    "Ya still not getting it, mate," Zac said, standing up from the judge's table. He walked out into the clearing, his Lurantis melding out of the foliage to stand at his side. "You've got to use the biome, "
    Lurantis leapt at one of the trees ringing the clearing, her scissor-claws opening and catching deep in the wood. She clambered up, ascending quickly. In moments, she had reached the canopy layer. The foliage here was already thinned from 's appeal, and with twin clean swipes O'Malley cut away a wide wedge of leaves. Sunlight drenched the appeal area, and Lurantis swelled, exoskeleton crackling and bulging as the insect drew on the power of the sun. 
    She raised one claw, and the petalled edge bled excess light. O'Malley brought her claw down with a swipe like a loosed guillotine. A solar blade cleft the clearing, its edge of blinding light hurtling towards Tsareena.

as the two slammed into each other the stench of burning toxins permeated their little corner of the battle field as croagunk and infernape exchanged hits. of course while the fires of majima were great he wasn't expecting the power of his opponents counter attack, catching the monkey off guard as the fist collided with his face and spiked him down to the floor where he was met with the rushing current of a river that didn't really soften the landing. instead he crashed causing a wave of water to spill out of the river and steam begin to rise from the surface as his flames were doused as the monkey floated back up on his back and angrily gazed at the poisonous frog.

kazimir could tell that his partner wanted to keep fighting, but fighting wasn't their objective, not the true one at least. their might would show that they are the top beast that can claim the jungle their proper lands to rule but they needed to win the hearts of others to prove that in this battle. kazimir shifted his gaze to the other contestants to see who he could use to achieve that, and that's when he spotted going after with his own pokemon, a lightbulb lit up in his head. "y'know we gotta thank you for that one mr senon, everyone knows that working up a sweat without proper breaks is bad for you, even a cool dip in the water can alleviate that while we wait to hunt some bugs for a snack right?"

his accentuated words caused the infernape to tilt his head in the water as he floated down the current and could see the lurantis and tsareena fighting with one another. lurantis were no bugs but they did remind the monkey of scythers that he would pick fights with back when he was a reckless monferno, so he could understand which target his trainer wanted him to go after.

so he waited, looking relaxed as ever as he drifted down the water close enough to suddenly tuck in his body and push off the bottom of the river with as much force as he could despite the resistance the water gave him while his trainer gave the frosting of the cake on their tactic, "JOURNEY OF THE MAGIKARP!"

water erupted in a geyser as the infernape suddenly dashed across the field to meet 's lurantis head on and block its solar blade with his own mach punch that was sure to be faster that its own swordsmanship.

Seeing a rustling from the top of the jungle Sénon's voice cut through the commotion. "For a non-apex predator in the jungle, its not about winning; only surviving!"

Crashing down from the treetops the Croagunk swung back in the fight from a vine he'd caught on the way down. "Being a survivor in this place means giving as good as you get!" His nubby-fingers slippery with toxic secretions allowed him to hold on just long enough to get into position.

"JUNGLE JAB!" On cue Dose dropped out of the sky delivering a nasty fall-breaking POISON JAB onto the Infernape.


It seemed he'd found his favored rival.

If he wasn't whirling from the poison before, the odds were increasing he'd feel it soon.

Concerning the Lumantis he didn't remember it from the initial presenters, so who was it. Did it really matter?

Looking around and vaguely wondering where that Liepard was Dose stood his ground; his body battle damaged from the burning smash of the Monferno and also having taken a few cuts from the angry petals that fighting-flower sent after him.

There had been no reactions to CHRYSSA THE JUDGE’s admittedly strange behavior in the contest so far.

...Maybe the contestants were distracted by the useful feedback from the other judges. Maybe they were worried about their own performances in the upcoming round.

Or maybe it just seemed normal for Chryssa to be speaking only via pre-recorded responses on a Chatot. Nobody had even batted an eye when Chryssa had shot a shower of stars from her open jaws in response to one of the appeals.

...Everything was going according to plan.

Imbiciles, came a high, clear voice-- but it wasn’t coming from Chatot. The teenage girl stood up on her seat and jumped up into the air, performing a backwards somersault before coming down on the judges’ table as a bright-eyed Zorua. “You’ve all fallen right into my trap.”




The Comfey that had been on “Chryssa’s” head flew up as a second Chryssa (this one wearing a neck brace) descended from the now-open tree canopy in a beam of sunlight. “Did you think twas I?” she crowed. The glow of psychic energy around her faded as she touched down lightly on the jungle floor, Comfey's crown of bromeliads settling around her head.

