It had always been interesting, the way in which Gyms come and go. Indeed, it was only 10 years ago when it would've been odd for anyone to consider Castelia City hosting the Electric Gym, but it was now. The HMS Tesla stands proudly in the port, although it normally sails a mile away from the port for the purpose of battles. The ship is a fairly standard ship, from the Falklands era. It has been fitted to accommodate battles, and notably on the main deck you can see what appears to be a giant crown - 4 golden arches curve around to support a giant gemstone above the deck.

Entering the ship, you immediately enter what appears to be a relatively fancy restaurant, quite busy. Looking around, there appears to be a window viewing the arena directly, as well as several plasma screens showing the currently empty arena. As you look around, you're greeted by a man in yellow and black attire.

"Hello there, welcome aboard the HMS Tesla. Are you here for the restaurant or the gym? The Gym? Well, this is special, the guests tonight will get a lovely show. We'll probably be ready to battle in about half an hour or so, so until then feel free to sit down and order a coffee."

Indeed, the ship does get rather full, and as the sun sets the ship begins to move out to sea. As you finish your coffee, the man returns - at this stage, you're fairly certain this is the gym leader. You're beckoned outside, and see the arena is stationed below the crown shape. However, you can't take in the beauty before the leader speaks again...

"Emolga, give us some light will ya!"

An Emolga pops out of the leader's Pokéball, and sends a small shot of lighting at the gem in the centre of the crown. It absorbs the electricity and lights up, revealing itself to actually be a giant ThunderStone. Impressive...

"Now then, a few things before we begin. Whenever you send out a Pokémon this giant rock will zap the item. Don't worry about it, it'll be perfectly safe. It just prevents it from being a drag for when your team is moving around. We also have plants and grass available on the arena as you should see, not to mention the small amount of water that surrounds this ship. You'll also note that this ship, whilst much of it has been replaced and altered, is still of British origin and has brought the weather along with it..."

The leader clicks his fingers, and on cue a light rain smothers the arena.

"Finally, good luck, and make sure you provide a good show!"
  • All Pokémon who benefit from the item ThunderStone instantly gain the effect.
  • No Pokémon is treated as holding an item for the sake of Acrobatics BAP.
  • During "Clear" weather, a light rain falls, which acts as normal rain, except with only ±1 BAP on Water/Fire Moves
  • There is no restriction on natural substances (Natural water, Grass, Rocks, etc.) to attack with.

ZhengTann
Meganium - Wendy (F)

They say the calmest waters often hide the most turbulent undercurrents, the stillest air often the premonition to the most terrible storms. So does Wendy. She's nice and pretty, often the team's peacemaker (pacemaker too), but her spirit is indomitable. In battle, Wendy wields the very force of nature itself - the plants and the wind that blows between leaves are her primary defence. Wendy is very trusting of strangers, despite Charla's frequent rebukes, but the fact that they're inseparable makes most Daycare visitors hesitate - except for Zheng. Wendy looks upon Natsu and Gray as big brothers, and they respond in kind - protective of their siblings as if of the same lineage.

After months of travel, Zheng intends to find a suitable place to build a small monastery, where he can have a roof over his family's head while he preaches and travels on his own. Wendy is the first to express support for the idea - a plant must have roots, after all. The outside world has weathered her and given her experience, but she remains hopeful of the promise of a better present and future - especially when she founds herself having fun with the girls in the family, or going about on errands with the lads. She is determined to protect the family's roots, as she calls their indomitable spirit, and will fight if the challenges arise.

Ever the small girl of the family, she wants to grow up, to be independent. Never a rebel, her desires were rooted in her feelings for others - she wants to be independent, because she does not want to be just a burden to everyone. Tending the monastery orchard, she finally found her way to adapt into her nature, and her training in Battle Hall allowed her to realise her potential and evolve. She is still afraid of certain things (like pickles), but she decided that she will never be backing down from her fears or her chances again.


