Though Mystic quickly punished Empoleon's bold moves against Rumble, Simeom didn't look concerned in the slightest--he had made it extremely difficult for Beryl's team to maneuver. After withdrawing his water-type, his expression changed to a puzzled face. He had the traps set, but was unsure how to gain control of the match. After doing a lot of of probability math, the former Champion released an Electivire and immediately commanded an Ice Punch.

Unsure of how to counter Simeom's aggression, Beryl hesitated, in which time Electivire had leaped at Mystic and pummeled him with an icy fist. Recalling her Pokemon, Beryl considered her options for countering the speedy Electric-type. She sent out Scout, the Sandslash wincing painfully as he was scratched and poked by layers of caltrops and stones.

"I love being right for the wrong reason!" Simeom exclaimed with a fist pump following his favorable read, though not with the outcome he expected. "Keep going!" The electric-type wound up with its mist-laden off hand, ready to thrust at Scout with it at any given moment.

A mere ten days after the Mending, a young knight of Valeron and a young ranger of Eos made a discovery that would change Alara forever.
Electivire's punch sent Scout sprawling across the ground. Simeom was about to declare victory when, with a ferocious look in his eyes, Scout slowly propped himself up on all fours. "My Pokemon never give up, and neither do I," Beryl said with a smile. "Now, Scout! Earthquake!"

Thoroughly impressed by Scout's tenacity, Simeom recalled his fallen Electric-type, not visibly shaken. "You'll wish you hadn't made me pull out my ace." The professional threw out a specially-decorated Ball, two grey crests manifesting alongside the Scizor inside, the crests fading seconds later. "Bullet Punch!"

Beryl hardly even saw the Scizor move -- just the sound of a loud crack, and Scout was unconscious on the ground. With her options dwindling, she sent Trooper into the fray. Even though Simeom's Pokemon wasn't as vulnerable to fire as a normal Scizor, she at least had a chance of withstanding its powerful Steel-type attacks. Instinctively knowing what to do, Trooper breathed a stream of fire at the foe, trying to inflict a nasty burn. (Flamethrower)

Simeom smirked. Beryl knew that this Scizor was trained to ward off extreme heat, yet she was bringing an Arcanine in. "Looks like someone's running out of options!" Saying nothing more, the excited Trainer and Pokémon grew a bright yellow, Beryl having problems seeing what was going on. If it was anything like Highwind, it only meant one thing--Mega Evolution. Scizor emerged from the light, now wielding long, serrated pincers that looked like they would rip right through Trooper. He then remembered the Arcanine was geared up, ready to weather any storm. That needed to be fixed. "Scizor, use Knock Off!"

Scizor's attack shredded the vest Trooper was wearing, leaving it completely ineffective for warding off future attacks. Knowing the tide of battle was turning against her, Beryl gave the command for a Flare Blitz -- Trooper was currently so weak that he wouldn't survive another of the Scizor's attacks anyway.

Trooper desperately rammed Simeom's ace Pokémon, knocking it to the ground. Simeom looked unsure if it would even stand after that reckless tackle. Though it managed to barely get to its feet, it looked like it was staggering about randomly, panting. That battered metal plating looked like it wasn't going to do much now, either. Even its fists were staggering, the steel-type ready to launch itself at the next Pokémon Beryl sent out, whatever it might be.

"Go, Highwind! Finish it off with your Crunch attack!" Beryl's Aerodactyl flew out of its Ball, having developed less vulnerability to the rocks through extensive training with Beryl's other Pokemon. At the apex of his flight, he transformed in a shell of light, then swooped down on the Scizor, teeth crackling with dark energy.

Scizor was already worn out from its battle with Trooper, falling easily to Highwind's speedy dive from above. Seeing Beryl expose her ace, Simeom released Magnezone, one of his most defensive Pokémon.

Magnezone was much slower than Highwind, but it undoubtedly was packing enough power to zap the prehistoric beast right out of the air. Unwilling to take that risk, Beryl switched Highwind out for her final Pokemon, Tundra.

Simeom appeared to be a step ahead of Beryl. Knowing he still had a very strong Pokémon to back Magnezone up, he figured he could opt for the much safer Flash Cannon. Even the Leader had to cover his eyes, the brilliant electric-type lighting up the entire stadium brighter than midday during its charge-up.

Beryl had to shield her eyes from the brilliant flash of light emanating from Magnezone's magnets, even as she heard Tundra bellowing in pain. When she could see again, Tundra was lying on the ground, a line of burnt fur scored down his middle. Knowing that it was impossible for Highwind to knock out Magnezone in a single hit, Beryl recalled her Pokemon and stepped forward to shake Simeom's hand.
Simeom accepted Beryl's handshake, withdrawing his Pokémon. "You're a wonderful Trainer--don't let your losses tonight say anything about your performance. Maybe you'll be Ageos League Champion next year. Now, I'm going to head back and watch the finals."

Beryl nodded. "Thanks. And before you go-- if you see Rocco tonight, tell him thanks. Without his help, I'm not sure I would have made it past the first stage. He gave me some great advice." She left to rejoin her friends in Center Stadium.
