Strength 7221P [/hider][hr][hr] Erika hurried over to the Stillwood Village Gym after the Pokemon Center. One glance up to the top of this massive treehouse had certainly been a slightly intimidating sight and perhaps, she was a bit mystified by the view up until she heard some chatter approaching her. Her gaze dropped to the spiraling staircase where two familiar characters were coming down. Of course, these two were some of Elite Four Jacques's prodigies. Erika let those two pass without stopping them, quietly trying to hide by keeping her head down. It was obvious those two had just challenged the Gym and won. She didn't want to broadcast she was up next for that still lingering doubt in her mind. Despite successfully not attracting the attention of the prodigies, Erika did manage to attract the attention of the Gym Buddy. She nodded along and paid attention as much as she could to be polite. However, she certainly knew all of this already. [color=6ecff6]"Mhm! Thank you for telling me all that."[/color] Erika smiled, continuing. [color=6ecff6]"I'm... going to do what my mom wanted. I'm going to be Pokemon Champion and it starts here."[/color] She clenched her fists tightly as her gaze wandered over to the stairs. With a deep breath, she took that plunge. Onward. Erika climbed up to the first platform. A trainer was awaiting her and she didn't know why, but these Aroma ladies always had this smug lording attitude, like they looking down on her! [color=6ecff6]"Let's do this."[/color] Was Erika's response. [hider=Tanya] Tara, as it turns out, was the most important addition to her team for this gym. Safeguard was vital to prevent being overwhelmed by status effects. So Tara was up first. Safeguard was the first move, followed by Peck. Peck until the fourth turn where Tara will Safeguard again to keep her status effect shield up. Assuming this works on Shroomish, Erika will keep Tara in for one turn against Tangela. Safeguard and then switch out for Chic. Ember with Chic until Tangela falls. Treekco will have Erika switch to Eep. Eep will then use Confuse Ray, Ingrain, and then trying to [i]melt[/i] the enemy with Acid.[/hider] Since Erika has a fiery spirit right now. She will use one potion on each: Tara, Eep, and Chic. Therefore allowing her to continue on. [hider=Daisy] If Erika was able to press on, she'd continue up the winding staircase to the second platform. Taking one glance at her opponent, her eyes narrowed into a glare. [color=6ecff6]"Oh. It's you."[/color] Erika's tone was far less excited compared to Daisy's. [color=6ecff6]"Fine. I'll defeat you at your best this time since you just got lucky last time."[/color] She replied, offering a bit of venom in those words. Speaking of, Eep was up first. Ingrain to Confuse Ray. Once Whimsicott got confused, it was Acid melting time. Since Erika was a bit unsure of Eep's success. Chic would be the potential backup to Ember Whimsicott down. Lombre would urge Erika to bring out Kay. Despite having Peck, Foul Play was Erika's play. Go until Lombre was defeated. Now for Vivillion, Tara would come up. Safeguard, switch Pokemon to Sno and then use Icy Wind to hopefully knock Vivillion out. Should that fail, Tara is back up. Safeguard into peck. [/hider] Assuming victory came from this battle, Erika would reluctantly retreat to use to Pokemon Center before pressing on. [hider=Ramsey] Erika if she had made it this far would be sure smugly walk past Daisy on her way back up. Then continuing she'd be met by Ramsay who was far nicer than those other two. [color=6ecff6]"Thank you! I'll prove to you that I am strong enough!"[/color] Skiddo would be met with Chic. Ember until hopefully managing to topple this opponent. Leafeon would be met by Tara who would use Mist immediately. Then Peck until she had to use Mist again to protect from accuracy loss. Nuzleaf would get Erika's own wily Pokemon, Kay. Thus, Erika was challenging Ramsey's knowledge a bit here, assuming he knew what Inkay's Topsy-Turvy did. Regardless, Reflect to Swagger to Topsy-Turvy! Then Peck the rest of the way! Relief Pokemon for these matches will be Gibs who will Sandstorm into Dragon Rage regardless of opponent.[/hider]
