Volcarona floats back and forth while facing Gobble and keeping it’s distance. They’re in no hurry, and taking time to size you up. It flies strangely, like it’s tied to a point on the ground in front of it and is straining against a tether. You wonder how well it can maneuver or turn.

The fire slowly expands anywhere it can be found. You remember a fire safety video you watched once that explained how quickly, exponentially, fire can grow. Things seem perfectly fine now, but it could spread quickly. Plus it’ll weaken parts and cause them to fall.

It’s three pokemon each in this battle. But if that flying pokemon can probably just wait you out if you let it.

Unless Iron Defense is being treated as a general buff to defenses I don't think it would help that much against a (primarily) special attacker. May as well just take advantage of its weaknesses.

>>1175460
I was thinking as using it as long term durability and maybe to strengthen Mace when we start having him rocket around.

>>1175460
I think the idea is that maybe it makes him heat resistant to the residual heat? But yeah, Volcarona isn't gonna have that many physical attacks unless the guy is going easy.

“Hurricane!” The Fire Priest yells.

Winds whip up and soon Mace is engulfed in a furious tornado. It’s technically forming over the wooden platform, and that’s one of the big differences right? Maybe you should look that up after. Whatever the case, it starts pushing Mace, then lifts him into the air a few feet.


Uh oh! A chunk of wood is going to hit him, too! It’s just your luck!

“Mace! Iron Defense!”

Mace quickly uses the move before smashing into the flying wooden column and coming to a skidding stop. He looks relatively unscathed from that.

“Good, job, Mace!”

“Clever, but it won’t save you from the heat of our souls!”

What does that mean?

“Sunny Day!”

The fire closes in on Mace. You hadn’t noticed at first, but the winds from before really accelerated it. The edges fall away and Mace begins to run out of room. He can stay for a bit, but not long. The sunlight is slowly increasing.

“Mace! Rock Blast!”

The fiery bug (is it flying type or bug type?) works on Sunny Day and already charging it’s attack while Mace fires a barrage of rocks. They pelt Volcarona, once, twice, thrice! Then another! The fire pokemon twirls as it goes down below the flat wooden area that Mace is on..

But it rises up! One wing beats twice as hard as the other as it manages to land on the wooden platform. It’s surrounded by fire on all sides.

“Solar Beam! Save Absorb for the next one!”

Green energy gathers around it. That thing’s fast!

“Mace! Headbutt! Give it everything you have! And when you’re done that, give it more!”

Mace listens, and he hears you. He feels you. There are smarter, or more clever ways to handle this situation. But this isn’t about that. This is about the heat of battle. He’s made it clear he wants you to show your passion. For this one fantastic moment, you’re not trying to win a battle. You’re going to win a test of wills. It’s not even about fighting your insecurities, although that’s probably the spark that made you decide to do this. It’s that deep, hidden, frightening desire to go beyond your limits, and to push Mace to go beyond his. There’s nothing scarier or more excited than seeing where they truly are.

Mace runs, then rockets at his opponent. He’s lifted off the ground and picking up speed.

The Fire Priest laughs madly. “Yes. YES! Glorious! The way of fire isn’t hiding it the shadows, it’s bringing the light and heat of your passion out for all to see!”

Mace rockets around a splintering chunk of wood. The green light finishes gathering around Volcarona. Even if it’s your opponent, you can’t help but admire the it’s grace and concentration as it fires.

The beam blows into Mace, almost stopping him in mid flight. But he fires stronger and pushes on. The fire all around suck into the green energy beam, creating a terrible and awesome blow of wind and heat. But Mace pushes even harder.

Everything slows. The sparks and fire and debris float and everything stands still. It's only now that you realize that you're screaming.

Their heads collide. Volcarona and Mace crash over the edge of the platform. Volcarona is clearly out, but it’s unclear about Mace.

“Mace! Grab on!”

Mace shakes himself awake. His foot stretches out, reaching for the vertical beam. He’s dropping quickly.

He connects. It causes him to spin and create a cacophony of wooden tones as his limbs embed into, then come out of, the wooden beam. He slows enough to come to a yanking stop, and you breath a sigh of relief.

Volcarona is retrieved, then replaced with a Rapidash. It lands on the platform above Mace. They don’t have line of sight to each other, but that doesn’t mean Mace is safe where he is.

“Just rest for a minute. Don’t strain yourself.”

Rapidash stomps a hole into the floor. The strong pokemon loses it’s balance for a second as it has to fish it’s foot out. For being on such a rickety and flaming platform, it sure is keeping calm. You guess this isn’t it’s first time, though.

