Sawyer's Sceptile: Difference between revisions

Tierno then summoned his last Pokémon, {{p|Raichu}}, and ordered a {{m|Thunder}}, ensuring that, with the support of Rain Dance, the Electric-type move would not miss. Before Raichu could release her Thunder, however, Sawyer used his [[Key Stone]] to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] Sceptile. Raichu completed his attack, and Sceptile comes through it completely unscathed. Sawyer revealed that, as a result of Mega Evolving, Sceptile's Ability is now {{a|Lightning Rod}}, rendering Thunder useless. Sceptile charged towards Raichu with a {{m|Dragon Claw}}, and Raichu tried to counter with {{m|Focus Blast}}, but Sceptile slashed through the attack and landed the blow on Raichu, knocking him unconscious and winning the battle for Sawyer, making him the fourth and final semifinalist.

In ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', Sceptile was the final Pokémon chosen by Sawyer during his [[Full Battle]] against Ash in the semi-finals of the Lumiose Conference. Sceptile initially went up against Pikachu (who had already taken damage during a hard battle against Sawyer's {{p|Aegislash}}) and quickly knocked him out. Sceptile then went up against its rival Greninja again, who had now mastered the Ash-Greninja form. Greninja started the battle with a {{m|Water Shuriken}}, which Sceptile destroyed with its Dragon Claw. Greninja then summoned clones with its {{m|Double Team}}, which Sceptile wiped out by using Frenzy Plant. Greninja emerged unscathed from the attack, and used Cut to clash with Sceptile's Leaf Blade.
