THAT caught her attention. Alexa catches her breath in her throat. Especially when 'Convenient position' is mentioned. She tries to say something but only lets a small 'eep' out. Noire may think she broke Alexa's brain a little! She turns flush and continues to fail to say words for another few seconds. Finally she gets something out.
"Y- Yes. Let's uhhh... yeah!"
She clears her throat after hitting a higher volume than she really meant to, and just quickly changes and then takes Noire's hand and leads her to the register so everything can be paid for, unable to say more at the moment. As they are paying, Noire does notice she's almost shaking with anticipation now, and clearly worked up in a good way.

Well. Apparently pushing Alexa's buttons was a hundred percent successful. She lets herself be pulled up to the register to pay for the costumes.
She leans in to whisper in Alexa's ear again - after they're done at the register. She's not that mean. "Guess I know how to get you worked up now. You like being teased, huh?" This is going in Noire's mental note file of "how to make Alexa happy." Although in this case "happy" might not be exactly the right adjective...

The two purchase their varied costumes for... 'varied' uses, and begin to head out.
Alexa blushes harder when Noire leans in for a whisper and turns back.
"I... maybe!"
She clears her throat.
"I said I like pushy Noire, didn't I? And you are really pushing and it's... doing things to me. That I like, in case you haven't noticed."
Alexa walks with Noire back home, hand in hand. They make it back to the ranch, and Alexa puts away all but the one outfit before dragging Noire into the room with her.
"Alright then, should I go ahead and put this on now?"
She pats the outfit bag next to her.

As you enter the challenge room, the walls shimmer brightly, and five doors open up, revealing five Greninja! They all take the field, ready to fight you as you figure out which is the 'real' one and KO it!

"Greninja, huh?" Noire rubs her chin and considers, regretfully, that half her team is pretty vulnerable to Water-types and Ordira still doesn't have a great way to hurt them. This is something she's going to have to address, at some point. For now... "One strong, one weak, each with a Ditto double, and a Zoroark. All right... we know how to handle water. Behold the world tree, Baobab!"
Baobab's neck stretches up... and up... and up, as his heads let out a battle cry in chorus. He won't be anywhere near as fast as the ninja Pokémon, but he might just be hard to bring down. Noire watches carefully to see which Greninja move together. "We're gonna need to keep all your eyes out, buddy! Will the real Greninja please stand up?"
Baobab's Init: 10

Noire grins. Of course, they couldn't make this easy on her. They all acted at different times, which she decides probably means that this is one from each Greninja-Ditto pair, and the Zoroark, though she could be mistaken. The one that attacked she provisionally eliminates as the Zoroark, because she doesn't think it can actually emulate the type-changing trick. Of course, it also rendered that specific one immune to Baobab's most effective means of ignoring the whole riddle and sorting things out with explosions. Very inconsiderate. That ghostly attack isn't exactly a love tap, but Baobab shakes it off - much more effectively than a Kanto-born Exeggutor would have done. Noire chuckles. "You want a tree to fall? It's gonna take more than that to bring him down, but since you ask so nicely... Baobab! Drop the hammer!" Baobab's babbling almost sounds like a laugh as he swings his long neck down, bringing his weight to bear on the one that attacked him and as many others as he can manage. Noire uses Focused and Brutal orders Baobab uses Dragon Hammer! Targeting #3 and any of the others I can catch in a Line 3 extending through it. AC 2 vs |XwH5Kw61d20+2, crit 17+ 3d10+49 Physical Dragon damage 1d20+2·3d10+49

The quick strikes batter Baobab's bark, but he stiffens up and powers through it, letting out a melodic growl. Noire can see there's not much more he can take, though, and makes a quick decision. She stabs a finger toward the most recent Greninja to attack Baobab. "Hit that one with an Energy Ball! Let's see if we can end this fast!"Noire spends 1 AP to trigger Pain Resistance vs the second Feint Attack. Noire uses Focused and Brutal Orders Baobab uses Energy Ball on #1 AC 2 vs mBr35RW91d20-1, crit 17+ 3d10+43 Special Grass damage 1d20-1·3d10+43

The attack unfortunately misses, and the frogs croak and cackle. 2 seems to ready itself and power up! 3 runs up and kicks! 4 also makes a substitute! 2 gains 1 stage in attack and accuracy