“Now that the incidentals are out of the way--” she said, raising a hand for Chatot to fly to. The brightly-colored bird alighted on her forearm, preening one wing smugly. “--We can really get started. I’ll start with you, Zachary Ramshackle, for disrupting my perfect introduction.”

With a finger pointed like an arrow, Alistair dove from her hand, dipping down to swoop past the green Lurantis’s flabby leaf-legs. The parrot tucked and flashed his wings as he swooped and harried in close range, using the bright colors of his body to dazzle the bug-shaped threat from the sides.

His easy-to-spot feathers made him a target, however, so when the Infernape interceded, Alistair had to veer away. Oho,” Chryssa said, bright eyes darting to  and “Three challengers, all in one place! It’s too bad all of your Pokemon have… eyes!

She pointed towards the sky and Alistair flared his wings, using the harsh sunlight streaming in from the hole in the canopy to disguise his position above the two, no, three dueling Pokemon.

“Feather Dance!”
Chryssa called, voice ringing with triumph. The feathers might not have much effect on the flaming monkey or a grass Pokemon, but they would stick to and impair the Croagunk with its naturally slimy coating. 

A rain of brilliant blue and pink pinions swirled down from the blinding sun as the Chatot zoomed away with another pre-recorded taunt.

<*squawk* You’re slow! Too slow!>

That was beside the point—

Guess he hasn’t had the displeasure of pissing off a Tsareena yet, has he, Lars thought idly as Caelia came to a stop.

“I know you don’t like following orders that go against your train of thought, Cae, but let’s not try to fall behind, shall we? he said to the Tsareena, who then gave him this incredulous look that was one for the ages.

“But yes. Let’s crank up the show...” he added a few moments later before he smacked his palm against his face. Damn it, some lines really didn’t suit him at all!

Looking through his fingers, he thought he saw the Tsareena give him a devious smirk before she propelled herself into the foliage above, quickly chopping down as much green, leafy canopy as she could spare.

As the leaves began raining down anyone (and everyone) close to where the Tsareena was last, another storm of leaves joined the shredded canopy—only instead of falling to the ground as the first batch did, these leaves scattered and spread out in several directions—it was an attempt at Magical Leaf!

More leaves joined the spreading greenery as the Tsareena kept to the branches above, cutting down more greenery (where allowable) and causing a state of confusion back on the ground.

"You've finally revealed yourself!" Doug uttered as he leapt atop the Judge's table, pointing dramatically at as she descended whilst showered in a golden light.

Yes, he was still at the judge's table! He had been feigning loud, unconvincing snoring noises until now, waiting for her to reveal her ploy.

"I knew something was up from the moment I saw you! The power seal couldn't just go away!" Doug said as he dropped to his knees atop the table, reaching under it with his tongue sticking out his lip before jumping back to his feet whilst swinging his arm in an arc above his head, throwing a black and gold fabric in the air.

It arched and unfurled, before falling over his shoulders as he crossed his arms over his chest.

As Doug called attention to himself through dramatics however... Something moved.

Maybe?

Maybe it was just the wind, moving a bush. Maybe it was just the imagination, making one think they saw something green blur past. Surely just vegetation, right?


With coloration that was nothing short of natural camouflage in the jungle's folliage and speed blinding speed, Kama the murderous Scyther materialized between the clashing infernape and Croagunk, poised to strike both in an acrobatic maneuver that brought her Scythes crashing down.

There was barely time to look around before a sharp blade came down threatening to cleave him in two.

Another pokémon he didn't remember from the start of the contest. Where were they coming from?

This one moved so fast it knocked weak leaves and dry branches from the trees that birthed them.

For a moment all Dose could do was dodge before using precise and rapid fire BULLET PUNCHES to counter the steel at the arms of the swinging bug.



As their metallic strikes collided it made for sparks on impact.

Suddenly, the fighting/poison-type was blessed with an idea.

Slapping his own puffed out vocal sacs a TOXIC mist was sprayed in the air. Using it as a distraction and cover Dose kept low, seemingly disappearing to leave the buggy and the monkey to fight it out.

While the former distracted the latter, Dose landed on the back on the Infernape, cheeks full, a bundle of sticks in hand wrapped by thin vine.

With the Steely Bug lined up Dose held the tip of the bundle between his mouth and the headflames of the bigger-monferno. With a spew of his Toxic Mouth, the flames reached out threatening to catch the big bug on fire and lighting his bundle of sticks.



