Gustella Gym Challenger Yuki! Fight Begin!

[sularis]

Yuki walked through the front doors of the gym, smile wide on his face. He felt he could take on the world right now! He trotted forward, staring straight into Wendy's eyes. "Long time no see, Leader Wendy. Today I'm here to challenge you for the Float Badge!"

The white haired trainer then turned back to his friends, giving a thumbs up. "Wish me luck. I think I'll do okay though!" With that, Yuki focused on Wendy once more, a determined look on his face. He was here to win!

Sterling walked in after Yuki and looked around the gym. "Hi I hear I have to talk to you about the hint to find the breeding center?" Yuuka walked along beside him and clicked from time to time. "Both me and con are breeders so we need your hint so we can get our new pokemon registered.

[kataya]

Con strolled into the gym shortly after Yuki, trying not to trip over anything in the establishment and make himself look like a dork. This was an establishment he wouldn’t want to do something like that in. Staccato was amazed at all the sights and sounds of the gym. Con gave Yuki a thumbs up in return and turned to Wendy.

Con nodded at Sterling's words, which saved him the effort of explaining himself.

The door to the small house opened up and a woman stepped out, followed by a Honchkrow and a Pidgeot.

"Hello there. So, who's a trainer and who wants to pry the riddle out of me?" She asked, rotating her shoulders in preparation for battle.

"Well, here is the riddle for you Breeders, figure it out and take Pidgeot here to find your Center. Ahem.

There is a place not far from here
It's not difficult to find.
Keep to Gustella's lefthand ear
And seek it with sound mind.

Your guide is known for being angry
And marked with a big red bow.
You`ll find it's not quite that scary
Which is strange for a big Fearow." She said with a smile.

[sularis]

Yuki squared his shoulders as Wendy walked out of the little house. "I am the trainer wishing to battle, and my companions are the breeders. You..don't remember me do you? I'm Trianna's son, Yuki!"

The white haired boy turned back to his friends, smiling softly. "Don't worry bout me guys. I'll be fine. Just find the breeding center." He then did an about face to refocus on Wendy. His first gym battle..he'd be lying if he told himself he wasn't nervous right now.

[luna]

Sterling nodded, "sounds easy enough. Is there anything else I should know before leaving this place?" He called out to Yuuka who had wondered off looking around the house. Hearing the whistle she quickly returned to Sterling's side. "Good luck Yuki I hope you kick butt."

[Bayhound]

Wendy arched one of her brows at her challenger, lifting a finger to tap at her chin as she paced back and forth to try and recall who this little chitlin was. "Oh, right! You're Trianna's son!" she said, basically repeating what he'd just said. "Just because we've met before doesn't mean I'm going to go easy on ya, small fry." As soon as the other two had walked off to try and figure out her riddle, she motioned for Pidgeot to follow them overhead in case they figured it out, then stepped back and took her stance.

"Know the rules, kiddo? Let's do this!" Instantly the woman threw a ball onto the field, a small brown pokemon standing in its wake and holding a green stick. He stood proudly before the boy and saluted, readying himself for the battle to come.

"Farfetch'd!"

"You get to go first, Yuki. Sure you're ready?" she winked.

Farfetch'd: 23/23

[sularis]

Yuki smiled brightly. 'You bet I am. Diamante, I choose you!" He tossed his Pokeball into the air, his chosen Pokemon basically exploding from her ball. "Kyuuuuuuuuuuuuuurem!" I'm ready! Diamante stared down her opponent, waiting for the first order.

The white haired boy thought for a moment before calling out his attack. "Okay Diamante, Use Ice Shard!" The Kyurem roared, chilling the air in front of her to a sharp, pointed shard of ice before flinging it at the Farfetch'd...

[RESULT: 6]
{+1Type Adv.}

SHWIIING! It was a hit! Diamante felt raring to go, her head swaying back and forth as if to taunt the Farfetch'd before her. Yuki felt confident in his Pokemon!

Diamante: 36/36
Farfetch'd: 16/23

[Bayhound]

Tch, a Legendary. He was just gonna use his bog guns first and go all out, eh? The Leader crossed her arms and chuckled.

"Dodge, Farfetch'd!" Wendy called, the bird pokemon trying his best to flap his short wings and get out of the way. He dodged what could have been a critical hit, at least, but the majority of the attack still hit him head on. Shaking the frost off of his wings in mid-flight, he glared at the Kyurem and puffed out his chest.

