It was winter when I reached the Pokemon League for my second attempt at the Championship, after Team Plasma interrupted my previous attempt. With almost all of them out of the way, there would be nothing to stop my journey to the end of the league.
My team consisted of:
Zach (Liepard, Dark, Lv. 80)
Cole (Emboar, Fire/Fighting, Lv. 80)
Arthur (Simisage, Grass, Lv. 80)
Madelyn (Unfezant, Normal/Flying, Lv. 80)
Mason (Zebstrika, Electric, Lv. 80)
Nora (Seismitoad, Water/Ground, Lv. 80)
I stepped into the area, and then went through the left doorway and up the stairs to battle Shauntal once more. I sent Zach out against her Cofagrigus, and he used Hone Claws to increase his attack and accuracy, before he got hit by Will-O-Wisp to receive a burn. Zach attacked with Night Slash after that for massive damage, before it countered with Energy Ball for great damage, and more damage came from Zach's burn. Another Night Slash from Zach did massive damage, but Confagrigus clung on to use Energy Ball, and with the burn Zach clung on with only 2 HP.
I sent Arthur out, and Shauntal used a Full Restore on Cofagrigus, then Arthur attacked with Seed Bomb for great damage before it countered with Energy Ball for great damage. Arthur used Leech Seed before he got hit by Will-O-Wisp for a burn, but the Leech Seed recovery cancelled out damage from the burn. Arthur and the Cofagrigus traded blows again, then Arthur finally knocked it out with another Seed Bomb.
Frosslass was sent out next, and I sent Cole out against it. Frosslass used Psychic for great damage, and Cole's special defense was lowered, before he countered with Flamethrower to knock it out instantly! Jellicent was sent out after that, and I sent Mason out against it, and it was knocked out instantly by a Wild Charge.
I sent Nora out against Golurk, and she used Hydro Pump for massive damage that took Golurk out instantly just like the previous two. Drifblim was sent out after that, and Mason went out to fight once more, and a Wild Charge knocked it out. Chandelure was the last Pokemon Shauntal had, and I sent Nora out against it. Nora hit it with Hydro Pump for massive damage, and it went down hard.

I left Shauntal's lair, rather disappointed at Zach's efforts once more. I remembered how useless he seemed to be before, and still being so properly leveled he couldn't even two-shot the opponent Pokemon like the others could.
I healed up my team, then put Cole at the head of the team before I moved to the next doorway and to fight Grimsley. Grimsley sent out Sharpedo, and I sent out Cole against it, and Sharpedo attacked with Waterfall for massive damage, before Cole countered with Brick Break to knock it out instantly.
Krookodile was sent out next, and I kept Cole in the fight even as Intimidate cut his attack. I gave Cole a Hyper Potion to heal him up, and Krookodile used Outrage for great damage. Cole attacked with Brick Break for massive damage, and Krookodile clung on and attacked with Outrage again for great damage, and it was confused after. Grimsley used Full Restore to heal Krookodile before Cole attacked with Brick Break again, and Cole used Brick Break once more to knock it out.
Cole grew to Level 81, and I sent Madelyn out against Scrafty. Madelyn went high and avoided Scrafty's Head Smash, before she came down and struck with Fly for massive damage to knock it out. I sent out Nora next against Grimsley's Drapion, and her Earthquake did massive damage, before it countered with Crunch for good damage. Nora attacked again with Surf and knocked out Drapion.
Liepard was sent out next, and I sent Arthur out against it. Liepard failed with Sucker Punch, and Arthur used Work Up to increase attack and special attack, then he attacked with Seed Bomb for massive damage and the knock-out.
Grimsley's last Pokemon was Bisharp, and I sent Cole out against it. Cole attacked with Brick Break, and it was powerful enough to knock out Bisharp and win the battle!

I healed my team and saved my progress, then I switched Zach to the head of my team before I continued through the doorway to the next challenge.
I was up against Caitlin, and I sent Zach out against her Musharna. I had Zach use Hone Claws to increase his attack and accuracy before she switched out to Reuniclus. Zach attacked with Night Slash for massive damage and somehow managed to knock out Reuniclus.
Metagross was sent out next, and I sent Cole out against it. Cole used Flamethrower for massive damage, and it was knocked out instantly. I sent Zach out once more against Musharna, and Caitlin switched out to Sigilyph while Zach used Hone Claws once more. Zach attacked with Night Slash for massive damage, and it was knocked out instantly as well.
I was surprised at how powerful Zach was, and I kept him in the fight against Gothitelle, and he attacked with Night Slash once more to knock it out like the others. Bronzong was sent out next, and I sent Cole out against it. Cole used Flamethrower against it, and Bronzong went down hard.
Musharna was the last Pokemon, and I sent Zach out against it. Zach used Hone Claws once more, and Musharna used Hypnosis to put Zach to sleep. Zach stayed asleep, unable to do anything, while Musharna used Reflect to increase it's defense. Zach remained asleep, but immune to attack because of the type matching.
Eventually Zach woke up, and used Night Slash for massive damage, and Musharna could do nothing to stop Zach attacking once more with Night Slash to knock it out and win the battle!

