Todays finally the day... Where I finally travel through Victory Road, and head to the Pokémon League! My Birthday party last night was a ton of fun, but break time is over, so now it's time to continue my route to become champion! But first things first, me and Blue had planned to meet on Route 22 this morning to have a Pokémon battle, so we could see who's really ready to take on the Pokémon League.. Which I'm actually super hyped for!! Me and Blue haven't battled in a while, and I'm ready to show him how strong I've become! Ever since he helped me and Leaf take down Team Rocket, I feel like we've been getting along better, so it feels a lot more fun being around him! Maybe after this we could put our rival past behind us and become friends? I don't know, I guess we'll just have to wait and see!
After quickly getting up early this morning, I made my way out of Pallet Town, and over to Route 22, where of course I saw Blue waiting for me. Blue quickly noticed me, waving to me as I ran over to him.
"Heya, Sam! Glad you're here early!" Blue says, smiling. "Ready to get your butt kicked?"
"As if! I've been training a lot lately, so they only one who's gonna get your butt kicked is you!" I confidently remark, Blue chuckling in response.
"Yeah, sure you will... I'll believe it when I see it."

Sam: "Use Horn Drill!!"
Nidoking charged at Pidgeot, but the attack missed.
Blue: "Use Wing Attack!"
Sam: "Use Strength!"
Blue: "Again, use Wing Attack!"
Sam: "Try again! Use Horn Drill!"
I got lucky and Horn Drill landed this time, instantly knocking out Pidgeot.
Blue: "Go, Alakazam! Use Psychic!!"
Sam: "Use Earthquake, quick!"
Before Nidoking could attack, Alakazam landed the psychic attack, knocking him out.
Sam: "Let's go, Venusaur! Use Toxic!"
Blue: "Use Calm Mind, Alakazam!"
Sam: "Now, use Body Slam!"
Blue: "Use Future Sight!"
Sam: "Body Slam, again!!"
Blue: "Use Psychic!"
Alakazam's Psychic did a ton of damage, knocking Venusaur out with one hit. I could tell that the combination of Venusaur's poison and attacks were making Alakazam pretty weak though...
Sam: "Let's go Charizard! Quickly, use Fly!"
Alakazam couldn't attack due to Charizard being in the air... Charizard quickly landed his Fly attack next turn, the combination of it and the poison knocking out Alakazam. However, the Future Sight attack finally hit Charizard, not knocking him out, but still doing a lot of damage.
Blue: "Go, Gyarados! Use Hydro Pump!"
Sam: "Dodge it and use Fly!"
Luckily Charizard dodged the attack in time, quickly landing his Fly attack the next turn.
Blue: "Again! Hydro Pump!!"
However, this time Gyarados' attack landed, knocking out Charizard.
Sam: "You've got this, Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu's attack did a ton of damage, knocking out Gyarados before it could do anything else.
Blue: "Alright... Let's go Rhyhorn! Use Horn Drill!!"
Sam: "Dodge it, Pikachu! And use Slam!"
Blue: "Again, Horn Drill!!"
Unluckily for me, this time the Horn Drill landed, knocking out Pikachu. Dangit, I only have two Pokémon left...
Sam: "You've got this, Blastoise! Use Surf!!"
Blue: "Use Take Down!"
Blue's Rhyhorn landed his attack, but Blastoise's attack quickly knocked out Rhyhorn, also combining with the recoil from Rhyhorn's attack.
Blue: "Go, Growlithe! Use Take Down!!"
Sam: "Again, Blastoise! Use Surf!!"
Similarly to Rhyhorn, the combination of Blastoise's Surf and Growlithe's attack recoil quickly knocked Growlithe out. Yes, now I'm close to winning. But...
Blue: "Go, Umbreon! Use Shadow Ball!!"
Sam: "Use Ice Beam, Blastoise!"
Blue: "Now, use Dark Pulse!"
Before Blastoise could land another attack, Umbreon's attack quickly knocked him out. Alright, it's up to you now Wigglytuff...
Sam: "You've got this, Wigglytuff! Use Tri Attack!!"
Blue: "Use Dark Pulse!!"
Sam: "Again, Tri Attack!!"
Blue: "Use Faint Attack!!"
Both Pokémon were getting pretty weak now...
Sam: "Finish em off, Wigglytuff! Use Mega Punch!!"
Blue: "Use Hyper Beam!!"
Both Pokémon unleashed both their attacks at one another, the combined force of both attacks creating a cloud of smoke... And when the smoke dissipated...
...Both Pokémon were knocked out.

"...What?!" Me and Blue both stared at one another, mouths agape as we returned our Pokémon back to our balls. "What... Wait, does this mean we've both lost... Or both won?"
Blue didn't respond to my question, only shrugging as he took a few steps closer to me. "Whatever... You know what, Sam? The outcome of this battle doesn't matter..." Blue says, smirking. "This still means I'm ready for the Pokémon League, and I'm still gonna become the champion of the Kanto region! Now if you'll excuse me... I need to head off to Victory Road."
