Tuesday| 08:09
EL: 96%

You awaken on a bright Tuesday morning to the sight of your alarm clock flashing on and off.

“I guess I’ll have some power for a few minutes.” You muse to yourself as you swing your legs over the side of the bed.

Once your feet hit the floor, you remember that you don’t really have anything planned for today. Without anyone to talk to or the ability to do any serious training, you’ve spent the last few days shambling around aimlessly. Your laidback starter isn’t bothered in the least by this unexpected amount of downtime and he along with a few of your other team members are perfectly content with simply conversing amongst themselves. Remise and Sephira on the other hand, have been practically itching for any sort of action. Aside from your own boredom, you also have the moving day deadline hanging over your head now that you’ve been squatting in this Pokémon Center for a week. As you reflect on your state of affairs, you realize that there are a few things you could be doing right now, but none of them are particularly interesting or appealing. After sitting around for a few minutes, you let out a loud sigh and prepare to make a decision before the power goes out once again.

Gabe said he will come to us in a few days and we can always get some itens when we get together before we depart for now I think it's best we make a big as training session with our mons to catch up with Arno but give focus on Asher and Roseae since they both are lacking the most.

>>4353204
Also one weak doing nothing? Geez Walter, get your shit together. And QM We still have the Hitman's phone? Didn't we gave it away to Vernon to help in the investigation?

>>4353485
The phone situation was an oversight. I have a different set of notes on two devices so I sometimes miss small details when unifying them.

“Back to the grind.” You mutter as you make your way to the bathroom.

Within an hour, complete your morning routine, collect your things, and step outside of the Pokémon Center once again. You then make the trip to the empty lot which has become your go-to spot for training over the last few days. As you walk around the sheet metal fence and prepare to go through the motions once more, you instantly spot Jordan who is casually leaning on old car.

“I thought I’d find you here.”

“There aren’t too many places to train alone in this city.”

“You can say that again.” Jordan replies as you approach her.

“I’m surprised Lyle didn’t tag along for this little reunion.”

“He sent me a message and told me he was gonna play hero and look for the source of the blackouts. He could be anywhere by now.”

Due to your experience with out of the ordinary situations, you know for a fact that a certain group of outlaws have something to do with this. “Aren’t you worried about him?”

“Lyle can take care of himself...for the most part. Besides, he only contacted me once he was out of the city so there’s no point in trying to track him down now.”

“So I’m his replacement for today?” You respond dryly.

“I figured you’d get bored having your Pokémon attack piles of scrap all day.”

“I can’t argue with that.” You say, reaching for your belt. “Are you here for a battle?”

Jordan grins and tosses a Poké Ball into the air before snatching it out of the air. “Sure, let’s see how much you’ve improved. Just try and keep up with me.”

>Send out Asher

You select Asher’s ball and summon him to battlefield in a flash of light. As soon as he arrives, the green haired Pokémon begins to feed off of the emotions surrounding him and pumps himself up for battle.

“Go, Snover!” Jordan says, sending the frosty Pokémon into the fray. Upon entry, a localized snowstorm begins to develop overhead. As the hail and snow rain down, Jordan puts on a serious face and rolls her shoulder. “Prepare to give it your best shot, Walter.”

“Even at his best, you’re not going to get much out of him.” Remarks a familiar voice.

Despite the cold air swirling throughout the lot, you can hardly feel anything but anger as you turn around with clenched fists.

“Oh don’t look at me like that, Walt. It pains me to be anywhere near you as well.” Ivan says as he enters the lot. “I hate to interrupt your battle but what exactly are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be brooding on a hill back in Cycad Town?”

“Who do you think you are?” Jordan questions, narrowing her eyes.

“I’m the future Champion of the Isoin League and one of the best Trainers you’ll ever meet, but that goes without saying.”

“Wouldn’t a ‘future Champion’ have better things to do than make an ass of himself in a junkyard?” Jordan challenges.

“There’s a time and a place for everything isn’t there?” Ivan says with a smirk. “I’ve already collected all eight badges and proved that I’m one of the best, but I’ve decided to do it again just because I can. What I still don’t understand is why my old practice dummy is pretending to be a Pokémon Trainer and so far away from home at that.”

“I’m taking on the Gym Challenge.” You reply simply.

“Interesting. Tell me, how exactly do you plan on doing that without any talent or a license?”

“I’ve had one for weeks now, and I already won my first badge.” You say, stepping forward. “You might think you’re actually worth something as a Trainer, but the only difference between us is time.”

