[attr="class","cianmain"]it's time, he decides, to start his next journey; one he had been afraid to begin only because he didn't want to fail at it; but one that is arguably overdue.

his connection and friendship with the elite four have allowed him to bypass the interview. what is there to ask him, anyway? why he wants to do this? the answer should be obvious.

"thanks for accepting my challenge, grey."

he swings his arms left and right, stretching.

"i don't imagine you'll be taking it easy on me today?"

[attr="class","snub-greyson"]Across the arena of his chambers, Greyson bores a silent hole into Cian's skull.

His expression isn't outright hostile, but it certainly isn't friendly.

He hadn't forgotten the man was a member of Team Rocket the entire time he'd known him. Regardless of the information he'd revealed, it was nearly impossible to separate the man from his lie.

"No, Cian, I won't be. To stand here before means that a measure of trust has been placed in you. I'm here to test if that the trust has been misplaced."

On the interwoven stone and branch walls, Combee and Vespiquen alike buzz curiously as they look on below.

"This will not end like our Gym Challenges in the past."

He releases a single Pokemon — Noivern. The draconic bat hisses a challenge, ears twitching and claws raking.

[attr="class","cianmain"]an eyebrow raises at the hostility displayed toward him which, in his opinion, is a little uncalled for considering all he has done for the league.

"that trust has survived tests from others, i assure you, but if you need to see for yourself, then fine."

a pokeball pops open, revealing his froakie as it blinks its bulbous eyes to life.

"we can take this seriously."

a DOUBLE TEAM starts off the battle.

[attr="class","snub-greyson"]In the end, Cian was no different than the others. He could strut like an Oricorio and scream from the rooftops his contribution to the League, but in the end, was it not inheritantly a selfish act?

To pretend that the man hadn't used that information, and his circumstances, to secure a spot — one of the first — in the League. Well, he couldn't bullshit Greyson.

A roar of challenge pulses out from the dragon-type, its body splitting as he matches the tempo with his own

double-team

. As one, they attack their counterparts with tooth and nail.

[attr="class","cianmain"]it was simply a matter of being at the right place and the right time. in a way, greyson isn't wrong: cian did use his situation in his favor to leverage a deal with the commissioner herself. he knew he would be met with judgment, but what of the alternative?

he wonders, briefly, if he would have done the same if he had to spend time in prison. the thought lingers as he watches the battle commence.

after using its shadow clone jutsu, all images of the froakie move in sync, mirroring each other as they all shoot out HYDRO PUMPS up into the air, targeting all the copies of the noivern.

[attr="class","snub-greyson"]An ocean of pressurized water shoots skywards, and for a moment, Greyson is lost in the display. It truly brought the theme of nature, that was his Elite Four room, into full view.

Then he orders a response.

"Boombust!"

Each of the copies, much like the Froakie, release their own ear deafening blast. The water meets an impenetrable wall of sound, unable to advance, while the noise dies well before it could reach the water-type. An effective stalemate.

He aims to break it immediately.

A roar echoes, not quite as deafening as her earlier attack, as a

hurricane

is summoned center-mass of her opponents forces.

HURRICANE whips through the froakie copies with enough force that threatens to lift them all up into the air if they aren't careful. but they stay planted on the ground, sticky feet active only to send out their sticky tongues up into the air.[break][break]

together, they attempt to LICK and all the noivern copies to find the right one.[break][break]

the moment is also appreciated by cian but he does not comment on it. perhaps if they were on friendlier terms, he would.

Taking more of a wyvern's stance she raises her ears once more and releases a deafening

the ground shakes under the immense pressure from noivern's BOOMBURST that almost seems to seek out froakie, zeroing in on the water-type except it's now a ghost-type. the attack phases through it, leaving it unscathed.[break][break]

taking advantage of the situation, froakie's LICK tightens, this time intending to lift the noivern up into the air before slamming it back down into the ground.[break][break]

faintly, a smirk creeps onto cian's features.

forced to take the attack, froakie spends a moment to recover, tongue still stretched out along the ground. thankfully, it doesn't need its tongue to spit out a HYDRO PUMP at noivern.

Panting, and weighed down by dripping water, she remains land-bound still. Having no choice but to continue to fight back, she flicks her ears as a near imperceptible (to human ears) sound echoes out at

cian, not able to hear the SUPERSONIC noise, is left unaware of the trouble that flies froakie's way. but the water-type is intuitive; it is the pokemon that fought its way to the very top to become VCT CHAMPION. a noivern isn't going to defeat it.[break][break]

froakie is quick to form hand seals, splitting apart with DOUBLE CLONE in an attempt to make up for its now CONFUSED state. all clones sway back and forth, struggling to remain standing.[break][break]

but, together, they fire HYDRO PUMPS at noivern, looking to drown the flying-type.