“Gah. Can’t get it much wider than that, can you? No matter. Ember! Force it out of hiding and Solar Beam”

Mace peaks out from the pillar he’s stuck himself into. A whizzing Ember pelts him in the face and burns him. He uses his Rawst berry, though. But still, he’s it rough shape. You think even another weak move like that might just knock him off, or out.

Rapidash rears back and looks for a better angle of attack. It tries stomping around the hole to enlarge it.

“Your passion is admirable, but your pokemon is in an impossible position. Throw in the towel for him, and send your next one out.”

Is that a test, or does he mean that?

“Mace! Rocket up and Smack Down!”

Mace moves his weight up and down. One, two three, and he jumps up. He fires his excess energy to fly up.

But it gives out after a second. He reaches an apex, then starts going down. He makes a noise and pushes to give himself more power, but despite getting a few feet higher, it’s a losing battle.

More wood is kicked out, and Rapidash has a large hole to fire through.

“Solar- no. Fire Spin.” His tone has disappointment in it. “Carefully.”

Mace is spun around in a whirlwind of fire. It slows his descent and he bumps his head into a pillar. It’s not that hard, but it takes out whatever fight was left in him.

And it also keeps him from dropping into the water like a...well, a rock. You look to the Fire Priest. Give motions to Mace with his great eyebrows.

You take the hint and retrieve Mace before he starts falling faster.

“Good job, Mace. I’m proud of you.”

You reach for your next pokemon. Rapidash looks like it’s getting antsy on the flaming, flat open platform. It won’t last much longer.

No. 1s are critfails, 100 are crit success, 95+ is a critical hit in the battle system with 100 being double plus good.

>Gobble, you’re up!
Got to be careful of solar beam, so no Dice for this fight.

>gym leader: hey, you should recall your Pokemon, it's in a bad position and almost fainted.

He did try.

>>1176753
>Gobble, you’re up!

>>1176794
Not what he said

>>1176786
Dice is also susceptible to solar beam

There's still a battlefield for Gobble to utilize and his Thick Fat offers him better protection. If we send Dice in now and we lose all the platforms Gobble will have no zero mobility. This way, if Gobble gets KO'd, Dice has the water advantage.

>>1176794
I meant more in the sense that he wouldn't deliberately hit at full force or do anything else that would seriously risk it's health. Which is exactly what he did.

>>1176819
It sets a bad precedent and example to have our Pokemon's safety at the mercy of other trainers, even if it's in a friendly battle.

>>1176753
>Dice, go!

>>1176819
I would expect him to call the entire match off as no winner like that one leader did to Vance, and we would have it coming.

>>1176819
You're right, a gym leader would try his best to keep his opponent's pokemon safe. But it's irresponsible to bank on that and use that as an excuse to push our pokemon too hard. Probably not a good habit to fall into.

>>1176819
>>1176833

“Gobble! You’re up!”

You send Gobble out. He lands on the least flame-touched part of the platform. But it’s got to be getting hot there.

The Fire Priest looks lost in thought for a second, but the appearance of a new opponent takes him right out of it. “Rapidash! Let’s show that Munchlax what speed means!”

Oh yeah. Rapidash are supposed to be really fast.

Gobble slams his fist into his hand, then makes a sumo stance. His small size makes it look more cute than menacing.

Rapidash lowers it’s head in preparation to charge.

>Metronome!
>Amnesia, get that special defense up!
>Focus Punch, that’ll ring its bell!

>Gobble slams his fist into his hand, then makes a sumo stance. His small size makes it look more cute than menacing.

Is it bad that I don't ever want Gobble to evolve? Snorlax is grrat, but Munchlax is significantly significantly better.

>Focus Punch, that’ll ring its bell!

Punch the ground once it starts its charge. Trying to outspeed a Rapidash is pointless, so let's make it so it doesn't have room to even use its speed. This should also minimize the chances of it interrupting our punch.

>>1177041
Never mind, I'm slow.

>>1177041
Nah senpai, Snorlax is amazing

>>1177058
But Munchlax is too adorable. And he's compact enough for us to pick him up.

>>1177065
>Pick him up
I didn't realize Herb was a strong man

>>1177065
but Snorlax is big enough to use him as a mattress.

>>1177065
herb is not Laki

>>1177074
>>1177074
also suitlax

>>1177065
He's like 200 pounds or more, only Laki could do that.