I healed my team, put Madelyn in the lead, and then made my way through the last doorway to battle Marshal, the last of the Elite Four.
I sent Madelyn out against Marshal's Breloom, and it hit Madelyn with Sky Uppercut for great damage, before she took it out with Fly. Sawk was sent out next, and Madelyn hit it with Fly for massive damage, but it clung on with it's Sturdy ability to knock Madelyn out with Stone Edge.
I sent Arthur out against it, and Marshal used a Full Restore to heal it before Arthur struck with Seed Bomb for massive damage. I gave Madelyn a Max Revive, and Sawk used Poison Jab for massive damage against Arthur. Arthur used Seed Bomb once more, and Sawk was knocked out.
I sent Madelyn out once more against Mienshao when it was sent out, and it used Fake Out for minor damage and to cause Madelyn to flinch. Madelyn went high and avoided Hi Jump Kick before Madelyn struck it down with Fly.
I kept Madelyn in the fight against Conkeldurr, and I kept Madelyn on the offensive with Fly again, avoiding Stone Edge before doing massive damage. Conkeldurr countered with Stone Edge for massive damage, but Madelyn clung on and knocked it out with Aerial Ace.
Throh was sent out next, and I sent Mason out against it. Mason used Thunderbolt for great damage, and it caused Throh paralysis that stopped him from attacking. Mason used Wild Charge next for massive damage, and it clung on but was stopped from attacking by paralysis again. Mason knocked Throh out with Stomp, and Marshal was down to his last Pokemon.
Marshal sent out Toxicroak, and I sent Nora out against it. Nora used Earthquake for massive damage, and Toxicroak was knocked out and the battle was over.

Finally I was through the Elite Four, and all I had left was the Champion, Alder. I healed my team, saved my progress once more, and then I stepped into the light surrounding the central statue to go face-to-face against Alder.
I went up the many stairs and into the temple to face Alder. He thanked me for what I did about N, and Alder told me that while he doesn't know what N's thinking, he's sure that N realizes now that different people and Pokemon have their own paths to follow.
It was at this point that I started my battle against Alder. I sent Madelyn out against Accelgor, and it used Focus Blast for massive damage, before Madelyn countered with Aerial Ace to knock it out.
Alder sent out Vanilluxe next, and I sent Cole out against it. Cole attacked with Flamethrower for massive damage, and Vanilluxe was knocked out instantly. Bouffalant was sent out next, and I kept Cole in the fight. Cole hit Bouffalant with Brick Break for massive damage, but it clung on in the red to counter with Earthquake for massive damage. Alder used Full Restore to heal Bouffalant, then Cole hit it with Brick Break for massive damage, and once more to knock it out.
Cole grew to Level 82, and I kept Cole in the fight against Escavalier. Cole was able to strike first with Flamethrower, and Escavalier was put down instantly from the powerful attack. Volcarona was sent out next, and I sent Madelyn out against it. Madelyn went high, and avoided Overheat, then she struck with Fly for massive damage that knocked out Volcarona.
Madelyn grew to Level 81, and Alder was down to his last Pokemon. I decided to send Nora out against Alder's last Pokemon, Druddigon, and she missed with Hydro Pump before she took great damage from Superpower. Nora attacked again, and Hydro Pump hit for massive damage, before Druddigon countered with Outrage to knock Nora out.
I sent Mason out next, and he attacked with Thunderbolt for good damage, before Druddigon countered with Outrage for massive damage, and then it became confused. Mason attacked with Thunderbolt again, and it knocked Druddigon out to win the battle, and the Championship!

Alder congratulated me on my victory, and led me to a warp tile to reach the Hall of Fame. I placed my Pokeballs on the Hall of Fame computer to register my team and claim Championship over the Unova League!
I'm nearly done with my journey through Unova, and I can't wait to continue through to the next League! I just hope to be done soon here in Unova so I can continue on that much sooner.
