Episode #99: The Ultimate Battle of The Sinnoh League!




The championship battle continued as Rain was faced with the toughest challenge of his life, battling the famous Cynthia. It was Spiritomb against a weakened Torterra, and the battle between these two was just about to begin. Spiritomb laughed at Torterra, who still struggled to stand up. Rain was left with few options, and was disappointed that his strongest had to go down this early.

"Good luck trying to get Torterra to win!" Cynthia said.

"Begin!" the official said.

"Torterra, use Leaf Storm!" Rain ordered.

Torterra fired a Leaf Storm attack, but Spiritomb sucked himself into the keystone and avoided the attack. Spiritomb jumped forward, leaving Torterra to move back a lot.

"Spiritomb, use Dark Pulse!"

Spiritomb fired a Dark Pulse that struck Torterra as he was pushed back.

"Torterra, Wood Hammer!" Rain ordered.

Torterra slammed Spiritomb's keystone hard, making it shake in pain.

"Shadow Sneak!" Cynthia ordered.

Spiritomb's Shadow Sneak covered most of Torterra's face and sucked what little energy he had left. Torterra slowly fell to the ground, unable to battle, while Spiritomb jumped back, free from Torterra's leg.

"Torterra is unable to battle!" the official said, "Spiritomb is the winner!"

Rain recalled Torterra back to his Poké Ball and thought of what to do now. He took out another Poké Ball and decided on who to use in this situation.

Go, Drifblim!" Rain said.

Rain sent his Drifblim out to deal with the Ghost Type, Spiritomb. Rain figured that if he battled a Ghost Type with a Ghost Type of his own, he might stand a chance.

"Rain picked a smart choice, huh?" Jessica asked.

"More like a foolish choice," Manny said. "Don't forget, Spiritomb is a Ghost Type and a Dark Type. That gives it no weaknesses whatsoever! Not to mention that it takes less damage from Ghost attacks than Drifblim, which in reality would give Drifblim a disadvantage despite the matchup."

Cynthia knew of Rain's error and decided to take full advantage of it.

"Begin!" the official said.

"Spiritomb, use Shadow Ball!" Cynthia ordered.

"Dodge it!" Rain ordered.

Spiritomg launched a Shadow Ball towards Drifblim, which it successfully dodged.

"Now, use Ominous Wind!" Rain ordered.

Drifblim spun around, but it wasn't as affected as it should be. Cynthia simply smiled, knowing what it had to do now.

"Spiritomb, charge forward!"

Spiritomb jumped forward and went after Spiritomb despite the wind pushing against it. Spiritomb, however, fell down. Cynthia was surprised that this happened, but she seemed to realize that Torterra's Wood Hammer must have done this. She had no idea that the attack did so much to it.

"Shadow Ball!" Rain ordered.

Drifblim fired a Shadow Ball that struck Spiritomb, damaging it hard.

"Now, use Payback!" Rain ordered.

Drifblim powered its flappy hand up and struck Spiritomb hard, knocking it away, forcing it to seep inside its keystone, unable to battle.

"Spiritomb is unable to battle!" the official said. "Drifblim is the winner!"

"This is turning out to be quite the show! With three of Cynthia's Pokémon out, we'll take a quick break before we resume!"

Rain sighed as he went over to his friends, while Cynthia walked over to where the rest of the Elite Four were sitting.

"Tough match, huh?" Flint said, jokingly.

"I had no idea that he was such a strong kid," Cynthia said. "I knew he was related to Kaze Eidoh, but....I'm just impressed."

"Don't worry about it," Aaron said. "You'll beat him."

Cynthia sighed, annoyed by Aaron's comment.

"Cynthia wasn't able to defeat Kaze," Bertha said. "Kaze was strong, him and his Staraptor!"

"Kaze was more than just strong," Cynthia thought, looking over at Rain, "but I wonder if Rain shares his blood for battle as well."

