Sootopolis, what madness brought Oscar here once more? 

Oscar had challenged the Sootopolis gym once before, seemingly a lifetime ago. That gym leader was now dead, apparently a casualty in the same battle Oscar took part in at Lilycove. The news was disappointing, even if it did pave the way to Oscar's future triumphs. He had great respect for the late Alexander, he wondered if his successor would live up to his legacy.

Oscar didn't really need gym badges anymore. He had accomplished his original goal, so any further victories were just dressing. He couldn't deny though that he found the thrill of a gym challenge to be a welcome escape from the monotony of every day life. Plus it was a good way to gauge whether or not his pokemon had been trained properly. 

So as he found himself in Sootopolis on business, he decided to visit the gym in his down time. As he stood in the lobby, signing up for the challenge, he ad to admit that one of his options looked intriguing. He decided to forego a proper battle, instead opting to try this unique offering. He wondered how his pokemon would stack up, in fact he was rather excited to see. 

While he waited for the attendant to retrieve him, he carefully chose his team.

Melody had received another challenge, another bullet hell request! Awesome! Melody got to choose the genre this time! Melody skipped happily along the halls of the gym wondering who exactly she was going to meet today. It was rather hard work being a gym leader, she was at least happy she got to still play music and even share it on a more personal level!

From Oscar's perspective, an attendant would greet him at the door and bowed before speaking. "Please provide your form of identification please!" After verifying the ID that Oscar provides he'd be ushered in and given a VIP pass for that day. "Head down the hall all the way and you will find melody waiting for you." The hallway was long and dark before the light suddenly turned on and the roof was open. It seemed like it was a pretty tame day, no one really came to watch today which was good because Melody didn't want anyone at risk of a stray attack hitting them. Melody was dressed in casual wear, a crop top with some joggers put on and flip flops. "Yo!" she waved from the stage as she kicked her feet.  "What kind of music do you like? Also please present your team for the challenge for me!" she asked out of sheer curiosity to try and get a read on the man who stood before her.


 

OOC Explanation: Welcome to Bullet hell!  In this post your char will summon the Pokémon they will be using for the challenge!

Basic run down of how it works, during my posts I will describe the attacks coming your way and who will be targeted with the attacks! You then will reply with your way to defend or dodge! Get creative as melody will be judging you based on how your Pokémon team works together and how you connect with your Pokémon during the battle!

You will at least need one Pokémon survive but even if you fail the challenge because they all pass out if melody thinks you guys have strong enough bonds she may pass you. However if you prove to her that you have a horrid relationship with your Pokémon then she also reserves the right to fail you as well!

Oscar was lead to the gym's arena, where the gym leader was waiting to greet him. She seemed affable enough, seemingly trying to learn a bit about Oscar before they began. Oscar smiled as he responded, "Good morning Ma'me, I have to say your challenge is very unique." One by one Oscar released his pokemon, six of his sturdiest defenders. If they couldn't withstand this challenge, no one could.

As his six combatants walked forward, Oscar tilted his head with an amused expression. "My favorite kind of music is symphonic metal, I wouldn't blame you for being unfamiliar with it." This Melody girl didn't seem the type to have an extensive range in music taste, but Oscar knew never to judge a book by its cover. Once his pokemon were in position, Oscar took his place at the far end of the arena and nodded. 

"Ready when you are.

Song playing during challenge


A hole on the stage opened up at the snap of melody's finger, this guy was pretty interesting so far. The way he talked and walked was rather unique himself. Of course him handing out compliments was also a bonus that served to boost her ego a bit. She liked that her gym challenge was so unique, of course a bunch of gyms required big and flashy moves to overcome large hurdles. But did any gym really teach people how to dodge  or block said attacks? NOPE! This challenge was meant to encourage that.

"Yeah, no, never heard of it at all. But a unique genre for a unique challenger I suppose." she said playfully, she was well aware of symphonic metal but felt like misleading Oscar a bit. She analyzed his pokemon for a bit, huh he had some interesting pokemon. "Prima,toxi high and low, rila, kricki anddddd Explo!" she called outloud as her pokemon ran from behind the stage and rolled up onto the stage.