"Aerial Ace, let's go! Aim for her back!" Farfetch'd instantly rose in altitude and plummeted at his intended destination with alarming speed, spiraling his attack towards Diamante.

"FARFETCH'D!"

[RESULT: 7]

It was a solid hit, and the bird flew away with pride to try and avoid any other attacks.

Diamante: 29/36
Farfetch'd: 16/23

[sularis]

Diamante wasn't as nimble as the Farfetched, so she wasn't as able to dodge the attack. She shrugged it off and roared at the bird Pokemon. Yuki knew which move to use next. "Alright Diamante, Sheer Cold!"

The Kyurem smirked, lowering her head as the air around the room began to get substantially colder..

[RESULT: 7]

But not cold enough to do any damage. Pity..It worked so well against those Necro baddies. Yuki was left floundering after that. Diamante looked back at her trainer in apology.

Diamante: 30/36
Farfetch'd: 16/23

[Bayhound]

Both Wendy and her Farfetch'd hesitated. Sheer Cold? If that hit... they'd be done for. That is... IF. That was the big question. The woman motioned to her pokemon to be on alert in case she actually pulled it off, and the temperature began to drop, but... it didn't quite make it. Wendy sighed in relief, as did the bird, and she smirked towards Yuki.

"Don't feel too bad, moves like that are very hard to land and require lots of focus. More practice will do you well. Now, where were we?" she cooed. "Farfetch'd, Aerial Ace once more!"

"Faaaaaarfetch'd!" he responded, twirling his stick before diving back at his opponent.

[RESULT: 7]

Diamante: 22/36
Farfetch'd: 16/23

[sularis]

Diamante flinched this time, the sharp strike was a bit more painful than the last. If Diamante wasn't careful, she'd be in trouble. Yuki thought hard about his next move. "Okay, so that didn't work. Try Icy Wind!"

The Kyurem raised her posture upward, extending the one good wing she had as the cold wind began to whip through the arena..

[RESULT: 7]
{+1 Type Adv.}

Fshoooooo! The attack hit the Farfetched, and Yuki cheered. "Great hit Diamante!" Diamante crooned to her trainer. She'd not go down so easily! This battle was going fairly well for Yuki.

Diamante: 22/36
Farfetch'd: 8/23

[Bayhound]

"Muk. Hang in there little buddy!" Wendy shouted, gritting her teeth. Darn Kyurem and her ice typed attacks! Farfetch'd was beginning to struggle now, but he wouldn't give up now, and neither would the leader. The both of them flexed and stretched, looking for weak points on the massive beast before them.

"Keep aiming for places she can't easily reach, Farfetch'd. Use Cut!"

Emitting a battle cry, the bird made several loops around Diamante, waiting until she both looked a bit dizzy from following him and until he found a good vantage point. In an instant he'd quickly slashed against the pokemon with the leek in his grasp.

[RESULT: 8]

Diamante: 14/36
Farfetch'd: 8/23

[sularis]

Yuki could tell he would lose at this rate. Time for some fast thinking. He held out Diamante's pokeball and pressed the button. "Return, Diamante!" He sighed and grabbed his other Pokeball, tossing it into the air. "This may be foolish, but go Bruce!"

The ball burst open and Bruce stretched his arms out. He then realized that he was in battle and put on his best battle pose. Meanwhile, Yuki quickly used an Oran Berry on Diamante from his bag.

[Diamante Regains 10 Health]

Now there was the matter of attacking. He thought for a moment before announcing his attack. "Try Knock Off, Bruce!" Bruce nodded and charged up to the weakened Farfetch'd, thrusting his palm outwards..

[RESULT: 6]

THWAM! It hit hard, but whether it would help him win the battle was another thing. Bruce felt pretty confident in his attack! Yuki smiled softly, glad he was a quick thinker. "Nice job, Bruce."

Diamante: 14/36 + 10 = 24/36
Bruce: 26/26
Farfetch'd: 2/23

[Bayhound]

Wendy nodded at the trainer as he recalled Diamante so he could heal her. That was a good choice, since if he waited much longer and if her feathered friend kept hitting like he had been, the Kyurem would have been harder to try and get back into fighting shape. That, and she was sure Yuki wouldn't want to keep Bruce out for too long. Bad type match.

"Quickly, Farfetch'd! Aerial Ace on his Mienfoo! Give it everything you've got!" Panting, the pokemon followed through, his spin a little slower as he dive-bombed Bruce.

[RESULT: 3] Super-effective +1

Diamante: 24/36
Bruce: 22/26
Farfetch'd: 2/23
