"A good answer, yes, but do not lose yourself in the pursuit of the future that you forget to enjoy the now." He hakes his head. "A balance must be had. Neither grow complacent nor unappreciative."He releases a pair of small Pokémon onto the field, similar but distinct. Both are rodents, but one is red with plusses on its body, while the other is blue with minuses. They're both equally cheerful, though, letting off sparks and giving happy noises. "Now, then, Challenger. Show me that you have improved such to be worthy of this badge!"Map

A smile curled at the edges of her mouth. Only in moments of reflection did she realize just how important her time with Rainbow had become. The minutes leading up to this one having seemed so short despite how they stretched on for weeks. "May as well lead with a strong offense then. Nomus, Dynast, you're up!" Beatrice released her two bugs and prepared for a fight. "We'll lead with a First Impression for a strong offensive start!" Beatrice binds Iterative Evolution, and Nomus rushes Minun, slamming a massive claw into the small rodent for 52 Bug Physical.

Nomus strikes true, leaving a huge gash on the side of the Minun, who squeals in pain and pouts. The sparks coming off of it, though, jump to Nomus, leaving him locking up some. The Minun doubles down, nuzzling up close to him, which wracks his muscles in a terrifying freeze, while the rodent carefully dances backwards away from retribution. The red mouse, seeing its partner being beaten on, seems to psych itself up before unleashing a beam of energy upon the Heracross opposite from it. While the attack isn't that damaging, thanks to the bug's carapace, the ambient energy looks to be powering the thing up. Jules uses Focused Training. Nomus is Paralyzed from Static. Nomus takes 1 damage from Nuzzle, and Jules triggers Lockdown - for one full round, Nomus is both Stuck and may only use At-Will Moves. Minun gains DR. Minun Disengages.
Dynast takes 19 damage from Charge Beam. Plusle gains +1 Sp Atk CS, and DR.

"Dynast, let's show our charged friends that horn you're so proud of and barrel down on the one that incapacitated Nomus." Lowering her head, Dynast rushes across the field, head low, swinging her horn hard and high as she impacts the Minun, throwing her arms wide. 81 Bug Physical, if Minun is KO'd, Dynast gains +1 Attack CS. Dynast takes a tick of damage. Dynast's leftovers activates. "Nomus it was a good start but you're out for now." Beatrice declares as she switches Pokemon.

The Minun is battered and breathing hard after Dynast rams it, and the little mouse goes flying. But, it staggers to its feet, still up. "An impressive display of power," Jules says. "But if you want to match power for power, we can do that, too! Go all out, Mimi, show her what we can do."The blue rodent absolutely coats itself in electricity, obscuring it from view, before launching the projectile at Dynast. The sheer power behind the attack damages the bug immensely... but when the glow clears, the rodent is laying on the floor, unconscious. "Alright, Posi, finish the job," he says, with the Plusle surrounding itself with another boost of electricity, firing off a beam at the Heracross. It strikes true, and the battlebug does fall. The Minun is recalled, with a look of longing at it by the Plusle, before another rodent is sent out. This one's more portly, definitely with a bit of a mischievous, fey air to it. Minun takes 2 injuries from Megahorn.
Jules binds Overload to Minun. Dynast takes 39 damage and an injury from Electro Ball. Minun triggers Overload. Dynast loses 19 HP. Minun Faints. Dynast takes 25 damage an injury and Faints from Charge Beam. Plusle gains +1 Sp Atk CS and DR.

"That's quite the technique, if a taxing one. Let's see how you handle my response. Baied, move in for a Bug Bite." The battery bug scoots in next to the now (quite thoroughly charged Plusle) and starts chewing on those sensitive ears with his rather rough looking mouth, Beatrice releasing Nomus once more, who struggles to get going like he did before. Plusle takes 60 Bug Physical, Baied gains 5 DR. Nomus is Paralyzed.

The Plusle seems to be fairly hurt by the battery bug's bite, but it jumps back and fires off an orb of electricity that zooms towards Nomus. The Golisopod isn't able to dodge, and it coses immense spasms, before the bug returns and Bylli gets sent out. The Dedenne considers, before it fires off yet another charging beam, like that of the Plusle, this time towards the new arrival. Bylli is hurt, and the ambient energy seems to charge the mouse... and the red rodent sends over more electricity to charge it even further. Plusle is hit by Bug Bite. Plusle Disengages. Golisopod takes 81 damage and 2 injuries from Electro Ball.
Ribombee takes 49 damage and 2 injuries from Charge Beam. Dedenne gains +1 Sp Atk, and DR. Plusle triggers Plus to give Dedenne +1 Sp Atk.

