>>56263573Brunown dodges Dark Pulse and strikes with AncientPower, but doesn't get the boost. It looks like it'll take four more hits to defeat Ninetales. On the next turn, Fire Blast misses and Brunown attacks again, only for Ninetales to shake off the damage with its Gold Berry.
The following turn is where things start to come together. Dark Pulse misses again, and this time Brunown gets the boost from AncientPower. Both Pokémon are down to about half health, but it's impossible to know whether or not Brunown can tank a hit with the Sp. Def boost. Brunown strikes first the next turn, and by some miracle gets a SECOND boost to its stats from AncientPower. Ninetales's Fire Blast then misses, and everything ends the following turn with Hidden Power.
"Nrrgh! Even after all that, I still can't beat you... And right when I finally found something rare... I guess this isn't worth as much as a clean escape..."
