Jules grins, releasing a spherical 'mon that looks similar to a Pokémon. "Well, looks like things are heating up, eh?"The Electrode spins around, producing a ring of electricity that zooms at the Drapion, encircling it and causing pain. The slow but steady bug powers through it, though, even as the ring keeps zapping until it escapes. Drapion takes 53 damage and 2 injuries from Electro Ball.

I'm not going to say it was damage, but it was damage.

"We can't afford to take anymore of those Electro Balls, Crassi, Pin Missile that ball." Crassi arches her tail and launches a volley of needles into the electrode for 72 bug physical. Crassi gains 5 DR, and a tick of Hp from Shell Bell.

The Electrode seems very hurt by Crassi's missile barrage, while Baeid begins to be electrically levitated by Klingklang, before that Pokémon pulls back a little. Electrode takes 2 injuries from Pin Missile. Klingklang uses Electrotelekinesis to Lift Baeid, before disengaging.

Baied wriggles, clearly upset at being lifted by an unseen force and making a distressed noise until Beatrice calls to him. "Baied, you've been living in three dimensions your whole life, let's get in there with your silk line." One sharpshot of sticky fluid later and the battery bug soars into the sphere and chomps down on it like it was nothing at all. (Electrode takes 50 Bug Physical, Baied gains 10 DR)

The electrode is nibbled on... and it suddenly begins to glow, igniting and suddenly exploding with furious force. Neither Baeid nor the Electrode remain conscious, while the gears simply ride out the shockwave. Electrode is hit by Bug Bite. Electrode uses Self-Destruct. Baeid takes 35 damage, an injury, and Faints. Klingklang takes damage from Self-Destruct. It's not very effective.

"Crassi let's get off another pin missile, I know it's pushing it, but do your best." Crassi's attack hardly seems to phase the Klingklang, she refreshes her temp Hp and DR.

The gears shrug off the attack, before surging for Crassi, entangling her in their cogs. Once more, the wounded Plusle emerges onto the field, a fire in its eyes, and a smile on its face. Crassi take 28 damage from Gear Grind. A Critical Hit!

"Down to the wire then, Limul, you're up... let's see how this pans out." Limul hits the field, and acts on 5.

The Plusle seems to try and charge up its energy, but isn't able to, so it switches to firing a barrage of stars at Crassi, stabbing into the carapace of the bug. Crassi takes 16 damage from Swift.

Crassi slams her powerful tail into the mess of gears, an arc of water behind the attack as she puts what oomph she can into it, but finds the defensive bulk difficult to penetrate. (Klingklang takes 45 Water Physical, Crassi gains a tick of HP.)

The Klingklang really barely seems to register the attack against it, just flincing a little, but it begins to charge up another beam... which misses entirely, going off until it get absorbed by one of the walls. Klingklang is hit by Aqua Tail. Klingklang misses with Charge Beam.

"Let's finish off that plusle and then see what we can do about the rampant March of technology." She smiled wryly. "Limul, Smack Down on Plusle." The fossil shrimp gathered up a ball of rock and lobbed it at the electric rodent, striking it for 40 Rock Physical. With the Plusle fainted, Crassi raises her tail and fires another volley of barbs into the gears, this one accomplishing a bit more. (51 Bug Physical, Crassi refreshes her temp and gains 10 DR)

The mechanical 'mon takes a beating, but it's still up, and it lances out with electricity again, first hitting Crassi, who barely manages to stay up, before it bounces to Limul. Each shot only seems to make the thing more powerful. Cassi takes 15 damage from Charge Beam. Klingklang gais +1 Sp atk. Klingklang uses Chain Lightning. Armaldo takes 29 damage from Charge Beam. Klingklang gains +1 Sp. Atk.

"Limul, Crassi, move into flanking positions. Limul I need you to distract it, and we'll hold strong against whatever it does in kind." Crassi hits with Aqua Tail for 44 Water Physical, Limul hits with Bug Bite for 40 Bug Physical, and Bee triggers Distraction Order, giving it a -3 ACC, Crassi's next attack flinches on a 15+. Limul gains 5 DR, Crassi gains a tick of temp HP.

The crackling defenses from the remaining electricity help to deflect the attacks somewhat, but some stuff is still getting through, and it's beginning to look less healthy, and scratched up. The gears spin and gnash at Crassi… and she just barely manages to hold on, bolstered by her bell. Klingklang takes an injury from Aqua Tail. Klingklang is hit by Bug Bite. Crassi takes 17 damage from Gear Grind.

Crassi's next strike agitates the injuries inflicted by Limul, slowing the cranking of the Klingklang, Limul's follow-ups becoming increasingly more aggressive as the two coordinate better then ever before. (37 Bug Physical, 10 DR and 10 Temp for Crassi, 40 Bug Physical and 57 Bug Physical from Limul, a critical hit. Limul gains 5 DR, final Distraction Order applied to Steely Boy.)

After all of that... it's still not down. It fires off yet another beam of energy, charging up, though the second beam misses Limul. While it may be battered... the battle is not quite over. Unfortunately, the came cannot be said for Crassi, who finally has exhausted her stores of energy. Crassi takes 21 damage, an injury, and Faints from Charge Beam. Klinklang gains +1 Sp atk CS. Klingklang triggers Chain Lightning, but misses.

Recalling Crassi, Beatrice frowns at the gears that continue turning despite her team's best efforts. "Keep at it Limul, you're all I've got left now." She watched as the remaining two Pokemon traded blow after blow, dodging and weaving. She had pushed her team to their absolute limits...

There is a trading of blows as the combatants become ever more battered, attacks failing to really make any purchase on hard metal body or tough carapace. But, eventually, the floating gears cease their eternal spin, and they fall to the floor, only to be recalled. "Excellent work," Jules says, clapping. "Tight battle, all the way to the finish. Wasn't sure if you were going to be able to pull it off, but, at the very least, fortune favoured you. Not that I'm supposed to believe in luck, of course," he adds with a wink. "Anyways, I am proud to bestow upon you the Voltage Badge, for a scintillating performance, and ingenuity under overwhelming odds," it looks to be a battery that a blue charge fills and empties the center of it depending on which way one looks at it. "Given that it's the end of your Gym Circuit, slightly more... meritorious rewards are in order, so you should have these. Performance enhancers for your Pokémon, to help in repetition of certain moves. Not cheap, so I would suggest you consider wisely before your visit to Ever Grande."Bea gains 3 Milestones, and her Pokémon can boost up to Level 40. She also gets the Voltage Badge, which grants Electrodash! She also gets 6 PP Ups!

"I wasn't sure myself, honestly, but many of these Pokemon have been with me for the entirety of my journey. I'd trust them with my life." There was a strange lull in her expression as she finished the statement, but the segue faded as quickly as it had come. "Tell me, Jules, as a fellow academic, what is the purpose you see in the League? Before I'd begun, I'd had no intention of engaging the league at all, but a certain measure of experience is required of researchers, so here I am. While I'm sure Ever Grande is beautiful this time of year, why push my Pokemon's limits further and further, seeing them share in my victories and success, while I share in none of their injury." She was vaguely aware of the eyes in the stands on her, but continued, her attentions fixated on the man before her. "They themselves, are a mix of eager or reluctant, dependent on temperament. It is something I've yet to fully grasp."
