I'm not overvaluing the stakes, she went to a mid-level tournament and expected an easy sweep, you could attribute apathetic indifference to what she's doing at best, she was basically showing off.
To be fair, Focus Wobbufett is a perfect counter to a lot of Pokemon. Like, anything with a single, powerful attack. It's literally designed to be a counter to basically any strong Pokemon, at the cost of being useless after that. Perfect for taking out an opponent's Ace, or some unexpected threat you can't handle otherwise. It's not exactly a wierd choice to keep on hand for an emergency resort.
I know but you have to admit that kind of thing is something you never see in a tournament of this level.
I always assume the 3rd place winner is decided through a small, provisional 1 vs. 1 match or both semi-finalists share 3rd place.
Big oof for the poor protagonist boy, he wasn't born in a softer Pokeverse.
Oh. Now I see why you said that the issue wasn't of training. Doesn't this make the 'Mon a kind of berserker then like from Fate with their Madness Enhancement where they are tougher but have less mental facilities? I'm guessing Amnesia as a Psychic type move with its own effect of increasing special defenses and its implied effect causes any recovery via a well trained psychic to be ineffective or too rare to ever give the Pokémon a chance at recovery. Either way I'm still curious to see how this tale of trainers and Quagsire plays out even if the tale is son coming to an end. Great work as always!
I imagine anyone who made it far enough to be in consideration for third and fourth has a fully fainted team (or pokemon too weak to be used). If not, they'd probably have gotten first.
An assassin fearow that only goes for single targets every few years is probably impractically difficult to find
I don't know the character personally, so take this with a grain of salt, but I'd suspect he was removed much more subtly then a battle. Poison would be my guess, something slow acting, slip it into their food and have them pass quietly in their sleep, possibly days latter. Nothing for the pokapals to react to, and if you have someone in the coroners office no sign that any foul play took place at all.
The Alpha Fearow is probably very intelligent if she manage to evade the Rangers presumably numerous attempts to hunt her down. This question, is she prideful enough to respond to Grundy's "alpha call" challenge and put the younger Alpha in his place or smart enough to ignore him entirely knowing it is another attempt at hunting her and considers Grundy beneath her to worth any effort.
Rip protag-chan. I wonder if this i because of Mc implication in multiple base or just this world being way more dangerous :/ TFTC!
Nope, having the badge cause the leader acknowledged your battling skills is leagues better than getting it for all the stupid reasons ash did (didn't he get Sabrina's badge cause he made her laugh? That had to be one of the most idiotic ways to get a badge).
Holy shit does she sound like a pretentious bitch. If anything Bradley's loss shows that he can be trusted with an alpha since he would rather lose than risk seriously harming the opponent. Actually she should be glad that the alpha did not end up like Cassie (grundy is certainly strong/bloodthirsty enough).
I would love to see a rematch, especially if it is in a more high stakes tournament.
Glad to see that even in the pokemon world company greed is a constant.
Not to be a corpo shill or anything, but we have no idea what the per-unit-profit is on TMs. The thing we do know is that total volume of produced units was dropped to a third of what it was, meaning the number of workers employed making them? Also massively cut. Probably not to a third of the previous employees, there's other jobs on a factory than just production and training someone for something different but related is easier than training someone new, but still massive layoffs. In addition given that new prices are twice the old one, but for three times the older effect? Effective profits are 2/3s of old ones. Which means that gets passed onto the workers again. Factories don't usually have a huge per-unit-profit you know? Even for stuff like this.
I think a grunt before was also talking about Team Flare.