He then uttered the words, the go time ones. Melody sat down at the piano and her same arm that she snapped her fingers within earlier activated the speakers as music began to play. It was symphonic metal music, It was obvious how she was messing with him now, acting as if she didn't know but it was a genre she frequented and dabbled in. Now for the bullet hell to commence! Primarina started off with a dazzling intro of wide spread sparkling aria on ALL of his pokemon and to follow up, both toxtricities used overdrive to also back up the vocals and piano, one was aimed at greninja and the other was aimed at araquanid. Slowly but surely the drums also joined the battle from rilaboom as it used taunt on wobuffet  by making a...rather rude gesture at it and having Exploud follow it out with a massive screech for echoed voice. Lastly but not least kricketune was going to be supporting melody's piano with it's bug buzz fired at blissey.

Well this instantly became too much.

Oscar's team barely had enough time to form ranks before the onslaught began. Oscar spoke firmly but with encouragement, "You can do this! Remember your training!" The attacks came, and the team reacted accordingly.

THE TAUNT: Deliverence waddled to and fro, trying to find his best positioning. Alas as he looked upon the enemy team, his eyes would immediatly be drawn toward a rude gesture being performed by the gym leader's Rilaboom. Deliverence twitched, the effects of the taunt immediately taking hold. His blood boiled, and he became filled with determination to win this battle.

--Deliverence can only perform combat moves for three turns.

EVERYTHING ELSE: While Deliverence found a new rival, Facilier the araquanid stormed to the front of the line to protect his teammates. He slammed his legs down as the wave of attacks spread ever closer. A large wall of light formed in front of him, taking up the span of Oscar's team's side of the field. The opponents' attacks were all meant to hit multiple targets, so this Wide Guard would grant Oscar's team a brief reprieve. The next turn however, they would be on their own.

Seemed like the only move that really worked was taunt huh? Surprising since she didn't even know Araquanid was capable of using wide guard. Nice moves! Good encouragement! "Muy bueno mr but what would you do to handle this? " However was he going to do it again? Simply spamming wide guard was no fun! Melody decided to try and force him to adapt then. What if she focused all the attacks right on araquanid then? "Everyone jump em!" she said pointing at the araquanid. The pokemon continued to play their "instruments" and singing their respective roles "1-2-3-4" she clapped her hands to the beat of the song as her pokemon attacked to the beat of the music and moved along to it as they played.

Kricketune fired a sticky web to try and trap the araquanid from dodging, Toxtricity's amped form fired a sludge bomb, Rilaboom fired a boom burst Exploud fired an echoed voice at araquanid and primarina fired an icy wind at araquanid. Toxtricity lowkey form was the one who was behaving differently though, it seemed to be using charge instead. What was it planning?

Facilier: The wily arachnid was feeling pretty smug about protecting his teammates earlier, made him feel a bit like a hero. That very smugness melted as the gym leader's pokemon directed an onslaught only at him. If he could make facial expressions, he would look downright terrified. Nevertheless he wasn't overly worried, after all he just needed to leap into the air and--

A spider web stuck him to the ground, preventing him from moving at all. Facilier wiggled wildly, unsure what to do. Then came the words of his master in his head, "Remember your training." Facilier went still, a glowing pink aura enveloping his body. He would only get one shot at this, so he had to make it count. The Sludge Bomb came first, but its impact would bring no harm. The dreadful goo would be absorbed into Facilier's Mirror Coat, which glowed brighter as a counterattack was prepared. He would use the stored attack immediately, aiming his head downward and unleashing a burst of psychic energy at the ground. The blast would launch Facilier upward, ripping through the web and launching him above the storm of attacks.

Once again Facilier was feeling smug about his clever thinking, until he realized that he was a bit too high and now had to fall just as far. Gravity took its course, and while a well timed Liquidation buffered the fall, Facilier would still end up painfully bouncing behind his compatriots. He finally landed on his legs, wobbling back and forth as dizziness washed over him.

Everyone Else: Sure Facilier launched himself over the attacks, but many of them would continue onward to attack his friends. Forced to think quickly, Oscar's team would spring into action. Walter could have used Wide-Guard, but he feared the gym leader's pokemon dog piling him next. Thus he decided to simply use Baneful Bunker, shielding only himself from the attacks.

Viscera strangely leapt toward the attacks, white smoke covering him where they should have impacted. The attacks instead hit a pokedoll left in his place, a tricky Substitute made from his own vitality. The same white smoke would appear again after the attacks had passed, returning Viscera to the battlefield.

Grief opened a portal behind itself, sinking through it while staring directly at the gym leader (Phantom Force). Who knows where the fuck it went. That left Deliverance and Mercy II; the wobbuffet was closest to the front, so the attacks would reach him first. When the Boomburst came close, it seemed as if Deliverance had nothing up his sleeve to avoid damage.

