Pokemon Leauge

-Team Umbra is watching as usual-

Human!Ammy: ...Remind me to have a    talk    with that Zoroark about stealing catchphrases.

Umbra: ...

._.;

Robin: -frowns- Delta prophecy? Never read about that legend before...

...It's probably just some obscure, minor thing.

Pheobe's Chamber

-Uses Aura Sense upon entering, which reveals the presence of several spirits... and another chair-

Hmm...

-To Phoebe-

Another chair?

Phoebe: Yup, I've been waiting for you Tagg! I'm bringing a little something new to the table this time if you catch my drift! Prepare yourself and bring it on! Show me how much better you've gotten in more than a decade!

-A Poké Ball suddenly appears in my hand-

Gladly!

Made a li'l edit to my last post to respond to the Absol, if y'all wanna check.

Pheobe's Chamber

Pheobe: -Go Banette-

Banette: -Appears-

Go Tropius!

Tropius: -Also appears-

Pheobe: Banette, let's start with a Shadow Ball!

Banette: -Fires a ball of Obscura at Tropius-

Tropius: -Is hit and loses a quarter of his health- <Ack!>

Air Slash!

Tropius: -Sends out blades of wind at Banette-

Banette: -Loses about the same amount of health- <Ack!>

Phoebe: Shadow Ball again!

Banette: -Fires another one- <How repetitious.>

Tropius: -Manages to dodge this time- <I'll say.>

-And fires off a crit strength Air Slash-

Banette: @_@

Tropius: <That was over a little too quickly for my liking.>

Remember, don't get cocky.

League Lobby

Ruby Rose: <Well, that's concerning.>

Pheobe's Chamber

Phoebe: Tagg, this is hardly over yet, go Mismagius!

Mismagius: <Ooh, this'll be fun~>

Phoebe: Use Power Gem!

Mismagius: -As a bright ray fires from her gem at Tropius- <Ready for this, sugar~>

Tropius: -Is brought down to the red- <Ack!>

-And fires a token Air Slash, bringing Mismagius down to 3/4ths of her health before being fainted-

Good job Tropius.

-Recalls him and sends out Forecaster-

Forecaster: <Let's do this!>

Mismagius: <Hopefully you'll be more fun than the last guy~>

Forecaster: -Annoyed- <Less talking, more battling!>

-And fires a Shadow Ball-

Mismagius: -Is brought down to less than half health- <Well...    if you insist~   >

-And hits Forecaster with a crit strength Shadow Ball-

Forecaster: -Is brought down to about the same- <Ack!>

-And fires another-

Mismagius: <Oof... you win this time...>

Ever Grande City

Dune: ... Aw man, now I really want to do a gym challenge again.

Sandnix: <Uplanders take roughtumble bigbig serious, huh?>

Code Talker: <I should say so.>

Rill: <You should have seen the Kalos gym challenge, those Elite Four had crazy arenas.>

Pheobe's Chamber

Phoebe: Go Drifblim!

Drifblim? That's new...

Drifblim: -Appears- <Let us see who is better, a cloud, or a balloon.>

Forecaster: <Gladly.>

-And summons a rainstorm-

Drifblim: -Fires off a Shadow Ball-

Forecaster: -Dodges- <You know, they always say to stay inside during a thunderstorm, because you don't want to get struck by lightning!>

-And drops a Thunder on Drifblim-

Drifblim: -It crits- <You may have won this battle...but doomed yourself in the next. I bid you adieu.>

Forecaster: <...Oh no, you're not an Aftermath Drifblim are yo-

Drifblim: -Explodes-

Ever Grande City

Lyuri is literally eating popcorn as she watches Tagg's challenge, and Hikari is joining in.

Pheobe's Chamber

Forecaster: -Is brought to the red- <Okay, I really should've seen that one coming.>

Chandelure: -Is sent out next- <Are you ready Castform, your soul will taste... delicious.>

Forecaster: -Unimpressed- <...Was that supposed to be scary, because a hatchling could make a better threat!>

Forecaster, we're gonna need to buy at least some time here!