Ivan’s face takes on a look of mild shock followed by amusement. “There are so many things wrong with that statement, I hardly know where to begin. That being said, I think there’s a way to make this right. As satisfying as it would be to dismantle your Pokémon within seconds, my new team could use a warm up before I earn my second badge with them.”

“What makes you think I want a battle with you?” You reply coldly.

Ivan chuckles at your response. “Even though I humiliated you in our last battle, deep down, you still believe that you somehow deserve to be where I’m standing now. You can act as aloof as you want, but you’re just too easy to read.”


>”Fuck off, you’re not worth my time.”

>”I don’t need to beat you to know that I’m the better Trainer.”

>”You don’t know anything about me, and this isn’t going to end the way you think it is.”

“I know more than you think, friend.” Ivan retorts with an accusatory tone. “Nothing about you has changed from that day.”

“He accepted your challenge,” Jordan cuts in as she stands beside you. “Are you planning on battling anytime soon or are you gonna keep running your mouth?”

“Oh, I intend to battle, but not here. You were right, this dump is beneath me and without a crowd to witness my victory, it just wouldn’t be as satisfying.” Ivan stops to brush some snow out of his hair before shifting his attention back to you. “There’s been a rumor floating around that the Battle Circuit will have its power issue solved by tomorrow. I’ll be waiting in the front at noon.”

“Fine.” You reply.

“Then it’s settled. Let’s see if you can resist the urge to cheat your way out of losing this time.” With that said, Ivan turns around and sends out a fierce looking Garchomp from an Ultra Ball. He then gets on its back before it takes off into the air with a deafening roar.

“What’s his deal?” Jordan asks as the pair become a speck in the distance.

“We went to the same Trainers’ School and we don’t get along.” You answer simply.

“Funny, he kinda reminds me of you when we first met.” Jordan says half-jokingly.

You simply respond with a humorless glare and take a deep breath.

“Sooo,” Jordan begins again awkwardly. “What are you thinking.”

“I need to train, find a reliable way to heal my Pokémon, and find a place to stay for the night.” You rattle off without any hesitation.

“I can help you with that.” Jordan says as she recalls Snover. “People like him need to be taken down a few pegs.”

“Alright, what do you have in mind?” You ask.

“Everything we need is back at the Gym. I can get us in with my key even if the front doors aren’t working.”

“Lead the way.” You say as you return Asher to his ball.

Tuesday| 10:00
EL: 92%

After a bit of walking, you find yourself at the back of the Nucite City Gym. The building doesn’t seem nearly as imposing as it once was, but you still feel a lingering sense of foreboding as you peer through the dark windows.

“You coming or what?” Jordan calls from the doorway.

Drawing your focus back to the task at hand, you follow Jordan into the pitch black room and close the door behind you.

With the light from your watch, you cautiously move through the darkness. “It was nice of you to bring me here, but we can’t train if we can’t see what we’re doing. You wouldn’t happen to have an Electric-type would you?”

“Didn’t you here the news? Whenever the blackouts start it’s like all of the energy is being sucked from the city. Electricity can’t travel from one place to another without fizzing out. Even a backup generator stops working when everything goes off.”

“So the plan is to wait until the power comes back on for a few minutes?” You ask. “We could do this outside.”

“There’s one thing I need to do on the PC, but we don’t need the Gym’s lights to train. I’ll be right back.” Even without the limited illumination your watch provides, Jordan easily locates another door and closes it behind her.

After a few minutes of waiting alone in the dark, you hear the door open and see Jordan carrying one lantern in each hand. “I was saving these for later, but I guess it’s a good time to break them out now.”

“Do you want to start back where we left off?” You ask as Jordan hands you one of the lanterns.

“Sure, but you might have to wait for a while until you can see my ace.” After placing her lantern down, Jordan sends out Snover once more, creating a small hailstorm within the Gym.

“I’m looking forward to it.” You reply as you release Asher from his ball. “Alright Asher, we’re back in business. Let’s show them what we’ve got.”

The inexperienced but eager Ralts shivers with anticipation and faces his frigid opponent.

“Start off with Double Team and follow up with Confusion.” You instruct Asher.

“Interrupt him with Ice Shard!” Jordan orders in response.

Reacting quickly, Snover raises one of his leafy arms and fires several sharp bits of ice in Asher’s direction, forcing him on the back foot as the blistering attack rages on. Once Snover finishes, Asher is buried under a thin sheet of crushed ice, unconscious.