Startlingly, Baobab manages to weather that kick, though his trunk is certainly battered and he sways under the force. "C'mon, just hang on a little longer, buddy! See the guy powering up? I want you to give him a Dragon Hammer right in his froggy face!"Baobab does his best. He waltzes around the Greninja he's engaged with surprisingly nimbly for his size, then chatters and swings his long neck at the Greninja Noire called out. It's going to have to get through that Substitute, but Noire is mostly interested in getting in a good hit on the sucker. Noire uses Focused and Brutal Orders Baobab Disengages around #3, then attacks #2 with Dragon Hammer! (Baobab has Reach, but he'll use Line mode if that doesn't go far enough.) AC 2 vs PCjXUkJ_1d20+2, crit 17+ Baobab's Pure Blooded boosts the power of its Dragon-type move when HP is low! 3d10+54 Physical Dragon damage 1d20+2·3d10+54

Baobab is already falling when the first blow hits - and the retaliatory slash from the one he blasted cut somewhere deep into his wood. Noire recalls him quickly, wincing at the damage, but he stood longer than she expected against five opponents. "Okay, you want blades, I'll give you blades... Draw! Sky-cutting sword, Gyarmory!"Elegantua would probably do more damage to the Greninja, but she didn't have the defense to stand as long as Baobab had done. Gyarmory took the field with a screech like tearing metal, her toothed beak gaping at one of the frogs. "Skyaaaaa!""Let's finish this quick! Front and center, girl - Steel Wing!" Gyarmory fanned her wings and raced at the Greninja who'd lacerated Baobab, slashing with her razor-sharp feathers as she went past. For an encore she'd score any of the others foolish enough to stand right behind it. Gyarmory's init: 10 Noire uses Focused Orders as a Swift Action Gyarmory uses Intimidate on Greninja #1! Greninja #1's Attack fell! (-1 CS) Gyarmory uses Steel Wing! Targeting #2 and any others she can get within the 4 spaces of Pass range. AC 3 vs 8zydjNcO1d20+2, crit 18+, +1 Def CS for Gyarmory on 13+ (even on a miss, because Spirit Surge) 2d10+29 Physical Steel damage 1d20+2·2d10+29

Gyarmory is buffeted by entirely too much water - although she hunches her wings and the third attack sluices harmlessly off her feathers. Noire grits her teeth. She swears, her poor Skarmory has the worst luck. "Okay, new plan - blow the suckers away! Hit the one with the shurikens!"Gyarmory wheels around and beats her wings, feathers slicing through the air and sending cutting winds at the frog in question. Between that and it using Protean earlier, Noire is at least fairly sure she's actually attacking a Greninja. Noire spends 1 AP to activate Pain Resistance on the second attack. The third attack misses because the injury causes Gyarmory to gain +1 evasion. Noire uses Focused and Brutal Orders Gyarmory's Intimidate! -1 Attack CS to Greninja #3 Gyarmory uses Air Cutter on Greninja #3 - it's a cone 2 so any of the others next to #3 get hit as well AC 2 vs |JRjHnhj1d20+2, crit 15+ 2d8+20 Special Flying damage 1d20+2·2d8+20

Gyarmory is badly battered but not out yet, and Noire is stuck recalculating frantically. She could have sworn that's the one that changed type. No, wait, crap, Ditto can copy abilities, can't it? Just not quite as easily as shapes. But with that one down, she's narrowed it down to two of them that could be the Zoroark... and she's pretty sure she's close to eliminating one of them. "Okay, retargeting! Go in for another pass on the blades on that guy!" She points to the one whose Substitute broke before, the one that seems to be powering up now. Even if it turns out to be the Zoroark, at least that gets it out of the way. Gyarmory flares out her wings and charges. "Skyaaaa!"Noire uses Focused and Brutal Orders Gyarmory uses Steel Wing, targeting #2 AC 3 vs 1gPlljmI1d20+2, +1 Def CS for Gyarmory on 13+ whether it hits or not 2d10+29 Physical Steel damage 1d20+2·2d10+29

Well it was a fifty-fifty shot. Unfortunately, that Feint Attack is enough to get through Gyarmory's armor and take her down. Noire grits her teeth and recalls her with a sigh. "Two to two is a fair trade, I guess. Now let's see if we can finish this!"She zeros in on the one that just took out Gyarmory, which had been her other candidate for the Zoroark. She's been watching - it's the fastest. Which makes her think, with the fox gone, that it's her best bet for her target. And of the rest of her team... Anguihorn and Larya are both far too weak to water, and Elegantua couldn't stand up under the physical assault. So it's time for the big guns. "There's blood in the water now! Come, queen of the monsters, Ordira!"Ordira's not ideal for the task, since most of her best moves won't be great against a Greninja, but she's got the best shot at staying standing. "Dead ahead, your majesty! Go for the legs!" Ordira bellows and charges at her target, throwing her full weight at Greninja #1! Noire uses Focused and Brutal Orders Ordira's init: 10 Ordira uses Flail on Greninja #1 AC 2 vs GK2yNoJ51d20+2, crit 17+ 2d10+38 Physical Normal damage 1d20+2·2d10+38