>>1177065
>231 lbs

>>1177069
>>1177077

I don't think Gobble has been strictly following the official weight. I'm reasonably sure Gobble has fallen asleep lying on top of someone, and they didn't immediately die.

>>1177074
A compelling point, but I still like Munchlax more.

>>1177092
By my estimations munchlax is about as dense as tar, given a weight of 231 lbs.

>>1177146
But he's much more cuddly than tar.

>>1177151
Less likely to leave you all sticky as well.

>>1177158
See? He's perfect just the way he is.

“Poison Jab! Let’s take a bite out of that staying power Munchlax’s have!”

He’s not just blindly attacking in his passion. He’s smart. The fire horse points it’s horn and charges. Gobble is hit hard and poisoned. You’re glad you’ve been feeding him well during training and working on defenses, because on any other pokemon, that would probably do more damage.

It’s your turn. “Gobble, counter with Metronome!”

Gobble flicks his fingers, wiggles them, then looks confused and worried as energy gathers all around him.

“What move is that?” You hear an observer say.

Rapidash takes a step back.

Then Gobble Explodes! The wood platform cracks into a thousand pieces and flies in different directions. Rapidash flies off of it and smacks into the cliff-side, kicking and panicking. The fire Priest holds an arm over his face to shield from splinters as he retrieves his pokemon.

Your heart falls into your stomach from worry before you spot Gobble. He’s on a bit of platform that’s crashing down. You quickly retrieve the poor, fainted, Munchlax.

You feel a slight aura of disapproval from the crowd. You’re not sure why. Nobody is calling you names or anything, it just feels like you’re losing everyone after the great display Mace gave earlier. You definitely weren’t hoping for a move like that, but you’re still impressed with the power of it.

“Good job, Gobble. Sorry your time was so short.” You try to sound optimistic. That wasn't exactly lucky.

The only part left is the more indoor-ish area of the temple. The explosion took off a lot of the top of that, though.

>Send Belladonna

Well, that was to be expected. Plus side, that Rapidash is almost certainly on the way to getting knocked out.

>>1177187

As much as I want to see Bella use water sport, with harsh sunlight up, I don't think that'd be enough.

Jane gives you a funny, scary look. It feels like she’s pressuring you or something. She’s got a strong presence sometimes.

The Fire Priest throws out his pokemon at the same time as you. He hasn’t said anything about the Explosion.

“Go, Dice!”

“Go, Quilava!”

The furry little ferret quickly finds cover inside the remaining building. Even with all the damage and windows removed, there are places it can hide. You can clearly see Dice though, and he’s wandering in to find his opponent.

The fire licks around the edges. He might be waiting you out. Or he might be luring you into thinking that so he can pounce.

>Use Rage. Maybe it’ll attack.
>Water Gun where you think it’s hiding.
>Use Scary Face. Wherever it is, it’s probably watching.
>Use Leer. It must be watching.

They can't seriously be pissed over a move that randomly triggered a move.

>>1177318
>Water gun where you think it's hiding.

May as well try and knock out a few spots even if we don't hit it.

>>1177352
I don't think they know what metronome does.

“Inferno! Let it feel your burning passion!!”

As it comes out of it’s hiding spot and unleashes flaming hot heck, Dice casually bends backwards and completely avoids it. A huge gout of flame crashes against the cliff side near you. Wow, despite being so far, you still feel the warmth.

“Scary Face! Don’t let it use it’s speed to get away!”

It freezes as it sees the terrifying look Dice gives. You can’t see it from this angle, but it must be a good one. Quilava doesn’t even try to run back to cover now. It’s caught completely out in the open.

Yeah, into the water.

>>1177480
>Water Gun, now!

Really tempted to go for the bite, but we already kind of had a brutish match, and dunked them in the water with a chomp would probably not go over too hot.

>>1177480
>Bite and run it through the thin, damaged wall and over the edge

>>1177480

We've got it right where we want it. Let's try and finish things quickly. This gym scares me.

>>1177480
>Bite and run it through the thin, damaged wall and over the edge

>>1177480
>Water gun, now!

>>1177480

>>1177512
Waterfall could be nice.

>Bite and run it through the thin, damaged wall and over the edge

>>1177512
Our options are fairly limited
Aqua Jet, Aqua Tail, Dive, Waterfall

the few other physical moves, we'd have to seduce Gobble with many offerings of butts and quality rolls.

Maybe a modified version of Clamp?

>>1177534
All better than Water Gun for Totodile. We even got Sheer Force for Waterfall.
