>>35681257With the team all grinded up it was time to enter the elite four. Would it be mostly smooth sailing like Gold or a total shitshow like Silver?
Will went down without trouble though it was a proper combined effort from the whole team. Every member played an instrumental part.
Koga got solo'd by Hickory
Bruno was scary since we almost lost Birch to a crit from Hitmonlee. Thankfully the Fly killed him afterwards.
Karen went the same way as Will with everyone pitching in to win.
Finally the climactic battle with Lance had come. It started off incredibly strong. Coralbell oneshot Gyarados while Mantine took out both of the lower level Dragonites with Blizzard. His ace Dragonite managed to outspeed him though and delivered a DEVASTATING hyper beam, putting our beloved Mantine at 2 hp before the blizzard killed him. I'm almost positive it was a bad roll and he's incredibly lucky to be alive. The rest of his team caved to Coralbell and just like that we've finished Crystal with a full team. A first time for this autismlocke.
I'm extremely proud of this team. Every single one of them blew my expectations away. Sunflora and Lanturn especially. Now we hop on over to the GBA to experience the wonderful land of water and trumpets. See you then everyone.
