I've got mine in. As inspiration struck, it became something that revisited a world I had previously constructed. We'll see how it fares.

@shylarah ... Do you pronounce "reality" as "realitee" or "see" as "sy"?
Oh, dear. I thought I was somehow immune to becoming busy. My apologies. Now, then. Where was I?
@Pikmin Eye@Lasrever@Eklispe Alright. You've all done well. Now, for an act of mercy for us roleplayers...
Ellyn's plan is “Hide behind the Hoppip, Leer the everliving something out of the opposing Pokémon and then peck them from unexpected angles when their defense is low enough, dodge everything”, which if roleplayed would take forever to actually get to the end of due to the bird's speed. I therefore suggest that we either simply skip a bit forward in time there and you type your general actions in a post and I can then summarize it into how the battle went, or that we have that you all three attack the Hoppip and that somehow takes out both the opponents as Natu's hiding behind #2. Or, well, anything you guys would suggest. It's all for you, after all. Haha.
@Rune_Alchemist And, as for you, um. Yeah. You're free to do what you like. I have a world here. Feel free to suggest something to do. Waiting for the end might take a while.
Now, then. @Delta44@Pyromaniacwolf@Pink Madness@Pirouette@Keyblade87, is there anything specific preventing you from posting? Maybe the two former are for tactical discussion reasons, maybe not, but the other three are in one-on-one fights. So, let's hear it.

@Eklispe@Pikmin Eye@Lasrever Ellyn's brows twitched at Dawkin's suggestion. It seems she was childish enough not to take that comment too well.
'… The battle continues until all Pokémon on one side has fainted.' Ellyn commented. Then she turned her attention to the battlefield. 'Bird. Peck the water-creature one more time, then fall back to your right and back to the plant.' She commanded. The Natu obeyed the command. It found itself tail-whipped, it's defense lowered further. However, the tail whip likely meant it would be able to get its Peck in unless things took an unexpected turn. With his defense lowered earlier as well as taking multiple pecks, Winston would then find himself considerably damaged and would likely fall from another Peck.
But, if the Natu had attempted to make another Peck, it would also have allowed itself to be boxed in and locked down. Ellyn was too intelligent to let that happen, so after the Peck the bird jumped high to its right, for it is difficult for two slower Pokémon to box in a bird. The Natu yet had the speed-advantage, although its defense was considerably lowered and one of its opponents was an Aron, making victory unlikely indeed, as the victory hung on merely Peck.
'Defend the bird!' Simon commanded, and #2 bounced to meet where the Natu was fleeing.
'Ooooh...' Maple stood with a fairly distressed expression, her hands raised as if trying to do something to help her team, but as Maggy lay fainted, she knew the rules of the game she had participated in.

Ewan silently watched Claire's and Ralia's little celebration, looking a little defeated but also a little more brightened up than he had looked when he had arrived. At the grin and the thumb's up, he nodded with agreement.
'It was. You used some inventive tactics, I'll need to keep such in mind in the future. Well fought.' He confirmed, a hint of a little smile on his face, before he continued. 'I'll hope to challenge you again at some point when my team has been completed.'
'…' He looked over at where Joshua was fighting Reiji, putting his hands on his hips a little. Clearly, now he also had someone which he had to wait for.
Over there where the adults were watching, Kalmia was grinning widely at the two battles which it appeared her trainers had been doing well, and also with more determination at those which had yet to be determined. Jacques stood still, smiling but otherwise nothing betraying his emotional state, as his intrusive gaze inspected each individual for themselves. He did not give any reaction to Abigail's look at him.

