Bothell Beartic Vs. Longview Lickilicky

Brothers turned rivals was the theme of the Bothell Beartic and the Longview Lickilicky match as gym leaders for the respective gyms, Kenneth and Darian, faced off. Darian has just begun his adventure in the PDL and has centered his team around powerhouses Kingambit and Primarina. Coming off of a hot finish from last season, reigning champion Kenneth made his debut this season ready to go back to back ready to face some of his former pokemon along with some that helped him win last season. This match was set to be a good one.

While expectations thought this match might go longer, Kenneth proved why he was the champ last season as the Beartic were able to give the LickiLicky the cold shoulder. Wolverine (Sneasler) diced up the competition with a new look but the same destructive results as it had for Kenneth’s team last season. Paired with early round pick Funky Kong (Rillaboom), the two made a devastating team. The LickiLicky seem to have bitten off more than they could chew as their Opening season match could not have ended how they Wanted too. Despite offensive efforts for the aforementioned Kingambit and Primirina, Darian and his team were unable to get any momentum moving for them. As competition runs in their blood, neither trainer comments after the game as only next week’s matches were on their minds. The LickiLicky face off with Bebs of the Longview Ludicolo, while Kenneth faces off with Avery and the Ballard Bulbasaur.
