VS RUSTBORO CITY GYM

ft. Thomas Benoit

"Very well." Gwyar said, nodding at his Sandslash. "Begin.

With a screech, the icy porcupine's arms spread out wide, the roar of a whipping blizzard barreling through the rooftop as a snowstorm exploded outwards in a radius around him.

The sky darkened as tumultuous, stormy weather took over, heavy snow falling around them and casting a white curtain before them.

The sound of grinding claws filled the air as the Sandslash stepped back into the white blank, seemingly disappearing into the blizzard.

---

TL;DR:
-Ridelle used Snowscape.
-The weather turned to a Snow storm.
-Ridelle used Swords Dance.
-Ridelle's Snow Cloak ability activates.

Vs Mauville Gym

ft. Josh Devlin

If the Mossdeep Gym Leader shared such thoughts, he did not show it.

For it's part, however, the Runerigus did not appear to consider the blaze a reason to step away. It held fast, perhaps against its better health—

But then, it'd not be much better for its opponent's— for the Runerigus' frame visibly crackled with dark power as it maintained its hold on it's opponent

At point blank range on a grappled, paralyzed foe, shadow ball seemed like a sure shot, burned or not.

For its part, however, the dragon appeared caught off guard by its own opponent's sudden approach— perhaps disturbed, as well.

The Archaludon trampled around with rolley-polley eyes following the kiss, its limbs swinging wildly around itself as it roared in its confuzzled state.

---

TL;DR:
-Runerigus is burned. Runerigus used Shadow Ball.
-Archaludon is confused.

VERDANTURF TOWN GYM

Vs. noah faber

He only knew the man from news, rumors and the GLs chatroom.

"Noah Faber." The blonde intoned politely as he saw the man, the doors closing behind him. "A pleasure to finally meet you."

One of the few Gym Leaders whose peers should bother to familiarize themselves with; few others had remained in their seats long enough for it to matter.

He marched towards the younger man, holding out his arm towards him.

"I apologize for delaying this first meeting— Hoenn has too many ways to keep men like us busy."

TL;DR:

BG (QUARRY)

ft. Brynnhildr Erling

"Vaguely." He said bluntly.

They hadn't been close, then— obviously. He had been doing his best to be polite and understanding of the (admittedly very beautiful) clearly distressed woman at the time.

He couldn't have foreseen things becoming as they were now— '20 years in a false Galar' would've sounded like a mad man's ravings.

He didn't know much of anything about Bryn's family— hadn't cared to try and pry open a chest clearly under lock and key. He liked his own privacy, and respected that of others in turn.

Bryn's words and emotional state suggested that may have been a mistake, however.

Had he gotten himself involved with the Kalosian mafia or something?

"Ah." He uttered simply, as his shadow grew in its depths and inky blackness, before a large, ghostly blade rose out of it, advancing further into the caverns ahead of them.

The practical side of him couldn't think of an immediate solution to the problem as Bryn presented it. Well— not a legal one. That said— he wasn't particularly worried either way.

Brynnhildr clearly was, however.

"Well now. If a meeting's already set up... I suppose I'll just have to come along, yes?" He said simply as a huge kaboom went off in the background. "It doesn't seem like it can be avoided, at any rate."

They'd find out about him eventually— best if he just introduced himself directly.

He was fairly affable, if he did so say himself.

Secrets of the Sword, vol. 2; ft. Eduardo Hisakawa

"I've never been an avatar myself, so I cannot speak from experience." The blonde said as he unbuttoned his vest next. "But he, more than anyone, should know about your powers, yes?"

Being the source of them, and what not.

"It may be worth your while to ask." He said, finally shrugging off his vest, turning away and walking several steps back to discard it on a rack on the wall.

"Though, let's save such for after this session." He said, before turning towards Eddie.

His hand descended to his waist, grasping the sword at his hip firmly and slowly drawing it as he advanced towards the other man.

"I've studied the Swords of Justice with the eyes of both a scholar and a swordman, Mr. Hisawaka." He said. "I've adapted and distilled everything I've observed into philosophies and techniques that a human could actually use."

His hope was that, if he hadn't failed along the way, teaching Eduardo Hisakawa everything he had gleamed from his studies of Terrakion — and everything that he had yet to learn — it'd naturally draw out his new avatar abilities to the surface.

With a flourish, he suddenly spun the sword around, catching it by the blade before holding out the handle towards Eduardo.

"Would you be willing to learn swordsmanship, Mr. Hisakawa?"

STRONG

Secrets of the Sword, vol. 2; ft. Eduardo Hisakawa

Alright, super strength was one. Surprisingly not that common— at least, not to any particular extremes— it made his possible limits rather tantalizing to explore.

"We'll put those to the test eventually." He said, noting yet another thing in his mind. "Do go on."

Unfortunately... the list, as far as Eduardo was aware, seemed to be rather short— the next item to be mentioned was listed very much like the last one.

Yet, such thoughts vanished from the blonde's mind as the man held out his hand and... focused.

His brows furrowed. His jaw tensed. His eyes locked into place.

And yet, for a moment, nothing happened.

And then...

Familiar lights danced on the man's palm. They fluttered and shimmered around his hand, before beginning to slowly coalesce into a shape that Gwyar was all too familiar with.

At the blade of the light, the blonde man smiled.

"Sacred Sword..." He breathed softly.

And then it vanished, like a burned lightbulb.

And his smile fell off, lips pursing uncharacteristically.

"Hoh." He breathed out after a moment, collecting his thoughts.

He supposed he should've expected it, but still... somehow, seeing the Sacred Sword of Terrakion, in its pure, orange splendor, in the hands of a seemingly normal man had still caught him off guard.