Nature: Quiet (+1 SpAtk, -15% Speed, -10% Evasion)

Type:
Grass type: Grass STAB; immunity to Leech Seed, Worry Seed, and all "Powder" based attacks (Poisonpowder, Powder, Rage Powder, Sleep Powder, Spore, Stun Spore). Petal Dance will not be disrupted by oncoming damage. Ignores Arena restrictions on Grass attacks requiring an external grass source.


Abilities:
Ability 1: Overgrow
Type: Passive
When this Pokemon’s HP is lower than 33% (flat), the Base Attack Power of any grass attack is increased by two (2).

Ability 2: Leaf Guard (DW Unlocked)
Type: Passive
In bright sunlight, the Pokemon is surrounded by a faint green glow. The glow protects it from all permanent and temporary status conditions.

Haxorus(*) Natsu (M)

Just like his namesake, Natsu is an orphan, having no recollection of his parents’ fate. As such, Natsu loneliness made him grew to be very independent, to the point where he will erupt in great battle fury whenever his freedom is threatened. However, he is very much attached to his trainer, Zt, looking up to him as a partner as they search the wilds for Natsu’s direct lineage. Natsu doesn’t sharpen his tusks on a regular basis – unlike some Axews, he prefers a thicker tusk, even though they break off at pretty much the same intervals due to his affinity for intense fights. Natsu is always in a fierce competition with Gray, often challenging the other into mock spars, but the rivalry comes with respect and loyalty towards each other too. Natsu fights with the ferocity that comes with every Dragon – by fang and claw, for the very survival of his world and existence.

Beaten down at every turn never shakes Natsu's confidence - to him, a loss is just another step towards being stronger. Having new members to the team suddenly wrought certain changes to his fighting spirit. Willing to forsake his own safety for that of his friends, Natsu's newfound family is his main source of strength to improve himself and keep going.

Learning to fight with a clear mind, even in the midst of battle rage, is not easy - but Natsu is now one of the few that did it. Through rigorous training, he bridged the gap between instinct and thought, acting on cues his opponent didn't even realise to counter and parry at precisely the same time they make their move. Broadening his mind's eye also allows Natsu to make use of the environment more efficiently, as well as track his opponents battle habits - something only Gajeel can match, which became a newfound reason they keep coming to blows.


Nature: Jolly (+15% Speed, -1 SpA, +14% Acc)

Type:
Dragon Type: Dragon STAB; Thrash or Outrage will not be disrupted by oncoming damage.

Abilities:
Ability 1: Mold Breaker
Type: Passive
Whenever this Pokemon attacks, it emits an invisible, blindingly quick pulse preceding the attack that disables the opponents natural abilities (e.g. Levitators plummet towards the ground before Earthquake hits, Volt Absorb will not absorb electric attacks, Clear Body does not prevent stat-drops, etc.)

Ability 2: Rivalry
Type: Passive
This Pokemon has a primal response to competition and mating, increasing the Base Attack Power of all its attacks by two (2) when it attacks an opponent of the same gender, and decreasing the power of all its attacks by two (2) when it attacks an opponent of the opposite gender.

Ability 3: Unnerve (DW unlocked)
Type: Passive
The Pokemon's presence causes immense tension in the opponent, preventing them from eating a held Berry. Natural Gift may still be used.

Muk - Cana (F)

Cana is an alcoholic, probably one of the very few Pokemon throughout the world to actually enjoy imbibing such beverages. Her natural biological system is the prime cause for her incredible alcoholic tolerance, and also of her encounter with Zheng - she was drinking in the wine cellar under a small inn when the innkeeper caught her red-handed. Flustered, the innkeeper cannot do anything without Pokemons, and Zheng arrived to save half the cellar, while paying off the other half. Flirtatious and often half-drunk, she's quite an addition to the family - as well as quite the reason of Zheng's oft-empty purse.

Her drinking exploits have garnered quite a reputation amongst the locals, much to Zheng's chagrin. However, Cana was smart enough not to bring her habits into the monastery, and so Zheng can't really do much but rebuke her gently. When sober, she often purifies the monastery's nearby stream by absorbing all the intoxicants and harmful substances from the water - which is why some local brewers drew water from the monastery when they make their ales.


