Trial of Fortitude [Gym]

Beau claps the Mienfoo on his shoulder encouragingly as the small pokémon catches his breath. "You're almost at a new record, Feng! You're doing great, little dude, trust me." He hands the pokémon a small tumbler of water, which Feng immediately begins to down, and whips a clean white towel from around his neck to ruffle the mustelid's head fondly, which only manages to earn him a comically aggrieved expression from his pokémon.
[break][break]
As Feng finishes his water, Beau reclaims the small tumbler and gestures to the rear of the gym. "One more lap and you're at your new best, brah! Get out there and give it all you've got - I believe in you!" He offers his closed fist to the Mienfoo, who nods and fistbumps his trainer eagerly before taking off at a jog. The little pokémon is off like a shot to the rear of the gym, which is perhaps surprising in itself:
[break][break]
While the gym resembles little more than a particularly spacious fitness center, the rear wall has been fashioned entirely of enormous sliding panels that stretch floor-to-ceiling and that have, apparently, been retracted to either direction, leaving the entire side of the building open with a staggeringly picturesque view of the beach and sea beyond. Feng wastes no time in hopping down a series of wooden stairs built into the shoreline, allowing egress from the gym building to the beach itself, then takes off down the sands on what seems to be a relay course of some kind.
[break][break]
As Beau wipes his brow and slings his towel around his shoulders once more, he fails to notice the telltale footsteps of an approaching visitor. Her greeting does manage to catch his attention, however, and he turns to respond, his face lighting up in recognition as he realizes who she is.
[break][break]
"Oh, hey! Of course we've met, we're friends - isn't that what you said?" he grins broadly, striding up to her and offering a firm handshake. "You're even more easygoing than I am if you forget the guy who managed to drench you while you were minding your own business," he laughs.
[break][break]
The young man offers a grin and a wink to Talia's accompanying Dragonair, then returns his attention to the trainer herself. "So, what brings you by, friend Talia? I can put together a mean power wrap if you're hankering for lunch! Or," he adds, waggling his eyebrows playfully, "Did you come for the Gym Challenge?"

[attr="class","omgentop"]DEWFORD GYM

[attr="class","omgenmid"]

GYM DETAILS

LOCATED ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF TOWN, DEWFORD GYM straddles the shoreline, built on both land and sea. The main complex of the gym, perched safely on the island sands, is a spacious structure that Beau Fontaine has retrofitted into a training center for humans and Pokémon alike. While he counts himself among the greenest of Gym Leaders, Beau is staunchly unwilling to cast aside his passions, chief among which is his desire to encourage fortitude and tenacity in those he meets.[break][break]

Both traditional and non-traditional challenges occur in the more marine half of the gym complex, however: the perimeter of the gym consists of a large area of open sea, bounded by floating barriers. The traditional challenge enclosure is a rocky arena of multiple levels that shifts and changes with the ebb and flow of the tide. The non-traditional course is explained in further detail below.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE

TO TEACH YOUR TRAINER and their pokemon the value of determination and perseverance against seemingly impossible odds. Winners of the gym battle will receive the GRIT BADGE, proving proficiency in the aforementioned objective.

RULES

TRADITIONAL:
THE FOLLOWING MOVES are banned from use: Destiny Bond and Perish Song.

[break][break]

NON-TRADITIONAL:
ALL FORMS of teleportation are prohibited, including but not limited to the Pokémon moves Teleport and Phantom Force, as well as supernatural- or avatar-granted Trainer abilities accomplishing similar effect.

[break][break]

FORMAT: TRADITIONAL

[break]
ALTHOUGH BEAU COUNTS A NUMBER OF FIGHTING-TYPE POKEMON AMONG HIS COMPANIONS, he favors the strong and tenacious, and is therefore eclectic in his choice of typing. Traditional gym challenges may take place in one of the following formats, at the challenger's discretion:[break][break]

2v2, singles
2v2, doubles

FORMAT: TO THE TOP!

[break]

The sole Non-Traditional format currently on offer at Dewford Gym is a challenge Beau refers to fondly as "To the Top!". Along the shoreline, a sprawling obstacle course has been designed that meanders across both the golden sand and the white-capped waves.[break][break]

Beau, never satisfied for long, considers it a hobby that he changes and adjusts frequently, so each challenger is liable to have a different experience.[BREAK][BREAK]

Both the trainer and one of their chosen Pokémon must successfully navigate the obstacle course from beginning to end, showcasing their physical prowess as well as their strength of will, before they exhaust their stamina and fall into the surf.

YOU SLEEPING, BRAH?

If the challenger fails to post for one month, their challenge will be considered forfeit. If the Gym Leader fails to post for one month, the challenge will be considered forfeit by the Gym Leader, and the challenger will be awarded the GRIT BADGE.

