Once all of the introductions were done between The Colemans, The Tsukikos, and the party, Scott than introduced the Pyramid King Brandon. He had a stern look on his face. Brandon apologized for being late, but he visiting a friend who lives in town that he hadn't seen since a chance encounter near Snowpoint City in Sinnoh. Pyramid King Brandon welcomed the heroes to the Battle Pyramid. He explained that it would be a full six on six battle where only the challenger can substitute. Brandon took his place in the red corner, while Liam took his in the green. [hider=Round 1] “Ninjask, I need your assistance!” Brandon called. “Jiriya! Its time to Shine!” Liam called. The two Pokémon emerged, ready to battle. [color=ed1c24]Brandon[/color]-vs-[color=39b54a]Liam[/color] [b][color=ed1c24]Ninjask[/color][/b]-1-[b][color=39b54a]Greninja[/color][/b] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-2-[color=39b54a]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-3-[color=39b54a]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-4-[color=39b54a]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-5-[color=39b54a]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-6-[color=39b54a]?[/color] “Ninjask, Double Team!” Brandon ordered. “Double Team as well.” Liam ordered. Both Pokémon began to dash around the arena fast enough to make copies of themselves. Ninjask’s speed boost triggered, making it faster. “Shadow Ball!” Brandon called. “Aerial Ace!” Liam called. The many Jiriyas quickly charged at the Ninjasks, dealing great damage to it. They than hit the Jiriya copies, and the real one with the Shadow Balls. Liam ordered a Water Shuriken and it was enough to KO the Ninjask. Brandon praised Ninjask for the good work, and commented that Jiriya was well trained. [/hider] [hr] [hider=Round 2] “Dusknoir! I need your assistance!” Brandon called. “Jiriya, take a break, Grimm, Its time to shine!” [color=ed1c24]Brandon[/color]-vs-[color=39b54a]Liam[/color] [s][color=ed1c24]Ninjask[/color][/s]-1-[color=39b54a]Greninja[/color] [b][color=ed1c24]Dusknoir[/color][/b]-2-[b][color=39b54a]Dusknoir[/color][/b] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-3-[color=39b54a]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-4-[color=39b54a]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-5-[color=39b54a]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-6-[color=39b54a]?[/color] “Shadow Punch!” Liam called while Brandon called for Shadow Ball. Grimm punched the other ghost’s attack, making it fly off in another direction. Grimm kept moving and hit the other Dusknoir. Brandon had his Dusknoir grab Grimm while he was close and used Ice Punch, freezing Grimm. While Grimm was frozen, he was hit with Hex. It was a critical hit, and Grimm was heavily injured. Brandon was again impressed. [/hider] [hr] [hider=Round 3] Liam recalled Grimm and sent out Blissey. Brandon was surprised to see Blissey called out. Being a normal type, Blissey wouldn’t be able to hit Dusknoir with a STAB move, nor would Dusknoir. [color=ed1c24]Brandon[/color]-vs-[color=39b54a]Liam[/color] [s][color=ed1c24]Ninjask[/color][/s]-1-[color=39b54a]Greninja[/color] [b][color=ed1c24]Dusknoir[/color][/b]-2-[color=39b54a]Dusknoir[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-3-[b][color=39b54a]Blissey[/color][/b] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-4-[color=39b54a]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-5-[color=39b54a]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-6-[color=39b54a]?