his strong team. I used a few Revives and Moomoo Milks to heal my team, then I continued on. I was starting to get worried about the last Elite Four member, if Koga's Pokemon were ready for Claire like they were. However, if I was going to claim Championship then I would have to fight on.

The last of the Elite Four was Karen, the Dark-Type Elite Trainer. I sent out Samuel against her Weavile, and he used Close Combat to knock it out instantly, and he grew to Level 69! Honchkrow was sent out next, and I had Edward fight it. Edward used Thunder Punch for massive damage, and Honchkrow was knocked out in that single blow.

Spiritomb was sent out next, and I sent Samuel out against it. Spiritomb was unaffected by Close Combat, and then it used Confuse Ray to leave Samuel confused. I sent out Claire, and Spiritomb used Curse to lay a curse on Claire after taking half it's health. Claire used Shadow Ball and the attacke combined with it's halved health knocked out Spiritomb.

Absol was sent out next, and I sent Samuel out against it. Absol used Detect to protect itself from Rock Smash, but Samuel was able to get another attack off for massive damage, before Absol countered with Psycho Cut for massive damage, a critical hit that knocked Samuel out. Karen used a Full Restore to heal Absol, then Seth, whom I sent out, used Sludge Bomb for massive damage and left Absol with poison. Seth used Cut to finish it off.

Houndoom was sent out next, and Blake went to fight it. Houndoom used Nasty Plot to increase it's special attack before Blake hit it with Waterfall for an instant knock-out. Umbreon was the last to be sent out, and I kept Blake in the fight. Blake used Ice Fang for good damage, and then Umbreon was frozen solid but thawed out instantly to use curse to increase it's attack and defense. Blake used Waterfall for good damage, then Umbreon countered with Payback for great damage. I sent out Rayquaza, and Umbreon kept on using Curse to build it's stats up further and further while Rayquaza attacked it with Dragon Claw and Overheat, but it healed up with Sitrus Berry.

Karen used a Full Restore on Umbreon, and then Rayquaza used Dragon Claw for good damage. I switched out to Seth, and Umbreon used Confuse Ray to confuse Seth. Seth hurt himself in his confusion, then Umbreon used Payback for massive damage that knocked out Seth. I sent Edward out next, and he used Thunder Punch for good damage. Umbreon used Confuse Ray again to confuse Edward, then he hurt himself in his confusion while Umbreon used Curse again. Edward used Thunder Punch again for massive damage, a critical hit that knocked out Umbreon and won the battle!

After all that, I still had Lance to contend with. The former Champion wished for a rematch, and I was happy to give it to him. With his defeat, I would be crowned Champion of the Indigo League!

Lance sent out Salamence, and I sent out Rayquaza, whose attack was cut in half by intimidate. Salamence used Dragon Claw for massive damage, and Rayquaza used Dragon Dance to increase it's attack and speed. Rayquaza hit Salamence with Dragon Claw for massive damage, and it was knocked out in a single blow. Rayquaza grew to Level 73 upon defeating Salamence, but I had five more Pokemon to fight!

Altaria was sent out next, and Rayquaza used Dragon Claw for massive damage that knocked it out instantly. Dragonite was sent out next, and Rayquaza used Dragon Claw for massive damage, but Dragonite clung on and used Sitrus Berry to heal up before it knocked out Rayquaza with Draco Meteor. I sent Blake out against it, and Dragonite hit Blake with Hyper Beam for great damage, before it was knocked out by Ice Fang.

Gyarados was sent out, and I had Edward fight against it. Edward used Thunderbolt for massive damage, a critical hit that knocked it out instantly. Edward grew to Level 69, and Garchomp was sent out next. Garchop was unaffected by Edward's Thunderbolt, and he was knocked out by Earthquake. I sent out Blake, and Garchomp used Outrage for massive damage that knocked Blake out instantly.

I sent Claire out next against Garchomp, and she used Shadow Ball for great damage, before Garchomp used Outrage to knock her out too. Garchomp was confused due to fatigue, and I sent out Seth next. Garchomp was confused, but it was able to use Outrage again for massive damage, but Seth clung on and struck with Leaf Blade for great damage. I used a Max Revive on Rayquaza, and it recovered fully before Seth was knocked out.

Rayquaza was sent out, and it used Dragon Claw to strike down Garchomp. Charizard was the last, and it used Dragon Claw for great damage, before Rayquaza used Dragon Dance. Rayquaza's attack and speed rose, then he used Dragon Claw for massive damage that knocked out Charizard, and so the battle was won, my Championship achieved!

After so many difficult battles, I decided that it was time to move on from SoulSilver, and head onward to Pokemon Black. I had heard that Red could be found at the top of Mt. Silver, that I could be given the chance to fight Groudon upon his defeat, but it had taken me so long to train my team to fight the Elite Four that I would probably give up on my journey just to get them ready to fight Red.

I look forward to the experiences and challenge of a new region. Here I come, Unova!

Current Team:

Rayquaza (Dragon/Flying, Lv. 73)
Claire (Gengar, Ghost/Poison, Lv. 68)
Samuel (Infernape, Fire/Fighting, Lv. 69)
Blake (Feraligatr, Water, Lv. 68)
Seth (Victreebel, Grass/Poison, Lv. 68)
