Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Good job. Now, go on the offensive with Magical Leaf," I ordered Ralts. He obeyed, generating two Grass-type energy leaves and lunging at Daedra, using them as weapons to strike at Deadra multiple times.

"Use his proximity to your advantage! Body slam!" Keiko shouted, getting excited already. Daedra leapt up, dodging one of Ralts's swings, and lunged downward at him. Ralts, in a last minute effort, decided to use Deadra's inertia against her and stabbed upward at her, scoring a critical hit. He didn't avoid getting hit by her attack, however.

'Thanks for helping Ralts like that," I said to Keiko with a smile. "Don't think I'll take it easy on you in return, though."

"I'd be mad if you did," Keiko smirked, winking at me before focusing back on the fight. "Alright! Give Dragon Pulse a try, Deadra! Give it all you've got!"

Time to try a different energy type, Ralts. Try using Shadow Ball,' I responded, not giving up my calm facade despite how brightly my trainer's blood was burning.

It took a minute, but Ralts soon had a Shadow Ball roughly two-thirds his height in circumference. Deadra attacked first, her Dragon Pulse racing toward Ralts, though he managed to fire his Shadow Ball in time, the two moves deflecting each other. After a moment of grinding against each other, the two moves exploded, leaving neither Pokemon damaged.

I started issuing another command, but it wasn't until now that I noticed that Ralts and Deadra were starting to get worn down. They have been putting out some impressively strong moves, and took a good deal of damage - Ralts tanking Deandra's Body Slam while taking a critical Magical Leaf for her trouble.

"I think they've had it for now," I said just as Keiko was starting to speak. "They've been putting out a lot of energy today."

Keiko looked down at the two pokemon, and after a minute, nodded. "Yeah, this is as far as we need to go for a training session. Meet me in the lobby?"

"Sure," I smiled, recalling Ralts and walking out of the room with Rala beside me.

Sub would enter the Super Training Room shortly after Terashi, three different Pokemon with him; Bohdan floating beside him, Hop-Frog the Froakie hopping up behind him, and Hemlock planted in its pot as Sub carries it with him. "Yo, Terashi, Keiko. Fancy seeing you both here." He said with a smile. "Who am I kidding? I knew I would find one of you here, why do you think I got these guys with me?

Sub would look down at Brunor and nod to himself, motioning for his Koffing to come forward and for his Froakie to step back, the man still holding the pot containing Hemlock. "This should be a fair match up, both vulnerable to each other." He commented, alluding to Koffing's Poison type which Ralts was weak to as well as the opposite; the Psychic type being powerful against the Poison. This would be a quick bout.

"Let's delay no longer, Bohdan, use Toxic Spikes." He ordered, the Koffing laughing cheerfully as it squeezed its body into a compact shape before expanding back to its normal size, sending poisonous spikes all over the field. This wasn't for Brunor, but for its allies.

Sub pouted as the strange energy surrounded Bohdan, sealing up some of the Koffing's moves. This kind of ruined some of his fun but alas he had plenty of other tricks to pull out. "Oh poo, you're such a party pooper. There goes my next scheme." He said, folding his arms and huffing, exaggerating his pretend discontent. "Man, looks like we have to go with plan B instead, Bohdan." He said to the Koffing who was too busy rolling around in the air, laughing and smiling joyfully. "...sometimes I wonder if you're even fit for battles...oh well. Bohdan, time to step up and hit it with a Sludge attack! Gym hardened or not we're coming!"

The Koffing would obey the attack, still not really taking the battle seriously as it spun around lazily but with enough speed to fling from its large pores various goops of poisonous sludge all around it, most of it concentrated in the vicinity of its target; Brunor. Bohdan was trained enough for a proper Sludge Bomb but a good old fashioned Sludge should be enough to sting the Fairy type Pokemon, and some.

"Well geesh, you really aren't letting me have any fun at all, are you?" Sub asked Terashi, folding his arms once again for emphasis. With a scowl he looked around the room and took note of the flowing pink mist-like energy which was quickly consuming it. Disgusting. "Ugh...you just had to do this, didn't you? You did this one purpose." He insisted, shaking his head a little bit as if to clear his head. "No matter, we still got this. Bohdan, another Sludge while our friend keeps putting on shows for us." Sub ordered.

With another happy and naive laugh the Koffing would spin around, almost like it was dancing, once again flinging nasty globs of Sludge. This one was a little better than the last, the globs of Sludge thicker as Bohdan seemed to be getting a better hang of it.

Bohdan was not prepared for the dazzling and confusing flash of light that seemed to hit him out of nowhere. The happy go lucky Pokemon was now spinning and swaying all over the place erratically as the Confuse Ray befuddled its sight and other senses, its mental awareness scrambled. The poor Koffing didn't know what was going on as this was a first for it.

"Tch, so now you get to be the one that does all the tricky underhanded things, huh?" He commented to Terashi. "Don't worry about it, Bohdan, you'll get through this. Fight through it and see if you can't show me a Sludge Bomb. It's time to step our game up a little bit." He ordered his Pokemon.

The Koffing would try his best to right himself and point himself in the right direction, fighting through the confusion the best he could as he inflated his body briefly, concentrating as much sludge as he could in his body. With one last inhalation he would attempt to spit the glob of concentrated sludge out from its mouth with as much force as it could muster, its target Brunor. If the confusion kicked in however it would not get the sludge out in time, causing it to explode inside him and hurt its self in confusion.
