☆ ro / genderless (he/him) / clear body / meteor mash, psychic, telekinesis, agility, bullet punch, magnet rise

He didn’t know how, he didn’t know why—

But non-traditional challenges were definitely more his style. Seeing as it didn’t involve much ‘thinking’ in terms of battling, well, he was free to pretty much use unorthodox strategies to get said badge.

And now was one of those instances. Man, he hoped he wasn’t too late.

Having flown all the way out to Dewford on the ‘Air Metagross’ express, his arrival at the Gym’s location meant that he didn’t have to recall the shining silver beast anymore (tireless as Ro was) and now…

What next?

At least he had the foresight not to wear the overcoat and the scarf because good grief, the weather was getting worse the longer the year went on. It was going to be summer soon—the season he dreaded the most because of the terrible heat.

Ugh. How he missed the Alto Marean summers… those were just right, not this constant ‘in your face’ year-round tropical weather!

Beau shades his eyes as he ambles leisurely up to meet the new arrival, features quirked into a crooked grin. "Hey, brah!" he greets, extending a hand to the man for a firm shake. "Name's Beau, good to meet you! You're gonna be..." he trails off a moment, brow furrowed in thought, before his features brighten and he snaps his fingers in recognition. "Mr. Anderson, here for the non-traditional challenge, am I right?"
[break][break]
Whatever constitutes further greeting on his part is interrupted by a loud THUD that causes him to turn. Further into the gym, by all appearances, a Rillaboom has just clotheslined a Pangoro into submission of his own accord. Shaking his burly arm with a grin, the Rillaboom reaches down to help the ursine pokémon up, though both freeze at the sight of Beau's incredulous stare. "Dudes, not in front of the guests!" Beau hisses, making a chopping motion across his throat in a swift gesture before turning back to Laurence.
[break][break]
"Sorry about that," he offers, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. "Those two are constantly trying to one-up each other. I can't say I blame them, I know that feeling," he grins.

“Yeah, that’d be me. And please, call me Lars. Don’t make me sound older than I already am,” he replied with a cackle.

At the sight of the Rillaboom and the Pangoro literally wrestling in the background, he held his hand up before waving it in a nonchalant reaction.

“Nah, I don’t mind that—let ‘em live, they’re Pokémon, hell even my own companions do that from time to time. Can’t force ‘em to behave all prim and proper all the time now, can we?” he continued with a smirk on his face.

Alpha had that tendency to do that more than Ro, because Ro thought of himself as the brains of the outfit, and Alpha the brawn. However today, it was Ro who was going to take center stage.

“So how’s this going to work?” he inquired, giving one of the shining silver beast’s legs a pat. “Cliff notes or give me the full details, I don’t mind, I’m here to enjoy this challenge with my companion.”

Beau grins broadly, gesturing to the open expanse of beach visible out the rear wall of the gym before turning and heading in that direction, a slight bounce in his step. "Stoked to start, huh? I would be, too!" He laughs as he navigates down a small set of wooden steps, moving seamlessly from the polished floors of the gym to the golden sands of the Dewford shoreline with an easy, practiced gait.
[break][break]
"Alright, guys, time to get some air time!" he hollers, cupping his hands around his mouth to project his voice across the course. In response, a half-dozen Pelipper take flight from various points around the beach and shallows. More noticeable once they begin flapping their wings, however, is that each tows a huge golden hoop beneath them that slowly spins in place, suspended from its tether.
[break][break]
The Gym Leader comes to a halt before a vertical climbing wall, its surface dotted with brightly-colored protrusions that evidently serve as hand- and footholds to assist in ascending it. "Easy enough to start you off with," he winks, pointing first at the Pelipper slowly circling in the skies, then to the wall ahead of him. "Little bit of a tandem effort, here. Your first obstacle is getting to the top of this wall, but be careful - some of those grips aren't as sturdy as they seem."
[break][break]
He shoots the silver Metagross a quick thumbs-up of encouragement, addressing it next. "Your job is to head up there and make it through all six hoops while your buddy there is climbing the wall. Can't miss a hoop, can't aim badly and knock it down, and can't KO one of my birdbrained brahs, right?"
[break][break]
He nods eagerly to the pair, taking a step away from the first challenge. "Whenever you're ready!"

To the Top! Rules

[break][break]
Challenging an Obstacle:

[break][break]
Challenging an obstacle requires a minimum of two posts per obstacle. After your first, Beau Fontaine will react accordingly if necessary before you post further, completing the obstacle.
[break][break]
As you are undertaking the challenge with Ro the Metagross, some obstacles may be terrestrial for Lars, and some may be aerial for Ro. As an example, the first obstacle features a relatively simple task for Lars, and more involvement on Ro's part.
[break][break]
You begin the Gym Challenge with five stamina points, representing the physical toll the course takes on you and your pokémon. There are three obstacles in total.
[break][break]
When you make your final post of undertaking the obstacle, you must roll. 1-50 represents a low exertion, causing you to lose only 1 stamina point. 51-100 represents a high exertion, causing you to lose 2 stamina points.
[break][break]
If you reach 0 stamina, you fall from the obstacle course.
[break][break]
[break][break]
Obstacle: Everything to Scale + A Surefire Ringer!

