Looks nice.

Let's do this.

Also, got ta start thinking about what other Pokemon Robert has in his roster. I bet he has a Volcanora, for example.

If it's fire type, he probably has it

We need to take out his Torkoal as fast as possible when it comes in.

The crowd cheers at the slight break in the fighting. It’s not on purpose, it’s just that both your side and Robert’s have taken a few seconds of breather time to assess the situation.

Stealth Rock is in play on his side of the field. Both of his Pokemon are confused, but could snap out of it any second now. Vlad took a hard, nasty hit from Thunderbolt, and won’t survive a light attack, but he also has two uses of Double Team up, so hitting him will be a gamble.

You and Robin have been doing well so far, generally outwitting Robert with every move. But his overwhelming power is undeniable and any slip-up on your part could easily swing things back in his favor.

"They're staring each other down!"

“That’s right, Chip. It seems both sides are taking measure and planning their next move carefully.”

You look to Robin. She’s sweating. So are you, actually. “He’ll keep the heat up to wear on our Pokemon’s stamina and lower our concentration. The longer the match goes, the hotter it’ll get.” She takes a gulp of a water bottle and then hands it to you.

You take off your overshirt, leaving just a tank top. That’ll buy time, but this heat from his constant fire attacks will start wearing on your concentration before long.

At the same time, Robert’s Pokemon also tend to frontload on attacks and go all-out and are likely to be more vulnerable to damage as the match goes on as well. That’s the cost of his incredible offensive power.

Vlad can move twice in the speed it takes a normal Pokemon to move once. His moves aren’t quite as powerful, though.

Robin’s Dragonite takes the center front position, showing that she’ll likely go with a physical move.

Might as well do it twice. He won't earthquake. It'll hit his own, won't hit Dragonite, and will only hit Vlad if we Roost. He's not tricky, he's going to keep hitting us with fire moves.

“Roost!”

Vlad lands on a soft spot to rest for a moment. You can see an improvement in his health almost immediately. It continues to climb.

Robert’s Pokemon begin rushing.

“Darmanitan! Rollout! Magmortar, Thunderbolt!”

“Dragonite, Roo-no, Sky Drop on Magmortar!!”

Rollout rolls into Dragonite. It’s not a fancy hit, but it still hurts. Dragonite keeps flying at his target, though.

Magmortar manages to land another Thunderbolt on Vlad, zapping away the health he just regained. Still, if you hadn’t used Roost twice, he’d definitely be out. That thing can hit hard.

It’s smirk from managing to hit Vlad a second time vanishes as it’s swept up by Dragonite into the sky.

“Good job, Dragonite!”

Robin looks back to you apologetically. She was hoping to get Magmortar before it could hit Vlad. But for the next few precious seconds, it’ll be Vlad against Darmanitan. Vlad has the type advantage with that matchup.

Remember, though, Vlad becomes flying again as sooneeded as he does anything other than roost. He only retains the change during the opponents move if he roots as his last action.

“Roost!”

Vlad lands on the ground again, regaining precious health.

“Fool!” Robert bellows. “Darmanitan, use Smack Down!” He points to Dragonite.

Darmanitan starts rushing forward.

“Vlad! Brave Bird!”

Vlad blows through the air at insane speed, sending out a shockwave. He strikes Darmanitan as it tries to leap into the air, making it’s jump turn into an ungraceful flop as it’s knocked out in mid-leap. It lands on it’s face.

Dragonite drops Magmortar to the ground, causing a respectable amount of damage. Magmortar is no longer confused, but he doesn’t have much left in him.

“Amazing, simply amazing. Crobat’s not just a fast status layer, but an impressively strong and precise attacker.”

“An unexpected revelation, Chip. There’s no shortage of surprises coming from Kat and Robin in this tournament.”

Try as you might, you can’t help get a little smug grin as you wipe the sweat from your forehead. Vlad zooms back and high-fives your open palm as you do so, earning a small warning from the referee about trainer contact. Not a big deal unless you get a few more.

Vlad looks like he’s down to about half-health after that attack thanks to the recoil, or maybe a little less. That’s better than you expected, though.

Robert glares. He throws out his next replacement Pokemon, Torkoal. It’s struck by Stealth Rock on entry.

Dragonite glides back into position, ready to keep things going with Vlad.

