Fifth Move - Castle
[Video; Action in Violet City]
[The feed has captured most of what has largely been a one-sided battle. Neither Falkner's Noctowl nor his Honchkrow could last very long against Rook, Roy's Graveler. Roy has also been showing expert use in commanding his Rock-type; for the most part, it hasn't tried to move much, and instead let itself be attacked and strike when the enemies are open. This time, though, Falkner was going to try something different.]
Pidgeot, use Twister!
[Pidgeot began rapidly flapping its wings, and created a small twister. Rook, being a Graveler, couldn't dodge, so it got caught up in the wind. However, Roy's look of confidence didn't break.]
Defense Curl, Rook! Keep it together...
[The twister then slammed into the wall and dissipated. However, Rook's momentum wasn't lost, and it went flying.]
Get to the wall...now, Rollout!
[The moment Rook hit the wall, it started rolling. The added momentum gave it too much speed for Pidgeot to successfully avoid, and so it was mowed down. The feed ends as Falkner and Roy recall their respective Pokémon.]
[Then, a few minutes later, the feed returns, just outside of Violet City Pokémon Gym.]
It took me longer than I would have liked to actually challenge the leader, but I finally got my first badge. Here's to hoping the remaining seven gym leaders are as easy.
