Description[]
Ash Ketchum has had some happy go lucky rivals in his day. These two are not those rivals.
Interlude[]
Wiz: When you want to become the very best, there's always someone who wants to stand in your way.
Boomstick: And Ash Ketchum is a prime example of that. He's had several friendly rivals.
Wiz: But these two are extremely hard and uncompromising.
Boomstick: Paul, Ash's best Sinnoh rival.
Wiz: And Alain, Ash's best Kalos rival. Since Paul possesses so many Pokemon, we'll be examing the team he had in his 6 on 6 fight with Ash in the Lily of the Valley Conference.
Boosmtick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a death battle.
Paul[]
Wiz: Paul is a trainer who was born in Veilstone City. Before officially starting his journey, he watched his brother Reggie take on the Pyramid King, Brandon.
Boomstick: But his brother lost without even beating a single pokemon. On that day, Paul vowed he'd be more powerful than his brother and became a major douche.
Wiz: Paul is a daring strategist who learns what his opponents are capable of in order to keep them off balance.
Boomstick: We'll be examining his pokemon in the order Paul brought em' out in the Sinnoh League. His first Pokemon is Aggron, a Rock/Steel Type. If I were you, I wouldn't use any Flying or Normal type pokemon against this guy. Aggron can boost his defense with Iron Defense, raise his attack with Metal Claw, lower the opponent's special defense with Metal Sound and Flash Cannon, and unleash Double-Edge, a move so powerful that it deals damage to the user. But not Paul's Aggron because it's ability is Rock Head, an ability that prevents a pokemon from taking recoil damage.
Wiz: Next up is Gastrodon, a Water/Ground Pokemon. Gastrodon can use Muddy Water, a move that can lower a target's accuracy. It can also use Body Slam to pin down opponents, especially birds, Gastrodon also knows Water Pulse, a move that sometimes confuses the opponent. And as what might be assumed as an added precaution against Grass types, Gastrodon can use Ice Beam.
Boomstick: Next up is my favorite, Drapion, a Poison/Dark type. What's up with Paul and having two typed pokemon? Anyways, Drapion can use Pin Missile for multiple strikes and cause critical damage with Cross Poison. Basically, the poison edition of X-Scissor. It also knows Toxic Spikes, a really nasty move that causes poisonous spikes to spread around the opponent's side of the field, badly poisoning the next pokemon who comes out. But if that fails, Drapion can just use Poison Fang.
Wiz: For a bit more speed, Paul has Ninjask, a Bug/Flying type. Ninjask can increase speed with Agility, cause more critical damage with Fury Cutter, or sap away at an enemy's health with Giga Drain. It also has the Speed Boost ability which increases Ninjask's speed during the battle.
Boomstick: Next up is this guy, Froslass.
Wiz: Actually, Froslass is an all-female species.
Boosmtick: Oh. Well, anyways, Froslass can use Hail to cause a hailstorm, always go first with Ice Shard for some reason, and freeze her opponents with Ice Beam. She also has the ability Snow Cloak. With it, she can appear and disappear throughout the battlefield and even go through attacks as long as a hailstorm occurs. But if a hailstorm fades, so does Snow Cloak.
Wiz: But his last and most powerful Pokemon is Electivire, an Electric type.
Boomstick: Oh look, a pokemon who isn't dual typed!
Wiz: Anyways, Electivire knows only two Electric type moves, Thunder and Thunder Punch.
Boosmtick: But for an extra layer of defense, Electivire knows Protect, a move that blocks every attack except Feint and Phantom Force, and Light Screen, a move that can be used to protect against Special Attacks and lasts even when the pokemon who used the move isn't on the battlefield.
Wiz: But he also knows two other moves, Brick Break and Giga Impact. Brick Break can be used to break moves like Light Screen and Giga Impact is basically a physical version of Hyper Beam.
Boomstick: Despite Paul's brutal skill, his pokemon still have weaknesses. Aggron is 4X weak to Ground and Fighting types and 2X weak to Water types.
Wiz: Gastrodon is 4X weak to Grass types.
Boomstick: Drapion is 4X weak to Ground types.
Wiz: Ninjask is 4X weak to Rock types and 2X weak to Flying, Fire, Electric, and Ice types.
Boomstick: Froslass is 2X weak to Ghost, Dark, Fire, Rock, and Steel types.
Wiz: Electivire is 2X weak to Ground types.
Boomstick: But still, Paul might just be Ash's hardest rival.
Ash: So Paul, how many badges do you have?
Paul: You know, it's really none of your business!
Alain[]
Wiz: In the Kalos region lives the Preofessor Sycamore, who works with his group of scientists to uncover Mega Evolution. But his greatest assistant was Alain.
