Kai let's Theo have his time with Ayah, only offering a brief confirmation. "Once my team get's out, I'm down for right away!" Whenever they actually get out, he does a minor bit of training, mostly making sure his team is all prepped for the gym, it was hard deciding his team, and even now he was still on the fence about his choices...

Ayah marvels at the brilliance of the cores, though she's initially very confused at the Minior being just brown. Her confidence and wonder sort of falters a little bit as things get more personal - she seems not as used to attempts at being romantic or anything like that as Theo. But, no bridges were burned nor relationships sundered, so, it all turns out okay. And there's still the hot springs at some point, too.
But, first, the Gym. It seems to be a massive building, sticking into the nearby volcano, with only a bare amount of the metal façade sticking out. A sign inside, though, reveals the reason why. The entrance branches off, with a sign indicating the main path leads to the Fallarbor Geothermal plant, while the other way is how one gets to the gym.
Despite the proximity to the volcano, the inside of the building is rather cool, though it warms as the pair descends down towards the Gym. There's nobody waiting to greet them - just a small waiting area, and a set of doors with a green light overhead. Sweeping in, there's a slight ping - the light seeming to switch to red as they pass, and they enter a small cavern, the arena looking very natural - and very hot. Standing across from the pair is a fiery-haired woman, arms crossed, looking confident.
"Welcome, challengers," she says, voice carrying. "I am Flannery, Scion of Flame, Lady of the Volcano, and I welcome your battle. Down here, beneath the crushing earth, in the sweltering heat, we shall forge strength in the crucible of battle. Tell me your names, challengers, and boast of your prowess! I wish to hear of your exploits, so that we may fight to our best."

Theodore had removed his hat out of respect for a woman being present, but donned it again when she introduced herself in terms of titles, his eyebrow raising as a smile crossed his face. That was certainly something. She wanted them to hype themselves up, sure. "Name's Theodore, Deadeye, Ascendant of the Infinite Tower. This'll be our third gym challenge." He replied in good humor. "We've routed some of the oldest haunts in the region, traversed the deepest points of the desert, and climbed to the highest point in the falls!"

Kai wasn't entirely sure how to respond, but seeing as Theo went along with it, he was gonna at least try and play along. "Oh, uh... I'm Kai, Born of Water and Flame, and Dancer of Wela's Ashes!" He was blushing a bit, looking off to the side, nowhere near Theo or the gym leader. It was weird coming up with stuff on the spot.
"We also fought the... Shaman of Petalburg?"

"Ahahaha," Flannery laughs, "Excellent. Not everyone likes to play this game, I'm glad. But you're going to have to bring a lot of water to face me. For my fiery passion burns brighter than the sun! So bring the heat!" On the cavernous floor, she releases a bubbling slug of lava, as well as a twittering red and white bird. The Weather is Sunny.
Release up to halfway up the field. Map

Kai pulls out a pokeball, releasing his water Pokemon onto the field. She said bring lots of water, so he might as well comply with that. "Let's douse them, Kele!"The great water serpent wasted no time in showing off his beautiful scales, trilling a bit as it gets ready to go into combat. Initiative Kele 10

Theodore considered the high sun, the water serpent, and the presence of the bird with narrowed eyes, shielding his face against the sun. Water never took to crops well in this weather, and fires were always a risk. Time to try something risky, before that bird picked apart his precious plants. "Australis, yore up."
Releasing a spinning stone with two hollow eyes, the deadeye weighed his options. (Init 11)

"Well, that's certainly a strong-looking start," Flannery says, amused. "But let's see how well they handle the heat. Comet, show that meteor who's really a star."The firebird in question flares up, surrounded by fire, and careens towards Australis. A brief trail of flames is left as the avian crashes into the rock-type, leaving a serious mark despite the type disadvantage and the Minior's shell. Flannery binds Incandescence to both her 'mon.
Fletchinder uses Accelerate. Minior takes 26 damage from Fire!Flail.