EXCEPT HE DID!

He threw on his own Mirror Coat at the last moment, as it was a damage attack unaffected by the Encore from the previous round! Inspired by Fecilier, Deliverance would aim his own stored attack toward the ground and leap over the attacks! Except Wobbuffets are as graceful as tyranitars and he only went three feet before landing on his tail. The Echoed Voice and the Icy Wind blew him to the back of the arena, his pained cries echoing across the walls. Mercy II was the only one without a way to completely avoid damage, so quite simply she wouldn't. Stomping her feet to take on a defensive stance, Mercy II would throw out a Light Screen to buffer the blows and endure the pain of the remaining attacks.

And thus round 2 passed.

Melody's theme




'Alright so let's see let's see...' Melody said to herself mentally as she saw the results of her attacks. So to handle the sticky web and the sludge bomb in one go he used mirror coat huh? A smart decision! This araquanid must be the defensive one of his team as it knew wide guard, mirror coat. Where her attacks on the creature failed, gravity succeeded as araquanid's liquidation seemed to not be enough to buffer the fall. [break][break]



The other pokemon were using their own defensive moves to cover themselves, ah yes that was quite the response she expected from them. Typically when people confronted this challenge that was their line of thinking so what would happen then when Melody had an answer for it? For now it was an acceptable answer, but what would happen if they were faced with a z move? Most attacks that defend against other attacks crumble at z moves. [break][break]



"While your training is evident on araquanid, one of your Pokémon should have naturally moved in to try and save him." she said with a concerned tone "However I do like your creativity in dealing with that onslaught, turned my own sludge bomb against me was good thinking!" as she gave the Pokémon some praise for his quick thinking! A lot of them began to just use their own protective moves to defend themselves. No no no! Teamwork was key here! Melody pondered for a sec wondering what she could do to force them to work tog- When suddenly an idea came to her. "Alright you guys! Time for a symphony! Let's see a measley mirror coat or wide guard send this back!" as her Pokémon cheered in agreeance. This time her target was Greninja, the one who used substitute and her Pokémon could easily handle that. [break][break]

"All of you! SYMPHONY ATTACK GO!" As her pokemon raised their respective instruments together and all used their soundbased moves to damage Oscar's team. Both toxtricities used overdrive together, further enhanced by low key's form being charged from the last round. Her primarina and exploud leant a hand by adding hyper voice attack to the onslaught, kricketune lending a bugbuzz and rilaboom used boom burst. She wanted to see how the entire team would handle a sound based combination attack that was too powerful for one single defense move.

Oscar agreed with the gym leader. If they were going to win this, his pokemon had to act like the team they were. As the next onslaught began, Oscar took a moment to correct his soldiers. 

"Hey, she's right you guys know better than to work solo. Team work makes the dream work, remember your training."

Oscar's team looked to each other, gathering closer together to take on the onslaught as a team. It was time for the defense to make a melody of their own!

TEAMWORK: Grief floated down from the ceiling, having hung out up there since he reappeared with his Phantom Force. None of teh attacks could harm him, which meant he could focus fully on supporting his team. He took a comprehensive look upon the battlefield, using his ghostly sight to find the weakest point of the attack (Mind Reader). When Grief moved positions, the rest of the team followed.

Mercy II provided Life Dew for the team, healing them up from of the damage they took earlier. Deliverance and Facilier took center stage, using Mirror Coats to deflect half of the attack. When their defense began to fail, Walter jumped forward and stuffed the two into his shell to protect them with Baneful Bunker. Walter looked stuffed to the brim, but his sturdy shell would not budge against the strength of the attack.

Viscera jumped in front of Mercy II, once again becoming a doll with Substitute. Mercy II caught the doll, and using Walter as a buffer held out the doll to buffer the attack. The physical aspect at least, the actual sound of the attack was horrific Mercy II would attempt to protect her hearing, using Disarming Voice to drown out the cacophony.

