Darksol88 Already a little on the ugly side, Aden thought. "Yeah... I wouldn't expect anything less. Come on, Poliwhirl!" He said, tossing the ball to release the Pokemon in question. "Whiiiirl." Not much of a cry, but hey, he was still ready. "This will be a battle between the Gym Leader's Clefable against the Challenger's Poliwhirl. Let the battle begin!" He shouted. "Get to it, Clefable! Start off with your Cosmic Power!" Whitney shouted. From the get go, the Clefable focused and then started to get a weird sheen to its body. It looked a bit like a shield of some kind...

"Okay, try this, then... Poliwhirl, Hypnosis!" Aden made sure to avoid looking at Poliwhirl for a bit after his call, knowing what would come next.
Poliwhirl remained where he was, his body giving off an odd energy. The swirl on his stomach seemed to spin, trying to employ its tactic upon the Clefable.

Poliwhirl remained where he was, his body giving off an odd energy. The swirl on his stomach seemed to spin, trying to employ its tactic upon the Clefable. The Clefable looked at the Poliwhirl and started to get drowsy on its feet. Going off kilter. Rarely did anyone figure. Clefable was to test the proverbial waters... As she fell over asleep. Whitney smirked. "Clefable, can you hear me? Use Sleep Talk!" The Clefable righted itself right back up, in a sleep walking stupor, true to form though fast asleep. "Faaabllllee..." It spoke. Even though Whitney knew it had no control over Clefable's actions while its out sleep talking, it was better than being a sitting duck. As it chanted, something occurred to it. Started to dream on something. Must have been exciting. "Faaablee...." Clefable starting to clap, cheer for whatever it was going on it was in its head. Much to Aden's dismay, this translated doom to his Poliwhirl. Clefable used Encore. "Oh crap..." I said, looking over towards Aden.

"Now less- sleep what?" Aden didn't like the sound of that. Then the clapping. He didn't even realize what it all meant until Poliwhirl suddenly started for another Hypnosis, seemingly compelled to just keep at it. "Wait, that's not what I... ah jeez... Poliwhirl, come back for now!"
He was hoping to avoid a switch so quickly, but he had no choice. "Nidoran, you're probably my best bet here, so before it wakes up. Fury Attack!" He hoped Nidoran would be willing to cooperate here, considering. He was glad when, after he swapped the two Pokemon, his Nidoran did at least go to attack Clefable in a frenzy. He didn't want to get locked up in another stall like that.

He hoped Nidoran would be willing to cooperate here, considering. He was glad when, after he swapped the two Pokemon, his Nidoran did at least go to attack Clefable in a frenzy. He didn't want to get locked up in another stall like that. The scoreboard on the wall changed the screen for active Pokemon on Aden's side as he switched from the Poliwhirl to his Nidoran. It was about all he could do at this point, sadly. Otherwise, Poliwhirl would have been fruitlessly using Hypnosis on a sleeping Clefable. As the fury attack collided, the aura from the Cosmic Power, Aden would notice, would not go unwavered. It cushioned every strike from his Nidoran's Fury Attack. Sure it knocked the Clefable back over again, but it was still asleep, which still left the same option to go with for Whitney. "Oh dear, still out. Sleep talk again!" She shouted. The Clefable, in its zombie like trance, made its way back up, still uneasy on its feet in its slumber. "Faaaaaaabllllleeee..." The Pokemon spoke. It started to wave its arms about just then, making me wonder what on earth was that. It wasn't a metronome that I knew of, which could have been bad for everyone here... It didn't occur to me what it was until a loud sound rang through the building. A gong, similar to that of a large church bell. "Crap..." The bell snapped the Clefable wide awake. "Heal Bell." "Ah good! I was hoping that would come around sooner or later!" Whitney said.

"What!?" Okay... Whitney was rougher than he first thought. First his cripple tactic gets thrown out the window, then the assault strategy was iffy... but he could forgive that after figuring out what Cosmic Power had to have done. But this? Oh what the hell.
"I mean, sure it'd wake up sometime anyway, but... agh, no matter." Either way, crippling was just not going to happen here, much as he hated it. If not for the inability to shut up while asleep, then surely because it'd just ring its ailments away. And he was leary about even risking Flatter, just in case this thing pulled a fast one. "Guess we don't have a choice."
Nidoran only huffed.
"You can start on about the other stuff later! Less sulking, more kicking this thing!" He called. Nidoran looked to Aden for a second, before rushing and trying to attack again. The aura would still be there, they knew that much.
Didn't stop a small, purple Pokemon from launching a Double Kick, trying to make some leeway against Clefable.

The aura, once again, cushioned the attacks blow, dealing little damage to the Clefable. "He likes to play rough!" Whitney said. "How about make him mind his manners! Sweet Kiss!" she shouted. The Clefable went to snatch up the Nidoran and give the purple poison type a nice, big smooch.

