Chapter 176: A Wish for Victory
"AND GOLURK IS UNABLE TO BATTLE!"
"Damn... Golurk, return." Hilbert said as he recalled his latest pokemon to fall, leaving him only his starter while Brendan still had three more to choose from.
"Good job Shiftry!" Brendan meanwhile praised his pokemon.
"Shiftry shift!"
Hilbert couldn't help but feel exasperated by this.....unfortunate lineup. But this was no place to falter!
"You're our last hope! So go, Samurott!"
"ROOOOOOOOOTT!"
As it appeared, the imposing Samurott glared at it's opponent without a care for type advantages. They needed to win, so it would win!
"Shiftry, use Razor Leaf!"
"Shift!"
Immediatently Brendan began the attack by having Shiftry send a barrage of bladed leaves at Samurott.
"Use Surf to both defend and get close to it!" Hilbert ordered in response.
"Samurott!"
Samurott immediately summoned a massive amount of water that formed a wave and flooded the arena, washing away the Razor Leaf and carrying it towards Shiftry as Hilbert wanted.
"Shiftry, use Air Cutter!"
"Shiftry!"
The grass type pokemon quickly swung it's leafy hands at the rapidly approaching Samurott, creating numerous blades of wind that sliced through the air at it.
"Block them with your horn!"
"Sarott!"
*Clash!*
*Clash!*
*Clash!*
The sound of blades clashing echoed out as Samurott deflected each blade of air with the horn on it's head, before aiming said horn right at Shiftry.
"Now, finish this with Megahorn!" Hilbert commanded.
"Samurott!"
"Shiftry, use Harden!" Brendan quickly tried to counter, since the waves of Surf cut off any route of escape.
*CRASH!*
Samurott's Megahorn clashed against Shiftry as it struggled to resist the attack, but it was fruitless with the momentum of Surf behind Samurott adding to it. And with Shiftry possessing a four times weakness to bug type attacks like Megahorn, it went down HARD.
"SHIFTRY IS UNABLE TO BATTLE!"
"That's the way Samurott." Hilbert said as the waves began to settle down, allowing Samurott to return to the ground.
"You did well Shiftry." Brendan said as he recalled his pokemon, before grabbing another pokeball. "Let's finish this up, Manectric!"
"Manectric!"
What appeared was a four legged pokemon covered in blue and yellow fur that was spiked up as if it was filled with an electric charge.
"And now, let's kick this up a notch!" Brendan continued, revealing a band around his wrist that had a glimmering gem embedded in it.
"Oh? It looks as if Brendan is going to use Mega Evolution." Professor Oak stated with interest.
"Indeed. I can't wait to see how far he has come with using Mega Evolution." Steven said with equal interest, as he was the one to give Brendan his Keystone and first Mega Stone to begin with.
Manectric was enveloped in a sphere of multicolored light as it underwent Mega Evolution, before the sphere of light shattered to reveal that it now possessed a significantly larger mane of yellow fur down its entire body, which was sticking straight up in a manner resembling lightning bolts.
"MANECTRIIIIIIIIIIC!"
With a roar the air around the arena filled with the smell of ozone, while the majority of the spectators started to feel the hair on their arms and head stand up on end. Meanwhile Samurott began to feel uneasy as it was subjected to Manectric's Intimidate.
"Easy Samurott..." Hilbert said as he eyed the Mega Evolved Manectric warily. It was obvious Brendan intended to end this battle swiftly. "Start with Focus Energy!"
"Manectric, don't let them try and steal the momentum. Deal with Samurott right away with a Discharge!"
"MANE!"
Faster than should've been possible, Manectric unleashed a blast of electricity in every direction around it that left no place for Samurott to escape.
"Now use Smart Strike to hit the ground!" Hilbert quickly shifted gears, as this time Samurott's horn shimmered with steel type energy, before it buried it's horn into the ground.
"What is it doing?" Brendan muttered to himself, before Samurott was blasted by the powerful electric type attack. And nothing happened.
"What?!"
It wasn't too hard to understand why Brendan was stunned, as so was the majority of the people watching the battle as Samurott, a water type pokemon, was seemingly completely and utterly unfazed by the electric type move.
"It seems young Hilbert has realized that there is a way to deal with electric type attacks." Steven said with a bit of humor, already having long realized the same technique Hilbert had used. After all, he was a steel type user.
"Good job Samurott! Now use Blizzard!"
"Samurott!"
Immediately the statically charged atmosphere in the area was combated by an intensely cold wind, cold enough that snow and ice began to form as the winds buffeted Manectric. But under the howling of the winds, Hilbert was unable to hear what Brendan told his pokemon next, only seeing his mouth move.
Ignoring the biting-cold winds buffeting it, Manectric shot forward at Samurott as fast as lightning while dodging the flying chunks of snow and ice.
"Samurott, get out of there!" Hilbert tried to order, but it was too late.
"Manectric!"
With a cry, Manectric latched it's fangs onto Samurott's neck while using all of the electric power it was capable of, sending the current directly into it's body.
