Pokemon Rusted Shield/Sword

Inferiority Complex

Hop smiled as he sent out his Dubwool, Grant returned in kind with Zappy.

Hop grinned as he exclaimed, "Victor may be far stronger than me but I'm at least still stronger than you!"

Grant ordered Zappy to strike. Dubwool made the first move however, kicking up dirt before charging at Zappy full speed and slamming into him with its horns into the the revived abomination. Zappy was slammed back into the snow on impact before he struggled back to his feet. Zappy stood up in the snow and prepared to counter, but the shooting pain in her oversized legs caused him to flinch. Afterwards the raining ice hit him in the head and was at last to much to bare, fainting him as Dubwool brushed off the hard pellets of frost, protected by its wool coat.

Grant saw he was in trouble and sent out Wick.

"Ha!" Grant exclaimed, "I've got you now! Calm Mind!"

Wick focused, concentrated, and the flame in the center or its body grew brighter. Meanwhile Hop grinned, "A ghost type huh? Not bad, but I'm prepared! Taught Dubwool some new moves! Show him what we got! Wild Charge!"

Dubwool began to violently vibrate, charging static electircty that flowed through its fleece as it attack with reckless abandon, the blow electrocuting both Dubwool and Wick, Wick far worse than Dubwool.

Wick countered with the concentrated flames that it blasted from within its body, which burned Dubwool's wool coat and fainted it.

The hail pelted Wick, and melted on his body which weakened his already dimming flames. Hop sent out his second Pokémon, Pincurchin as Grant ordered Wick to strike once more. Wick this time struck with Shadow Ball, calling upon a sphere of dark energy that consumed her spiked opponent and fainted it. However, the hail and damage from Dubwool began to much for her to bare and she too, fainted.

It was two to three now, and Grant knew he was at a disadvantage. Grant sent out Kiss as Hop sent out his Snorlax.

"I'm not gonna lose that easily!" Hop exclaimed, "I'm not weak and I'll prove it here and now!"

Grant signaled Kiss to prepared. Kiss crossed her arms in an X shape and awaited her opponent's move. Snorlax rushed over and leapt Kiss, ready to crush her with Body Slam, but Kiss countered with Obstruct. She pushed off Snorlax and left the massive beast on its back, open to attack, its defense lowered. She rushed forward with claws glowing as she slashed Snorlax's stomach with Night Slash in an X shape, the blow to Snorlax's soft belly hitting the creature's weak point and thus a critical hit that left a massive X shaped gash that fainted the lazy creature.

Hop began to get angry now as he cried out, "Darn it! I won't lose! I'm not weak! I swear I'm not weak! I'll prove it!"

Hop sent out Cinderace, who began to kick a small rock, the rock engulfed in flames by the sheer speed at which it flew through the air. However, Kiss once more used Obstract and, her arms protected by the thickest fur on her body, deflected Pyro Ball right back at Cinderace whos defenses were lowered by the hard blow to its head from the rock.

Kiss slammed Cinderace with its long head, swinging its massive neck to build momentum that slammed Cinderace into the snow, fainting it on impact with the frosted ground.

All the while however, the hail had begun to get to the now weakened Kiss, who stood strong still, ready to finish the job.

Hop sent out Corviknight, his last Pokémon. He cried out, "I'm not weak! I'm not! I'll prove it I swear!"

Grant ordered Kiss, "Obsturct and then finish this!"

However Hop predicted this and ordered, "Use Scary Face! Don't attack yet!"
