Jake was glad to see the Weedle crash on top of the Togedemaru. Of course nothing against them, but as everyone could soon see, it meant a victory for him.

Jake pulled out Staravia and Gengar's Pokéballs. "Good battle!" he called to Eddie as he recalled his Pokémon. "You battled well, too!"

With that, both Trainers returned to their waiting rooms. Jake placed the Pokéballs containing his tired Pokémon on the healing machine, before collapsing on the couch and heartily chugging a bottle of water. "Ah, refreshing."

A few minutes later, just as the healing machine dinged, signaling that his Pokémon were fully healed, a voice came over his loudspeaker, calling him to his next round battle.

"I won't be late!" Jake assured the speaker, although he knew that they couldn't hear him. He put down his water and hopped off the couch, grabbing his Pokéballs off the healing machine. The ready Trainer walked out of the waiting room and closed the door, before heading for the arena.

The Trainer opposite Jake was a girl named Terri Alph, who apparently lived right at Sludge Wave Coast too! How many people lived here anyway? Terri sent out a Morelull named Increase and a Bronzor named XXXXX.

"Let's do this, Staravia and Gengar!" announced Jake, sending out the two from their Pokéballs. They each appeared with a flash of light.

"We'll see about that," Jake replied to Terri. "I suppose I'll take the initiative this time—Gengar, Will-O-Wisp on Bronzor! Staravia, Heat Wave on them both!"

"Genga Genga Gengar!" the Ghost- and Poison-type chattered excitedly, shooting orbs of blue fire out of her mouth and at XXXXX. Staravia quickly followed by flapping his wings harder, igniting the air and generating a fiery blaze that sped towards the opponents, powering up the burn-causing move along the way.

"And as we saw in the first round, Terri's using her Morelull and Bronzor, and they're up against Jake's Staravia and Gengar!" Gavin announced. "Going by type matchups alone, Jake would seem to have the advantage, but as we've seen here before, sometimes type matchups don't mean shit! And Terri's no slouch as a Trainer, either- this is sure to be one hell of a battle!"

Terri gave a mysterious smile as Jake ordered a pair of Fire moves. "Increase, use Growth," she said. "XXXXX, shield Increase, and use Imprison."

"BRON ZOR," droned XXXXX, floating out in front of the Morelull. Not only did it take the Will-O-Wisp aimed at it in the first place, but also the entirety of the Heat Wave. And if being burned and bombarded by a super effective hit bothered the Bronzor any, it hid its discomfort well. Instead, its eyes flashed for a moment, sealing off any moves from the opponents that XXXXX itself also knew. Meanwhile, Increase's size began to... well, to increase. She started growing. Just a little bit, but what was growing even more was her power.

And Terri knew this, too, and decided it was time to go on the offensive. "Now! XXXXX, use Shadow Ball on Gengar! Increase, use Energy Ball on Staravia!" she commanded.

"BRON ZOR," droned XXXXX, charging up a sinister spectral sphere before it, and firing it off towards Gengar.

"Mooooooor...lull!" squeaked Increase, charging up a much greener ball before her, this one flying in Staravia's direction.


(just for easy reference, here's all of XXXXX's attacks so you know which ones are off-limits due to Imprison; Tackle, Confusion, Psyshock, Hypnosis, Imprison, Ancient Power, Shadow Ball, Confuse Ray, Payback, Psywave, Gyro Ball, Signal Beam, and Aura Sphere.)

"That's a tough Bronzor!" Jake remarked after seeing it take both Staravia and Gengar's moves. "Imprison, huh...too bad that won't stop my original plan!"

The Morelull used Growth followed by an Energy Ball, aimed at Staravia. The Bronzor then fired a Shadow Ball at Gengar.

"I didn't bring a Normal-type and a Ghost-type for nothing!" Jake declared. "Staravia, use Double Team and fly into that Shadow Ball! Gengar, use Haze!"

The Energy Ball hit Staravia, but that one just disappeared. Staravia's Double Team was working! The real Staravia appeared in front of Gengar and rammed right into XXXXX's Shadow Ball, taking no damage due to his Normal type. Gengar slid behind Staravia and released a Haze, covering the entire battlefield in a dense smoke-like gas. Increase would see her stat boosts go bye-bye, as Haze reset all stat changes.

"Now, Gengar, Hex on the Bronzor! Staravia, just use Heat Wave again!" Jake ordered his Pokémon.

And with that, Gengar's eyes glowed a sinister purple. The Bronzor was surrounded by the same purple and squeezed under the confines of the attack. Hex would do double damage on XXXXX, since it was burned. Couple that with the fact that Ghost-type moves were super effective on Psychic-types, and the Bronze Pokémon would be taking a whole lot of damage.
Staravia, once again, flapped his wings harder and sent a hot wind of fire at the opposing Pokémon.

"And Bronzor goes for Imprison!" Gavin was saying. "We've seen that Bronzor here before, we know some of the moves it can do, it just might have fucked Gengar over royally here!"

Alas, Gavin was mistaken- Shadow Ball was not Gengar's only option. Not even her best option in this given scenario, as Terri quickly learned. Not only did Energy Ball merely hit a Double Team copy of Staravia, but Gengar had let loose a Hex attack! The only upside here was that Haze affected everyone in the battle, allies included- the remaining Double Team copies of Staravia surely wouldn't survive the Ice move.