Yes! Yes! Much better! A better rhythm can be forged if there's more band mates in the show! A big improvement! Melody clapped "Very good! Yes!" His Pokémon were listening to him and adapted on the fly and worked together. That's exactly what she was looking for, she wanted to see if they could keep it up though. [break][break]

His love for them was also apparent in the way he spoke to them, she could feel his love for them and the love they had for one another. Toxapex's baneful bunker was a good maneuver to, protect the more vulnerable pokemon, even opting to hide them with it's shell! Wobuffet and Araquanid combing mirror coats was also proven an effective strategies as the overdrives bounced off of the mirror coat combo launching electricity and sound into the sky! [break][break]

The life dew was also a nice touch to recover the hits that DID land on his Pokémon,  being able to recover from a misstep was important in battle. However, some missteps do cause you to lose a beat for a few moments, the substitute was successful in being deployed but the sound attacks bypass substitute's protective abilities and barely being held back by the disarming voice. [break][break]

Thankfully due to Greninja taking most of the hit, and blissey's disarming voice she took a lot less damage than she should have. This was where things were going to get difficult. She paused her attack for a moment as the music slowed "A misstep is fine, in the heat of battle you need to be flexible and quick on your feet! Make a decision!" she advised Oscar.  Melody called out her next set of attacks, the music notably changing a bit and becoming more aggressive. "Taunt, sticky web, echoed voice, icy wind, throat chop, and hex!" she called out wondering how he was going to recover as her Pokémon were warmed up and ready to go![break][break]

Oscar was satisfied with his team's strategy--all the way until Viscera used substitute. He sighed, poor guy didn't know any better. The sound attacks railed against the greninja, and when the substitute faded Viscera would fall to his knees. Mercy, who wasn't spared her own taste of the attacks, waddled to his side. She helped him stay on his feet, but it was clear that Viscera didn't have much energy left.

The gym leader spoke once more, and again Oscar agreed with her. "Viscera!" He called out as the next wave was prepared. "Mistakes happen! Win or lose what matters is learning from them! Victory comes from adapting!" Viscera nodded, politely moving out of Mercy's grasp. He had little left to offer, but as long as he could stand he would not give in. Oscar smiled, "I'm proud of you guys but we still have a ways to go! Adapt and push forward!"

His pokemon once again rallied, jumping into action as the next attacks were given. Mercy immediately moved to heal the party once more, but she found herself unable to do so. A dark tug pulled at her heart, drawing her attention toward the taunting rillaboom. She huffed, angered at her sudden lack of usefulness. No--she was wrong. There was always a way to help in battle, she just needed to adapt.

Meanwhile Viscera felt cold claws wrap around him. He turned his head to find Grief clinging to his back, before he could protest Grief dragged the ninja into a dark portal to protect them both (Phantom Force). While those two avoided trouble, the others would find themselves swimming in it.

Unable to hold his charges under his shell, Walter would burst open and sent Deliverence and Facillier flying to the sides. Walter prepared to close up again, only for the Sticky Web to latch around him. Webbing was tough and elastic, forcing his shell flaps upward. Facillier and Deliverence saw this and jumped in to aid their teammate. The would attempt to cast another Mirror Coat--but something was wrong. The auras wouldn't fully form, they needed to rest their energies to continue the technique's use.

Facilier and Deliverence looked to each other, nodding as they knew what must be done. They huddled around Walter, preparing to block the attacks with their bodies. They cringed as the moment of impact approached, only for them not to feel anything. The two looked up, and found that the onslaught was moving around them. Turning to look, they would find Mercy shielding them with her body.

Her thic wide bod provided ample protection as the wave of attacks passed them by. As the attacks faded, Mercy would look upon her comrades one last time. With her final shred of energy, she would give them a hearty salute before collapsing. Her time in this battle was done.

The attacks were flying everywhere, oscar surely saw why this was called bullet hell. Normally people would fire back under this intense situation but as he would soon find out it's why this challenge was called hell as his blissey fell down unable to continue the battle. He'd find that a gardevoir would use teleport and take blissey into her arms and teleport her back over to behind oscar to recall her and then vanish with another teleport. [break][break]

"She will handle any Pokémon passing out suddenly." she explained as she smiled that the challenge was well underway now. She was getting eager, this was just the middle part of the song. Onto the next section hm? It seemed like the taunt was all it took for most of their strategy to fall apart and now blissey was out of the picture. In turn despite that he seemed to be encouraging his pokemon not to falter in the face of an overwhelming opponent. Good! She then doled out her next commands. [break][break]

"mosh pit!" she called out simply as her pokemon jumped off the stage and swarm around his pokemon. To her left, both toxtricities rushed over and fired off sludge bomb and overdrive. Rilaboom took front and center with drum beating as the vines from it's drum set flew towards his party. Exploud and kricketune rushed towards oscar's team on melody's right side and fired off a echoed voice, enhanced from previous use  and kricketune used bug buzz. Primarina stayed on the stage seemingly prepping for something with melody, whatever it was it was clear it was going to be a big attack.

