The Fearow seems to be unbothered by the reduction of its defense and it used a Steel Wing under the command of its trainer to parry a Quick Attack from Phinia.
The Steel Wing then is about to slap on Phinia before my Pidgey get out of the way using the remaining speed granted by Quick Attack.
Kasumi shoot a Bubble Beam from behind and it successfully hit the Fearow and lowered its Speed.
Just when the Fearow is about to attack Kasumi, it received a beating from Phinia whose wings are now glowing with silver gray metallic energy like the Fearow's wings before.
No way.....
My Pidgey have learned Steel Wing from her opponent!?
Now ganged up by Phinia and Kasumi, it is only a matter of time before the Fearow is fallen.
The fourth round is easier than the third round, I have Shion out and our opponents are a pair of siblings using a Psyduck and Golduck.
Easy Win with Kasumi throwing her Shadow Ball and Shion shooting her Bullet Seed.
And now, we are on the final of the Tag Team Tournament.
And our opponent is...
Surprise, Surprise!
It is Lorman and a girl wearing an eyeglasses plus a set of baggy brown and yellow clothes, her thick, waist length black hair is tied in a ponytail with a braided style near the end.
She looks exactly like Mary/Marie from the game Harvest Moon or Story of Season.
Why do I get a vibe that they are childhood sweetheart?
In my eyes, the drama king Lorman would be a good pair with that nerdy cute girl who seems to be a bookworm?
I wouldn't be surprised if in the future they have a cliche development with Lorman creating a drama troupe with his artist pokemons and that girl will be their screenwriter.
Seeing me and Kotonoha as his opponents, Lorman immediately switched the pokeball that is already held in his hands with another one from his trainer belt.
I bet 69 donuts and 69 muffins that the pokeball he switched out is the one containing his Smeargle that already have a crushing defeat against my Pokémon.
Based on our battle earlier, if he is gone by logic, I think his Spinda will be most likely the one which will be let out by him since it is the only Pokémon who managed to KO my Pokémon on our battle earlier.
"On this Final Battle of today's Tag Team Tournament, we have the Newbie Couple Jovanna and Kotonoha on the left side of the Arena!"
The spectators give out their cheers and applause to us that echoes loudly on the entire Duel Dome.
Hmmm.... Not sure whether the "newbie couple" terms the announcer said earlier refers to us being a couple of newbie trainers who just started yesterday or us being a newly made couple fresh from this morning.
"And on the right side of the Arena, we have 'The Strongest Newbie' gracing our stage today. The one and only Trainer who have carved a local legend in our Town for having more than 90 strokes of winning even before he started his journey for League Tournament! Please give our loudest applause to Lorman the Abnormal Normal!!!!!"
"UUUUUWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"
Whoa whoa there, what is with this blatant favouritism here?
Though I understand him being a local here would have advantage in his home field, especially with the local achievement he already have in this hometown of his.
However, what is this with his title? Abnormal Normal?
Should not his title be something like "Drama King", "Self Proclaimed Gym Leader", "Badgeless Gym Leader" or straight out a "Whack Artist"?
What in the distortion realm is the Abnormal Normal?
Sure, his pure Normal type Pokemon is quite strong, but I don't think it is an abnormal thing, right?
As long as you train your Pokémon properly, anyone can have strong Pokémon with strict discipline.
Anyway, I and Kotonoha both used our starter Shion and Kasumi for our final battle.
Meanwhile Lorman and the girl beside him let out a Spinda.... And a Misdreavus.....
Oh mai Mew, what kind of pairing is this?
A Normal type and a Ghost Type?
My imaginative mind is immediately going on an overdrive, picturing a scene in the would-be future if Lorman and that girl have a lover's fight.
And then both of them take out their Pokémons and they attacks with only their STAB Moves that deals 0 damage against each other.
Oh Krabby, I think my amusing face leak out some questionable expression now, I can see that Kotonoha and Lorman looks at me with a weird expression.
By the way, is it just me, or did the announcer forget to even mentioned the name of the megane girl who stand beside Lorman?
Who is her name?

[ ] Author's Note [ ]
Yeah, the Finale is against Lorman and a cute nerdie girl who looks like Mary or Marie from the game Harvest Moon.
By the way, while at that time the other kids around shipped either Karen or Popuri, I am the only one in my entire class and neighborhood both in Ambon and Bali (yeah, I move from Ambon to Bali in midst semester on 2005) who choose Mary or Marie is my wife in that game.
She sure is the least popular heroine, huh? 😅
I don't care, I really have have a soft spot for nerdy and bookworm girls, they doesn't necessarily wears a glasses, but being a megane girl is still a bonus for me.
Hey, even Katsura Kotonoha is also a bookworm too, you know?
