"NO ONE calls my friends 'victims', even if you all have creepy names like Fun and Pain."
Telepathic communication said:
"... Lucy."
"Hmm?"
"Watch carefully. Because you'll be the one to defeat them."
"... What?!"
Gray grunted, now visibly enduring the battle fatigue. Lucy wanted to heal him, but Gray refused with a nearly imperceptible shake of his head, continueing their telepathic communication.
"You've seen how they act, their moves, their tactics. You have the keys to win this fight."
"B-but how can I win when you don't-"
"Yes you can! Think of what we've been through. Think of what Elfman had been through. We can beat them. But we'll need you to be at your best."
"... Alright. But-"
Next thing Gray knows, he'd switch places with Lucy.
"- you're taking the sidelines for now. Let me handle this one for now."
"Lucy what in the world are you-"
"Quiet. If you're really that injured and tired, you should be having a rest."
"No I'm not! I can still-"
"-Then go help Elfman. You can help treat his wounds as much as I can."
Lucy's next breath announces her determined intent to herself. She cared not whether Gray can read her mind, but she glided forward with grace and dignity, facing the menacing Pain whose tail-blade vibrates so fast, it became but a blurred illusion.
"I will not lose another friend before me without doing anything, ever again."
"Even if pain stays forever, we will overcome it! We will show that our strength is more than the pain!"
"Please let the good things happen... Fingers crossed..."
"Sorry Gray... Looks like I've bitten off more than I can chew this time."
"It's okay. The others will be here to help soon."
Laying his friends together, Gray walks forward, phasing out Lucy's taunt in his head, honing his thoughts to nothing but his breathing, his senses, his body. The sensations, the aura, the moment. Raising his battle spirits again, Gray called out his determination.
"We WILL triumph."
This place is as good as any to farm.
Name: Zt
Challenge Thread: Here
Rank: Silver
Pokemon:
Gray (Lucario @ Inner Focus)
Lucy (Gardeoir @ Synchronize)
Laxus (Eelektross @ Levitate)
Lucario(*) Gray (M)
Gray the Riolu first clapped eyes on Zt when he hatched, and has followed him ever since, after bidding goodbye to his birth parents. His desire to be as good as his father (who was a well-known Pokemon in Sinnoh) drives him to perfect his body and trademark Aura Sight in all forms of training. Gray is Natsu’s rival in every way, however it’s not unusual to see them interrupt their fights just to face ‘outsiders’. Like his Ice-Making namesake, Gray is a thinking brawler. His intuition for fights, along with his uncanny ability to read his opponents movements, means he can usually counter the same instant his opponent makes a move. Oddly enough, despite numerous brawls, he sometimes still can’t read Natsu’s moves correctly.
The Hall training was grueling and long, for which Gray took quite some time to getting used to. But it honed his patience, well until the point where there remained very few things that can still bother him - those he held dear to his heart. Using his mind, he started learning how to read and shape energy, to wield his mind as a separate weapon form his body. He plans to put that to great use, still holding a secret ambition to meet and challenge his birth father again, as unlikely as it may be. His aura improved tremendously with the training of his mind and body in the Halls as well as the possession of a Lucarionite - to the point where he can sense danger to a certain extent miles away.
Nature: Mild (+1 SpAtk, -1 Def)
Type:
Fighting type: Fighting STAB; ignore weight restrictions on Circle Throw, Seismic Toss, Sky Drop, Storm Throw, Submission, and Vital Throw.
Steel type: Steel STAB; immune to Sandstorm damage, immune to Poison/Toxic status, but can be corroded specifically by Acid and Acid Spray, making them susceptible thereafter.
Abilities:
Ability 1: Steadfast

Ability 2: Inner Focus
Type: Passive
When an opponent attempts to flinch Gray, it stands firm and continues its attack. If it has another ability that would be activated by flinching, that ability activates.
Ability 3: Justified (DW unlocked)
Type: Passive
Gray's body reacts to dark aura, invigorating his passions. When hit by a Dark-type move, Gray's attack will increase by one (1) stage. A boost gained this way by another Pokemon's attack will be maintained at the end of each round. Self-targeted attacks do not maintain boosts.
Ability 4: Adaptability (Mega-Evo only)
Type: Passive
The moves that match Gray's current type would have their Base Attack Power increased by two (2).

Zen HeadbuttGardevoir - Lucy (F)
Born without a family in the wild, Lucy’s life has been fraught with peril of being hunted and bullied by most other wild, stronger Pokemon. One such incident left her under severe shock from poison by an unknown aggressive Poison-type. Had a human not happened by, she would’ve died or at best, crippled for life. Luckily, Zheng was the second person to found her, called by a fellow trainer who was looking for mushrooms in that region. Together they saved the Ralts, and after a brief discussion Zheng named her Lucy and brought her into his family. Gray was the first to be able to contact directly with her, but it was through efforts and enthusiasm of the whole gang that brought her out of trauma and into life again.
Despite her growing strength, Lucy still has much distaste for open, direct conflict - hence she is very much like Wendy in that regard, learning the arts of healing and support, using direct attacks as distraction rather than full-on assault. Despite that, she gets on quite well with most of the brawling boys - they respect her decision, and will not hesitate to take her side against any foes who dared to so much as insult her. In turn, Lucy is the logical voice of the whole family - her ideas always astute outside of battle, with her innate mental capabilities only enhance her charms and perception.
The discovery of Gardevoirite trade intrigued Zheng, and when Lucy came in contact with it, she seemed to be in a far tranquil state of mind. Such was here power with the Mega Stone that the whole monastery and even nearby areas are shrouded in an aura of peace and compassion. Taking care not to affect the lives of others, Zheng had since been cautious in allowing Lucy to come in full contact with the Stone, unless the battle demands for the release of her powers.

WishLaxus - Eelektross (M)
Misunderstood since he had memory about his gender and sexuality, Laxus often feels angry at the world. At capture, he felt that only Zheng was non-judgemental to him, and more important, his anger. Yet, he still often lashes out at the people he loved because he's angry with himself for being weak. And he tries to be stronger by projecting his will upon others. Erza and Mirajane are the two who'd stand up to his reckless tantrums, not allowing him to hurt himself or those around him.
Nature: Quiet (+ SpA, -15% Speed, -10% Evasion)
Type:
Electric type: Electric STAB; immune to paralysis status.

Dig and Dive can strike a Levitating Pokemon if their user is over Size Class 4, has Levitate, is 3.5m or larger, or is a Flying-type. Otherwise Dig and Dive will miss. Ground moves can still hit.
