Welcome to Gaia! ::

"But of course, this is the Battle Chateau, is it not? As you might have overheard I am a bit of a picky woman when it comes to my battles. But you, my strange friend, seem fit to accompany me in battle! Shall we step out into the hall? I don't want to damage my tea set." She said with a smile, getting up from the table and exiting the room.

Upon entering the hallway she would take out a regular Pokeball, kind of old looking, and toss it onto the floor. "Swirl!" The cotton candy Pokemon would cry as it appeared from its ball, standing up on its tail as it observed its surroundings. "Viscountess Ayla would like to battle." She said with a laugh.

"Such a gentleman...I'll start then. Swirlix, remember to Play Nice." Ayla said with a smile. The Swirlix would squeal excited, hop over to Zangoose, and throw its self onto the Pokemon's chest, nuzzling up to him happily while giving tons of sticky kisses.

"Oh no!" Ayla called out as she saw her little Fairy get slugged. The Swirlix was sent flying by the icy blow, a little bit of frozen 'cotton candy' left behind on Zangoose's fist. As the poor Fairy tumbled on the ground it began to cry, just laid on the ground where it had stopped and began to sob uncontrollably. "I-I thought we were f-friends!" The creature cried out to Zangoose, Fake Tears.

"Such fearsome grace, I can feel your Pokemon's power from here! Swirlix, show some appreciation, give him a kiss!" Ayla called out. The cotton candy ball of a Pokemon would skip on over to Zangoose and dive straight at its mouth, planting a sticky kiss on its lips. The gooey kiss would bind the two together temporarily but that wasn't the most worrisome part. Zangoose would find its energy being sapped away by the kiss.

The Slash attack was devastating, the poor Fairy reeling back in pain as it was struck. The Swirlix's only saving grace was the energy it had stolen from Zangoose, keeping it conscious. "Both of you fight admirably, I can't remember a time where I had more fun. Alas, all good things must come to an end...Swirlix, Energy Ball." Ayla called out.

Swirlix would close its mouth upon hearing the command and its cheeks would begin to swell, as if something was amassing inside. Before long its cheeks were almost as big as its small body. Just when it looked it was going to pop, Swirlix opened its mouth as wide as it could and with a belching sound it spat out a mass of green energy almost as big as it.

The Swirlix was pummeled by the full force of the powerful bond between Zangoose and Blizzard. The cotton candy fairy did not stand a chance against such a devastating attack, the poor creature ending up in a heap of its own shredded fluff on the ground. "My, that was thrilling!" Ayla declared as she recalled her Swirlix. "Thank you, strange one, for such a magnificent battle! I know you'll have a very hard time working your way up the ranks here, though not by your skills, but I'll be cheering for you from afar." She said with a smile.

Ayla then stood there staring at Blizzard, the smile never leaving her face. After several minutes of silence she spoke again. "I think I've seen all Kalos has to offer. Thank you, you've helped me more than you realize. I'm going to take a trip to Hoenn and find an old friend of mine...maybe we'll meet again one day." With a smile wave, she departed, walking down the hallway until out of sight.

However, before she left, she had whispered something to her made, causing said maid's eyes to grow wide. Once Ayla was gone, the maid approached Blizzard and bowed. "Lady Ayla has given me orders to battle you. Should you defeat me, I will be transferred to your service. I can assist you greatly in your time here so perhaps I would be a valuable asset to you. Almost all other nobles here have a servant." The maid explained.

"Very well, I pray for your victory." She said with a bow. With that said the maid took on a more serious stance as she rose up and tossed a Pokeball onto the field. The ball would pop open and out came a small bug Pokemon wrapped in white fur and only its grey head poking out. "Spew!" It cried. "I am prepared for battle." The maid declared.

"Here I come, sire. Spewpa, Rage Powder." The maid ordered. Spewpa would begin to shake its body vigorously, a fine red powder releasing from its body, wafting towards Glaceon quickly. This particular type of powder, if inhaled, would cause the target to succumb to rage. The affected Pokemon would want nothing more than to destroy the user of the move, to such an extent that even commands by the trainer may be ignored. Pure rage.
