Minor League. [/hider] [hr] Getting back to the Stillwood was a breeze, and locating the Gym was even easier since she didn't have to wade through a sea of angry grass types and spores. Treehouse was an impressive sight, especially the grand staircase. The structure curved around the entirety of treehouse, white pillars that seemed to be made to look like trees holding it aloft and next to it was a sign giving information on the gym leader and who was in charge around here, and she was soon greeted by none other than the regional gym helper. [color=#d3381c]"Heh, hey there! Do I even want to know how you get to place to place so easily?"[/color] She grinned. [color=#d3381c]"Anyways, I got this! Thanks for the help though!"[/color] Before he could finish giving the rest of his information on grass types, Claire headed inside. She was greeted by another impressive sight. Were all gyms like this? Hectors wasn't super impressive, but it was in its own way. This Gym had an entirely different sort of impressiveness to it. The place was a forest in itself, with another large staircase leading up. Seeing the only path, she grinned and began running up the stairs to meet her first challenge. An Aroma Lady by the name of Tanya. Should be easy enough! Grass types had a lot of status moves. She wanted to start with Shroomish, then she'd start with her little ace. [color=#d3381c]"Alright Zeal!"[/color] She released the little fire monkey with an eager flourish. [color=#d3381c]"Start it off with taunt! Follow it up with Ember!"[/color] Beating the ground with his fists eagerly, Zeal would follow through. The fight would continue much as the same way, with Zeal simply using Ember and avoiding attacks unless another Taunt was needed to stop him from using status moves. Assuming all went well, the Shroomish would be easily dealt with. However, if he became severely injured in some way, She's swap him out for Ralia and use confusion to finish off the hopefully already weakened Shroomish. The same strategy would be used for Tangela. If Zeal was still out, simply use ember until defeated while keeping distance and avoiding Vine Whip. If Ralia was on the field or Zeal became injured, immediately switch to Lure who would begrudgingly use Gust to finish off the Tangela. With Treeko on the field, Zeal would use Taunt once more whilst relying on Ember the entire fight again. If Lure was out, switch to Ledyba who would first use Reflect & Light Screen. He would then use a combination of Comet Punch and Tackle until Treeko fainted. If he became injured, she'd swap once more to Lure and use her to finish off Treeko with Gust. After the battle, return and heal injured pokemon and come back. Battle against Daisy: Aroma Lady Daisy was up next. A Lileep? Well, good thing she already had experience with one of those! First she'd send out Zeal once more, using Taunt to prevent it from using status moves Grass types are known for. Zeal would avoid its attacks as best he could while using Power-Up Punch to both raise his attack and deal damage until fainted. If he becomes badly injured, Claire would switch to Pip for a little battle experience. Simply use Razor leaf until Lileep fainted. If she became injured, switch to Del to finish him off with poison stings. When she sent out the Whimsicott, if Zeal is still out simply use Taunt once more and then Ember until fainted. If Pip was out or Zeal became injured, immediately switch to Del who would use Poison Sting until Whimsicott fainted. If Del faints or becomes injured due to Gust, Switch to Ralia and use Double Team before finishing him off with Confusion using Teleport to dodge if needed. As soon as Lombre is sent out, if Zeal or any other pokemon is out switch to Pip for more battle experience. Alternate using Growl and Razor Leaf until defeated. If she faints swap to Ritz and use Reflect and Light Screen followed by repeated use of Comet Punch until defeated. Failing that, swap to Del who would use Poison Sting until Lombre was defeated. If Del had previously been defeated, swap to Ralia once more and use Double Team and Confusion. Of course, as soon as the battle is done, head to the pokemon center. Battle Against Ramsey: Send out Zeal, use Taunt when needed followed by repeated Ember use. If he faints or becomes significantly injured, immediately switch to Ritz. Use reflect, followed by repeated comet punches. Assuming Zeal is still in play against Lefeaon, Taunt & Ember strats once more until defeated. If Ledyba is out, keep up Reflect and try to confuse once. Afterwards, repeated Comet Punches. If he faints, switch to Lure and use Gust until Lefeaon is defeated. If Zeal is out, use Power-Up punch against the Dark/Grass type until he's defeated. If Ledyba is still out or Zeal faints, swap to Del and use Harden twice, followed by Poison Sting until defeated. If Lure is out, use Gust until defeated or she becomes injured then swap to Del and use above strategy. Afterwards, Heal pokemon one last time before heading up and challenging the Gym.
