[center][h1][color=c75b14]‘WELL YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE THEN!!!’[/color]
[color=bdc1d9]‘MACHOOOOOOOOOOOOKE!!!’[/color][/h1][/center]

The beginning of the nightmare had already begun as soon as Erza entered the gym. The man who shouted - whom Erza assumed to be Hector - looked as if he could take down Erza's entire team WITHOUT a pokémon - imagine what his pokémon could do? Swallowing dry, Erza tried to keep his cool as he moved forward, breathing deeply and fighting every sense of instinct that told him to go back through the door. He needed this badge - it was the only rightful payment for his team's hard work.

The place was tense, the smell of sweat and the sounds of trainer and pokémon training together was nearly mesmerizing. Bringing his pokédex out timidly, Erza began scanning the pokémon in the area for information: The entire Machop-line was present, as well as some rare pokémon such as Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan. A Medicham was also present - a pokémon Erza had never seen before, as well as the Judo and Karate pokémon: Throh and Sawk. Lastly, a single Pangoro wandered through and Erza couldn't help but think of how cool this pokémon looked: A real tough, intimidating and certainly powerful pokémon.

There was a bit of conversation/shouting between trainer and pokémon, which made Erza feel a little more intimidated than he already was and the boy was already struggling, his mind racing as he thought about everything told to him about the gym leader up to this point: An eccentric, oddball of a gym leader that would come up with a very frightening and hard challenge for Erza to take. Damn. As much as Erza trusted his pokémon with all his heart and might, it was inevitable that he felt nervous- he could feel sweat forming on his forehead and it wasn't due to a lack of air-conditioner. 

Hector laughed - and the gym silenced. The man seemed pleased with Erza's entrance - too bad all that vigor and determination was fighting his nervousness right now. 

[color=00b300]"Five levels fourteen, one level fifteen."[/color] Erza replied while pocketing the pokédex, glancing to his shoulder, where Vee was. A comment from a battle-girl made Erza light up a bit. She was joking, right? Just like she was joking about eating him, yeah? Hopefully...

Three trainers, two each. So Erza would use his entire team - right, apparently, the brilliant idea was that Erza would fight every trainer in here. What about Hector, then?

And just as Erza thought about that, Hector explained the challenge in full. Erza remained silent for a moment, thinking it through. So, after fighting the three gym trainers, without even healing his pokémon - only then, he'd take on Hector himself. Heh. Another glance at Vee, which seemed quite confident, made Erza smirk broadly.

[color=00b300]"Oh, yeah?! Well! LET'S GET THIS THROUGH, THEN. All I gotta do is get through the three of you without giving a chance for your pokémon to touch mine. Heheheh..."[/color] Easier said than done for sure, but Erza wasn't going back on this. There was even a huge benefit of knowing the three pairs he would have to fight before actually picking his pokémon. Erza whispered on Vee's ear, then returned the normal-type to his pokéball. 

Let's see...

First, Meditite and Throh.

Second, Makuhita and Croagunk.

Third and lastly, Mankey and------ What the heck?! A shiny pokémon?! Woah, it was as if destiny was intent on rubbing Erza's inability to catch one for himself.

So,

Against Meditite and Throh, Erza will use Poochyena and Pidgey.

Against Makuhita and Croagunk, Erza will use Budew and Vulpix.

And lastly, against Mankey and Hawlucha, Erza will use Eevee and Flaffy.

[color=00b300]"I've selected my teams, let's get this started! Shadowfang, Princess go!"[/color]

[hider=Fight 01, Charline]
Now, both pokémon present a huge threat to Shadowfang, since he's a dark-type. Thing is, his bite still deals normal damage to Meditite as it's a psychic/fighting type. Erza will start with Howl, to increase Shadowfang's attack.

Meanwhile, Princess will immediately use gust on Throh. 

Now that this turn has passed and Erza realizes the intention of using Bide on both of her pokémon, he switches his tactics and instead orders both of his pokémon to attack Throh. The idea is to get rid of it before it has a chance to use Bide. Princess will go for gust again, while Shadowfang will go for a tackle. Hopefully, this gets rid of Throh.

After that, once again Princess will gust, but Meditite. Shadowfang will go for bite. Until it gets taken out. [/hider]

[hider=Fight 02, Dale]
Flora and Summer. The combo is fairly simple: Summer's drought+ember straight for Croagunk. Maybe this one has dry skin ability?

Meanwhile, Flora uses growth, amplifying its attacking stats. No idea which one will be targetted by Makuhita's fake out, but whoever it is, Erza will just use the move again.

If hopefully Vulpix manages to burn the toad to a crisp and gets rid of this particular tough pokémon, it will switch to Makuhita. Using confuse-ray on it so hopefully the pokémon hits itself with the increased attack from power-up punch. Budew will stun spore the Makuhita as well, to make it easier to hit and slower as well, then keep mega-draining until it goes down.[/hider]

[hider=Fight 03, Madeline]
Vee and Pharia. Vee uses helping hand on Pharia, Pharia thundershocks Hawlucha for supereffective damage. Does that take it out? If not, next turn, Vee's quick-attacking Hawlucha, hopefully taking it off before it uses roost... But if did get taken out on the first turn just like that, Vee's using baby-doll eyes on Mankey. Pharia goes for Thunder Wave.

Then, Erza quick-attacks Mankey and Pharia goes for thundershock. This repeats itself until Mankey is unable to fight if nothing extraordinary happens. [/hider]