Terri, however, wasn't to be deterred by Hex. "Use Payback!" she called.

"ZOOOOOOOOOOOOR," droned the Bronzor. The Hex landed, sending it spinning. However, a dark aura intensified all over its body and it increased the speed of its spinning, and hurtled through the air, ramming into Gengar for increased damage. Mitigated somewhat by the burn's effects, of course, but that seemed to be the one aspect of the burn that was having much of any kind of effect on XXXXX's mysterious Heatproof body.

"Switch targets!" Terri called to her Pokémon. "XXXXX, now use Aura Sphere on Staravia!"

"BRON ZOR," droned XXXXX, now charging up a brilliant blue ball of its own aura and firing it at Staravia. No amount of acrobatic dodging or Double Team usage would spare Staravia from this one!

"And Increase, your time has come," Terri added with an encouraging smile to the Morelull.

"Mor," nodded Increase. She knew exactly what Terri was talking about. The subject had come up earlier- she was ready to do this, both mentally and in terms of experience points. It was, in fact, largely why she was so insistent on participating in this Colosseum challenge alongside XXXXX- for that final push. And this, surely, was that final push.

It started with the mushrooms. At first, nothing seemed too off- a Morelull's mushrooms glowing, that was to be expected. But the glowing didn't stop there, quickly overtaking Increase's entire body. Once more, she started to grow, but no Haze would reset what was happening here. Two of the mushrooms vanished, their stems moving down, growing out, sprouting long, thin fingers. The remaining mushroom, however, bloomed out in every direction, becoming large and impressive, like a fungal umbrella above the head of the freshly-evolved !

"That's some good shit right there- Terri's Morelull has just evolved into a Shiinotic before our very eyes!" Gavin grinned.'

Terri gestured to the Gengar. "Use Sleep Powder!" she commanded.

"Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" trilled Increase, letting loose a cloud of blue dust that would surely send the Ghost/Poison-type straight to sleep.

Soon after taking Gengar's Hex, XXXXX the Bronzor spun around quickly, moving in for a Payback on Gengar.

"You know what to do!" Jake called to Gengar. "Reflect Type on Morelull, let's go!"

"Gen gaaa!" cried Gengar, taking the Payback attack. Now, though, it was resisted, as Gengar wasn't Ghost/Poison anymore. She had taken on the typing of Increase—Grass and Fairy!

Meanwhile, Staravia took matters into his own hands, or rather, wings? talons? Point is, he met the Aura Sphere Bronzor shot with a Wing Attack, slicing through the ball move. If you can't dodge, why not counterattack?

Suddenly, everyone in the arena would be astonished to see Increase evolve into a Shiinotic! After that was done, she released a Sleep Powder at Gengar...which did absolutely nothing. That was another aspect of Gengar's new Grass/Fairy typing—she was immune to powder moves now.

Despite the opposing Morelull's evolution, Jake was determined to finish this. "Staravia, Quick Wing on the Shiinotic, now! Gengar, use Hex again on Bronzor!"

"Staraviaaa!" cried the Starling Pokémon. His wings glowed bright blue and he sped towards Increase, combining Quick Attack and Wing Attack. This would let him hit his mark before they could react, and with a super effective hit, too!
Gengar unleashed her Hex attack again, on XXXXX. Surely even a sturdy Pokémon as Bronzor couldn't survive two 130-power super effective attacks for long—especially with the burn.
(I do know what Heatproof does, it's just that burn still does damage on a Pokémon with Heatproof, albeit half as much.)

Truly, Jake had made a brilliant move here. Not only was Payback a resisted hit now, but Increase's Sleep Powder had no effect since Gengar was now a Grass-type! "Daaaamn, that was a good move by Jake and Gengar!" Gavin exclaimed. "With just one move, they gained a resistance to Payback and an immunity to Sleep Powder all at once!" The crowd was roaring their approval here, and even Terri looked mildly impressed, though no less determined. Even as Quick Attack and Hex hit their respective targets, and for major damage. "Critical hit!" Gavin called out as Increase seemed to take especially large damage from Staravia's innovative combination attack. "Shiinotic is not looking too good out there, and even that Bronzor doesn't look like it's in this for much longer."

"It's not over until it's over," Terri said simply. "Increase, XXXXX, can you both still fight?"

"Shiinoooootic!" nodded Increase.

"BRON ZOR," nodded XXXXX.

"Then let's keep going!" Terri declared. "Increase, use Confuse Ray on Staravia!"

"Shiiiii!" responded Increase, pointing a single curiously glowing finger at the Normal/Flying-type.

"And XXXXX... let's get ready!" Terri declared, crossing her arms before her. This activated the Psychium Z set into her Z-Power Ring, and vibrant Z-Power started to be generated.

"ZOOOOOOR," XXXXX droned intensely.

"And Terri and her Bronzor are gearing up for a Z-Move!" grinned Gavin. "Even backed against a wall, they refuse to go down so easily!"

"Find your strength and yield to nobody!" Terri was saying as she moved her arms. "Makr our minds join! Increase our power and direct it to our enemies!" As she finished saying this, she concluded the poses, the poses which sent large quantities of Z-Power flooding into the Bronzor.

