It's here, the last match of the Quarterfinals! They were battling rivals in their youth, but Oak eventually quit battling and focused on his research instead. Agatha never let his betrayal go, and now that he has returned to battling, she has come out of retirement to settle the score once and for all. Special announcement in TOMORROW'S video! Hope you guys are hyped for a new tournament development :D Don't forget to Susbcribe to help us get to our ultimate 100k goal!
okay if I'm being completely honest here I started watching this true power Ceres because it randomly showed up on my Recommended one day. Now I am completely invested in this series and yelling and screaming in my car rooting for Oak as he who makes it to the quarterfinals. Well done Silph Spectre well done sir
Maybe Agatha was so disappointed when Oak decided to go into research because there was no one to challenge her and better herself as a trainer. Imagine her team if Oak continued to be her rival over time.
That was legit such a good battle. I didnt think it would be but both players played that match to the best of their ability. Like legit whoever's behind the controls there, props. Both sides did their mf thing
nah agatha could have won this, her mismagius could have used a second nasty plot instead of thunder wave and a third nasty plot instead of the first shadow ball, that would have powered it up enough to one shot venusaur while also setting it up to one shot the rest of oaks team as they are all slower than mismagius.
@@windhelmguard5295 I was thinking Oak should have doubled up on dragon dances back to back also rather than one then getting burned then another, so I feel you
This series is AMAZING I’ve witnessed matches that are more entertaining than VGC matches. The diversity, the intenseness, the canon matchups this series needs to be trending!!!
*SPOILERS* For those who are not up to date with the full results thus far! The semi-finals are so hype and seem like they could go either way in terms of results. You have Red vs Giovanni, who obviously have a heated past and with fan theories even stating that Giovanni is Red's real father, for one final rematch post-Team Rocket. You also have the Oaks in Blue vs Professor Oak to prove, in this blood battle, if the student has truly surpassed the teacher in a generational match. If the outcome in the finals ends up being Red vs Blue then you have the rematch for the ages pitting both former Indigo League champions for a final battle to see who is the better Pokemon master. If it ends with Red vs Oak you have another battle with the mentor and their student as well as a battle with your rival's grandpa and a dream match simulating what was supposed to be the final battle in the first generation. Blue vs Giovanni being a battle between the current and the former Viridian City Gym Leaders while also representing both rivals of Red. Or Giovanni vs Oak that of dark and light and an extension of the evil and corrupt syndication of the world against the knowledge and spirit of the Pokemon World. No matter the outcome I think we will all be surprised with the outcome and it'll all make for an exciting narrative. Can't believe it is almost over!!!
one of the best battles so far. Got pretty hyped during this one not gonna lie. That 2 hp live by blastoise was GOAT plays. Can't wait for the next one Silph
Found this series within the last two days. I, personally, love watching competitive pokemon battles and this series is great for it. So much so, that I can have it on as background fodder in the worst case scenario and still root for my preferred trainer (RIP Sabrina) thanks to your phenomenal commentary. Keep up the great work,
paralysis is used more for speed control than the 50% chance of being paralysed. if the 50% is the thing you want, it should be used along side confusion status. that is why parafusion strat was so obnoxious. but even so it was a bit unrealiable. and that bit of unraliability is what made that strat being used almost exclusivly by pokemon with serene grace and a flinch move. think of jirachi and togepy last evo as much as you want
Oh my goodness, I never had this much excitement before in any pokemon battle ever before even if was not physically playing, one of the best matches ever on TH-cam, thanks Silph. Waiting for a sinnoh elite 4 best team .Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez

This battle showed off the high agecof their respective trainers well. Oak's Venusaur is so slowed down by it's age that it didn't even realized it's paralysis and the "unbelievably still alive" moments on both sides were fitting as well.
This series has been so good and I am excited to see how the semi finals turn out. Great work! I would love the chance to get to fight against some of these teams for my own channel!