[break][break]
Lars' challenge for the first obstacle is "Everything to Scale". A tall rock-climbing wall stands between Lars and the first landing. Several brightly-colored protrusions offer handholds and footholds to help him scale the wall, but be careful! Some of them could simply be clusters of packed sand that will disintegrate under his weight!
[break][break]
Ro's challenge for the first obstacle is "A Surefire Ringer". Around the course, high in the air, six golden rings are held aloft, slowly spinning in place. Ro must demonstrate agility and accurate timing to circle the course and pass through each ring in order to progress to the next obstacle.

To the other man’s credit, Ro the Metagross had already affixed his burning red stare on the aerial obstacle, and then ‘chuckled’ at the sight of the Pelipper.

“He’s not going to attack anything without my word, trust me,” Lars said as they went down to the beach proper. Looks like wearing those hiking boots was a good idea after all…

“Give me like, five minutes.”

He then walked over to the shining silver beast, and gave the flat head a singular knock.

“You heard ‘im. Don’t attack the Pelipper. This ain’t Melody Miro’s gym, I trust you to clear the obstacle the best way you know how.”

A confirmatory grating noise came from Ro, before the Pokémon folded in his legs and effectively ‘reversed’ gravity, using Magnet Rise to launch himself up in the air while Lars made his way over to the wall.

“Ooh, it’s been a while since I did rock climbing,” he remarked with a smirk.

Once the silver speck was in the air, he whistled exactly once—and off went the Metagross through the air!

At the same time on the ground, he stretched his arms and began to scale the wall. Although, some of the handholds were actually a trap, but he didn’t know that, so… there was that.

Beau grins as Lars begins his ascent, though his attention is fixed on Ro the Metagross taking to the skies with remarkably little trouble for a half-ton of metal. Though he's not really surprised in the least, the Gym Leader is nonetheless pleased to see the first hoop dodged through, then the second, with a level of both aerobic cunning and timeliness that has him nodding in satisfaction, rooting for the larger pokémon's success.
[break][break]
His gaze turns to Lars, watching the other man scale the wall. It may have been some time since his challenger had done something similar to this particular task, but it didn't appear that he was going to have too much trouble with it in the slightest. Well...
[break][break]
He bites his lip to keep from calling out a warning as Lars' hand closes on one of the grippy outcroppings, and the lump of would-be stone dissolves into sand under his touch, crumbling down the wall and proving to be no handhold at all. "Watch your balance!" Beau quips encouragingly. Nah, the other man's got this.

He chanced a look over at where the singular hunk of sentient metal was flying—having cleared the first, second, and third aerial rings so easily.

Dang, why did Ro make flying look so fucking easy?!

Good job, I’ll catch up to you! he thought as he rested for a few moments on one of the handholds, dangling by the mere strength in his arms. The nearest foot holds were some considerable distance away, so he couldn’t rest his legs there, so…

Once he’d gotten his bearings, he then reached for one of the handholds not too far above him and then—

“Mamma mia!” he exclaimed as the handhold dissolved into nothing—thank fuck he still had his other hand on the previous one…

“Che cazzo,” he hissed as he looked around and then saw another handhold slightly above where he was right now. This was going to be quite the jump if he took the leap—but there was nothing else to it!

The Gym Leader regards Lars' ascent from his vantage point with a neutral expression, though the twitch at the corner of his mouth gives his amusement away. Though the handholds give the other man a run for his money, it's easy work for him to finish the climb and ascend to the top of the wall.
[break][break]
Beau glances skyward, noting that not one of his Pelipper are out of place, and he nods approvingly at the Metagross making a final lap around the arena. "Not bad, not bad!" he calls out, voice resonating across the beach with bombastic mirth. "Next one's a little more straightforward - just don't fall!"
[break][break]
What he means is quickly apparent upon reaching the top of the climbing wall - a narrow rope bridge stretches from the top of the wall to a small platform erected out in the middle of the water, swaying precariously with every errant breeze. In the waters below, a Swampert and a school of Wishiwashi circle, occasionally releasing jets of high-pressure water that clip the bridge planks, causing the whole array to judder and sway spectacularly. It will clearly take fleet feet and fleeter reflexes to make it across and stay dry!

OBSTACLE: BRIDGE WORK!

This obstacle features a rope bridge of wooden planks strung flat from one platform to the next. A rope runs along the center of the planks, while two are at waist level for Lars to hold and keep his balance. Take care, though! Beau's water pokémon are blasting geysers up from the shallows below - if one strikes, it's not liable to hurt very much, but it might be hard to stay on the bridge!

Thankfully, his upper arm strength was there to save the damned day, as he pivoted and swung upward. Too close to call, really.

Several more moments later, the silver speck floating in the sky above him looked down, and he heard a grating noise carried on the wind.

“Good job, Ro!” he called to the Metagross, who was now lazily observing the Pelipper that were flying around without a care in the world. He then wondered—what was Ro going to do, just watch him from up there?

