And how could we forget that last insane match she had with Leon's rival, Hammerlocke Gym Leader, and overall superstar, Raihan! He tried to trip her up with his mastery of weather, but in the end, Fonsrgq's Mudsdale toppled the city-sized Duraludon with Max Quake!"
"None of us knew what to expect from Stow-On-Side's mysterious Leader, Allister. Something about Polteageist made our Challenger pause, but Fonsrgq fought on anyway! Her Diggersby weakened the terrifying Gengar with Max Flutterby, letting Claydol finish it off to secure the win!"
"The final day of the Champion Cup's about to wrap up folks, and we've seen unbelievable battles today! First, new Ballonlea Gym Leader, Bede, made an unexpected entrance to settle a score with Fonsrgq, but his fearsome Hatterene couldn't break through Unfezant's Max Steelspike!"
Marnie's not done yet. Her secret weapon's a hulking Grimmsnarl. Marnie looks Fonsrgq dead in the eyes and says "My bro may not use Gigantamax, but I don't plan on being so nice." As she & Grimmsnarl glow an ominous red, Grimmsnarl's hair grows & twists into a towering colossus.
Scrafty tries confusing Buttkins with Swagger, but she nimbly dodges the Hoodlum Pokémon & blows it away with Blizzard. Next is Toxicroak. Fonsrgq sends Griffon back in. Toxicroak attempts a deadly Toxic/Venoshock combo, but Griffon avoids Venoshock, taking out Toxicroak with Fly
Raihan's final Pokémon is Duraludon. Fonsrgq notices Breaking Swipe took a toll on Maya, so she switches for her Sandaconda, Copperhead. Raihan glows red & yells, "Now for the REAL show! Gigantamax!" Fonsrgq's ready this time. She matches Raihan's red aura with her own. Dynamax!
However, Buttkins survives the attack, still more than ready to fight. She may be Fonsrgq's smallest team member, but her heart is as large as any Dynamax Pokémon. One last Icy Wind to blow away Skuntank, and Fonsrgq has beaten the Spikemuth Gym Leader!
Piers's last Pokémon is Skuntank. Priya tries using Charm & Giga Drain, but Skuntank counters with Screech & Sucker Punch. Fonsrgq switches Priya for Buttkins. Skuntank surprises them by blasting Buttkins with a powerful Snarl!
Fonsrgq knows she needs a new strategy. She recalls Emma & chooses Priya. Priya uses Charm, lowering Obstagoon's Attack to near nothing. Next, she uses Toxic, poisoning Obstagoon to their core. Try as they might, Obstagoon can't fight back, and eventually succumbs to the poison.
I can't decide what to cross off the ol' "to read" list.
