So you wanna be a master?
Just gonna do my general town stuff in this thread too, so I don't have to run to six different places at once.

Buying a TM Stone Edge (7,500) from the TM house and then a Glalie doll (1k) from the Pokemart for 8,500z, which leaves me with 45,173z. Stone Edge forked to Delphi, filling her last slot.

Team is my dream babies, Sparky/Delphi/Pixie/Rage/Wendigo/Alfred. APL is sixtysomething I will check more stringently in case of battlin' times. APL IS 66 AND SOME CHANGE.

Taking my Sneasel egg from Celeste's thread and my new Dark egg and bringing them here.

Sneasel Egg: 11/20
Dark Egg: 1/13

Take it to one with legendary might
And he will show which way is right


"I sure hope this is the right place, otherwise I am going to feel really stupid and quite possibly very overwhelmed."

Well, it's not like that's anything new.

Cerb gave Delphi a very pointed glare as she brushed snow off her coat and shuffled around in the entryway of the Legendary gym. It was almost tempting to keep her boots on as a show of defiance, but the teen didn't want to get blasted back out the front doors for making a mess. Besides, those slippers looked kind of fluffy and cozy.

There wasn't much she could do about Delphi though. The Absol was covered in snow, had wet muddy paws, and she looked positively gleeful as she licked melting snowflakes off her snout. Cerb didn't understand how the previously island-dwelling Pokemon could be so at home in the ball-freezing temperatures of Slumber. She, herself, was pretty sure her boogers had frozen into icicles. "At least do me a favor and try not to get smited by anything, would you?" Cerb grumbled as she pulled off her coat and unwound her scarf, revealing the shivering Pikachu clinging onto the front of her sweater. "I don't want to scrape you off the floor with a toothbrush or anything."

You are a big'ol worrywart and you would at least need a shovel, Delphi chirped brightly. Cerb groaned as she shuffled into the slippers and snuggled Sparky more firmly into her arms.

Being in this gym, with nothing but black shiny rock and pillars, was downright creepy. Cerb wanted to get her business done and go. Padding on slippered feet into the main hall, she looked warily around as Delphi skipped by her side and left a lovely trail of water droplets on the polished onyx.

"Samson! Are you here?" Her voice echoed through the open room. Cerb gulped a little bit. "I've come to see you about Shaymin!"

I will be your regularly scheduled moderator for this evening!

The silence of the Slumber Gym was deafening. Until Cerb's arrival, nothing moved inside the Gym. Darkness reigned, the way Samson preferred his meditation. Losing oneself in the depths of the mind was just like losing oneself in the depths of the darkness. It was the perfect setting for waiting and studying the mysteries of the universe.

However, the moment Cerb's feet touched the floor, the lights flashed on, bright, blinding and powerful. As if it had sensed her bresence. And, from the other end of the room, Samson's eyes opened.

"Welcome to the Slumber Gym, Cerb E. Russ," Samson said. Who didn't know the famous trainers of the region? Those of the top of Black Tesla and Genesis were well-known to many people. Famous people kind of were like that. Her words were revealing, and Samson stopped for a moment. Interesting. Shaymin? Very interesting indeed. The Master of Legendaries thought for a moment about the words she said. But did she have the proof, to back it up? His eyes closed, and Samson drew on a great power...

"I sense it. I sense the Emblem on you," were the softly-murmured words by the Gym Leader, until he looked straight into Cerb's eyes with all of that imposing power and stared right into her soul.

"Very well. You have proven your worth in finding the Emblem of Shaymin. I will tell you about the beast of flowers, Cerb Russ..."

He paused. The pause was uncomfortably long as he paced around, retreiving the box containing the Poké Balls holding the masterful beasts themselves. All of them were plain Poké Balls, as if to signify that all of them could not be discerned from one another. Forty-seven beasts, arrayed, all ready to go.

