[@Typical] Escaping from the forest they’d apparently set on fire, Eryn and co got to the maze before them. Choosing to brave the maze full of Lunatones instead of confronting the Houndoom, she sent out Eri disguised as a Lunatone… Eri passed into the view of a Lunatone… and got promptly ignored. Bet he had super good reason to be way out here. Didn’t matter to the Lunatones, that stuck to their personal patrolling routes. With other words, Eryn had a scout which would not trigger the Lunatones to map out her route for her! It still wasn’t easy. Even with Eri scouting ahead, it could still be hard to predict where a Lunatone would come next and stealthily maneuvering the maze it happened more than a couple of times that they had to make a hasty retreat because the patterns of the Lunatones closed together a little too fast for safe passing. However, slowly but surely, she made progress. But… Umbreon was still following her. Not doing anything, just following. The Lunatones wasn’t bothering to notice the Umbreon, who wasn’t one of the Pokémon they were to hunt. Yet, Umbreon was not, so far, calling attention to the infiltrators of the maze. Just following at a set distance, watching calmly while following with graceful steps. Still, assuming Eryn just tried to ignore Umbreon for now, she endured a long and hard piece of stealth mission, but it was looking like it was working, and finally, she turned a left to- [hider=???] A kid stood before her, grinning excitedly, making a salute to her as she approached him, and the Rattata that stood ready for battle in front of him. The Rattata is wearing a small red sash… [color=6c8cb8]‘You’ve done well to get this far!’[/color] the youngster told her. [color=6c8cb8]‘You’ve shown that you can think fast in a pinch and that your reasoning won’t be affected. That you can be clever in the face of adversary. But you’re not done with this trial yet…’[/color] the kid grins so widely at her.

[color=6c8cb8]‘The battle is 1-on-1, but my Rattata will take on your whole team, one by one! But, you can’t switch Pokémon mid-battle, and I get to heal my Rattata each time he faints an opponent! Got it!?’[/color] Assuming Eryn got it… [color=6c8cb8]‘Now, let’s see if you can pass… the TRIAL OF F.E.A.R!’[/color] [center][url=http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/46/019Rattata.png][img]http://i.imgur.com/p8F42cq.png[/img][/url][/center] … The enemy is a Level 1 Rattata. It’s wearing a Focus Sash. It knows Tackle, Quick Attack and Endeavor. What’s Eryn’s move?[/hider] __________________________ [right][sub][sub][url=https://youtu.be/Ui6wp7VV9VU?t=165]Gym battle in progress[/url][/sub][/sub][/right] [@Gardevoiran] Skylar called back Celebrity in order to send out JoJo, who immediately commenced to Double Team. Lorette looked down at her no-sign-of-waking up Beedrill, and… [color=7192de]‘Ah, no. That just won’t do,’[/color] Lorette said, a little smile on her lips as she brought out a Pokéball and called back her Pokémon. [color=7192de]‘Alright, sorry, Beedrill, you’re not the right bug for the job.’[/color] So she said, as she put down the Pokéball into a pocket somewhere and then took out another Pokéball. [color=7192de]‘So, for your next challenge… how about you take on one of my two aces?’[/color] Lorette smirked, as she threw the Pokéball and a new shape took form in front of the multiple JoJos. A small and red rock with a bunch of little limbs sticking out of it, looking forward at the JoJos with a confused looking expression… [center][url=https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/c/c7/213Shuckle.png][img]https://i.imgur.com/grgMgsm.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #213 – Shuckle, the Mold Pokémon. It stores berries inside its shell. It is naturally shy and typically hide under rocks, keeping its body concealed inside its exceedingly hard shell while eating stored berries. The berries mix with its body fluids to become a delicious juice that it secretes through various holes.[/i][/color][/center] Now, switching Pokémon is a move, so Skylar’s allowed to make an action here. But, if JoJo’s still the Pokémon on the field, Lorette will start the next round by announcing… [color=7192de]‘Shuckle! Rock Slide!’[/color] [color=f0c954]‘Shuuuuu…!’[/color] Shuckle called out loudly, and, for some reason, a large amount of rocks suddenly came falling from the skies! … Really, utterly tiny rocks on account of Shuckle’s [i]pathetic[/i] attack power that will do middling damage at best, but they’d make it really hard for all of JoJo’s clones to get out of the way unscathed, hence the real one becoming easier to hit and notice…! Skylar’s next move? Now, two turns of Lorette’s were described here, so Skylar can also do two moves in a row next turn if he so wishes. And, Smiley won’t wake up when he’s not on the field, because Pokémon battle rules. Same goes with Lorette’s Beedrill now.