"BROOOOON ZOOOOOOR," droned XXXXX. Though its voice was the same mechanical monotone as ever, there was a definite increase in intensity to it as it felt its Psyshock getting powered up into something far stronger. Even if it would no longer be super effective, Gengar was in for a hard hit nonetheless.

Terri grinned. "Now perform- Shattered Psyche!!!"

While the opponents did take large damage, they weren't out just yet. Increase the Shiinotic used Confuse Ray on Staravia, disorienting him.

"Oh, no!" Jake cried upon seeing the Normal- and Flying-type confused. "Staravia, you'd better try your best! Wing Attack on Shiinotic, can you do that?"

Unfortunately, Staravia was hit with the worst that confusion could do. He fell to the ground, kicking up a bit of dust. That's gotta hurt, Jake winced. "Staravia, you gotta try another Wing Attack on Shiinotic, come on!"

Thankfully, the confusion was short-lived. Staravia soon got back up and shook himself off, free of the confusion.
(I'd show you the RNG numbers, but I forgot to take screenshots.) He took to the air once again and barely managed to hit the top of the Illuminating Pokémon's head before Terri and XXXXX started up their Z-Move. Staravia quickly rushed back to safety and watched as Gengar was hit by the full force of the Shattered Psyche—but not before Jake commanded a Reflect Type on Bronzor. Just in time, Gengar became Steel- and Psychic-type, and used her new types to resist the Z-Move. She only took 1/4 of the damage, and came out quite battered, though nowhere as much as she would have been if she hadn't used that Reflect Type.

"Gengar, you okay?" Jake asked.

"Gengar," replied Gengar. I'm fine, if fine means being hit by a sharp Z-Move that only your type protects against.

"Phew," Jake managed. "Gengar, use Hex! And you know who!"

Following Jake's somewhat vague orders, Gengar used Hex again, on the Bronzor, with all her might.

"And Staravia, let's heat things up with your hot windy wave!" added the Aura Guardian.

"Staaar!" Staravia cried, flapping his wings as hard as he could and blasting the opponents with his Heat Wave.

For a moment, Terri almost seemed as though she would start turning the battle around- Staravia was confused and hurting itself, and Gengar was on the business end of their Z-Move! But Jake wasn't about to just let it happen without taking some form of precaution, and this entailed a second use of Reflect Type- this time, on the Bronzor! Terri's confident smile faded as she realized the Shattered Psyche was now massively resisted.

"And Jake defends against Shattered Psyche by having Gengar change types yet again!" declared Gavin. "Some quick thinking with Reflect Type and that Z-Move barely did shit!"

Moreover, Staravia managed to snap out of the confusion very quickly, and Jake had his Pokémon fight back, Staravia with a Heat Wave, and Gengar with a Hex. Terri opened her mouth to give more commands, but before she could say anything more than "XXXXX, use-", both of her Pokémon collapsed in a heap. The Heat Wave had finished off Increase, and while XXXXX took damage from it, it was lessened by Heatproof; the Hex, however, finished the job.

"Shiinotic and Bronzor are both unable to battle!" Gavin declared. "That's both of Terri's Pokémon defeated, so victory goes to Jake!" The crowd erupted in cheers, wowed by Jake's battle, his skillful use of Reflect Type, everything. Even those who had been cheering for Terri were applauding the great battle. The Froslass in the crowd looked rather dejected, however.

Following this, Jake was once again led back to his waiting room. He could heal up Gengar and Staravia, sit down and relax, drink some water, and he had plenty of time to do so before he was called back to the battlefield for his semifinal match.


"Fuck yeah! Semifinals!" Gavin was exclaiming into the microphone amid the crowd's cheering. "I hope you're all ready for some fucking awesome battles, cuz sure as shit you're getting them!!" The crowd cheered uproariously in response as Jake and his opponent made their way out onto the battlefield. "To my left, the Sludge Wave Colosseum newcomer whose skilled and resourceful battle style has friggin' earned him his place in the semifinals- give it up for Jake Celeste from Pastoria City!" The crowd cheered wildly for Jake, with some people even chanting his name- it was clear his battling thus far had earned him some fans.

"And to my right, a fellow Sludge Wave Coast resident, the unstoppable Ace Trainer who absolutely crushed her first two battles, give it up for Willa Carnet from Kiloude City!" More wild cheering as Willa walked onto her side of the battlefield, allowing herself a small smile as she saw Jake on the opposite end. "Get yourselves ready for one hell of a Pokémon fight, ladies and gentlemen! And you two obviously oughta know the rules by now, so... let the battle begin!"

"It seems we're having our rematch, then," Willa stated. "And I intend to win!" With that, she wordlessly threw a pair of Ultra Balls, from which emerged an Absol and an Eelektross. The Dark-type and the Electric-type stood side by side (hovered, in Eelektross's case), ready for action.

As Jake was applauded for his victory, he clapped too. "Thanks," he said. "And Terri, you battled well. Increase's evolution was unexpected, but at the same time, she was pretty powerful as a Morelull."