HEART AND SWOLE

[attr="class","complanet-post"]

The fact that Beau's destination this evening had been an abandoned warehouse should probably have been his first clue that he was potentially better off staying at home and doing something, you know, not physically harmful to himself, like waxing his surfboard or teaching Chaos Tai Chi. Instead he's been forced into this ridiculous getup - consisting of a dark blue singlet, a matching mask covers his entire dang face, and some kind of shiny half-cape thing that he keeps flipping out of the way because it likes wrapping around his arms - and is currently being hustled around in some kind of back storage room like he's a bag of potatoes.
[break][break]
Granted, when Guillermo had called the gym and said he couldn't make his workout this week because he didn't have the money, Beau immediately offered to spot him a session. Upon further explanation, Guillermo was strapped for cash because he'd broken his leg and couldn't do his regular gig - which was apparently this. Beau prided himself on his generous nature, particularly where his friends were involved, but this was something else.
[break][break]
"Hey, kid, where you from?" the announcer, an oily-looking kind of guy, slips into the storage room with a sniff, dabbing at his carefully-slicked hair. "Dewford Town, why?" The announcer looks Beau up and down, a contemptuous curl to his lip, and sneers. "Need a stage name, precious. Hope you can keep up with your challenger's moves better than you can this conversation, eh?"
[break][break]
With no more preamble than that, the announcer vanishes outside the storage room again, and Beau has about three sets of hands suddenly patting him down, straightening his cape, pulling his mask taut, and for one brief second he could have sworn somebody slapped him on the butt. Before he can protest, he's shoved out the door and promptly blinded by the bright spotlights swinging wildly back and forth across the impromptu wrestling ring.
[break][break]
"TONIGHT, EVERYBODY GIVE OUR NEW CHALLENGER THE WELCOME HE DESERVES! IT'S....THE DEWWWWWFORD DESTROYERRRRRR!" The announcer's voice explodes through the warehouse, amplified by some unseen sound system. In response, the crowd - which Beau still can't see because of the dang lights - boos and hisses. "Uh, that's because I'm, uh, a destroyer from Dewford, not that I wanna destroy Dewford, dudes," Beau clarifies loudly, though his exposition is cut short by another round of jeering. It appears nobody likes a newbie!
[break][break]
The announcer's voice blares through the enclosure again as all the lights shift to focus on another curtained doorway at the opposite side of the warehouse, doubtless where Beau's foe is due to emerge. "AND NOW FOR HIS OPPONENT, GIVE IT UP FORRRR..."

"Oh, sweet!" the man effuses. "The more friends the better, am I right?"
[break][break]
His attention turns to the Mothim as Talia sends her Milotic after it, and despite his attempt at maintaining a serious demeanor while watching the aquatic pokemon all but splash the moth out of the air, he cannot quite resist giving a sharp, brief fistpump as the woman captures the pokemon herself. Nice.
[break][break]
"Oh, yeah, I get it," he continues, "Flying is quicker and I guess scenic in its own way, if you're into it, but there's something about being able to feel the water underneath you, and really working together with it to make it where you wanna go, y'know? It's like the pulse of the planet," he grins wistfully, planting his surfboard upright in the sand as he stretches.
[break][break]
The rare moment of poignancy from the young man is interrupted by a sound not unlike a raspberry - Nemo has caught the attention of a passing Tentacool, who has squirted water into the Marshtomp's face. Nemo, aggrieved, responds in kind with a weak stream of water of his own, causing the Tentacool to flip a tentacle up in agitation before sinking underwater once more.

Dominic is jostled from the intense focus on the rough collection of lines and shapes he is etching into the soft earth of the pen by the approaching Deerling. He surveys the other pokemon, looking Paschal up and down, before offering a solemn and decisive "Thwack*."
[break][break]
Motioning the Deerling over to the marks he's been making in the dirt, Dominic indicates a long horizontal line at the bottom of the assembly, then thumps his stick on the ground underneath them. He points to the large shape that approximates a crooked square, then points to the Daycare building proper. "Thwack wack**."
[break][break]
A small, round shape next to the square is indicated next, followed by the simian pokemon pointing to a low-slung barrel at the edge of the Daycare building's facade. He digs his stick into the dirt once more, tracing a bouncing path from the circle, to the top of the square, then draws a series of lines erupting in a starburst from atop the structure.
[break][break]
"Thwack wack wack, Thwackey!***"
[break][break][break][break]

TRANSLATOR'S NOTES:
[break][break]
* - You'll do.
[break][break]
** - That fortress is the target.
[break][break]
*** - By successfully scaling the fortress and evading our unjust captors, we shall partake of the ambrosia of victory and provide our wayward trainers a means to witness our strength and daring upon their return. Thwackey.

