Gym Leader sends out first
Arena: Demon Child's Playroom
Format: Singles
Complexity: Moderate
Type: Dark

Having heard that the Dark Gym finally reopened, you hurriedly submitted a request to face him (not really), and you were quite overjoyed when your match was accepted. However, when you arrive to the gym, you quickly find that it is nothing like you have (seen before/had it described to you as), given that the opening room is no longer where the arena appears to be. While you are pondering this, a voice comes over the loudspeaker, deep and partially menacing:

"Looking for the Gym Leader are we?"

Startled, your response takes a little while, but nonetheless is a simple "Yes." The voice responds:

"He awaits you in the playroom. Just a bit forward and to the right."

You take the directions and walk into the playroom, and you are immediately startled with how large this room is, and it seems to be littered with toys everywhere. Like, everywhere. So much even people who keep dirty houses would be a little annoyed with this. You motion to move the toys around, but you stop at the sound of a voice...


"I wouldn't do that if I were you. The Demon Child who lives here would much rather you not touch its toys."

Alarmed by those words of warning, you stand back up, and are immediately confused as to why Ghetsis stands before you.


"Simple, I'm the new Dark Gym Leader. After Team Plasma fell, I needed something to do to keep me busy. Allow me to go over the rules. 3v3 singles, no megas, all that standard stuff. Additionally, the demonic aura in the room suppresses attempts to inflict pain and heal self, and also allows all things to feel the attachment to possessions that the Demon Child feels. Now, I've been waiting so long for this! Let's begin!"

Effects
- Draining Moves no longer heal the user. The EN cost of these moves has been halved to compensate. (Affected moves: Absorb, Leech Life, Mega Drain, Giga Drain, Leech Seed, Drain Punch, Dream Eater, Horn Leech, Draining Kiss, Oblivion Wing, and Parabolic Charge)
- All Pokemon have the ability Sticky Hold

Codifications
- Nature Power: Dark Pulse
- Secret Power: Flinch
- Camouflage: Dark


"C-Come one, come all, to-"

"This place gives me the creeps."

"What? You think so, Polly? I guess it's kinda creepy, I s-suppose..."

"You're lying through your teeth and are terrified."

"Y-Yeah... The name 'Demon Child's Playroom' doesn't exactly give off good vibes..."

"Pfft, quit acting like a little Rattled Whismur, this place is great!"

"I'll say! My kind are naturally fond or playrooms, and a creepy one at that!"

"And the usual suspects, Wednesday and Dolly, join us for today's Gym Battle.
Let's s-see the teams, maybe seeing some Pokemon will make this place more homey..."​

"Well, that explains why Wednesday likes this place."

"Yeah, especially that other Mandibuzz."

"With a Mandibuzz on the Gym Leader's side, there's absolutely no way he can lose. Not with that kind of power!"

"Gee, that's not biased at all..."

"Eh, I wouldn't be so sure, especially with the challenger's powerful Conkeldurr, tricky Kecleon, and the monster we all know and love in Gardevoir.
But we'll just have to wait and see as this battle gets on its way!"

"The Gym Leader starts with the tricky Ghost/Dark-type demon from Hoenn, Sableye!"

"Ah, a fellow Ghostly friend!"

"A fellow Hoenn Pokemon, too, Dolly."

"What is this 'Hoenn' you speak of?"

"Right, this is- Moving right along, Birkal responds with the always dangerous Gardevoir!"

"Wonder if Lizzie will show up for her brethen... er, sistren?"

"Probably. She'd most likely say that Gardevoir's superior speed and stronger Super Effective moves give it an advantage in this matchup, but Sableye's Ghost moves and tricks shouldn't be underestimated."

"..."

"... Wha?"

"Well, look who developed a brain overnight..."

"Sableye starts off by trying to share its pain with Gardevoir!"

"Aha, wonderful choice, ghostly friend, make that thing suffer!"

"However, Gardevoir is able to put up a forcefield just in time to evade the Pain Split."

"Pfft, coward..."

"I think This commentary is a bit weighted on one side..."

"You think? Anyway, Gardevoir gets ready to launch a concentrated beam of lunar energy at Sableye, but it was not deterred by the Protect and immediately Fakes Out Gardevoir, flinching it."