You notice that both Pokemon are flapping wings just a tiny bit slower. The heat is brutal, even if he hasn't used a fire move just now, there’s still a decent but dissipating warmth coming from the area’s on the field his moves have struck.

You flap the underside of your shirt for some cool air.

Serious important question: What do you guys think the rest of Robert's team looks like? One Anon suggested he probably has Volcarona, and I think that's a pretty safe bet.

Other than that, I'm guessing he's got a Talonflame for speed, and come to think of it, he's probably also got a Houndoom. Devon might have some competition.

>>46868755
I'm guessing a Pyroar, Blaziken or Emboar, Rapidash, Heatran and Possibly Delphox.

“Vlad! Confuse Ray and Bite!” You point at Torkoal.

“Rapid Spin!” Robert yells out, exactly like you’d expect.

Vlad launches a Confuse Ray like a torpedo as he latches on, biting Torkoal on the neck.

Torkoal flinches. Even if it didn’t, you suspect it’d be too confused to do anything. It flails weakly, unable to really tell what’s going on.

“RAAHH!” He smashes the small podium on his side of the arena, clearly damaging it. He’s given a warning card. When he glares at the referee, the ref flinches. “Magmortar! Finish that damned pest once and for all!”

Magmortar takes aim and fires another Thunderbolt. But this time, it hits one of the double-team versions of Vlad instead, missing the real one.

Dragonite comes in with a spin and slams Magmortar with an Aqua Tail. It’s another respectable strike, and enough to knock it out.

“Pokemon after Pokemon on Robert’s side is going down! What a battle!”

“That’s right, Chip. One can’t help but-”

Robert glares at the announcer box.

“...but assume it’s all going according to Robert’s plan.”

He looks even angrier at that statement. He turns his attention back to the fight. “Magmortar. Return!” He quickly retrieves the knocked-out Pokemon and sends in Heatran again. “No more games! This circus ends-”

Stealth Rock smashes into Heatran, cutting him off. You swear you can see a vein popping from all the way where you are.

“I’ll handle Torkoal with Sky Drop to keep it from using Rapid Spin,” Robin tells you. “Unless you have a different idea.” She doesn't seem to like the idea of fighting Torkoal. You remember her telling you how she and it are good friends.

Even if she uses Sky-Drop on it, Vlad could hit it before then. Or you could focus on Heatran with your non-poison moves.

Just in case. If Robert gets a lucky hit and finishes Vlad off, that could allow him to get his temper back in order. Losing his chance at taking Vlad out is just going to make him more and more angry. Vlad's done some serious work. He deserves a rest.

Nice watch, Robert. Too bad you won't be able to read it once I break it; your face, that is.

We better kiss Robin once the fight is over after this performance. Not even to rub his face in it, but because it's only right.

Gobble is trying to find something words to express the sheer rage that Robert is feeling right now.

He is going to practically be a salt elemental by the time the turn is through.

>>46869987
>salt elemental

Someone stat that.

Then use it in a game.

Recount the tale for our edification.

Look up Tale of an Industrious Rogue on 1d4chan. The players used salt elementals to begin an empire.

>>46870060
I'll do that after this.

I want to see an E4 trainer's heart explode into a Bloodthirster from sheer frothing RAEG!

>>46870060
Honestly, the word "empire" doesn't even begin to do those psychos justice, start with "superpower" and you're on the right track.

“Torkoal! You will do as you’ve been trained and Rapid Spin! And Heatran, use Nova Cleanse!”

Heatran looks back at Robert, unsure.

Robert stomps his foot, making a small crack in his platform. “I don’t care about that! Use it!”

You don’t know what that Nova Cleanse move is, but if it’s a move that even Robert would hesitate to use before, it doesn’t sound good.

“Vlad! Confuse Ray and Bite on Heatran!”

“Dragonite! Sky Drop!”

What you witness unfold is a beautiful example of art in motion.

Vlad lands a Confuse Ray in Heatran’s eye and enraging it. It looks just like Robert.

Vlad and Dragonine fly at their opponents. The uneven heat in the air causes them to rise and fall, but they ride it gracefully, confusing Heatran and Torkoal even further.

Despite the confusion, the metal oval part on Heatran’s head begins to open up, but Vlad clamps down on it with Bite. From it’s body language, it’s easy to tell that that’s where it’s next attack is going to originate from.

