| abstract | - Constantine: I wonder who I'll be up against this time. Nate: Me against April. Jon: Constantine and I are up first. Drake: And I'm against Mary. Constantine: Let's go to the battlefield. Referee: The match is about to begin. Three Pokemon each, substitutions allowed. Begin! Constantine: Turtonator! Jon: Thought so. Go, Popplio! Nate: A Water type. Mary: That is a good start. Drake: You'd think. But Water type moves only do normal damage on a Fire and Dragon type. Constantine: You can go first. Jon: So kind. Rain Dance! Constantine: That wont help you. Jon: Now, return! April: Jon returned Popplio? Nate: I think I know what Pokemon he is going to use. Jon: Let's see how much you have trained, go! Greninja: Ja! Jon: Show me how much you have learnt at the ranch Greninja. Constantine: A Greninja, that won't help. Dragon Pulse! Jon: Counter with Ice Beam! Jon: New move, Hydro Pump! Constantine: So that is why you put the rain up. Drake: This is Jon we are talking about. Nate: Jon makes sure he has the battlefield analysed and also makes sure that he can make the battlefield work for his Pokemon. With Rain Dance up, Hydro Pump's power was increased. Constantine: Flash Cannon! Jon: Dark Pulse! Constantine: Dragon Pulse! Jon: Are you okay Greninja? Greninja: Ninja. Jon: Good. Now, Water Shuriken! Constantine: Shell Trap! Constantine: But Water Shuriken is a physical type move. Jon: How can it be if there is no physical contact. I choose Greninja for this reason Constantine. I don't choose my team for no reason at all. Constantine: Now, Flamethrower! Mary: Constantine looks unsettled. Nate: Revealing Turtonator yesterday gave Jon the chance to plan his team around Turtonator and Constantine's other Pokemon. Considering all Greninja knows are distance moves, Constantine can't use Shell Trap. Drake: Clever. April: Jon is so cool. Jon: Now, Ice Beam! Jon: Hoped that would have lasted a bit longer. Constantine: Turtonator is fine. Now, Dragon Pulse! Jon: Water Shuriken! Constantine: Flash Cannon! Jon: Greninja! Nate: That was a lot of damage. Drake: I wonder what Jon will do now Rain Dance isn't in effect. Jon: What to do. Constantine: Now, Dragon Pulse! Jon: He'll be expecting a counter attack. Greninja: Gren. Jon: Right! Jon: Ice Beam! Jon: Just like Viola and her Surskit. Greninja: Ninja. Constantine: Flamethrower! Melt the ice! Jon: Dark Pulse! Jon: Now, get above Turtonator and use Hydro Pump! Referee: Turtonator is unable to battle. Constantine: No way! Jon: You were amazing Greninja. Jon: Return for now. Get some rest. Greninja: Gren. Constantine: Raichu! Jon: Electric and Psychic type. Right, go Mudbray! Constantine: A Mudbray. This will be a bit more difficult. Jon: Mega Kick! Constantine: Psychic! Jon: Argh. Constantine: Now, Hyper Beam! Jon: Mudbray! Jon: Now quick, while Raichu is unable to move. High Horsepower! Jon: Now, Mega Kick! Constantine: Use Psychic! Constantine: Hyper Beam! Jon: Mudbray! Referee: Mudbray is unable to battle. Jon: You were great Mudbray. Jon: Popplio can't deal with a Raichu, and with Psychic. Greninja is my only choice. Jon: I'm sorry to call on you again, but with Raichu having Psychic, I need you. Raichu in Alola are Electric and Psychic type. Greninja: Ninja Ja. Jon: Yeah. Now, Water Shuriken! Constantine: Thunderbolt! Jon: Dark Pulse! Constantine: Nuzzle! Jon: Now, Ice Beam! Constantine: Thunderbolt! Jon: Hydro Pump! Referee: Both Raichu and Greninja are unable to battle. Jon: You were amazing Greninja, thank you. Constantine: I know your last Pokemon, but you don't know mine. Jon: Doesn't matter, we will still win this. Constantine: Since Popplio is your last Pokemon, go Passimian! Jon: Right Popplio, we win this, we are through to the next round. But this is also the same for Constantine. Constantine: Don't make it easy for them Passimian. Rock Tomb! Jon: Popplio! Constantine: Focus Energy! Jon: Use Rain Dance, try and get out. Constantine: Close Combat! Jon: Popplio! Drake: That was a critical hit. Nate: And with Close Combat being very powerful anyway. April: I hate to say it, but I think Jon has lost. Jon: Huh? Jon: Yes! Constantine: Rain? Mary: Popplio used Rain Dance! Jon: Yes, which means you are still able to battle. Constantine: Popplio is down. Passimian hit first. Jon: True, but Popplio didn't use Rain Dance before Passimian hit. Now, Water Gun! Jon: Way to go. Constantine: You may have gotten through that, but not Double-Edge! Jon: Dodge it! Jon: Huh? It's the same as Diantha's Gardevoir. Popplio, go. Use Moonblast! Constantine: Rock Tomb! Jon: Not again you aren't. Hyper Voice! Constantine: No way! Jon: Now, Moonblast! Referee: Passimian is unable to battle, Popplio wins. Jon progresses on to the Semi-Finals. Jon: Yes. You were awesome Popplio. Narrator: Jon and Constantine began their battle with Turtonator going up first for Constantine, but Jon and Greninja dealt with Turtonator well. The battle was fierce but it was all up to Popplio and Passimian, with Popplio learning Moonblast to defeat Passimian. What will the other battles present? Find out tomorrow!
