Minor League. [/hider] [hr] Boy, was it hot up here or was it just her? Probably both? Both sounded good. Chuckling to herself at the thought, Claire followed the butler out onto a larger platform as Ramsey closed the hatch behind her. A sea of trees stretched out before her, and she had to hold a hand up to shield her eyes from the harsh sunlight. Looked like she was in a place for fire types, not grass types, hah! It was difficult for her to make anything out with the harsh sunlight, but she could vaguely make out a person moving in the distance. So that was Archie, then. [color=#d3381c]"Wow, that looks like fun, hahah!"[/color] Claire chuckled brightly as she watched him run across the treetops, playing with the pokemon. Ah, she almost wanted to join him and try for herself, but she were here for a gym challenge! Whooping butt first, fun times later, and soon enough Archie ran over, leaping and running across the treetops towards the platform they were standing on...and promptly started prancing around her. [color=#d3381c]"Wahaha, well, I dunno about fire, but I'm a feisty one."[/color] Claire grinned in reply. [color=#d3381c]"I am a precision machine of fabulousness and willpower."[/color] Archie then introduced himself formally after the butler commented on his manners. Wow, stick in the mud. He went on to explain the rules of the battle. She used six, he used three. Easy enough, and wasn't likely to be as harsh as Hectors. Hopefully, besides she had some strong pokemon with her against grass types, so this should be easy! So the battle started, barely noticing whatever it was Ramsey had just did. [color=#d3381c]"Holy-"[/color] Claire took a step back as the giant Liligant towered over her. [color=#d3381c]"That's a big flower!"[/color] Some people might have been intimidated by this pokemons size. It was huge, and more than a little intimidating...but Claire was not those people. Grinning confidently, Claire took an aggressive stance, reaching for one of her own pokeballs. Well, there was one thing this Gym leader got wrong about her. She only had one fire type, and she was only going to use him if she absolutely needed too. First thing first, she needed to take down this unusually sized Liligant. [color=#d3381c]"Alright, Del! Show this overgrown weed whose boss!~"[/color] Throwing out her pokeball, beedrill appeared in a flash of red light, buzzing confidently before he saw exactly who his opponent was. [color=f26522]"...beedrill."[/color] [color=#d3381c]"Wahaha, don't give me that look! You can kick that things butt! Poison Sting! Try and poison it!"[/color] She was confident that Beedrill was faster than a plant, but the pokemon's level might be higher. Buzzing in mild seeming acceptance, Del sped towards the Liligant, stingers bared and ready to try poisoning the large grass type.