Heatran’s attack is stuck going off inside it’s own body. Vlad holds his Bite down tight, refusing to let it get out. Heatran glows red, and the ground below it begins to smolder and melt.

“It doesn't matter!” Robert yells. A tinge of desperation in his booming voice. “Nova Cleanse doesn't need to be aimed! Ha. Ahahaha!”

Vlad keeps holding it, stopping that unholy plasma from escaping. It’s fangs remain embedded in the solid steel of Heatran’s head. Poison slobber falls from his open mouth and onto Heatran, instantly vaporizing. But Vlad holds on.

Robin’s Dragonite picks up Torkoal and takes off.

>>46870275
Fucking hell, Robert is going mad. Violet is going to have words with him.

>>46870275
Oh god, he's gone completely round the bend hasn't he

>>46870275
Vlad is a badass.

>>46870275
This is nice, I like this. I want to see Robert angry more.

>>46870275
Match called, Robert thrown out of League?

>>46870374
Given that he already got a warning and is only getting worse, it's entirely possible.

>>46870429
Considering I've got a funny feeling that it sounds like Heatran is about to melt itself, I'd put money on it.

>>46870275
Vlad struggles and fights, holding Nova Cleanse back. Heatran begins sinking into the ground, deeper and deeper as everything below it melts. Whatever that move is, it’s easily the strongest you've ever seen.

And Vlad continues not to yield. Heatran glares up at the pest on it’s head and redoubles its efforts. You feel the heat from here. You see steam shooting from it and the dirt take on a shimmer from the sandy parts melting.

And Vlad holds it anyway.

Heatran’s eyes roll up, and it passes out in it’s own ground-melted pit of formerly solid ground. Vlad holds it until he’s sure the struggle is over, then he relents and flies off, adjusting it’s sore jaw muscles.

You look to Dragonite. It gently placed down Torkoal in an out-of-bounds area. Robin’s success didn't lie in doing incredible damage, but managing to lift and leave Torkoal out of the fight without Dragonite getting hurt in the process. A referee waves a flag about Torkoal being out of bounds, and it’s unable to run back to the battle area in time.

Robert isn't enraged, or smashing things, or trying to melt anyone with his gaze. He looks like his entire world just fell apart. You didn't beat his strongest Pokemon using its strongest move with a trick. You beat it in a direct contest of strength and willpower.

He falls to his knees, defeated.

The cheering is overpowering. The announcers are jumping. The hype in the arena right now is incredible. But Robert is staring off at nothing. He retrieves both Pokemon without looking.

Time passes. The audience is still going nuts, but the referees are beginning to press Robert to take out his next Pokemon, or at least respond to them in some way.

He weakly begins to raise his hand to motion to the referee.

He’s surrendering!

It's safe to say that he's realized how wrong he was to doubt us, and especially how wrong he was to doubt Robin. Hopefully he and Robin can make up once he's had some time to pick himself back up.

Did we break him? I think we just broke him.

Remember that Zubat starter idea? I think it's going to take off like a rocket after this gets out.

Well, Emma is going to be really pleased.

We won through superior tactics and broke Robert's spirit in the process.

Maybe Robin will?

>>46871093
Four and Charizard was effectively out.

We lost Nibbles.

>>46871093
6 (Charizard wasn't technically out but was pretty damn injured). It was entirely possible that he was overconfident when he agreed to a 12 battle and his other 6 were no where as well trained as the first 6.

>>46871165
Let's not forget that Robin is still on her first pokemon with Dragonite as well.

You open your mouth to say something. Anything. But words fail you. You look to Robin and she’s the same.

“T-the only time he’s ever looked like that is when mom left.”

A slight pang of guilt hits you. But it’s very, very slight.

“What’s this? It looks like Robert is throwing in the towel.”

“I...yes. We’re getting confirmation, Chip. Robert has forfeited. The challengers win.”

Once again the crowd goes insane. Not just cheering, but conjecture and surprise. The jumbotron starts showing researched stats on surrenders in the tournament and Robert’s battle history, as well as speculation on that move.

Vlad lands in your arms, and you hold him tightly. Robin hugs her Dragonite when it lands, too.

Your friends rush down and you feel pats on the back, but it all fades into the background as Robert approaches.

He’s pale and still looking at nothing in particular. He mutters something about a good match and offers you a badge he doesn’t have. It’s likely a recited speech from his gym leader days.

