"We beat Ash's Snorlax!" I couldn't help hugging Louise. "Come back and rest for now! Go, Swampert!"
Ash smiled, brimming with confidence too. "Even Snorlax lost! You're up next, Sceptile!"
These really were Ash's six strongest Pokémon! Fantastic! Now I didn't even know whether I could win, but battling Ash at his strongest would definitely prove my strength!
Still, Swampert was at an absolute disadvantage against Sceptile. I'd try to wear him down first! But Swampert didn't have any moves to counter Grass-types. What a headache.
"Swampert, use Scary Face first!" The move made him pull a hideous face to slow Sceptile down.
Ash immediately countered. "Sceptile, Agility!" Sceptile's speed increased again. "Swampert, use Muddy Water!" An enormous muddy surge swept toward Sceptile!
Ash and Sceptile exchanged a knowing look, and Sceptile leaped onto a rock. Was he using the rocks to move around? "Use Leaf Blade!"
I forced a smile. "Swampert, catch that Leaf Blade!" Swampert actually managed to catch the blade in his mouth!
"Use Waterfall at close range!" Water surged from his palms, shoving Sceptile away and injuring him.
Ash grew serious. "Sceptile, use Leaf Storm!" The Leaf Storm came on fiercely. It looked impossible to dodge. "Use Muddy Water!"

"Now I've lost one too." Ash decided to keep Sceptile out, while I decided to send in... "Go, Delphox!" Delphox took the field with fighting spirit blazing.
Show him the power of your Fire-type moves. "Use Fire Spin!" But Sceptile jumped