Nomus disappears into his ball to be replaced by Bylii, who undergoes immediate assault as well. "Bylii we need to get some control down on all the power they're building up, and you're hurting, lead with a draining kiss." Bylii hits with a cute touch against the Plusle, draining its health but getting paralyzed for her trouble, for 41 Fairy Special Damage. With a squeak, Plusle disappears to be replaced by some sort of two-legged furless sheep. "Ah... I see Nomus isn't the only one with an emergency retreat. Very well, Baied, continue the assault, Bylii you may as well chime in too." Baied misses, sadly.

"Tides change, you have to be able to adapt. Charge up, Deecee." The Dedenne seems to gather up electricity, a spark from the Ampharos helping it to gain more energy. Dedenne uses Charge. Ampharos triggers Plus to let it gain an additional Sp Def Stage. Dedenne gains DR.

"I'm all about adaptability, unfortunately it seems like I don't have the tools needed here." Beatrice frowned for a moment and tapped her foot. "You two are doing great so far, Hang tight!" Bylii unleashes a sonic wave, and Baied another round of nibbles, but they don't seem capable of felling Dedenne. They gain 5 DR each.

The Dedenne rocks under the attack, but turns on Bylli, unleashing the supercharged burst of energy it was holding in. Draining some of the bug's electricity, she looks exhausted... but determined to keep going. Bylli takes 66 damage and 2 injuries from Parabolic Charge. Dedenne heals and gains DR.

Beatrice folds her arms across her chest and watches quietly as Bylii does her best, lashing out with a silvery wind at Dedenne. Re-assessing the battlefield as it was gave her concern, but there wasn't a clear answer sticking out yet. (51 Bug Special)

The Dedenne winces in pain as the glittery wind strikes it. The Ampharos tries to get an attack in, but the glittering gems it tries to fire go wide. Dedenne takes an injury from Silver Wind. Ampharos misses with Power Gem.

"There's an opening..." She breathed. "Baied get in there, you can do it, we just need to clear out that residual charge and we'll have a good baseline for taking a win." Baied hits with Bug Bite for 59 Bug Physical, and gives Bylii his other charge of Battery.

The Dedenne finally falls, with Jules looking over the battlefield. "I see that we're fairly evenly matched. Let's ramp things up." He releases a series of interlocking gears that observe the battlefield.

"I'll admit I haven't struggled like this before now. Bylii move up and give Ampharos a bug buzz, we'll have it itching before this is over." Bylii hits Bug Buzz for 66 Bug Special, gains 10 DR, Ampharos is slowed, takes a -3 to hit, and flinches on a 16+ on every attack that hits it.

The gears begin to spin rapidly, unleashing a burning light on Bylli and Baeid. The Ribombee falls, finally exhausted, while the Charjabug tanks the hit. Baeid takes another hit, though, from the Ampharos finally getting its act together, as the gems scour its carapace. Bylli takes 99 damage, 3 injuries, and Faints from Mirror Shot. A critical hit! Charjabug takes 24 damage and -1 Accuracy from Mirror Shot. A critical hit! Charjabug takes 36 damage and an injury from Power Gem.

"Baied, another bug bite, once we've gotten momentum we'll need to keep it." Baied strikes the Ampharos for 48 Bug Physical, gaining 10 DR. "Nomus you're back up, we'll continue the strategy as we've done, First Impression! We need to get those rocks off the field." Beatrice binds Iterative Evolution on Nomus, Nomus lands First Impression as a priority for 53 Bug Physical, and gains 10 DR.

Ampharos falls from the attack, but the gears don't seem to plan on giving up - it unleashes a beam of energy that boosts its power, before it ricochets past Charjabug. Nomus is still standing, but it fires off another beam to topple the insect, charging further up. Ampharos Faints. Nomus takes 12 damage from Charge Beam. Klinklang gains +Sp Atk and DR. Klinklang misses with Change Lightning. Klingklang triggers Shocking speed to use Charge Beam. Nomus takes 22 damage, an injury, and Faints from Charge Beam. Klingklang gains + Sp. Atk.

Baied moves to engage Klingklang but can't seem to get a good hold on the moving gears and their thick edges. Beatrice weighs her options heavily before releasing Crassi to the field, there was too much risk with the steel-type on the field to put her bug/rock into play.
