Donovan stifled a laugh "Mica, Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere and weather, not space. That's astronomy."
Walking up to the receptionist he smiled and nodded his head in greeting "Hi, we were hoping to challenge the gym today. Uh Since I know it matters, we have two badges so far"

"Ah, excellent," the receptionist says, his face lighting up, "we were a little worried that we might not get many challengers this season. Grand. I'll inform Mister Winter of your arrival, and pass along the pertinent details. Take a seat and get comfortable while you wait."It's about ten minutes before the receptionist informs the two that "You may enter the Gym now," gesturing off to the side of the desk, where a pair of doors had slid open. Entering through, the two walk across a metal catwalk, overlooking a medium-small arena, much like the other gyms they've seen. Though, this one seems far more... clinical. Polished metallic surfaces all around, reflecting the bright lights from above - it's rather to bright to really look upwards, even. Across the way is a distinguished looking older man, not a hair out of place on his snow-white hair or neatly trimmed moustache. Leaning across the edge of his own catwalk, he calls out, his voice echoing. "Well, well. Welcome. I'm glad that you've arrived. I always enjoy youngsters testing their mettle here." He grins. "I am Augustus Winter, and I will be your opponent today. To defeat me, you must learn to weather any eventuality. But... before we begin, tell me, youngsters. What is the sight that you've seen on your journey that has filled you with the most awe?"MapPlace your 'mon anywhere below the center line.

"Probably going inside the temples for the first time, on account of doing something that nobody else could, but nobody believes that so probably when we went to the last gym up on the mountain and got to see how the land sprawls in all directions." Mica replied non-committedly, with a distant expression on her face. After she and Donovan gave their answers, she made eye contact with the gym leader. "You're a lot older then us though, what's yours?"

Donovan winced as Mica brought up going inside the Temples again, she really needed to stop doing that. He tapped his chin in thought before speaking " I think seeing the Bay of Lightning for the first time inspired the most awe in me. The way the water mixed with the....well I'm still not sure how the physics behind it work but the entire place was amazing. Especially going from the center of it on the back of a Milotic." He released Aster near the center of the stage " Mr Winter, my name is Donovan Fleur. My friend in the center there is Aster. We're gonna win now, if you don't mind." He winks at the older man before turning to Mica "Alright Mica, lets do this first try" Donovan releases Aster and will be Binding Sunlight Within as soon as possible. Aster is at init 16, 32 when Sunlight Within goes off

"I'm Mica LaBrasta, and this is one of my best friends, his name is Ham!" The Quagsire appeared in a flash of light, and to announce itself let out a big-mouthed "AAaaaaggg!" before looking around placidly, gently drumming on his middle.

The Gym leader chuckles at Mica. "Excellent. You've got a vivid imagination, a good eye for sights, and the mind to ask questions." He leans against the rail in front of him. "For me, it was probably the sunset on the evening of my wedding, watching it with my wife. A beautiful end to such a wonderful day, with the knowledge of many happy years ahead of me. And I don't regret a single one of them."Augustus grins. "So, with that in mind, win or lose, let's have ourselves a good time. Good luck!"He releases a large armoured bug with finned wing-y protrusions on its back, and a gently dancing happy cactus thing with what looks to be a fancy coat. From above the battlefield, there's suddenly a rushing sound, and a torrent of rain begins to pour down. "Let's set the snow and cold outside aside for now, and have ourselves a little springtime, alright?"The weather has become Rainy. Aster goes first.

"Rain, Snow, Sleet none of it will slow us down! Aster get over to that cactus after leaving a little gift for the bug" Donovan calls out, confident in his Pokemon. That confidence was somewhat short lived as the seeds fired off to the side of the opponent. Aster was able to deftly move next to the Maractus however. Leech seed miss with a 3 vs AC4

Aster stands staunchly in front of the Maractus, staring down at the plant. The flowering cactus seems unconcerned, and does a little dance, before covering itself in a thick wooly coat of cotton, giving it a heavy layer of padding. The Armaldo takes a much more proactive approach, choosing to move behind the Sawsbuck and give it a chomp on the back with its sharp fangs. While the deer isn't down, it certainly is hurting. Aster misses with Leech Seed. Maractus uses Cotton Guard. Maractus gains 3 CS in Defense. Aster takes 48 damage and 2 injuries from Bug Bite. It's super effective! (With Enduring bloom, it's 33 damage, no injury instead.)

"Alright Ham, let's start by showing off your Water Gun!" (Agility Trained and Ordered, Ham's Initiative is 12). The Pokemon bulges his cheeks outward into massive twin spheres and releases a small stream of water at the Armaldo before waddling towards Mica as far as he can.

The stream of water jets from Ham's mouth, heading straight for the Armaldo… before it suddenly curves, spiralling in around the Maractus, before finally splashing on the thing's face, seemingly invigorating it. "Rain, snow, or sleet?" Augustus asks, after having witnessed the action. "Well, tell me then... you seem strong, but are you prepared for the desolation of summer?"With that, the deluge from above stops. Suddenly a wind whips up, blowing grit and debris all around the stadium, even as the lights above shine on. Maractus triggers Storm Drain. Ham's attack is redirected. Maractus gains +1 Sp. Atk CS. The Weather is now Sandstorm.

