PS35: Nessa, a Real Water-Type Expert!

PS35 (Finals I): Nessa, a Real Water-Type Expert!

Gigantamax Inteleon vs Gigantamax Drednaw

PS35's Documented "Plot"

With the matchups of the Finals's 1st round selected, Challenger Michael became fascinated to see his opponent being the Gym Leader that he challenged in Hulbury (after enjoying his own birthday). After a quick rotation (via Pokemon Box Link), Challenger Michael stepped onto the pitch where Gym Leader Nessa awaits + a massive crowd watching.

While Nessa does acknowledge her opponent having grown stronger since their Gym Battle at Hulbury Stadium, she knows that Michael is not Champion & she claims to make sure that doesn't happen for she's aiming to defeat both him & Champion Leon. Nessa also claims to have something prepared so that she won't underestimate Michael again. Challenger Michael is now feeling some zest for soon seeing how his 2nd battle with the Water-Type Gym Leader is gonna turn out as their match begins.

Although Michael's Urshifu put up a great fight against Nessa's Golisopod, the latter's Emergency Exit ability led to the former getting defeated by Nessa's Pelipper. Michael's Dracovish succeeds in defeating both Nessa's Pelipper & Seaking before it fell to Golisopod. Ironically similar from when Michael's Urshifu was in battle, Michael's Venusaur put up a great fight against Golisopod until the latter's Emergency Exit ability led to the former getting defeated by Nessa's Barraskewda. Michael's Slowking managed to defeat Barraskewda before it also fell to Golisopod. Down to 1 Pokemon, Michael sent out his Partner Inteleon who took out Golisopod with its Sucker Punch move (which was learned during their Gym Challenge at Hulbury Stadium). Down to 1 Pokemon also, Nessa presented what she had prepared, her Gigantamax Drednaw. Although impressed to see Nessa using Gigantamax (which shows that she was serious), Challenger Michael proceeds with using his Gigantamax as a Gigantamax Pokemon battle between Inteleon & Drednaw got underway. At the end, both side returned to their normal forms, however (just like the end of a certain Gym Battle at Hulbury Stadium & how Golisopod got defeated) it was thanks to its Sucker Punch move, that Inteleon defeats Drednaw, giving Challenger Michael the win.

Both Michael & Nessa gave their thanks to each other for another great match with the latter acknowledging what her friend Sonia had said about the former.

From back in the locker room, Challenger Michael watched the other 1st round matches up until the matchups for the Finals's semifinal round had been decided. Now knowing who his semifinal opponent is gonna be, the young Gym Challenger can look forward to facing the Gym Leader that he challenged in Stow-on-Side.