A legendary battle indeed! I know it'll probably never happen but I would love to see a day where they would make a movie or TV show based around Professor Oak's beginning years as a Pokemon trainer. What an nostalgic adventure that would be!
Too good. Giovanni vs Red in the semi is another match with lots of history. And Oak with blue too. Would we see Red vs Blue for the championship once again??
that battle was awesome, idk why i was more shocked blastoise lived than marowak (i assume cus he was already weakened) but both of those survivals and in turn kills felt like the tide turned on both. great battle.
Great match but Oak really needs someone with Protect on his team, the amount of times in this tournament he's Leech Seeded something and just had the free chance to protect and get life is crazy.
Oak: *Reading entries in the Pokédex, reaching Mew’s, who appears and playfully circles around Oak* Agatha: *Slams her cane down and marches forward* Agatha: I’ve been waiting years for this fight Samuel Oak: *Puts away his Dex* Oh Agatha, I won’t disappoint you like I did years ago Agatha: *Sinisterly Smirks* You better not

Again: update Cynthia’s true power. Masters shows she has a Kommo-o
David Cappadoccia really?
Nazeer Sadek indeed. The story is that she raised it from an egg and got a Sygna Suit.
It’s power is somewhat shown against Cyrus and Palkia.
David Cappadoccia oh that’s interring I stopped playing masters when the red banner was over so around 6 months ago lol
You planned this, you absolute mad lad of a loremaster.
The rematch we've all been waiting for. The prophecy fulfilled.
And It Was AWESOME!😆
Yea this battle was a battle for the Pokémon ages!!! 😎🤩
okay if I'm being completely honest here I started watching this true power Ceres because it randomly showed up on my Recommended one day. Now I am completely invested in this series and yelling and screaming in my car rooting for Oak as he who makes it to the quarterfinals. Well done Silph Spectre well done sir
Same here, i was just like
Oh nice pokemon Team Kanon concepts
But later i was just frantically addicted to those fights
SAME
Same!
Maybe Agatha was so disappointed when Oak decided to go into research because there was no one to challenge her and better herself as a trainer. Imagine her team if Oak continued to be her rival over time.
Thinks about vegeta after goku died*
When Majin Agatha loses to Professor Oak still and reactivates Buu.
Oh boy time to roll out the walkers for this geriatric match
Oak is only in his 40s
David Cappadoccia Agatha is around Oak age as well
Yeah but they feel elderly to me I guess
Will Whitehurst they didn’t age well lol joking aside I think they had to deal with some series shit growing up which left a mark on them
I remember there were elderly comments on Agatha vs Blaine, now not even Oak gets a break... y'all are relentless
That was legit such a good battle. I didnt think it would be but both players played that match to the best of their ability. Like legit whoever's behind the controls there, props. Both sides did their mf thing

@@windhelmguard5295 she should have won anyway, one of those paras should have stuck lol
I'm surprised it didn't have mystic fire
@@ericbristow2601 yeah that would have done the venasaur in for sure with that nasty plot
Come on guys, lover's spat in the middle of my tournament? Who is selling the popcorn?
K N lol
Very Underrated Part of All This Is How You've been able to get the trainer sprites to look really close to their real counterparts. Well done!
His reaction when blastoise survived on 2hp. My God got me hyped
This series is AMAZING I’ve witnessed matches that are more entertaining than VGC matches. The diversity, the intenseness, the canon matchups this series needs to be trending!!!
This was the most interesting quarter final. I love that Oak won. Its true to the lore of Oak being undefeated in that rivalry.
Agatha: If it's you, it's OK.
Ok this might take the most hype match of the series award. But then again i've said this a few times already lol
Notification gang. This series is my favourite at the moment.
Venasaur didn't care about that paralysis one bit did it lmao wow
Mismagius: ~uses Thunder Wave~
Venusaur: "Is there a draft in here?"
Venusaurs are like the honey badgers if they smoked a little green. They don’t give a fuck.
