Pokémon Showdown: Fair and Balanced

Chapter 2: Cr1TiKaL H1t Dr4P10n

Sunset was now in a battle. Her opponent had Zygarde, Xerneas, Blaziken, Dusk Mane Necrozma, White Kyurem and Starly.

“I’m gonna assume that this guy is gonna lead with Starly to Endeavor then Quick Attack so really, it doesn’t matter who I lead with. I’ll just go into Araquanid.”

Araquanid and Starly were sent out into the battlefield. Sunset, knowing that Starly was going to use Endeavor, went for Sticky Web. Starly used Endeavor and failed.

“Now I could save Araquanid for Blaziken but it’s not really a good match for the rest of his team so I’ll just sack it off.”

Araquanid used Liquidation dealing 99% to Starly which hung on with its Focus Sash. Next turn, Starly took out Araquanid with Quick Attack.

“Alright, now with that over with, let’s try out using Drapion and use Fell Stinger.”

Sunset did just that. Drapion took out Starly and got to plus three physical attack thanks to Fell Stinger.

Her opponent then sent out White Kyurem. Kyurem went for Ice Burn but since it’s a two turn move and it wasn’t holding a Power Herb, Kyurem had to charge first turn. Drapion used Cross Poison, getting a critical hit KOing Kyurem.

“Nice!” Sunset was proud with the satisfying knockout.

Blaziken was then sent out.

“I’m gonna assume he’s gonna use Protect or Substitute so I’ll just use Agility.”

Drapion used Agility while Blaziken Mega Evolved using Swords Dance. Blaziken was now at plus one speed with Speed Boost.

“Good thing I went for Agility.”

Drapion used Cross Poison again, dealing 100% to Blaziken without a critical hit. Her opponent then forfeited, winning Sunset the battle.

“Holy crap he forfeited! Damn Drapion’s pretty good once it gets going. Let’s do another battle.”

***

The next battle, Sunset’s opponent was again, full of legendaries except for Gengar.

“Jesus Christ, again with the legendaries? Well anyways, I think I’ll go Manectric just so I could Volt Switch into someone else.”

Sunset sent out Manectric while her opponent went into Ho-Oh.

“Alright cool I sent out the right Pokémon, though I don’t think Thunderbolt will kill here. We can let Manectric take a hit as it might carry Earthquake and Mega Manectric has Intimidate.”

Sunset Mega Evolved Manectric and went for Thunderbolt dealing 58% damage. Ho-Oh used Earthquake but thanks to Intimidate, it only 61% damage. Sunset decided to use Volt Switch KOing Ho-Oh then switched into Drapion.

Sunset’s opponent sent out Darkrai. Darkrai used Dark Void but missed. Drapion used Agility getting plus two speed.

“Thank God that missed,” Sunset said while also letting out a sigh of relief.

Drapion used Cross Poison dealing 34% to Darkrai. Darkrai used Focus Blast doing 60% to Drapion. Darkrai then gained a little bit of health from Leftovers.

“Crit please,” prayed the bacon-haired girl.

Her wish was granted. Drapion KOed Darkrai with a critical hit Fell Stinger getting the plus three attack.

“Yes!”

Sunset then proceeded to sweep the rest of her opponents team with Drapion’s Cross Poison and Night Slash.

“Daaaayum, Drapion’s a beast. You know what? Let’s do one more battle.”
