If anyone's interested, at the end, in the last match, the first critical hit was from a Stone Edge. The second one was a Waterfall, but there's about a 50% chance it would have KO'd without the crit. Still ridiculously lucky, though.

@SlvrSmrai759 Ah, yeah, it was kind of a hard thing to explain... Sorry about that! >< I think I communicated it well enough that it was insanely lucky.

Is this Tony or Andres? Haha.

[SlvrSmrai759]

@timeflies51 Tony. And no worries, it would have been hard to film that last fight, sorry neither of us saved it.

[timeflies51]

@SlvrSmrai759 Don't worry about it!

The best part about being an adult is having the power to do all the awesome things you wanted to do when you were a kid. This is so awesome!

@SlvrSmrai759 We were going to cover the Elite Four regardless of whether Morse came back or not. We initially thought that he wouldn't be allowed to come back, but when we found out that he would be allowed to challenge to E4, I texted him and encouraged him to come (and bring his girlfriend), so he did.