Soon, both Trainers returned to their waiting rooms. Jake patted his Pokéballs and placed them on the healing machine, before gulping down the rest of his bottle of water. He relaxed on the couch for a bit.

~~~

A few minutes later, Jake was ready for his semifinal battle. He picked up his Pokéballs and started to head out the door just as the speaker called him to his next battle.

Opposite Jake was none other than Keith's girlfriend Willa. She sent out an Absol and an Eelektross. Right away, Jake could tell these were going to be some tough opponents.

Jake sent out his Pokémon. "Give it all you got, guys!"

"Staravia!" Jake's oddly colored Starling Pokémon appeared with a mighty battle cry.

"Gengaaa!" Jake's Gengar materialized, giving a somewhat comical evil laugh.

"Let's begin!" Jake announced. "Gengar, use Curse on Eelektross! Staravia, use Quick Attack on Absol! Go!" He winked at Staravia.

Jake's Pokémon acted quickly. Gengar produced a translucent pin and poked it into her ghostly body, and Eelektross was surrounded by dark purple flames. There was no way to dodge this move. Now the EleFish Pokémon would lose a quarter of his HP every turn, in exchange for half of Gengar's own HP.
Staravia, meanwhile, flew speedily toward the Disaster Pokémon, intent on striking in the blink of an eye. He took a detour, however—soaring high into the sky and only starting to descend once he was behind Absol. If the Dark-type turned around, she would see multiple Staravia heading toward her—a team of doubles.

(Eheheh, whoops! I had meant to have Terri say something along these lines to Jake in my last post, and it slipped my mind. I promise she's not rude.)

Terri had nodded and smiled in response to Jake. "We enjoyed the battle," she had said. "Your Pokémon are remarkable, I hope we can battle again someday."

Back to the battle with Willa, Staravia and Gengar were off to a strong start. Gengar especially, using a potent move to halve its own health in exchange for getting to steadily drain Eelektross of its own. And Staravia was closing in fast on Absol. Except when it unexpectedly flew up, and started to fly in from behind, having used Double Team, no doubt to confuse Absol should it turn to look. "Detect!" Willa commanded.

"Ab! Sol!" grunted Absol. A gleam in her eye, the Disaster Pokémon would almost supernaturally move to avoid whichever Staravia was the real Staravia.

"A smart move by Willa, Absol using Detect to evade one hell of a Quick Attack!" Gavin was remarking. "Eelektross, meanwhile, is on a timer thanks to that Curse, and had better well act fast if it hopes to get anything done!"

Now Willa gestured towards Gengar. "Eelektross! Ominous Wind!" she commanded. "Absol, once they've gotten past you, use Blizzard!"

"Trrrrross!" crackled Eelektross, letting fly a gust of sinister air right at Gengar. Absol merely gave a nod as she readied to evade the Quick Attack, intent on blasting anything that flew past with a howling snowstorm.

Absol managed to avoid Staravia's Quick Attack with Detect, and blew a Blizzard towards the Staravia copies. Eelektross used a Ghost-type move that was aimed at Gengar. She, however, was ready for it, and so was Jake.

"Gengar, dodge and use Poison Gas!" Jake called, prompting Gengar to dodge the Ominous Wind. She floated higher and blasted out a cloud of foul, poisonous odor at both opponents that would poison if it hit.

"And Staravia, counter the Blizzard with Heat Wave!" Jake ordered. Immediately Staravia flapped his wings harder like he'd done several times before, and directed the Heat Wave into the Blizzard. They evened out, but Staravia and his Double Team copies simply flew to another spot and generated another Heat Wave.

"Let's keep going!" Jake commanded Gengar. "Use a Hypno Shade on Absol! If it's poisoned, do it on Eelektross instead!"

"Gengar Gengar," said the Ghost- and Poison-type. She emanated ghostly rings of energy from her body, while at the same time using that Night Shade to carry a Hypnosis attack. Both Night Shade and Hypnosis were relatively "wide" moves, so it would be harder for Absol (or Eelektross, depending on if they get poisoned) to keep awake or avoid getting damaged from a combination of them.

"Once again, we see Heat Wave countering Blizzard!" Gavin exclaimed. "And Gengar floats above that Ominous Wind and is letting loose Poison Gas!"

"Up, Eelektross!" Willa exclaimed sharply.

"Trrross!" exclaimed Eelektross, zipping up into the air and flying above the Poison Gas- Gengar wasn't the only one there with Levitate, after all! Eelektross rose above Gengar, all set.

Willa grinned. "Now use Gastro Acid!" she called out.

"Trrrross!" replied Eelektross, spewing a disgusting fluid onto Gengar before she could unleash her Hypnosis/Night Shade combination move.

Willa turned her attention back to Absol, who was about to be on the business end of another Heat Wave. "Counter with Blizzard and follow up with Icy Wind!" Willa commanded.

"SOL!" Absol exclaimed, letting loose another Blizzard. The idea was that once this neutralized the Heat Wave, Absol could quickly let loose an Icy Wind to slow both enemies down.

But Willa couldn't be content with Gengar losing its Ability- even if it couldn't float around anymore, it could still conceivably unleash its combination attack once it righted itself. "Eelektross! Thunderbolt!" she ordered.

"Trrrrrrrosss!" crackled Eelektross, hurling a sizzling bolt of lightning towards the grounded Gengar.

As Eelektross dodged Poison Gas and used Gastro Acid, Jake acted quickly, anticipating the attack. "Psychic, now!" he ordered sharply.

Quick as a flash, Gengar stopped her Hypno Shade and took control of the Ability-neutralizing fluid. She used her Psychic power to direct it back towards Eelektross in a forceful, pressurized jet.

"And Staravia, all I have to say to you is HEAT WAVE!" Jake yelled. "Never let up!"

"Staraviaaa!" cried the Normal- and Flying-type, flapping his wings as hard as he could. Amazingly, the Heat Wave absorbed both the Blizzard and the Icy Wind, and after a bit of obstruction, continued heading for the opposing team. Although Staravia could keep it going for a few more seconds at least, he'd be incredibly drained later (read: after the battle), so Jake knew he'd have to watch out.

Meanwhile, Eelektross quickly launched a Thunderbolt towards Gengar. For a split second, the idea of using Reflect Type crossed Jake's mind, but then he decided, Nah. He'd save it for later as a sort of secret weapon. "Gengar, use Psychic again!" he called.

"Gen gaar!" yelled the Pokémon whose Category was Shadow. A Psychic glow soon surrounded the Thunderbolt, and it turned around in the shape of a snake to swallow Eelektross. That Curse has got to be coming into effect by now, Jake thought.

