The show ended rather spectacularly. The suprise was when the spot light landed on Gray and he was called down. The Cerulean sisters were down at the bottom waiting as he moved. The crowd went wild since they were getting to a Gym Battle now.
"So regular battle then elite battle?" Violet asked for confirmation. She was in a refree bathing suit.
"Sounds good to me." Gray held his Pokeball out. The Gym leader copied it. "They say ladies first."
"Alright. Go, Starmie!" Daisy sent her first pokemon out somewhat excitied.
Starmie came out and floated before landing. It's back fins spinning before turning the other way.
"Go, Godzilla!" Throwing the ball out, it bounced before it opened. Totodile looked around then focused on the Gym Leader's hands. He liked his lips menacingly. "No biting the pretty gym leader unless she says it's ok."
"Hmph!" Totodile grunted and shot smoke out of its nose. Looking at Starmie, he wanted to know how tasty the jewel would be. 'Something to test my teeth against!'
"Battle begin!" Soon as the ref said it, Totodile shot off. His mouth already open for bites.
"Starmie, use Agility then Swift."
"Cha!" It hopped on two of its fins. They glowed with energy for a brief second. With a little hop, it was out of Totodile's way. First move was easy. Starmie moved then, jumped back.
"Snap," Totodile jaws slammed shut right in front of Starmie. A drop of sweat appeared on the Pokemon. It knew it was a close call. The bolts of electricity around Totodiles mouth spooked it.
"Cha!" With a burst of power from fear, it fired the attack off.
"Chew, chew, chew, chew, chew," five stars fired out from its top fin. Slamming into Totodile's belly.
To close for him to dodge out of the way. "Dile!" Flying back, he stopped a few feet from Gray eating dirt. "Grr," staring up angrily. Totodile pointed its claws out. Shaking up and down as he yelled. 'Ok! Ok! You were right. Tell me what to do!' Totodile pinged his thoughts to Gray aggressively.
"Alright, no problem." Gray said cooly. "Use the move we practice yesterday."
"Totodile!" Firing more steam from his nose, he started wiggling his tail.
"Bzzt, Bzzt," electrical arcs started to appear in the air. The more Totodile jumped around the battlefield the more steam he let out.
"Have know idea what he is doing? But gonna put a stop to it. Starmie, use Ice Beam!" Daisy was becoming more excited. She felt the fans in the crowd cheering louder behind the screens.
"Chaaa!" Areas of ice shot out from the top fin. 3 chains of an ice current shot off at its target. Totodile just jumped from side to side with ease. For a full minute, the attack went out.
"Use Rest Starmie!" Daisy said low which was a little weird.
"Godzilla, use Thunder Crunch," Gray said from the side. 'If she is bold enough to use rest in battle, then she must have a way to wake it up fast enough.'
"Bzzt," electric arcs traveled to Totodile as it slid across the icy floor. His speed gaining as he moved out. Opening his jaws wide, he went for a bite on Starmie. "Bzzt," the electricity surged with more power.
"Ping!" A yellow dome appeared before dissipating.
"Gym Leader's know a few tricks. I use Protect before Rest without even giving the command." Daisy had a triumphant look on her face. It disappeared when she saw Gray smirk. 'I have a bad feeling. Why is he so.. unperturbed?'
"Crunch!" A pair of electrical teeth appeared and bit down on Starmie. The teeth mimicked Totodile movements earlier. It went up down and side to side. Then reversed in that order. The final was a throw-down of the mouth.
"Oh no?!" Daisy was concerned by the strength of the attack. That and her Pokemon was still rusty from intense battles. "Can you continue?"
"Draaa!" Starmie woke when it hit the ground. It had the energy to continue its attack. But it was pretty banged up otherwise. "Draaa!"
"Good. Use recover then Swift again!" Daisy composed her self instantly. 'We are still in this!" Gripping her hands tightly she looked ahead. "Give it your best Starmie!"
"Godzilla, use Thunder Fang." Gray watched and saw both Pokemon and Gym Leader aura rise. It was very fascinating to watch.
"To to dile toto !" Building up for the final strike! He snarled at having to rush. Skating on the ice it slid around the battlefield. The sparks in the air disappearing as he passed. The fins on it's back started glowing radiating intense strength. "Totodile!" I am ready! With a dash, Totodile shot across head lowered building speed. His claws scraping the floor.
Right as Starmie finished, he was face to face with Totodile. Who had his jaws wide open. Eyes menacing as it glared.
"Draaa...dra." Starmie was to scared to use Swift. It took one step back before it was bitten. "Dra!" Once encased the electricity went to work paralyzing the Pokemon. It stopped struggling instantly.