Cynthia went back onto the field as she awaited the start of the second half, but she was curious as to how Rain would fair against her other Pokémon, especially her Garchomp. Minutes passed and the second half was ready to begin. Both of them made it onto the battlefield as they began the second half. The field was chosen to be a grass stage, which would be the final change in this competition.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the second and final half of the Sinnoh League Championship Round! Rain is in the lead with four Pokémon, while Cynthia has only three. Knowing the Champion, she has a bit of a trick up her sleeve!"

"Begin!" the official said.

"Go, Lucario!" Cynthia said.

Lucario was sent out, as it rested on one knee, bringing itself up to both feet and getting into a fighting stance. Rain gulped nervously yet again and took out Drifblim's Poké Ball to deal with Lucario.

"Go, Drifblim!" Rain said.

Drifblim came out once more. This time, Rain had a clear advantage, but Cynthia smiled, knowing that he was not fully safe yet.

"Begin!" the official said.

"Lucario, use Metal Claw!" Cynthia ordered.

"Ominous Wind!" Rain ordered.

Drifblim spun around with a mysterious wind pushing against Lucario, but that wasn't enough to stop him. He charged forward and struck Drifblim with a Metal Claw.

"Now, use Dark Pulse!" Cynthia ordered.

Lucario fired a Dark Pulse that exploded on Drifblim and knocked it out instantly, to Rain's surprise.

"Drifblim is unable to battle!" the official said. "Lucario is the winner!"

Lucario punched twice and got into another fighting stance. Rain recalled his Drifblim, knowing that this wasn't going to be easy. He took out another Poké Ball and prepared for another go.

"Go, Luxray!" Rain said.

Luxray came out to deal with Lucario as it roared proudly. Lucario grunted, knowing that this was going to be an easy battle.

"Begin!" the official said.

"Lucaro, Aura Sphere!" Cynthia ordered.

"Dodge it!" Rain ordered.

Lucario fired an Aura Sphere that Luxray successfully dodged. Luxray began to charge over to Lucario, who prepared to counter.

"Luxray, use Thunder Fang!" Rain ordered.

Luxray leapt up and bit down onto Lucario's hand, shocking him hard, but Lucario wasn't even affected by the attack.

"Lucario, use Force Palm!" Cynthia ordered.

Lucario placed his palm near Luxray's face and pushed him way, sending him flying back, but scratching Lucario as well. Lucario held his paw in pain.

"Aura Sphere!" Cynthia ordered.

Lucario fired an Aura Sphere that struck Luxray hard. Luxray struggled to get up, but Lucario was already in front of him.

"Discharge!" Rain ordered.

Luxray let loose a Discharge attack that seemed to be affecting Lucario, but not much.

"Lucario, use Bone Rush!" Cynthia ordered.

Lucario jumped back and struck Luxray with a bone numerous times until he was sent back by the final blow. Rain saw the bone itself as an aura covered bone that Lucario wielded like a long staff. Lucario forced it to dissipate as he prepared for another attack.

'It's going to take more than that to beat us!" Cynthia said. "Close Combat!"

Lucario charged forward as it prepared to strike Luxray, but Rain wasn't going to let it happen.

"Luxray, jump over him!" Rain ordered.

Luxray jumped over Lucario, surprising him and managing to avoid the attack.

"Now, use Iron Tail!" Rain ordered.

Luxray swiped his glowing tail to strike Lucario hard, knocking him aside.

"Oh no you don't!" Cynthia said. "Aura Sphere!"

"Discharge!" Rain ordered.

Both Pokémon fired their respective attacks and struck each other hard. Both of them were heavily affected by the attacks and were sent back due to the force of their attacks. Both of them lay on the ground, struggling to get up, but they both fell to the ground, unable to battle.

"Lucario and Luxray are both unable to battle!" the official said.

Both of them recalled their fallen Pokémon, leaving Cynthia to send out her next Pokémon.

"Go, Milotic!" Cynthia said.

Cynthia sent her Milotic out, leaving everyone to be surely aware of what her last Pokémon was.

"She hasn't used Garchomp yet," Donovan said.