When he had what he wanted he leapt away into the trees for cover, looking to isolate a fight with whoever came after him.

Sénon having watching most of this and realizing as primarily a fire-trainer, Dose, one of his most utilized pokémon must have picked up the basics of how fire works at some point.

"With some predators being more aggressive than others..." Given the Croagunk was mostly improvising his fighting by now he tried to throw in lines to add cohesion to their display. "-using your surroundings and sometimes even your opponents to your advantage is key to survival!"

Well, at least she was out of the way of everyone else—at the moment.

Lars could only look on as the fight seemingly became something between the Infernape and the Croagunk—he didn’t want to get involved in the crossfire at all. Looking up to where Caelia was still perched in the foliage, he wondered if she was thinking on the same lines he was.

“It’s a mess. Might as well add onto it, right?” he said to the Grass-type, who cackled before slicing down more foliage and making it rain down where most of the fighting was going on.

To conceal her drop, the Tsareena then released a sickeningly Sweet Scent in an attempt to throw everyone else off their guard, before dispersing the cloying scent with an Aromatic Mist.

“Everyone’s getting worked up,” he hummed to himself as the Tsareena came in with a two-point landing, before cackling for a few seconds and then propelling herself up into the trees above everyone once again.

He would watch, and wait…

    Zac's Lurantis launched a scything blade of light down into the melee, just moments before it was completely bodied. It started, as most things do, with a monkey. 
    "JOURNEY OF THE MAGIKARP!" shouted , as his Infernape leapt across half of the clearing. Infernape's jump was wreathed in rippling, kung-fu waters, and it dove straight for the incoming solar blade, matching it with a mach punch.
    's Croagunk bounded after the Infernape,  fists glistening with poison as it chased the flaming monkey. 
    Lurantis tried to break away, to fade back into the foliage. She was an ambush predator, not a confumate brawler like these fighting types. She needed to hide and strike.
    A high, superior voice echoed through the clearing.
"Imbiciles, You’ve all fallen right into my trap.” 's voice said from the judging table. No, wait.  The whole time it was the girl's Chatot that had been speaking, and this voice wasn't coming from the body at the judging table. Chryssa still sat at the table, but the voice had come from above.
    Suddenly, the Chryssa at the table stood up and backflipped away from the table, transforming into a Zorua. 
    Zac frowned. He looked up, to see Chryssa descending through the foliage in an aura of psychic energy. “Did you think twas I?” She asked, and Zac sighed. "For a single, fleeting moment I really did." 
    “Three challengers, all in one place! It’s too bad all of your Pokemon have… eyes! Feather Dance!” Chryssa called, as she  pointed up at the fight. Her Chatot soared in for an aerial assault, peppering the trio with feathers. 
     <*squawk* You’re slow! Too slow!>
"Ah! Damn bird! Time for plan Z, O'Malley!" Zac called, and his Laurantis shuddered with excitement. Plan Z was O'Malley's favorite. Just because she was a brittle insect, didn't mean she had to stay that way. The mantis lashed out with her bulging claws, swinging the blunted backside at Infernape and Croagunk like massive bludgeons. It was an exhausting technique, but O'Malley's Contrary left her feeling stronger after each attack! Sunlight soaked into her veins, and the Lurantis grew in size and strength, soon looming over her competitors. 
    Now at her max size, she flipped he claws back over to the sharp side and attacked with a Dual Chop! One massive claw each for Croagunk and Infernape

...What?

She was being ignored?

The cloud of multicolored feathers cleared, littering the clay like fallen flower petals. In the face of greater threats, like Doug's Scyther or the great swathes of foliage being cut down from above by Tsareena, the three fighting Pokemon-- Lurantis, Infernape and Croagunk--hadn't even glanced up.

Insulted as she was, Chryssa's reaction was deceptively mild. She tilted her head to the side. Her anger was passing-- she had all the power here. They had to impress her too.

"Why, ! I don't think they're taking us seriously," she said, dropping into a lilting Southern Belle accent. "You too, Zac Rabble-rouser. Watch carefully." She snapped her fingers, pointing up again. Alistair beat his wings towards the sky-- then he veered away into the trees.

"There's actually three levels to a rainforest," she said to no one in particular, counting off on her fingers. "The canopy, the understory, and the forest floor."

Where had Chryssa learned that? In fourth grade when they'd studied jungle Pokemon. Honestly, were all these people so far away from their school days they couldn't remember that much? 