A bead of sweat rolled down Oscar's forehead. He wasn't even doing that much, but still he felt the pressure. These waves were relentless, and if they were going to make it through this his pokemon would have to use every trick they knew. Oscar withdrew Mercy when she was brought to him, thankful for her effort. Without his healer though, this battle could go south fast.

The wave was sent, and without any time to take a breath Oscar's team burst into action. Grief and Viscera reappeared, just in time for an attack from Rillaboom. Grief had a better reaction, using a swipe from his claws to push Viscera out of the way (Metal Claw). Witnessing this, Oscar slapped his forehead, "Grief, you could have just pushed him!" Grief looked back, the vines passing through his body. Naturally he didn't quite understood what his master meant, and Oscar just sighed. "Good effort just, don't attack your allies please."

Viscera was clawed clear, but the weight of the attack splayed him out onto the ground. He slowly rose, every muscle in his body screaming. He couldn't give up, he couldn't let his friends down. Not when they've come so far already. He looked toward his three allies up front, and slowly limped toward them.

As the opponents swarmed the field, the front trio had to think fast. Walter opened his shell, shooting out a large swarm of needles to smash the Sludge Bomb in mid-air (Pin Missile). Facilier grabbed Deliverence by the head, causing the surprised punching bag to flail in a panic. Using Deliverence's springy body, Facilier flung himself toward the ceiling. He clung on as he impacted, crawling between bars to keep himself safe for the round. 

This left Walter and Deliverence to fend off the remaining attacks. Walter had few ways to defend himself, and Deliverence was quite aware of this. Once again he shimmied in front of his teammate, using Mirror Coat to tank as much as the attack as he could. As Walter watched the brave meat shield protect him, he would soon feel a strange figure coil around his shell.

Walter was pulled back, the tongue of Viscera whipping him to the back lines. The ninja let go as Walter rolled to safety, launching himself forward to kick Deliverence away before his defense broke. This placed him right into the line of fire, and as the onslaught ripped through him Viscera would let out a defiant cry toward the heavens. 

Unable to take any more, Viscera would collapse. Another one down.

It seemed like Oscar was fully understanding why she named this challenge after hell. His Pokémon were collapsing one by one and he was quickly running out of options as well. While his Pokémon DID make a goof, it was noble in melody's eyes that it was willing to go so far to clear it out of the way of the attack and it had worked! However how long would the rest of his team survive? [break][break]

They were all surrounded now and they would surely start to crumble away. Melody's next set of orders came in! "Everyone! Rondo!" she ordered as they all understood the meaning of the word. Her Pokémon all prepped their "instruments." and used their respective signature sound attacks, sparkling arias, overdrives and bug buzzes and uproars! Oh my! How would Oscar's pokemon react next?

"Ho-ly shit." 

Oscar barely had enough time to withdraw Viscera before the mother of all waves was sent their way. Up until that point he was very confident in his pokemons' ability to use their training to make it through the fight, but this absolutely called for some trainer intervention. Oscar threw out his hand dramatically, booming over the sound of--sound--s.

"Ultimate Defense! Steadfast wall of resilient fury!" Oscar found that his pokemon responded very well to over the top technique names. It helped them memorize formations easier. His team heard his command, and they immediately took on defensive positions.

It was time for their ultimate test. 

From his place above the battlefield, Facillier would use Wide Guard to create a massive wall of protective energy. Walter used Wide Guard as well, and from his grounded position he would position his wall to connect seamlessly with Facillier's. The combined Wide Guards would provide a formidable shield, but they would need extra support to withstand the force of the incoming attacks. 

Grief floated to Facilier's position, taking a stance behind him and supporting his teammate with his claws. Grief was a bit of a lightweight though, so to add to his fortification effort he began spewing horrible cursed mud from the opening in his back (Mud Slap). The propulsion of the mud would help Facillier maintain his position as he held his wall against the attacks.

Deliverance went up behind Walter to do the same, pushing against Walter's back with all of his might. As the attack impacted against the walls, Deliverance would help withstand the mighty blow with an unusual strategy. The force would shake through Walter as he held up his wall, and Deliverance used Counter to direct that force behind them. This burst of power would surely help keep the two propped up.

With everyone doing their part to help, Oscar waited to see what would happen next.
