“AH.”

fernando prepares his own pokeball in response, unfazed by the sudden challenge. in the context of the past few days, these greetings have became the standard, common place in a setting welcome to any and all.

“fernando silph, of the slateport gym.”

a soft lob ejects his GLALIE. it spins in place, projected a thin dome of energy. those familiar with the slateport gym will recognize it as his primary technique: PROTECT.

“battle routine set!”

THE SHADOW SNEAK allows her to deftly navigate the field. perfect to land a surprise attack. but when it settles, the GLALIE looks no worse for wear. in fact, it seems to grow. several times as such, just short of the gigantism of DYNAMAXING.

the formal sound of fernando’s, “mega shinka,” reveals its MEGA EVOLUTION.

one that has no qualms with biting back with a CRUNCH.

MEGA GLALIE’S UNHINGED JAW makes spitting out the growing EEVEE much easier. however, the sudden unclamping leaves it vulnerable to retaliation. when the DRAOGN HAMMER hits, the pokemon is launched side ways and into the street.

it grumbles to itself as it fires several ICE SHARDS from its new spot.

“already familiar with DYNAMAX,” the gym leader asks. among those he challenges, it’s quite easy to tell hoenn natives from the foreign visitors. those abroad are unfamiliar and often left amazed by hoenn’s many phenomenons. hoenn's natives however are always caught to speed, giving them an innate advantage in an otherwise global competition.

GLALIE TRIES TO DODGE. but the attacker’s proportionate paw makes evading difficult. for its coverage is just as vast as the pokemon’s fluffy mane and bristled fur.

with a shake of its head, the pokemon settles itself back into position, shrugging off the damage with a steep frown. just because they’re exchanging blows doesn’t mean it’ll let up. every chance it gets, the pokemon fires another ICE SHARD, quick to try and whittle the opponent down in between weaving through predicted attacks.

"interesting to hear," he says, satisfied by his opponent's answer.

“NO,” he says despite being one of the few gym to advocate for an artificial POWER SPOT.

a timely response that syncs with the way his GLALIE spirals upward, PROTECTING itself from all sides. yet, despite this, the PROTECT shatters almost instantaneously against the DYNAMAX attack, catching it by surprise.

“A LUXURY HOENN CANNOT AFFORD.”

GLALIE’s MEGA EVOLUTION times out just as the BURNING JEALOUSY strikes true. this time, it fumbles under the attacks numerous flames, putting itself out with a last attempt at SHEER COLD, sprouting icicles out in all directions.

“WELL FOUGHT,” fernando admits before recalling his GLALIE.

another notch is marked on his VITAL BAND. another loss to stain his record. despite this, he seems undaunted. for each loss means hoenn houses another capable trainer. the only task ahead is to gather their allegiance and a willingness to defend their region.

an impossible task but one he carries on nonetheless.