Perhaps a predator bird would have excelled attacking from the canopy and vantage, but Alistair was a Chatot-- he was built for clinging to tree bark and weaving between tree branches. He was a creature of that middle place, and to impress Chryssa, a contestant would have to beat her there.

The rapidly opening and widening clearing was not the place he could best show his talents, so the judge's bird retreated. He swooped up, catching onto one of the hanging vines and hanging upside down in the fork of a tree. His pendulum-tail wagged and he opened his mouth.

<Crrrr-crrr! Whoosh! Cheep-cheep-cheep!>

A tapestry of jungle noises escaped the parrot's neon yellow beak, camouflaging his location with sound where he failed with coloration. The rumble and boom of distant Slaking. The rush and bubble of water. The cries of birds and insects.

"I want to see a predator in action. Can you find my Chatot? Or will you fail, and weather my scorn and your own ineptitude?" the girl called to the contestants, voice ringing with challenge. 

Unless someone had been watching her-- her, Chryssa, and where the Chatot had disappeared-- it would be difficult to pick out the swinging bird from among the jungle CHATTER.

the dual chop wasn't an easy move to dodge when it was a two on one situation that majima found himself in as the croagunk attacked from behind and the lurantis from the side. if he hadn't been slammed into the ground he would at least have taken solace and a chuckle at seeing the croagunk get attacked as well for being too close. "guess your buddy was a little too eager for a real fight huh." kaz teased playfully at , giving the man a wink, "c'mon majima! show them that that ain't enough to put ya down-"

encouraging words were interrupted by the sudden appearance of the real ?! surely that sweet squawking judge from before was the real her right? right?! either way she and her parrot seemed to be mocking the three rowdy ruff boys as she disappeared into the canopy with her burn, taunting those below to try and find her which put a smirk of kazimir's face as his infernape's gaze scanned where she disappeared and the constant sounds above him.

"a game of hide and seek? sounds fun little miss judge, and majima's quite skilled at hunting down prey, so prepare to be burned by our flaming jungle spirit! right majima?!" the monkey started to screech as he pounded the earth as he got back to his feet and chased after and her bird, hopping onto trees until he found himself a nice vine to grab onto and swing right under it as the flames on his head erupted and he let out a fire spin that bathed the lush green canopy in its heat as he twirled around on the vine like a circus performer hanging on by a thin cloth. "like music to the ears, this JUNGLE FEVER MIXTAPE!"

Things had gotten quite chaotic! Eva and the small Bellossom had become lost in the commotion which meant they weren’t the brunt of the attacks, which was great, but they had also lost the spotlight. Eva and Summer needed an in.

At luck would have it (or fate or whatever) challenged the competitors to seek out her Chatot. Eva wasn’t one to back down from a challenge. She stepped forward with a wide grin, “We may not be predators, but that doesn’t mean we can’t hunt!” she prefaced, pointing towards the canopy of the Jungle Biome, “Draw ‘im out and drain ‘im!”

The small Bellossom shimmied, letting another burst of pink fogs leak out of her flowers. The breeze quickly dispersed the SWEET SCENT. It wouldn’t just target the Chatot, the tantalizing scent would draw all the creatures of the jungle out to her.

Although a grass-type, she was predator in a sense. The Bellossom had an eye for energy and MEGA DRAIN to steal it for herself.

|MjlUESH

Notes: Summer uses SWEET SCENT to try and draw out the Chatot whom she will then try to MEGA DRAIN cause she’s a small savage <3

