The Fortree Rescue & Treatment Sanctuary was the last place Zev expected to find a Pokémon gym, but that was exactly where he ended up for his first gym challenge. The hitman had never intended on pursuing Pokémon battles seriously, considering it more imperative to hone his own skills.[break][break]

However, the humiliating incident with taught him one thing: even if Zev himself was a strong and skilled combatant, his Pokémon — his tools — had dulled and rusted. He needed to sharpen them to readiness, and if that meant battling professionals, then so be it.[break][break]

And so he walked through the facility, toward the area designated for gym battles. He'd called ahead and made an appointment. Upon his arrival, the receptionist in the front lobby gave him directions on where to meet .[break][break]

Dressed in casual clothing and wearing the bright-eyed, easy smile of a normal civilian, Zev greeted the gym leader with a raised hand. "Hey! I'm Zev. I'm here for the gym challenge."

He was outside—feeding some of the other avians that were circling around by throwing birdseed into the air (well, he was kind of making it rain only in reverse, if that made any kind of sense) before the door heading out to the open-air arena opened, and then closed not too long afterward.

“Oh, c’mon Jack, you didn’t tell me they were here already!” he said into the earpiece, before hearing a cackle of laughter as he turned around and the shadows overhead dispersed.

“You’re here for the traditional battle, correct?” he began as he crossed the open-air arena to shake Zev’s hand in greeting.

“Two on two singles, right,” he confirmed a few moments afterward.

Little did he know that whatever he was packing along was going to give him quite the damned-ass fright the moment they appeared on the challenger’s side of the field.

“You get first move!” he called after he’d returned across the arena—and a Togekiss circled overhead, humming happily as she came to face down whatever was going to come out from the opposite side of the field.



Togekiss is out on the field! Good luck!

Two moves per turn (post) are allowed.

A man such as Zev, who did not have a lot of Flying-type Pokémon in his roster, might consider himself at a disadvantage. He imagined most of the battle would take place in midair, and Pokémon that had a natural advantage over Flying-types would actually find themselves at a disadvantage due to the Z-axis they could not conquer.[break][break]

But Zev had his own Pokémon not bound by the earth. He released the first of them to face off against the Togekiss.[break][break]

[break]

"Let's go, Mismagius!" Zev shouted after the Ghost-type materialized on his side of the arena. "You can't use Perish Song, but do whatever else you have to do!"[break][break]

The Pokémon trilled in acknowledgement. Immediately, she cast OMINOUS WIND. The wind picked up around her, whipping around with great force and wailing with the cries of departed souls. Then she phased out of sight, phasing in again directly in front of the Togekiss to strike with POWER GEM.

The moment Zev had brought out the first of his Pokémon, he froze.

For a good five seconds, Alexei fucking froze.

What—what a cruel fate. Oh, djinni save him!

(He was sure, that if was around to watch this match, he was definitely going to laugh his ass off for a few moments. Because what kind of Gym Leader freezes at the sight of a Ghost-type? Him, that’s for sure!)

Thankfully, his Togekiss had the werewithal to swing into action without him saying anything, quickly summoning a Safeguard wall to protect against whatever would be coming her way—as specters were a tricky bunch and they almost always packed status changes, one of which was the extremely common Confuse Ray.

The Ominous Wind would strike her—but for the Power Gem, she was more than ready—suddenly releasing a powerful flash-bang grenade burst of fae light in the form of a Dazzling Gleam attack.

This, in turn, caused Alexei to instinctively reach for a pair of shades from another jacket pocket and slip them on, because he knew what exactly was going on once his mind had unfroze from the sight of the specter—and they were already in the middle of the match!



Togekiss is out on the field!

Togekiss used Safeguard (1 / 5) to start; taking the Ominous Wind attack but countering the Power Gem with Dazzling Gleam!

Safeguard was a smart choice considering Ghost-types, but it was not going to protect Togekiss from the onslaught of attacks that Mismagius had ready. She took the counter of Dazzling Gleam with grace, the force of Togekiss' offensive pushing her back.[break][break]

But Mismagius was ready. Without waiting for her master's signal, she whirled through the sky and lashed out at her opponent with MYSTICAL FIRE.[break][break]

"Good job, Mismagius!" Zev yelled with encouragement. "Keep it up!"[break][break]

The Ghost-type swooped around the Togekiss for another attempt at POWER GEM, hoping to strike at her opponent's flank with a devastating attack.

That was going to work once, but twice?

He—really needed to swap one of those moves Nat knew out for another! Too late for that, at least for the moment.

While it looked like she was doing nothing—even taking the Mystical Fire full in the face (and yelping painfully in the process because that was fire, and that hurt bad) she floated over backwards and seemingly just… did a random wiggle.

