>>5970162>>5970163>>5970306The match that follows is absolutely frenetic - Fie's dad really is all brute force and Fie clearly knows exactly how to deal with him, leading with a Delphox to his Breloom, a move she evidently expected judging by both her choice of counter and her opening move being an Incinerate to clear the Sitrus Berry that Breloom is holding, a circumstance that goes virtually unpunished as Breloom uses Mach Punch, before Fie's dad swaps to a Poliwrath, which eats the follow-up Psychic head-on and is heavily damaged by it, though isn't knocked clean out, which is rather impressive.
"This is going to be an absolute slugging match." Martha says, noting where you're looking.
"It sure looks like it." You agree.
"When Fie and her dad Norris battle, it has a tendency to watch like a family argument in the form of a pokemon battle." Jean says.
"It looks a little bit like Norris is a little light on arguments tonight though." Kathryn observes as Delphox shrugs off a Dynamic Punch thanks to a Protect before knocking Poliwrath out with another Psychic before Fie swaps her Delphox for a Talonflame which immediately sets up a Tailwind as her father sends in an Infernape, which rushes in with a Close Combat which, to your eye, doesn't do much.
Talonflame's Brave Bird on the next turn though, knocks Infernape clean out, before an Acrobatics on the Hawlucha that replaces it.
In the aftermath, she swaps in Cinder, her Blaziken against Norris's Machoke, which gets a free Submission and Low Kick in while Cinder performs a Sword's Dance.
As Machoke moves in for a Cross Chop though, it's knocked clean out by an Aerial Ace, before the Medicham that follows it is knocked out with a similarly decisive Aerial Ace, leaving Fie the victor.
A state of affairs that Norris looks none too pleased with.
The whole match took all of about five minutes.
"Hm. That was decisive. Norris usually gets at least one knockout." Judy says, sounding surprised.
"Maybe you rubbed off on her." Martha says.
"How so?" You ask with a frown.
"Judging by how you handled Team Green at the lake and here last time, you don't take any prisoners when you battle." She explains. "You're not really one to show off."