"Dodge that!" Willa called sharply to Eelektross, who was able to narrowly evade his own attack sent flying back at him. As Eelektross did so, however, he winced as the Curse continued to take its toll. Willa gritted her teeth- Eelektross wasn't gonna be in this for much longer, and at this rate they might not even get to land a hit on Gengar, let alone win!

"Gengar's skill with Psychic is showing here," Gavin was saying. "It's repelled both Gastro Acid, and it's looking to do so with Thunderbolt, too!"

"Absol, Me First!" Willa called out, pointing to Gengar.

"Sol!" Absol exclaimed. Her Ice moves weren't stopping Heat Wave, and while she was taking definite damage from that, she let loose waves of psychic energy from her horn, with the intent of combating Gengar's Psychic, interfering with its attempts to redirect Thunderbolt. Whether this meant simply cancelling out the Psychic so Thunderbolt would hit Gengar or outright overpowering it so both attacks ended up hitting Gengar remained to be seen (but considering Me First copies attacks with more power than they usually have, the second one was certainly within the realm of possibility!).

Either way, Willa knew she had to do something, and fast- Eelektross was absolutely not in this for much longer. "Absol, Detect! Eelektross, Discharge!" she commanded.

"SOL!" Absol grunted, a gleam in its eye alread.

"Trr-rrr-rross!!!" Eelektross bellowed, letting loose bolts of electricity in all directions, an unavoidable electrical onslaught. Absol, of course, was able to deftly avoid damage because of Detect, but Gengar and Staravia, would they be that lucky?

And Absol helped out with a Me First! It seemed that Jake would have to command his secret weapon early—or not? "Gengar, use Poison Gas!" he ordered.

Gengar made like an Octillery, quickly spouting an opaque gas that was so disgusting it could poison. When it cleared, she was...gone? Not quite. She was floating high above the scene, having used the distraction to escape. At that moment, she used a new move.

Everyone watched as Gengar beckoned to Absol, before Taunting the Dark-type. Gengar pulled on her own eyes to make a "ha ha, I'm better than you" face, and stuck out her tongue.

Wow, you learned a new move, Taunt! Jake thought.

Then, Willa had Eelektross use Discharge and Absol use Detect, but because of the Taunt, Absol couldn't execute the status move.

"Gengar, Reflect Type!" Jake called. "On Eelektross, quick!"

With that, Gengar changed type so that she resisted Discharge. However, the damage she racked up was dangerous, because of her earlier Curse. She might only be able to survive one or two more attacks.

"Staravia, use Double Team!" Jake added, to which Staravia responded by following the order. He created several clones of himself, which the Discharge hit and completely annihilated. At least the real one was safe...Staravia had used the copies as a distraction, much like Gengar with Poison Gas. The Starling Pokémon appeared behind Absol and Eelektross afterwards.

"Quick Attack on Absol!" Jake snapped, ready to go all-out.

Quiet as a Noctowl in the dead of night, Staravia zipped toward the back of the unsuspecting Disaster Pokémon.

"And Gengar uses Poison Gas as a makeshift Smokescreen!" Gavin exclaimed. "And oh, shit, it seems like it's even learned a new move- Absol's not liking that Taunt!"

"No!" Willa exclaimed, but too late- Eelektross let loose the Discharge. Not only did Gengar suddenly resist it, but Absol was too pissed off to even defend against it! However, something seemed to occur to her very quickly. "Eelektross, use Drain Punch!" she commanded.

"A clever move by Willa- staving off the inevitable by recovering lost health with Drain Punch!" Gavin remarked, as Eelektross sped off towards Gengar. No longer immune to Fighting, and in fact, incapable of changing its type again to even so much as resist the type, Eelektross knew this was gonna hurt. And hopefully heal himself up a decent amount, too, for that matter.

Absol, meanwhile, was struck by a Quick Attack from behind- Staravia had managed to evade Discharge with Double Team. "Ab! Sol!" she grunted, seething with unnatural fury by this point, the Taunt still screwing with her mind.

But right now, Willa was ready to work with that. She crossed her arms before her, and her Icium Z started giving off Z-Power. "Absol, off we go!" she declared.

"ABSOL!" thundered Absol in response. A Z-Move? That was just fine with her.

"Feel the chill... as we aim for the top..." Willa breathed as she went through the Icium Z poses. "As we stop at nothing to reach the coldest, highest pinnacle!"

"SOOOOOL!" howled Absol as the Z-Power flowed into her. The Dark-type might have been pissed at Gengar, but right now, that Staravia was her target. No amount of evasive maneuvers would spare it, not from a Z-Move. This wasn't merely some Blizzard- this was Blizzard powered up, turned into something far stronger.

Willa was unable to conceal the grin of pure enjoyment on her face. "Go... Subzero Slammer!!!" she commanded.

"Dodge that Drain Punch, Gengar!" Jake called. And dodge she did—Gengar swiftly flew out of the way of the Fighting-type move, recognizing the danger. She was no longer Ghost-type, after all.

Jake watched as Willa and Absol performed a Z-Move, much like Terri did with her Bronzor. Suddenly, he had an idea.

"We won't be going down without a fight!" Jake shouted defiantly, as the opponents powered up. And as Absol was getting ready to attack, the young Trainer yelled, "Gengar, take the attack for Staravia! And use Shadow Punch on the eel while you're at it!" Jake had to be quick.

"Gengaaa!" cried Gengar, ready to make a last stand. She stood between Staravia and the Subzero Slammer and quickly slammed her left fist into the ground. Right before the Z-Move enveloped her, an unavoidable spectral fist sprang up from the ground under Eelektross, striking it. Combined with the Curse, it was very likely that that would knock out the EleFish Pokémon.

But as for Jake's Gengar, she couldn't possibly withstand such a strong attack with so little health left herself. When the massive snowstorm cleared, she was sprawled on the ground, unconscious.

Jake took out Gengar's Pokéball and zapped her back in. "You did very well, Gengar," Jake whispered to the Pokéball. "You fought valiantly, and I'm sure Staravia will agree that he owes you."

With that, he put the Pokéball back into the pocket and looked back at the battle. "Staravia, let's make sure that Gengar's efforts were not in vain!" he called. "Use Roost to heal up, before going in for a Quick Wing on Absol!"

