Fucking hell man…
I had finally finished exploring every area and battling every trainer throughout the entirety of the Hoenn Region, and was finally feeling ready to go through Victory Road to take on the Pokémon League, but I just HAD to check the Trainer’s Eyes one last time and - oh, the old couple from Meteor Falls wants a rematch? Sure, I could go for a nice challenging double battle right before I take on the final gauntlet, it’ll be a nice warm up. Worst mistake of my life…
I lead with Tropius and Seviper since every other team member I had was weak to fighting. I knew their Medicham had psychic from the first match and so opted to address it first, using Fly and Glare. But then, their Hariyama used Belly Drum, and my mouth instantly dried up. Forget resists, I was now looking at a 1hko machine on my screen. I had to wait for Tropius to take out Medicham with Fly, so I stalled out Hariyama for a turn with paralysis. Next turn, I knew I couldn’t wait for Fly to land again so I used Flamethrower + Magical Leaf hoping that could take out Hariyama from half health. It did not, not even close. In an instant, Tropius was buried in a Rocky Tomb, so I sent out Glalie hoping an Ice Beam + Flamethrower combo would finish it. It did not, it survived with like 1 HP, and Glalie soon joined Tropius in their tomb. Took Hariyama out the next turn, but it was too late, the damage was done.