[attr="class","tctext"] The judge's criticism was harsh to hear, but it didn’t dampen Rowan’s spirit. The positive was that they did enjoy how natural cypress was that much was to be expected. He was also ecstatic to be awarded the best best biome performance. A pleasant surprise, and well deserved in his opinion.
[break][break]
As soon as the second round started things got quickly chaotic.. honestly Rowan was a little baffled of what to do. He did not consider himself to be a trainer in any way, he wasn’t sure how well he’d do this round - but there was one thing he knew for sure; he couldn’t just stand around idly. A glimpse towards Cypress who gave Rowan a firm nod signaling towards the towering trees that surrounded them - an idea came to mind.
[break][break]
After all he was rewarded with the best performance! Why not impress them again by using the biome to their advantage, that’s what it was there for after all. “Let’s do this Cypress! Soon as Rowan said that, the serperior would slither onto trees it’s regal eyes glaring at the opponents who fought on the ground.
[break][break]
There was a brief moment of profound confusion displayed on Rowan’s face as one of the judges did some impressive backflips away from the judges table and then transformed into a zoura.. honestly he was to dumbfounded, out of all the judges the only one that seemed normal was Zac Ramsay, he found the young girl the strangest out of all three but never really mentioned anything to be polite. Once again it seemed that the Tarzan man was causing quite the ruckus, Rowan caught a few glimpses of his monferno fighting with the croagunk; but this wasn’t time to focus on other people’s fights. Rowan needed to focus on standing out - that was a problem in his previous performance after all.
[break][break]
The refreshing smell of Eva’s bellosom would draw Rowan’s attention, he realized it was a good chance to show what he was made of. Just above them, hidden in the forest’s dense canopy. Cypress too noticed the bellosom thanks to the sweet scent. “Now Cypress!” Pointing towards the unsuspecting summer, Cypress leapt from above, tree branches and leaves shaking down below as it did so. The sepreriors regal eyes began to emit a threatening glow, glaring down at the bellosom as leaves and twigs would flow besides the Pokémon. “Leafstorm!”
[break][break]
Upon command, Cypress released the move sending the collection of leaves and branches towards Bellosom.

“A-hahaha!”

Far from dismayed, Chryssa spread her arms at the sight of flames engulfing the tree where her Chatot had been perching. “So! I see you couldn’t pinpoint my exact location,” Chryssa said smugly, floating (how was she doing that?) to a safer place away from the drifting embers.

She settled down again near and the other trainers on the sidelines, brushing off her skirts. “But an area attack is quite clever, I think. Flushing us out of the forest like an Unfezant hunt, hmm?” Her eyes gleamed. “It just might work.”

There was less fire than there was smoke— the water-filled jungle plants didn’t light up the way a dry woodland biome might, but they weren’t fireproof. Black smoke boiled from the vines and branches, forcing Alistair to take flight in search of clean air. 

And he found it— a sweet breeze that seemed like a breath of hope in a suddenly on-fire world. The parrot dove through the smoke towards the Bellossum’s Sweet Scent and shuddered as green light consumed him. <Deadly! Steamy! Teeming with life!> he croaked. He’d fallen right for the trap of a carnivorous plant— the jungle’s most-underestimated.

There was a flash of red light as Chryssa recalled the Chatot just as he hit the ground. She spun, another Pokeball in the opposite hand with her skirts flaring in a perfect arc. “One down. Clever move, Doctor ... if that is your real name,” she said, giving a dismissive flourish. 



Another Pokemon was released into the dissipating smoke, and this one had no issue blending into the jungle. The Dartrix’s eyes were closed, its beak slightly parted. As a nocturnal Pokemon, it was currently asleep. 

That wouldn’t stop him, of course. 

Remnants of burning vines and leaf litter illuminated an unlikely opponent— the Serperior, perfectly camouflaged in its natural habitat. Bellossom’s Sweet Scent had attracted it down from the trees. The flurry of movement from its deadly Leaf Storm seemed to trigger some unconscious response in Iver and the Dartrix turned, expressionless.

Without spreading his wings, without doing more than turning his head, the Dartrix summoned a swarm of leaves in return. Breaking from the trees themselves, the LEAFAGE scattered towards the serpent, revealing its location.

The SWEET SCENT did it’s job, drawing not only the Chatot out into the open but also the Serperior which had been rather quiet up until this moment, “Look out!” she warned the Bellossom. Summer looked up towards the sky to see the fellow grass-type barreling down on her with leaves and branches in tow. The CHLOROPHYLL boosted Bellossom was quick to react. Her small form dashed away through the brush of the forest floor and into some more flowery foliage to conceal herself. Stealth was still a desirable trait in a hunt.


The doctor threw a playful grin. She liked this judge’s spunk!


Summer shifted uncomfortably in the smoke settling on the forest’s floor. Naturally, fire was not a grass-type’s friend. From the shadows of the underbrush, she eyes the new winged opponent settled on her turf. Without the ability to really climb or fly, the Bellossom identified the jungle’s floor as her territory. The best way to keep the owl grounded and available for her feeding pleasure? Paralysis.



With a distraction led by the Serperior, Summer used her boosted speed to dash through the underbrush and closer to the opponent. Without wasting time she rushed past Iver, releasing a cloud of paralyzing spores in an attempt to keep it from fleeing her harem.

Notes: Using the coverage of the forest floor, her petite size, and boosted speed, Summer attempts to sneak up and uses STUN SPORE on Iver!