"I just hope Rain has the right choice and uses Weavile against Garchomp. After all, it's important to have type advantage."

Rain took out another Poké Ball and got a confident smile on his face. Manny feared that he was actually going to use Weavile on Milotic.

"RAIN, DON'T USE HIM!!!!" Manny shouted.

"Go, Drapion!" Rain said.

Rain sent his Drapion out, while Manny was relieved that he made a smart choice and planned to save Weavile for later.

"Glad he has some brains in him," Manny said.

"Even if he were to use Weavile," Donovan began, "it may not make a difference. Remember, Garchomp is her strongest Pokémon. I doubt Rain will have the strength to topple it."

Rain knew who he was up against in the final round, and he was ready to go through with it all the way.

"Begin!" the official said.

"Milotic, use Hydro Pump!" Cynthia ordered.

Milotic fired a Hydro Pump which Drapion managed to hold on to in defense. He was still being pushed back, despite the powerful force of the Hydro Pump attack.

"Cross Poison!" Rain ordered.

Drapion crossed his arms, broke out of the Hydro Pump and went after Milotic and hit her hard. She fell to the ground and slowly got up.

"Poison Fang!" Rain ordered.

"Aqua Tail!" Cynthia ordered.

Drapion jump towards Milotic, but she brought her tail towards Drapion and shot a stream of water at Drapion, knocking him back as he landed on the ground. He slowly got up and readied himself once more.

"Pin Missile!" Drapion ordered.

Drapion fired numerous Pin Missiles at Milotic as she tried to brace every one of them.

"Twister!" Cynthia ordered.

Milotic used her tail to unleash a powerful twister that shot Drapion across and forced him to skid on the ground. Drapion slowly got up, while Rain wondered if there was a way to defeat Milotic for good.

"Hydro Pump!" Cynthia ordered.

"Dodge it!" Rain ordered.

Drapion successfully dodged and went after Milotic, maintaining a circle while avoiding the Hydro Pump.

"Use Night Slash!" Rain ordered.

Drapion used Night Slash to deal with Milotic, striking her hard.

"Now, Cross Poison!" Rain ordered.

Drapion unleashed a Cross Poison, striking Milotic hard and sending her to the ground. Milotic wasn't moving, and Rain thought that he knocked her out at last.

"Milotic," Cynthia said. "Do it, now!"

Milotic got up and unleashed a powerful blue and white beam that slammed into Drapion hard and sent him flying back. Drapion fell on the ground, unable to battle.

"Drapion is unable to battle!" the official said. "Milotic is the winner!"

"Looks like Weavile's my last hope!" he thought.

Suddenly, Milotic felt a tremendous amount of pain and fell to the ground. She, too, was unable to battle. Cynthia saw it, and knew that she had been poisoned by the Cross Poison attack!

"Milotic is also unable to battle!" the official added to his call.

Both of them knew what was coming next, as did most of the crowd. Cynthia smiled, knowing that she would have an exciting battle with Rain.

"You're just like your brother," Cynthia said. Rain was surprised that she knew of him. "He's the only one who's ever beaten me. In fact, I was locked in a position, just like this. His Staraptor took out my Garchomp with ease. I only hope you share his blood."

"Kaze," Rain thought. "</i>I wonder if she knows about his condition?</i>"

"But now, I expect that you have enough strength in your final Pokémon to deal with my strongest! Go, Garchomp!"

Cynthia sent Garchomp out as it roared violently. Rain knew that he was in for a tough battle, but he felt that Weavile's Ice attacks should hold it off for now.

"It's now or never!" Rain thought. "Go, Weavile!"

Rain sent out his Weavile, who prepared for the last battle in the Sinnoh League. Rain gulped once more, ready to battle against Garchomp.

"Begin!" the official said for the final time.

"Garchomp, use Dragon Claw!" Cynthia ordered.

"Weavile, use Ice Shard!" Rain ordered.

Weavile prepared an Ice Shard attack, but with Garchomp's speed, his foe managed to strike him before he can get a shard out. Weavile fell to the ground with Garchomp pinning him to the ground.