>>46871242

Tell our other E4 buds to stick around him tonight. Emma can take him drinking, maybe. He shouldn't be alone, but he shouldn't be with us.

>>46871242
>>Invite him to your hotel suite. He might need supervision
>Encourage Robin to say something

>>46871242
Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Vlad just essentially one-shotted a legendary?

>>46871302
Good idea

>>46871242
>Invite him to your hotel suite. He might need supervision

I don't think he should be alone right now, not if we want to bring him into the fold.

>>46871242
>Shake his hand. ”Great match."
Make some comments about the cool stuff we noticed about his Pokemon like how they seemed to have 2 abilities and Heateran's last move

>>46871242
>Invite him to your hotel suite. He might need supervision
>Encourage Robin to say something

>>46871302
>>46871315

Changing the invite to getting Emma to watch him.
Also, keep him away from Violet.

I don't think we should invite him to the hotel but maybe out to a bar

>>46871242
>Shake his hand. ”Good match.”
>Encourage Robin to say something
>Something else
"Have dinner with us."

Inviting him to our hotel suite might be a little weird, but Robert absolutely needs some sort of supervision here. Not saying this will definitely go in a dark direction otherwise, but he's definitely striking me as suicidal - or at least incredibly depressed - based on how he's acting; he's feeling hopeless, obviously for a lot of reasons. This loss is the straw that broke that camel's back, and we want to make sure this doesn't end in him offing himself.

>>46871356
And once again:

Keep Violet the hell away from him.

ESPECIALLY after the botched Nova Cleanse.

>>46871356
This actually seems like a good start. Then based on the night see where it goes from there. Just Robin and Kat, maybe Claire?

>>46871521
Yes, true.

But right now in particular or she could very easily be the final nail in the coffin for Robert.

Literally.

>>46871356
Why not.

Honestly even if us and Robin both getting 100s is very unlikely, I feel like the degree of victory we had is kind of undeserved.

That being said, I wasn't really sure if encouraging Robert was the right move, so I didn't really feel like voting.

>>46871242
We need to think about archiving soon. We're past the 300 post mark.

>>46871631
>I feel like the degree of victory we had is kind of undeserved.

A bit

>>46871631
I feel like it was also Gobble not wanting this to take 4 threads. Which I am fine with.

>>46871631
>>46871716
We also took down half of his Pokemon while we only lost one so far

>>46871716
And we are now auto-saging.

>>46871631
Nah, I think for a 1 in 10,000 chance it was pretty reasonable. Plus we were already winning and the battle was going to go on for fucking ever otherwise, so I don't have a problem with it.

>>46871716
Robert was already becoming angry, I bet the plan in the beginning was for something like this, the double 100's probably just sped it along a bit.

“Robin, get the challenger and yourself a badge...” he says distantly, unaware of how wrong that is.

“Great match,” You shake his hand. It’s limp, but he doesn't resist.

You look to Robin for guidance, or to say words of her own. Your glance snaps her out of her shock.

“I-I-I...whenever I was sad, Torkoal always did his best to cheer me up. You should talk to him. He’s a good listener.”

He holds Torkoal’s Pokeball questioningly, then looks at Robin for the first time in a long time.

Vance nudges you. You look over to see Violet approaching. You curse under your breath.

Vance is on the same wavelength. He and Jeanine go to run interference and keep her away. “Go.”

You pat Robert on the back. The first time your hand hit’s it, you almost fear it’ll be burnt. Even in his defeated state, he has a distinct intensity. “Why don’t we go get dinner?” You rush him out, with Robin and Clair in tow.

You head out the back, and to your surprise, Emma and Cliff are there. They guide you out, evading press and fans.

“What are you guys doing here?” Clair asks.

“We figured we’d have to hold Robert back from strangling Kat if she and Robin won,” Emma says. But the jovality of her voice leaves as she looks concerned and his unfocused pupils.

They take you to a private restaurant with a private booth. When 3 of the Elite Four want something like that in this town, they don’t have to try too hard.

You all sit down to order. They cater to Pokemon too, so after getting them all treated, you order them all everything they want and try not to think about the bill.

Emma and Cliff, who both look like they’ve been waiting for Robert to be defeated to gloat about it, now seem to regret their wish. It’s a bit awkward.

Clair takes this opportunity to sample off of everyone's plates and doesn't really care.
