Christ... Took me long enough to get this running; matter of fact, I had to refresh myself on the main site, but now I'm confident this time.
- We get thrown head-first into this blood feud, but what got them all riled up? Let's rewind this, shall we?
- Earlier today, Ash is checking out his Gliscor that he got back on Dawn's Mamoswine, & it's apparent that he's gotten a lot more powerful since last time.
- Dawn later snoops in on Paul's conversation with Reggie, & we find out that he wants Paul to win this just as badly as Paul himself.
- Once the two of them meet, it becomes apparent that they both want to take this home.
- Now the real fun begins! WAR START!! Pikachu VS Aggron. FIGHT!!
- Pikachu starts things off with an Iron Tail, but it's easily deflected by Aggron's Metal Claw.
- Aggron then lets out a Metal Sound that's heard 'round the world. That must be really powerful...!
- Pikachu lets out a Volt Tackle, & just as it makes contact, Aggron blasts it with a Flash Cannon. Damn...
- Pikachu gets swapped out with Infernape...
- ...& right away starts things off with a blaze that's called Flare Blitz! Even though Aggron's Double Edge landed as well, that Flare Blitz got him burned! That's more like it!
- Aggron charges up another Flash Cannon, but gets a Mach Punch to the face! That also happens to be the deathblow!
- Infernape... wait, no actually it's now Staraptor VS Gastrodon. FIGHT!!
- Staraptor lets loose an all-out-attack with Brave Bird, but Gastrodon stops it dead with a Muddy Water.
- What's even worse is that Paul has adapted Ash's Counter-Shield, & is using Gastrodon's Muddy Water to perform that maneuver. Needless to say, it's really effective against a physical attacker like Staraptor.
- Ash then sees an opening at the bottom, & orders an Aerial Ace at that spot. Only problem is... IT'S A @#%$ING TRAP!!!
- Gastrodon has Staraptor pinned down, & fires off a Water Pulse up in the sky. Why...?
- Apparently, the force of gravity seemingly is supposed to power up that Water Pulse, which may possibly be enough to nail a deathblow, if timed properly...
- However, Ash gets a brainwave, & has Staraptor use Close Combat on the ground. That has enough power to lift Gastrodon off his back & get the hell out of Dodge in the nick of time.
- Gastrodon quickly fires off an Ice Beam Staraptor's way, which hurt, but didn't freeze him. Ash quickly swaps him out for Buizel.
- Buizel comes out with an Aqua Jet. Gastrodon tries to stop it with another Ice Beam, but that ends in a set-up. The Ice Aqua Jet, a.k.a. the Ice Spear returns!
- Alas, it wasn't quite enough; Gastrodon gets up for another Body Slam, but is countered with an Ice Punch, which puts the deep-freeze on Gastrodon! Another stunning deathblow!
- Buizel VS Drapidon. FIGHT!!
- Drapidon lets out a flurry of PinNeedles, in which Buizel uses the Water Gun Counter Shield to fend the barrage off.
- Buizel slides off to vault Drapidon with SonicBoom, which is unfortunately all but nulled...
- Worse still, Drapidon ensnares him with his tail, & since it has near 360 degree rotation of his head, that turns to face Buizel! That's never a good thing... aaaaand CUT!!
...Yeah, I saw this coming a mile away; a blood feud like this is definitely going to take more than a measely half-hour to finish this fight. Even so, Ash seems to have gotten a lot of momentum in this part - now the only problem is maintaining this, & with Buizel ensnared, I'm afraid that mojmentum may have been lost...