Chandelure: -Fires an Energy Ball-

Forecaster: -Barely dodges it- <Tagg, I probably can't take much more, but I can soften her up for the others!>

Hydro Pump!

Forecaster: -Fires a pressurized blast of water at Chandelure just as she's fainted by another Energy Ball-

Chandelure: -Is brought down to under half health- <No way, I can't believe this!>

Muddy: -Is then sent out- <I think you'd better start.>

League Lobby

Jason:Ouch, Aftermath...Aftermath hurts.

>.<

Phoebe's Chamber

Phoebe: Muddy again, huh? Energy Ball!

Chandelure: -Ominously- <I shall sing you to your sleep, Swampert.>

-And fires another ball of florokinetic energy at him-

Muddy: -Is hit, but smirks as he starts glowing with a blue aura- <Yeah, kinda figured you'd do that.>

-And summons a massive wave-

Chandelure: <Obviously we miscalculated...> @_@

Phoebe: Ooh, it's not looking good, but I'm not giving up yet! Go Dusknoir!

Dusknoir: -Appears- <It has been a long time, Muddy.>

Dusknoir: -Throwing a Shadow Punch- <And I've gotten far stronger!>

Muddy: -Is brought down to the red- <Ack!>

Muddy, Foresight!

Muddy: -Eyes glow blue with Aura-

Phoebe: Should've seen that coming, but it won't save you. Dusknoir, another!

Dusknoir: -Rushes towards Muddy-

Protect into Hammer Arm!

Muddy: -Summons a barrier to stop the Obscura infused punch, before smashing Dusknoir with a fist-

Dusknoir: -Is brought down to half health- <Argh! This is for that cheap trick!>

-And faints Muddy with her next Shadow Punch-

Sheesh, she's pissed.

League Lobby

-Watching intensifies-

Secluded Area, Past

Salvador: Would the answer be a) Stop Focusing or b) Focus on returning time back to it's original current?

League Lobby

Red: Huh. That Dusknoir's going hard.

<Mac: Aye, 'tis.>

Somewhere

<Kaminari: Hey! Hey Beri!>

What. What do you want now?

<Kaminari: I've been workin' on an idea.>

I don't like the sound of this.

<Kaminari: Nah, nah, it's cool, see... -whispers->

Huh. But his accent'll be a pain in the ass.

<Kaminari: Nah, nah, see, forget the accent!>

But that'll be inconsistent!

<Kaminari: So? So what? It's a game, dude. Play it the way you wanna play.>

...

You make a fair point.

<Kaminari: So are we good?>

Yeah. Yeah, I'll put him in.

<Kaminari: Yessssss~>

League Lobby

<???: I'll say. Quite a fight.>

Secluded Area, past

Well, controlling its power is a conscious endeavor so it would be "A".

Phoebe's Chamber

Go Draca!

Draca: -Appears and bears her fangs- <Finally, I get to fight.>

Dusknoir: -Hitting Draca with an Ice Punch- <Be careful what you wish for!>

Draca: -Is brought down to half health- <Urk!>

-And chomps down with Obscura wreathed fangs-

Dusknoir: @_@

Phoebe: Sableye, it's all up to you!

Sableye: -Appears as Phoebe reveals a Key Stone-

Mega!Sableye: -Erupts from its Mega Evolution cocoon-

'Pheobe: Fake Out!

Mega!Sableye: -Smacks Draca with an open palm-

Draca: <Wut?>

Draca, Hone Claws into Dragon Claw!

Draca: -Sharpens her claws before slashing at Sableye with claws wreathed in emerald flames- <Eat this, gogil!^* goblin>

Sableye: -Loses a quarter of her health- <Neener neener neener!>

Draca: -Growls-

Pheobe: Now, Foul Play!

Ah crap.