Nature: Quiet (+1 SpA, -15% Speed, -10% Evasion)

Type:
Poison type: Poison STAB; immunity to Poison/Toxic status. Absorb Toxic Spikes on switch-in. Perfect accuracy when using Toxic, Poison Gas, or Poison Powder, hitting even during Dig, Fly, etc. Ignore Fog's accuracy reduction.



Abilities:
Ability 1: Stench
Type: Passive
Cana's sexy, boozy odor reeks into each of its attacks, causing all of them to have a 10% flinch rate. This applies to each hit of a multi-hit move.

Ability 2: Sticky Hold
Type: Passive
Cana cradles her items much like the way she cradles her alcohol barrel, in a strong grip that prevents item theft or swapping.

Ability 3: Poison Touch (DW Unlocked)
Type: Toggle
Cana can channel her body's alcoholic resistances into a form of offense. Whenever she hits an opponent with a contact attack, that opponent has a 30% chance of being Poisoned. If disabled, all of her attacks that inflict regular poison will inflict Toxic poison (with the same chance of effect).

Gardevoir - 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.

Nature: Bold (+1 Def, -1 Atk)

Type:

Ability 3: Telepathy (DW Unlocked)
Type: Passive
This Pokemon creates a mental link with its allies in multiple allies, allowing it to avoid taking damage from attacks that affect the whole field like Earthquake and Surf.

Well here I am making my very first trip aboard the HMS Tesla in an attempt to see what the place is all about. Zhengtann seems to already be confident in knowing what is coming his way, otherwise why else would he be challenging the electric gym? He does so without bringing anyone with a distinct type advantage over the many thunderous Pokemon he will be facing, in fact only two of his team even resist electric attacks. That is surely an interesting choice. Electric Leader dogfish44 brings along his usual trusty team, barely giving a thought to what any challenger might bring. He might find his anti-Ground core of Krillowatt, Lanturn and Cyclohm being a little without their usual usefulness here though. But he's not one of the most winningest original gym leaders for nothing.

First of all lets decide who sends out first, an ever important result in doubles. Heads will see the leader kick us off while tails means the honour falls to the challenger.

"Well, this is certainly an interesting collection. However, it'll need to be more than just interesting to be any good!"

Electivire @ Electirizer and Eelektross @ Expert Belt will lead for us.

"Hey Dogfish-"

"Listen up. You ever heard of a monk named Zheng?"

"Err, no."

"Well, he'll be boarding next Thursday for a challenge, and I'm inclined to do him a favour. Through you."

"Wait, wha-?"

"No buts, Tanner. You still owe me about five million quid in alcoholic beverages. We'll be hauling anchor on 6pm sharp. Be there and you get to write a piece for me again, and if you do the favour, consider all debts dropped."

"... Will you zap me and throw me offboard?"

"As much as I'm obliged to, your behind will be dry and safe - until you decided to say no."

" *gulp* Okay."

"That's the bhante?"

"Yes."

"... And what do you want me to do?"

"I'l tell you when your battle ends. For now, write your article, and no beverages for you."

"Wha-? No even bottled water?!"

Back to the arena...


"Thank you again, Dogfish."

"We're here for battling, bhante."

"And so battle with circumstances we shall."

"Let's go!!!"

Natsu the Haxorus with Dragon Fang, and Cana the Muk with Black Sludge to start off a 2-0, I think.

Natsu (Haxorus @ Dragon Fang): Dragon Claw > Dual-Chop > Dragon Claw, all @ SF-Electivire.
IF SF-Electivire uses Counter, THEN redirect towards Murena-Eelektross in subsequent instances instead.
IF SF-Electivire uses Bide, THEN redirect towards Murena-Eelektross instead.
IF SF-Electivire is KO'ed, THEN replace that action with Aerial Ace @ Murena-Eelektross instead.


Cana (Muk @ Black Sludge): Sludge Bomb > Mud Bomb > Sludge Bomb, all @ SF-Electivire.
IF SF-Electivire uses non-combo Dig, THEN redirect towards Murena-Eelektross instead.
IF SF-Electivire is under the effects of Double Team, THEN replace that action with Rock Slide instead.
IF SF-Electivire is KO'ed, THEN replace that action with Energy Ball @ Murena-Elektross instead.

