Round 7!
And now we enter the final stretch of this match! This may or may not be the final round!
Helm begins this round by attacking the Druddigon with a very strong Shadow Claw. Druddigon preferred not to counterattack and simply set up with Double Team, getting 4 clones up.
It seems that luck will become a factor here.
The Leader orders another attack and Helm does so, but it hit a clone! Druddigon uses the opportunity to get rid of that substitute with Incinerate.
Finally, Aegislash tried to attack once more with Flash Cannon, but I guess hax wants this to last a bit longer, and a clone was hit! Druddigon then deliver what could be a good-bye kiss in the form of a Flamethrower + Hyper Beam combo, for great damage! Not enough to KO, but still great damage.
But the Druddigon is now easy prey for Helm. This battle is pretty much over. Let's just wait for ghost fat lady to sing the final orders to be given.
Challenger Texas Cloverleaf is out of useable pokemon!
Leader Zarator is the winner!

(yes I know drudd dealt more damage, but sableye grabbed a fuckton of momentum for the leader, and a third of drudd's damage was due to a "last-ditch-won't-change-results-combo" so yeah)

It's important to be tough and resilient when you battle, don't you think? You have to accept that both sides will get hurt. You have to understand that the pain of losing is a natural outcome. If you just focus on winning, you can forget that the bond between you and your Pokémon is the most important thing. I try to focus on that bond in my novels. I want them to be full of heart and soul!
