Terastal Surprise

And now, the block A second match everyone's been waiting for!

It's Katy, the Sugarbug, who feasts on victory, fluttering her way into the arena!

She's battling the rock-solid Pokémon Trainer, Brock!

And here's the second match of block B!

It's the Verdant Virtuoso, Brassius! Show us the artistry of your moves!

How will Misty, the Tomboyish Mermaid, take him on?!

This second match will decide our finalists! Ready...battle!

Allow me to test the depth of your imagination!

Don't underestimate me! I know all about Sudowoodo!

It might look like a Grass-type Pokémon... But it's actually Rock type!

Starmie's got the advantage! Too bad for you!

NOT avant-garde!

What a rigid, unimaginative mind you have! It seems you can only see things from one perspective!

You should cultivate an eye for art!

Wh-what?! What part of what I said was wrong?!

Allow me to bestow true art upon you!

I call it..."Truleewoodo"!

Art is creation and destruction! Struggle, else your defeat will nourish my Pokémon!

Ursaring, huh. That Pokémon packs a punch.

But if it's using Normal-type moves, it won't be effective against my Onix!

True! That's a tad too tough for my sweet little bear.

*chuckle* And so...

Decoration time, my little Ursaring! Let's get you some antennae and bug you up!

It...Terastallized?! You changed your Pokémon's type!

I see. So that's how you beat Roark's Rock-type Pokémon!

Bingo! Our weaknesses also changed...

But we'll smash you like a cake with our decorative moves, before your Rock-type attacks can get us!

At times, art becomes a race against the clock! Let us complete this piece!

Unbelievable!

Why so surprised? We're used to Grass-type moves by now!

When you're a Gym Leader, folks come at you with Pokémon and moves that target your weaknesses!

Hmph... Not bad!

Hahahahaha! You have a point, you clever little mermaid!

It seems I'm the one who lacked imagination!

You finally get it! But now, it's our turn! We'll show you how artistic water can be!

Goodness! They're fast!

Go, Starmie!

AVANT-GARDE!

Oh my!

My buggy little bear's decorative moves don't seem to be dealing much damage!

Katy, in case you didn't know...

Pewter City is right next to Viridian Forest, where bug Pokémon live.

A lot of Trainers who come to challenge me bring bug Pokémon they caught there and trained up!

Oh-ho!

Ah ha ha! It itches! It itches!

Oh? Oh my! Oh dear!

Onix! Time to counterattack!

What a shame! You made quick work of us! But...

If your Onix got THIS strong by training against Viridian Forest bugs...

then I'd love to visit one day!

It's time for the finals.

Yeah.

I relived all sorts of Kanto memories while battling my way here.

Hahaha! Me too!

Now... Let's go, Onix!

This is our time to shine, Starmie!

We're sticking to our one-and-only approach: The best offense is a good defense!

My policy for battle is...an all-out offensive!

Attack, Starmie!

Keep 'em at bay, Onix!

Days later...

Don't hold back. Come at me with everything you've got!

Let's see which comes out on top, your offense or my defense!

Show me your policy!

Starmie and I can take anything you throw at us!