The Leader looks immediately at home here aboard his ship. His two Pokemon work seemlessly together to combine their respective immunities and allow dogfish to grab momentum right off the back when Murena simultaneously slows the opponents and speeds up Short Fuse. This pretty well sets the tone for the rest of the round as the electric types dance around ZhengTann's team and lay a heavy hurt on Cana. Meanwhile the Muk finds itself rather out of place as its offence is largely ineffective without any kind of boosting item or strong coverage. Natsu on the other hand showed in his one opportunity that he could provide more than enough power with simple neutral coverage, but then again that is pretty much all a Haxorus ever does. Too bad for ZhengTann its his useful team member who gets struck by paralysis. At least no one was KOed and the challenger now has a chance to respond while ordering second himself.

Wow, Rotom-Frost. Haven't seen Dogfish fielding it the last few times I was here. Granted I wasn't here that many times but his usual active team is more Cyclohm + Krilowatt after those two starters. Anyway, Bhante seems to be in a tough spot. Maybe he'll switch to Gardevoir for a neutral-

<"Go ahead, young sir.">

What the- ? Both his Pokemons are struggling against Paralysis. Dogfish is going to run circles all around him, what is he thinking?
Counterswitch declined. Given the HP levels, ordering second is favourable even under this match-up.

EDIT @ Dogfish below: Actually it won't. I'm still happier ordering second with two mons that aren't gonna be OAKO'ed without doing anything. Basically it means Haxorus ends the round with 80 HP, Muk 37.

So we have less than one-fifth of a chance that everything goes exactly according to plan - which just about entails surviving the round, KO-ing Electivire, and shaving half of Rotom-Frost's HP. Tall order, when you're barely 5.5 feet tall. Let's do this!
Zheng said:
This is a gamble, of course. Natsu and Cana knew it, I knew it, anyone who has the power to see through our thoughts knew it. And a gamble is always frowned upon as a Buddhist - at the heart of it, we are too preoccupied with our selves, and a gamble is one of the ways to bring all those bad emotions to surface, the roots of all three poisons. Yet now that I'm here, now that I'm battling, if a gamble is my best act, then let the dice roll and fall as they may.

Maybe I should stop Pokemon battling and other matters, focusing only on what I wished to do - to study and to share the wisdom of my elders.

"Zheng... If you want to stop, just tell us."

"No. Let's do it."

"Oh right, time to really get serious! I'm all fired up!!"

Well as expected everything went terribly wrong for ZT, just not in the most obvious ways. Both Natsu and Cana are able to avoid their paralysis and set up Muk to live through the round courtesy of Endure. Unfortunately that's where the good luck ended. Natsu was all set up to do a very un-Haxourus thing and let someone else hit first but unfortunately its a little hard to Counter when you're frozen solid courtesy of Short Fuse's Ice Punch. Muk is able to pull of a Pain Split to bring Short Fuse into what would have been Natsu's KO range but unfortunately that's all the damage the challenger is able to get in for the round as paralysis rubs a little salt into the wound, even though that Shadow Sneak would have done very little. At least a sliver of luck goes Zheng's way when one of Pulse's Blizzards misses the susceptible dragon type and both of his Pokemon are able to live the round. Albeit at a now huge HP differential.

Well, there goes any chance of victory. Wasn't kidding about the "less than a fifth of a chance" part.

And the freeze practically ended the challenge, then and there. But the bhante smiled. Smiled.

What gym challenger walks in, then bows out just like that? Is he even here for the badge? It was then when I realised that I stared for too long. He looked at me straight in the eye, put his palms together and nodded in greeting, the smile never leaving his face. I, uh, dropped my glass on the plush carpet in my haste - earning a baleful look from Dogfish, no doubt - to emulate him. Curiouser and curiouser... What is Bhante doing here?

In a way, I was relieved. Maybe I was expecting this all along? I will need to remember Master's teaching about awareness again. This life of a travelling Trainer - it is much, yes, but too much for one like me to handle, I am afraid. The Pokemons, they can come and go as they please, only they choose to stay, because I'm the one with the Pokeballs instead of the other way around...