"On one condition. You must fight me. With all your strength. Prove to me you are worthy of challenging the gods themselves!"

The lights snapped on and Cerb flinched, bringing her arms up to shield her sensitive eyes as Delphi growled and raised her tail in warning. Suddenly the polished onyx everywhere was glittering and reflecting, and Cerb's pale grey eyes were watering. She sure hoped she wouldn't accidentally cry in front of Samson, because she certainly wasn't scared. A bit pissed off, maybe. Darn gym leaders with their urges to be extraordinarily dramatic.

Also, she was willing to bet the floor was rigged somewhere.

"Yes, I have the emblem." Her fingers went to her neck, where she had the little green hedgehog hanging in the place of the dream emblem. After a minute she let it go, her hand wandering up into the fuzzy yellow fur of her Pikachu as Cerb took a few more steps forward across the polished floor. It was hard for her to see from far away, after all. Glasses and everything.

Ain't the only one she's found, Delphi grumped quietly. Cerb shushed her as she stared at Samson, a frown slowly beginning to etch itself onto her face. Well, she had expected a test of some sort, and said test to probably be a legendary. It was what the darn gym was known for, after all. Jumping through flaming hoops for a little hedgehog. But she could do it. It would just suck a lot.

"My strength, hm." Cerb looked down at the Absol by her side. Delphi grinned and wagged her tail. "I'd say you're a large portion of my strength, eh Delphi?"

Yessssss. The Absol sprang and slid a little bit across the polished floor, her black claws scraping on the surface as her razor claw jangled from her collar. C'MON GIRLY MAN, I WILL FUCK YOUR SHIT UP GOOD.

Cerb quietly facepalmed. She didn't know if there were any fighting legendaries to be had, but Delphi was probably about to get one to the face. "Don't get killed, Delphi," she grumbled. Telling the Absol to fight like a rabid Garchomp was probably unnecessary.

Samson smiled. Good. She had the bravery to step forward and take the challenge, which meant that she likely had the courage to face the beast when the time came. Not that Shaymin itself was intimidating, like Samson was, but even so.

"Hahaha... I like your style, little Absol. But are you ready to fight a Legendary?" Samson taunted, plucking the first of many from his box. Throwing it high into the air, the heavy metallic form of a fiery beast known as Heatran appeared, body bursting with energy as it made its way onto the onyx marble floor.

Samson immediately retreated to the other side of the room, placing his box on the stand. Of course, his six had already been decided in his mind, the Poké Balls being plucked from the box and attached to his waist. The box was sealed and put away, and then left there. Cerb would be left to wonder what else was in that team.

"Your challenge is to fight me, trainer. Begin!"

As a note, this follows all standard Gym Challenge rules, going both ways. Hence why it's above your level and holding an item. I'd post the team but tbh I think that's too easy. I have, however, PMed the team to Frac including items for his reference so I don't cheat.

I'm not little, Delphi growled, curling her lip up to bare her fangs. I'm forty-three years and a full adult!

Cerb was quietly contemplating which legendary Samson was going to throw onto the floor to squish Delphi. Her mind was flicking through the ones she knew about when their opponent was released in a burst of fire. Cerb felt her heart fall out her ass as Delphi snarled and puffed up her fur.

Heatran. Okay, now he's just fucking with me. I am not cool with this. Nope.

Cerb had a history with various Heatrans, including getting murdered in a dream by one. She was really starting to dislike the flaming steel titan. "Just... go at it on your own, Delphi," she said finally. "Please try not to get mashed."

I'mma try and get it, the Absol growled, her outline blurring as she suddenly split into a few more Absol. Each swung their head in a dazzling display of stat-boosting blades.

The first round was a stalling round, it seemed. Unfortunately for Delphi, the big steely metallic beast had the slightest speed advantage over it. Apparently a walking battletank wasn't actually slow! This was an interesting turn of events, so this meant that the Heatran managed to get its attack off first.

