Alistar stepped onto the field after wrangling the Wooloo, and took a look around him. It was certainly breathtaking, he'd always watched from the sidelines but now he was the one battling! His hopes were a little low for this battle, as two out of his three Pokemon were weak to grass types, so he'd just have to hope for the best. Milo stepped onto the field and greeted him before starting the battle off with his Gossifleur. Alistar sent out Sandile first, "You can have the first move," Milo told him.
"Alright Sandile, lets start this off with Rock Tomb!" Sandile opened up various portals in the sky above Gossifleur, and out of each one came a boulder sized rock. Gossifleur used Rapid Spin to counter, launching the rocks back at Sandile who dodged them with ease. "Gossifleur, Magical Leaf!" Milo's Gossifleur summoned a wave of leaves varying in color from dark green to purple, catching Sandile off guard and hitting him directly. Barely clinging on after the super effective hit, Sandile turned back to his trainer to signify he was OK. "Sandile, get behind Gossifleur and use Bite!" Sandile ran at Gossifleur, at the last second jumping over it and biting it square in the back sending it towards Alistar. "Alright, now Rock Tomb again!" Sandile once again used Rock Tomb as Gossifleur struggled to stand after the powerful blow it had just endured. Now buried in rocks from Rock Tomb, the flower Pokemon was struggling to do anything. "Now lets finish this off with Assurance!" Sandile dove into the rocks in which Gossifleur was buried to deliver his final blow, striking it directly and knocking it out. Cheering came from the spectators as it was revealed Gossifleur had fainted. "Great work Sandile! Now, return." Alistar said cheerfully while returning Sandile to it's Pokeball. If he could pull that off with Sandile, he had no doubt he could win this.
Next up was Milo's Eldegoss, his final Pokemon. Alistar knew what was coming, so he sent out Pawniard to deal with him. Alistar was yet to recieve a Dynamax Band, so this was the fight he was most nervous about. Milo returned Eldegoss and supercharged it's pokeball into the unmistakable Dynamax Ball, and threw it behind him to reveal his souped up Eldegoss. This would be a tough fight for sure, but he knew Pawniard would be able to do it. "Pawniard, Screech and then go in for Metal Claw!" Pawniard pulled off the Screech, harshly lowering Eldegoss' defense before going for the Metal Claw, before she could even get close however, she was hit with a powerful Max Strike by Milo's Pokemon, sending her flying back into wall behind Alistar and knocking her out immediately.
Alistar was awestruck at what just happened, returning Pawniard and sending out Oshawott. "Alright Oshawott, I believe in you buddy." He said to him, "Now, use Water Gun multiple times and try not to get too close!" Oshawott spat multiple spurts of water at Eldegoss, hitting them with ease thanks to it's large size. "Eldegoss, you know what to do!" Said Milo, Eldegoss began to use Max Overgrowth which would knock out Oshawott for sure if Alistar didn't think of something fast. Something clicked in his head at the last second, and he relayed his idea to Oshawott. "Use Razor Shell and swing wildly at the ground beneath you!" He said, Oshawott did just that, protecting himself from Eldegoss' attack by not even letting it grow. Alistar's heart was pounding now, surely it couldn't be much longer until Eldegoss was worn out. "Oshawott, use Aerial Ace!" Oshawott charged at Eldegoss, while simultaneously drawing power to his scalchop. Once again, Eldegoss went in for a Max Strike. "Quick, block it Oshawott!" Alistar said in desperation, this would definitely knock Oshawott out like it had Pawniard. Oshawott ceased it's attack and held it's scalchop up to it's face, the attack struck his shell but he was having trouble holding it. It looked for a second that he was about to break, until a blue light surrounded him and he began growing. Alistar looked on in awe, he was evolving! He finished his transformation, revealing the figure of a Dewott. He slashed Eldegoss' attack away with Aerial Ace before leaping onto it and began wailing on him with his fists. "You even learned Revenge!" Alistar said in excitement, and as soon as Dewott finished his attack, Eldegoss began to shrink, and revealed the form of a fainted Pokemon.
Cheers erupted from the people in the stadium and Alistar ran up to Dewott hugging him tightly. "We did it! Even with the type disadvantage, we worked around it!" He thanked Milo for the great battle after recieving his badge and ran out of the stadium and back into the lobby.
