<p>After the draining experience which was the first round, bea's and sora's groups split up and rested a bit, drinking juice and snacking on some hamburgers.<br/><br/>The thirty-minutes seemed to have passed pretty quickly as the two teams walked up to the arena oak guided them to for the final.<br/><br/>"Since group-9 don't have more than three members, it'd be a 3-vs-3 instead of the previous format. Group-10 can only participate with any three of its members" said oak.<br/><br/>"Each of you will recieve a single pokemon depending on your individual performances. All of these are ridiculously powerful pokemon compared to the ones you all have handled before so be carefull, kids" added oak.<br/><br/>Without any doubt, tomiyasu and sora stepped up, but who was gonna be the third? Serena didn't care and satoshi and koharu kept insisting they'd be the ones.<br/><br/>In the end, koharu was voted to be the third member because satoshi is way too loud. Satoshi wasn't happy but couldn't do anything about it.<br/><br/>The whole arena was just like any other pokemon battleground. All of them received a pokeball and a piece of paper detailing the moves hailed by the pokemon.<br/><br/>"And now, may the battle begin!" said oak as all the parties involved called out their pokemon. There were quite a few interesting ones in the mix too.<br/><br/>"Seems like I got a...dragonite?" said a surprised sora as he gazed at the gallant dragon, not knowing the crazy pokemon the others got.<br/><br/>"Sora, seems like I got stuck with a haxorus..damn..." said tomiyasu as he was blown away completely by this. <br/><br/>"It's a...milotic, big brother" said koharu as her eyes layed upon the beautiful and majestic water serpent which contained crazy amounts of strength.<br/><br/>"It's a garchomp, huh? This might be fun now" said bea.<br/><br/>"Woah....a dragalge, I'll be making good use of it" said gloria.<br/><br/>"Boltund's amazing! I'll show you the power of galar" said victor.<br/><br/>"Good luck, muscle-bound girl and gloria.....we're gonna win this" said sora with strong intentions.<br/><br/>"You're quite overconfident for someone who's about to lose" said bea with pride.<br/><br/>Sora used his special ability to start assessing the pokemon infront of him. He looked at the garchomp and found out it had the sand-veil ability.<br/><br/>The dragalge had the poison-point ability while the boltund had strong jaw. Sora's dragonite had the inner-focus ability while tomiyasu's haxorus had mold-breaker along with koharu's milotic having marvel-scale.<br/><br/>The one thing sora found common in all of these pokemon was that all of them were level-50.<br/><br/>"Tomiyasu, I'll be having some shark, care to eat some dog-meat for me? Koharu, care to catch some toxic sea-horse steak?" said sora.<br/><br/>"That's a foul! You're only supposed to command your pokemon only, don't decide what your friends do" said oak.<br/><br/>"We're just talking about dinner. We're actually gonna host tomiyasu's family tonight after the win, old man oak" said sora.<br/><br/>"Kids nowadays are way too smart" said old man oak as he facepalmed.<br/><br/>"Garchomp, use dragon claw!" said bea as she jumped on to the offensive from the start.<br/><br/>"Dragonite, focus all of your strength into dodging" said sora as the dragonite did indeed dodge the attack.<br/><br/>"Scared? That seems funny....garchomp, use stone edge" said bea as the garchomp punched the ground to summon giant balls of stone to throw at dragonite.<br/><br/>"Use acrobatics and fly side-by-side through the stone edge hits" said sora as dragonite did so, skillfully evading all of its attacks while it closed in on it.<br/><br/>"Use dragon claw to smack it on the face" said bea as the garchomp started preparing a powerful dragon claw.<br/><br/>"Use acrobatics backwards and use dragon-dance afterwards" commanded sora as the dragonite simply backed off, making the garchomp miss as it set-up a dragon dance.<br/><br/>"I've caught up with garchomp's top speed now. Keep dragon-dancing bud'' said sora.<br/><br/>"Garchomp, keep using stone edge" said bea as the garchomp fired a flurry of strong stone edges at the dragonite, disrupting its dragon-dance move.<br/><br/>"As usual, fly through the shower of rocks" said sora carelessly as the dragonite once again came close to the garchomp.<br/><br/>"Garchomp, smack and an earthquake" said bea as the garchomp sneaked in from behind, hit a dragon claw to smack it onto the ground and used earthquake on it, taking 50% of hp from the dragonite.<br/><br/>This shocked sora deeply. Since this was more like a pokemon battle from the games, sora got carried away. He forgot that an irl battle keeps on moving and it isn't like chess at all.<br/><br/>"Dragonite, use fire punch on the ground near the garchomp using both of your hands" said sora.<br/><br/>Dragonite did as he said and absolutely boiled the ground, making the usually serious garchomp jump like a frog.<br/><br/>"Now, quickly close in with acrobatics and use dragon claw" said sora as his dragonite attacked the garchomp who was acting kinda goofy.<br/><br/>A clean-hit! Dragonite took 50% of garchomp's full hp, making bea realise how close this battle can be for them.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, victor and tomiyasu were going toe-to-toe with each other on every move. Victor admired both leon and his sister so he wanted to prove himself infront of them.<br/><br/>The battle had cost victor's boltund 40% damage while tomiyasu's haxorus lost 50% of its total hp due to strong-jaw ice-fangs.<br/><br/>"Boltund, two more ice-fangs and we've got this!'' said victor confidently as his boltund went for another ice-fang.<br/><br/>"Haxorus, jump and hit it with a dragon claw from above, if it dodges, use that" said tomiyasu who knew he had little room for error.<br/><br/>The boltund closed in a bit more as the haxorus jumped up, and tried to hit it from above while boltund dodged it, with a bit of distance from the haxorus.<br/><br/>Just when boltund and victor thought the attempt was over, haxorus started controlling the earth, using a rather formidable move called earthquake.<br/><br/>Boltund had no time to dodge it as it took 30% of it's full hp from that single hit. It was exactly what tomiyasu needed to turn the tides.<br/><br/>"Huff....Huff....you're plenty strong glasses guy! This might be a play which will decide how things will end for the two of us here" said victor with a face of excitement.<br/><br/>"Boltund, use the extra speed of wild charge in your feet and hit a final ice-fang" said added victor.<br/><br/>"Haxorus, just stand there.'That' is enough" said tomiyasu.<br/><br/>The boltund got closer and closer to the haxorus untill...it hit it, with ice fang. It had bit him on the neck as the two layed on the ground fighting.<br/><br/>That was untill haxorus moved its hands once again, signifying the use of earthquake, which he did use, absolutely slaughtering the poor boltund.<br/><br/>There it was, the first victory of the round. Victor, once again worked his ass-off but didn't have anything to show for it.<br/><br/>"Aahhhh! Why can't I ever be like my sister....I'm sorry" said victor in his moment of utter defeat.<br/><br/>Tomiyasu simply smiled, adjusting his glasses as he looked onto koharu's and sora's battles, understanding the fact that he had more to do.<br/><br/>______End of chapter no.8________<br/></p>