However, that was actually her Metronome attack in play—and for a few seconds, seemingly nothing happened.

And then everything came crashing down all at once as she flew forward and lashed out with an Iron Head attack!

Well, that meant closing the distance but that was the risk of Metronome in and on itself—it truly was, in a sense, absolutely random.

Whether or not the attack would connect, she would back away—this time meeting the incoming second blast with her own Ancient Power, if but to soften the blow that would result from the attack that would slowly but surely chip away at her.

“Nat, you’re doing great!” he called from his side of the field, keeping the shades on just in case another attack that went off like a flashbang grenade came out of the randomness of Metronome.



Togekiss is out on the field!

Safeguard (2 / 5) is in effect!

Togekiss takes the Mystical Fire, and used Metronome which resolved into Iron Head!

Hit or miss, Togekiss then used Ancient Power to soften the blow of the incoming Power Gem attack!

Mismagius was far enough away from Togekiss' incoming Iron Head that she was able to dodge, though the Ancient Power countering her Power Gem did clip her. She trilled in agitation and attempted to freeze Togekiss in place with MEAN LOOK.[break][break]

Then Mismagius backed off to make space between herself and her opponent, her eyes glowing purple as psychic power built up within her. Without hesitation, she unleashed the energy with PSYWAVE.[break][break]

Zev watched from below, trying to gauge the Togekiss' health from where he stood. It was difficult with such distance between the ground and the two Pokémon battling in the air. He glanced over at Alexei, too, trying to find any indication of the fight's progress on the gym leader's face. The sunglasses that the other man wore, however, hid his eyes from Zev's scrutiny.

That was a—

Not very nice look the ghostie across her flashed her way!

Cringing for a few moments in mid-air, the Psywave shook her, making her careen off-course as the attack pelted her full-force—with a couple of corrections, though, she was back at it and this time.

She decided to let loose with the Dazzling Gleam first, using the resulting flash of fae light to put as much distance as she could between her and the specter, flying as far back as she could before deciding to send in an attack that would home in on the other.

A burst of Leaves that were Magically conjured came swirling from around her, before being lobbed at the Mismagius through the flash of light.

She was getting pretty battered, because the attacks, while not powerful enough to knock her out of the air, were chipping away considerably at her.



Togekiss is out on the field!

Safeguard (3 / 5) is in effect!

Togekiss takes the Psywave attack and this time reverses the order of things, using Dazzling Gleam first to confound the Mismagius as to where her location is.

A barrage of Magical Leaf follows afterward, homing in on the specter!

Togekiss' Dazzling Gleam pushed Mismagius across the sky, scorching her spectral form, only for a barrage of leaves to fly at her through the spectacle. The Ghost-type attempted to dodge, flying through the air in a confusing zigzag, but the leaves hit home in the end. She cried out in pain and frustration, her battered body still levitating but sagging considerably.[break][break]

Zev suppressed a frown of displeasure, channeling his emotional energy into a look of concern instead. Cupping his hands around his mouth, he shouted, "It's okay! Hang in there!"[break][break]

Bolstered by her master's encouragement, Mismagius charged, leading with another MYSTICAL FIRE to scorch the Togekiss, followed by OMINOUS WIND to fan the flames higher and hotter.[break][break]

How long Mismagius would last on the battlefield, however, was hard to tell. Zev guessed she did not have much energy left in her.

Honestly, seeing specters was something he would never get over (regardless if they were ’s, or someone else’s) and he felt another chill travel up his spine.

He knew that his Togekiss, while she was considerably bulky, was getting battered and hammered on by the attacks coming from the Ghost-type—and there it was, the Mystical Fire attack had scorched her pristine white form! Not too long afterward, the Ominous Wind struck her as well.

He bit his tongue as he heard his Togekiss crying in dismay, her flight pattern dipping even lower before a last-ditch attempt at an Ancient Power attack across the space, before wiggling her entire body—her way of conjuring up the Metronome.

At first, there was… silence.

And then a few moments later a powerful burst of rainbow-colored energy, a Psychic attack—came racing after the boulders determined to either pin or bring down the Mismagius.

“Hang in there, Nat!” he called from his side of the arena.



Togekiss is out on the field!

Safeguard (4 / 5) is in effect!

Togekiss takes the Mystical Fire and Ominous Wind, before launching Ancient Power at the Mismagius!

Togekiss then used Metronome which resolved into Psychic as a follow-up!