And then it opened its mouth and screeched the most horrific, ear-raping noise you would ever hear, known as a Metal Sound. It sounded like metal being dragged across a chalkboard which was being slammed into with a sledgehammer that was reverberating off a metal wobbleboard and also like TV static all rolled into one. Samson didn't flinch. Cerb probably would because that shit hurt.

And then lots of Delphi.

And then the Heatran just stared.

And Delphi danced.

Whatever Cerb wanted to do next, it would need to be quick to fight off this Heatran - priorities needed to be used to hold it off, because this thing was primed for an ass-kicking.

Well fuck me sideways. I hate Heatrans so much.

Cerb tried really hard not to flinch from the screeching noise and only partially succeeded. She wobbled in place from the ringing in her ears, all other sounds reduced in comparison. She should have brought earplugs.

Sparky had his face shoved all the way down her collar, his ears bundled up and tucked out of sight. The Pikachu was ticklishly uncomfortable against the back of her neck, but Cerb didn't want to be mean and boot him back out. Sparky had ears even more sensitive than hers.

Delphi snarled. She was, in all probability, about to get mashed; her senses tingled with the promise of pain. But she couldn't back down. Her muscles bunching, the Absol shot off across the floor with all her copies fanned out around her. She just wanted to get inside that thing's space, wrap her jaws around what she could reach on the Heatran's neck...

And shake forever until it was broken. Yep.

The attempt was valiant, the charge brave and bold. Delphi the Fearless-- no, that's not right. Delphi of No Common Sense charged down the Heatran with nothing but victory on his mind, ready to slaughter the giant metallic battle-beast and end its reign of steely terror...

...but, instead, a long plume of lava rose up from the ground, right in Delphi's path as he was charging, and the poor Absol of white ran straight through it in a typical act of Delphi-y defiance. Unfortunately, this left poor Delphi unconscious on the ground, not even squirming and at least not any more permanently damaged from what he'd just suffered. Fire was baaaaad.

Zero-one.

"Next!" Samson called, as if he'd expected that result. Perhaps he'd chosen it intentionally just to throw her off-balance, to see how she handled loss and defeat. And to see how well she could play a tactical game against a beast of power. If she recovered from this? Excellent. This would be a glorious battle.

Delphi is a female, dude. Sheeeee.

Cerb bit back a sigh as she reached for a Pokeball and recalled Delphi. The Absol looked okay, probably a little burned and would smell like toast later, which meant a bath. That was a rodeo Cerb didn't want, but there were more important things to deal with right now. Like this Heatran.

Cocksucker.

She considered her Pokemon thoughtfully. There was really only one she could think of that wouldn't get flattened right off the bat, so... might as well try it. "Rage!" The ultra ball spilled open to reveal coil upon coil of glittering red scales sprawling across the onyx floor. The Gyarados roared, a sound that reverberated against the vaulted ceiling. Cerb felt one of her eardrums pop. "Rage, get it!"

Power rippled up and down the red scales before Rage reared back and slammed his tail into the floor, hard. Cerb wobbled around before promptly falling on her butt, still disoriented from the metal sound. Sparky being a lead weight on the back of her neck wasn't helping any.

I keep doing it and I don't know whyyyyy maybe because Delphi acts like a dude. idk :( i sowwy

The Heatran started glaring at the Gyarados as it arrived, despite the intimidating presence that the Gyarados threw out. Somehow a red scarf, girly as it was, made things scarier. Maybe it was the fact it was a red Gyarados wearing a red scarf or something like that. That Heatran's stare was enough to put the dance off slightly - Rage was feeling pumped but that thing was terrifying enough that it threw her off.

It was enough time for the Heatran to conjure a gigantic boulder and toss it at the Gyarados in hopes that it would dent the thick scales of the beast, but to no avail. Rage's... well, rage, was about to unfold, in the earth-shattering power move that tended to end many battles. Samson should've expected something like this.