"Alright, Let's start with some prep work! Keep your eyes on the prize!" While Kai sent out his encouragement, it wouldn't actually help much. Kele coiled up, before hopping over just a bit, Maintaining it's coiled shape in case it needs to dodge. It let out a loud note, a ring of water forming around it, giving off a cool and refreshing aura. Kai Used Focused Orders Kele Used Splash for +2 Evasion Kele Used Aqua Ring

"Careful now, you split that rock you're in for a bad time, fire or no fire. Australis, Ancient Power!" Lighting with a myriad of colors, the meteor spun, chunks of stone from outside of the arena lobbing themselves onto the firebird in retaliation.
(Theodore binds Trick Shot and issues Brutal Orders, Australis hits with Ancient Power for 30 Rock Physical)

The rocks batter the firebird, clearly causing some pain... but it's not enough. The bird shrieks in pain, before charging up once more to attack. It's clear that there's a fair bit more power behind it, but the bird seems to have exhausted much of its energy, so it's not quite as vicious, and it seems like it's given most of what it's got. In the meantime, the Slugma, supercharged by the heat, causes balls of magma to rise from it's body before chucking them at Kele. The Milotic, though, is fairly sturdy, and so absorbs much of the attack with little issue. Fletchinder takes 2 injuries from Ancient Power. It's super effective! Milotic takes 22 damage from Fire!Ancient Power.
Flannery uses Type Refresh. Fletchinder uses Accelerate. Minior takes 26 damage (again) and an injury from Flail.

The second blow from Fletchinder splits the Minior wide open, revealing a red glowing core with swirling eyes that only picks up speed as it attempts to bowl over the bird, tearing at the substrate before turning and powering up to fire another volley of rocks. (Minior transforms to Core Form, misses with Rollout, and connects with Ancient Power if not defeated by round end, for 44 Rock Special)

"Come on, Kele! Time to let'em have it!"Milotic feels the heat, but it's cool water douses that pain. It twists and coils before hopping just a tiny bit closer to the slug and firing off a blast of water at it. Brutal Orders Splash +2 Evasion Water Pulse AC 2 Acc 6 52 Water Special Damage

The bird nimbly flies around the meteors first strike, as the Slugma is severely tempered by the water, steam emanating from its body. It flares up again, though, and launches more flaming spheres at Kele. It's still not terribly effective. Australis' second shot fells the bird at last, though, spiralling out of the air. "Well, you've certainly got something going for you," Flannery says, vaguely sardonically, before grinning. "I'm just getting started, though."
Slugma takes 2 injuries from Hydro Pump. It's super effective! Flannery uses Type Refresh on Slugma. Milotic takes 27 damage from Ancient Power.
Fletchinder Faints from Ancient Power.

"Well, it does seem as though you've come prepared," Roxanne says, slightly frowning, as the Slugma falls. "But, I'm still not done, of course. There's plenty of time to flare up again." She tosses out a pair of Pokémon, who immediately leap into action - a crimson humanoid who slams into Australis and forces the core to the ground, and a black and red canine that bites Kele before snarling. The Milotic is still up at the end of the assault, but the Minior isn't able to keep flying, and pulses weakly. Slugma Faints from Water Pulse.
Roxanne uses Brutal Training on both. Kele takes 40 damage from Bite. Australis takes 49 32 damage, 2 injuries, and Faints from Cross Chop.

"Australis come on back y'hear, Ranger you're up!" Releasing his prized badge, Theodore glances between the little humanoid and the hound. The sun was still pounding away, it was a wonder the water types were doing so well. "Get ready fer a shootout."

The Houndoom snarls as it's hit by the water, but it's still on its feet. It lunges in for another bite, but isn't quite able to fell the serpent either. Houndoom takes 2 injuries from Water Pulse. It's super effective! Kele takes 32 damage from Bite.

"Let's try to finish that hound dog off with a Brine, Ranger." A sizeable cascade of water billowed forth of the spinning star, but rolled wide of the dog. Theodore wrinkles his nose and considers the small humanoid.
