Hannibal ran off unexpectedly at the end of the battle, leaving Xenon hanging on with the slightest bit of health left in his body as their foes retreated. Well that sucked! Why did they have to run off like that?! What a hit and run kind of guy, oh how he despised those types of characters! Frowning with all of his exhaustion, the Pineco instantly started to glow, catching Seamus's attention as he grew in massive size at a fast rate.
"...Already?" Seamus asked, eyes widening as he took in the evolution for himself, immensely curious about the process of evolution as he watched it for himself. As the light bursted and faded off of him, Xenon was revealed with a rather well polished look, appearing more mature than before. Tired, but more grown up. <Didn't see that one coming.> Xenon mused, noticing that Seamus was quickly taking out a Super Potion and spraying him at the sound of Tina's voice. H-Hey! What was this all about?!
"Ah, yes. We were here for a battle." Seamus used the plural, referring to Xenon since he still intended on using the Forretress for the Gym Battle. From the rumors, it was apparently supposed to be a double battle though. He'd have to make sure that Tina would accept him as a challenger before picking another Pokemon though, assuming that it was her voice he heard.

Gym Leader Tina ! The clicking of heels could be heard as the professional looking lady emerged from the shadowy depths of the back of the building. She brushed some of the hair in front of her face away. "My apologies if I kept you waiting." She said, although nothing in her expression suggested that she was sorry.
Clearing her throat, she continued, "I'm Tina, the leader of this gym. I won't go easy on you." in a serious and formal manner. "Bitty! Whopper!" With a flick of her elbow, she sent out her first two pokemon - a dwarf of a Budew and massive Steelix whose belly rumbled upon appearance.
<Ugh, I'm so hungry.> The huge snake bellowed, turning a sad eye towards Tina. <Ugh, she fed you like, thirty minutes ago?> The Budew scoffed. <I wanna battle with Big Mac. He's soo much stronger.> She sassed. Whopper growled at her with anger. <I'd eat you if you weren't so puny, weed.>
"You may go first." Tina proposed in the midst of this, looking down at the pokedex she held in her hand. She was on its sandbox application, where she could input Seamus' pokemon and their attacks for reference. It was a tactic trainers rarely used merely because they didn't investigate their pokedex manuals enough.

Tina looked awfully classy as she wandered in, keeping a cool and calm attitude as she apologized for making him wait. He nodded, not caring that she didn't appear to be the most sincere. She was polite and he appreciated that, making it especially easier on him because he preferred having a distance with females. She seemed to have a lot more sense than Paris, though she looked younger than Adrian. His past experiences with Gym Leaders made him wonder exactly how tough this challenge would be.
She sent out two Pokemon; a Budew and a Steelix, feeling a little nostalgic at the sight of the metallic snake. Even Xenon was a little perplexed, thinking that it was Cobalt for a second until he noticed that this one was a male. <As long as you don't eat me, feel free to eat.> Xenon joked a little, not having a problem with either of them despite the Budew's attitude. Maybe he was more mature...maybe.
Seamus had to think about which Pokemon to use--originally wanting to use his Magnemite, but then they'd hardly have any attacks to take down the ground type. He'd have to use Steel, he supposed. "Steel, it's your turn." He released a Drilbur to stand by the Forretress, which looked surprised at the sight of Xenon's new form. <Hey man, congrats.> Steel commented, surprised that he had evolved so quickly. <Oh, uh, thanks.> Xenon chuckled, flattered that Steel had noticed. These guys were able to work well together, from what Seamus could see. Hopefully it would work out.
"Spikes and Hone Claws." He wanted Xenon to be useful even after the Pokemon had fainted, and spikes was the way to do it. Toxic of course would've been nice, but both of these Pokemon were immune to it. Oh well. Xenon spun around and set small spikes around the opposing team, giving Pokemon that switched in a painful surprise while Steel sharpened his claws. "Rock Slide and Mirror Shot." Seamus had been waiting for Xenon to evolve for a while, and Mirror Shot was a move he had been waiting to see. Xenon fired off a bright grey orb that happened to be very dense right at the Budew, though with such a small target, who knew if it would hit. Steel's attacks would be more accurate though, especially as he used his claws to make small rocks out of the earth as he launched them at both foes.