Sableye: -Grabs Draca and flips her over-

Draca: -Faints-

Secluded Area, Past

Salvador blinks. The wind resumes once again.

Salvador: So... Today I learned how to control the Time Stop abilities.

Salvador takes out a mirror from his pocket and takes a look at himself.

Salvador: ...And I should probably take a shower. I've sweat to the point where my makeup is starting to run, and I don't particularly like looking like I just had a bout of hysterics.

Secluded Area, past

Discretely though, I'd rather not deal with the more...imaginative members of the fanbase.

Pheobe's Chamber, today

Steel, you're up next!

Steel: -Appears-

-Reveals the Mega Wristband-

And now we're done playing around!

Steel: -Roars as he comes out of his cocoon-

Rock Polish!

Mega!Steel: -Glows as his body turns shinier-

Phoebe: Foul Play, again!

Sableye: -Flips Steel-

Steel: -Loses about a bit more than a quarter of his health- <Urk!>

Steel, Heavy Slam!

Steel: -Jumps up and does a bodyslam on Sableye-

Sableye: -Is brought down to half health- <Ack!>

Phoebe: Foul Play again!

Sableye: -Flips Steel-

Steel: -Is critted and sent down to under half health-

Big mistake, Metal Burst!

Steel: -Releases a white burst of energy while Sableye's at close range-

Sableye: <Oh cr-Is sent flying into the back wall, followed by her gem, fainting her-

EGC

-things exist, I guess, even though nothing useful is happening because I am a literal trashcan-

Secluded Place, past

Salvador: Of all that is good an holy, don't remind me of them.

Salvador puts the mirror away.

Salvador: Shaka!?

Suddenly, a cyborg Gallade -blips- into the area.

Future!Shaka: Yessum?

Salvador: Can you teleport me back to the Stormchaser? I need to gussy up and I don't exactly want to get back in the sight of prying eyes...

Future!Shaka: Sure kiddo. Then afterwards, I can show you that cavern with the flowers.

Salvador: Sounds like a plan.

Secluded Place, past

-To Shaka-

Wait, what cavern?

Pheobe's Chamber, today

Phoebe: -As she recalls Sableye- Good job guys.

-To me-

Drat, I lost again, but you certainly haven't gotten any weaker over the years Tagg.

Yeah, but you certainly haven't gotten weaker yourself Pheobe.

Phoebe: But that bond with your mons feels more powerful than ever.

-As the door opens-

Don't keep everyone else waiting!

-Nods and departs-

Shaka turns around with a grin.

Future!Shaka: You'll see it when you make yer way through the Victory Road. Can't miss it.

And the two -blip- away.

On the way to Glacia

-Following healing-

Brr... should've brought my winter clothes.

-Suddenly the bridge ices over-

Wow, they've really got a lot of money to throw away on this stuff.

-And starts walking forward-

No wait, I've got a better idea.

-Starts running and slides into Glacia's chamber-

League Lobby

Red: Damn he's good. Then again, that is the de-facto leader of the J-team.

<Mac: Aye, he's impressive alright.>

Hoenn League Lobby, Approved Smoking Area

A certain leather-jacketed Simisage sits, smoking a cigarette and watching the screen.

<???: My my. Never did really run into him during my last stint with the J-team.>

Glacia's Chamber

Interesting, no chairs this time.

Glacia: -Turns to greet me as I slide in- Tagg, it's been a while, but I have to say your entrance was better than that Champion's daughter.

-Picking up on past Auras-

Hey, Sarah's a great trainer!

Glacia: Yes, but a clumsy one.

I think I remember that I tripped and landed on my face the first time I entered here 11 years ago.

Glacia: But enough talk Richard.

-Raising her arms up as the snowstorm outside appears to get even fiercer-

I've been waiting for a trainer with a burning-hot soul. Can you oppose Mega Evolution that can freeze everything? Don't disappoint me!

-Whips out a Poké Ball-

Wasn't planning on it.
