You decide you’re ready to take on Scarlet and accept her challenge. It feels like a good night for it, and you figure you could use her help since she definitely seems to be quite capable.

As you head into town, you ask around for Scarlet and an old Raichu tells you were to find her, hanging around the Armament Bunker like she usually does as she takes a smoke break. You follow his directions and you find the Weavile in question, just about to wrap up and head back to her apartment.

“Hey you!” Scarlet calls out to you, flicking her burnt cigarette away. “What you hangin’ around here for?”

“About that duel you wanted,” you tell her. “Bring it on.”

“Oh boy, sugar, I’ve been waitin’ a while for this,” Scarlet smirks with confidence. “At least help me enjoy this before I take you out!”

She then readies her claws as you give her a challenging glare.

SPARRING BATTLE!
You have challenged Scarlet the Weavile to a duel!

#2 Misty the Palpitoad

Fight!

Scarlet doesn’t even waste a breath before she lunges at you, racing toward you with breakneck speed. While you may not be as fast as her, you try your best to anticipate how she’ll strike and you quickly prepare to avoid the attack.

Scarlet strikes at Misty! Rolls 79! Hit for 3!
Misty: 17HP

Despite your best efforts, her claw still rakes into your side and it stings for but a moment. Still, it’s just a minor scratch and it’s not going to slow you down.

As she leaps into the air, you attempt to take a furious swing at her with your sledgehammer, anticipating where the head of the hammer will be when she lands. You throw your full might into it and make the best swing you can.

Misty strikes at Scarlet! Rolls 67! Hit for 4+3=7!
Scarlet: 13HP

It’s a very hard blow into her thigh and it does make her tumble for a moment.

“Ow!” She shouts, dusting herself off. “Okay, I’m gonna make you pay for that! You got lucky, but you’re about to see why that thing’s only going to slow you down!”

She dashes at you furiously and attempts a Night Slash attack on you, rushing and swiping as her claws are enveloped by a dark energy.

Scarlet strikes at Misty! Rolls 25! Miss!
Misty: 17HP

But she doesn’t expect you to use the metallic shaft of the hammer to block the attack. Instead, her claw strikes the shaft with no results and doesn’t connect with you. By the time she’s able to prepare another strike with her other claw, you step out of the way and are no longer within her reach.

“Ragh, you’re a feisty one!” Scarlet laughs. “Good, I don’t like dealin’ with chumps!”

She attempts to dash away, but you charge in furiously and attempt to hit her back with a ferocious reprisal.

Misty strikes at Scarlet! Rolls 24! Miss!
Scarlet: 13HP

But your swing goes wild and the hammer hits nothing but air. And Scarlet laughs, pointing her claw at you!

“See, I knew that was going to slow you down!” she taunts you. “Come on, stop tryin’ to hit me and hit me! But it ain’t too late to quit if you can’t!”

She then makes her next move, rushing forward and jumping into the air with gymnastic-like maneuvers, flipping and somersaulting into action, making her attack unpredictable. You brace yourself for anything, but then out of the blue, she strikes forward with her claw again.

Scarlet strikes at Misty! Rolls 43! Hit for 5!
Misty: 12HP

It hits hard and you recoil for the sudden laceration stings as her claw cuts into your abdomen. After grunting the pain off, you use her moment of confidence against her and make a reprisal attack sooner than she was thinking you would. You turn and swing before she’s able to dash around you…

Misty strikes at Scarlet! Rolls 43! Hit for 7+3=10!
Scarlet: 3HP

And it connects perfectly, hitting her hard in the chest and causing her to stumble and go rolling into the dusty ground. After the cloud of dust blows away, you can see she’s a bit hurt, but still not willing to give up.

“Oh boy, now I’m mad,” Scarlet snarls with a wicked grin. “I’m gonna make you eat that thing when I win, so I hope you came hungry!”

Again, she rushes in, using her same acrobatic like tactics since it seems to be working for her. It doesn’t give you too much insight as to what to prepare for, but you decide to take a defensive stance and attempt to use the shaft of the sledgehammer as a defense barrier.

Scarlet strikes at Misty! Rolls 85! Hit for 4!
Misty: 8HP

But it doesn’t work as Scarlet suddenly leaps into the air and strikes you in the back. It causes you to stumble forward, but you recover and avoid tumbling into the ground.

“Yeah, take it like a pro!” Scarlet laughs. “I am enjoyin’ this after all!”

She then rushes in to try the same thing again, but you recognize her attack pattern and now know how to prepare for it. Just when she’s about to make her strike, you throw a hard swing preemptively into the area where she’s about to land in behind you.

Misty strikes at Scarlet! Rolls 52! Hit for 8+3=11!
Scarlet: -8HP

And it absolutely pummels her hard in the process. She’s completely swept off her feet and lands first on her butt before she’s completely down on the ground. When the dust settles, she looks exhausted and is breathing heavily as dust and dirt is all over her.

Misty has defeated Scarlet the Weavile!

All enemies defeated. Misty is victorious.

Loot Collected:
<None>

“Owww, ow,” Scarlet moans, slowly getting up off the dusty ground. “Hot… damn, okay, you got me. Geez, you sure don’t fall for the same tricks twice.”

“Nope,” you smile in return.

“Okay, now that I know you guys are not the same kinds of pushover coward chumps I’ve had the displeasure of dealin’ with before, I’ll pitch in,” Scarlet tells you. “You’ve got guts and I like that. I like working with folks who have guts.”

Side Mission: Shed the Red COMPLETED!

“Just, let me have tonight to rest this off,” Scarlet smiles with a bit of embarrassment. “Man, you hit like you were trying to pulverize my unborn grandchildren. Well no matter, see you in the morning!”

She then heads off, limping a bit for a moment, but then eventually walking it off just fine. You’re curious to know what her exact motives art, but it seems like she’s got good intentions and will keep true to her word.