@@scottbursey6545 damn dude...... I gotta get a honey badger
@@scottbursey6545 spot on. Venusaur doesn't give a shit. Black sludge, leech seed, giga drain, it ain't going nowhere!
@@Pantherblack 👏🏾😅

Just the Kanto teams.
I guess in the inevitable Johto tourney, Koga Lance and Bruno will get a redo
Nah, they just took a break.
One of my absolute favorite channels/series! That one was CLOSE! Please make more of these tournaments for each region if you can!
That was extremely shocking and unpredictable! If that Brave Bird had KO’ed Blastoise, though, I’m pretty sure Agatha could’ve won!
Giovanni vs. Oak final with Mew and Mewtwo being the last two Pokémon for each incoming
one of the best battles so far. Got pretty hyped during this one not gonna lie. That 2 hp live by blastoise was GOAT plays. Can't wait for the next one Silph

This battle was incredible! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Blue, Giovanni, Oak and Red. That is true Kanto Elite 4!
mega gengar: exists
Arcanine: im boutta end this man's whole career
It was a draw. He took down the gengar but at the cost of his own life. He ended his own career lol. Life orb is a blessing and a curse.
If Agatha swapped to arbok and let it take the flare blitz she would have won
@Jerry Smith but mew had just about half of its HP remaining. She definitely could've won that.
@Jerry Smith Shut up, Jerry. 😂
In all seriousness, I think Mega Gengar would have outsped Mew and taken it down.
can you come up with anything less original to say? didn’t think so 😒 your comment was cringe af
Red
Blue
Oak
Giovanni
The fact that these are the semi-finalists is frankly just breathtaking.
This battle was wild holy crap.
Thank you for making this spectacle! :)
This was the best battle of Pokémon I have ever seen. I literally gasped out loud on more than one occasion at some of those survivals
Bowser: "It's hag vs hag! AWESOME!"
What I'm learning from this tournament is that that Paralysis is bloody unrealiable.
paralysis is used more for speed control than the 50% chance of being paralysed. if the 50% is the thing you want, it should be used along side confusion status. that is why parafusion strat was so obnoxious. but even so it was a bit unrealiable. and that bit of unraliability is what made that strat being used almost exclusivly by pokemon with serene grace and a flinch move. think of jirachi and togepy last evo as much as you want

I have never been more excited for a series! Great content and great channel!
I’m absolutely loving this series!! Really hyped for the semi finals
This battle showed off the high agecof their respective trainers well. Oak's Venusaur is so slowed down by it's age that it didn't even realized it's paralysis and the "unbelievably still alive" moments on both sides were fitting as well.
This series just keeps getting better and better!!
Oak Vs Agatha just Like Red v.s. Blue
Between this and MandJTVs MML there is so much Pokemon content to look forward to, and my soul is happy.
This series has been so good and I am excited to see how the semi finals turn out. Great work! I would love the chance to get to fight against some of these teams for my own channel!
this battle was the one I was really waiting for and glad the wait was worth it
This match was insane! Best one of this tournament so far IMO !
Red vs Giovanni, Blue vs Oak.
One is a destined battle, another is a battle of destiny.
Can't wait for those 2.
Man, this would be a hype Animation battle to see in the pokemon anime. This was hype🤩💖
this is one of the matches that make me understand why people cheer while watching sports at home.
More screaming at my phone for this battle 😂
I'm waiting for this since the beginning and it was amazing! What a great battle! ♥
*Shows a picture of a pokemon
OAK: WELL DONE
*Shows a better one
OAK: WONDERFUL!
A legendary battle indeed! I know it'll probably never happen but I would love to see a day where they would make a movie or TV show based around Professor Oak's beginning years as a Pokemon trainer. What an nostalgic adventure that would be!
jeebus what a battle. that was hella intense can't wait to see more. amazing work.
Too good. Giovanni vs Red in the semi is another match with lots of history. And Oak with blue too. Would we see Red vs Blue for the championship once again??