Both Pokémon in the air seemed so close to fainting. Zev bit the inside of his lip in an attempt to rein in his frustration. When the powerful combination of ANCIENT POWER and PSYCHIC hit Mismagius and sent her careening to the ground, however, he channeled his anger into a loud, vehement swear.[break][break]

For a Ghost-type, she landed rather bodily on the ground several yards away from where Zev stood. He clamped down on the urge to scowl and instead shouted, "You did your best! Rest easy now!" as he recalled her into a Poké Ball.[break][break]

Taking a deep breath, Zev selected his second and final Pokémon for the gym challenge.[break][break]

"Your turn, Smoke!"[break][break]

[break]

The Gengar emerged in a cloud of roiling shadow, his eerie, cackling laughter filling the arena. Sighting the Togekiss, he launched himself through the air, attempting to freeze her in place with MEAN LOOK before attacking with SHADOW BALL.

And now the thing that gave him nightmares for days emerged. While the Mismagius had been dealt with, there was no way he was going to be able to recall his Togekiss, seeing as the other specter had just used Mean Look to trap her right where they wanted her to be—

The powerful slamming force of the Shadow Ball sent the Togekiss flying backwards, before it almost crashed to the ground, hard, had he not quickly recalled the Pokémon in time. Dang, a close battle—and he… he figured, he had a couple of counters for this…

Due to his panic though, instead of sending out the Baile Oricorio he had (or the Pom-Pom, or hell even the Pa’u) he’d summoned forward his Sensu Oricorio, and boy the hairs on the back of his arm did not get any rest!

Ah, shit! he screamed to himself as he saw the Ghost-type avian hit the field—but there was nothing else to it, he had to power forward and go through with his choice!

This was the first time he was going to use this Oricorio, but he didn’t need to worry—because right then and there, the Oricorio began its Revelation Dance.

While normally this wouldn’t work since the move was a Normal-type; for some reason it had changed to a spectral, ethereal dance and took on spectral, ghostly elements as the attack went sailing forward, followed up by a powerful burst pf Air Cutter hot on its heels, attempting to strike the Gengar!



Togekiss has been knocked out, and Oricorio takes to the field!

Safeguard (5 / 5) is in effect! Safeguard will wear of on the next turn!

Sensu!Oricorio opens fire with Revelation Dance (changes to Ghost-type) before following-up with Air Cutter!

Murderers are not monsters, they're men. And that's the most frightening thing about them.

A mix of relief and triumph coursed through Zev when the opposing Togekiss fell, as her defeat brought him and Alexei on equal footing for their battle. One down, one to go for each of them. Zev watched the gym leader carefully, noting an outward expression of panic as he fumbled with his Poké Balls. It was difficult to tell if the Sensu Oricorio was Alexei's first pick, but the Pokémon soared through the sky toward Smoke, unleashing two devastating attacks one after the other.[break][break]

The REVELATION DANCE hit Zev's Gengar squarely, sending the Ghost-type careening across the battlefield. Smoke readjusted quickly, however, just in time to dodge AIR CUTTER — if barely.[break][break]

Then, in a poof of otherworldly smoke, the Gengar vanished, only to reappear right in front of the Oricorio. Grinning widely, he stuck out an impossibly long tongue to LICK his opponent, attempting to paralyze. Then he backed off immediately, floating away a few feet while using HYPNOSIS as a backup plan in case the paralysis didn't take hold.

With the advantage of attacking first came an equal disadvantage, because—well, simply because, this left the Oricorio wide-open to being clobbered from up-close!

While the Lick landed, she’d turned her body in such a way the Hypnotic waves had missed—however now that the Safeguard from earlier was gone, this practically left her wide-open for whatever status attack would come barreling her way.

Recovering her stance from earlier, she then blasted herself away from the Gengar with a Hurricane, before landing some distance away and aiming another sharp Air Cutter-fueled dance with those spectral fans that she was holding.

At least someone had their head together!



Sensu!Oricorio is out on the field!

Oricorio takes the Lick attack however pivots out of the Hypnosis attack with a Hurricane move to propel herself away from the Gengar! Upon landing, Oricorio used Air Cutter from a distance1!

The HURRICANE ushered by the Sensu Oricorio was wild and chaotic, the winds whipping Smoke to and fro as he attempted to ride them to safety to Zev's half of the arena. In the end, however, he tumbled through the air, looking roughed up from the turbulence. The disorientation left him wide open to receive the AIR CUTTER aimed his way, forcing him farther back.[break][break]

At least the Oricorio was paralyzed from Smoke's earlier LICK. That meant the Gengar could sweep back across the arena toward his opponent and blast it with HEX, the paralysis doubling whatever injuries the Oricorio might sustain. Smoke used the opportunity to lock eyes with the avian Pokémon and attempt another HYPNOSIS.[break][break]

Zev watched everything from below, his eyes trained on the battling Pokémon, his hands curling into fists as his body tensed with anticipation. Would it fall asleep? His Gengar's tactics, at least this early on, hinged on the status ailment taking effect.[break][break]

But if that didn't work, there was always their backup plan.
