[IC] Pokémon Hoenn: α and Ω

[manapool1]

Khuda nodded with a sober face, content with what she was being told and accepting the hate towards her. The last sentances made her mouth drop and her eyes widen. She couldn't use this pokemon? "But! But! That means I only have a monkey to take on the whole gym!"

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Well, there isn't much you can do on that." Liam said.

[manapool1]

"Well...I suppose this is the best I can do...besides, I wasn't really counting get on catching this ralts, so I guess it isn't too big a deal" she said before looking to her mankey and smiling. "Alright ralts, just you watch, your new trainer and buddy are going to single handedly take down that gym leader"

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Well, let's go to the gym." Liam said.

[James Davy]

"Don't worry, Khuda, your Mankey will be fine against Roxanne," Shiranui encouraged.

[manapool1]

"I hope so...I'm not sure how I feel about this...but I just need to follow my gut! We didn't train so hard for me to mope around like this after" she almost shouted before bursting out the door and walking at a fast pace towards the gym. "I can do this!"

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam and Co returned to the gym so Khuda could face Roxanne.

[manapool1]

Khuda gulped and looked to the two of them with a face expressing her worry. She was clearly very nervous, almost shaking, her hands clamy and her mankey far more eager that she was. "A-any advice? This is my first g-gym after all..."

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Well, you can't be nervous. Your Pokémon will sense it and be nervous as well." Liam said.

[James Davy]

"Know your Pokémon's capabilities and use them the best way you know how," added Shiranui, "Confidence is the key."

[manapool1]

"R-right!" She shouted, puffing her chest out and walking in with a swagger. She gave a thumbs up before turning to the gym leader and facing her. Roxxane looked to her and grinned, happy to see a new challenger. "Three in one day? How interesting?"

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam took a seat to root for the new trainer.

[pkken]

"If I can take on Roxanne and win so can you" Lance said trying to give the trainer confidence.

Khuda and her mankey walk to the gym leader, who was already getting out her pokeballs. Khuda was physically losing her nerve but tried to stay strong. Her mankey did nothing more than glare at Roxanne. She gave it a weird look before holding a pokeball out. Khuda gulped and prepared for the worst, jumping back to leave her pokemon in the battle field while she stayed back. She would try to restrain herself from joining in the attack with her mankey, as she was know to imitate his attack. Roxanne tossed her ball to the ground non-chalantly. Watching it let out a geodude, the mankey instantly locked eyes with it. He hit the geodude with a glare before the fighting could even began. Roxanne didn't seem to care, though her geodude was clearly now uneasy.
"Geodude! Rock throw!"
The gym leader chanted, watching her pokemon grip some of the rocks in the arena and tossing them at mankey with a pokeful intent. Khuda let out a shriek before pointing to her mankey. SHe was worried.
"Get out of the way, remember what I taught you!"
The mankey nodded, jumping twice before setting a good rythme. bounced out of the way just in time, he managed to dodge most of the rocks being thrown at him. Geodude picked up a large rock in the meantime, and gather a larger amount of strength tossed for a critical hit. Both Khuda and her pokemon where far too occupied to realize this, and by the time they where ready to react, the rock hit mankey hard in the head. The rock comically stayed smack dab on the mankey's face before falling. A visible flame in the eyes of the mankey exploded. He lept forward suddenly, faster than before, and sent a powerful barrage of comet punches and sent the geodude back into the wall, unconscious. Khuda cheered for him while roxanne looked to the mankey in surprise. She knew that the pokemon often times had anger point as one of their subtle abilities, but that was almost overkill. She would have to word harder with her next pokemon.

Liam was impressed with the first half of this gym battle.

[James Davy]

"That looked like Close Combat," commented Shiranui, seeing if Mankey suffered the move's negative effect of having both its Defence stats lowered.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Well, that may cause her some trouble." Liam stated.

[James Davy]

"Because Close Combat will cause both Defence stats to lower," added Shiranui in case Khuda heard their banter.

[manapool1]

"Hm, well, I'm not exactly impressed, you can't just rely on that mankey's anger point. Since I know it may be an issue in the future, I won't let you get the chance next time" She said rather calmly, letting out yet another geodude. Mankey's eye let out a feirce glint, and they became shrouded in darkness. Once again it took it's remotely muay thai looking stance and bounced slightly. Both Mankey and Khuda where a bit worried by these words. After a momentary staredown, roxanne made the first move. Pointing her finger with a stern look, she shouted her command.
"Geodude, rock throw!" She shouted, watching her pokemon do the same thing as last time. As the rocks came at mankey, they hit an after image, two of the rocks hitting a smiling khuda. "Ow...detect works I guess, Hit him with tackle!" She shouted, and the mankey that was now at the side dashed forward for a tackle.
"Hit him with your own" Roxanne shouted, and her geodude clashed tackles, mankey getting thrown back in pain. Her open palm slammed down. "Now, finish this! Rock tomb!"
Before khuda or mankey could respond, rocks surrounded the pokemon, coming from the ground. After a bit, mankey emerged, kicking a rock at the geodude. It barely missed and roxanne ordered for the pokemon to rock throw. Mankey narrowly dodged with suprisingly graceful, allbeit jagged spins and turns. Finally, reaching range, the geodude him with a tackle but mankey caught it this time. The had a clash to overpower one another before finally both mankey and khuda raised a fist, a glare full of the wildest intensity in mankeys eyes as he stared daggers at the geodude. The geodude gave into submission, only to be pummeled by comet punches, and a tackle. It was still barely afloat bespite a few more tackles and rock throws, mankey came up with significantly minimal damage, barely being touch. After getting close enough and enough scratches in, the geodude fell to exhaustion, being returned to it's ball.
"Hmm, this mankey is much more formidable then I expected, but then again, I suppose that is the fun in being a gym leader. I wonder how it will do against my final pokemon. Khuda gulped and she looked to mankey. She tossed him a berry and the monkey pig caught it without looking, devouring it and taking two steps back. Khuda turned to her tiny crowd with a worried expression. "W-what's her final pokemon?"
