Now, now. Surely this has to be just a joke for the mighty Sorceress. They heard that Edea ran an orphanage so they sent a little boy to face her? What's with that? After beating two things that may well be overgrown farm animals, Edea is playing for keeps; she’ll soon be sending Ness to the nurse's office! Granted, while Ness may generally be a tougher opponent than the two Pokémon she dispatched, he matches up even worse against Edea in all ways that matter. He’s much slower, much less damaging, and can't even resist her brutal Death spell like those glorified pets. His strengths of status slinging, durability, anti-physical skills and plenty of healing won’t help him at all here. One quick Death spell, and Edea should have a clear path to the championship fight.
