The fate of the match decides his fate, whether he continues to travel alongside you, or he becomes a permanent living addition to Johnny Cashews' collectio-
Johnny interrupts the narrative to address the the fourth wall, "I'm actually going to stuff him."
Oh.
Well then.
--Or he becomes a permanent "stuffed" addition to Johnny Cashews' collection of trophies.
You swallow down a hard gulp. Admittedly Skrelp isn't the best Pokemon on your team, fuck he barely comes close with the sharp competition, but it's definitely no reason to dish him out on the curb like an unwanted lovechild. A team member stays a team member until the end!...unless certain circumstances say otherwise.
Much like you, Bud Tugly utilizes its first appearance in the chapter by swallowing down a hard gulp of its own.
Using the power of his burning desire for antiquated jewelry from other dimensions, Johnny Cashews rages a hellfire throughout the vineyard, summoning pillars of fire from the nethermost regions of hell. The sheer amount of heat causes dry skin breaks on Skrelp's face.
Johnny consumes a ghost pepper, then lets out his blazing inferno, initially aiming it at the sky for a sort-of fireworks show pre-mortem.
He then aims it straight at Machamp, and Korrina has never gripped on harder to you in her entire life, "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! Caley, I totally won't forgive myself if I lose this for you! I'm gonna win it! I know we can! Machamp, use Superpower and fight your way through that fire!"
"Maaaa....CHAAAMMMMMMP!"
Machamp grits his teeth, charges up Superpower, and heads full-first into the stream of fire with the intention of enduring and forcing the flames back. He takes consistent damage throughout the torrid ordeal.
A) Cheer Machamp on!
B) [insert Korrina route progression here~]
C) Provide Skrelp with moisture lotion.