" Change the weather as much as you want, won't stop us!" Donovan calls out across the battlefield. Aster moves out of the pincer attack before attempting to take out the cactus and not quite being able to do it. Donovan uses Focused Training
Aster disengages and then uses Take Down but misses

"Ham get in close!" The Quagsire stared at Mica, blinking its beady eyes for a moment before waddling up to the front lines. "Now as loud as you can, AAAAAA!" A brief pause, the pokemon's posture straightening before it inhaled, and inhaled, and inhaled. Then bellowed with enough force that the windows in the building shook.

"Oh, don't worry," Augustus says, chuckling, "the seasons will change, and change, and keep on changing..."Anything further that he says, though, is drowned out by the colossal scream coming from Ham. The sonic waves scream through the Maractus and Armaldo, ignoring their significant padding, and push them backwards. Neither looks very happy, though they're still more-or-less all right. "So, split up after that. Don't want it to happen again."The Maractus dusts itself off, before firing a burst of needles at Aster, twirling as it does so. The pins find their target, getting through to the valiant deer, and causing him to fall. The Armaldo proceeds to advance back up to Ham, looking peeved. It glares at the Quagsire, before slamming its tail into the thing. The happy, blue Pokémon doesn't even seem to show on its face that its been hit. It just stares at the big bug, smiling, blinking. Maractus is hit by Hyper Voice. Armaldo is hit by Hyper Voice. It's not very effective. Aster takes 52 damage from Pin Missile, 2 injuries, and Faints. Ham takes 21 damage from Aqua Tail.

Aster was done without actually being able to do anything again. Donovan would really need to rework the way he fought at this rate. Nothing seemed to go anything according to plan and brute force seemed to be the only effective method. With a flick of his wrist, he recalled Aster and released Dandelion, the Combee fluttering up past where the Sawsbuck had fallen. Listening to what Donovan thought, the little hive released a swarm of smaller bugs made of energy that swarmed the Maractus before scattering on the wind, with Dandelion having moved in the chaos as well. Dandelion swapped for Aster.
Dandelion uses Struggle Bug with a 17 vs AC2 for 31 Special Bug Damage and lowers Maractus's Special Attack by 1 stage
Dandelion activates Celebrate to disengage 2 meters as a Swift Action

"Guess we can't leave that cactus alone for anything... go after it Ham, with everything you've got!" The salamander makes another loud sound, his poisonous skin shrugging off both armaldo's watery tail and the successive blow, and even looking to heal itself some as it charges down the cactus and headbutts it.

The Maractus, breathing hard, is still standing after Dandelion's attack, but Ham's weight puts it down for good. Dandelion's in bad shape, though, after Armaldo tosses some rocks at him. The sand abruptly stops blowing, and the lights from above grow even more intense. "Well, it looks like Autumn has come," Augustus says, "so, I suppose now's a good time to go buck wild." He winks, and releases a deer much like Aster - though with a jacket - who charges into Dandelion, knocking the bug out. Maractus takes an injury from Struggle Bug. It's super effective! Maractus Faints from Slam. Dandelion takes 49 damage and 2 injuries from Ancient Power. Armaldo takes Poison damage.
The Weather changes to Sun.
Dandelion takes 37 damage, an injury, and Faints from Feint Attack.

Donovan nearly screamed in a mix of pain and anger as Dandelion went down in a turn. He didn't wanna think about this anymore. He just wanted to hurt them back. Recalling his bug, he sent out Larkspur, the Tauros hesitating as it saw the fight for a moment. " Lark, I need you to hit them hard and fast. Show that deer what your horns feel like!" The Tauros started to move backwards, as if it was going to try and hide from the fight, before charging forward and catching the Sawsbuck with one of its horns in its side. Sending out Larkspur the Tauros. Larkspur has init 18
Horn Attack with a 19 vs AC 2 for 47 Physical Normal damage

"Alright Ham... YOU DIDN'T GET FAR ENOUGH MISTER WINTER! AAAAAAAA!" At Mica's yell, Ham perks up visibly and echoes the sentiment at a magnitude of volume higher, once again massively disturbing the arena and the pokemon caught in the sonic blastwave.

The combined power of the two Pokémon leads to the Sawsbuck crumpling, though the Armaldo weathers the sonic assault before swinging back around with its tail, splashing into Ham. The bright lights suddenly dim, as a frigid wind and pelting hail begins to cover the battlefield, as Augustus takes a moment to choose his next Pokémon. A white floating blob emerges, before shaping itself into a purple-grey cloud. Sawsbuck takes 2 injuries from Horn Attack. Sawsbuck takes 2 injuries and Faints from Hyper Voice. Armaldo is hit by Hyper Voice. It's not very effective. Ham takes 26 damage and an injury from Aqua Tail. Armaldo takes an injury from Poison.
The Weather is now Hail.

"Lark, keep at it" Donovan calls out. He didn't think he stood a chance, but just like the last gym, he wasn't going to give in until the last second. The Tauros shivers in the hail for a moment before charging forward and goring the cloud Pokemon as well. Horn Attack 16 vs AC2 for 34 Normal Physical damage
