s...ai?
G...y....a....o ^___^
X_x
Edward: Awwww Crud, hang in there Quickzlash
FlAsHdAnCe: Gyao :P
Edward: *on knees with face out of view* fine... i give up, just don't hurt him anymore, please.
.....
you have been warned, don't come back to this gym again, not until that flame inside you, that fire of victory, is extinguished, and you release your pitiful bugs.
Go...
*Five Minutes Before*
Edward: I don't know about this guys, are you sure we should go back in there? We were kicked out the last time we tried to fight in the weekly tournament, and the only reason we got out with our lives was the mercy of a certain gym leader...
Quickzlash: Scye scye scye ;__; *does a little whimpering thing*
B33Dr33 (the beedrill): Drill Beed Drill :P *hovers empathetically*
Edward: Okay fine, you convinced me, coming Capilee?
Capilee (the caterpie): cata pi cata ^__^ (looks around) ca? pi pi pI!!!! (hobbles quickly to catch up to others)
Edward: Off we go! To the Aquamaroon city gym :-D
*Soon afterward, at the Aquamaroon city gym*
Natasia: Okay, is everyone ready to start the tournament? I'll only be out for a few days, I love you all :D here's FlAsHdAnCe's pokeball, she'll be representing the gym, should anyone get through our top trainers. GiLlyFlOwEr and HoNeYmIsT will be escorting me to Celendro Island, did you remember to clean all of the sub-arenas? Good, they shouldn't have been dirty after only one month; you have to remember that you are the key disciple of our proud gym. And please, no more shameful defeats, they are blemishes on our pride. You have all that?
Kara: Yes Natasia, Gym Leader, ...Teacher
Natasia: You don't have to do that every time you reply.... though i do enjoy it *giggles* oh yes, here you go, make sure you treat her well *hands FlAsHdAnCe's ball to Kara* I'll be back soon, and if i get a chance i'll hook up to the gym's cameras on my laptop to check the battles :D
Karathought: Ah yes, soon all will come into order, the pieces of the puzzle will be rejoined, and I will take over this gym with an iron fist.
*Back in the Registration table*
Edward: Um, yeah, about that, my brother, who looks remarkably similar to me came into town that time, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be recognized and he used my name to enter that month's tournament. mmmhmm
Registration table guy: Uh.. i'm going to have to ask you to show me your ID, mister...(squints at entry form) "Dawu chader"?
Edward: Sure.... i left it back at the bike, lemme go... *throws a bag on Registration guys head* Cmon guys hurry up!!!
*Capilee, B33Dr33, and Quickzlash dash into the gym with Edward*
Registration guy: *muffled* darn, I always fall for that
*First Battle*
Mack: Go Zarlos, show the world your pride as a future dragon champion, Zarlos, the powerful dratini, GO!
Zarlos: Hac-ZaH!!! Ozzz
Unimportant gym trainer: Go, Fearow!!!
Fearow: CawRA!!! Caw
Mack: hehe, this'll be good; Zarlos, use Thunderwave to paralyze this fat bird
Zarlos: Zahh......... HA!!!! v^v^v^v^v^v^v^
Fearow: CawA!! ca! O_O
UGT: Oh no fearow, HURRY UP, fly to where that dratini can't reach you
Mack: Hah, your desperate flight is dishonorable and useless, you see, i knew that you would be knowing that the thunderwave paralyzed your fearow, thats why, when i discussed the battle plan to Zarlos, i told him to make sure to stick close to your fearows flank, he can sense its fear, and is pinning it down with wrap, just... as.. i... speak ;D
Battle Ref: Fearow is unable to move, and therefore unable to battle, the match goes to the mysterious Druid, Mack.
Mack: Thanks, but you know, you could hush up a bit about the whole druid thing. Anyway, its your turn, Lornox *takes ball from cloak* *unsummons Zarlos* *Releases Lornox, the onix*
Lornox: RueAAAA!!!! 0_0
UGT-thought: oh craaap, it takes up 3/4ths of the arena, I hope that my marill will be able to capitalize on its weakness to water
UGT: *calls back fearows* Go, Marill!!
Marill: Merr Illmerr!! ^__^
Lornox: Rue? ARH!!! (^)_(^)
MArill: MER MER~!!!!!!!!!!! O_o
Mack: Okay... thats pretty funny right there, mmmhmm lets try an Earthquake attack, i dunno, start at magnitude 3 then crank it up to 9 :P
Lornox: *looks in disagreement* ROARGH!!!! *slams tail on ground repeatedly*
Marill: Mer ill mer mer mer ill ill ill!!! roughly translated: Looks like i'm blasting off again X_x
UGT: HEY!!!! WHAT THE *BLEEPING* (runs to get his marill)
Battle Ref: :-x
Mack: I believe thats your cue to disqualify him for leaving the ring and the match.