[/color] “Toxic!” Liam called. Blissey hurled a blob of poison at the Dusknoir. Dusknoir retaliated with a Fire Punch. Blissey took the hit. Toxic sapped some of Dusknoir’s health. Dusknoir used Thunder Punch, and paralyzed Blissey. “Refresh.” Liam called. Blissey cured herself of the paralysis and Toxic sapped more health from Dusknoir. “Use Ice Punch.” Brandon ordered. “Dodge!” Liam ordered. Blissey managed to sidestep the attack and used Softboiled to heal herself. Toxic sapped even more health away from Dusknoir. Brandon ordered a Destiny Bond, knowing that the poison would likely take Dusknoir this turn. Liam ordered Healing Wish. Blissey knocked herself out to fully restore the next Pokémon to come out, who would be Grimm. Dusknoir was KO’d, and swapped out for Registeel. [/hider] [hr] [hider=Round 4] “Registeel, I need your assistance!” “Grimm, Its time to shine!” [color=ed1c24]Brandon[/color]-vs-[color=39b54a]Liam[/color] [s][color=ed1c24]Ninjask[/color][/s]-1-[color=39b54a]Greninja[/color] [s][color=ed1c24]Dusknoir[/color][/s]-2-[b][color=39b54a]Dusknoir[/color][/b] [b][color=ed1c24]Registeel[/color][/b]-3-[s][color=39b54a]Blissey[/color][/s] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-4-[color=39b54a]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-5-[color=39b54a]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-6-[color=39b54a]?[/color] Register was ordered to use Thunderbolt. Dusknoir used Shadow Sneak. Both moves hit the target. Liam called for Curse. Grimm cut his health to curse the Registeel. Register than finished Grimm off with Iron Head. [/hider] [hr] [hider=Round 5] “Smaug, its time to shine!” Liam called as his Charizard emerged from the Luxury Ball. [color=ed1c24]Brandon[/color]-vs-[color=39b54a]Liam[/color] [s][color=ed1c24]Ninjask[/color][/s]-1-[color=39b54a]Greninja[/color] [s][color=ed1c24]Dusknoir[/color][/s]-2-[s][color=39b54a]Dusknoir[/color][/s] [b][color=ed1c24]Registeel[/color][/b]-3-[s][color=39b54a]Blissey[/color][/s] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-4-[b][color=39b54a]Charizard[/color][/b] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-5-[color=39b54a]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-6-[color=39b54a]?[/color] Liam activated the Mega Ring, and Smaug Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard Y. An intense sunlight filled the arena. Registeel was afflicted by the curse, and then hit by Smaug’s Flamethrower. Registeel was KO’d and swapped out for Solrock. [/hider] [hr] [hider=Round 6] [color=ed1c24]Brandon[/color]-vs-[color=39b54a]Liam[/color] [s][color=ed1c24]Ninjask[/color][/s]-1-[color=39b54a]Greninja[/color] [s][color=ed1c24]Dusknoir[/color][/s]-2-[s][color=39b54a]Dusknoir[/color][/s] [s][color=ed1c24]Registeel[/color][/s]-3-[s][color=39b54a]Blissey[/color][/s] [b][color=ed1c24]Solrock[/color][/b]-4-[b][color=39b54a]Charizard (Y)[/color][/b] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-5-[color=39b54a]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-6-[color=39b54a]?[/color] (sun 2) Liam ordered a Solarbeam, which was deflected with Psybeam. Solrock than used Ancient Power, which hurt Smaug for considerable damage. (sun 3) Both Pokémon fired Solarbeam, with neither one able to overcome the other. (Sun 4) Solrock used Ancient Power. Smaug was worse for wear, but was able to finish Solrock off with another Solarbeam. [/hider] [hr] [hider=Round 7] “Regice, I need your assistance!” Brandon called. [color=ed1c24]Brandon[/color]-vs-[color=39b54a]Liam[/color] [s][color=ed1c24]Ninjask[/color][/s]-1-[color=39b54a]Greninja[/color] [s][color=ed1c24]Dusknoir[/color][/s]-2-[s][color=39b54a]Dusknoir[/color][/s] [s][color=ed1c24]Registeel[/color][/s]-3-[s][color=39b54a]Blissey[/color][/s] [s][color=ed1c24]Solrock[/color][/s]-4-[b][color=39b54a]Charizard (Y)[/color][/b] [b][color=ed1c24]Regice[/color][/b]-5-[color=39b54a]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-6-[color=39b54a]?