"Keep it coming!"

"This looks bad for Gardevoir... Hey, where's Lizzie?"

"Gardevoir is able to shrug this off and is able to finally get off that Moonblast it has so desperately wanted, dealing a ton of damage."

"Pesky Fairies..."

"However, Sableye is able to return the favor with a nasty Pain Split, leveling the playing field, HP-wise anyway."

"HAHAH, Yes! Make it suffer, ghostly friend!"

Dolly never fails to concern me, jeez... Lizzie, where are you? / Well, time to finish this up.

"Well, at the end of the day, Sableye has been able to stay even with the monster that is Gardevoir. Will Sableye continue to be able to evade damage, or will Gardevoir break away like we all know it can?"

"Well, we get the answer to my question with a switch to Drapion from the Gym Leader! A familiar face from my side."

"Ah yes, her. She's cool, I guess."

"Because she's a Dark-type?"

"Mostly..."

"The Challenger responds with a counterswitch to an ultra powerful Fighting-type in Conkeldurr!"

"Ooh, Fighting-type, eh? That's what I'm talking about!"

"Pfft, if I was there, I would cut that block carrying thing to size easily."

"Are you a Drapion?"

"No, but what does-"

"Then shush."

"Conkeldurr starts off by running in with a powerful punch, but Drapion dodges it with lightning quick speed!"

"Smart choice, darkness never likes getting punched in the face."

"Weren't you just saying that you'd destroy Conkeldurr?"

"That's different because it's me, obviously."

sigh

"Drapion gets right back into the battle and nails Conkeldurr with crossed blades of poison, though Conkeldurr appears to take it well enough."

"Did I hear poison?!? Not as fun as burning, but the suffeing is all the same, hehe"

"...Well, actually, poison would've helped Conk because of Gu- ah, whatever, moving on, Conkeldurr shakes the ground with those big ol' pillars, causing a high damaging Earthquake, targeting Drapion's only weakness!"

"Ha! Show the darkness who's boss!"

"After taking so much damage, Drapion uses another method of protecting itself as Conkeldurr causes another shockwave to avoid further damage."

"Cowering in fear of powerful Fighting-types, eh?"

'It's obviously a tactical retreat, so shut it, bird brain."

"...You're more of a bird than a Blaziken, though..."

"Does it look like I care?"

"....Just.... sigh... Let's get on with the next round..."

"Here we go, next round!"

"Y'know, not much damage has been done so far."

"That's a good thing... Well, for the Gym Leader. Why hasn't he made that Gardevoir and pillar boy over here crumble yet?"
#Youngster Sprtie.png

"That Conkeldurr is a girl, actual-"

"I DON'T CARE, IT WAS DEROGATORY."
#Youngster Sprtie.png

"Well, she might.... Though, you probably don't care about that either..."

"Does Wednesday care about anything?"

"Myself... Wednesdays... Winning... A lot of things!"

"I care about watching others get burned!"

"...uh... Well, uh, back to the lack of damage, uh, well, who knows, Conkeldurr can deal a great deal of damage if you let it and Drapion is a ciritical hit machine, so let's just wait and see!"

"Drapion starts out with another Cross Poison dealing a good amount of damage to Conkeldurr!"

"Great start!"
#Youngster Sprtie.png

"As Conkeldurr responds by... doing nothing?"

"Even better!"

"Huh? If you wanted to do nothing, wouldn't spamming Protect be better anyhow?"
#Youngster Sprtie.png

"Or chilling."

"True."
#Youngster Sprtie.png

"Drapion, taking advantage of Conkeldurr's lack of a response, leaps into the air and crashes into Conkeldurr with great force on a critical hit!"

"Oh, beautiful, it even used a Flying-type move!"
#Youngster Sprtie.png

"Meanwhile, Conkeldurr... still does nothing..."

"W-Why?"
#Youngster Sprtie.png

"Drapion looks like it will have another free attack her- Wait, Conkeldurr's glowing!"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Pfft, probably nothing."
#Youngster Sprtie.png

"I wouldn't be so sure, Conkeldurr's glow starts to fade as it condenses into Conkeldurr's fists!"

