My take on BW Ash vs Sinnoh League Paul
*LONG POST*
Here's how I see it going:
BW Pikachu vs Aggron: Same as OG fight, except thanks to Electro Ball does more damage from a long range and speed gap. Volt Tackle isn't good against Aggrons Battle style, meaning Unova Pikachu does better here. He is still recalled though.
Pignite vs Aggron: Pignite outspeeds with Flame Charges, tanking a couple hits in the process. 3-4 quad effective Brick Breaks later and Aggron is out. Pignite is switched.
Unfezant vs Gastrodon: Same as Staraptor vs Gastrodon. Unfezant having ranged attacks means its either never in the position to get pinned by Body Slam, or it can use Gust on the ground to get out. Either way, she's hit by Ice Beam and recalled.
Leavanny vs Gastrodon: Leavanny dodges an Ice Beam before wrapping Gastrodon's neck up with String Shot and throwing it into the air. Gastrodon comes down with Body Slam, but this exposes its underbelly. Leavanny fires a 4x effective Energy Ball to finish it off. Ash is in the lead! However, Paul is about to get serious. Enter Drapion!
Leavanny vs Drapion: As in the OG battle, Pauls plan was to use his first two as scouts before sending in the real menace. Drapion sets up Toxic Spikes and fires off a Pin Missle, which Leavanny expertly dodges. Drap keeps up the pressure with Cross Poison which connects doing big damage. Leavanny fires String Shot but Drapion breaks through with its Pincers. Ash switches to close quarters combat with X-Scissor. Big mistake! Drapion grabs it, and chomps down with Poison Fang. Poisoned and hit by so many super effective moves, Leavanny is in the red. This activates his Swarm ability, making its next String Shot strong enough to hold Drapion down. He fires off Energy Ball, Razor Leaf and X-Scissor. Eventually though, the poison and its exhaustion get to it. Drapion is able to break free and finish it off with Cross Poison.
Pignite vs Drapion: Pignite is poisoned by the spikes upon entering the battlefield. Ash has Pignite burn away the Toxic Spikes with Fire Pledge. He is still poisoned, so he returns the favor by igniting the string and leaves from Leavanny's earlier Razor Leaf's and String Shot with Flamethrower. The move does more damage than usual (thanks to Energy Ball lowering Drapions Sp Def.) and burnsthe Ogre Scorp Pokemon. Poisoned, Pignite is captured by Drapions Tail. However, much like Buizel, he breaks out using sheer strength to pry himself out and launch Flame Charge. Drapion uses Poison Fang at the same time and both parties are hurt. The posion takes its toll, along with some earlier damage from Aggron, and Pignite faints. Paul recalls Drapion due to significant damage and having a status condition.
Unfezant vs Ninjask: Unfezant is a fantastic flyer, but Ninjask is faster. Being unable to lock onto its target, the Proud Pokemon is pummeled by repeated strikes of fury cutter from the Ninja. Eventually, Ash gets the idea of having Unfezant fly upward with Quick Attack. Ninjask chases, and Unfezant uses its own large size as an advantage by spinning with an Air Cutter. The sudden flurry of slashes means that even Ninjask can't react to all of them being hit by one. Thats all Unfezant needs. She follows up with Gust to slam Ninjask into the ground before following up with its signature Aerial Ace. The chain of supereffective moves means that the frail Ninjask is unable to continue giving Ash the win.
Unfezant vs Froslass: Paul quickly sends in his own female pokemon and sets up Hail, damaging Unfezant. Ash has her use Gust to blow away a section of the Hail, breaking Froslass's cover long enough for Unfezant to lock on with Aerial Ace. The attack connects but Paul quickly calls for Ice Beam at a close range. Froslass grabs Unfezants beak and chills it into unconsciousness evening up the match with both having 3 left.
Pikachu vs Froslass: Same as the OG except that he breaks out of the ice with Thunderbolt to win since he doesn't know Volt Tackle. Ash recalls him.
Palpitoad vs Drapion: Palpitoad comes in next. He counters Pin Missle with Hydro Pump before using Supersonic to confuse Drapion. Due to already taking damage from/being burned by Leavanny and Pignite, as well as hurting itself in confusion, Palp is able to beat it with a descisive Mud Shot
Palpitoad vs Electivire: Pauls Ace counters Mud Shot with the stones from Underground Thunder. He uses Brick Break striking it in the head, but Ash has Palpitoad respond with Sludge Wave which comes up from Palpitoads head. He is knocked out by Electivire but Sludge Wave damages him.
Pikachu vs Electivire: Same as the original. Electivire is given a great fight, especially troubled by Pikachus speed, but defeats Pikachu when Motor Drive is activated by Electro Ball.
Krookodile vs Electivire: 3/4 of Electivires moves are innefective. However, Brick Break is super effective. Krook counters the physical move with Dragon Claw but can't land Dig as it's blocked by Protect. Eventually, Drapion captures Krookodile (by knocking away its sunglasses) and uses a flurry of Brick Breaks, one of which being a critical hit. Paul mocks Ash for having such an exploitable weakness.
Ash agrees with Paul, suprising him. He tells Krookodile that his glasses are great, but they aren't the source of his power. The source is their bond. Krookodile slowly gets up grabbing the sunglasses. He tosses them back to Ash, signaling to him that he'll take them back after the fight is won. The Intimidation Pokemon surges with power as his ability, Anger Point activates. The earlier crit from Brick Break turns against Paul, as Krookodile has a maxxed out attack stat. Dragon Claw easily overpowers Brick Break. He launches Dig, but instead of striking comes out from behind him. He flies into Electivire with Aerial Ace knocking it on its back. Then, still on top of Pauls ace, uses a max attack Dig tunneling through the stadium ground with Electivire as its shovel. As they emerge, the dust clears and the Thunderbolt Pokemon gives a grin. After a staredown, Electivire takes the fall. Krookodile is the victor!
BW Ash wins an extremly close, 6-5 victory over Sinnoh League Paul