Tina's occasional comments went somewhat ignored, seeing it as the usual competitive bantering that most trainers said to each other. If she wanted him to try harder, he wasn't that inclined to listen. He felt like doing things at his own pace, choosing to focus more on the Pokemon at hand instead of letting her reach him emotionally. His battle with Paris really made him reconsider the psychological effects of the opponent, and he had to be careful not to make any hasty moves. That being said, this was an uneventful turn. Neither of her Pokemon made any attacks, making him wonder what exactly she was planning as he raised a questioning eyebrow. That was never good; now why would they simply stand there like dummies and take it?
Something bad was happening, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was exactly. If it was protect, then it was hidden very well. They were tiring awfully quickly too, but he didn't think much of that. He didn't have a way of telling what levels they were, but the Steelix's condition did throw him off. What in the world...? He was going to play his cards carefully this time, that was for sure. "Spikes and Hone Claws." The Forretress really didn't have any other status moves to use that would be useful at the moment, so why not. As Xenon built up his Spikes layer for incoming foes, doing his part for after he fainted, Steel was sharpening up his claws even more as he gave an easy going grin to the Budew.
<Ah, nice of ya not to hurt us.> The Drilbur commented after he finished his head, scratching his head as he tried to figure out what was going on. Something felt off; very very off, but what could possibly be up with the situation? <I don't like this...> Xenon grumbled with a heavy sigh, staring at the small Budew and giant Steelix with concerned eyes. Steel looked at Xenon with a confused look, not understanding what was wrong with such a beautiful opportunity, even though he sensed something was wrong. <You too, huh?> The Drilbur asked, a little more serious as the pair looked at the two foes with concerned eyes. They were up to something.
"Bug Bite and X-Scissor on the Budew." Seamus said finally, having enough of this. They'd figure out what to do with the Steelix later, figuring that it had all of the fang moves that could put his Pokemon in a tight spot. He'd figure it out, but right now the Budew seemed to be the most vulnerable. Xenon's mighty form charged after the much smaller Budew, planning on clamping his shell hard on her buds while the Drilbur crossed his claws into an 'X' and charged straight after her as well. Hopefully the bug type moves would do the trick, even though in reality, the Substitute would only let one at the most work.

Gym Leader Tina ! Bitty and Whooper had done well to conceal the substitutes they'd just formed behind their backs. The two opponents seemed to suspect them, but it was nothing major, especially since the trainer himself didn't know what they were doing.
Bitty prepared herself as the two attacks came, then suddenly reached behind her back and shoved it in front of her. It took the Bug Bite, which damaged the substitute a lot but ended up not being enough. Then the X - Scissor came, destroying the stand-in entirely. Bitty herself was unscathed, and she brushed her shoulders off as if she were pleased with herself before casting a malicious grin at her two opponents.
Tina had recorded the moves into her pokedex, now familiar with her opponents' moveset. Forretress was part metal, so poison type moves on him were a no no. "Stun Spore and Mega Drain on Drilbur." She commanded. The seedling launched herself immediately at Steel before unleashing a burst of yellow powder at him. Then, grinning, she summoned green spores to steal away his health. <Take this, sucka.> She said brattily.
"Whooper, Harden and Fire Fang on the Forretress." Nope, she wasn't going to play nice. Familiar that the Pokémon was bug and steel type, she knew that if the move hit, it'd destroy a fair chunk of health. The huge monster of a steel snake strengthened his shell, then dove face first at the shelled insect, attempting to bite him with flaming jaws.