"Samurott!"
The pokemon cried out in pain from the attack, taking significantly more damage due to both Manectric's Mega Evolution, and the type advantage. And then, Samurott collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"SAMUROTT IS UNABLE TO BATTLE! MANECTRIC AND BRENDAN WIN!" One of the referees declared, signaling an end to the third match while Brendan joined Calem and Ace in moving on to the next round.
"Haaa.... I've never had a battle that intense." Hilbert said as he and Brendan shook hands in the middle of the arena.
"Me neither. I hope we can do it again some day."
"Always. I mean, how am I supposed to get stronger if I can't taste defeat every now and then?" Hilbert said jokingly, though his eyes said that he didn't intend to lose the next time they battled.
"WHAT AN 'ELECTRIFYING' MATCH! AND NOW WITH IT'S END, WE MOVE ON TO THE LAST BATTLE OF THE FIRST ROUND, LUCAS VERSUS VICTOOOOOOOOOR!"
The loudest cheers yet sounded as the final two contestants steped out onto the arena, one from Galar while the other was from Sinnoh.
"I don't intend to go easy on you Lucas." Victor stated as they took their places.
"That's funny. I was just about to say the same thing to you." Lucas said with a wry smile, before they both palmed their first pokeballs.
""I CHOOSE YOU-""
"Toxtricity!"
"Togekiss!"
"Interesting... It looks as if young Victor will seize the advantage right out of the gate." Steven said as he appraised the two pokemon before them, specifically their types. Being both poison and Electric type, Toxtricity had a significant advantage over the fairy/flying type Togakiss.
"Perhaps. But young Lucas doesn't seem too concerned. If anything, he almost looks relaxed." Professor Oak countered, right as the two trainers gave their first orders.
"Toxtricity, use Overdrive!"
"Togakiss, use Future Sight and then Extreme Speed!"
...
"Sounds like things are heating up." Brendan said as he glanced back at the arena, before turning his attention towards the mini Pokemon Center where his pokemon were being treated.
"Just two more..."
Brendan only had two more battles to get through, and then he would win the entire tournament. And once he did that, then he'd tell May how he felt.
Of course Brendan knew the greatest obstacle to both was Ace.
Not only did Ace have numerous powerful pokemon that he had yet to reveal, several of which were more than likely able to Mega Evolve as well, but he was also the person May was currently dating.
Normally stealing another man's girl would leave a sour taste in Brendan's mouth, but considering how many women Ace had following him around, Brendan didn't mind shooting his shot.
"Big bro!" A voice cried out, stirring Brendan from his thoughts as he looked up to see his little brother hurrying towards him.
"Max. How'd you like the battle?"
"It was incredible! I got so much data from it!" Max exclaimed as he pulled out his laptop, and showed the video he took of the battle between Brendan and Hilbert.
"Nice. And what about the battle between Ace and Marnie?"
"Of course! I analyzed the way that Ace and the pokemon he used battle! Now we can prepare counter-measures for if you face him in the next two rounds. I also recorded and started analyzing Calem's battle against Gary too!"
"I see. Good job little bro." Brendan said while ruffling Max's hair affectionately.
Of course, he knew that relying on data and such didn't matter much in pokemon batttles. The only data one could truly count on was which pokemon a trainer possessed, which still meant next to nothing when one had a battle. After all, trainers liked to switch things up all the time.
Either way, Brendan truly appreciated all of the effort Max went through for him. Even if the majority of the data usually proved useless, there was usualy some tidbit or two that actually did help Brendan every now and then, like a flaw in his own battling style.

"Ngh! Take it!" I groaned while stroking my cock, before a stream of white fluid erupted from the tip to shower Hilda and Rosa in cum.
""Iyaaaa!"" The two girls cried out gleefully as I covered their faces and chests in cum, avoiding their hair of course after a LOT of practice over two lifetimes. And after the last drop landed on Rosa's cute little nose, I was treated to an erotic show as the two cousins began to lick it all off of the other.
Even as the battles continued outside, there was a heavy fog of lust and debauchery inside my locker room as our orgy continued.
I watched as Hilda and Rosa sensually cleaned each other of the cum I had sprayed them with, licking and sucking each other's body in ways that no cousin ever should, before making out while smooshing their impressive busts together.
Then they got up from their kneeling position on the floor, and Hilda laid on her back on the bench while Rosa laid on top of her, rubbing their pussies together while looking back at me invitingly.
"Take your pick Ace~!" Rosa said as she reached back to spread her cheeks, while Hilda lifted her legs and spread them to allow me access to her own pussy as well.
"I would hate to refuse such an invitation~." I said while approaching them, mentally playing 'eenie meenie miny moe' to determine which of the four holes before me I was going to use first.
"Hyaaa!" Hilda cried out as I speared her pussy without warning, plunging my entire length into her at once while also making sure to hit her g-spot.
