Standing his ground, the Mamoswine regarded Hydreigon's flames with cool disdain. Astute observers would notice that even though the hail had ended, dark clouds still cast a damp aura over the stadium. (Avalanche windup)

The barrage of snow boulders knocked Hydriegon back and forth, freezing its wings and causing it to collapse to the ground. The crowd went ballistic, chanting Beryl's name after coming back from a crazy deficit. Ricky started balling, frustrated beyond anything he fathomed possible. He could not fathom being up two Pokémon and losing to anyone.

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.
Beryl felt a little bad for her opponent, but at the same time, she was relieved to have pulled off a comeback and kept herself at a single loss. "Let's go, Tundra," she said, executing a flying vault off the trainer's platform and landing (with some help from the Crystal Lance's powers) cleanly on the Mamoswine's back. The burned but still vigorous mammoth Pokemon shook the ashes out of his hair and plodded from the stadium, still nibbling on last night's leftovers.
Knowing she was in a great position to qualify, the young but tall Roberta, dressed in a blue blouse, ignored her opponent's gestures, wanting to get the battle over with. A win here would take the pressure off for next round, certainly.
Roberta released a blue-hued Poké Ball into the water, a loudly-splashing Sharpedo jumping above and below the waves. She didn't look concerned about Highwind's stare at all.

Roberta looked extremely frustrated when she saw Highwind rip Sharpedo to shreds before her Sharpedo had a chance to Mega Evolve with its foe. When the official declared a one-hit KO, Beryl's opponent stood there, her eyes shifting back and forth at the two Poké Balls remaining in her hands. After nearly running out her decision timer, she sent in the floating, white-winged Togekiss.

"Let's keep up the momentum. Stone Edge!" Highwind launched upward from where he was skimming over the surface of the water, ready to lash out at the Togekiss with a spike-studded wing.
Highwind launched itself directly at its aerial foe, cutting clean across its soft underside. Togekiss let out a horrid screech before collapsing right in front of Roberta. On her knees, Roberta swapped out her grievously-wounded Pokémon for a Volcarona, then immediately withdrew it. "Enough!" she cried, both mortified and frustrated at Highwind.
"Roberta has conceded the match. Beryl wins by a score of 3 to nil."
Beryl's eighth-round opponent, Melody, advertised herself as a city champion not about to lose to some no-name hero. She was a tall teenager wearing blue and white.
Battle #78: Pokemon League - Stage One - Round Eight - Melody Rodgers
Beryl merely replied to her opponent's taunt with a smile as she locked in her selections. She released Scout into the trainer's box, then patted his head. "We've come all this way. Let's get 'em!" Scout responded with a yip of affirmation before leaping into the ring.
Melody had a strong arm--she heaved her first Pokémon's Ball far into the battleground below. From within appeared a menacing, bipedal dragon boasting bladed tusks. Michael had shown Beryl pictures of this one before--a land dragon known as Haxorus. As if it had a regular routine in battle, the Pokémon made slashing moves with both its tusks and claws, looking to intimidate Beryl and her team while bolstering its own spirits. (Focus Energy)

The brief moment the Haxorus paused to sharpen its blades was the opening Scout was looking for. "Earthquake!" Scout slammed his claws into the earth, sending a rippling rumble through the arena and right under the Haxorus's feet.
The close-range shockwave sent Haxorus tumbling, the shaking earth making it impossible to stand until the tremors died down. Even after it was able to stand back up, it was still a bit woozy. "Focus and make this happen!" Melody shouted. "Find its chest and strike hard!" Its eye accessory acting almost as a sniper scope, the yellow-scaled dragon lined up before making a precise, straight charge, its eyes flaring red with anger.

The dragon Pokemon's bladed head knocked Scout straight up into the air, sending him rolling across the ground before finding his footing. Neither Pokemon looked to be in great shape. "You can do this!" Beryl encouraged, as Scout slammed into the ground again. (Earthquake)
Scout's second shockwave tripped Haxorus, exposing all of his scales to the violently-shaking ground below. It dizzily stood up, most of its armor badly cracked. With a heroic effort, the still-enraged Pokémon lunged at Scout.

The second strike knocked out Scout, but Beryl was satisfied that he'd done his job. She pondered her options for a while before sending out Trooper. "Extreme Speed!" Trooper agilely darted over the torn-up ground and lunged at the Haxorus.

Trooper's charge shattered much of Haxorus' scaly armor, prompting Melody to recall her Pokémon. Knowing it was so close, she took a bit of time adjusting her plan before deciding to release the long-eared, water-type Azumarill.

Beryl wasn't happy to see an Azumarill in the least, but she knew her third Pokemon wouldn't be a safe switch in. "Charge in with a Thunder Fang!" she directed Trooper.

Melody was excited to see the Arcanine stay in--not so much when the fire-type grabbed Azumarill and got a squeak out of it thanks to a precisely-delivered burst of electricity from its jaws. When the large Pokémon felt it couldn't hold the resisting foe anymore, it spit the water-type out with great force. She couldn't believe how prepared the Dragoons were even in friendly competition. "Get in that water and launch at it with a Hydro Pump, Azumarill!"

Trooper leaped out of the way but fell just short of clearing the path of the watery blast; luckily, the vest he was wearing managed to soak up most of the damage. With the Azumarill partially submerged, Beryl had her Arcanine use Thunder Fang again, sending an electrical charge through the surface of the water.

Fearlessly dipping its head into the water, Trooper loosed a fierce electrical charge into the water, the entire crowd able to hear the large spark flow throughout. Ten seconds after the fire-type finished shaking the water out of its fur, the Azumarill floated to the surface, belly up. Melody grumbled before revealing her final Pokémon, a Lucario, and requesting the battle end. "I'm going to crush you in the top eight! You'll see!" she shouted, angry at losing her great position.

Beryl met her ninth round opponent, a stoic-looking female that appeared to be around twenty years old. She wore a pink and white dress that stood out in the morning sun. "All I cared about was making the cut," Bridget greeted Beryl. "Any wins beyond this are gravy. Let's battle!"