“I know you’re used to sending out rookies all the time, but I’ve gotten better since that battle in Marlan Town. You’ll need to step it up if you’re trying to win this.” Jordan remarks as you recall Asher.

“Don’t get too excited.” You reply as you select your next Pokémon. “Let’s see how you deal with this.”

Without any hesitation, you make your choice and send out your next Pokémon. “Go, Sephira!”

Upon entering the battle, Sephira lets out an energized roar as her small mane glows brightly. You can tell she’s been waiting to torch something for a long time.

“I like this one,” Jordan comments as the fire cub crouches low and prepares to attack. “It looks like we’re in for a real fight now!”

“They’re going for a Fire-type move, Snover! Dodge and use Leech Seed!” Jordan says, expecting you to simply attack.

Snover preemptively leaps to the side and fires a large seed at Sephira which proceeds to attach itself to her back.

“Use Work Up and then use Fire Spin while Snover is still in the air!” You order.

Sephira growls, causing a red aura to surround her as she gathers the power of flame in her jaws. She then launches the attack just as Snover touches the ground, incinerating the defenseless tree Pokémon. The flames then swirl around the frosty Pokémon and trap him within their clutches, burning him once more. Before Snover gives out however, the seed on Sephira’s back transfer a considerable amount of life energy to the injured Pokémon, allowing it to continue if only for a little while longer.

“Nice move,” Jordan compliments simply as the snow continues to fall. “But this isn’t over yet!”

A few clumps of hail strike Sephira as you plan your next move.

“Finish things off with Ember!” You order, wanting to get rid of Snover as quickly as possible.

“Hold on and use Protect!” Jordan fires back.

Sephira fires a a multitude of flames at the trapped Snover, only for them to collide with a green barrier that immediately extinguishes the flames. Snover, still held hostage by Fire Spin, is still burned however and comes close to fainting once more. The seed imbedded into his dangerous opponent is the only thing that keeps him in the fight and as the life energy is drained from Sephira once more, the frosty Pokémon gains his third wind. In addition to the annoyance that is Leech Seed, the hail continues to batter the poor cub, slowly wearing her down.

‘I can’t let her stall like this,’ you think to yourself as hail rains down onto the field. ‘If Snover stays in for much longer, this will play out the same way it did the last time.’

“Use Ice Shard and get ready to move!” Calls Jordan.

You understand Jordan’s strategy perfectly, and you won’t allow her to gain any more momentum. “Use Ember again!” You order once more.

Snover launches a heavy stream of ice chunks from his hands, pestering Sephira once more with flying ice. Shrugging off the attack, Sephira spews another round of embers at her annoying foe only for him to dive out of the way at the last moment, narrowly escaping the flames once again.

“Oh come on.” You mumble to yourself as Snover and Sephira proceed take damage from their previous attacks.

Though Snover’s situation remains dire, Sephira isn’t looking nearly as energetic as she was before and as the hail strikes her once more, the tide slowly begins to turn.

“If that’s the way you want to play it then we’ll just keep up the pressure! Sephira, use Work Up then Ember!”

Sephira powers up once more, causing her small mane to flare up as red aura swirls around her once more. She then sends another small wave of fire at Snover.

With few available options, Jordan sticks to her plan. “Use Protect again!”

As before, Snover summons a shield to defend himself from Sephira’s fiery breath and is subsequently harmed by the persisting flames brought about by Fire Spin. More life is drained from burning feline however and keeps Snover in the fight. To add insult to injury, Sephira is also struck by hail for a fourth time. Once the final volley falls, the storm slowly dissipates and leaves room covered in ice and snow.

“At least that’s over.” You say as you prepare to end this.

“Sonover is going to dodge again, cut him off and use Ember one more time!”

Moving quickly, Sephira leaps over the stream of sludge separating the cub from her prey and gathers her flames to deliver the finishing blow.

“Counter with Energy Ball and dodge at the last second!” Jordan calls.

Just as Sephira expels her fiery breath, Snover launches a bright green ball of energy at his target. Both projectiles sail past each other and hit their marks, causing both Pokémon to stumble back and fall. While Sephira was able to shrug off Snover’s icy attacks, the power of Energy Ball proves to be far more effective as she struggles to stand. Snover on the other hand, is completely roasted with no chance of getting up again. Once Snover collapses, the seed on Sephira’s back falls from her back and is quickly burned to a crisp by the annoyed cub.

