Arashi hummed "nice shot there." He stated as he recalled his Murkrow. "Now it's time for your final opponent. Go Dagger!"

A pokeball opened releasing a female Honedge that floated in the air

"Fury Cutter."

Dagger surged with Crimson Energy then came at the Shinx with a flying slash

---

Dagger used Fury Cutter (one use = 40 Base Power)

(Ability Activate No Guard, overrides accuracy and evasion checks on both pokemon.)

Dagger slashed the shiny Shinx with a crimson slash.

Arashi hummed "once Dagger gets going, it's very hard to make her stop, if your pokemon can stop her then you have won the Gym Battle"

[Samuel Brookes]

Samuel smiled at Arashi's words. "Thanks! Striker likes his flashy moves," he replied. Two down, one to go. Perhaps he really did have a chance at winning this!

Naturally, the second he thought that, Striker yowled as the Honedge's attack slashed his small body. The kitten Pokemon hissed and narrowed his eyes, waiting for the order. "Alright Striker, use Crunch!" Samuel ordered. The Shinx leapt forwards to crunch on the Honedge without any hesitation.

Shinx uses Crunch.
Crunch has a 20% chance of lowering the opponent's defence.

Arashi hummed as Dagger slashed the Shinx and you could see the red energy surging as she reached maximum power for Fury Cutter "she reaching maximum power." He warned

[Samuel Brookes]

Samuel bit his lip as Striker gave another pained yowl, watching his little kitten Pokémon beginning to shake with exhaustion. The Shinx wasn't used to such a difficult battle, but despite his exhaustion, he narrowed his eyes, clearly determined to keep fighting. "Hang in there Striker!" Samuel encouraged. "Use Crunch again!" Maybe it wasn't doing a lot of damage, but if he could weaken the Honedge, his final Pokémon would have a better chance. With a determined hiss, the Shinx leapt forwards to bite the Honedge again.

Arashi hummed as Dagger took out the Shinx. "You really got only one chance left, Samuel." Arashi stated "if Dagger manages to knock out your next pokemon which is highly possible with her at maximum power, it's game over, what is your final pokemon to be sent out?"

[Samuel Brookes]

Striker gave a pained yowl as he was struck, and Samuel quickly called back his Shinx. "You did great," he murmured to Striker's Poke Ball.

At Arashi's words, he gave a small smile. "I planned for this. Honedge is steel and ghost type, right? So my final Pokémon is Hunter!" He sent out his Houndour, who growled, ready for action. "Hunter, use Dark Pulse!"

The Houndour snarled, opening his mouth and firing a beam of black and purple at the Honedge, his eyes narrowed.

(Damage Calc determines an average of... *sees the low percentage at 132%* uh yeah... Knock out...)

---

Arashi hummed as his honedge took the dark pulse with a wail and was sent flying and she skidded like a disarmed sword along the ground.

Arashi chuckled "indeed you are right, Honedge is a Steel and Ghost and Dark Type moves are considered super effective against the mix because Steel no longer blocks both ghost and dark type attack." He recalled Dagger into her pokeball



"Battle Sequence Complete." Digit stated "victory to challenger. Level 1 Reward download."

A whirling sound was heard as the Bolt Dorm badge came out of a machine. It had what appeared to be a stylized G with a lightning bolt on it. It was marked with a 1.

Arashi took the badge and walked over to Samuel and held out the badge "it's my honor to give you this badge Samuel, proof of your victory against my level 1 team. Show this to the academy admins and you will receive from them the proper reward for your new rank. You can challenge my other level teams when you feel like it for additional experience slash practice but until you have the badges of three other dorms, This is the only badge you can receive from my dorm. Do let me know if I can be of any other assistance, I'm usually availible"

[Samuel Brookes]

A huge grin spread across Samuel's face as he realised he had won. "Great job, Hunter!" he called. His Houndour barked and ran over to him, jumping up excitedly for attention. Samuel was happy to oblige, rubbing his Pokémon's head fondly. To think that only a few days ago, Hunter had been a wild Pokémon, and had stubbornly refused to join Samuel until Blaze had kicked some sense into him. He had come a long way in such a short period of time.

Arashi's explanation about the Honedge's typing surprised Samuel. No longer blocks? So Steel had once blocked Dark type moves? He hadn't known that, so perhaps he was almost lucky to have won this battle.

As he took the badge from Arashi, he tried to contain his grin. "Thank you," he replied. Now he had to train his team and choose his next opponent! He could hardly wait.
