"Oh, no no no," the girl says, "You can bring in whatever you want to wear for either your or your Pokémon, if you prefer. Doesn't need to just be one. We just have a huge selection for those who don't generally partake in accessorizing."
"And, yes, it's like contests. Except battling!"
"Don't worry, Bee," Rainbow says, putting a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure you'll be fine."
The desk lady shows Bea to a giant room full of rows of clothes and accessories - mostly for Pokémon, but there are some for her as well. "If you need a hand, just holler."
There's cute ribbons and flowers, beautiful dresses for various body sizes and shapes of Pokémon, different professional outfits, bows, muscle bands, punk outfits... so many things, it's rather dizzying.

Bee takes much longer to prepare for this battle then she might have any other. Not for lack of trying to be expedient, but it turned out that bugs were rather particular about not being restricted in their movements. Solenoid had perhaps been the least picky, but was thrilled with the concept of something that improved its vision. Satisfied with her choices for her Pokemon, Bee then had to decide on an outfit for herself. It needed to be something that tied the ensemble together, but the buggyness of her Pokemon was really the only...
Oh.
Was this what 'sacrifices for fashion' meant?
When she announced she was ready, it was with a great deal of uncertainty. When she took to the stage, it was a shade of pink that matched her new 'fairy girl' outfit. The pair of lace, sequin, glittery wings set behind a shimmering top and knee length bell-skirt, hose, and ballet slippers. A pair of fake spiral antennae in a headband perched atop her head.

There's a momentary bit of waiting for Bea to get more nervous in while the attendant gets the Gym Leader ready, which probably seems far longer than it is, but at last she's ready to go on stage. Battlefield. Whatever. Stepping out, there's a massive spotlight shining down, and a cheering crowd that seems excited to see her. "Challenging for her fourth Badge," a male announcer calls out, "from the sleepy town of Fallarbor, Miss Beatrice LaBrasta! Here to bring some of that small time charm to the big city! And just look at that lovely ensemble. She seems so light that she could just fly away, or twirl around in a cloud of fairy dust! Let's all give her a warm Mauville welcome!" There's a pause while the crowd applauds and cheers out at her, before the light fades, to move to the other side. The woman from the posters walks out, in an outfit that could best be described as 'regally draconic'. A long, flowing, scaled robe, lots of purples, and imperious makeup... clashing with her demeanor, which breaks from haughty to waving at the crowd and Bea almost immediately. "And our own fashionable icon here, as dazzling on the stage as off, from the heart - and winning the hearts - of Mauvile… Miss Ellis Dee! Her creativity knows no bounds, and I'm sure we all look forwards to seeing how our challenger handles this!""Thank you all! Regardless of what happens here today, I'm sure it will be done with some flair," Ellis says, grinning at Bea. "It's showtime! Let's see what style you've brought!"Onto the field, she releases a Slowpoke - wearing a lab coat (much like Bea's own), safety goggles, and other various technical-looking accessories - followed swiftly by a purple slime pool... completely covered with glitter, and flowing sinuously in a way that actually looks quite dazzling.

Clearing her throat, Beatrice sweeps her arm, releasing two balls, their inhabitants appearing side by side in center field. Solenoid in his fine silk top hat, and three gold monacles, each with their own short chain attaching to the sash of the hat. Beside it, wearing a fine graduate's cap with the tassel swept to one side, was Baeid. "My best and brightest, of course! Solenoid, a light screen to begin please!" She replies after gently clearing her throat. A flickering sheen ripples in layers between Beatrice's Pokemon and their opponents.
"Baied, give Solenoid a charge and get in close! We're going to show that Slowpoke how cool you can be."
With a surge of power over its body that arcs up into Solenoid, Baied goes scurrying forward, wreathed in power as it plows into the smart looking Slowpoke.
(Slowpoke takes 38 Cool Damage, and Solenoid's next special attack is boosted by Battery.)

The Slowpoke seems to think for a moment, unperturbed, before a lightbulb seems to flash in its brain, and a wreath of power converges around the Charjabug, causing the electricity to spark out, before the bug is walloped by a blast of psychic energy. "You've got some smart plays there," Ellis says, "but we can play smart, too!"The Grimer also thinks, before spitting up a globule of mud to cover the electric insect with, dousing it in filth. Thankfully it's able to be shaken off, but... still, not a good showing to the audience. Slowpoke is hit by Spark. It's super effective! Spark is Disabled. Charjabug takes 19 damage from Mud Bomb. Charjabug takes 16 damage and an injury from Confusion.