"Star!" Staravia agreed. Surrounded by glowing feathers, the Starling Pokémon settled down on the ground, losing his Flying-type temporarily. His body glowed with a bright blue light, healing any injuries that he had, not that he had any. Then, he took to the air, regaining the Flying-type. His wings glowed a similar bright blue, almost white, as he sped toward Absol. A white streak was left by the uniquely colored bird Pokémon as he flew, a result of his blinding speed right now, and as he got closer, he began to spin like a drill, making his move even stronger.

Jake was quick to act. There was no way Staravia could avoid the Subzero Slammer, and he knew this... unless, of course, someone else were to take the attack in its stead. And Gengar rose to the occasion, while also landing a powerful Shadow Punch on Eelektross. Between that, the Curse, and the fact that the Drain Punch hadn't actually landed, it was all too much for the EleFish Pokémon to take.

"Ooh! Down and out! Eelektross is unable to battle!" Gavin declared. "It's two against one, but with that powerful Z-Move brewing, I don't think it'll stay that way for too long!" And sure enough, once the Ice-type Z-Move had subsided, Gengar, too, had fainted. "Yep, there it is- Gengar is also unable to battle!" Gavin exclaimed. "It's just one on one, now- Staravia vs. Absol!"

Willa wordlessly withdrew Eelektross, allowing a small smile as she murmured to the Ultra Ball in her hand. "You fought very well," she whispered. "Now take a good rest."

"And now Staravia's starting to Roost," Gavin remarked. "Which begs the question, why? I don't think it's lost so much as a single damn hit point so far."

"I bet I know," Willa murmured. Roost temporarily removed the user's Flying-type designation, so while the Starling Pokémon was a sitting Ducklett for any oncoming moves at the moment, Absol's Ice moves weren't gonna have their usual impact. On the other hand, however, a stronger move of Absol's was going to have even more of an impact than usual. "Use Megahorn!" Willa commanded.

"SOL!" roared Absol, charging forward, her horn glowing with intense green energy as it rammed into an opponent who, for the moment, did not resist Bug. Then came the combination of Quick Attack and Wing Attack, complete with spinning for extra strength.

Willa was sure the Taunt hadn't yet worn off, and therefore Detect was out of the question; there was no other approach than meeting it head-on. "Blizzard!" she commanded.

"AaaaabSOOOOOOL!" bellowed Absol, unleashing a howling snowstorm from her mouth at the oncoming Staravia. Now that it was weak to Ice once more, this was sure to do a lot. On top of that, Willa sincerely doubted Staravia would be able to stop its current attack in time to get a Heat Wave going.

As he Roosted, Staravia could only brace for impact when the Megahorn hit. Fortunately, the little nest of feathers surrounding him helped to soften the blow a bit. The Megahorn also gave Staravia enough momentum to boost him right into the air. As he approached, using his Quick Attack-Wing Attack combination, his spinning repelled the air around him to make a sort of an air cushion. That barrier of air allowed him to cut right through the Blizzard like a Sharpedo through water. Plus, he wouldn't take as much damage from the Blizzard as usual, thanks to that cushion of air. The air repelled the freezing wind, since movement through air creates friction, and friction creates heat. In short, Staravia shot through the Blizzard with his Quick Wing like a bullet, probably (and preferably) hitting Absol straight on.

"Good job, Staravia!" Jake called. "Now fly up, use Double Team, and follow with a Heat Wave!"

"Starrravia!" trilled the Normal- and Flying-type, flying towards the roof. About three feet below the roof, he stopped, and Double Team copies rippled out from him. They all flapped their wings fiercely, to send a menacing Heat Wave towards Absol.

"Ooh!" Gavin exclaimed as Staravia's Quick Wing landed. "That's a critical hit right there! Staravia cut right through that Blizzard like a knife through extremely frigid butter! Hell, better than that, even- you ever try cutting cold butter? Fucking sucks."

Willa gritted her teeth- Staravia had them backed into a corner, and it was now letting loose another Heat Wave. "Block it with Razor Wind!" she exclaimed.

"Sol... Sol..." panted Absol. Still, she slashed the air with her horn to whip up a whirlwind before her, in the hopes of deflecting the Heat Wave. But, Absol was too tired to do so quickly enough, and she took the full force of the Heat Wave, collapsing to the ground.

"Absol is unable to battle!" Gavin exclaimed. "That's both of Willa's Pokémon defeated,so Jake is moving on to the finals!" The crowd cheered wildly following this.

"You battled well, Absol," Willa murmured to the Ultra Ball once the Dark-type was back in it. "Thank you." She nodded to Jake. "Well-fought," she stated. "I hope we can battle again sometime."

After this, Jake was brought back to his waiting room one last time. He was given enough time to heal Gengar and Staravia, drink some water, rest up, mentally prepare... and finally, he was called back out to the battlefield for the finals.


"This! Is! It!!" Gavin exclaimed as the Trainers filed in. "Whoever wins this will win today's Colosseum challenge, so what the heck am I even waiting for?! On my left, we have the newcomer sensation whose quick thinking and resourcefulness have friggin' earned him a spot in the finals- Jake Celeste from Pastoria City!" More people than before were cheering for Jake- even those intent on cheering for his opponent were just excited to see the battle he'd wage.

"And on my right!" Gavin continued. "The founder of Sludge Wave Coast itself, the Poison-type master hailing from Hoenn, birthplace of the double battle! Give it up for Keith Masters from Lavaridge Town!" And sure enough, Keith was stepping onto the opposite end of the battlefield, adjusting the brim of his Mega Hat, grinning as the crowd cheered for him just as much as they'd cheered for Jake. "You don't wanna hear me blathering on much longer, though," said Gavin, "so without further ado, let the final! Battle! BEGIN!!!"

"Heh. Wow, you got the crowd worked up," Keith grinned. "Must have shown them some good battles. And if that's the case, you better keep that up!" he added, producing an Ultra Ball and a Premier Ball. "Melittin, Eon, here we go!" he exclaimed, sending out a Beedrill from the Ultra Ball and a Shiny Eevee from the Premier Ball, the latter sparkling as she appeared.

Jake nodded back at Willa. "Your Pokémon were no slouch, either," he admitted. "Yeah, I look forward to when we can have a rematch."

After the battle, Jake collapsed on the couch first thing. Today's battles had exhausted him as much as they did his Pokémon. He placed his Pokéballs on the healing machine.

After a few minutes, they dinged, and Jake took his Pokéballs back. He was ready for the finals.