The ground shook, the entire Gym feeling the effect-- yet somehow the black onyx marble floor did not seem to even dent-- and within moments the Heatran succumbed to its wounds, collapsing down to the floor as the quake died away. The Gyarados had beaten the first opponent.

One-one.

"Good. Very good."

The next was conjured - a gigantic black ramjet-dragon who seemed to crackle with the very essence of thunder. "Are you prepared for this next foe, young Trainer? Do your worst."

Conversely, Rage actually is a dude. Ah well.

"Good boy, Rage!" Cerb cheered the massive snake. Rage snarled and shook his head, shaking some bits of rock off his shiny scales. At least the Gyarados had managed to down the legend that had always been a thorn in her side, and she was proud of him for it. Rage didn't often get a chance to throw his weight around and stretch his muscles.

Their next opponent was something that made Cerb stare and blink at it for several minutes, unsure what she was looking at. Rage growly softly while his trainer tried to figure out how to go about this. The dragon thing - it was clearly a dragon - felt crackly like lightning, with the kind of energy that made her hair prickle. "Electric type too. Figures," Cerb mumbled grumpily. Zapdos had some competition. "Same deal Rage. Just give it your best shot."

The Gyarados responded by hauling back and slamming his tail into the floor repeatedly. Cerb squeaked and managed to wobble her way over to cling to a pillar, sure her giant shiny snake was probably about to get shocked and trying to think who she could send out next to deal with the black bastard.

;_; Don't hate.

Unfortunately for Rage, he never stood a chance. Being slowed, a lingering effect from the Heatran, would be his downfall; the Zekrom was a powerful beast and its speed over the Gyarados meant that the choice band around it would give the black beast a powerful edge.

One, as its charged bolt of fused energy crackled into life, that downed Rage so hard that the Gyarados was sent flying across the room, even with its size and bulk, into the wall at the back, sliding down, twitching and unable to move. The Zekrom roared its victory over the Gyarados and challenged Cerb to bring on the next opponent.

One-two.

Cerb ducked and covered when her poor Gyarados was struck across the room with a powerful column of lightning. "Sweet crap, what am I supposed to do against that?" She mumbled as she reached for Rage's ball and withdrew him to safety. Her Pokemon were going to hate her after this. That strange black dragon was still there, crackling with power. The choice band around it meant no matter what, there were going to be more disgusting strikes like that in the future. Cerb did not fancy her chances against this beast.

"Wendigo." She took a chance. The Glalie wasn't very fast, but he was bulky and he liked to bury shit in snow. Red light formed the shape of the horned ball of ice, frost instantly carpeting the stone underneath Wendigo as he hovered in place and sized up his foe. "'m not gonna lie Wendy, this is prolly gonna hurt a lot. Just bury the place."

The Glalie opened his mouth in an icy shriek as snowflakes suddenly flew from the holes in his armor and swarmed through the air. Cerb ducked back into hiding behind her pillar, hands over her head and nose between her knees as the temperature dropped rapidly. She would never forgive Wendigo if the Glalie missed after all this.

The problem here wasn't necessarily the power-- well, okay, that was a problem-- but also the fact that Zekrom was reasonably quick to the draw. The same went in this situation, in fact, because it was the same thing for Wendigo that it had been for Rage. The stupid thing went first.

And, as you've probably worked out by now, a Zekrom using Fusion Bolt powered by what was a free +1 to Attack stat was not pleasant for anyone.

Wendigo collapsed to the ground, nowhere near traumatically as Rage had, but the result was still obvious. Not even a single piece of ice had really started to pick up on the battlefield.

One-three.

This time, Samson said nothing, instead hoping Cerb would pick well. He wanted her to succeed in this, but he had to properly test her to do it.

Now Cerb was getting a little irritated. She had come expecting to face at least one legend, but maybe not a whole team. And heaven help the ranch once Steely gets her hands on a Zekrom because Cerb is going to flip her shit so hard the whole house'll end up upside-down. Maybe the barn too.

