Battles 36-40 are a mixture of filler, further fallout of the events of the fanfic, and advancements of what might ultimately resolve that.

Attila and Hun are a pair of obscure Team Rocket members from the made-for-TV anime movie / TV special "The Legend of Thunder!" Given this series' propensity to intermittently use historical figures, here's them beating up on their historical namesake.

Brazenly inspired by Blue Version Battle #24 by Gannon2000 and The Great Train Robbery by Edwin Porter. Jesse James is also in black and white here, though I didn't remember to make a gag about that. Maybe later.
Have Jessie and James beating up on their namesake. I still don't think I can do the Rocket Trio justice at all, either the original anime versions or the PB versions. This also has a lot of recycled Pokémon in-jokes, probably.

...
...
... YES!
Well what kind of sense does that make!?
...
...
NARRATOR ran away!

This battle was written as an example of PokéBattles for the Pokémon University Discord. But I decided was good enough (very short as it is) and it also low key sets up some other stuff. I may not be available on Thursday so the update comes now.

Smell you later!...
GARY ran away!

Taking potshots at something that became popular about halfway between the start of PokéBattles and the present. This battle's been sitting a quarter written in my buffer for a while, but with last week's battle and where Steve was last time, it's also sort of relevant.

BURIED ALIVE: Won't you join me?
Oh my gosh it's that thing. I thought it was 1999, not 2010...

Sweeeet.
...
...
...
...
...Sooo... Why isn't the battle done.
BURIED ALIVE: Oh, that's because my script doesn't actually have an ending.
BURIED ALIVE: So basically you either lose and I eat you or you win and I crash the game.
BURIED ALIVE: Preferably the former. I'm so lonely and I want fresh meat...
Wait what the heck aren't you supposed to be the Lavender Tower boss...
That's like super off tone.
BURIED ALIVE: I'm a badly written edgy ghost story, I don't have to be on tone.
BURIED ALIVE: Anyway, I'm gonna crash the game now. I'll be here when you reload, and I'll get you one of these times...!

HIBER threw BURIED SMOKE into HOCAKT!
Holy guacamole. Someone had an ax to grind.
HIBER: Okay, aside from the fact he tried to break the universe and I steadfastly refuse to do anything like past versions' apocalypse arcs...
HIBER: He could've at least pretended to have played the games. "Scripts"? "Models"? On a GameBoy?
HIBER: That said, I'm here to be entertaining, not go on an author tract.
TOO LATE!
HIBER used AUTHOR TRACT!
HUGE TRACT OF LAND fell on AUTHOR!
HIBER: Ow. Well, I asked for that.
So, uh... do I get the win for beating him or what?
HIBER: Yes. This battle's gone on too long anyway.
DARKSTEVE won!

Lord Sloth and Emperor Sloth were major characters of PokéBattles: Red Version, and Lord Sloth was also the author of Sloth Version and co-author of Slime Version, both available in the Amber Archive. Captain Sloth is tribute to Lord Sloth. "A Drop of Nelson's Blood," also known as "Roll the Old Chariot Along," is a very old traditional sea shanty.