I am under the impression that male and female brains look the same. ... We're all human, after all, and a statement to a male brain should look alike to the statement to a female brain. All authors ever play characters of both genders, assuming the book isn't co-written by a male and female writer and they let each other do the parts with the male and female characters, and that's just stupid.
I'm going to say what said person told you was stupid. There's no "way to play a female character". It's the same as playing a male character. You know how their personality is, and you amount all their experiences up until that point to factor into the situation at hand. This makes every character unique. Sure, female experiences and male experience usually differ in a specific way, but all-in-all this is just a generalization and not fact. You can't say "you play a character badly", because that could just be how that specific situation that character would react. The only time this isn't necessarily correct is if you're playing a character you didn't create.
Just keep playing as you like. They can't tell you how to play your characters. I play both male and female characters as I please, both as GM and as player, as well as a writer. I've not noticed any particular problems so far, with perhaps the exception that many of my characters share my morals a little too exactly. Nothing about gender. So, I'm going to say there's nothing wrong with how you play females, even without samples.
And that's that. Just wanted my word in there.

Huh. That was... considerably simpler than I thought it'd be. Or am I just a fool who doesn't see how difficult this really is? ... Eh.
... Heh, the line between being famous and being infamous is sometimes very thin, I discover as I am brainstorming...

@Pink Madness Well posted. Now, you've got a little situation on your hands, which you've gotten into by natural logic. Good luck with that one.
@Keyblade87 Alright. As you're in a 1-v-1 battle it doesn't matter THAT much if you're a bit delayed, but I'd still be happy to see you come somewhere~
@Pyromaniacwolf Well. Looks like Delta posted, so maybe we can get this on the road~
@Delta44 Well posted, though a bit late. A lot late. I would greatly appreciate if you could get to it a little faster the next time. That said, let's get this battle going~! ... And my apologies about what happened in the post, it's just that it's a combination of Fake-Out being a priority move and that I need to make Flinching matter in one way or another. Haha. Sorry about that. But, yes. You two... have considerable opponents.
@Rune_Alchemist Well posted! ... Teh-heh. I'll have you know, when it comes to random effects like these, I make use of dices to ensure the effect is actually random. And this time... yeah. XD
@Eklispe@Pikmin Eye Well posted. I'll continue that as soon as we have @Lasrever's post as well.
Oh, and for learning moves... We're APPARENTLY using ORAS Move Level learning things. Because Ralia knew Confusion at level 5. This meant that suddenly Horsea didn't know Water Gun, which I thought it did. Instead it knew Bubble. Huh. Alright, then. We'll take this into account for now.
... We're not going to incorporate Sun/Moon things into this when that game comes out. XD

Sven pursued Ralia, now guided by the smell which would make dodging considerably harder, but Claire's strategy had proved fruitful, as Sven was definitely more damaged than Ralia. Ralia focused her psychic powers and directed her attacks at the incoming pig Pokémon, and the attack hit the charging Swinub.
'S-swi...!' Sven recoiled a little, but kept dashing forward towards Ralia, but... it's trail curved, the Pokémon's charge becoming something likable to the swirling of a drunken madman. 'Sw-swiiiii~!'
Sven became confused!
'SWINUB!' Sven jumped a fair bit into the air, apparently with the intention of crashing down upon his opponent after a fair bit of curving his attack-path. However, upon the brown Pokémon had jumped into the air, a fact became undeniably clear. Despite Odor Sleuth, this attack was only going to hit pavement.
'Sven.' Ewan stated his Pokémon's name when he was still mid-air, and the Swinub suddenly slightly shook his head. 'Swinub?' Sven asked, as if just waking up from what was happening right before it planted its face with an audible impact into the asphalt, Ewan's expression twitching a little from imagining the pain his Pokémon had just suffered. The Swinub stayed there for a couple of moments, like a Swinub statue rooted into the ground by his face, rear legs into the air...
It hurt itself in its confusion!
'… Swi...' Finally, Sven fell over from the position onto his back, and couldn't continue the battle. Sven had fainted. Ewan raised a lonely hand along with his blank face as if trying to help his Pokémon out, but the hand then dropped helplessly back to retrieve the Pokéball to return Sven to his Pokéball.
Sven fainted!
'You fought well.' Ewan complimented his Pokémon. Claire and Ralia were victorious. If they cheched their Pokédex, they'd find...

