So this is it. We entered the door after getting our badges checked, went down a corridor, and entered a room where a green haired guy waited for us. We spoke to him, and the battle between Rose and Aaron began!

First up was Ciara, against his Yanma! Ciara's Fire Punch got him well below half health! He Double Team'd. Next turn, he U-turned to Heracross! Ciara's Fire Punch bought him down to just below a quarter health, and another Fire Punch took him down! I sent Roboto against Vespiquen. I used Ice Beam, taking it down to very low health, and freezing her for the turn! He used a Full Restore, and Roboto used Ice Beam again. A Tri Attack finished it off. Yanmega V Reach now... after flinching from an Air Slash, I switched to Ciara, and he used Bug Buzz. U-turn switched the Ogre Darner pokemon with Scizor, who resisted Ice Punch! A Fire Punch bought it down though. I switched so Roboto faced Drapion. He used Cross Poison, hardly damaging me at all, and Roboto used Tri Attack, which got him to red, but he restored his health with a Sitrus Berry! Cross Poison from Drapion, but Tri Attack took it right down. Yanmega V Hanna now, and the battle began with Hanna using Arial Ace, which finally defeated the U-turning Pokemon! One down, three to go...

So Bertha, the Ground type specialist, was next. I healed, then began my battle with her! First up, was Roboto battling Whiscash. Roboto used Ice Beam, taking it down to roughly half health. She used Sandstorm. I used Ice Beam again next turn, defeating my opponent! Roboto was kept in against Gliscor, and it used Ice Beam, and 4x damage was more than enough to 1HKO the flying bat... thing. Next, Ciara V Hippowdon. After being horrified because I thought she had a Shiny Hippowdon, then remembering that's what it's gender difference looks like, I used Ice Punch, which didn't even bring it down to half health! She used Earthquake, which did the same, but Sandstorm bought my health down more! Next turn, I risked a Return, which did not defeat her, but for some reason it Yawn! So, next turn, she healed. Of course. Ice Punch, not doing enough, and now I'm asleep. Damn. I switched to Reach to avoid Earthquake. Reach flew up high! When he came down... Fly did next to nothing. And he got Yawned, So I U-turned to Roboto, which is what should have happened in the first place, really. Roboto took a Stone Edge to his... 'face', but survived it, and took the bloody hippo down with Ice Beam. Finally... next was Golem. I risked sending Race out first, for some reason... I couldn't outspeed it (duh), and was Earthquaked right out of battle, so I sent out Roboto, who used Ice Beam, which bought it to red, but a critical hit Earthquake defeated me! Hanna was next, and used Brick Break after she Full Restored Golem. Not even half gone. Another Brick Break, survived an Earthquake, and took it down with another Brick Break. Last up was Rhyperior, and I switched to Reach, so I could revive Roboto. The rhino's Rock Wrecker missed, so I Close Combated next turn, and Rhyperior flinched thanks to Kings Rock! Another Close Combat bought him to yellow, but he used his Sitrus Berry to heal, and took me down with Avalanche. Roboto was next, and Ice Beam secured the win against Bertha! Two more left!

After healing, I entered the firey next room, and faced the red afro guy I saw in Sunnyshore! Flint was my next battle! It began with Dream against Houndoom. He used Sunny Day, and I set up a Substitute. Next I used Toxic, which missed, but not before he broke my Substitute with a sun boosted Flamethrower! He used Flamethrower again, and I used Softboiled. Next turn: Flamethrower, Substitute. Next turn, he used his Flamethrower (I know, so surprising!), and I used Toxic, which finally hit. His flamethrower hardly did anything, and I used Softboiled again. While he used Sunny Day, I set up a Substitute (Yep, this is as boring for me as it is for you). I think you get the idea now, I'll just skip to the end. Dream won thanks to Toxic Damage, and was safely behind a Substitute when Infernape came on, meaning I could Toxic him before he defeated me! When a Mach punch took me down, I sent out Ciara, who used Return! It didn't quite defeat the monkey, but after Ciara survived a Flare Blitz, the recoil did! Next was Flareon, so I switched to Roboto. He used Tri Attack, twice, but not without being burned in between. I stayed in to face Rapidash, and used Tri Attack, which so nearly defeated it! The horse used Sunny Day, and healed next turn, while I used Tri Attack again. Somehow this one took it down. Eh? Anyway, Rapidash was down, which only left Magmortar. I switched to Race to heal Roboto, and was taken out soon after with a Flamethrower. I sent out Roboto, and the real battle began. A Tri Attack took the... thing down to yellow, but his sitrus berry restored him! Flamethrower did a scary amount of damage, but Roboto hung in there! Another Tri Attack was later, Flint was down, and but one Elite Four member remained!

Rose -VS- Lucian

Lucian, the final Elite Four challenge, and master of Psychic Pokémon. I healed, then spoke to him to begin the match! First of, I sent Ciara against Mr. Mime. She used Return, which took the Mime Pokémon down in one! Next up was Gallade. Uh oh. I switched to Hanna, who Arial Aced, not quite taking half his health off. His Drain Punch took me down, AND completely restored him! Roboto was next up, and he used Dark Pulse... Yeah the same problem as with Hanna, although Drain Punch didn't defeat me. I used Tri Attack and hoped for a Status Problem, but He didn't contract one. But then his Stone Edge missed! So I used Tri Attack again... and took the Psychic/Fighting Pokémon down! Alakazam was next, so I switched to Ciara. His Focus Blast missed, and Return did big damage... but not big enough. He hung on, and restored. I used Ice Punch. Next turn, his Focus Blast missed again, and Return defeated him! Ciara stayed in against Espeon, and used Return. Took it to yellow health, and it used Psychic back at me. He Full Restored next turn, and I used Return again. One more Return and Espeon was no longer a problem. Not that it ever was. Ciara took Bronzong down with a few Fire punches, and Lucian, the final of the Elite Four, was finished! But then he told me there remained the champion, an immensely powerful trainer who was most definitely not Cynthia. I healed, took a deep breath, and... saved and came off for now.
Won't post my team again, check the last post if you're interested, theres only minor changes since then. Since this thread moves very slowly, if no one posts between now and the next time I play, I'll just edit this post.