Poor Wendigo. She withdrew the giant ball of ice and considered. Alfred and Sparky would just get manhandled. That left Pixie as maybe her best choice, and... the Ninetales would be so freakin' angry with her later that Cerb would probably end up eternally cursed with misfortune. Of course, that wouldn't really be a change from her current affairs anyway, so.

"Pixie." The Ninetales was released. She appeared in a burst of light and a swoosh of beautiful fanned tails, glancing around the black room before her eyes lit upon the crackling black dragon.

SWEET ARCEUS WHAT IN THE NINTH CIRCLE OF HELL IS THAT?

"That's a very good question, actually," Cerb mumbled as she pulled her pokedex out of her back pocket. It chirped cheerfully at her. "... something called a Zekrom. I smell Jgsei nonsense here."

Pixie threw her head forward and screeched a noise that sounded like it could shatter a room full of glasses. Cerb yelped and clapped her hands over her ears, almost dropping her pokedex. The Ninetales was definitely mad and ready to burn the hell out of the next thing to appear, flaming willowisps adorning the ends of her fanned tails.

Samson was impressed by the choice, actually. When faced with a difficult opponent, change the rules of the game as much as possible. That was exactly what Cerb did. However, it was out of Samson's hands as to how it went down; the Ninetales was in fact faster than the Zekrom, who was sent packing. One of the other balls magically opened itself...

...to reveal a Lugia.

Unfortunately, this posed one simple problem: Lugia was a very fast beast. Enough so that when Pixie tried to unleash the will-o-wisp, there was already a Hydro Pump sailing through the air. The blast of water impacted with the fox, throwing her down... but she shook it off, barely. Weak and hardly able to move, Pixie was still in the fight! Enough to throw that burn onto the gigantic legendary bird and make it suffer.

It was a lucky move. Samson was impressed. Could she turn it around and take the next Pokémon?

and yes Frac RNGed the number and we compared it to the team list so no I am not trying to intentionally screw you over. :<

Cerb let her jaw sag a little bit. So this was Lugia, before them in the flesh. Once upon a midnight dreary, she'd entertained dreams of going after the gigantic seabeast. Now after seeing this, she really wanted one.

But first, Pixie was soaking and furious and she was probably going to be out of the fight in about a second. "Sorry Pixie. Um, try and get in one last hit?" Cerb offered helplessly. The Ninetales spat and wicked water off her tails with one rapid swish against the floor.

Your egg is about to hatch, you know.

Foom. And off went a foxy comet to try and tickle the Lugia's belly. Cerb blinked a bit and looked down at her egg pouches, where one of them was beginning to rock slightly. "Aaaaaahshit, it's the Sneasel. Damn. Sparky, take this," she scooped up the wrapped egg and handed it to the Pikachu on her shoulder. "Go hide it behind a pillar. I gotta tend to Rage."

Since, hey, challengers can use items right? I think. Cerb dug out a max revive from her pack and pulled out Rage's ball, releasing the Gyarados' still form onto the floor behind her. She lobbed the crystal in his mouth and ran away as the Gyarados twitched and revived, slowly slithering and shuffling around until he could rear upright and glower. Cerb was hoping he'd make an adequate Lugia counter when Pixie was inevitably downed out there.

Cerb's tenacity in the face of impossible odds was, at the very least, commendable. She was doing every last thing possible to damage the Lugia, even going so far as to hit it with a status that would beat it over time. She was doing relatively well, for a trainer inexperienced in the advanced Gym circuit.

A Quick Attack, followed by a Hydro Pump. The result was predictable.

One-four.

Samson eagerly awaited Cerb's next choice. What would her next strategy be?