Flame used Ember to free herself, which was extremely effective, the vines burning to pieces. However, it did no damage to Flabébé herself and it kept Flame in place for long enough that Flabébé could home in and do another Tackle. Directly after, Flame was able to shoot an Ember into the face of the flower fairy.
'Flaaa~' Flabébé recoiled a bit, but then smiled as happily as ever. Both Pokémon were getting damaged, however, Flame was more damaged than Flabébé. At this rate, the situation was not looking too good.
'It's working. Flabébé, use more Vine Whips! Root her in place for your Tackles. Proceed as you have!' Cathia commanded, and the fairy happily obeyed, shooting out more low-going whips to attempt attaching to Flame's legs, while homing in for another Tackle, intending on continuing the seemingly working strategy.

Oaken frowned as the Pokémon of the enemy were released. During the time when Lucian was encouraging Houndour to fight rather than steal watches and Ren was confirming their readiness with Shyn, the glassed green-haired boy whispered a number of words to Rodger, Champ and Horsea, Rodger smiling as he heard what Oaken was saying.
'Heh, you've got this all figured out...' Rodger commented, looking forward with a confident and maybe slightly intimidating stare.
'Naturally. I know all about their Pokémon, as I researched all Pokémon kinds I could beforehand.' Oaken replied, his eyes gazing at his opposition.
'Aren't you taking a bit of the fun out of exploring for yourself with that? Not complaining, but...' Rodger asked, turning his eyes a little at his current partner.
'Efficiency is key. I don't want to make a habit of being ineffective, ever.' Oaken told, and with that, he took a step forward. 'You know what to do.'
'That's right.' Rodger nodded.
The Horsea and Champ the Tyrogue stood ready and willing to fight. Houndour sent an Ember at Champ, while Shyn dashed forward towards Horsea to protect his comrade and to Flash at Horsea...
'FAKE OUT!' 'Bubble.' The two young men gave their commands at the same time.
'TYROGUE!' With a speed that was essentially impossible to follow with the naked eye, the Tyrogue vanished from the location where he had patiently waited to be fired an Ember at, meaning the Ember would miss its target. With a speed faster than a Quick Attack, Champ flew forward and hit its palms forward at Shyn mid-dash. It was impossible to dodge. The palms did not do much damage, but the sudden shock of their hit meant Shyn would momentarily flinch, unable to do his action, so the intended Flash did not happen this time. That, and Champ was now right next to him, the best place to be a Fighting-type Pokémon.
'Hors...!' At the same time, however, Horsea had floated forward to meet Shyn. The Horsea had inhaled before shooting out a flurry of fast-moving projectile bubbles that due to the flinching would be difficult to avoid. That, and the high special attack of the shooting water-Pokémon meant the bubbles would likely do a considerable amount of damage unless prevented, though not less than would have been done to Houndour in case of a hit. Champ, of course, jumped slightly back to not get hit by the flurry of hard bursting bubbles.
'We can't have our Pokémon be blinded. We'll focus our firepower on the Shinx, and as soon as it is out we'll move on to the Houndour. Fake-Out will have given us the first round to do extra damage, and it should be out within two more rounds. The dog will then not be able to resist us.' Oaken mercilessly declared, his strategy all planned out.
'Righto. For now, you're the boss.' Rodger smiled, excited and focused on the battle. 'It'll be fun overcoming you, later.'
'Hmpf. I dare you to try.' Oaken replied, supreme confidence abour his own victory making itself known. His eyes then looked forward at Lucian and Ren, the glare telling that the move was theirs to try to overcome this situation.

Claire was victorious! Claire gained 1000 P for winning!
Ralia grew to Level 6! Ralia learned Double Team!

And now, let me respond.
Firstly, to roughly anyone who want to know a bit about my entry... I intended to write a full, proper story with this basis that I wrote Dryads with. A full story with more characters, more developments, more established setting and more of such. But, as I got very busy during the days of the competition, I decided that I would simply spend an hour or two writing down the story I had as a short story that's pretty much simply the script the larger story would have. I still intentionally made it a readable story, that I'm actually pretty proud of, but yeah, it doesn't actually contain a single actual line and it's all from the perspective of a god looking at the world, you know what I mean. It wasn't really meant to compete for the votes, but I wanted the story I had in my mind not to go to waste. Haha.