Definitely something was up, because the Pokemon didn't appear to be injured by any of their attacks. Flinching at the sight of their unfazed opponents, it was time for a harsh retaliation. This wasn't about to end well, both Pokemon were sure about that. Xenon was the hurt to be hit with that frightening Fire Fang, getting right through his defenses instantly as he was taken to the ground with a cry.
Steel was quickly paralyzed and during his stunned moment, he was Mega Drained while he was trapped and vulnerable. With a weak grunt from the hit, he instinctively began to dig underground to protect himself from future hits, concerned as he dug that the paralysis would stop him at any moment.
That meant that Seamus only had Xenon to make attacks, and the moment the Quick Claw in his shell started to glow, he knew it was time. Time to mess with that Budew, seeing as the Steelix was a bit beyond Xenon's capabilities at the moment. "Bug Bite and Mirror Shot." He ordered, standing straighter as he felt the strong urge to retaliate against Tina's defenses. Whatever she was doing was bothering him, even if he didn't understand what it was exactly. The Forretress huffed as he aimed his cannons at the small grass type, firing off a bright metallic orb at Bitty before attempting to bite her on the side with a Bug Bite. She was going to feel damage this time around, that was for sure.

Gym Leader Tina ! Tina watched as Steel burrowed into the ground. That only could have been Dig, so she punched that into her pokedex. Now she had no chance of being surprised later, muahaha. And now she was fortunate; only Xenon was exposed now, so they had reason to gang up on him.
She hadn't realized the item that the pokemon was holding though, so when Seamus suddenly commanded his Forretress to use two attacks, it caught her off guard. Bitty gasped as suddenly the bug type launched two attacks at her, fast enough to hit accurately. The cannon-like projectile hit her in the face, leaving her vulnerable to the insect's clamping shell. <Eww, get off of me, you parasite!> She squealed like a brat while Steelix laughed at her from his side of the field.
"Focus," Tina snapped. "Water Sport and Mega Drain the Forretress." Yeah, it was going to be weak against him. Whatever. Setting up a water sport was a good idea; her opponents could have some fire move up their sleeve. Bitty obeyed the terse command, spraying water all over herself as she twirled like a dancer. Then she launched green sprites at Xenon, intending to sap away some of his health.
"Whooper, Fire Fang again." She continued watching her pokedex boredly as she commanded him. The massive Steelix huffed boredly, then snaked towards the shielded pokemon again, snapping his heated jaws at him once more.

Xenon had no point in stalling for this match, but he was stubborn and liked sticking around as long as possible, mostly to get some satisfaction in annoying others. He had only taken one attack so far, but the Mega Drain was irritating to feel in his weakening state. He had plenty of resistance but this plant was still bothering him, which earned a snarl from the haughty Forretress as the Steelix loomed over him. Creeping up on him with that harsh Substitute defense and with fangs of flames, Xenon gulped as he felt it suddenly get hotter around him. Hot, like the sun's rays in a desert. Hot like being in a shower for too long. Hot like being thrown in a campfire because your trainer wanted to see what would happen. It was all of those kinds of hot, striking him as those fangs attempted to penetrate his thick defenses. <Urrrggg...> He was sweltering under the Steelix's power, but luckily he had his thick shell to back him up, allowing him to survive that hit.
He wouldn't be able to take another thing after it though; he was very well aware of that. Panting and using the last of his strength, his body clamped up tight completely, not revealing a single exposed spot on his body. It was totally 'come at me bros' kind of thing, not caring what they threw at him in the next turn. It was a Protect from what Seamus could see, so he'd let Xenon be and see where it got him. All that was left to worry about was Steel, who was fighting off the paralysis as he dug underground. He had to hit that snake somehow...oddly, it felt hot for some reason. Right above him too. Gulping as his claws smashed away at the dirt above the Steelix, his dig built a pitfall trap around the steel type that would hopefully make it fall and crash.
Panting, the Drillbur emerged completely exposed from the hole after the Dig attack. <You've seen better days, I bet.> Wiping his brow with his arm, the Drilbur looked right at Xenon and all of the burn marks that covered his body. They were against the worst opponents possible, probably. So under-prepared, they really charged into this one without thinking.

