How I accidentally won a pokemon tournament

I guess the plan was simple

Ludwig is the protagonist with hidden overpowered abilities he unlocks with relative ease

Stalling is the saddest way to win lmao, virgin play from Toph right there.

Every time he mentions how the coach made the team and also made him notes about how to play in almost every matchup i keep remembering the scene from yu-gi-oh of a kid beating Bandit Keith following the notes that pegasus wrote on a piece of paper.

"Man is a genius pretending to be an idiot"

When Ludwig thought he couldn't use sleep powder, it was like Rock Lee fighting with weights on. What a damn warrior

That was a really scummy play by Toph.

This was an entire shonen anime compressed into and hour

Anybody else remember how it took Ash over a decade to win a Pokémon league? I see no difference here. 22 runs btw

How could someone ever design a turn-based strategy game that REWARDS indecision and stalling? That's absolutely infuriating. And I really don't respect the poor sportsmanship of abusing that loophole. Such a sucky thing to do.

What i really love about this tournament is the fact that most of the audience thought that Ludwig would only throw and be for the gimmick of the event and the fact that Ludwig was the total underdog of the tournament, then Ludwig proved them wrong.

Ludwig: can’t beat a single nuzlocke in 22 trys Also Ludwig: makes the greatest clutch in Pokémon history and wins a tourney not knowing that you can put duraludon to sleep

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.

The stall strat was salty as frick and makes me feel like the player stalling was just that unsportsmanlike.

That Toph play and the only bringing 2 Pokémon in is such a lowball play by both competitors… like come on, glad Lud won

hey sorry for later upload me and my editor worked real hard on this hope u like :) Also big shoutouts to my coach jivetime i cannot give him enough credit and i dont blame toph i think he didnt realize the clock and just took advantage of a shitty ruleset would be pants on head not to <3

So Lud really does throw for content when it isn't serious, huh? Good to know.

Bruh his new hairstyle looks so much more natural on him, idk if its just cause im used to it but the new style just feels so much more fitting for his head

I come back every once in a while to see this perfect example of the hero’s journey
