Hi Wei! You have a great giveaway team! Sad to hear about the flood in your house, but good to see you're all positive. That's the way to do it!

We finally made it to the fiftieth match! We were against Battle Chatelaine Evelyn


She doesn't seem to be confident but we didn't let our guard down.


BATTLE!

My usual lead: Samson (my conkeldurr) and Cloudy (my whimsicott) were up against her legendary leads: Entei and Raikou.



We battled other legendaries before but they were quite different. Cloudy and I were kinda hoping for them to set up or anything we could encore, Entei Overheated and Raikou used thunderbolt against Cloudy who barely hanged on after overheat due to his focus sash. Samson Drain punched Raikou but it was not enough to bring it down. I chose Bijou (my Sylveon).



I ordered Bijou to use her hyper voice to finally KO Raikou while Samson Drain punched Entei. To our surprised, Entei used Iron head which brought Bijou to critical level. Evelyn chose Suicune. Samson mach punched the very low HP Entei but Evelyn called Entei back and switched in Latios. Suicune surfed and KO'ed Bijou. I was outplayed and didn't even expect a switch!



Ace was the only backup left and thought we could still do it. His ability could lower the damage from Suicune's Surf and they could KO Latios using Ice Punch and a boosted flamethrower. After that, Samson could just Mach punch the low hp Entei and Ace can Solarbeam Suicune.

After discussing the plan to the duo we went to attacked. Ace blew flame and brought Latios to Ice Punch KO range. We were so excited but there was something I forgot. It was all obvious in hindsight and it was an inexcusable mistake. Latios was faster than Samson! Latios Luster purged Samson, who was damaged from the previous opponents, and knocked him out. Suicune used Surf and barely damaged Ace as expected.

Ace was against three legendaries. We wanted to take advantage of the sun and went to use flamethrower against Latios hoping for a critical hit or a burn. Latios willed through our attack, and show his resiliency and recovered! Suicune surfed again. When Ace saw that I lost hope of winning, he went to connect a CRITICAL hit Solar beam against Suicune to knock it out. He showed his fighting spirit even if he knew about our inevitable defeat, he refused to go down without bringing a legendary down with him.



With a replenished hunger to win, after just a short rest, we went to challenge the Battle Maison again. We faced and defeated three people with legendaries on their team before even reaching Evelyn the second time.

Evelyn saw the fire in our eyes and was also pumped up, which is kinda surprising. Her cowardly appearance the last time we saw her was gone and replaced with enthusiasm that match ours.

We were prepared and careful this time around and what a heated battle it was! It was all a blur and before I know it we were both down to our last pokemons. It was Ace against Suicune. Ace, with half of his health left, looked at me and gave me a nod as if saying that he got this. He went with all his might and just as the previous match, he connected a CRITICAL hit Solar beam against Suicune! WE FINALLY DID IT!!!

We continued fighting for a few more matches since my team were still fired up, but after a while I decided that it's time for us to take a break. On our way out, we met Wally and was surprised by the statue near the staircase.



It was a reward for having the 50 streak! An odd guy, the one we previously met when we first arrived at the resort, interrupted however and he told us about some people going for longer streaks. 100? 200? Wow?! Can't wait to reach that too. But for now it's time to rest, and I heard there was a Christmas gift for us in the Pokemon Center from Maxsoft. I wonder what it is...
