the sun's heat was heavier today than usual. he could feel sensitive skin burning. ellie, his comfey, was around his wrist offering support. later, she'd likely have to apply floral healing as well.

he approached the field, waving at his competition.

"heyo! i'm greyson. are you my opponent?"

expecting a positive answer to his question, he released his partner from their capsule.

He didn’t know how much of a mess he’d gotten himself into.

Either way, he was here on a favor—a friend’s favor to be exact.

The problem was that his battling skills weren’t as up to scratch as he thought it would be so—this would actually be a good idea for him to get some practice!

A cloud of vanilla-scented vapor trailed in his wake, before he looked up at the mention of his name.

“Ah, you’re Greyson then, I take,” he began, quickly turning off the object in his hands. He didn’t know how the other would take to him vaping while they were in the middle of a match.

“Yeah, that’s me. Lars, by the way,” he introduced himself, taking a deep inhale to hold the last of the vanilla-scented vapor as long as possible.

"lars," he confirms, reaching out with his hand in greeting. he didn't mind the sweet smell, nor was he bothered by the man using the vaping device in general.

to each their own.

"lily's gonna be my partner today," greyson says, pointing back with a thumb at the sylveon. "we're ready when you are. singles sound good?"

he waits for confirmation before moving into posiiton.

“Singles is fine, someone here needs to release some stress,” he tilts his head towards where his Gallade stood.

Normally he would have him and Lynette working together, however this time it was going to be a test run of the new moves he’d taught Gareth.

Especially after that fiasco in the Cave of Origin? Yes, he definitely needed to get some variety of moves for his Gallade.

Taking his position on the other side of the arena, he looked over to wherever the person officiating the match stood, before nodding.

“Ready when you are!”

greyson nods in affirmation, gaze falling to the sylveon.

"you're up. take control."

without delay, lily gets to work. the sylveon's body takes on a cocktail-blue hue before a gaseous substance rises and begins to spread. her MISTY TERRAIN envelopes the battlefield in moments.

then, just to be cautious, she summons a LIGHT SCREEN around herself. her opponent's species wasn't known for their special attacks, but, no harm in making sure.

she centers herself, lowering her body of gravity. lily would be ready when he came.

The terrain turned pink—it reminded him somewhat of a certain individual’s fairy dust, only—the screen that appeared a few moments afterward was what threw him off.

Safeguard? Reflect? Crap, I should really do a double-check on that… he thought as he tried to guess what the other one was.

“Gareth, Ka—Shadow Sneak!” he began, and the Gallade then stamped down a foot on the sand, extending the shadow he had, an attempt to trap the Sylveon across the field.

Whether it would work or not, he would then lunge forward, another attempt at a Drain Punch, without prompting.



Gallade used Shadow Sneak attempting to pin down Sylveon, and followed up with an attempt at Drain Punch!

in the rolling pink mist, shadows stand out like haunting caricatures. so when the gallade's own dark-passenger begins to move, greyson acts immediately.

"quick, move out of the way lily!"

the sylveon's feet leave the earth, the fairy-type strafing left in mid air— or at least, she tried. a DRAIN PUNCH follows right after, catching her in the mid-section. it carries a heavy force, knocking her back a few feet. when lily stands, she bats her eyes in her opponent's direction, her CUTE CHARM and charisma hoping to sweep him off of his feet.

taking advantage of the momentary distraction, her once charming eyes turn a cocktail-blue and a small-orb of energy forms in her mouth, before the MOONBLAST is fired off towards her opponent.

Unfortunately for the Sylveon, this Gallade was a one-Gardevoir Pokémon.

Lars knew perfectly well that the only one Gareth would bow down to was Lynette, and the shadow of a smirk crossed his face for the briefest of moments.

At least one of the attacks had managed to connect, before the Gallade crossed his blade-like arms together, summoning up his fighting spirit in a Swords Dance maneuver, skidding backwards in the process.

“Don’t lose your head!” he called to the Gallade, who looked back to Lars and nodded, before turning around in time to see that the pink Pokémon had fired off a blast of energy—similar to one of his Gardevoir’s best moves.

The Gallade blinked for a few moments, before conjuring up the fastest Protective shield he’d ever mustered—even faster than the one he’d summoned in the Cave of Origin.

Now the question was, would it hold?



Gallade used Swords Dance to raise its Attack, before conjuring up a Protect in an attempt to block the incoming Moonblast!

lily huffs, frustration boiling up as her CUTE CHARM fails. nevertheless, there was always next time.

she slams her paws down in defiance, flexing them so hard the nails emerge. her PSYCH-UP only strengthens her resolve.

lily looks up fast enough to see the lunar energy collide against the gallade's PROTECT, crashing on the shield like a tsunami.

then, it dissipates.

