Battle Notes: Fern having the story role he does, beating each team with just one Pokémon was very satisfying. All 3 were rerecorded shortly before uploading due to more audio issues, but this didn't fade. 1. The first line goes double for beating a team called Contrarian with one Contrary Pokémon. This was easily the trickiest out of the three, as Malamar has to land 3 Superpowers on Empoleon to have enough Attack to clear the rest. Getting frozen was unexpected, but luckily didn't pose a major issue. 2. In the original take, Delphox used Flamethrower on Whimsicott and Trick Room to counter Tailwind. The end result was the same without this, so that was skipped when re-recording. Retribution and Delphox were chosen to match segments in some older stories. 3. (Like most of the protagonists,) It is physically impossible for Venomoth to smile.
