Sinnoh Stories Day 10:
Champion Cynthia
We were nervous. We are in touching distance. A full team with only minor damage across the board. Can we do it? Will we be Champions?
Survivor has lived up to its name. Changes filled the void in our hearts left by Sunshine the Roselia. Venom was vital against Lucian. A role Zizu could never have filled. Pixie loving life away from Team Galactic. Sectivore from the fog has been superb. Last but certainly not least, Sony the Rotom who became our secret weapon in the Distortion World. I love them all in their own ways and we are one step away. Venom. You will lead us...
Venom did continue her good form. Badly poisoning Spiritomb twice, either side of a Full Restore. That usage might be vital with Garchomp at the back. Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball not Silver Wind could dent Venom's momentum. Then. Garchomp. Out second. Cynthia obviously feared Venom. A dragon Rush miss and Venom released her secret weapon... Ice Fang. Nooo! It wasn't enough!! Garchomp revenge earthquaked... Venom was its first victim. Pixie was next up. Filled with anger, she survived a Dragon Rush and an Ice Punch scared Cynthia into a switch. That was Pixie's end though.... Lucario resisted the Ice Punch, survived a Psychic and Shadow Ball turned Pixie into a Ghost. Sectivore fared no better. Taken out by a single Stone Edge. We'd lost three members and Cynthia just one. Changes scrapped past Lucario only to instantly fall to Togekiss. Changes had to sacrifice herself for the good of the team. Sony came out to destroy Togekiss and we had reduced the deficit to 4 losses to 3. Milotic was easy meat for Sony too and it was all square. Decpite being on red health at the start of the battle, Sony had taken out two. Milotic stupidly using Aqua ~Ring rather than taking Sony out. Garchomp returned and despite getting a Confuse Ray off, Sony fell. 5:4. Survivor.... you have been with me since the start. WE've loved, laughed and mourned together. The first and now the last. I believe in you. Garchomp Dragon Rush.... MISS! Now Survivor took full advantage. Goodbye Garchomp. Close Combat to end him. Cynthia had 1 left. Roserade. A fitting end to go up against Sunshine's ghost. FLAMETHROWER!!! Roserdae survived...... Shadow Ball...... through the Green Hp..... through the orange...... no. way. Survivor. Living up to his name for the thousandth time. 4HP remained. Sunshine was looking down on us. Burn Roserade up!!! Flamethrower!!!.
I can't believe it. Survivor was out on his feet. We've won. Start to Finish. Survivor has been by my side... Lv58 into the Hall of Fame. I'm no Champion. That title belongs to you Survivor. I bow to you.
We could never have done it without the sacrifices along the way.
