The heroes shortly after arrived to the gym. Opal, an elderly lady clad in pink and carrying an umbrella saw them enter the gym. She eyed the group up and down. "Ah, I see I have some applicants here to be my replacement at the Fairy Gym, she said with a smile. "But, it will take more than just beating me in a battle to prove you are a fitting replacement. "Ma'am," Liam replied. "I think there has been a mix-up, we are here for the badge, not to become the next gym leader." Opal disregarded what Liam said and told him they'd each use four Pokemon, sending out her first one, a regional form for Weezing. "[i]Weezing, Galarian Form. The Poison Gas Pokemon. The evolved form of Koffing. A Poison and Fairy-Type. This Pokémon consumes particles that contaminate the air. Instead of leaving droppings, it expels clean air. Weezings took this form for some reason at a time where droves of factories filled the Galarian skies with pollution.[/i]" "[i]It could still have Levitate as an ability. That leaves Psychic and Steel as weaknesses. I don't want to pull out my secret weapon yet, so I guess this will have to do.[/i]" Liam thought to himself as he readied a Luxury Ball. "Duralladon! It's time to shine!" The Steel/Dragon emerged from its ball with a roar. [u][b][color=ed1c24]Opal[/color][/b]-vs-[b][color=8dc73f]Liam[/color][/b][/u] [b][color=ed1c24]G. Weezing[/color][/b]-1-[b][color=8dc73f]Duraladon[/color][/b] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-2-[color=8dc73f]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-3-[color=8dc73f]?[/color] [color=ed1c24]?[/color]-4-[color=8dc73f]?[/color] "Use Fairy Wind!" Opal called. The move would do normal damage overall. "Iron Defense!" Liam called, Liam thought it might be best to prepare Duraladon for doing as much damage as he could. The normal damage attack was softened a bit by the move. "Upping your defenses? I guess I got the dragon-boy scared." Opal chuckled. "Tell me deary, Have you heard what they used call me? Was it: A) The Wizard B) The Magic User or C) Magical Girl "Trivia during a gym battle? This is a new one." Liam commented. "To be honest, I have never heard of a nickname for you. So, I don't know, C?" A buzzer filled stadium. "Sorry Dearie, that's incorrect." Opal said shaking her head. "Weezing, Use Fairy Wind again!" This time the attack hit, but it seemed as though it hit [i]harder[/i] this time, despite the defense buff. "Duralladon, use Laser Focus!" Duralladon took careful aim at the ball of gas. "Smokescreen," Opal called trying to obscure line of sight. "Now, Flash Cannon!" The attack was guarnted to be a critical hit. The beam of white light shot thru the smokescreen, splitting to cloud in two down the middle and striking Weezing, making it crash to the ground. Weezing floated back up, able to still go for more. She used Fairy Wind again, scoring a crit as well. "Metal Burst!" Liam called. Duraladon knocked back with damage stronger than what it was just smacked with. Weezing tried Tackle, but missed. "Hyper Beam!" Liam called. "Fairy Wind!" Opal called. The attacks collided and resulted in a double KO. the audience cheered at the great battle as each trainer recalled their Pokemon, praising it for the good job. "Neither Pokemon is able to continue, this match is a draw!" The ref announced. Opal next called on Mawile and Liam sent Beckham out.

Opal called out. "What is my favorite color? A) Pink B) Purple or C) Grey?" "[i]Grey seems out of place with those other two,[/i]" Liam thought to himself. "[i]But at the same time, that doesn't mean its right. A lot of people might assume pink because a lot of people assume girls like pink. So, could it be?[/i]" "Purple?" Liam asked. A small chime echoed on the stadium. "Yes, I love a nice, deep purple, isn't it just grand?" She asked. "Beckaham, Flame Charge!" Liam called. Beckham seemed to move faster than normal and scored a good hit on Mawile. "Iron Defense," Opal commanded. Mawile upped its defenses. "Pyro Ball!" Liam ordered. The attack was launched at Mawile, who slammed its jaw tail onto the ground to propel its self off the ground and out of the way on time, doing a mid-air flip and landed a Draining Kiss on Beckham. Beckham was weakned as Mawhile regained health. "Now, Double Kick!" Liam called. Beckham quickly gave its adversary a couple of swift kicks, sending it crashing into the ground. Mawile stood back up, panting heavily before Opal called for Crunch. Mawile went charging in toward Beckham. "Beckham, Flame Burst!" Beckham took off in a run toward Mawile chaging into it. He got hit, but took out Mawile. "Mawile is unable to continue, Beckham the Cinderace wins!" The ref announced. Opal praised Mawile for the good job as she recalled it, Liam told Beckham to come back and take a breather. Opal sent out Togekiss next. Liam tagged Beckham out and before he could send out another Pokemon, Toxel burst out of his ball, landing in the arena and was registered as Liam's third Pokemon. "Well, I guess it can't be helped," Liam thought. [u][color=ed1c24]Opal[/color]-vs-[color=8dc73f]Liam[/color][/u] [s][color=ed1c24]G.