Love the backstory behind this match, great execution
That was a good battle! Very well done!
This tournament really highlighting specialized types is not the way to go.
@himode No arguments here. Erica and Sabrina proved that at the very least. But our top 4 is Blue, Red, Oak, and Giovanni (using a varied team).
I love these good narration too thanks for the vids man
i think this is the best one so far both in lore and the actual battle omg
These have been some very entertaining battles.
Great smart plays all around. That's quality entertainment.
that battle was awesome, idk why i was more shocked blastoise lived than marowak (i assume cus he was already weakened) but both of those survivals and in turn kills felt like the tide turned on both. great battle.
That Blastoise tanking that Brave Bird was crazy!
I was on edge the whole battle great job!!!!!
This may have been the best one yet!
Oh yeah, I'm pumped! What an insane battle!
WOW now that was not what I was expecting!!!!
That was a fantastic match! I cant wait for Oak's next match!!
10:02 When he said "ohrRIOOHHHHH" I felt that
This was the best one yet by far.
I wonder if the trainer with the lower base stat total ever won
Gary beat lance who has like 3 psuedo legendary lies and Gary just has 1 and a mega.
8balln8 killingu65 Idk how red beats mewtwo and Mega Kangaskhan
Oh... my word what an amazing battle 🤯
sooooo EXCITED TO SEE GIOVANNI VERSUS OAK THE BATTLE ALL OF US AT THE AGE OF 10 YEARS OLD WANTED THANK YOU SLIP SPECTRE
What a well booked semifinals. Giovanni against the man that decimated his organization. Oak against his grandson. Looking forward to this.
Silph providing those butt clenching battles as usual
I like to think that their Blastoise and Crobat have history from back in the day.
I'm in love with this series!!!!! I'm excited for jhoto matches and true power!
Great match but Oak really needs someone with Protect on his team, the amount of times in this tournament he's Leech Seeded something and just had the free chance to protect and get life is crazy.
I’ve watched the series 3 times waiting for a new video
This was the best battle so far, I fucking love this channel
A rivalry matchup DECADES in the making. Amazing match, amazing trainers, Oak brought it home though. I wonder if he will win the whole thing?
Man, that battle is INSANE!
This is the best thing any one has ever done I really hope to see you so them all
Which game/system is this?
This match is probably a glimpse into the past at one of their battles from their younger days
What a fight this was.
Comments are good for the TH-cam algorythm.
Am I crazy or did this video already come out?
Find someone to animate this. This was a GOOD match.
Oak vs Agatha was the most expected battle. They had to have a rematch from their youth
Worth the Hype. That was top tier.
no it wasn't.
Ive been waiting for this!!
this tournament is so freaking awsome the battles are so intens great job
Extremely close. That was awesome
Feels like 1955 again!
I am so hyped up for this game already. Go Agatha and her para-flinch team. She is so underrated
Best battle yet!! Living on 1, living on 2!!
Best battle of the tournament so far !
This was the best in the series !!!!
Wow! This is one heck of a match!!
Next matches are red vs giovoni and blue vs oak
This is too perfect
Agatha vs Samuel Oak
What a decent match they have here, glad it became a reality and not just what we see in the main series games.
I have a question,how are u doing this
Multiple cartridges and 3dses 3dsi? I don’t know
9:13 when i take a rock solid shit and flush but the water is rising
10:02 when the water starts to hit the floor
11:16 when the poop hits the floor
Oak: *Reading entries in the Pokédex, reaching Mew’s, who appears and playfully circles around Oak*
Agatha: *Slams her cane down and marches forward*
Agatha: I’ve been waiting years for this fight Samuel
Oak: *Puts away his Dex* Oh Agatha, I won’t disappoint you like I did years ago
Agatha: *Sinisterly Smirks* You better not
This is going to a clash of Kantonian Legendary Trainers.
That was an excellent battle!!