[/color] (Sun Final) “Flamethower!” Liam called. “Ice Beam!” Brandon ordered. The attacks met and negated one another. Regice next used another Ice Beam and finished Smaug off. Liam sent Goodra out. [/hider] [hr] [hider=Round 8] [color=ed1c24]Brandon[/color]-vs-[color=39b54a]Liam[/color] [s][color=ed1c24]Ninjask[/color][/s]-1-[color=39b54a]Greninja[/color] [s][color=ed1c24]Dusknoir[/color][/s]-2-[s][color=39b54a]Dusknoir[/color][/s] [s][color=ed1c24]Registeel[/color][/s]-3-[s][color=39b54a]Blissey[/color][/s] [s][color=ed1c24]Solrock[/color][/s]-4-[s][color=39b54a]Charizard (Y)[/color][/s] [b][color=ed1c24]Regice[/color][/b]-5-[b][color=39b54a]Goodra[/color][/b] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-6-[color=39b54a]?[/color] Goodra fired off a Flamethrower, which got a lucky hit on the Regice. Regice used Ice Beam and hit Goodra. Goodra used Dragon Pulse, which hit very well, despite the type disadvantage. Regice was ordered to use Ice Beam, but missed and Goodra fired off another Flamethrower. Regice next used Frost Breath. It was a critical hit and KO’d Goodra. [/hider] [hr] [hider=Round 9] Jiriya was sent back out. [color=ed1c24]Brandon[/color]-vs-[color=39b54a]Liam[/color] [s][color=ed1c24]Ninjask[/color][/s]-1-[b][color=39b54a]Greninja[/color][/b] [s][color=ed1c24]Dusknoir[/color][/s]-2-[s][color=39b54a]Dusknoir[/color][/s] [s][color=ed1c24]Registeel[/color][/s]-3-[s][color=39b54a]Blissey[/color][/s] [s][color=ed1c24]Solrock[/color][/s]-4-[s][color=39b54a]Charizard (Y)[/color][/s] [b][color=ed1c24]Regice[/color][/b]-5-[s][color=39b54a]Goodra[/color][/s] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-6-[color=39b54a]?[/color] Liam wanted Jiriya to cover the battlefield in as thick of a smokescreen as he could. He didn’t want Regice to see Jiriya coming. Brandon was surprised at the order, seeing as such would keep Liam from seeing as well and realized that he must have some sort of strategy. Liam closed his eyes and began to focus on Jiriya’s presence. “Power up Punch 30 degrees to your right!” Liam called. Inside the smoke, Jiriya hit the other Pokémon. Brandon called for a Lock On. Liam next ordered a Night Slash. Jiriya managed to hit, but Brandon ordered a Hammer Arm, which was Super Effective since Jiriya just became Dark type. Jiriya went flying out of the smoke and was KO’d. When the smoke dispersed, it was found that it was in fact a double KO, leaving them both with a single Pokémon. [/hider] [hr] [hider=Round 10] “Regirock! I need your assistance!” “Deoxys, its time to shine!” [color=ed1c24]Brandon[/color]-vs-[color=39b54a]Liam[/color] [s][color=ed1c24]Ninjask[/color][/s]-1-[s][color=39b54a]Greninja[/color][/s] [s][color=ed1c24]Dusknoir[/color][/s]-2-[s][color=39b54a]Dusknoir[/color][/s] [s][color=ed1c24]Registeel[/color][/s]-3-[s][color=39b54a]Blissey[/color][/s] [s][color=ed1c24]Solrock[/color][/s]-4-[s][color=39b54a]Charizard (Y)[/color][/s] [s][color=ed1c24]Regice[/color][/s]-5-[s][color=39b54a]Goodra[/color][/s] [b][color=ed1c24]Regirock[/color][/b]-6-[b][color=39b54a]Deoxys[/color][/b] Brandon called for Zap Cannon, while Liam called for Shadow Ball. Deoxys morphed into his Attack form and flung the attack, getting hit by Zap Cannon and paralyzed. Brandon called for Iron Defense and Liam had Deoxys use Pycho Shift, to give his status condition to the Regirock. Brandon called for an Ancient Power, which connected. “Use Agility!” Liam called. Deoxys morphed to his speed form and began to move around at an accelerated pace. Regirock used Lock on as a target appeared on Deoxys’ body. Deoxys flung a Shadow Ball which hit. Regirock used Ancient Power again. Deoxys had lost a good amount of health, and Liam ordered it to Recover. Regirock’s paralyzed condition forced it to skip its turn. Liam had Deoxys use Agility again while Brandon effectively made it irrelevant with another Lock On. Brandon than ordered Regirock to use Superpower. “Counter!” Liam ordered. Deoxys stayed in his Attack Form and began to glow with a red aura. When Regirock slammed its fist onto Deoxys, he was sent flying backward and was KO’d. Deoxys was barely holding on, and Liam was named the winner. Brandon presented him with the Brave Symbol. [/hider]