"Now we'll go for maximum Cool Solenoid! Get in close and show off with a Thundershock! Floating ahead to be beside Baied, Solenoid gave a little twirl, magnetically releasing its monacles for a moment and repositioning the hat on a new magnet before unleashing an incredible blast of lightning on the Slowpoke.
(55 Cool Special)
"Now Baied, let's give Solenoid another charge and throw some of that mud off with your Acrobatics!" With a small buzzing chirr, electricity arcing from it once more to the Magneton, the Charjabug scurried over to the grimer, lunging at it, twirling, rebounding, and jetting about with silken threads until it has at last exhausted itself from the assault.
(8 Acc AC 2, 33 Smart Physical)

The Slowpoke drops, electricity crackling around it, and Ellis frowns before recalling it. The Grimer's body is disturbed some by Baied's attack, glitter going everywhere, before it retaliates with another grimy glob. It seems like the bug might not last much longer. "Well, the opening act was a bit of a bust," Ellis says, "so let's let the star out!" She releases a Pokémon that... seems to be covered in a bit of a sheet. From underneath, and as it shifts, it's clearly lizard-y, but there's not really an obvious anything about it. Peculiar. Slowpoke faints from Thunder Shock. Grimer is hit by Acrobatics. It's super effective. Charjabug takes 18 damage from Mud Bomb.

"Hold off for just a moment Solenoid, we'll give Baied the chance to set the stage for something a little more advantageous." Beatrice continues to issue her orders in sequence. Solenoid holds till immediately after Baied. Baied leads into Grimer with Bug Bite for 35 Tough Physical. "Solenoid, let's give her star the spotlight it deserves with a Mirror Shot!"
A gleam rolling over the surface of the Magneton builds at its fore and then coalesces in a beam of silver light that explodes into flashes and flares on striking its target. (49 Cute Special and Kecleon takes -2 Accuracy Stages)

The Grimer gets gnawed on, and seems to be flagging... but, it's not done yet, nor is the Kecleon, who sits unexpressive under the barrage of light. "The spotlight is appreciated, dear," Ellis says, "for it's showtime, Stardust." The sheet gets thrown off by the lizard, revealing a covering in a cute array of ribbons and flowers. "What see we make a studio of our own, no?"The lizard waits for the pile of glitter to make its move, hitting Baeid once again and finally causing the battery to go down... before giving a little dance and twirl, as the world around seems to twist. And Ellis' two Pokémon seem much more at home. The Grimer unleashes another attack, splattering Solenoid, before the Kecleon twirls and turns its outfit into slick, movie-staresque clothes, oozing style. It leaps forwards, and gives an impressive chop to the Magneton, the magnet only surviving intact due to its hard exterior. Grimer takes an injury from Bug Bite. It's super effective! Kecleon is hit with Mirror Shot. Kecleon delays until after Grimer. Charjabug takes 28 damage, an injury, and Faints from Mud Shot. Kecleon changes to the Cute Type! Kecleon uses Trick Room. Magneton takes 28 damage from Mud Bomb. Kecleon changes to the Cool Type! Magneton takes 35 damage (after Sturdy) and 2 injuries from Brick Break.

"Oh well played... Solenoid, you're on your own for the moment, slip to the side and give that glittery menace another Thunder Shock!" The Magneton floats idly to one side and discharges an impressive blast from each of its magnets. Grimer takes 53 Cool Special Damage. With her attack loosed, she switches Baied for Crassi, and binds iterative evolution.
The Scorpion raises its tail and unleashes volley after volley of needles at the Kecleon, one to scare it but the rest find their mark and how. Kecleon takes 56 Cool Physical Damage.

Both the sludge puddle and the lizard swiftly fall, Ellis' face along with them. But, she has hope yet, as the Leader calls out a Stunfisk wearing a sharp suit and dark shades, who shoots a crackling bolt of electricity into Solenoid, dazing and knocking the magnetoid down for the count. Emerging from another ball next to Crassi is a Clefairy with a tooth filed to a point, and a thick leather jacket. It takes a 'hmph'ing look at Crassi, before whaling repeatedly on the scorpion, doing some damage. Grimer Faints. Kecleon Faints. Solenoid takes 24 damage, an injury, and Faints from Thunder Shock. Crassi takes 21 damage from Double Slap.