“Great work Snover, we almost had that one.” Jordan says as she returns the downed Snover to his ball. “I guess it’s time for me to pick up the pace! You’re up next, Fletchinder!”

As the scorching bird emerges from her ball, you take this small break in the action to strategize. With Fletchinder’s speed, the chances of Sephira staying in the fight for much longer are exceedingly low but you doubt any member of your team could match the bird’s swiftness.

“Finish Litleo off with Quick Attack.” Jordan orders, going straight for the kill. Seconds later, Fletchinder circles around Sephira at dizzying speeds, leaving only a white trail behind her.

“Wait for Fletchinder to get in close, then use Headbutt!”

Sephira’s eyes narrow with intense focus as the blazing bird swiftly approaches. With perfect timing, the determined cub collides with Fletchinder just as the Ember Pokémon reaches her. The two Pokémon crash into each other and Sephira drops to the ground once more as Fletchinder struggles to remain airborne.

“I didn’t think your Pokémon could react so quickly,” Jordan says as Fletchinder regains her bearings. “I guess I’ll need to step up my game if we’re gonna take on the rest of them.”

“My team is full of surprises.” You reply as you return Sephira to her ball. “I don’t think you’ll blow through the next one so easily.”

“We’ll see about that.” Jordan grins as you select your next Pokémon.

With the type advantage on your side, you decide to start as aggressively as possible. “Monsoon, hit Fletchinder with Water Pulse!”

Monsoon forms a light blue sphere of water and launches it at Fletchinder as the flaming bird continues to soar around the field.

“Dodge it!” Jordan calls out as the projectile closes in.

With a well executed roll, Fletchinder manages to evade the attack and continue her momentum.

“Don’t let up!” You order, prompting Monsoon to chase down his foe.

The dueling Flying-types engage in a chase as Monsoon attempts to hit his target with an onslaught of projectiles. Despite a few close calls, Fletchinder continues to outpace Monsoon and gracefully dodge everything the ducking has to offer.

“Get him off your tail and attack with Flame Charge!”

Fletchinder dodges a few more shots from Monsoon before pulling up sharply, allowing the duckling to pass her as the Ember Pokémon surrounds herself with a veil of fire. Monsoon is then slammed from behind as the fiery bird rockets past him, moving slightly faster than she was before. Though Monsoon is obviously stunned by the blow, the water fowl thankfully manages to right himself and stay in the air instead of going into freefall.

It only takes one look across the field to tell you that Jordan’s plans for Fletchinder’s newfound speed are just beginning. ‘Come on, think! There has to be some way to score a hit!’ You think as the crimson menace effortlessly zips around the field.

Result(s): Failure

Watching Fletchinder speed around the field unchallenged gives you an idea. “Let’s add some turbulence to this battle! Monsoon, use Defog and get ready to use Water Pulse when you have a good shot!”

Monsoon proceeds to wildly flap his wings, causing an inexplicably large amount of wind to blow through the field. As the wind picks up, Fletchinder struggle to fly against its might while Monsoon begins to form his next attack.

Though Jordan visibly is caught off guard by your tactics, she continues without hesitation. “Don’t give them an easy target Fletchinder! Use Acrobatics!”

Despite being hindered by the wind, Fletchinder begins to fly around wildly as Monsoon struggles to follow her movements. The scorching bird’s erratic flight pattern compensates for Defog’s interference and allows her to get in close to strike Monsoon from multiple angles, sending the water fowl reeling as he lands on the ground to avoid any further attacks.

‘If it wasn’t for Defog, that move would’ve put Monsoon down for sure,’ you think as Monsoon looks to you for an answer. ‘But even with the wind, Fletchinder is still too strong to go after directly.’

Result(s): Success

“Let’s wrap this up with Quick Attack!” Jordan orders, pointing towards the grounded duck.

Fletchinder gives a call of affirmation and performs a shuttle loop before speeding towards her panicking foe.

“We’re still in this Monsoon! Try it one more time!” You say, attempting to encourage Monsoon.

Pulling himself together, Monsoon uses Defog once more, slowing down the incoming Fletchinder considerably. He then charges up his attack and launches it seconds before Fletchinder comes crashing into him, sending both birds tumbling over each other in a heap as the attack engulfs them. To your dismay, Fletchinder barely manages to pick herself back up as Monsoon remains on the ground defeated.