And what of the monastery? Small, yes, but a beginning. A seed that may one day grow into a tree... Perhaps it is time to enter retreat. But that is a decision for another time.

Short Fuse plays around a little to have the opponents waste as much time as they can trying in vain to KO him, much like Cana did last round. Meanwhile Pulse sures up the team's defences a little with a Light Screen then resumes just firing away with Blizzards which hit Wendy and Lucy pretty well equally as hard. Basically dogfish44 chips away little by little at the challenger while taking little damage himself. It doesn't take any clairvoyants to predict the almost free switch to get Electivire out next round. Those playing along at home might have previously taken note of how well Eelektross can deal with a Gardevoir.

I think I might follow right behind Maxim as the Electric Gym challenger with the second worst results...?
Tanner said:
Oh no. Oh no, by all that is sparkling and arcing electricity, no. Dogfish finally sends out Boltair, his signature Emolga - which has been semi-retired and offered a position in his Gym only as an honourary member. It is rumoured that the Emolga once helped Dogfish took on a legendary Pokemon, all on their own... If that is true, how could any Trainer stand a chance?

"Boltair, go out and have fun."

"Squee~~ ^_^"

<"So you did finally accepted it.">


"Hmm, what, your bait? I suppose it wouldn't matter, now that your hook is worn and your line is short."

"Indeed. But you forgota about the sinker."

Wait, has Bhante been awaiting for it all along? Why?
Counterswitch declined. We're about as fine as we can get, which is to say not fine at all.

"Keep them working out there."

Emolga: Encore (Meganium) ~ Air Slash (Gardevoir) ~ Acrobatics (Gardevoir)
IF Meganium uses Protective/Evasive move A1 THEN Taunt (Gardevoir) A1
IF Meganium uses Magic Coat A1, THEN Acrobatics (Gardevoir) A1​

Eelektross: Acid Spray (Gardevoir) ~ Acid ~ Acid Spray (Gardevoir)
IF Gardevoir uses a Protective/Evasive action THEN Acrobatics (Meganium)​

Well at least this round is statistically more sound than the last. 90 percent chance of a KO go.
Zheng said:
So he did send out Boltair, after all. A gesture of respect - Dogfish is now back to who he really is, a young, true Trainer who can be himself again, one who loves to be with his Pokemon instead of a Gym Leader whose sole intention is to defend his badge. Still, he makes his intention very clear - if anything, he is more determined than ever to win this. Not for the badge, but for the bonds between him and his Pokemon.

Yes, even as I think of it, it sounds mushy. These love-hate relationships are part of what shackles us, what causes us no end to the cycle of misery and happiness. Yet I admit that I am still learning, and in need of a better way to learn. There is a young man Dogfish spoke of aboard this ship - whom he says can provide me with help?
Wendy (Meganium @ Rare Candy): Magic Coat > Counter (Murena-Eelektross) > Leaf Storm (Murena-Eelektross)

Don't even know why I thought to check this but we have a small problem Dogfish44. Your profile indicates you only have one Everstone, which Rotom is already using. You might have to either show me where you purchased a second Everstone or select an alternate item for Emolga.

Huh, that one's not come up before. It's probably because Rotom and Emolga tend to be in different matches.

I'll just swap into a Life Orb then. ZhengTann, my orders will remain static (All that changes is I lose a smidgen damage and get a bit of recoil), but if you wish to update please do so.

So it seems things continue to go wrong for ZT. Unfortunately this time it can't be blamed on hax but simply our challenger forgetting about that little Light Screen Pulse set up last round. This means that Lucy's Mega Moonblast can't do quite enough to KO Murena, although the eel is not long for this world. Unfortunately Emolga escaped with only self inflicted damage and all 4 of ZT's Pokemon are now weakened significantly, with Lucy owing a cooldown on top of it all. Looks like the little flying rat thing might get to clean up here. That happens a surprising amount in this gym for what is otherwise an unremarkable Pokemon.
