"In the beginning...there was an idea. An idea by a Japanese man named Satoshi Tajiri, "What if we could catch animals and play with about 151 of them?". This idea sparked a revolution, leading to the creation of this amazing franchise we call Pokemon. It sparked in us a sense of community, gave us a route to have fun, and most importantly funnel our competitive spirits.
This Idea manifested itself in Smogon, the community we have a love-hate relationship with. Through the ages, we have had multiple champions, from the iconic Blunder, to the dominant Empo, to the powerful Stormzone.
But in all this, was a little adventure, an adventure of 2 skilled trainers. Both players having Aces which were fighting types. These skilled trainers are...
DD Joe, the player with the sneaky Toxicroak. He faced incredible odds to make it to the Finals playing powerful players like Hxmo, Spoontech, and Sol. He led his team aided by his trusty lieutenant, his Toxicroak to secure fabulous victories showing himself to be one of his majesty's finest. Beautiful Playmaking, Indominable Will, and Ruthless Aggression. He is now one step away from securing his crown as the "Master of SS RU", set in his homeland of Galar.
However, one man stands in his way. The man with a plan luuanfps, with his brutal Bewear. Playing tour veterans like OranBerryBlissey, Fraxxn, and Runo he proved his worth and skill. Coming from Brazil, he seeks to prove that he can win anywhere and aims to conquer Galar's RU Tier to showcase his bond with his brother-in-arms, Bewear. Brutal Planning, a Warrior's Spirit, and Mental Fortitude. He looks to leave a mark and prove that he belongs in this proud echelon to top players and look to secure his crown as the "Master of SS RU".
Now these two fantastic trainers have their chance to face off against each other, worthy foes with one goal in mind, WINNING. So without further ado gentlemen, it is TIME TO MEET.
They say it took God about 7 days to make the universe, similarly here in SS RU we take 7 weeks to crown a Pokemon Master. So who will it be? The Trainer with the Bewear, or the Trainer with the Toxicroak? Find out on Fight Night this week."