“Good job Monsoon, you’re getting better every battle.” You say to the duckling as you return him to his ball.

“I could say the same about you,” Jordan compliments from the other side of the field. “Even though you beat Vernon, I didn’t think you’d push us this far.”

“It’s not over yet.” You reply as you make your next selection.

“Actually, it kind of is. Fletchinder can’t take much more of this and Tyrogue won’t be able to lay a finger on your Honedge.” Jordan admits.

Thinking it over, you realize that her analysis is solid. “So you’re saying I win by default then?”

“Yes and no.”

“Well which one is it?”

“I’m actually training Tyrogue for a friend and I left my last Pokémon to train with him. Once the power comes back on I can get her back so we can finish this for real.”

“I don’t know, I could use another win on my record.” You say cupping your chin in one hand.

“That badly?” Jordan asks with a grin.

No, we gonna face Ivan tommorrow, that guy is a jerk and asshole but he has more experience as a trainer than us and our mons, we didn't even brought Roseae yet who has no battle experience yet, keep going save arno for last and let Remise and Roseae face Jordan's last mons, make Walter say something like this:

>"Real reason, this is training, I don't know what Ivan's throwing at me tomorrow, I need to get as much training as possible, I can always raise their levels by making them spar against each other but actual battle experience is better for my team, especially since Asher and Roseae are pretty new at it"

>>4361284
Also, once the power comes back, nothing stop us from healing our mons back and having another battle with all our mons.

This response invokes a look of curiosity from Jordan. “What do you mean?”

“I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow with Ivan, but I want to be prepared. I need to get the most out of today as I can to get everyone ready.”

“So what do you wanna do?”

“We’ll finish this here then wait for the power to come back. After that we can get our teams in order and do it all again.”

“I don’t have a problem helping you beat that show off, but you shouldn’t push yourself too hard.”

“You said it yourself, I’m not the same Trainer I was before. I know my limits, but I also know when to push them and give it everything I’ve got.”

“Alright, then let’s keep going. Just make sure you’re not psyching yourself out.” Jordan says, her concerned look shifting back to her focused one.

“Thanks, but you don’t have to worry about me. Ok, Remise, you’re up next!”

“Remise, use Shadow Sneak!” You order, getting your mind back into the battle.

The spectral blade’s entire form turns black as it takes on the appearance of a shadow. With speeds rivaling that of Fletchinder, Remise suddenly appears in front of the shocked bird and slashes at her with his sharpened edge. Remise then exits Fletchinder before taking on his normal form once again as his opponent shudders in discomfort.

“Hold on Fletchinder,” Jordan says encouragingly. “Fight back with Flame Charge!”

Recovering from Remise’s attack, Fletchinder takes flight and circles around the battlefield before engulfing herself in fire and charging into the floating sword, causing a considerable amount of damage. Despite only taking one hit from the bird, Remise is starting to look just as worn down as Fletchinder.

Result(s): Success

With both Pokémon on their last legs, you decide to strike first. “Use Shadow Sneak again!”

Remise becomes a shadow and flings himself at Fletchinder once more, scorning the final hit needed to take her down. At first, the bird stands completely still as if unaware that she’s was struck. As she finally collapses however, a look of surprise crosses her face before she falls unconscious.

“Keep up the good work Fletchinder, we’ll get there soon enough.” As Jordan takes the last ball from her belt, she gives a small nod to the Pokémon within and sends out a familiar purple brawler.

Upon seeing you once more, Tyrogue throws a series of punches and kicks into the air and strikes a pose.

“You’ve got the right idea Tyrogue, let’s go out swinging!” Jordan says, beaming at his confidence.

With a nod of satisfaction, you hold out Remise’s ball and activate the recall function. “Good work Remise, return.” You then select the newest addition to your team and send out the small Bud Pokémon.

Roseae’s confusion is evident as soon as the light around her fades. You can only assume that living in the Safari Zone didn’t do much to help expose her to any sort of combat or experience with traveling to new locations. Your theory is quickly proven correct as Roseae comes back to you and plants herself next to the lantern placed beside you, unaware that a battle of any kind is taking place.

“Hmmm.” You say, thinking out loud as Roseae bathes in the small amount of light afforded to her.