~~~

"Good luck to you, Keith!" Jake called. "Gengar and Staravia, go!" He called out his Pokémon, which appeared with a bright flash. They were as ready as Jake was.

"I can't wait to start!" Jake exclaimed. "Gengar, Taunt on Eevee, now! Staravia, unleash your Quick Wing combo on Beedrill!"

The battle began! Gengar made taunting faces as before, which was sure to enrage the Eevee enough to make it only use attacking moves. Staravia rushed in on the Beedrill for the combination move that had worked so well before, flying so fast he left behind the tiniest traces of smoke in his wake.

Keith smirked as Gengar Taunted Eon. As if they needed non-attacking moves... Sure, they helped, but Eon still had a lot to work with nevertheless.

"And there's that combination of Quick Attack and Wing Attack we saw in the semifinals!" Gavin remarked as Staravia started its move. "Jake's starting strong, for sure!"

Keith gestured towards his opponents. "OK, Mel- Reflect, let's go! Eon, use Glitzy Glow on Gengar!"

"VUI!" exclaimed the steaming Shiny Eevee as she unleashed an absurd barrage of telekinetic energy towards Gengar. This would also have the effect of setting up a Light Screen on their side of the battlefield while Melittin more directly set up Reflect. This wouldn't completely block Quick Wing, but it would sure as shit soften the blow.

"Excellent teamwork by Eevee and Beedrill as they both set up different kinds of walls," Gavin commented. "Between Reflect and the Light Screen effect of Glitzy Glow, Jake's attacks are gonna have their work cut out for them here!"