Gym Leader Tina ! Whooper roared as the Drilburr slammed up through the ground and sent him tumbling down into the earth, causing severe damage to his substitute. The steel serpentine Pokémon clenched his metallic jaws and screeched, furious. He writhed his way out lazily with his long body before he lunged at the offending mole and tried crunching down into it’s body with an Ice Fang. “You’ll pay for that, runt!” The banter was usual in these kinds of battles, especially from the Steelix, who thought he was quite the bit better than everyone else.
Tina calmly observed the battle, noting the way that Xenon had coiled himself up into a tight protective shell. How could they possibly break through that? Suddenly horror dawned on her face and she stared worriedly at the bug steel type. It was weak, right? It looked like it was on it’s last legs, metaphorically speaking. It had been the experience of many that if you weaken a Pineco or Forretress enough where it won’t last another few rounds, the trainer goes on a kamikaze mission.
“Get away from the Forretress!” She bellowed, cautious urgency lacing her voice, “It might self destruct next turn!” The Steelix realised with a jolt the possible predicament he could be in and, once his turn was over, he dove back into the hole that the mole had dug him. Better use it just in case, because it’d only get filled up later. Why not use his opponent’s strengths to his advantage?
The Budew, however, ignored her trainer’s command and sneered at the Forretress. “Oh yeah, I bet you couldn’t hit a fly with a self destruct,” she taunted. Um, right, yeah a fly would be completely decimated by that move if cursed enough to be in it’s path in the first place. Shaking her body slightly, she spat out some large green orbs and tried vainly to leech the Forretress’s health.

<S-Selfdestruct?> The Forretress glanced at each of his foes with a concerned look at Tina's accusation. He was simply sitting here, protecting himself with the last of his strength. Sure, he could easily pull off a kamikaze sort of move but he had enough sense to care for Steel's health. Speaking off which, the poor Drilbur had his ears screeched at as the Steelix lunged after him with an Ice Fang. Shame that after that dig, the Steelix hadn't even suffered 1/4 of its total health. That left Steel with some issues as he endured the Ice Fang with his lowered defenses, backing off as he felt himself weakening against these guys. <Ugh, paranoid much?> The Drilbur commented after he was hit, rubbing his now freezing arm with his claws as the Steelix retreated into the cold.
As the Drilbur fell to his knees due to weakness from the paralysis, the Budew pointlessly used a Mega Drain on the Foretress that had used protect. After making sure that he was safe from harm, the effects of the attack finally wore off. Now to see what else he could try. Seamus was well aware that Xenon was going to leave the battle soon, so Spikes was a must. "Spikes and Mirror Shot on the Budew." He demanded, noticing that it looked weak enough to faint. The level difference would hopefully be enough to knock it out, despite the healing boosts from the black sludge it held. 'Funny how she instinctively thought I'd go for the Selfdestruct...she knows.' Seamus thought with a worried frown as she held her Pokedex in her hands, guessing which attacks his Pokemon used by looking at their normal level up moveset.
How concerning. Xenon spread his final layer of spikes onto the field, making it fairly hazardous for any extra Pokemon that Tina sent out. 3 layers would take off 25% of any Pokemon's health--basically a Subsitute's worth. The armored bug then fired off what looked like a cannon ball at the Budew in an attempt to make a strike!

Gym Leader Tina ! Actually the Steelix had suffered enough damage to destroy the substitute, just that a certain mod was silly not to estimate it correctly. The huge doll suddenly disintegrated, leaving the Steelix vulnerable to further attack. But no attack came, so he peeked out from inside of the hole he was curled up in. Not wanting to target the Forretress for fear that it'd explode, Tina commanded, "Fire Fang on the Drilbur." The huge metal snake acted quickly to take advantage of his foe's paralysis; his jaws lit aflame as they snapped at the mole.
Bitty was having a bit of trouble. Her Mega Drain, she realized, was a flop, but at least her opponent hadn't exploded like Tina thought. The sight of the spikes showering down on them was enough to distract her in time for the steel-type projectile to smack her in the face, successfully knocking her out. Tina frowned, worried that she had to send out a fresh Pokémon. If that thing exploded, it could wipe out even a fully healed member of her team. She figured the other huge beast of her party, Big Mac, could take it if that happened. "Big Mac." She introduced him as he appeared on the scene, posing as he formed from red light. But when he stepped onto the spiked floor, he performed something like a potty dance.
<Ow. ow. ow. Oh, that's classy. How you folks doin'?> He greeted Seamus and his two Pokémon in an attempt to lighten up the situation a little. Gym battles didn't have to be so grouchy like they always were! Observing Seamus' outfit, he attempted to give him some advice. <I think a cream orange suit would ma-> "Hone Claws and Slash on Forretress."
<Psh, fine, LLAAAADYYY.> The dragon sang out as he sharpened his claws on a rock, then pounced at the shelled creature, lashing out at him.