He smiled again.

"It seems like I am the right teacher for you after all, Mr. Hisakawa." He said, nodding at the man.

He hoped Eddie would take to meditation as quickly as Navy had.

"But— before that."

He turned his gaze towards Terrakion.

"Have you spoken with Ser Terrakion since becoming a duo?" He asked. "It's unfortunate, but its clear you've not been conferred with an instinctual understanding of your new abilities."

It didn't say much about Eddie— such things largely depended on the patron, based off the papers. Perhaps Terrakion expected, or even hoped for Eddie to train in order to obtain its abilities.

"Ah well." Gwyar intoned with a growing smile as he casually began to roll back his sleeves. "Perhaps this'll let me know if my research has been on the right path so far."

TL;DR:

Vs Littleroot GYM

ft. Hideo Kino

His gaze noted the spectators, briefly, a smile curling at his lip. Just like at home— though he doubted these were his fans.

With a bold declaration, the gym leader of littleroot changed the entire battlefield— rather theatrically, at that.

The world around them shimmered, before vast walls began to grow from the very soil, the spectators disappearing behind solid ramparts and flowing blue banners.

"Hoh." He intoned, rather impressed himself.

A bit flattered, as well— was this battlefield chosen based on his preferences?

"Yes. Of course!" He responded, squeezing the luxury balls in his hand firmly before swinging his arm out sharply, sending out two pokemon onto the scene.

A Kingambit and Runerigus took to the field, their eyes taking in the fantastical scenery around them, before finally settling upon their opponents.

Gwyar swept his arm through the air dramatically, his jacket flowing behind.

"Begin!"

The two pokemon launch into action.

The Kingambit's eyes glower sharply as its gaze flies across the battlefield, meeting the Liligant's own gaze for but a brief moment— before smirking at her.

The Runerigus is much more direct— It rises above its partner, arms spread out arms coming together forcefully as dark forces are compressed between stone palms— and a shadow ball is launched towards the Rabsca.

---

TL;DR:
-Battle start.
-Kingambit used Torment on Liligant.
-Runerigus used Shadow Ball on Rabsca.

VS RUSTBORO CITY GYM

ft. Thomas Benoit

"Thank you kindly." The blonde said to his escort politely as the elevator closed before him.

Taking a moment to look from side to side, the man observed the rustboro skyline for but a moment before finally turning towards the rooftop battlefield.

"Wasn't expecting you back in the circuit, Mr. Benoit." The blonde said as he walked up to his end of the battlefield, producing a luxury ball from his sleeve with a flick of the wrist. "Perhaps you'll indulge my curiosity, once this is over?"

His Alolan Sandlash took to the battlefield, her back spikes jittering and trembling in excitement as the sun shone down upon her.

TL;DR:

Vs Mauville Gym

ft. Josh Devlin

Gwyar remained static, arms folded behind his back as the battle began.

As the two speedsters charged down the duo at incredible speed— the Runerigus moved forward, it's body coming together into a single block of runes, standing firm despite the charging enemy.

Behind it—

The Archaludon stretched once again, it's body lengthening as the archs along his body glowed and crackled.

The first strike came, iron tail smashing into the Runerigus body directly— and it was was like attempting to smash through a steel block with a steel pickaxe. Not impossible, but a daunting task.

However.

As it the force of the blow rippled through the Runerigus— sparks crackled around its body. The Raichu would perhaps feel a sudden, brief moment of kinship after the touch.

And then the Rapidash came charging down, slamming into the Runerigus as it stubbornly stood in its way, pushing it back with its severe force as blazing fire exploded outwards.

It flowed violently around Archaludon behind it, the ghostly figure's solid body absorbing the impact... before its limbs attempted to snap around the equine's long neck firmly, static electricity crackling from its body.

Meanwhile, behind them, with both Runerigus AND Rapidash on its crosshairs— the Archaludon's glimmering archs compressed and then expanded sharply, unleashing a controlled, yet powerful Electro Shot.

---

TL;DR:
-Runerigus stands in Raichu's and Rapidash's path.
-Runerigus takes neutral damage from Raichu's Iron Tail.
-Runerigus' Wandering Spirit ability triggers, becoming Static.
-Runerigus takes neutral damage from Rapidash's flame charge.
-Runerigus tries to grapple down Rapidash while attempting to activate static.
-Archaludon used Electro Shot on Runerigus and Rapidash.
-Runerigus is immune to the electric type.

VS GHOST #2

AURUM BADGE, FT. ghost fireheart

A seismic shock rocks the stadium as the Typhlosion strikes the earth.

Soil and stone is upheaved in a violent shockwave.

The gym leader brought his hands together in a firm clapping sound as his steelix came barreling out of the earth with a thrumming roar, its body battered and cracked as it arched through the air violently, before its head came crashing down unto its side.

The titan panted and struggled, deep loud breaths echoing as its body slowly slithered over burning soil.

The gym leader continued to clap.

"Excellent." He declared of the younger man's strategy, before raising his arm in the air.

A crackling boom echoed as the mega keystone in his gauntlet shone— before the light of mega evolution enveloped the Steelix, it's body growing in size as cracks slightly sealed around its crystalizing form.

From it emerged Mega Steelix, heavy pants leaving its maw still as it reeled back and a myriad mounds of crystal grew from the earth— and began launching stones towards the typhlosion.

---

tl;dr:
-Steelix took heavy damage from that Earthquake. She's looking on her last legs.
-The gym leader used Mega Evolution.
-Mega Steelix (Still heavily injured)'s Sand Force has activated.
-Mega Steelix used Rock Blast.