"Good work," Keith smirked. "Now, Eon- hit Staravia with your Buzzy Buzz! Melittin, Focus Energy!" Eon was already crackling with electricity, ready to unleash the super effective move upon Staravia, while Melittin took a deep breath to focus, the reddish aura coming over his body proving the move's success.

"Gengar, dodge that Glitzy Glow!" Jake called. "Use Curse on the Eevee!"

Gengar quickly maneuvered out of the way of the Eevee signature move. After all, there would be no Light Screen if the attack didn't hit. She poked a pin into herself, setting a Curse on Eon the Eevee. Just then, Jake saw the Beedrillite Band on Melittin the Beedrill's left stinger.

"I knew it!" Jake exclaimed, seeing out of the corner of his eye Staravia land his attack despite the Reflect. "Keith is gonna Mega Evolve that Beedrill! And probably use a Z-Move with Eevee! Do you really need those gimmicks to win?" Jake asked Keith. "I have none of those and still managed to win my way here! And I'm a relatively new Trainer!" He was really getting into the heat of the battle. Speaking of which...

"Staravia, Double Team, then Heat Wave!" ordered Jake. "Gengar, Hypnosis on Beedrill, now!"

Both Pokémon immediately acted. Staravia flew up high and created multiple copies of himself. He then flapped his wings so fast they were a blur, and the Heat Wave he generated was like a wildfire, easily shorting out the Buzzy Buzz. It even continued rolling on after that—Staravia was getting more and more powerful with each battle.
Gengar floated sideways and started to generate hypnotic waves directed at the focusing Beedrill. The move would stop Melittin in his tracks and put him to sleep before he could execute whatever move he would use next.

"And there's that Curse again, targeting the Eevee!" Gavin declared. "A bold strategy, but from what I've heard, few know better about Curse than Keith Masters!"

Keith chuckled at Jake's words. "Gimmicks, you call them?" he called back. "You're a good Trainer, that much is clear, but you still got a lot to learn. Mega Evolution, Z-Moves- the ability to pull them off successfully in battle, to use them to one's advantage, is proof of the bond of trust between Trainer and Pokémon. Ways of unleashing their full potential! Allow me to demonstrate," he grinned, gripping the brim of his Mega Hat. "Melittin!" he declared. "Our hearts connected by an unbreakable bond- let out that power and show what we got!" With that, he swept the Mega Hat off his head and held it up high. "Mega Evolve!!!" he exclaimed.

The reaction was instantaneous. Tendrils of energy erupted from the Beedrillite set into the stinger band Melittin wore, connecting with the tendrils of energy the Key Stone in Keith's hat was giving off. The transformation took place, with Mel sprouting long, sharp stingers on his legs, and his existing stingers getting longer and sharper as well. Keith gave a confident smile to the that floated before him!

Melittin's Beedrillite is reacting to Keith's Mega Hat!

!!!!!




Melittin has Mega Evolved into Mega Beedrill!
"And in a spectacular display, Keith's Beedrill has just Mega Evolved!" Gavin declared. "This battle's gonna be good!"

As Jake gave his orders, Keith smirked. "Use Swords Dance!" he ordered Melittin. And right away, the Mega Beedrill was but a blur, spinning in place as all four stingers glowed red. Not only would this help Mel to avoid succumbing to Hypnosis, but the rapid spinning would even work well against the Heat Wave, softening the blow if not deflecting it completely!

Keith then turned to Eon, who was still pissed off by the Taunt. "Eon, use Swift on Staravia! No letup!" he declared.

"Ooeeeee... VEE!" Eon shouted. Numerous glowing stars of pure energy formed all around her, and at her shout, they were off, honing in on Staravia with grim precision, and more power than average thanks to Eon's Adaptability.

And once Melittin's Swords Dance had done its various jobs, Keith turned his attention back to it. "Now strike Staravia down with Poison Jab!" he commanded. Almost before he finished speaking, Melittin was off, a yellow and black striped blur as he set his four smaller stingers into the grooves in his rear stinger, making one very big, very deadly stinger. "And Eon, blast Gengar with Psychic!" he added, a command Eon was more than willing to comply with.

Sure enough, Keith Mega Evolved his Beedrill and followed up by telling it to use Swords Dance, then Poison Jab. The Eevee used Swift, both on Staravia.

Only thing was, the spinning didn't repel the Heat Wave after all. Some of the flame started swirling around the Bug/Poison-type as it spun, before sinking in. It didn't deal as much damage, of course.
Also, Heat Wave neutralized a lot of the Swift stars. Not all, though.

"Gengar, act fast!" Jake shouted. "Psychic that Swift and then use Haze! Staravia, more Heat Wave!"

"Gengar!" yelled the Ghost/Poison-type as her eyes glowed blue. The same blue surrounded the remaining Swift stars and sent them towards the Mega Beedrill. A similar use of the Ghost-type move Hex served to stop, or at least disrupt, Eon's Psychic as well. With that, Gengar released a dense black mist that enveloped the field. Staravia's Double Team copies went away, but so did the Mega Beedrill's Swords Dance boosts. Thanks to the opaque gas, Staravia was able to dodge the Poison Jab. He quickly sent more Heat Wave flying at the opponents, or at least where he thought the opponents were.
