Tualang City is a frontier town on the edge of a gigantic rainforest in a newly discovered region. While the town is far from the largest in the colony, it is the home of many explorers not currently on an expedition. This has led to it becoming a hub for science, as many of the plants, animals, and Pokemon in the forest have the potential to create powerful medicines. One such institution of science is the Verde Insect Research Center. Also known as the Tualang City Gym.

As you walk into the gym, you are quickly confronted by a large main hall that stretches up seven stories, with an enormous tree dominating the center of the room. A large number of exhibits line the walls and kiosks of the room, and it becomes evident that the building also serves as a museum on bug type Pokemon and the rainforest ecosystem as a whole. You wander almost to the back of the room before finally finding a desk marked "Tualang Gym Registration." Walking up to it, you find that there is no secretary, but rather a sign pointing to a door about ten feet behind it reading:

"Off tending the Pokemon, please come see me if you wish to talk.

-Gregor."


Seeing nothing better to do, you walk inside the door. A fantastic view awaits you upon entry.

This room is easily larger than the main hall, and is filled with terrain closely resembling the forest outside. Ivy-coated walls stretch up a full thirty feet to a massive spider web that appears to serve as the roof of the exhibit. From the humidity and heat of the room, you assume that it's a massive greenhouse, even if this isn't really necessary given that the city is in a rainforest climate.

A narrow trail cuts further on into the gym, leading through a dense forest of tropical foilage and exotic sounds. The dirt under your feet is quite moist, but what disturbs you most is a constant rushling in the plants around you. Whenever you stop, you can never hear anything, but it always seem to begin a little closer when you start moving.

After a very creepy hike, you eventually do see another human being on the trail. The man is wearing a green lab coat, and staring intently through a pair of binoculars at something in front of him. Wondering what he's doing, you take a step forwards and follow his gaze.

Yanmega fly over a pond about fifty meters away, and Surskit and Anorith swim on or near the surface. An Armaldo basks in the moisture and light at the edge of the water, while a Scyther drinks from the far end, eyeing every other creature in the area. You can vaguely make out an Ariados in the treeline, with Butterfree flying between the trees- out of reach of the Yanmega.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" You turn around to find the scientist standing up, looking at you. "I'm Gregor, the league's Bug Gym leader. Are you here seeking a challenge." You nod yes, and Gregor pulls out his notebook and glances over it. "Alright, I can pencil you in for a battle at 3:00. We have a demonstration then, and I like giving the guests something to look at beyond the usual show. Does this work for you."

You affirm it does, and he begins to walk back down the trail. Not particularly willing to be left behind with the Pokemon in the forest, you quickly run to meet him and walk out of the room in silence. Just as he you are about to reenter the main hall, you realize that you forgot to ask something important. "So, just where are we fighting at?"

The gym leader smiles sinisterly, and points out over your head. You follow his gaze, and see the web on top of the room.

Bug Gym Arena:

A large, tightly woven web stretches across the floor of the arena, while another one is spun about 8 feet above it. The webs are held together by a concrete structure, with windows surrounding the entire arena to allow visitors a chance to see the battle. While the arena is set up in such a way as to allow as many moves as possible, there are still some practical restrictions.

-3 vs 3 singles
-All moves not specified as banned are allowed in the arena
-Rock Slide cannot be used
-No natural water
-Due to the webbing above and below the arena, all Pokemon not of the bug or ground types will have the priority of all stages of bounce, fly, and dig reduced by 0.5
-In addition to their normal item, all Pokemon may carry a type resist berry. Due to the fireproof and sticky nature of the webbing, the berry cannot be swapped or destroyed by Trick, Switcheroo, Knock Off, or thief. Even if the player does not have a resist berry, they can draw one of any type from the arena
-Bug-types are immune to Stealth Rock
-RP actions are not only allowed but encouraged for the purposes of the demonstration

Otherwise Dig and Dive will miss. Ground moves can still hit. Levitate Pokemon will retain the Levitate trait when they use Skill Swap on an enemy, and will steal the opponent's ability (the user can specify if they want a foe or ally to gain Levitate from a Skill Swap.) If a Pokemon with Levitate uses Role Play, they will copy the opponent's abilities and retain Levitate.

Light Metal: (Trait) The Pokemon's body is made of a lightweight but extremely strong alloy. It weighs half as much as other members of the species, but is equally sturdy. The Pokemon executes weak attacks much more effectively, adding +1 priority to all their attacks with 6 or less Base Attack Power (after other ability adjustments). Priority is applied to the summed Base Attack Power of a multi-hit move (e.g. Double Kick has priority at 6 BAP, Skill Link Bullet Seed doesn't at 15 BAP.)

Drought (Type: Innate) [DW, Unlocked]
When this Pokemon is sent out, it summons blistering sunlight that scorches the field and does not end, expending 10% of its energy to do so. It can re-summon the effect mid-battle for 9% Energy with a command.

"Hm...so I send out first...well, let's do the expected thing!"


Sending Out Hex the Ninetales @ Charti Berry
 

"Hello, and welcome to the third Tualang City Gym exhibition match. Our first insect today is making his third appearance in a formal gym match. Nomen armaldo is an ancient bug revived from a claw fossil. They are not known for their trickery, but they did lay defenses around their aquatic layers to keep Kabutops and Omastar away. We will be seeing this behavior shortly."

Armaldo @ Passho Berry

Stealth Rock~Earthquake~Rock Blast
IF Will-o-Wisp AND Protect is not imprisoned AND Protect was not used the previous action, use Protect and push actions back
IF Roar, cling onto the web that action (it's a spiders web, if it can prevent switches by being tangled in it, surely a bug could do the same thing with one) and push actions back
IF Stealth Rocks are not up on the opponent's side of the field when you move, use Stealth Rock and push actions back

And this match begins with Ninetales vs the gym leaders trusty Armaldo, one of the bulkiest bugs around. Ninetales quickly Hypnotizes Armaldo to buy time, though it only struck for one action it seems. Ninetales then Charmed Armaldo, lessening its attacking power, while Armaldo set up those crucial Stealth Rocks. Finally, Ninetales released a devastating wave of heat, singing the strands of the web while Armaldo shook the web with an Earthquake, weakening it further.

Allowing Ullar to change his berry to the grass-resist one. Don't worry if the edit happens after this post.


"Well, we'll move to. As Nomen armaldo exists the stage, Lucanus heracross is taking his place. Lucanus heracross is an offensive monster capable of ravaging entire forests before their rampage ends. While they do have access to trickery, they very seldom actually need it."

Heracross @ Occa Berry

Megahorn~Brick Break~Megahorn
IF Megahorn is Disabled when you would use it, use Brick Break instead
IF Confuse Ray AND you don't have a substitute up, use Substitute (20) and push actions back

IF Corpus uses Protect, AND he has not used it on the previous action, use Aqua Ring the first time, THEN Chill.

burn rolls are all that are relevant

Simisear fainted!

Heracross fainted!



And Rediamond's plan worked perfectly up until the point where Simisear burned its ass. And both Pokemon go down, one from attacking prowess, one from residual damage.