Sneasel Egg: 20/20 HATCH HAPPY FOR MAH BABY SNEASEL PLS
Dark Egg: 10/13

--

And there went Pixie. Cerb winced a little, withdrawing the downed fox. Pixie had done something incredibly important for them, though - she had given them all a chance. Cerb vowed to stuff watmels down her throat later to thank the fox and appease her sizeable anger.

Behind her, the red Gyarados growled. "Get in there, Rage," Cerb grumbled, temporarily distracted when she heard another CRACK and Sparky squeaking in alarm. "Stun it and dance away. This isn't over yet."

Rage surged past in a shimmer of scales and a crackle of electricity. His roar once more shook the gym, his glare fierce and commanding. The Gyarados shot an electric charge from his whiskers, before letting draconic energy ripple up and down his coils. It was time to prepare, if he hoped to weather this storm.

In the background, Cerb ran for Sparky and his wrapped egg. Peeling back the blankets, she saw the cracks spiraling across the dark gray surface. The largest one at the top had the tip of a white claw sticking out of it, the appendage in question wiggling back and forth. "Hang on darlin', we'll have you right out," Cerb cooed, carefully knocking on bits of the shell to widen the cracks and peeling away falling chunks. The baby Sneasel inside seemed to take heart and struck back, shattering the side of the shell and falling out into the blanket nest with a surprised squeak.

"Good job! Welcome to the world." Cerb studied the feather ear for a moment. Hooray for sexual dimorphism. "I think we've got a girl. Tetra's going to like this." The Sneasel sneezed and wiped her goopy nose with a claw. Cerb assisted by rubbing the rest of her down with the blankets and fluffing up the short, downy fur. "Don't mind the titans fighting back there. You've hatched at an... interesting time."

Sparky grumbled an agreement, sneaking a glance around Cerb to see how Rage was doing with the Lugia.

3 :lp this is going to suck my apologies

The little critter had 3 :happiness for hatching, btw.

The Lugia went first, deciding that discretion was the better part of valour and recovering its health, refreshing itself after the long battle. This was getting irksome and tiring for the beast but it would, no matter what, press on and survive.

Rage followed with a Thunder Wave. Despite the pressure, it was working. Things were kind of sort of starting to look up; the Lugia was slowed right down, which gave Rage something of an advantage, especially when Dragon Dance took effect a few moments later. This would prove to be a critical boost, especially now that the Lugia was moving slow as snails.

Yet, despite that, it unleashed a powerful Aeroblast. Rage was struck and hit hard.

It all came down to the next hit, very likely...

Bastardly legendaries, all of them. At least my power is working finally.

Cerb cradled the baby Sneasel in her arms as the little dark lion turned her face towards the titantic battle. Rage snarled when he was struck with a blast of air, his coils twisting to right himself so he could face the Lugia again. Cerb clicked her tongue against her teeth meditatively. "Chomp chomp, Rage."

The Gyarados sucked in air, freezing moisture about his teeth until his fangs were twice the size and rimmed with daggers of ice. Scales rasping against the polished floor, the sea snake lunged for the Lugia with the intent of wrapping his coils around the legend to cease its squirming, then chomping his icy fangs onto its face to take it out. Y'know, like a giant anaconda killing a crocodile.

Cerb wasn't exactly sure her new baby should be watching this, but the Sneasel seemed fascinated. "Well, I guess you are a predator," she mumbled, tickling the feather ear and listening to the cat squeak. "Won't hurt to watch other predators in action. And you need a name," the teen mused to herself, leaning back against a pillar. Down on the floor, Sparky wrapped himself with what remained dry from the egg blankets and huddled next to his trainer's legs with his ears back. He really wanted to leave.

3 :lp yay for power!

The Gyarados constricted the Lugia quickly, its red scales glimmering as icy fangs bit into flesh. A howl of pain leapt up from the battered and bruised majestic bird, letting the world know of its plight. It was a screaming pain, a howling pain, one that weakened it further still after the insane onslaught it had suffered thus far.

