Crystal Is Overpower

Fantina is surprised to see a Manaphy but she didn't expect any less from Julian, but seeing a Manaphy is not someone one can see every day.

Referee "Is the challenger ready?"

Julian "Yes"

Referee "Is the gym leader ready?"

Fantina "Yes"

Referee "Then let the battle begin"

The referee waved his hand and started the match.

Fantina "Duskull, use the Shadow"

Fantina went straight to the hide and hit strategy.

Julian "Manaphy, to the middle of the battlefield, then use Whirlpool"

Manaphy nodded and floated towards the middle of the battlefield and created a Whirlpool, the Whirlpool swirl creating a big water body.

Julian "Now blend in and cover the whole battlefield with water"

Manaphy suddenly disappeared from sight and the Whirlpool came crashing down on the ground, a crater formed and all the water went into it.

Now Manaphy could stay hidden without continuously using water moves to blend in.

Fantina didn't expect this at all, she never has seen someone turn the whole field upside down from the beginning of the battle.

Now it was just a game of waiting.

Fantina knew she has to make a move and so she decided to do so.

Fantina "Duskull use Curse"

Fantina made a big move, using Curse will lower Duskull's health but in return, as time passes the Pokemon that got cursed will slowly lose its health and faint.

Duskull sent out a purple shockwave across the whole battlefield, Curse is a move that cannot be dodged and Manaphy indeed got cursed.

But this left Duskull vulnerable and exposed.

Julian "Manaphy tray Duskull with a Whirlpool"

Manaphy still remained unseen and suddenly a big Whirlpool came in and trapped Duskull in it, Duskull couldn't get out and started to spin with the Whirlpool in the middle as it got dizzy.

Manaphy is also slowly losing its health due to the Curse but it can hang on for a few minutes and this is all Julian needs

Julian "Finish it with Water Pulse"

Manaphy suddenly appeared right above the Whirlpool and shot a powerful Water Pulse at the center of the Whirlpool where Duskull is trapped, the Water Pulse hits its target and with a huge explosion of a splash Duskull crashes on the ground as a large amount of water comes down behind it.

Duskull fainted.

Referee "Duskull is unable to battle Manaphy wins"

Manaphy wins the first round but it will soon succumb to the curse so Julian calls it back to its Pokeball.

Julian "I didn't expect one of my pokemons to be taken down"

He said, even though Manaphy didn't faint, Curse will still be taking place, Manaphy will faint inside its Pokeball but will come to return back to normal after a few hours.

As he expected Ghost-type is the most annoying type to deal with.

Fantina "I will take that as a compliment, now for my next pokemon, Go"

She said and tossed out another Pokeball and came out her next pokemon, Haunter.

Julian "Crystal you are up"

Julian said and Crystal popped its head out from his pocket and floated towards the middle of the battlefield and circled round and round in excitement, this will be Crystal's first official pokemon battle.

Fantina "What's that pokemon?"

She had never seen a pokemon like Crystal before so she doesn't know what it holds.

Fantina "Interesting, let's see what this little one holds"

She said and began by making the first move.

Fantina "Haunter use Shadow Punch"

Haunter went into the shadows and charged towards Crystal and got behind it, Crystal turned around as it senses Hunter, Hunter got surprised as Crystal noticed it but it still continued with its Shadow Punch.

As the attack landed Crystal just floated on the spot as nothing happened.

Julian "Thunderbolt"

Crystal giggled and shot out a powerful Thunderbolt electrocuting Haunter, Haunter backed off as it got chard by that Thunderbolt.

Julian "I forgot to tell, Crystal is a normal type pokemon"

Julian said and gave off this information as he wanted to know what Fantina would do now.

Fantina "I see, hehehe, nice one but I know how to take down normal type, Haunter use Sucker Punch"

Haunter charged towards Crystal once again using Sucker Punch with full power.

Julian "Crystal use Mimic"

Crystal looked at Haunter and saw the move it's using, suddenly Crystal's arm also got covered with dark energy and charged towards Haunter using Sucker Punch as well.

Too bad Mimic didn't teach Crystal a specific type of move, but it did give the understanding of how to use the move.

Crystal and Haunter clashed in midair with a bang and Crystal got the upper hand as Haunter is weak to dark type moves.

Julian "Now Thunderbolt"

As Haunter backed of Crystal once again used Thunderbolt and sent Haunter crashing on the ground.

Julian "Finish it, Thunderbolt this time full power"

Crystal mewed loudly and sent a powerful bolt of lightning towards Haunter and zapped it until it fainted.

Referee "Haunter is unable to battle. Crystal wins"

As Julian expected Crystal will be his most powerful pokemon compared to any pokemon he has, except Infernape when he is in his Omni form.