"Ohhh~!" Rosa practically purred meanwhile, as I buried my fingers into her cunt while my thumb went into her chocolate Staryu.
I hammered Hilda in her tight little hole to make her cry out over and over again, while simultaneously massaging both of Rosa's holes to make her moan while grinding her butt into my hand.
I could feel more than a few jealous looks being thrown our way, but I just ignored them for the moment. Everyone would get their turn before we finished.
And just when I could tell Hilda was on the verge of climax, I pulled out of her while also pulling my fingers out of Rosa.
"Yesssss!" Rosa hissed as I filled her cunt with my cock this time, leaving my thumb in her ass as I began to fuck her with enough force that my balls were slapping against Hilda's pussy. And this time I also rached down with my other hand to caress Hilda's ass, before burying my middle finger inside of it.
I kept this up for a few minutes, finger fucking both girl's asses while taking turns actually fucking them with my cock, pulling out each time I could feel them nearing their climaxes to prolong the pleasure. And it was only when I felt the tell-tale pressure building within my balls that I finally allowed them to cum.
Using both my aura and fingers to trigger their climaxes, I pulled my cock out of Rosa's cunt this time and thrust forward so that I was sandwiched between both hot pussies as I came once again. Except this time I was spraying their bellies instead of their faces.
""HYAAAA~!""
"Ngh!"
I grunted my climax while both girls cried out, their pussies and assholes both spasming and tightening as they refused to release my fingers. At least until their finished with their own climax.
As the final wave of pleasure left their body, both girls went limp as they panted and tried to catch their breaths.
I then glanced around the room to decide who my next 'victim' would be, while also simultaneously glancing at the tv on the wall.
"So Brendan won this time..." I mused as his image joined mine and Calem's, leaving only Victor and Lucas as the two of them battled for the final spot in the semifinals.
Though I was curious about both of their teams, I paid more attention to Victor than I did Lucas, primarily because I was so unfamiliar with Galarian pokemon. I also recalled that, while he was considered one of professor Magnolia's aides, Victor along with Gloria and Hop were all being sponsored for the Galarian League by the latter's brother, the current League Champion from that region, Leon.
For a second I wondered what kind of person Leon was, as all I realy heard was endless praise from his brother, Hop, as well as the common opinion that he was the strongest trainer in the world. A baseless claim considering there are no official world rankings, and one I doubted simply because of all the trainers that stayed out of the limelight, like professor Oak.
"Ace~."
A siren call pulled me out of my temporary musings, as I directed my attention over to May as she placed her hands on the bench, and wiggled her tight little ass at me invitingly.
And naturally, I readily accepted such an inticing invitation.
***
Meanwhile...
"Keep it up buddy, we're almost there!" Declared a young man who was riding atop his starter and strongest pokemon, a Charizard.
The man had tanned skin, dark purple hair, and had a cape billowing in the wind behind him as the duo flew over the open ocean. He was of course, Leon.
Unfortunately Leon had been unable to board the SS. Anne when it was docked in Galar due to some business that had required his attention. Now however, his business was concluded so he could go and surprise his little brother, along with his friends, Victor and Gloria.
Leon had even heard that Victor managed to make it into the final eight contestants of the Inter-League Tournament, which was a huge deal since literally hundreds of trainers were competing in it.
Now he just needed to find the SS. Anne...
Well, the ship was on the ocean, and Leon had been flying over the ocean for a while now on Charizard. So that meant they must be getting close by now, right?
Soon Leon spied land on the horizon, making him excited as he said to his Charizard, "look buddy! That must be the Kanto region! Told you we were almost there!"
"Char!" His Charizard roared as he picked up the pace, eager for a chance to land and rest for a while.
Soon the duo touched down on the beach, letting Charizard rest for the first time in a while while Leon dismounted him and looked around at what he was sure was the Kanto region. Surprisingly, the Kanto region was pretty tropical.
"Alola!" Cried out a voice, drawing Leon's attention to a man hurrying towards them on the beach.
"Hello there!" Leon called back with a wide smile, hoping he could ask this person for directions regarding where the SS. Anne was. Now that he was in Kanto, all he needed to do was search the seas in this area.
Leon was even more surprised when he recognized the person approaching them. Yes, he may be more tanned than the pictures he'd seen before, and had significantly longer hair, but the person approaching them was undoubtedly the world-famous professor Oak!
"Hello professor Oak! It's an honor to meet you!" Leon called out as the man arrived.
"Hm? Professor?" The man asked in confusion upon arriving before them, before realization dawned on him. "You must have me confused with my cousin, Samuel Oak. I'm Samson Oak, the principal of the pokemon school here in Alola."
"..."
"Alola?!" Leon exclaimed in shock, never once even imagining that he had ended up somewhere other than Kanto.
Someone who was NOT surprised though, was Charizard, since this was a pretty common occurrence for the two of them.
So, while Leon freaked out about being in the wrong region, and tried to figure out how to get to Kanto from here, Charizard decided to lay down in the nice, hot sand, and take a nap while it could.
