So, on my side we have two Pokémons on yellow HP Bar, while on the opposite they have one red and one green HP Bar.
Yup, I can imagine it that way.
"Shion, Fairy Wind again!"
Wooo xiieeeee~!!!!!
My Wooxie let out a battle cry as she throws another pink breeze of wind towards the Makuhita.
"I won't let it happen! Totopi, use Ancient Power on that wood Pokémon!" Sekai tries to interrupt my attack with her own special.
"Toto-dile!"
Totopi let out a roar as it charged up an ancient energy before shooting it to clash against Shion's Fairy Wind.
If both Pokémon have the same power, the Ancient Power which have 60 Power in game would win against Fairy Wind that only have 40 Power.
However, Shion's Fairy Wind have a STAB Bonus while Totopi's Ancient Power did not.
The Fairy Wind managed to goes through the Ancient Power, the little amount of attack power it gave left deals a slight damage to the Totodile.
"Makuta, use Bullet Punch!"
The Makuhita that hides behind the Totodile immediately sprung up upon hearing Makoto's command.
Makuta runs up to Shion with the speed of a bullet to hit my Grass Pokémon.
But it is suddenly floored by a shot of Shadow Ball that is already prepared by Kasumi at the same time when Shion shot her Fairy Wind.
The Makuhita this time is fainted for good, it is not raising up again like before.
Makoto returned his Makuhita back to the pokeball.
Now it is only a single Totodile left as our opponent.
The battle continue as Sekai refused to surrender even though her Totopi are ganged up by both Shion and Kasumi.
Shion took her sweet time using Bullet Seed and then Vine Whip after Kasumi Disabled Totopi's Ancient Power and then followed it up by using Sand Tomb to give a proper "burial" to her enemy.
The poor Totodile that have two of its most powerful moves sealed leaving only Scratch and Water Gun as its only attacks are buried alive under the pile of sand.
The "tomb" didn't make a single movement and the jury is about to declare our win when the pile of sand is suddenly blasted out with a ball of light coming up from below it.
∑( ° Д ° \;)
As someone who have watched Pokémon anime since its first episode airing in my country on Saturday Night, March 3rd 2001, I am very very familiar with that light of evolution.
And not only me, everyone, be it spectators and participants alike, are looking at the ball of light in anticipation.
If I want to, I can end this fight immediately by shooting at the light cocoon of evolution and bag my win.
However, if I do that, I would surely earned the hate and rage from the mass by doing such an unsportive thing.
So I decided to just look out until the process of evolution is over and strike as quickly with my Pokémon.
By the way, of course I already have my Pokédex standby on my hand, ready to scan the Croconaw that will come out from the Totodile's evolution and record its data on the Pokédex.
The light of evolution is scattered and the small bipedal blue crocodile has evolved to become a slightly bigger crocodile thay looks like it is wearing something like a caveman outfit.
🐊
[Croconaw, the Big Jaw Pokémon, is a Water Type Pokémon]
[Once Croconaw has clamped its jaws on its foe, it will absolutely not let it go. Because the tips of its fangs are forked back like barbed fishhooks, they become impossible to remove when they have sunk in. If it loses a fang, a new one will quickly grows back in its place. There are always 48 fangs lining its mouth.]
[This Croconaw have the ability Sheer Force, and it knows the move Ancient Power, Leer, Scratch, Water Gun, Bite, Scary Face, Fake Tears and Dragon Claw.]
Nani!? !!???(°ー°〃)
What? Why? How can it suddenly learn a TM Move Dragon Claw out of nowhere!?
Did the Croconaw have a draconic bloodline in its veins that is awakened on evolution when it is in a desperate moment to have another offensive moves after all the other useful ones it have has already been sealed by Kasumi's Disable?
This kind of plot development make me want to question the reality in front of me.
Sekai, are you the protagonist, or am I the protagonist?
"Croco-Naw~!!!!"
The Croconaw let out a loud roar as it began to use its newly learned move.
A purplish red draconic energy started to gather and enveloped its claws, the Croconaw then launched itself towards Shion while brandishing its Dragon Claw!
"Shion, Quick Dodge!" I hurriedly commanded Shion to move out and evade the attack by utilising the speed granted by Quick Attack.
Booommmm!!!!
The ground on the battle arena cracked as a cloud of dust raised up high in the air, showing off the tyrannical might of the newly evolved Croconaw.
"GHOST STEAM!"
Kasumi howled as she gathered a gray mist energy on her steamy hands before she throw her third Disable to the Croconaw.
"Naw? Croco Naw?"
The Croconaw looked confused as it suddenly can't channel any more draconic energy on its claws.
Mwahahahhahahahhahahaha! So what if you can use a new move, Kasumi can still Disable you again and again!
Shion who have just gotten out in the safe range have started to shot out her STAB and Super Effective Move Bullet Seed again.
And Kasumi also didn't idle around either after she disabled the Croconaw's latest move.
She throw her STAB move Shadow Ball that felled the Croconaw down to the ground, this time it is really getting KO'd.
The battle ends with our win announced by the jury, and then we proceed to receive the rewards from winning the Tournament, an additional 10,000 pokedollars each added to our accounts.
As we both are walking out together from the Duel Dome, I have prepared a pleasant surprise for Kotonoha.
"Onee-chan! Onii-chan! Congratulations for the win~" waiting for us in front of the door is Kotonoha's little sister Kokoro who immediately run over to us and hugging me instead of her Big Sister.
"Huh? Kokoro? Why are you in here?" Kotonoha is surprised to see her little sister is already awaiting for us outside the Duel Dome.
"Well.... You know, Onee-chan? I have watched every single one of your battles today. You are amazing, Onee-chan! You can take down everyone with only one Pokémon. Sugoi, sugoi~!" Kokoro said energetically to her Big Sister Kotonoha while still clinging on the side of my waist like a Koala.
Awwww.... Since you are acting so sweet and cute, let me give you a headpat as your reward.
Kokoro let out a small, enjoyable squeal as she tightened her arms around my waist.
Girls really do like headpats, huh?
Oh, by the way, this is also a part of my plan to groom confidences and a sense of self worth on Kotonoha.
By having a close family member who admired her and in turn would give her some mental support, I hope that this will help Kotonoha to break out from the shadows of her past.
And so, after we both have registered for today's tournament, I sneakily call her house behind her back to prepare for a big surprise.
As luck would have it, the one who answered my pokegear call is Kokoro herself, her Mom Manami are still busy having some talks with the neighbors next door (you know lah, neighborhood mothers afternoon gossiping, ahem, I mean, tea time meeting together).
And so, I make an arrangement with Kokoro who knows about her big sister's grim situation.
The caring little sister who is always worried about her big sister for having no social life and often get gloomy alone by herself jumped in with excitement when she heard my plan to groom up her big sister's confidence and self awareness.
She enthusiastically wants to offer her assistance, to the point that she is even about to use her own saving money to book the ticket online to watch her dear sister on the tournament live.

[ ] Author's Note [ ]
And yeah, Disable is quite overpowered here, especially in Tournament Battles. Is there anybody here who also like to use Disable when they are playing Pokémon games?
By the way, I don't plan to let MC use his Pokémon's combination moves unless it is really necessary as I left it as trump cards for when they are in a critical situation or for important battles like Gym Battles and Official League Tournament.
