"Froslass, use Hail!" Thanks to her Snow Cloak Ability, Froslass kept vanishing and reappearing in front of Amaura.
Braixen looked a little strained. Stay calm. "Come on, Braixen! Find Froslass and use Flamethrower!" The hail pelted Braixen, but only did a little damage. Froslass was relatively slow, but unfortunately, Normal-type moves couldn't hit Ghost-types, so I could only fight back with Fire-type moves.
She disappeared again! "Ice Beam!" Braixen was frozen solid. "Break free, Braixen!" Cracks spread across the ice, and Braixen burst out. "Not bad," Paul said through gritted teeth.
I spotted Froslass's reflection in the hail. Braixen had taken a little damage too, so I had her keep her distance. I couldn't help smiling. "Braixen, one o'clock! Flamethrower!" The flames engulfed the hidden Froslass. She fell to the ground, unable to battle.
Next, Paul sent out his powerful Drapion, who grabbed my Braixen and knocked her out with Pin Missile. I sent out Amaura next. Amaura only managed to inflict a little damage before falling to Pin Missile as well. Toxic Spikes had also been scattered across the ground, so I sent out Heatran, who couldn't be poisoned. (Steel-types were immune to poison.)
Paul responded by sending out Electivire. At first, my Heatran fought on even terms. "Electivire, grab him with your tails and use Thunder Punch!" Just like that, because Heatran was too slow, Bolt Strike finally landed a direct hit and defeated him!
Finally, my Mega Lucario took the field, locked in a fierce battle with Paul's Electivire. Just as Electivire tried to grab her, I shouted, "Hit back with Power-Up Punch!" Lucario kept strengthening her fists until one final punch sent Electivire flying.
"Still within expectations." Paul was still talking tough. "After losing to that guy, I'm never losing again!"
I refused to back down.