Battle ref: yeah... what he said... *scratches head*
*In the adjacent Arena*
Battle ref: Wobbuffet is unable to battle, match goes to Edward!
Edward: Haha, no one expects good old Capilee to know any bug attacks, isn't that right? ^__^
Capilee: Reee Leee *string shots a cocoon and evolves into metapod*
Teddy: Beaten by a caterpie.... thats not good for my battle record :(
Edward: *wags his finger* nuh uh, you were beaten by my newest team member... um... Coonelly :-D
Coonelly: Meta... Pod Pod
Teddy: Oiii!!! I'll show that elf of a bug what for, Go Psyduck!!
Coonelly: Met-a-pod meta
Psyduck: sai ai ai sai
Edward: okay Coonelly, you gotta get in behind and--
Coonelly: *whacks psyduck out of the arena* Meta Pod ;D
Edward: hey, good job, it'd be nice if you'd pay attention, but its just easy this way i suppose. You must really hate being cramped up in that shell.
Battle Ref: Psyduck is out of the Ring, Match goes to Edward
Coonelly: Free!!! Buh FREE!!! *pops out of shell* ^___^
Edward: :( i really liked the name Coonelly, oh well, if you promise me you won't evolve again, you get to keep this name :p
Come back Butterlee!
Butterlee: FReee Free ^___^
Theodore-thought: okay slowpoke its all up to you, please don't let me down
Anime Cut scene thing where the screen splits diagonally into two triangles with a little synapse in the middle to signify pressure and spur of the momentness, two pair of eyes, one with glasses, one with eyelashes that are way too long, are in both panels.
Both voices: GOOOOOOOOOO (voice splits)
Teddy pulls ball from belt and twirls it upon finger, lets it drop, then kicks it into arena where it promptly opens to show Slowpoke.
Edward takes ball and throws it to the ceiling, where sky light opens up and a sparkle of glare casts onto the crimson red pokeball.
Edward jumps with a quick reflex and pulls a net from an unknown source, slices into the air, whirling down and slamming the ball into the arena floor, lands gracefully with a soft clap, knee down, hand to the floor. I SUMMON YOU B33DR33!
Slowpoke: S'LOPE!!!!
B33DR33: Drill...
Teddy: Slowpoke, use your psybeam attack!
Edward: B33Dr33, quarter circle to its side and jab it with your Twinneedles!!!
Slowpoke: (eyes aglow) SLOW.... poke... O_o{-}{-}{-}{-}{-}{-}{-}{-}
B33DR33: BLEE!! DRi... DRILLL!!!!
B33DR33: BEE BEE DRILL DRILL BEE BEE DRILL DRILL BEE BEE! (rapid jabs into slowpokes side)
Slowpoke: SLOW x_O POOOKE~!!@!!!
WHAM BAM WHACK CRACK!!!
Battle Ref: Two critical hits in a row, all of them super effective, which of these two will come out with their honor and still be intact?
LETS END THIS NOW!
Teddy: Slowpoke----Edward:B33Dr33-----Teddy:Use-Edward: Your-Teddy:BARRIER-Edward:PIN MISSLE!!!!
B33DR33: *Flies high into the glare of the skylight*
Slowpoke: *conjures up strength and plants feet into the ground, slamming them and causing slight cracks and ruptures*
B33DR33: WHAAAA!!!!!! DRILL!!!! *points bottom stinger to the small Pink pokemon on the ground*
Slowpoke: Suh.... low.... suh.... low.... *fading blue shield starts to form in front of Slowpoke*
Teddy: HURRY!!!
Edward: *Mutters* heh, you know what to do, make it so...
B33DR33: Beelee!!!!!!!! AI!! *thousands of stingers emanate from a gap space time continuum that was ruptured by B33DR33, secret technique of time hopping, used the warp to create and fire each, individual, quill-like, poison needle*
SlowPOke: Slow... *finishes concentration on barrier*
Edward: heres where my training paid off... *waits for the storm of needles to close in* *snaps fingers* it's time. 3----
B33DR33: DRAWILL!!!!! *Flits swiftly in front of the descending needles*
Edward: 2----
B33DR33: BEEZA!!!! HZA!!! *Raises fore-stinger in a punching appearance, looks like a jab to the shield*
Slowpoke: SLOW?! O_O *Begins to make shield larger in attempt to ward it off*
Edward: *smirks* 1 ;)
B33DR33: buzz :[ *Jabs the slowpoke, at his TAIL!!!*
Slowpoke: SLOW!!?!!! *crashes through barrier, shards of psychic glass splinter throughout the arena*
(Slowpoke is then rammed into the wall of poison needles, rendered unconcious)
Battle Ref: A close match, but, through the remarkable use of a Substitute/Pin needle combo, the victor of this match and round are Edward and his B33DR33, you will compete with the gym's representative pokemon in a 2 on 1 match with the fellow finalist over there as your partner against the absent Natasia's FlAsHdAnCe!