Beau wipes his brow with the back of his hand, driving the blade of his shovel into the dirt with a loose 'THUNK' and stepping back to survey his work. The small patch of land hadn't been wild beforehand, per se, but a sense of accomplishment still manages to settle on his shoulders as he regards the four freshly-tilled garden plots just waiting to host a bountiful harvest.
[break][break]
Unlike the plots, however, waiting does not appear to be among the personality traits of the average Hawlucha, as a particularly limber specimen flips and cavorts much too close to Beau's hard-won plots for his liking. "Dude, no dice!" he yells, releasing Nemo with a quick flip of his wrist.
[break][break]
The Marshtomp orients quickly on the intruder, opening his mouth wide and unleashing a Mud Shot that misses the agile bird entirely. Shaking his head, Nemo fires again, this time scoring a hit and sending the bird sprawling, his feathers gunked in drying mud.
[break][break]
"Nice moves, brah," Beau comments as he approaches, "but maybe practice them outside my garden, yeah?" He fishes out an empty pokeball from his pocket and tosses it toward the downed Hawlucha, capturing it in a burst of red light.

While it doesn't appear that there is any blood to be spilled from the Haunter's ephemeral body, the combined assault of Chaos and Chomper definitely results in shreds of a shadowy violet substance being torn from the ghost itself, spinning away into scraps of smoke as the larger pokemon writhes, slamming into the ground.
[break][break]
One of the Haunter's disembodied hands swings around in a Shadow Punch, clocking Chaos across the side of his head and knocking him into the air, where he lands near Beau's feet. The damage is done, however, and it seems like Chomper's powered-up Crunch was enough to cause the ghost's last stand to end, its eyes sliding shut as it dissolves, slowly, into nothingness.
[break][break]
Beau crouches down, reaching out to check on Chaos, but the Snubbull has already shaken his head and righted himself, offering a dispassionate snort to the space that the Haunter had occupied. Glancing up to Andrea, Beau shrugs with one shoulder. "I guess we got him, but he sure didn't seem like he was interested in answering any questions. Kinda grumpy, I guess."
[break][break]
The man comes to his feet, brushing himself off carefully and looking around. His pensive expression relaxes as the temperature in the apartment slowly but surely returns to normal, the chill dissipating with preternatural swiftness with the apparent demise of the Haunter. "I think we did it, temporary human girl! Well, I think Eugenie's place feels better anyway. Sorry you didn't get your, uh, ghost interview," he mutters, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly.

Beau laughs as the Milotic responds in kind, shielding his eyes with one hand as the water splashes down on him. Nemo, for his part, utters a pleased little "Stomp!", clapping his hands as the refreshing spray splashes him. The trainer lifts a hand to offer an apologetic wave to Talia, accompanied by a charming, if rueful, grin. "I'm Beau!" he greets, as though that explains quite everything there is to explain.
[break][break]
He cuts the surfboard along the surface of the water toward shore, weaving to and fro before he dismounts with a practiced motion, landing on the sandbar with his Marshtomp just behind him. "Sorry about that," he says, "I'm not used to seeing anybody out at this spot, or I'd have been more careful! What brings you out?" He glances down to Nemo as though looking for reassurance, but finds the Marshtomp being tugged backwards into the water by a wayward Dewpider.
[break][break]
"Whoa, whoa little brah! A Rock Slide will take care of that bug bugging you!" Nemo shakes free of his assailant and turns around with a determined little growl, stomping on the edge of the sandbar and incongruously sending a shower of small rocks into the air that crash down on the unfortunate Dewpider, sending it stumbling drunkenly around on the shoreline.
[break][break]
Not one to look a gift pokemon in the mouth, Beau tosses a pokeball toward the Dewpider with a whoop. "Great job, brah, just like that!"

Beau shakes his head vehemently, snatching a rag from the stove to scrub furiously at the back of his neck. "No way, man, that's straight up, uh, ghost sweat or whatever." There's a word for that, but he's to weirded out to think too far into the realm of polysyllabism. "Unless it was, like, a leak from the A/C?" he adds hopefully, swinging his phone around to scan the upper reaches of the kitchen.
[break][break]
Unfortunately his search not only doesn't reveal a leak, it still fails to indicate a single air vent, leaving the explanation for the chill in the air unresolved. His attention is pulled away suddenly as he hears the aftermath of the Deino's Dragon Pulse firing off in the bedroom, and he pushes out of the kitchen door, stumbling through the living room with only the light of his phone to guide him.
[break][break]
Chaos the Snubbull has abandoned his post, and as Beau skids into the doorway of the bedroom, he sees why: the small dog is currently Playing Rough with a much larger Haunter that, by appearances, had tried to get the drop on Chomper. "Whoa, watch out!" Beau calls, as Chaos attempts to wrangle the ghost out of the air, biting at it viciously.

