Seeing the quivering Bonsley Horace's expression changes to a softer one, "Hmm I guess I did go a bit too overboard with the whole come with me or else thing... we came here to make a new friend not to enslave somebody. Look if you really don't want to come with me that's fine although I'm looking for some help in an upcoming battle and if you can lead me to somebody who can help with that the lemonade is yours. Of course you could also point me in the way of anybody else who has given you a hard time and I can deal with that for you while helping myself also." Horace then proceeds to let out a surprisingly pleasant grin and pours some of the sparkling lemonade into the cap of one of his collection jars, "Here it'll be easier to drink out of this if you still want some." Horace then takes sips from the can in order to show its not dangerous. Charm: 7

As the gym leader made his way towards her, Shoko sighed, Time to talk to another one. She turns to him, mustering as much confidence as possible before starting, "I've discovered some vital information regarding your aquatic troubles. This one," she points to the remoraid currently seated on her shoulder, "told me quite a few interesting things..."
Shoko begins to recount the various details she learned from her game of 20 questions. Once she felt she got her point across she firmly looked at him, "So we need your help making sure that the town people are somewhere safe. I figured that you, as the town's gym leader would be respected enough and so getting the townsfolk to safety would be much easier for you while we fight."
"One moment," shoko calmly states as she pulls out a piece of paper, a pen, and some string while letting out Tilda. She writes a short message before tying it to her with the string and sending her off; it was clear that they had done this before.
"I've written to my friends about the other half of my business with you. Since we have plenty of spare time until things get started at the lake, I'd like to challenge this gym."

Assuming it was wondering if she wanted more, she says "Oh don't worry, I'm quite full from my breakfast, you can have the rest.", giving a smile. "I was wondering if when you're full you might like to come with me? I'm new to this land and would like some company... And we can find lots more honey." She takes out a Pokéball and holds it out in her hand, with her palm upwards and the ball resting in it. Charm roll of 13 The Pumpkaboo smiles and reaches out, touching the button of the pokeball and allowing itself to be peacefully captured. Seeing the quivering Bonsley Horace's expression changes to a softer one, "Hmm I guess I did go a bit too overboard with the whole come with me or else thing... we came here to make a new friend not to enslave somebody. Look if you really don't want to come with me that's fine although I'm looking for some help in an upcoming battle and if you can lead me to somebody who can help with that the lemonade is yours.

Horace then takes sips from the can in order to show its not dangerous. Charm: 7 The rear Bonsly remains scared and seems to be looking for an exit, but the braver one steps forwards and cautiously laps at the lemonade. It's expression is one of distaste - it seems it dislikes the sweet taste of the lemonade. Despite this it seems to take a determined stand - as if exaggerating its physical prowess. As the gym leader made his way towards her, Shoko sighed, Time to talk to another one.

"Of course dudette. There best thing to do when the the waves get gnarly is to forget your worries and go with the flow. Mariette!" Adrian says as he turns to the receptionist. "Get on to the mayor about this crab business. I'll get the groms up here if its a group challenge." The receptionist nods and leaves as Adrian turns back to Shoko. "Alright dudete. I just need to know what sort of challenge you want - solo or group? And you'll wana get changed too - its no good ruining your fancy clothes in the surf."

"Alright!" She exclaims. She'd not done much of this Pokémon training when she was just a model, so she was thrilled she was managing. Ok, now that I've caught something, lets head back to town and see if I can find anyone else. She starts heading back to town, keepign an eye out for Axel to see if he wants to come too.

While Horace thinks about his next move Tilda flits up behind him and glares at the Bonsly. Once she's convinced the trees are sufficiently cowed she flicks Shoko's letter at him and flies away. While he considers the letter the Bonsly overbalances and topples over, rolling back to its feet and looking embarrassed. Nevertheless it steps forwards confidently, eager to go with Horace, though it looks cautiously back at the scared Bonsly.
As Karla reaches the the edge of the city she see Tilda flying back to the gym.

"Hmm, you seem like a fighter, I like that and dont worry about not liking the drink..." Horace chuckles with approval in his eyes, "My friend here and I prefer the sour stuff but what you have there tends to perk us up after a long day. How about you come with us and prove how strong you really are and have some fun while we are at it. I'll make sure to get something more to your liking for you later. What do you say. Plus if you come with me you can help keep your friend safe from some really nasty things coming here soon."
"Dont worry, once your friend gave me that look I had no intent on forcing him into anything." Horace turns to the other Bonsly, "Stay away from the shore for a while there might be some bad things coming here soon. Once your friend and I get that fixed ill make sure to visit you again." Horace then extends his arm holding out a pokeball towards the confident bonsly, "You might want to hop in here for now its a bit of a walk back to where I need to go. Once we get there ill make sure to let you out if you dont enjoy staying cooped up in there"

The scared Bonsly chirps and flees as the other chirps a goodbye. He steps forwards, looking at Horace expectantly.

Horace captures the willing Bonsly before sprinting back to the gym hoping its not too late to join in the fun.
Eventually Horace arrives and seeing Shoko a winded and hunching over Horace states, "Hey... Shoko.... am I too late to join the party? If not... let me catch my breath real quick then I'll be ready to go..."
After a few moments and a lot of heavy breathing Horace stands straight awaiting Shokos response not paying notice to anybody else in the vicinity.

Feeling happy with her ability to charm, Karla starts heading back when she sees Tilda flying towards the gym. Wow, there is a big moth flying through town... She double takes, and starts chasing it. Oh crap there is a big moth flying through town this could be bad news! This is the first time she's seen Tilda... She isn't familiar with it flying through streets. Seeing Horace also chasing it only convinces her more, so she takes out her phone and sends a quick text to Axel, Grace and Shoko. "Big moth flying through town. Heading for Gym. Chasing w/ Horace." It is only when she reaches the gym, breathing heavily and tired, and sees Tilda beside Shoko that she puts the two together, feeling very embarrassed. "Oh..."