Opal called. "How old am I? A) 16, B) 80 c) 24? " "Liam smirked. ""I refuse to answer that one. It is impolite for young man to ask her woman her age." Opal blushed. "Why, no one has ever thought to give that as an answer before." Opal said. She seem genuinely impressed. "Togekiss, Air Slash!" Togekiss launched the attack. Toxel quickly rolled to the side to avoid the move. "Nuzzle!" Toxel darted up to Togekiss and affectionetely rubbed against it, causing some damage and made Togekiss become paralyzed. "Ancient Power," Opal called. The attack hit and gave Togekiss the Omniboost. "Use Acid!" The blob of poison hit and did a good amount of damage. Togekiss tried to use Draining Kiss, but was paralyzed. Toxel tried Acid again, but missed. Togekiss tried Draining Kiss again, and made it. She recovered a bit of her health back, but not much. Toxel used Acid again, but it was cleaved in half by Air Slash. Toxel ran up to use Nuzzle again, but was smacked back into the wall behind Liam with Air Slash. Liam went over to make sure he was OK. Beckham popped out of his ball, concerned for the Toxel as well. As the ref was about to deem Toxel unable to continue, Toxel stood back up and began crying an ear piercing cry. While Crying he began to glow white and changed shape. where the little crying creature once stood now was a taller bipedal creature that would easially blend into a punk rock concert. "[i]Toxtrcity, Amped Form. The Evolved form of Toxel, An Electric and Poison-Type.When this Pokémon sounds as if it's strumming a guitar, it's actually clawing at the protrusions on its chest to generate electricity. This short-tempered and aggressive Pokémon chugs stagnant water to absorb any toxins it might contain. [/i]" "Toxtrcity, use Shock Wave!" The unmissing ball of electrcity hit its target, being more than Togekiss could take at this point. "Togekiss is unable to continue, Toxtrcity Wins!" Opal recalled her. "My morning tea is kicking in, and not a moment too soon," Opal said with a smile as she sent out her final Pokemon. It looked as though the small creature was made from frosting. "[i]Alcreamie, the Cream Pokemon. A Fairy-Type. When it trusts a Trainer, it will treat them to berries it's decorated with cream. When Alcremie is content, the cream it secretes from its hands becomes sweeter and richer. The flavor of its cream can vary depending on varying circumstances from when it evolved.[/i]" [u][color=ed1c24]Opal[/color]-vs-[color=8dc73f]Liam[/color][/u] [s][color=ed1c24]G.

Opal asked. "I'm going to have some fun with this," She recalled Alcreamie to its ball, and activated her Dynamax Band. When Alcreamie reemerged from her ball, she resembled a giant wedding cake. "Poison Jab!" Liam called. Opal smirked. "You lack pink, let us give you some, Use G-Max Finale!" A spray of frosting was launched across the battlefield, made a direct hit on Toxtrcity before he could reach the G-Max Pokemon, KO'ing him. Before the Ref could say anything, Beckham, who was still standing on the sidelines ran out, ready to fight again. Liam recalled Toxtcity.

The ball of fire was launched, it melted away huge swatches of the frosting as it went, and made a direct hit to the middle of the giant Pokemon. Alcreamie used G-Max Finale again, healing itself and activating Blaze. Beckham fired Pyro Ball again, this one being bigger thuse melted away even more frosting, before hitting the target (G-Max 2) Beckham used Flame Charge, but slipped on a bit of the frosting that he missed, giving Alcreramie a change to finish him off. Liam, having no choice left resorted to his secret weapon, his Alolan Sandslash. "Slushie! It's time to shine!" Liam tossed the Luxury Ball, the blue Sandslash emerged as The Annoucer plugged his Rotomdex into the PA system and had it broadcast Slushie's dex entry. "[i]Sandslash, Alolan Form. The Mouse Pokemon. An Ice and Steel-Type. This is a form Sandslash took to adapt to the Alola Region. It has ice-coated steel spikes for quills, one stab from these can lead to frostbite.[/i]" [u][color=ed1c24]Opal[/color]-vs-[color=8dc73f]Liam[/color][/u] [s][color=ed1c24]G.

Sandslash[/color] "Slushie, Defense Curl!" Liam called. Slushie curlled up into a spiky ball, in preperation for the oncoming attack and one other reason. The final G-Max Finale was launched. "Spin Slushie!" Liam called. The Spike blue ball began to spinning in place spraying the attack all over and into a frozen treat. Liam noted that this seemed very reminceant of contests and remind him how much he missed them. 'Now Ice Ball!" Slushie slid across the floor and smacked into Alcreamie dealing some damage. Alcreamie returned to its normal size. Slushie went in for round to on Ice Ball, but missed. Alcremie used Draining Kiss, to recover some health. Liam swapped his Z Crystals around."Now Slushie, lets wrap this up. Use Subzero Slammer! Slushie channeled Icicle Crash into the move, KO'ing Alcreamie. "Alcreamie is unable to continue, Slushie wins. The victor is Challenger, Liam Coleman!" The crowd erupted into applause. "Your pink is still lacking, but you're an excellent Trainer with some excellent Pokémon." Opal praised as she shook Liam's hand, and gave him the Fairy Badge. Liam praised Slushie for the good job. They then walked back over to the sidelines to let one of the others take her on.