"Bzzzzzt," electricity shot out from the sides of Totodile's mouth, while it chomped down. The attack ended. Wrangling the Pokemon a little more, Totodile did not drop his guard till all struggling stopped and no movement could be felt. "Wooosh," hot steam left his snout, dousing the pokemon as he moved. After another shake, he then move to the side and threw Starmie out of the arena. Eyes watching it the entire time. "Bang," it hit the wall hard. "Thud," it drooped after hitting the wall.
"Doom," the light going out as it fainted.
"Toto dile!" My win! The little Pokemon's eyes started to drop.
"Ah, good job Starmie." The Gym leader returned her Pokemon. "Just a minute please." Daisy handed it over to one of the aids. "Make sure he gets treated really quickly." The aide nodded and shot off. The crowd went wild with happiness. She turned and watched as Totodile moved to Gray slowly. He didnt move to help the Pokemon in any way. 'After usuing so much power, no way is it still going to battle. He should get him from the arena. At least return him.'
"Tap, tap," on heavy footsteps, Totodile made it to in front of Gray.
"You OK?" Gray picked Totodile who was standing on wobbly legs. "Guess not." He returned the Pokemon back to its ball to rest. Waiting patiently for the Gym Leader to continue.
"Sorry about that. Let's continue." She looked at Gray who said nothing. "Go Cloyster!"
"Thudd!" A loud noise accompanied the arena shaking. This Cloyster was a lot heavier for some reason.
"Clloyy," it gurgles for a little bit with bubbles coming out of the center. The outer shell opening and closing.
"O, boy that is a biggin." Gray just looked at the Pokemon trying to figure out what they had been feeding it. "Ah, well. Time to test your strength even further."
Not eve thinking about it, she came out on her own. "Ka dabra!" Get some! Empress stood their proudly. She lifted off the ground and just watched her opponent. Eyes glaring down. She naturally used Intimidate. 'Gray, I am going to show you what I am capable of!'
'I told you already... '
"Begin!" The referee called out. Violet looked at Empress as if she was a pized trophy. Her eyes sparkling as she watched her float.
"Cloyster, use withdraw!"
"Sching," it was instantly covered in a blue glow. The shell looked even sturdier.
'You think that will protect you?!' Empress was angry. Pulling the psychic energy in the area it glowed with power. Her defenses dropped but her Speed and Special attack went up.
"Bwoom," in front of Empress a black ball appeared. It grew in strength as she gathered more.
"Cloyster, use Water Gun!" The Pokemon opened its shell and blasted out a torrent of water. It was all packed into the black ball. A cold gift appeared in Empress's eyes. She swallowed the ball.
"What in the blue blazes is this?" Gray was a little caught off guard. 'Where the hell did she learn this?'
"Cloyster use Withdraw!" The Gym Leader yelled afraid for some reason. As soon as her Pokemon did so, Empress used Teleport.
"Swoosh," she appeared above of the enclosed Pokemon. Hands glowing in dark energy. Spreading her hands out two spoons appeared.
"Raaaah," Empress gave a yell as she used her power to lift the Cloyster into the air. Once it was ten feet off the ground, the spoons started to bend. "Grrrr," she gritted her teeth as she continued to lift. The spoons bent some more.
"Cloyster use Rapid Spin!" The Gym Leader called out. She watched as her Pokemon tried to follow the order. It jerked once or twice before it stopped. "Ehhh, Cloyster try.." her voice was cut short as, she watched her Pokemon get lifted above Empress's head. Then sent down to the ground like a piked volleyball.
"Yahh!" Empress yelled as she sent the Pokenon down to the ground. A black ball appearing in her mouth. it absorbed the energy in the air before launching from her mouth spiraling like a corkscrew. She had used a power up Shadow Ball!
"Crash!" Cloyster pierced the arena floor. Half the Pokemon was embedded inside. The Shadow Ball smashed down hard, sending it furthur into the ground. "Kaboom!" Dark energy detonating on the area. Shockwaves went out in the arena. The barrier cutting off the crowd fluctuated.
'Empress, that is enough! This is a regular battle. You can not fight that way. You could have killed that Cloyster.' Gray thought to her as he stared her down. 'If you keep it up, I will forfeit the round. You understand me?'
'Tch!' Empress stared back upset. She did not break contact, but felt he was generally upset at her. 'Fine already.' She floated down in front of him and waited.
"Cloyster is unable to battle." The referee declared after a moment. Violet was even more fond of Empress now. 'Such a powerful little Pokemon. I want it!'
"Woah, that was intense. Your quite the dangerous duo." The Gym leader said as she returned her Pokemon. Daisy felt a little defeated and no longer wanted to battle. Lily came to get her pokemon this time. Her hands glowing lightly as she applied aura to Cloyster. "You have won two out of three matches.. I think we should just move to the Elite battle now."
