Deep in the heart of Viridian Forest a strange mansion dwells among the trees. It is an old manor of gray bricks; the home easily predates the first revolution. Only a handful of servants live in the recmote manor to tend to its equally reclusive but very wealthy lord.

Who is he? I wouldn't ask. He can get rather touchy about personal matters.

He spends most of his days alone, gazing at his collection. Tauros heads are mounted on plaques. A flock of stuffed Farfetch'd hang from the ceiling. A Scyther's body stands poised to strike at any unsuspecting foes, his lifeless eyes finally fitting. He worked long and hard for this collection. It was a welcome distraction from his work.

What did he do? I wouldn't ask. He can get rather touchy about personal matters.

But deep inside the home lies a room that seems out of place. It is an extremely high tech greenhouse complete with weather modification abilities. Toxic plants hang throughout as swarms of smaller bugs eat from their bark unaffected. Insects are remarkably resilient creatures. A tropical rain constantly pours down from above but the insects don't seem to mind. It is soothing and cooling in the room.

And he does not battle with actual insects. Just his Pokemon. The most prized members of his collection.

Mechanics:

-Permanent Rain that can only be changed by weather stones for a length of 3r. At the end of the stone's effect, if it is not renewed, the weather goes back to rain.
-So long as rain is up, the attack drop from Burn does not apply
-Moves with the word "poison" in their name gain 3 base power
-4x weaknesses deal x2 damage, 8x weaknesses deal x2.5 damage
-SolarBeam, Synthesis, Morning Sun, and Moonlight work as if the weather is clear if it is raining.​

Leader Rediamond:
Known for his great command of the ASB mechanics and his Fearsome expertise of the Bug pokemons, Rediamond could take the battle away from you in a single round. Be wary of his Volcarona, Diego Armaldo and Shield the Shuckle as they could cause the upset that the Challenger dreads.

Challenger Frosty:
I am amazed by the fact that a Fire Gym Leader does not already own a bug gym badge, and the fact that I have the privilege of reffing such a great battle between the legendary Trainers of ASB is mind blowing. Frosty has excellent skill, combined with great temperament and attention to detail. His ability to churn out impregnable substitutions, limit the advantage of ordering second against him to a great extent. Bringing two pokemon from his Gym and two others who can greatly exploit this arena's effects, shows you why Frosty is, who he is. Gleeok the weather dragon, Tentalus the friggin' monster, Helmaroc King the Brave Sheer Force Birdie and Argorok the legendary Fire pokemon of all time; can run through any team in any weather and this might just be too much for the leader.

Round 1: Weather Dragon Scared of Expert Bug!:

The battle starts with Aurumoth setting up a shield that protects him and his teammates from Special damage, which seems a good idea considering the weather dragon is here to spam hurricane all day long. Which infact is the plan of the challenger as we all know when we saw Gleeok the Cyclohm enter the field.

The Light Screen Setup by Aurumoth greatly reduces the damage that the Weather Dragon would have done to the Expert Bug otherwise and seeing that the match up is not his liking and the fact that she should shuffle the Gym Leader's team around a bit, Frosty the Fiery Challenger asks his Gleeok the Cyclohm to use its small zig zag tail with the force of a dragon to send the Expert Bug away.

The Aurumoth was confused by the great hurricane spam done by Gleeok, but manages to land two effective attacks against the electric dragon to weaken it considerably for one of its team mates. The question now is, what will Rediamond do, now that he is unable to switch his pokemon and the fact that a Hurricane spam is inevitable.

90% sure that hera's listed stats are his mega ones. He isn't technically mega-evolved yet.

But, still.

Heracross @ Heracronite or whatever it's called.
 
Well, I wanted to enter Heracross's stats but I was so distracted by its Mega stats that it ended up in there [~_~]
Corpus the Heracross has not mega evolved yet as Rediamond said.

Round 2: Defiant Sheer Force vs The Sturdy Wall!:

Ah! May be the gym leader was hasty in his orders, Stealth Rock would have been better than creating a clone if The Defiant Sheer Force had used a damaging evasive move. But alas, not all is lost to the Gym Leader unless he thinks so himself; which I don't think he does, as we had seen him battle to the very end against a previous challenger despite the odds.

Meanwhile, the sturdy wall holds out against the Defiant Sheer Force as it takes very little damage from the Bird, who would otherwise be devastating towards his team mates. But with little offensive capabilities what does the Gym Leader have in mind for the challenger with the Sturdy Wall out on the field now? Probably we will never know until the challenger sends out his replacement for the Brave Jolly Bird that turned away from the wall in one swift motion.

Power Trick only swaps Atk and Def. SpA and SpD stay as is. Which means that Shuckle should survive with 2hp more or less. And Volkraken loses 25hp from rock slide.

I knew I was missing something, I let the calc for Rock Slide stay there for the same reason n_n.

Round 5: What you got Bug?

Rediamond tried to setup defenses before attacking, but this is one instance when he would have wished that his destroyer of the worlds was a little slower than the Helmaroc King.

Forgetting the most powerful support move of most bird pokemon, the Gym Leader goes ahead and asks his Aurumoth to setup a Reflective Screen only to be blown away by a powerful Defog from the Jolly Bird, that blew away everything except the rain from the field.

So the screens are gone, the rocks are gone, which also means that Frosty has saved 21 damage on his Charizard AND what is left now? Sub Abuse! So the challenger then went ahead and delivered a massive blow to the psychic bug which retaliated back with a greater force on the Helmaroc King. And with a perfect play this round, the Challenger is way ahead of the Gym Leader in all fronts.

We are all eager to see whom the Gym Leader would call upon to revenge kill the Helmaroc King. I think it must be Corpus, but you never know for sure with the Bug Gym Leader.