Finally it looked as if one of Tina's Pokemon was ready to be taken down; especially after she had struck so hard in the first turns of the battle. Seamus was pleased enough that he had his spikes layer kicking in, doing damage to the giant and fierce Druddigon that appeared on the field. It was a shame that she let him set up like that, but it would all help him in the end. He assumed so, at least. It was a rather loud mouthed Pokemon though, acting more giddy than its looks would have implied. Seamus kept a neutral face as he tried to figure out what the bright colored dragon was attempting to do while shaking his head, giving up on even trying that one. "Interesting character." It was the politest he could come up with as Xenon was clawed to the ground, fainting on impact.
"Heh. You did your part." He smiled a bit coldly as he returned Xenon, knowing that the Pokemon could faint multiple times and still be alive at the end of the day. Did he take Xenon for granted? Yes, all of the time. It wasn't something he realized yet though, slipping the Pokeball away for now as he winced at Steel getting hit with that fire fang. It was yet another Pokemon that looked ready to faint in an attack, but the ground type was able to stand his ground. The next Pokemon he sent out was a nervous looking Totodile, however she was gaining confidence in each of the Gym Battles she participated. So far, there hadn't been a match where he didn't use Ethyl.
"Get ready to hit them hard! Leer and Hone Claws!" He advised, knowing that Steel was going to faint soon, which would give Tina the advantage Pokemon wise. He had to make this turn count somehow. The Totodile gave Big Mac and Whooper a shy and reserved leer, as if she was reluctant to use it against them as Steel sharpened his claws to make his next attack even stronger and harder to dodge. "Rock Slide them. Ethyl, go for a Rage on the...Big Mac." He hesitated saying that. What, did Tina like fast food or something? Ethyl didn't like using this move very much, but she ran as fast as an alligator could on land towards the Druddigon and attempted to furiously swipe and bite at him, knowing that if she got attacked back, she'd only get stronger. Steel was busy with his own business, feeling exhausted as one arm felt cold, and the other was burning up. How was this normal at all?! The Drilbur grunted as he sent another wave of rocks at both foes, even if it would hardly damage the Steelix, it was worth using.

Gym Leader Tina ! Tina smiled a little at Seamus' compliment of her Druddigon, knowing that he was a pretty comical character herself. Big Mac managed to get the hit in, smashing the insect down to the ground. He stumbled backward after that, grinning goofily as Tina breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that it hadn't exploded. Now she could go all out. Neither of the Pokémon out on the floor were in critical condition yet, either. Her odds were looking favorable.
Both her Pokémon cringed at the Leer that Ethyl, unsure what to think of the reptile. She was cute, but those jaws and claws could be fearsome, and they knew not to judge power by size. The Rock Slide came suddenly, doing formidable damage to both foes. Steel's raised attack did well to make the attack worth something. Ethyl suddenly slithered towards Mac, but he managed to sidestep the attack with a cheeky grin. <Sorry about that hun~> The dragon type said with a wink.
"Whooper, Stealth Rock and Smack Down on Drilbur. Big Mac, Crunch the Totodile." Tina commanded, crossing her arms as she took a break from looking at the pokedex screen.
The enormous Steelix roared fearsomely as he whacked a huge boulder, breaking it into shards that then flew over to Seamus' side and set up for his fourth Pokémon when it came out. Then he grabbed a boulder and tossed it at Drilbur with a look of determination. He wanted FOOOD, and food only came when he was victorious.
Big Mac gave an apologetic look at the Totodile before grinning and tossing his dark gem into his jaws, chewing it up as easily as if it were a carrot. His jaws suddenly glowed a dark purple, evidence of the gem's power, as he leaned down toward the small crocodile and attempted to snap at her.