"Bylii it's your turn!" Beatrice releases the fairy onto the edge of the field and immediately regrets it as the insect flits around her, examining every angle with excited cries. Blushing and stammering, she has to insist the fairy get back into position. "Crassi, skirt the thugfairy and give its well dressed friend a Poison Tail!" Stinger aglow, Crassi scuttles around the Clefairy and its abuse, slamming its appendage into the flat fish. "Bylii, Silver Wind!"
With a twirl that sets its billowy dress fanning out around it, Bylii releases a wave of silvery glitter on the Clefairy Deloria. (29 Smart Physical to Stunfisk, 38 Beauty Special to Clefairy).

"Well, isn't that adorable," Ellis says, winking as Bylli's antics occur. "You certainly picked a good outfit, I'd say."
Momentary distraction over, the dance continues, both the glittering powder and the toxic tail seeming to be particularly effective. The Clefairy pushes through the wind to try singing... but the tones that it sings really aren't that soothing. The Stunfisk fires off a bolt of electricity at Crassi, before blending into the floor, leaving only sunglasses indicating where it is. Stunfisk is hit by Poison Tail. It's super effective! Skorupi is paralyzed by Static. Clefairy is hit by Silver Wind. It's super effective. Clefairy misses with Sing. Bylli is Slowed and takes a -2 penalty to evasion for a round. Skorupi takes 22 damage and an injury from Thunder Shock. Stunfisk triggers Blender.

Crassi can't seem to pin down the Stunfisk after its disappearing act with the floor, seemingly vexed by the moving outfit and trollish laughter accompanying the missed strike, but the barrier that yet remains stops some of the brunt of the fish Pokemon's attack at least. Bylii winds up with another glitter-wind at the glitter weak greaser. It never washes out of a leather coat. (Clefairy takes 36 Beauty Special, Bylii and Crassi both have Iterative Evo bound now).

The Clefairy seems to be riled up from the glitter, but doesn't manage to make contact with the flittering bug. On the other hand, Crassi, who can't seem to land a hit, gets shocked in turn by the grin on the floor as it wriggles about. Clefairy takes an injury from Silver Wind. It's super effective! Clefairy misses with Double Slap. Skorupi takes 15 damage after DR from Thunder Shock. Stunfisk uses Blender.

"I just-" Bee cut herself off, seeming to forget for a moment that they were in front of an audience, her reddening skin reaching from her collar to her hair now. "Bylii really likes it when I get into something... and she's been doing so well." Shaking off what she could of her embarrassment as her Pokemon continued to fight in earnest.
Crassi finally manages to land another hit on the moving sunglasses, and Bylii continues her veritable storm of iridescent powder, the floor sparkling in wild patterns under the lights from the spread of it. (Clefairy takes 39 Beauty Special, Stunfisk takes 31 Smart Physical)

"Oh, don't be ashamed of it," the Leader says, grinning. "Strut your stuff."The Clefairy, under the glitter barrage, claws forwards before falling, but the Stunfisk is still going strong. It zaps Crassi, who falls at last, as Ellis releases a Machoke, muscles flexing underneath its dress of ribbons and bows. Despite the cute look, though, it still looks like it can kick someone's face in. Unfortunately (for it), Bylli is too nimble, and the kick misses. The twisting of space seems to begin to fade. Clefairy faints from Silver Wind. It's super effective! Stunfisk is hit. It's super effective!
Crassi takes 6 damage, an injury, and Faints from Thunder Shock. Stunfisk uses Blender. Machoke misses with Low Sweep.

"S...strut my..." Bee looked very much like her head could explode any moment. "I've never strutted a day in my life! Bylii, wrap up that fish. Tempu, make some space for our favorite girl."
Bylii struck, and once more with an incredible surge of speed as the dimensions untwisted, downing the Stunfisk after making herself a little room from the well muscled Pokemon. Tempu buzzed and batted himself against the giant creature but gained no headway.

Ellis laughs and grins at Bea. "Well, no time like the present, eh?"She recalls her Stunfisk, before the Machoke flexes and chops Bylli with a hand almost as large as the bug is. The Ribombee hurridly tries to right itself, and does eventually manage to, but is clearly exhausted as its opponent gives a bow to the audience. Stunfisk Faints. Bylli takes 45 damage and 2 injuries from Karate Chop.

"How... would one even...?" There is no processing anything, any sense of poise and control Beatrice had coming into this fight in her outfit was breaking down at Ellis' urgings, Tempu and Bylii coordinating with each other for their devastating staple attacks, a series of glowing lights surrounding Tempu as he chomps down amorously on the cute Machoke's muzzle.
(49 Smart Special, 42 Tough Physical)