This, however, did not stop it from unleashing another Aeroblast at close distance. Weakened as it was, it was going to fight back with all the might in its legendary body, smacking Rage across the face... but even Rage had some of that legendary power too, it seemed. Utterly weak. Howling. And yet the Gyarados fought on, biting down with renewed vigour, until finally, the beast of the skies' body went limp and it could simply fight no more.

Two down.

"Excellent!" cried Samson. That was such a brilliant showing of power! But unfortunately, his pride as Gym Leader and as master of the legendary beasts dictated that he had to fight just as hard, too, reaching for the same Poké Ball he'd used before with a smile.

Out came that terrifying black visage once more.

The Gyarados uncoiled himself from the downed Lugia and raised up towards the ceiling to shriek down at the gym leader. Giant sea birds be damned, he was going to murder everything that got in his way as long as he could stand up there and do so.

Cerb just wanted to hug the monster, but that was kind of risky with her arms full of baby Sneasel and the fact that Rage was running on ANGER and adrenaline at the moment. She settled for cheering. "Good boy, Rage! I knew you could do it!"

And then came... the thing. It didn't have a name in Cerb's book anymore, just that it was evil and damned and she knew it would come back eventually... But she was hoping eventually would be a little later. Apparently not. "Nuts."

At least Rage didn't need any direction on what he had to do. The Gyarados might have been weak, but he was primed and mad and ready for round two. He made this clear by swiftly slamming his tail into the floor as hard and fast as he could. Cerb yelped and wobbled, sliding sideways against the slick surface of the pillar she was leaning against and ending up on her butt. A 'crack!' made her sit up and look around frantically while the Sneasel mewed.

"What? The other egg is hatching already? Oh balls. Sparky, c'mere and take the kit for a minute," the Pikachu grumpily tottered over and reached out for the Sneasel, enfolding her in his blankets and crackling while Cerb dug out the other one and felt the ruptures in its surface. "I hope my falling over didn't damage it prematurely. Damn."

Unsurprisingly, Rage went first. The ground shook and the Zekrom buckled under the pressure but did not fall. It was a mighty blow that took it down strong, but still wasn't enough.

It was kind of obvious a second later when the Zekrom charged its energy for its signature Fusion Bolt, that Rage was going to go down. Needless to say, Samson was still impressed. And it was still only technically, what, four-two, since Rage had already gone down? Either way, Samson was still wordless. This challenge was going well for Cerb. She'd done more than most trainers even dared to do in their lifetimes already. She deserved a medal.

But as for a hint? He'd see.

Cerb withdrew Rage with a tiny bit of a frown. The Gyarados had performed excellently, downing one legend and taking a giant chunk out of another. She wished he could have finished the dragon-thing, but that was too much to hope for with Rage's typing and current state of health. "Might as well get this over with," she mumbled, briefly entertaining the notion of using another revive and then discarding it. It was pretty clear Samson was going to be the winner in the long run, and she didn't want to waste all of her supplies prolonging the inevitable. "Alfred, get out there and kill it."

The Lucario formed, took one look at the Zekrom and whined. Sweet crap what IS that,

"Something that deserves biting. And punching. Lots of biting and punching," Cerb grumbled in a 'no-nonsense-plz-kill' sort of tone. Her hands were busy at the moment cradling the flaking dark egg, which suddenly had a puppy head shooting out the top of it and trying to lick everything ever. "Oh snap, it's a Houndour. That's interesting."

Seeing as his trainer was busy and not going to elaborate, Alfred guessed they were in sort of dire straights here and whined again. Cerb only became extremely tight-lipped when she did not like the way things were going. Something tells me this is going to hurt later, he grumbled, puffing out his chest and giving a brave growl before charging across the floor. To bite and punch and maim and all that!

Yep.

Out came the next challenger, a Lucario. The battle was on moments later as the first round of commands by Cerb were called.... and, as unsurprising as it would ever be in this battle, the last for Alfred. After all, this was just getting messy as all hell to be out here.

