"Ngh!" Aidan cringed in surprise as his pokemon took as much of a beating as Vero's just did. He realized that his excitement at his pokemon's first success was not helpful but a hindrance. No matter what was happening he had to stay focused, for the benefit of Freya and Meri.
Meri wobbled, her footing unsteady as she breathed heavily, feeling quite the brunt of the Magical Leaf attack. Freya looked no better.
Aidan grimaced, willing himself to focus only on the matter at hand.
"C'mon you two. Switch it up and try it again."
"Osha!"
"Trap!"
Freya took a determined stomp, and then another, shifting her weight back and forth in at a constant time. Meri took a firm stance upon Freya's head yet again, readying herself cautiously. As Freya quickly built up a bit of power she charged forward again, this time tucking her legs in so she could spin forward while using Struggle Bug, aimed in Gypsy's direction. Meri summoned up a Scald that rained down on the stage as Freya spun, but she jumped into the air with an agile grace, concentrating the flow of boiling water at Whirr.
[RESULT: 8] +1 Type Advantage [RESULT: 8]
Gypsy: 6/24 Whirr: 7/25
Meri: 13/22 Freya: 15/25

Vero scoffed as he watched his score fall even more with the next attack, turning away from Obsidian and the judges as they yakked on and on. But now wasn't the time to lose patience! Gypsy patted Whirr on the back as he coughed from the amount of water doused on him, her own eyes drooping as she started to get tired. He couldn't give up hope yet, they'd gotten this far and proved how strong they could be! Plus, hopefully things were just getting started!
"Now loves, work together again! Leer this time Whirr, and follow through with what you did last time, Gypsy!"
Hopping atop the blue pokemon, the Snivy nodded, bracing herself as Whirr charged forward, staring the other two down with what seemed to be cruel intent. For such a small fellow, he sure did look intimidating... then, while they weren't paying attention, Gypsy fired another Magical Leaf at Freya.
[RESULT: 6] All attacks on opponent pokemon now +2
[RESULT: 9] Super-effective +1, stat change +2 Gypsy: 6/24 Whirr: 7/25 Meri: 13/22 Freya: 3/25

This was it. It was really all down to the wire now. Aidan could tell Freya wasn't going to make it much longer. She was barely moving around now, but Meri was attempting to urge the Trapinch to stand tall and proud as possible.
Aidan was surprised when he felt a small pinch in his left palm, the sting lingering even after he opened his hand in response. He hadn't realized he had been clenching his fists so hard.
He took in one sharp breath before pointing forward.
"One more time. And make it count."
Meri and Freya took familiar positions, using the same move combination they had previously, each of them attacking the same targets as well. Freya's weakness was evident, but the small pokemon was still charging with all her might.
[RESULT: 9] +1 Type Advantage [RESULT: 8]
Gypsy: 0/24 Whirr: 0/25
Meri: 13/22 Freya: 3/25

He should have seen it coming.
It'd been a hard fight from the beginning - he shouldn't have been so cocky and given the coordinator the upper hand. But... even after having to rush out and scoop up his fainted pokemon to rush them to Nurse Joy (because Vero, being who he is, thought they were dying, not simply fainted), he knew they did the best they could. A little more training would help them along, and he couldn't say he wasn't proud. Fresh out of the lab and already making it to the top two!
Vero sighed and hung his head, moving forward to acknowledge Aidan. "You fought pretty well, but just know that you got lucky! Next time, if there is a next time... things will be different." A quick smile and he turned on his heels, cooing and mumbling apologies to his partners all the way. That fellow was going down in his little black book, no doubt about it. He'd pay for what he'd done to his pokemon!

The crowd cheered as Mr. Contesta stood, a small case in his hands. He approached Aidan with a smile on his face and opened the case. "For winning the contest, I'd like to present you with the Breezebay Ribbon and this attack boosting TM, Hone Claws. Congratulations on an excellent appeal." He said with a smile, pushing the prizes forward. Ribbon Obtained: Aidan: Breezebay Ribbon TM Obtained: G5TM 01, Hone Claws
