The Rain That Watered The Lillie

Showdown, Chapter Two: Familiar Faces

So I'm going up against Wick Emeralde, well then, time to strategize

Retro told me Wick's team doesn't have a specific type, Noctowl, Sudowoodo, Hypno, Hitmonlee, Sceptile, and Blaziken

somewhat type diverse, not bad, it's a one on one,

I just have to strategize properly.

Wick's team was a tip off from Otoko himself, I guess he doesn't want to see Old Wick in the championship bout

*SUN KAGAYAKU TO THE STADIUM PLEASE*

I'm late

when I arrived, the crowd had grown

"I have to say, Sun, I've seen your battles, you're quite impressive, but, are you impressive enough to beat me, I don't think so." Wick remarked

he sent in Sceptile, his ace

I sent in Decidueye

the battle started with Sceptile going in for a giga drain

Decidueye was lucky enough to dodge and counter with Spirit Shackle

this Sceptile was hurting, Wick had a smile on his face. he had an ace up his sleeve, "Sceptile, Mega Evolve, then use leaf blade!"

as sceptile mega evolved, I motioned for a z move. referencing the paper Retro gave me. it didn't have just Wick's team, it had something else

something weird about Sokoku is that it's the only point where the Dynamax Phenomenon, The Z-Move Phenomenon, and The Mega Evolution Phenomenon can be used, as each type of energy moves through Sokoku. we call it The Trio Phenomenon

So I ready a Z-Move, Sinister Arrow Raid,

a mega evolution boosted leaf blade struck decidueye, it didn't hurt him much, but sceptile didn't know what hit it, after a few seconds, of the Z-move doing it's thing, Sceptile fainted.

I had beaten a former Kanto Champion, the dude who was champion when I was a kid.

I went back into the waiting room and Wick was there

"ay Sun, good match, yeah?" Wick remarked holding out his hand

I shook his hand "yeah, from one champion to another,"

Retro's POV

I know Kazake's plan, so he's gonna pair Sun with the strongest opponents to get him out. he's placed Sun, against my brother.

I just wanna see Sun succeed at making it to me.

because...

Sun is the only person I see as worthy, of taking my titles from me.

Sun's POV

looks like I'm up against Hauringu, sorry Gladion, you lost. it's my turn to beat Hauringu. and I'm not holding back.

Hauringu's POV

now is the time, me and Sun, in the quarterfinals, with Silver and Raibaru matching up.

I'm going to face my brother in the championship bout. and I won't lose.