This was a pretty bad moment for Seamus's team; as the Stealth Rocks hovered overhead and he realized that whatever Pokemon he sent out next would be a victim to it, he had a grim smile on his face. Shame that Xenon was knocked out, otherwise he'd be able to Rapid Spin it out of the battle. His spikes were much stronger than Stealth Rock though, which didn't rely on type weaknesses to get through to its opponents. Hands in his pockets as he stared at the usage of items, he realized that he was going to have to improve his own team one way or another if they were ever going to get past the further gyms. He possibly had the level advantage; but Tina was smart.
Very smart girl. "You're very good at this. I'm curious, did you always live here?" He decided to ask, since he hadn't heard of her before the previous Gym Leader. At the most he was semi-aware that the old one had been replaced and didn't know much more than that, as he didn't have an interest in the gyms at the time. They were considered celebrities though, so he was surprised that she hadn't reached much fame before becoming a Gym Leader.
He winced as Steel was taken down from the attack of a Smack Down, knocked out and on the ground in complete exhaustion. Ethyl didn't have it much better; hit by a Crunch with the aid of a Dark Jewel, she looked angry. As long as rage was in effect, whether it missed or not, she was bound to get pissed off when she was hit. That was how the move worked. He could tell she was getting stronger as her claws seemed to visibly grow, giving her a scarier appearance. Honestly, why hadn't she evolved yet? Such a stubborn Pokemon. Returning Steel back into his Pokeball, he didn't need much thought in sending out his Magneton.
Neon was recently evolved, spiraling around her other forms as she appeared on the field with a shrill cry, determined to win it. "Dragon Dance and Aqua Tail on the Steelix. Thunderwave and Sonicboom on the Druddigon." The orders were quick, and they were executed with haste. The Totodile spun around with vigorous energy before her tail burst with water, charging after the focus banded Steelix with determination unlike her personality. Well, the rage would wear off soon. She'd be her self-conscious self in a bit. Neon fired off a weak jolt of electricity at the dragon type, before using a very neutral blast of sound at him as well. At least then type resistances wouldn't get in the way, and damage was damage.

Gym Leader Tina ! Tina gave the man a calculative look when he asked her the question, wondering if he was trying to distract her. But it was his turn, so she could spare an answer. "Thank you. And yes, I was. Born and raised." She replied in terse sentences, a bit distracted by the battle at hand. She knew not to allow her opponent to grab all of her attention.
<Woah girl, work that scowl.> The Druddigon remarked after taking one look at the Totodile's enraged face and growing claws. He hadn't seen that fierce of a Totodile in his life, well... probably since they'd all evolved into Croconaws by now. <You talk too much.> Whopper snapped, clearly grouchy because of his unsatisfied appetite. Big Mac merely let out a <Psssh> at him, not giving two shits.
<Pay attention.> Big Mac continued, steadying himself as he saw the trainer command his two Pokémon. The ferocious Totodile came quickly at Steelix - far too fast for a Pokémon of his slow nature to try and dodge. The Aqua Tail smacked into him hard and fast, laying him out on the ground and causing a small earthquake as he made contact with the earth. His Focus Band hadn't activated; it only had a small chance anyway. Tina hardly flinched at the feeling and outstretched his pokeball, calling him back into safety. Meanwhile, Big Mac kept his gaze narrowed on the Magneton. <Come at me, O Thunder Trio.> He bellowed, grinning a little at how awful that name was. Oh well, it was good for on the spot, he figured. Suddenly a weak bolt came at him, freezing his limbs, and the Sonicboom that came next did a fair amount of damage that type difference overlooked. <Ooh, your looks have paralyzed me!> He cried out dramatically. Too bad he really was paralyzed. Not like he could do anything about it.
Tina shook his head with a grin at her Druddigon's antics, then threw out her remaining Pokémon - a Torchic that was too busy napping to care that he'd been sent out. Rolling her eyes, Tina cupped her hands to her lips. "ELF, WAKE UP." She yelled. That was enough to cause the Torchic to snap his head up. <Eh? Whaaa? Keep it down, yer old wench.> The chick muttered as he stood up after an excruciatingly slow wait. Then he suddenly cracked his neck muscles and stared dead on at the challengers, as if blaming them for interrupting his sleep time.
Seeing that Big Mac was paralyzed for the turn, she had only Elf to command. "You know what to do." She merely said, and the old grouch of a Torchic rolled his eyes, tired of the move by now. To the unconcentrated eye he didn't do anything just then, but he'd formed a puppet out of some of his health points to take damage in his place.