Beau nods as Andrea releases the Deino, expression brightening in understanding. "Oh, yeah, that's a great idea! You should totally check out the other rooms, Chaos!" He looks down by his right foot, but the Snubbull is no longer there, having darted to the trainer's left. When Beau reorients himself to the left, Chaos darts to the right instead, with a soft huff.
[break][break]
The man sighs, biting his bottom lip as he thinks. "Got it! You stand guard here, and I'll go check the other side," he proclaims, snapping his fingers in triumph. Chaos seems to acquiesce to this, adopting a slightly less disinterested stance and uttering an affirmative grunt that only slightly resembles an oink.
[break][break]
Without the benefit of Andrea's flashlight, Beau is forced to rely on the light from his phone, which is only helpful in the most minimal sense. While Chomper's path is liable to take the Deino into the bedroom, Beau instead enters a small kitchen, the stark white light from his phone illuminating what would otherwise be a clean cooking area, if sparse - everything is stowed neatly away, and only a clock hangs on the wall.
[break][break]
A crash from the bedroom causes Beau to whip around, the light from his phone going wide and leaving him oblivious to the long pink tongue and grinning mouth that materialize from the air behind him, licking a long stripe up the back of his neck before vanishing. "Yaaaugh!" he yelps, turning around and shining the phone accusingly in the space behind him, only to reveal nothing at all. "Did you see that? Something slimy just hit the back of my neck! Disgusting, brah!"

Dominic the Thwackey stands at the edge of the enclosure as the gate shuts behind him, watching his trainer give a jaunty wave and a "Back soon, little brah!" before disappearing down the path.
[break][break]
Well, this is weird. Dominic has never been left apart from Beau like this before, so he doesn't really know what to do with himself. He lifts one of his branches and thwacks it experimentally on the edge of the fence, but much to his disappointment, the fence does not budge. Drooping, he turns around and walks further into the enclosure, overlooking the various pokemon milling around the pen but unwilling to actually approach and engage with any of them.
[break][break]
The back of the pen does butt up against the Daycare building proper, but he can't see anything of interest in there, and besides the large man in the apron would probably have something to say about him smuggling himself into the building where no pokemon, by the look of it, were actually occupied.
[break][break]
Dominic instead busies himself digging the edge of one of his branches into the loose dirt at his feet, slowly picking out the shape of a line and focusing intently on creating some kind of shape or other underfoot, though what it is intended to be is anyone's guess.

HEART AND SWOLE

Beau listens to the girl's explanation with wide-eyed bewilderment, hanging on to her every word. Cleaning lady? Can he trust her? Maybe, she seems harmless enough, and he could probably take her in a fight, even if the googly eyes on her costume lulled him into a false sense of security. Belle Delphox? Well, he could hardly fault the guard there, but then again he'd never met a cleaning lady in that kind of getup, so maybe the guy was REALLY distracted.

"I'm Beau," he offers. "I'm, uh, permanently a human, I think! I'm a personal trainer, lately, and I just wanna help this girl out," he murmurs. "Nobody should have to worry about sleeping in their own house, y'know?"
[break][break]
Suddenly, and without warning, the air grows suddenly and drastically colder in a matter of seconds. Beau shivers, exhaling a breath that clouds in the light of Andrea's flashlight. He looks around hopefully, searching for a vent that doesn't exist. "No chance that was the A/C kicking on, was it?"

HEART AND SWOLE

The thump that echoes through the otherwise quiet apartment draws Beau's attention quick as a flash, his eyes widening slightly. It's probably, uh, probably just a coincidence. The low, creepy groan that follows, however, sends Beau jumping straight into the air about a foot as he utters a comically high-pitched yelp. "AAH! It's really a ghost! Get 'em, Chaos!"
[break][break]
Unfortunately - or fortunately, depending on which party you ask - the Snubbull wastes no time darting quickly behind Beau's legs, peering out from between his trainer's feet and offering a slightly reedy "BARKBARKBARK!"
[break][break]
Then the eyes. White and bulging, staring unblinkingly in...two kind of opposite directions...
[break][break]
Beau takes a step back, causing Chaos to snuffle indignantly and mirror the action, unwilling to put himself between his trainer and danger. As Andrea reveals herself fully, Beau lets out a huge sigh of relief, clutching his chest with heaving breaths. "Brah, you scared the chill out of me! How did you even get in here?"
[break][break]
He takes in the young woman's appearance, raising a single eyebrow in bemusement, and nods slowly, as though still trying to comprehend the sight in front of him while forming words and keeping his heart rate steady at the same time. "Yeah, a client of mine lives here and thinks it's haunted, but I think she's just being kinda...nervous. New place and all," he nods as Chaos slowly peeks out from behind him, scanning Andrea up and down before offering a disinterested huff.
[break][break]
"You're here hunting ghosts, though? How'd you hear about it?"
