#41. Haley, Vegas Dracula and The Novelist

_{Music: Unova Pokémon League}

them all, you can challenge the Champion!"
One of them had to be able to beat Zekrom, surely.

Shoot, I got this.

Right. Let's do this.

_{Choro Notes: Unova's Pokémon League does something different from all of the others: you can challenge the Elite Four in any order you want! It's pretty much an all-positive change really.}

Shall we, then?

Uh huh.

Yup.

We get it.

. . .

Great.

Oh. Oh that's not good.

. . . Grimsley.

_{Music: Battle! Unova Elite Four}

_{Choro Notes: Grimsley

The entire basis for Grimsley's design is "Dracula but also with some Gambling mixed in." I honestly feel like he has one of the worst names in the series. He's the son of what was once a distinguished family. He has a compulsion towards gambling. His Japanese name is Giima while he's Pieris in French, Astor in German and Mirton for our Italian friends.}

Right. We've seen plenty of these!

ARE YOU MESSING WITH US?

It's a dragon!

Crap.

Sure!

Stupid sand! Sand all in eyes!

Show me something I haven't seen!

You aren't really scaring her! _{Don't let that thing scare you.}

_{Choro Notes: Foul Play is a physical Dark-type move. The twist? To calculate the damage it uses the target's attack stat. . . that it just lowered with Intimidate.}

Shakes, just dance your cares away!

_{Choro Notes: Bisharp is the evolved form of Pawniard. All of the same types, all of the weaknesses.}

We can keep this up!

Oh dang, well.

OK GEARTIE, YOU CAN STOP NOW.
_{Choro Notes: The Bisharp is just out of range where Grimsley won't use a Full Restore. The thing is I have no way to KO it in a go without a critical hit. There's a source of damage I have that is a sure thing, though!}

I suppose that was worth it. _{Sorry Ginger}

Haha, a Liepard? Man, I can beat those up all day.

Fine with me!

_{Choro Notes: I knew Liepard had this. Fake Out is basically a free-go. It can only be used the turn the user enters the field and always causes the target to flinch.}

. . . WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!

ALRIGHT HANSEL, HUG THE LIFE OUTTA IT!

. . . damn.

Slash my bug, will you?!

_{Music: Victory over a Gym Leader - Black/White}

when experiencing a loss."

I see, I see. Did you say this to N, too? Time might be a factor here.

on you—none of that matters."
"Unless you're me, luck matters for me."

Great. Good fight. Gotta go!

Hmm . . .

This one'll work.

. . . are they all going to be dark and spooky?

. . . are they all going to be spinning around a thing?

. . . is that a collar?

SHE'S POSSESSED, GET HER.

here, and somehow I got a little sad . . . "
THAT'S not good either!

WHAT'S MAKING THAT LIGHTNING?

shall be your opponent."

_{Music: Battle! Unova Elite Four}

_{Choro Notes: Shauntal

Shauntal the Ghost-type trainer is a novelist. That's. . . about it. Her Japanese name is Shikimi while she's Anis, Anissa and Antemia to our French, German and Italian friends respectively.}