"Or not..."
#Youngster Sprtie.png

"And at almost the speed of sound, Conkeldurr rushes up to Drapion, nailing it with a huge blow! It looks like it may have been Biding that whole time!"

"Ooh, sneaky, I like sneaky!"

"Grr, a dirty trick..."

"Wouldn't somthing like that be right up your alley, Wednesday? Being a Dark-type and all?"

"It's only funny when you're the one doing it, ya nitwit."

"Yeah okay... well, actually that's fair."
#Youngster Sprtie.png

"Drapion was sent flying by the Bide, but has however gotten up to hit Conkeldurr with another one of its Cross Poisons! Well, it looks like we've witnessed some Commentator's Curse: Polly said that not much damage has been done so far and what do you know, but Pokemon are now on their last legs! Drapion is visibly worse off, but who knows what will happen next at this point!"

"With both Pokemon being vulnerable, it's exciting to see what each trainer will do in response!"

"That Conkeldurr looks much better off, though."

"He already said that exact same phrase last time, are you paying any attention?"

"Well sooooooooo-ry, it's been awhile, okay?"

"Meh, excuses..."

"Y'know, you'd think that them being on the same team for 27 months would give them a better relationship, but you would be-."

"Drapion braces itself for impact to start off, a smart move at such a low amount of HP."

"Now that's what I like to see!"

"Conkeldurr counters by swaggering, making Drapion angry and confused, that latter of which is quite important."

"I hate being confused. Maybe something you should worry about?"

"Pfft, not worried at all."

"Conkeldurr weakens Drapion even more with a vicious Mach Punch, though Drapion of course endures the hit."

"I bet he'll hit himself."

"You see, about that..."

"Drapion, a little dizzy, cleearly won't let confusion get in the way, getting off a Night Slash and hitting the mark perfectly!"

"Bet he can't do it aga-"

"...Twice!"

"..Oh"

"Hehe..."

"Conkeldurr responds with a slightly slower punh, but Drapion takes that, too. And at the end of the day, both Pokemon are clearly only a hit away from fainting. So, who will draw 'first blood' in this anticipated Gym Showdown?"

If Greninja is in the evasive stage of a damaging / evasive move when you would act, use Reflect on the first instance, Teleport (Evasive) on the second, and Wish on the third. Push back actions each time.

"Both trainers make swaps to preserve their low HP Pokemon."

"I find that a little weird. Why not just go out with one last hurrah?"

"Well, to be fair, both Pokemon have the potential to still be a factor. Endure exists, after all."

"Obviously this Dark-type guy has everything under control, why are you questioning this?"

"...The challenger did the same thing, though..."

"Copycat."

"Yeah, okay..."

"Gardevoir's Trace activates, copying Greninja's ability to change types with every move!"

"Sounds annoying."

"Greninja seems unimpressed, launching a garbage can-shaped ball of sludge right at Gardevoir, dealing a lot of damage and becoming a Poison-type!"

"Awesome, that Lizzie knock off won't stand a chance against a Poison-type!"

"Well, I'd hold your tongue, as Gardevoir smartly uses Psyshock, dealing an equally large amount of damage right back thanks to Greninja's type change!"

"Yeah, a Psychic/Fairy-type definitely wouldn't stand a chance against a Poison-type, sure..."

"Shut your mouth, bird brain..."

"Greninja, probably not liking that damage it just took, takes a U-Turn right out of the battle, hitting Gardevoir in the process."

"Ah, a good ol' tactical retreat!"

"Gardevoir won't let Greninja run away with out a toll, launching a powerful Moonblast as a parting gift!"

"Can the tactical retreat be defined as 'good' if you got hit during it?"

"Sure it can, it's not a lethal blow."

"But wouldn't the point be to not get hi- oh, whatever..."

"Greninja has some choice words for Gardevoir on its way out, while Gardevoir gives it a malicious kiss to show how she felt about that.

With that, Greninja is returned to its Pokeball, leaving a decently damaged Gardevoir and the option of either the weakened Drapion or the tricky Sableye as replacements. What will jjayy do from here and how will Birkal respond?"