So she was native to the city, interesting. Seamus took that note down in his head with a polite nod, not bothering to distract her much more. She seemed very intent on paying attention to the battle, which was also his cue that he should start noticing things as well. On the bright side, the Steelix had fainted. Finally both trainers were down to their last two Pokemon, which was a rather exciting thing to witness. The spikes took in effect, whether the Torchic noticed or not, which brought a small smile to the trainer's face. Xenon's traps could be helpful sometimes, even if they didn't hit all opponents, such as flying types. Torchic was a flightless bird though, so it wouldn't be able to escape from his trap.
Ethyl started to regain her senses as the rage quieted down and she lost her beneficial effects from them, looking up at the large Druddigon with a wince as he made comical jokes about her. She blushed, looking down in shame and embarrassment for going all out like that. It was terrible, having to use such a move like that. She realized how she got, she knew it! It was just...Seamus sometimes scared her enough to use it, even if she regretted it. She looked subconsciously at her trainer, who was busy musing to himself what to try next. There was a Torchic on the field too; about her size, which came as a surprise. Someone else that wasn't able to evolve, even at this level.
She frowned a little at the sight of the grouchy Torchic, then glanced up at Neon who seemed to be having a party with her new title. <Thunder Trio!> She repeated nonstop, seemingly amused at the Druddigon's attempt at humor. At least someone could have fun without caring about anyone else. <Heh...> The Totodile took a deep breath and sighed, trying to keep her cool as she looked at both opponents with unease.
"Supersonic and Thunderbolt on Elf, see what we can do." Seamus decided, finding it odd that yet again the Torchic wasn't attacking. It was the same as the rest of her Pokemon--what was up with that? Neon fired off a high pitched squeal at the fire chick, knowing that it had the potential to confuse before charging up with electricity. Now that she was evolved, she was definitely stronger as well. The Thunderbolt came like a camera flash, aiming swift and hard towards the substitute. "Leer at them, then use Ice Fang on Big Mac." Seamus was picking up on his foes names for once, and Ethyl found herself glaring at both of her opponents yet again. Maybe they'd take notice of her. Opening her mouth wide, ice began to form on her teeth as she wandered behind the paralyzed dragon, looking at his tail hungrily before attempting to bite on it.

Gym Leader Tina ! <Yeah, Thunder Trio!> The Druddigon called back to the Magneton, amused that she was so jubilant about the name. He smiled even though the paralysis was kind of painful. Whatever, he could deal with it. Suddenly their opponent commanded again, and the dragon felt the leering eyes of the spry little Totodile on him. <Aww, that's adorable, gurl.> He remarked, finding him letting his guard down despite how cute her angry face was. Then she suddenly crept behind him, and in his paralyzed state, he couldn't try to move. <Oaaaooooo!> He cried out with pain, regaining the control in his muscles just as her jaws clamped on his tail. That hurt like a mofo! He grabbed his tail and looked at it with a wince. It was in pretty bad shape, considering that he was a dragon type and was naturally weak to damage like that.
Meanwhile, the Torchic was completely oblivious to the Leer and Supersonic that were both directed towards his Substitute. As the Thunderbolt came, the old chick reacted quickly and hid behind his doll, which took all the damage before disintegrating. <Ehh, how useless.> He muttered, kicking at the ashes of the dead doll.
Tina realized that Ethyl was bad news for them, considering that she had attacks that were super effective against both her Pokémon. She decided that eradicating her first would be the best option, but well.. Elf didn't know many good moves aside from his fire attacks. What a conundrum. "Glare and Dragon Claw on Totodile. Elf, Sand Attack on Totodile and Flame Burst on Magneton." She decided.
<Behold, my new look: The Magnum!> The Druddigon cried out before aiming a steamy Glare at the miniature crocodile, intending to paralyze her. He then lashed out with his claws towards her, letting out a dragonesque growl in spite of himself as he used the move. Meanwhile, the Torchic shook his wing at the Druddigon. <Yer so loud, sonny! Gerroff my lawn!> He croaked. But he then remembered that Tina had commanded him, too. Smacking his lips together, he kicked a wave of sand at the Totodile. Then he crushed the Fire Jewel between his wings and let out a huge burst of flame towards Magneton that was bound to damage Ethyl a little as well.