"Hmm, my Pokemon need the experience in battle so no." Gray smiled. "I will keep out my Kadabra so bring out your next Pokemon. Heard you wanted to prove Cerulian was a decent Gym? So bring out your next Pokemon and proved it to your citizens."
"Alright then." The Gym Leader touched at the ball on her navel. The ball was not for decoration. It enlarged revealing a regular Pokeball. "Go Wartortle!"
"Warrr!" Oh Yeah! The Pokemon declared when released. It looked at the arena and became angry. A giant hole as well as cracks all over the place. It was going to suck fixing it. Turning to its trainer it had the facial expression of 'what the hell happen here?'
"Really powerful Trainer here. His Pokemon are not weak. Both Starmie and Cloyster lost already." Daisy felt off-put at Wartotrle's stare. "You think they are nothing? That attitude of yours is the reason we use to loose in the past!" Daisy started glowing as her aura finally broke free. She received just enough stimulation for it to work.
"To this weak thing?" Wartortle turned to look at Empress.
"Oh, dear. What a stupid Pokemon." Gray said rubbing his temple. "Empress, I know I said take it easy but if he thinks he can taunt you like this.." He touched the top of head and gave her a rub. "..feel free to give him a little more pain. Just dont kill him." Releasing a little of his aura in response he let her know it was time to fight a little more seriously. No longer a regular Gym Battle. Daisy had escalated it to the next level.
'You got it!' Empress transmitted back. She started hopping around the arena doing jabs. The others thought nothing of it. But Gray and June knew what was going on. Every five punches she threw out, her attack stat went up. Every ten hops, her speed went up. "Bring it punk!" Empress decided through her own insult out. "I heard Blastoise have strong shells my Gray already beat one of them. You should be nothing at all!"
"Oh, I am going to beat you weakingling." The Wartortle moved forward.
"Begin the final round!" Violet said a little anxious.
"Warturtle use Mach Punch!" Daisy felt her blood was boiling. She had not been so excited for a battle since they were kids. She wanted to win. The crowd started cheering causing her aura to grow even stronger.
"Oh yeah!" He shot off hand glowing. Wartortle felt empowered by his trainer's power. He hadn't the foggiest idea what it was but it was very appreciated.
'Empress, wait and use Counter.' Gray knew the attack would hit first. But that would make the Counter that more brutal since they were prepared for it. 'Catch the jaw.'
Empress nodded. Soon as Wartortle made contact she sent out a left. It didnt make a noise as it hit. To light but that didn't matter. She was able to determine its defense now.
"Whop," Wartorles Mach Punch hit her in the shoulder. She moved back a little. "Whssh," Her tail came at hisghspeeds wrapping around Wartortles head.
"Use Revenge," Gray said cooly. Empress pulled the head down with a whipping motion. Empress's hands glowed as her fist slammed into the pokemon.
"Bam!" Wartortle head rocked back. But only for a moment before it was pulled back forward. "Bam!" Another hit stronger than before landed. As the head rocked back this time, Wartortle pushed his legs off the ground to offset Empress. It did not work. Empress kept herself balance with the use of her psychic energy. She pulled Wartortle back down again. "Wham!" The next headshot drew blood. Wartortle was dazed as imaginary stars floated around its head.
"Wartortle, Use Ice Punch!" Daisy cried out. 'This Kadabra is so unusual.'
"Nice hands girly!" Wartortle grinned and sent his left hand out. It was covered in ice as it formed for a punch. Empress waited till it was close and released its tail hold. The Ice Punch missed as she slid to the side."Why you" Wartortle cursed as he stepped forward to catch himself.
"Bam!" Empress delivered a downward across to its temple. Wartortle staggered as it took a knee. Not letting the chance go to waste, she used Tail Whip on him. "Tap, tap, tap," her tail feathered Wartortle making him subconsciously drop his guard.
"Wartortle shake away the confusion." The Gym Leader said in angst. "Use Rain Dance!"

"Wartortle!" Shaking his stupor away, he retreated into his shell and spun away. Empress moved around dancing throwing jabs. Once she reached her Max she stopped.
"Hah," Empress exhaled and swishes her tail signaling Gray.
"Do it." Was all he said. Empress then used Recover to restore the damages she had taken. As the water rain down, her tail moved about slowly. She was physically growing in the battle. She now stood about five feet tall.
"Wartortle use Aqua Jet!" As soon as her Pokemon got close she changed it up. She was just using the attack for the speed. "Use, Skull Bash!" Wartortle's head glowed as the water disappeared. The force of the attack pushing everything away.
"Teleport and use Sucker Punch!" Gray yelled. 'Skull Bash would have done some serious damage to Empress.'