“Oh, boy,” was all he could say next, seeing how—precarious—the next obstacle was. At least the fall wasn’t too far—or was it?

He knew he had to move quickly, because the random, peppering bursts of water coming from far below would hurt if he got hit.

“Here goes.”

Taking another breath, he then began the journey across the planks, his eyes on the lookout for any stray bursts of water. There was, alas, no pattern to it, so one misstep would definitely mean disaster—

He had to be careful.

The trek across the bridge is relatively simple to begin with, the rickety, swaying structure decidedly more stable at each end where it anchors to a platform. As progression is made, however, the bridge gets more and more unstable, and it is this that Beau regards with a mix of amusement and concern, curious as to whether the man will be able to stay on without keeling into the water below.
[break][break]
The Swampert and Wishiwashi duo keep a more or less steady stream of water jets angled toward the bridge, though none seem to be designed to strike the bridge itself, leaving it relatively unbothered but for Lars' own movements. One of the Wishiwashi in the school squeaks, however, the sound echoed by its innumerable kin as the group focus tightly on Lars himself, firing a high-pressure jet of BRINE aimed directly for him!

Crossing the unsteady bridge was easy—for now.

All it took was him watching the timing of the bursts of water, and avoiding those as he wound his way along. It wasn’t until he was halfway did he realize something—was there like, a time limit to this entire thing? Maybe for Ro’s part of the challenge there was, but his?

Oh, shit.

Now he had to pick up the pace!

He then began moving quickly across the shaky setup, before hearing that singular squeak—and then the water’s surface began to rumble. Violently.

Oh, fuck!

Beau can't help but to wince as the Wishiwashi's BRINE clips Lars on his final leg of the bridge, causing the entire assemblage to swing back and forth unsteadily, but the Gym Leader lets out a whoop as the other man manages to find firm ground on the platform at the other end at last.
[break][break]
The platform allows for Lars to catch his breath, but the final obstacle stretches out just beyond: a series of small platforms, barely big enough for Lars to stand on himself, are clustered together, raised from the water's surface on individual poles as they form a meandering walkway to the centre of the arena, where Beau stands beside a low pedestal. "Alright, almost there!" Beau calls, offering a jaunty wave. "Ro might be a little heavy for the platforms, but you'll need to make it across to grab the badge! Just be careful - some of those aren't as sturdy as they look, so try not to fall!"

Obstacle: Watch Your Step!

[break][break]
This obstacle features dozens of platforms that are only large enough for one person to stand on at a time - think stepping-stones on poles. You must navigate from your current platform to the next by choosing the correct path across these small platforms.
[break][break]
However: some of the platforms are deliberately tricky, and will swing wildly to one side or the other rather than support your weight! You may RP any difficulty you have with this in the manner you deem fit; the mechanical challenge is only in the stamina system outlined in the rules post.

What a mess he’d gotten himself into!

Oh and now the warning—

“Th-thanks, much appreciated,” he remarked through gritted teeth, because holy shit, he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to hang on any more after the first two—the earlier obstacles did a number so now his normally stable balance was teetering on one side because of the exhaustion that was creeping up on him at this point.

The shining silver beast, still levitating, let out an encouraging noise from where he currently floated, and all Lars could do was look over at the Metagross before sighing.

“Easy for you to say, you’re floating!” he called to his Pokémon, who let out what he recognized to be a snickering noise as he slowly, very slowly, like deliberately slowly began to navigate across the platforms…

Because one fucking misstep could land him into the water (and out of the challenge).

He’d come too far to give up now! Way too far, way too deep!

Can’t stop now!

Beau winces as he watches Lars begin his careful crossing of the platforms, not noticing the tension he's carrying in his shoulders until he rolls them experimentally, relaxing them and loosing a low sigh. The other man's previous challenges have taken their toll on him, and if he's not careful, he'll -

Too late.

Beau notices the platform start to sway as Lars advances onto it, tipping too quickly and too crazily over the water to allow even a chance of recovery after the other man's previous exertions. This...won't be good.

Your next stamina roll will result in a stamina of 0 regardless of the outcome! As a result, you will fall from the obstacle course and land in the water on your next post! What will you do?

TAG WITH @lars

And just like that—

The thing he was fearing to pass, actually happened.

Ro had sensed it before Lars did, and moved to try and catch him from the inevitable fall that was happening, but Lars shouted, “Ro, don’t you dare!” before giving the shining silver beast a certain look that made the Metagross falter for a few seconds.

“I know you want to catch me, but this is it, I know I’ve messed up big time,” he added as he lost his footing and felt his center of gravity shift. Much as he was also tempted to bust out the wings that were a part of his blessing, well, that would also constitute as cheating, wouldn’t it?

The Metagross let out another alarmed grating noise.

“I got this,” he continued—even though he had a feeling that Ro knew he didn’t, this was his nerves talking at this point.

Seeing as there may still have been a way for him to change the trajectory and the direction of his fall, he flipped over in mid-air, trying to make a desperate grab at the closest part of the obstacle course he could reach.

Lars had no idea if this was allowed, but hell he was determined not to crash-land into the water waiting below!