Aden could only stand in mild horror. Now she was using his own tactics against him. Not to mention the poor Nidoran that tried to escape Clefable's grasp. Only to get picked up and kissed. If there was ever a simultaneous face that implied "what the hell" and "I need a new mouth now", one might want to remember this day.
Nidoran, though, sure didn't want to, and started spitting. Trying to get the taste of giant pink fairy-thing out of his mouth; it was enough dealing with one on a daily basis. "I... wha...? Yeesh. Nidoran, you can go back for now." At this point, Aden felt he was going to have to employ a tactic he wouldn't be fond of. Rapid fire switching.
He went to get Poliwhirl back out, recalling Nidoran for his sake. "Never thought I'd be doing this... Poliwhirl, leave that... just leave it on ice! Ice Beam!" He didn't care if it wouldn't do much, he had to try something. And darn it, if this Clefable could do something while being frozen, then more power to it.

And darn it, if this Clefable could do something while being frozen, then more power to it. With the switch back to Poliwhirl meant the switch to the indicator on the scoreboard. Aden is finding that Whitney is no joke all too quickly. It leaves me to wonder just how he is going to feel whenever she brings out that Miltank...providing however he even gets that far at the pace he is going. When the Poliwhirl came out, the Ice beam flew across the field, pelting the Clefable, but once again the aura cushioned the blow. Clefable would find a portion of itself frozen, only to easily shake off the ice that attempted to encase it. "Alright, our turn!" Whitney shouted. "Apparently Aden isn't going to give us any opportunity to play with him, so let's speed this along! Clefable! Thunderbolt!" "FAAABLE!!!" A crackle of electricity came from its body and out came a powerful electrical strike coming straight to the Poliwhirl.

"There's play, and then there's... I don't even know what this is." Aden said, only to watch Poliwhirl get zapped from the oncoming attack. He kinda saw that one coming, but at the same time... okay, who was this person? This wasn't Whitney. This had to be some sort of spawn that only could be wrought from the deepest depths anyone can think of. "Poliwhirl, are you alright?"
Though Poliwhirl was on the ground, he was able to get up. A bit shocked from the impact, but he'd manage for the moment. A nod was enough of an answer, really.
"Good... there has to be some way... Poliwhirl, get up close to it. Let's see how it likes someone else making advances that should never happen. Body Slam!" While Poliwhirl went in, bouncing into the air to attempt his strike, Aden's thoughts could easily be summed up in two words. And those two words won't be leaving his mind for a while.

"Meet him head on, Clefable! Show him your Strength!" Whitney called out to her Clefable. "FAAABLE!" The Pokemon responded, rushing for the incoming Poliwhirl, putting everything it had in the next blow.

Aden found himself cringing at the ensuing impact, as Poliwhirl and Clefable crashed into their respective attacks. Nevermind his Poliwhirl being flung back as a result and struggling to get up. While he managed to, it was safe to say he wouldn't be able to go for much longer.
"Ugh... Poliwhirl, now or never. Bubblebeam!" He called. A forceful spray of bubbles would ensue, all aimed for Clefable.

While the damage was being done, it probably wasn't to Aden's expectations. Clefable was still pretty raring to go. "Clefable! Thunderbolt!" She shouted. The Clefable then unleashed its electrical storm once again. She was going to try to shut this Poliwhirl down.

"Now!" Aden was quick about recalling Poliwhirl, knowing he'd be locked in now. But it was his best shot now. "Flaaffy, you're up!" He called, letting Flaaffy out to take the Thunderbolt. It'd hurt her some, but she was more used to it.
It also taught both of them a unique thing about that skin. It really was like rubber; Flaaffy being on the ground and all, she almost wanted to ask if that was a harsh wind disguised as a lightning bolt. "That should be somewhat useful... okay, Flaaffy, just bear with me. Thundershock!"
Suddenly, Clefable would be subject to its own medicine.

The jolt wasn't as harsh to Clefable as Aden may have hoped. Once again Cosmic power played the role in that cushion. What probably didn't help was that naturally, Clefable could take such a hit fairly easily as is. Despite which, the small pot shots, as they were, were starting to now add up. Clefable started to look a bit winded now as the battle continues to drag on. As I sat there on the sidelines, watching Aden, I think he is finally realizing what the hell Whitney is all about. Normal type Pokemon are severely wild cards in the whole Pokemon spectrum. They tend to be the most adaptive to anything compared to those with some sort of elemental being, like Electric or Fire types, and for that matter, they have a fair chance of coping with some problems that come upon them, such as using Heal Bell like the Clefable did earlier. I started to worry for Aden at this point. He already set himself to his three Pokemon, and Whitney hasn't even made it past her first. Aden would have to step it up a bit if he is going to have any chance to finish it, let alone see that Miltank. "Ah, so cuuuute!" she said. That Flaffy did look like a bit of a charmer to her. "Oh well, Clefable! Use Strength!" she then called out. Clefable then rushed for the Flaffy.