"Don't honestly think you can match Garchomp's speed," Cynthia said. "Dragon Pulse!"

Garchomp launched a powerful Dragon Pulse attack that struck Weavile hard. Weavile was in a hard position and couldn't move or react to his opponent's attack.

"Weavile," Rain thought. "I know that you were my final capture, but you have to pull through!"

Weavile was still being hit by Garchomp's powerful Dragon Pulse. Weavile cringed in pain as he somehow managed to force a powerful pulse wave to hit the ground, knocking Garchomp back as he stopped the attack. Weavile slowly got up and prepared to take Garchomp out.

"It happened again!" Rain said. "My Pokémon attacked without my orders...because I froze in fear...Why does that happen to me?"

Rain looked at Garchomp, knowing that he had to take control of Weavile.

"Weavile...are you ready?" Rain asked.

"Weavile!" he replied.

Rain smiled, knowing that he would be able to win this match if he believed in himself.

"Weavile, use Night Slash!" Rain ordered.

Weavile unleashed a Night Slash that struck Garchomp hard and sent him back a bit.

"Garchomp, use Sand Tomb!" Cynthia ordered.

Garchomp used a Sand Tomb attack that dragged Weavile into the ground, trapping him so he couldn't escape.

"Garchomp, use Dragon Claw!" Cynthia ordered.

"Ice Beam, quickly!" Rain ordered.

Weavile launched an Ice Beam just as Garchomp got in close, freezing him entirely and sending him on the back part of the giant cube he was in. Garchomp broke free, while Weavile managed to break out of the Sand Tomb. Weavile was seriously weak, while Garchomp was a bit tired, but not as much as its opponent was.

"Weavile, you have to stay strong!" Rain said.

Weavile didn't want to lose to a Garchomp like this, and he really didn't want to lose with his trainer, but he could barely move.

"Garchomp, use Dragon Rush!" Cynthia said.

Garchomp engulfed itself in a blue and white aura as it charged towards Weavile, who was nearly out of it.

"WEAVILE!!!!"

Weavile took the attack, but something blue exploded from Weavile's mouth. It was another Ice Beam attack, and somehow, it managed to freeze both himself and his opponent together! Weavile managed to break free, but Garchomp wasn't moving. Cynthia feared that this might be it for Garchomp. The official thought it was done for.

"Garchomp is una---"

Garchomp broke free and prepared to eliminate its opponent once and for all. Garchomp, though, was really weak, since he used a powerful attack like Dragon Rush. Weavile was growing weak as well.

"Rain," Cynthia said. "This attack will be our last. Make it count."

Rain nodded as he prepared to put an end to this battle.

"Garchomp, use Dragon Claw!" Cynthia ordered.

"Weavile, use Metal Claw!" Rain ordered.

Both Pokémon charged after each other and struck each other hard and sent each other back. Both of them landed on their backs and struggled to get up. Weavile smiled at Garchomp, while Garchomp smiled back. Both Pokémon fell on their backs, unable to battle. Neither Rain nor Cynthia could make out what happened. Even the official was stunned.

"G-Garchomp and Weavile are both unable to battle!" the official said. "This match is a draw!"

"This is truly unbelievable!" the official said. "Rain has actually managed to tie with Cynthia! This is one for the record books, folks! The first trainer to tie with a Champion in the Sinnoh League!"

Rain wondered if he would get Cynthia's information now, since he had to win in order to get info on Shaymin.

"Rain," Cynthia said, going over to her Garchomp. "If you want, I can still give you the information."

Rain's eyes lit up in joy, knowing that his mission was finally completed successfully. Rain was proud that all of his Pokémon managed to succeed in winning against Cynthia, even though he didn't actually win.

Hours later, Rain was awarded the coveted League Trophy for his victory over Ketsui and Cynthia. Rain held it up high as he was proud of himself. He came a long way since his first adventure, and now he was considered the strongest in Sinnoh according to the Pokémon League! What he would do now, even he didn't know!