Due to fortune, Horace and Karla arrive at the gym after a scant few minutes. Adrian claps his hands, obviously pleased. The ocean pool is ready for the battle, a pair of Swimmers warming up with their pokemon, a pink Shellos and a Buizel. Adrian keeps smiling before standing up straight and turning fully serious. "Alright dudes and dudettes. This is your first gym battle her in Sinnoh, so I'll cover the basics. All standard league rules apply. I use two pokemon, my trainers use up to two pokemon based on my and their judgements. You may use up to three each but only one at once. All six of us will be in the pool, but you don't have to fight yourself if you don't want to. You won't be targeted if you won't fight, but I need to know that before the fight and you can't change your mind mid-battle. If you do fight, your defeat doesn't mean your pokemon are out of the fight and if you arrange it among yourselves, your friends can always decide which of your pokemon get sent out.No long term damage will come to you no matter what. We're professionals after all." After repeating something you suspect every gym leader learns he relaxes again and grins. "So, who's going to be putting themselves on the line next to their pokemon? I'll be riding mine."

Karla already had a plan... and it might even mess with the gym leader enough. With a grin she takes a half step forward "I'll be fighting with my Pokémon" She has Kelpie's ball ready, pumped up now that she's here.

Pumped up from his run and catching a new companion Horace doesn't even contemplate his desire to avoid going in the water, "Im ready to start whenever... ohh and I'll be fighting and uhh... are weapons allowed?" Horace pulls out one of his juggling pins and smirks and then cracks his knuckles, "Not much in terms of a weapon but you learn to use what you have at hand."

"I suppose I can join the battle," Shoko shrugs. "Oh yes, I suppose I'll need some way to fight... hmm.."
Shoko releases all three of her pokemon while thinking to herself, I suppose I can use Mirk as a makeshift whip... no no... too long and too heavy. Tilda, you'll be fighting... so that leaves...
Shoko bends down to grab her remoraid and holds him like a handgun. "If you don't mind, I'll be using him as an impromptu weapon.... following appropriate battle rules for such, of course."
"That aside, we should probably group up and decide on a battle plan, but first..." Shoko turns her head and gives the gym a quick look over to assess the situation they will soon be in.

"Awesome. I am feeling STOKED about this!" Adrian says, diving into the pool and releasing a sea green Carracosta that he sits on. "Your Remoraid is fine to use as a weapon dudette, just make sure you give a shout if you have him fight solo as well." Ha pauses and grins at all three of you. "What are you waiting for? Water's great." He says, patting it. Adrian and two Swimmers are waiting in the pool. Adrian has mounted his Carracosta and they Ride As One. The Swimmers have a Buizel and a Shellos out. Initiatives: 23 - Carracosta 20 - Buizel 18 - Adrian 16 - Male Swimmer 12 - Female Swimmer 5 - Shellos (Pink)
Post your mons and your initiatives, I'll get a basic map up on google docs.

Karla pulls off her heavy coat and kicks off her jeans and shoes to reveal what she has been wearing underneath: a yellow and orange polka-dot bikini. Her now bare skin is ghost-white. She dives into the pool and the water immediately touching her gets cooler. After resurfacing she throws her Pokéball out in front of her, and Kelpie appears, falling into the water with a splash. He surfaces and views the enemies. Karla - Init 15 Kelpie (Tangela) - Init 10

Shoko leaves to change before shortly reappearing in her bathing suit and sporting a water-friendly researcher's coat. Her trademark uninterested voice contrasts Adrian's excited cheer, "I am prepared." Mirk, Tilda, and the yet to be named remoraid surround her as she gives them a small, inaudible pep-talk. Mirk goes to curl up around her before Shoko recalls him into his pokeball. She then holsters remoraid into her lab coat's pocket before walking to the nearby wall grabbing a swimming donut. They weren't the most fashionable of items, but at least they were practical so they were perfect. Shoko places the donut around her stomach before jumping into the water and begins to swim to position before using it almost like a wakeboard. "Tilda, come now," Shoko calls out to her. Tilda slowly floats towards Shoko occasionally floating backwards as she continues to survey the area for anything of note that could prove useful during the battle. Overall, the battlefield appears mostly empty so Tilda believes it should mostly come down to strength; she smirks as she arrives in front of shoko and pumps herself up with a "Vii~"Initiatives:
26 - Shoko (Gotta go fast!) 15 - Tilda (Battle Thirsty little bugger)

Horace comes out from the changing rooms wearing a bright checkered patterned wetsuit from head to toe that reveals next to none of his skin. "Always keep this handy in case I need to get wet. Gulliver lets do this and show them we aren't just a joke." Horace chuckles to himself before putting on a flotation device and diving head first into the pool only to immediately float to the surface due to his flotation device.
"Ready when you are!" Horace yells out both determined and eager to get out of the water in order to avoid people from finding out his secret. "I'll try no to knock you silly." Horace along with Gulliver give out another chuckle before Horace focuses on the fight and eyeing out his first target. Gulliver looking toward his companion for further advice on the battle.

We'll need to act quickly Shoko thinks to herself. She kicks forward using her inner tube to move closer to Tilda and begins to whisper to her, "Tilda, you know what to do." Her tone is still relaxed and bored despite their current situation. "Our first target is straight ahead. Just... hold back a bit this time around. We're only trying to KO it okay?"Shoko's inner tube grants +1 water movement so she'll move 4 units this turn.
Shoko binds 2AP to give Tilda +5 initiative bringing her to 20 init.
Using commander's voice, Shoko also invokes brutal orders and ends her turn.
