This really sucks. I order Zekrom to use Fusion Bolt. He goes first and takes Cofagrigus to red after a crit. Again! He uses Full Restore. Another crit. Nice. I order it again expecting another Full Restore, but nope, and Cofagrigus has fallen. His next is Bouffalant. These Pokies are in the 52 level range. I want to send out Cobalion, but he was recently taken out by one super effective move from a Pokie that didn’t even have a STAB attack. I could keep out Zekrom. I could dispatch Smaug. I cloud slide to Automation knowing there could not be any stab attacks from the Normal Pokie. Then I could use Curse. I don’t use Curse enough to know if it would still effect the target if Automaton falls. I could STAB Earthquake. That’s probably a safer choice. I slide to Automaton. It’s level 51 after all. I use Earthquake, and I go first. He uses it back. Neither of us took the other to yellow. It did about the same level of damage to each of us, so I could have Cursed. Ah well. I use it again. He is in red. He uses it again, and I’m in deep yellow. A third time. He does not use a potion and falls. Good job Automaton.

My foe’s next Pokemon is Seismitoad. It’s a Ground/Water Pokemon. Flying is immune to ground, ground to electric. I could toss out Thundurus and use Fly. I assume it has a good ground attack, perhaps another with Earthquake. Sending out Cobalion is stupid, and no one has a type advantage against it. I could also just send out Smaug and slog with it, but removing a STAB attack in Earthquake seems my best bet, so out goes Thundurus. I use Fly and jump up. It uses Muddy Water and I am no there. I fall down and deal very little and it uses Rain Dance. I only took out roughly 30% with Fly. I try it again. It connects with Muddy Water and I am down to yellow (as is it). The bad thing about Fly is that I could use it here, and he could use a Full Restore, and then I hit, and it takes me out. I don’t have another attack beside Thunderbolt. He hasn’t been using Restores before when he could’ve and needed to, so perhaps he has just one. I used Muddy Water a lot and I know it misses sometimes. What I could do is heal Thundurus and keep healing after every attack until his misses. It will happen. Then I use Fly and take it out. Let’s play this aggressively. I use Fly. He does not use a potion. Fly takes it out. Good job Thundurus.

His next Pokemon is Bisharp. I want to send out Victini, but dark is good vs Psychic, so I send out Cobalion. Dark/Steel is double weak vs fight. Go Cobalion. I order a Sacred Sword. We go first and OHKO it. Level 47 for Cobalion. The next Pokemon is named Hydreigon. I have no idea what that is, but it sounds like Water. I switch back to Zekrom. It doesn’t look like water, it looks like a flying, dark, dragon. I go with my gut and use Dragon Breath. It uses Dragon Pulse and kills me in one hit. Dang. It’s definitely dragon. It’s level 54. I send out Smaug, who I think is faster that Zekrom, and only gives up two levels. He goes first with Dragon Pulse – fast. He takes out Smaug in one hit too. I’ve just lost my two strongest Pokies, fully healed, in back to back turns. I send out Cobalion. It has Fire Blast and hits, of course KO’d Cobalion. I don’t get lucky with a miss. I dispatch a very wounded Victini. If Smaug and Zekrom aren’t fast enough to hit Hydreigon, then who can take him out? Will Thundurus get off a Thunder Wave before biting it? I doubt it. All of these attacks are elemental and will do normal damage to Automaton, who is badly injured. I think my only shot is to Max Revive Cobalion, and then hope my foe misses with Fire Blast and see if Sacred Sword can take it down, since I bet it’s a Dark Pokie. I do it. Down goes Thundurus. In goes Cobalion. There is a 30% chance that Fire Blast will miss, assuming it uses the same stats as previous games. Use Sacred Sword! It connects with Fire Blast. Go Victini. Max Revive Cobalion. It uses Surf? It does not kill me. I use Revive on Smaug. Dragon Pulse takes me down. Go Cobalion. It this again. Go Smaug. Max Revive Victini. I have a plan. Smaug falls. Go Victini.

New plan. I use X Special Defend., now that I have a Poke that can take a hit out already. He uses Surf. It does a lot less damage. Another! Now I use Hyper Potion to heal me. He uses Dragon Pulse and does not much. I use Revive on Cobalion. Surf on me. I use Hyper Potion on Vic. Surf again. Hyper Pot on Cobalion. Surf again. It s crit and Victini falls. Blast. And I was about to start bringing back others. I slide to Automaton. Max Revive on Victini and we’ll try this again. This is going to take a while, I’ll tell you the results in a bit.

Okay, I have a fully revived and healed Smaug, Cobalion, and Zekrom, when Victini falls to another crit with Surf. Out goes Cobalion. Let’s try Sacred Sword again. It uses Focus Blast, which it has not used until now, it also has a 70% chance of hitting, and it does, so I fall again. Go Smaug! Let’s Max Revive Victini again. Go Victini. I’m using the X Spec Def trick again.

My foe is now using Struggle, which means it has no moves left. Haha! Victini is Searing Shot’ing it. It faints! Level 51 for Zekrom. My last foe is Eelektross. Electric Pokemon. I would send out Automaton, but I had not fully healed it just a revive. I send out Zekrom. Let’s start with Dragon Breath. It replies with Crunch. Neither do a lot. Again. A third time. It is in Red and Paralyzed, and it does not attack because of that. One more time! Eelektross falls.

Ghetsis is mega pissed. He is escorted out by Alder and Cheren have a Jedi conversation with N that basically says things like you can turn from the Dark Side. N has a heart to heart with me, and then the credits.
