Round 1
This battle begins with a rather interesting matchup: The Gym Leader sent out Nimbus, his trusted
Cyclohm with an
Expert Belt. For interesting trivia, Nimbus was the first pokemon sent out by the Gym Leader in 5 of the 8 completed battles and was used in 7 of them, making it the pokemon he used the most thus far.
To face it, the Challenger Texas Cloverleaf sends out Sucker the
Colossoil was with an
Expert Belt. Previously owned by the ex-Gym Leader Korski, that Colossoil is very dangerous if used properly. I wonder if that will happen here.
Either way, let the battle commence!
On the first turn Sucker the Colossoil greets Nimbus by making the ground shake with a powerful
Earthquake. The Sandy Terrain made it lose a little bit of steam, but it still packs an enourmous punch! But the Cyclohm takes it pretty well, considering what it has in store for its foe. Nimbus runs to the water and
surfs on the biggest wave it could form, a wave that, a couple seconds later, crashed on Sucker for intense damage, cortesy of our lovely rain.
Behind on the damage department, Sucker tries a different approach as it tries to flinch Nimbus with a
Fake Out. Unfortunately Shield Dust blocks that, so it was kind of an useless move. Bummer. And, as the cruel pokemon it is, Nimbus seizes the opportunity to open a great distance in the damage race by using the rain to fuel a highly powered
Weather Ball, that also damaged Sucker greatly.
Finally on the last turn, we all have a nice deja vu, as Colossoil attacks with
Earthquake and Cyclohm counters with
Surf, dealing, once again, more damage.
The first round ends with the Gym Leader having a significant advantage. I guess a good movepool, strategy and a favourable arena can go a loooong way.