"change it up, lily."

the command is heeded, as the sylveon opens her toothy maw and sends out a piercing, echoing screech. her DISARMING VOICE covering the distance between the two at the speed of sound.

The Protective screen held, before shattering upon impact with the other attack. The Gallade kept its eyes on the strange pink-colored Eevee, before a sudden shrieking noise (at least that’s what it sounded to the Gallade) cut through the space, forcing him a few steps back.

“Are you going to let Lynette nag you again later?” Lars said to the Gallade, who rose up from the kneeling position it had been forced to. Shaking his head, the Gallade took a deep breath, before eyeing the Sylveon.

There was no way he was going to miss—right?

The dual-type then raised a foot—the only warning sign Lars had as he braced himself before a violent tremor shook the area—an Earthquake had been unleashed upon the area!



Gallade is hit by the Disarming Voice, before retaliating with an Earthquake attack!

greyson recognized the signs before lily could, a testament to his training with tank and chlo.

"quick attack to dodge it!"

as the earth erupts into chaos, the sylveon's enhanced reflexes aid in her nimble dodges. with the sand shifting beneath her paws, her QUICK ATTACK empowered movements are made more difficult. her concentration slips for a moment, but it's enough. a rock jets out of the fractured ground and lands a glancing blow against her chest. the momentum carries and she tumbles for a second, then two, before regaining her composure.

only with a stable foundation does she regain the confidence to go on the offensive.

see the effectiveness of her last ability, she only pushes what advantages she could. another DISARMING VOICE echoes out of her maw in the gallade's direction.

The Gallade remembered that the Gardevoir was a nagger.

A really nasty, bothersome nag. Who could nag for days on end whenever he got into some serious shit.

Lars’s face drew into a thin line, before he noticed that the Gallade had realized something.

“You know what to do!” he said as he crossed his arms, recovering his balance in the process. The Gallade barely had enough time to throw up another Protective screen as he rushed forward, crossing his arm-blades in the process.

If they had to end it, and end it soon, he had to get up close and personal—which was going to be difficult considering that the Sylveon knew a move that could easily bring him to his knees.

Once he had approached the pink Pokémon as close as he dared, he then lashed out with a close-range attempt at another Earthquake before vaulting himself up into the air from the momentum he’d used to lunge forward.



Gallade uses Protect to block the Disarming voice, before closing the distance and unleashing an Earthquake attack at close-range!

greyson's eyes thin as the gallade uses another round of PROTECT. it was troublesome; irksome, really. he'd need to likely keep the barrage up to get past it.

lily was no fool. seeing her attack fail against the gallade's aegis, she collapses the soundwaves and shuts her mouth. as it approaches, she uses another round of QUICK ATTACK to escape backwards from her opponent's EARTHQUAKE. being as the epicenter was closer to her this time, she found herself more injured than last from the jutting rocks. but still she persevered.

wrapping the remaining, fleeting remnants of her MISTY TERRAIN, she consumes it in pure moonlight, sending a blast of ethereal blue in the form of a MOONBLAST at her opponent.

Both of them were at the brink.

Gareth couldn’t keep dodging forever, and Lars knew that as much as the Gallade did. Seeing that the Sylveon was being a nimble little pest opponent, the next blast of lunar energy meant he had mere seconds to—

Pop.

A slight noise signified that the Gallade had Teleported out of harm’s way, but where was he going to end up?

Even Lars was wondering what Gareth was up to. While he had a pretty good grasp of how Lynette was in a battle, Gareth was the wild card among his main team—he didn’t have a full understanding yet on the Gallade’s thought processes.

So either he was being very crafty, or—

A sudden popping noise announced his reappearance, before the Gallade slammed both his feet down in a stomping Earthquake tremor as close to the Sylveon as possible—

While this would leave him exposed, they were pretty much reaching the brink.

Only one would win, but who would it be?



Gallade used Teleport to evade the Moonblast attack, and reappears as close as he can to the Sylveon in a surprise Earthquake maneuver at very close-range!

lily's attention bobbed left, and then right, in search of her opponent. the TELEPORT all but ensured the gallade a surprise attack, and she could do little to stop that, only feel the coursing anxiety through her veins.

when he reppears before her, her mouth goes to open, but the sound dies in her throat as a massive EARTHQUAKE erupts in front of her. shockwaves blow her back from the tumultuous earth, and after a moment, she collapses back into the ground unconcious.

from the other end of the field, greyson sighs, but gives his sylveon a warm smile. they had much work to do.

"victory is yours."