Thinking on the fly, you pick up the lantern and approach Tyrogue, being careful not to fall into the toxic water running across the field. As you predicted, Roseae gets up and follows you until she comes face to face with her would-be opponent. Tyrogue holds out a fist towards the inexperienced Pokémon, nonverbally issuing a challenge that goes completely ignored by Roseae. Annoyed, the Scuffle Pokémon kicks the lantern into the murky water as Roseae looks on with shock.

“Great.” You mutter as the room becomes much darker. In contrast to your mild annoyance, Roseae is far more irritated by Tyrogue’s actions and lets out a strange squeaking sound as the lantern sinks below the surface.

“I guess that’s one way to start a battle.” Jordan muses as a fuming Roseae glares daggers at Tyrogue.

Rolling with the punches, you take control of the situation. “Roseae, use Sleep Powder on Tyrogue, then use Growth.”

“Use Fake Out and follow up with Double Team.” Jordan counters.

Before Roseae can react to your commands, Tyrogue claps his hands in front of him, stunning Roseae and forcing her to step back as a shockwave reverberates through the air. Tyrogue then proceeds to make several copies of himself as the Bud Pokémon recovers from the unexpected attack. Under normal circumstances, the illusory copies are somewhat distinguishable from the original. Due to the decreased visibility however, you have no idea which one is the real Tyrogue.

“Use Double Team again.” Says Jordan, preparing to set up once more.

Tyrogue’s number of clones quickly multiply, resulting a in medium sized group of shaded Pokémon.

Not one to be outdone, you quickly form a strategy to defend from any incoming attacks. “Create a cloud of Sleep Powder around you to keep them from surrounding you!”

Roseae shakes the bulb on her head, releasing a large amount of green powder and spreading it around her to form a cloudy barrier of sorts. As seconds go by however, the powder slowly begins to settle, giving Roseae only a short period of relief.

“Now use Growth.” You order, capitalizing on the break in the action.

“If they’re planning to chip away at us then we’ll need to do this in one shot. Tyrogue, use Bulk Up!”

Upon receiving their orders, both Pokémon begin to power up in preparation for the upcoming struggle. Despite the small boost in power both Pokémon have received, Tyrogue’s clones may ultimately prove to be the deciding factor in this fight.

‘Roseae won’t be able to outmatch Tyrogue like this,’ you think to yourself as you gaze upon the crowd of doppelgängers. ‘We’ll need to slow him down and stay out of his way.’

As soon as they begin, your thoughts are interrupted by Jordan’s attempts to finish the battle. “This is it Tyrogue, take out Budew with Mega Punch!”

All of the Tyrogue clones crack their knuckles simultaneously as they advance upon Roseae.

“Use Stun Spore and get out of there!” You exclaim as the mob raises their glowing fists.

With no time to waste, Roseae picks a target at random and expels another cloud of spores towards her attackers before backpedaling away from a multitude of vicious swings. The golden spore pass by several of the clones without any effect and in turn, many of the blows that Roseae fails to avoid are equally harmless. At the end of the exchange, Roseae is close to the edge with her back to the water as the mob regroups from their attempts to overwhelm the Bud Pokémon.

“Close in and use Mega Punch one more time.”

As Roseae switches her gaze from one clone to another, the mob tightens their formation and raise their fists once again, preparing to strike.

“Use Stun Spore again!” You order.

Once more, Roseae shakes her head and showers the crowd in golden dust. Though the powder passes through most of them harmlessly, the real Tyrogue is caught in the attack, causing small sparks to spiral around him.

Now that Tyrogue’s attack has been put on hold, you decide to do some damage. “Use Absorb while he’s still unable to move!”

Roseae concentrates and draws several green orbs of energy from Tyrogue, replenishing a bit of her health and taking some of the fight out of the Scuffle Pokémon as well.

“Yes! Now we’re getting somewhere!” You say as Roseae’s energy returns.

“Don’t get too comfortable,” Jordan warns as Tyrogue and the motionless clones stand firm. “All Tyrogue needs to do is land one punch to win this.”

“Keep using Absorb and don’t let yourself become an easy target.” You order.

Roseae drains several more orbs of energy from Tyrogue while moving side to side in order to avoid any oncoming attack. Instead of going for the kill right then and there however, Jordan seems to have other plans.

“Use Double Team and block off your section of the field.” Jordan says as she watches Roseae move back and forth.

Once again, the mob increases in size exponentially and close in on the “outnumbered” Bud Pokémon, insuring that the only way to escape will be through them. As one side stares down the other from across the field, one thing is certain— the next few seconds will determine the outcome of this bout between Roseae and Tyrogue.