The first Fusion Bolt hurt, a lot. It was a painful blow to deal, but not as bad as it could have been were the Intimidate's effects not in effect. Rage's purpose had been served far greater than it could have ever imagined. Alfred responded with a Close Combat, getting right up in the Zekrom's face to deliver a powerful elbow across its face, the steely limb driving its jaw to the side and twisting its neck... but being so close and vulnerable opened it up and the Zekrom's second Fusion Bolt finished it off.

Two-five.

It was time for Cerb's final gambit. She had to throw her last competitor into the ring now. After this? It was all over... but would she take the Zekrom down with her?

Yeah no, probably not. Friggin' Zekrom.

Cerb surrepitously tried to shove black eggshell fragments behind a pillar as she withdrew her Lucario. Alfred had given it the best try he could, and she was glad for it. Her entire team had definitely earned the watmelling they were going to get after they got out of here. "You're the only one left," she told her Pikachu, who was still holding the baby Sneasel. "Try and knock him on his ass, hunh?"

Sparky snorted, flattening his ears down unhappily. The chances of that happening were slim, even with the light ball fastened around his neck. If only that damn Teravolt wasn't in play. Sighing, the Pikachu shook his head and offered up the Sneasel to Cerb before scampering onto the field.

"This is easily the most painful thing I've done," she teen muttered as she watched Sparky streak off in a yellow blur to smash into the dragon's midsection. The Sneasel in her arms squeaked. "And you still need a name. I think I'll call you Legretta."

Funnily enough the whole 'light ball on a Pikachu' was apparently a really good idea. So much so that, in fact, when Sparky hit the Zekrom head-on, thre was a thud on the ground of a gigantic black thing with an engine on it hitting the ground, butt-first. Huh. Well, guess Sparky did knock it on its ass after all.

And then the Zekrom decided that not moving and being very unconscious was a great idea.

Five-three. Not a bad effort, on Cerby's part. Samson was particularly pleased with how well this was going. So much so that he was going to see just how far that little powerhouse Pikachu could be pushed. Samson carefully chose his fourth, allowing the giant red form of none other than a stompy Groudon to appear on the scene. Well, this was going to be interesting indeed.

Cerb just sort of stared for a moment.

"Sparky just knocked a dragon on its ass,"

The Pikachu in question rubbed his noggin and looked curiously around when he realized that there was a lack of giant black dragon on the field. "Pipika?"

"THAT'S MY GOOD LITTLE RATTY BOY!"

Unfortunately, the Zekrom was only three of six, and Samson had more juice to unleash. Namely, a hulking Groudon graced the field with its presence. Cerb peed herself a tiny bit. She was familiar with Groudon and all they could do, and Sparky was pretty much history. Despite being similar levels, her Pikachu was still a Pikachu and he lacked a certain amount of legendary might.

"Ooo. I dunno what to tell you 'bout this, Sparky," Cerb mumbled moodily. "Just give it your best shot, hunh?"

The Pikachu snorted, staring up at the Groudon for a minute before squinting with sudden sunlight. Time to end this fight one way or the other.

As the vines gathered up from the ground, ready to make slapstick joke of the heavyweight ground type, Samson abruptly ended the battle. "I do think this has gone far enough! You're not here for a badge, you're here for information and you have more than proven yourself worthy. The fact this little spark factory took down Zekrom..."

He arched a pokeball in front of him and withdrew the Groudon. "You've earned my information, as limited as it is, I can at least point you in the right direction. From here, you need to..."

He had to think for a moment, it had been a long time since he had to share this information with a trainer. "Sparkly? I think that was it, one of the landmarks sparkles. Maybe it had glass. I know it's in the snowy parts, south of the mountains though." He turned around and was just going to leave Cerb and Sparky on the floor.

As he was about halfway in the door he yelled back. "CRYSTAL. The place had crystal in it. Now get the fuck out."
