Ash's Paldea Story

Chapter 80 Elite Four Battle: Hassel

We're reaching our final Elite Four member, and it is our Art Teacher Professor Hassel. He smiles at us and says, "I was, of course, absolutely certain you would make it to me eventually. Young sprouts truly do grow with astounding speed, yes... But I never for a moment imagined we would be facing each other so soon!"

"You're right, Professor." I say.

"Now, a teacher's duty is to guide students and aid their growth. But I think I shall forget about my role as a teacher for a moment...and wield all my might for the sole purpose of defeating you! I am Hassel, the dragon guarding the final fortress of the Elite Test. Prepare to learn firsthand how the fiery breath of ferocious battle feels!"

Of course, Professor Hassel is a Dragon-Type user, although I was curious as to what Pokemon will he uses. His first Pokemon is Noivern, I say, "Noivern? Then I'll go with Eiscue!"

When I send out the Ice Type Pokemon, I have it go for the Blizzard, dealing a great strike.

"Show me everything you've got. I shall face you with my full strength!" Professor Hassel says as he commands Noivern to use Super Fang, breaking the Ice Face. As usual, I like to use Snowscapes and make the Ice Face back again. But the Ice Face is also destroyed when Noivern uses Air Slash. Then Eiscue goes for Weather Ball, only to be stopped by the Dragon Pulse. Noivern goes for Super Fang again, but I have Eiscue use Protect to block the attack.

"Let's see how you deal with this. Boomburst!" Of course, he's going to have that move, and I have Eiscue dodge the attack by sliding on the snow, then it goes for a Surf Attack, hitting Noivern. Noivern rushes in for the Super Fang, much to my surprise, and it manages to cut half of Eiscue's HP.

Noivern is commanded to use Air Slash to slice at Eiscue, which creates a huge dust cloud, and with the Dragon Pulse, Eiscue is finally falling to the ground fainted.

"Really? Eiscue is down?" Lillie asks with shock.

"It might have the Type advantage, but Professor Hassel is also a strong one." Nemona says.

"If that's the case, I'll go with Pikachu!" I send out my mouse as my second Pokemon, and Pikachu jumps into the field. "Use Play Rough!"

When Pikachu charges at Noivern, it goes for Boomburst, stopping Pikachu at the tracks and dealing some damage. I have Pikachu use Electro Web, lowering its speed, and Noivern decides to go for Air Slash, but Pikachu uses Iron Tail to strike it back.

"Use Draco Meteor!" I yell, and Pikachu fires off the move as meteors are falling from the air.

"Air Slash to destroy them!" Professor Hassel yells, but despite the Air Slash managing to strike some down, Noivern is still hit and knocked out.

"Haxorus, you're next." Professor Hassel's second Pokemon is Haxorus. I have Pikachu use Icicle Crash, but Haxorus uses Iron Head and dodges the attack, hitting Pikachu.

"Play rough!" I yell, and Pikachu charges at Haxorus and starts punching him, but Haxorus goes for Rock Tomb, successfully trap Pikachu inside the Rock formation, and it goes for Dragon Claw, slashing Pikachu and knocking it out of the battlefield.

"I'm sorry, Pikachu." I frown as I recall the Pokemon. "Skeledirge! I choose you!"

After sending the Fire Type Pokemon out, Professor Hassel commands Haxorus to use Crunch, and it manages to deal super-effective damage.

"Will-o-Wisp!" I command and have Skeledirge burn the Haxorus, and once it has the status effect, I have it go for Hex, which deals more damage.

"Use Rock Tomb!" Professor Hassel tries to use a Rock Type move to stop Skeledirge, but I have Skeledirge use Torch Song, both attacks collide with each other, and then I decide to have it use Torch Song again, this time it overpowers the Rock Tomb and hit Haxorus. With the final Shadow Ball, Haxorus is defeated.
