[@whenelmoattacks]

This is the actual plot of a tourney anime: Battle 1: Long time trainer, incredible at the game. Protagonist suffers an immediate loss, how can they bounce back? Battle 2: Personal rival, uses sketchy tactics to win. Looks hopeless for protagonist, but they pull it off by learning how to use the opponent's shady moves against them. Battle 3: Starts a filler battle, but turns out to be one of the most terrifying battles. The protagonist must be out now, right? Wrong. The protagonist has a broken overpowered secret ability: The Ludwig Gambit. Battle 4: The beginning of the finals, champions only. Dealing with the best of the best. The protagonist shows his true ability in this fight, easy win, he has a chance. Battle 5: The best of the best. The Pokemon master. The protagonist has no chance... or does he? Using the skills and strategies he's acquired this far, it's possible, but things begin to look grim after the first round. But wait... what's this? The words of his mentor echo through his head, and he takes the second round. The third round looks hopeless. It was a good run, but it's over. Unless... the protagonist discovers the his true power and uses the Ludwig Gambit in full effect, and he does. Victory.