Tina was striking hard yet again as the newest attacks were being brought out, and Seamus had to note how the Torchic was hardly affected by any attacks this turn. Not even confused, he had to wonder what in the world was going on. Oddly it was weaker than he expected as well, and it only became more of a mystery to him. What kind of phantom attack was Tina using against him? He had no idea, but it seemed to be helping her if the Torchic wasn't damaged this turn. It was probably some obscure move that he had never heard of, and looking it up on his Pokedex was pointless if he didn't even know the name of the attack.
Ethyl glanced up at the Druddigon's stare, feeling something going on that was unnaturally spiteful, however the distracting aroma of her Lax Incense helped her to avoid the normally inaccurate Glare. It was luck right there, as she was currently the target of both Pokemon. Soon she found herself dealing with a nasty looking gash to her chest, sand to her eyes, and a bit of additional flame as an added bonus. She didn't even ask for a side of fries! <Ugh...ugh...> She wobbled and whimpered, rubbing at her eyes as Seamus felt little pity towards her. She was one of his more reliable Pokemon now, and she had to start acting like it.
Neon had her own battle to deal with, taking the Flame Burst with a sudden squeal as she ran away from the flames. They got her though, boosted by the fire jewel as she found herself quickly weakening from the attacks. Ow! Ow! It hurt way too much for her tastes! She swiftly put up a Light Screen before anyone could protest, wanting the protection for future turns. Ethyl noticed the small sparkle of the screen surrounding her as well, giving Neon a thankful stare as she groaned from behind it in relief.
"Tackle Big Mac, Crunch on Elf." Seamus wasn't sure, but the Druddigon was looking weak. Maybe a Tackle was all they needed to take it out. Elf would need more work, but who knows. The Magneton let out a war cry as she burst after the dragon, still in pain from the flame burst as she tried to tackle him. Ethyl felt rather intimidated dealing with such a cranky Torchic, but she was going to try biting him anyways. <Um...where?> She asked hesitantly, then realized it didn't matter. Still, he was only a head and a body. This was gonna be weird. She tried to crunch his leg though, moving her head at an awkward angle with teary eyes to nip at it.

Gym Leader Tina ! Tina frowned a bit at the Light Screen her opponents put up; that would weaken her pokemons' potential quite a bit. Whatever; she could work her way around it. She always did. Looking at the field right now, she could tell that she and Seamus were closely matched. It was hard to say if she was going to win.
Big Mac winced as the Magneton suddenly flew at him, going for a Tackle. <Ha, a tackle!?> The dragon roared in half of an attempt to throw Neon off and half mockery. Finishing him with such a weak move... it insulted him quite a bit. But unfortunately, it was just barely enough to topple him over. Tina bit her lip from tension as she reached out his pokeball and recalled him back in it
Elf made her proud this turn. As the Totodile leaned in for the Crunch, he managed to jump out of the way with the help of her temporary blindness. <Can't see me, punk? Ha!> The chick taunted, becoming more confident now that Big Mac had fainted. He was a lone wolf at heart. Other pokemon just irritated him. "Low Kick the Magneton." Tina commanded, holding her breath. If she could knock out that metallic creature and survive the next move, she had a chance to win.
Elf obeyed, turning his attention to Neon with a creak of his neck. Though he was old, he still possessed the swiftness of a Torchic, and he kicked up the dirt as he raced towards the steel foe. Leaping, he attempted to kick the machine from beneath her.