Boomstick: Sycamore inspired Alain to search for Mega Stones. He already owned a Charmander and after leaving Sycamore, Charmander evolved. Then he went to a near ruin containing an Ampharosite where he discovered Lysandre and battled for it. Unfortunately, he lost.
Wiz: After this, Lysandre invited Alain to Lysandre Labs and Lysandre revealed that he wanted to harness the energy produced from Mega Evolution for peaceful reasons.
Boomstick: Not sure how energy like that can be used for peace. But anyways, he said that if Sycamore revealed the secrets of Mega Evolution, man would want to use it for their own purposes and the Professor's name would be tainted.
Wiz: Asking for Alain's help, Lysandre revealed a Mega Ring and Charizardite X to Alain. After being convinced, Alain decided to help Lysandre. and during his journey, his Charmeleon evolved into a Charizard.
Boomstick: But we'll get get to the fire dragon later. Like Paul, we'll be examining Alain's pokemon in the order they were summoned in the 6 on 6 battle. So first up is Tyranitar, a Rock/Dark type.
Wiz: Tyranitar can use Crunch to lower a Pokemon's defense, Dark Pulse to make the opponent flinch, and Stone Edge to deal damage.
Boomstick: Next up is Weavile, a Dark/Ice type. Weavile can block any attack with Protect, launch critical strikes with Night Slash, freeze opponents with Ice Beam, and fool enemies with Double Team.
Wiz: Next up is Bisharp, a Dark/Steel type.
Boomstick: Why are half of Alain's team Dark types?
Wiz: Bisharp can paralyze opponents with Thunder Wave, one-shot opponents with Guillotine, ram foes and make em' flinch with Iron Head, and lower and opponent's Special Defense with Focus Blast.
Boomtick: Then there's Unfezant, who is male due to the gender difference. He can raise his Defense with Steel Wing and make foes flinch with Sky Attack and Air Slash.
Wiz: His second strongest pokemon is Metagross. You'd think that since Tyranitar and Metagross can Mega Evolve, he'd look for a Tyranitarite and Metagrossite but I guess not. But anyways, Metagross can use Metal Claw to raise his attack. Metagross can also use Psyshock and raise it's attack with Meteor Mash. It can raise its speed with Agility and use Rock Slide to make foes flinch.
Boomstick: And finally, there's Alain's Charizard, who Alain normally makes fight Mega Evolved pokemon, is Alain's most powerful pokemon. He can burn things with Flamethrower, raise Defense with Steel Wing, slash away at opponents with Dragon Claw, and paralyze his opponent with Thunder Punch. But his most powerful move is Blast Burn, a move that makes Charizard punch the ground and cause a powerful eruption that causes an explosion under the opponent's feet. It's also so powerful that Charizard can't act right away after using it.
Wiz: Despite how skilled Alain is, his team still has weaknesses. Tyranitar is 4X weak to Fighting types and 2X weak to Ground, Bug, Steel, Water, Grass, and Fairy types.
Boomstick: Weavile is 4X weak to Fighting types, 2X weak to Fire, Rock, Steel, Bug, and Fairy types.
Wiz: Bisharp is 4X weak to Fighting types, 2X to Fire and ground types.
Boomstick: Unfezant is 2X weak to Electric, Rock, and Ice types.
Wiz: Metagross is 2X weak to Fire, Ground, Ghost, and Dark types.
Boomstick: And Charizard is 4X weak to Rock types and is 2X weak to Electric and Water types.
Wiz: And Mega Charizard is 2X weak to Rock, Ground, and Dragon types.
Boomstick: But no matter the limit, Alain and his team always prevail.
Alain: Great, Mega Charizard.
Pre-Death Battle[]
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLLLLLLEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Results[]
Boomstick: Well, this wasn't as friendly as other pokemon battles.
Wiz: Paul may have been the more strategic one, but Alain won for many reasons.
Boomstick: here's one. Paul's dual typed pokemon know a string of moves that match one of their types, but not the other.
Wiz: For example, Drapion knows many Poison type moves, but no Dark type moves. Froslass knows many Ice type moves, but no Ghost type moves.
Boomstick: But Alain's Pokemon know moves that match two of the types. Weavile knows Ice and Dark moves, Metagross knows Steel and Psychic moves, Tyranitar knows Rock and Dark moves, well half of his pokemon anyways.
Wiz: Plus, Paul has never encountered Mega Evolution so he wouldn't know what to expect or do to counter it.
Boomstick: Looks like Paul got blasted with an uncurable burn.
Wiz: The winner is Alain.
