Austin, a die-hard Pokémon fan, is disenchanted with the series' direction post-Sinnoh. After a typical late-night binge-watch, he drifts off to sleep, only to wake up in an unimaginable reality: he is Ash Ketchum, and today is the morning his legen...

Brock released his first Pokémon—a brownish-gray boulder Pokémon known as Geodude.

As the dust settled around the rocky terrain, it swiftly transformed into a swirling sandstorm. "Sand Veil," Austin murmured, his tongue clicking in slight annoyance.
"Pika," Pikachu voiced, sensing Austin's concern.
"Don't worry, I have a plan," Austin reassured, leaning down to whisper something to his partner before extending his hand for him to jump off.
Brock watched this with a frown. Given the electric type's disadvantage, he wondered, Did I overestimate this rookie?
Forrest signaled the start of the match. "Hajime!"

Brock observed without much worry as the nimble electric type leapt into the air, cheeks sparking.
Pikachu released a wave of electricity, but not at Geodude. Instead, it aimed at the ceiling.
Ceiling? Brock puzzled over the target until he gasped in realization just a moment too late.
The electricity struck the sprinklers, triggering them to release water throughout the arena.
The sandstorm was immediately quelled, and the rocky terrain began to turn muddy under the deluge of water.
Brock gulped as he caught sight of Austin's smile.
In a single calculated move, Austin had neutralized the advantages Brock's setup provided—the Smooth Rock that extended the sandstorm, Geodude's evasion boost, and the familiar dry terrain were all rendered useless.
