As the iron cage slowly opens up, three Dratinis and a Dragonair slither through the opening. "Alright homies, the name of the game is 'Dragon Slayer', you just have to battle my serpentine amigos here. Plain and simple, ya dig?"

All this while, the league battles must be tally with the number of Pokemon sent out. Feeling confused, Marietta raises a question. "Four? Who would be the fourth combatant?"

Jeremiah pinches his nose at the stickler. "It's a 4v3 rumble royale, no biggie right? We have to keep you on your toes some times ya dig? None of the gym leaders are really tied to any rule... I think."

"Then I just have two questions." Jace already knew who he was sending out, but he thought that he'd ask. "Firstly, how many Pokemon do we get to use? And secondly, how many accents could you possibly have, amigo?"

Still wearing his shades in the dim room, Jeremiah cleans the smudges off then. "You can use whatever you want, to the best of your abilities. Your pokemon... yeah about that."
Amira looks at the three trainers in training and facepalms.
"Have ya noticed? That since your arrival, all your pokemon up and left?" Jeremiah puts on his glasses and squats over them with a wide grin. "All those fine men, women, and Zoroarks back there, swapped your pokeballs out. Crack one open and see... amigo."

That's the trick? Easy as pie. "Alright! Now this is a challenge worthy of the next Champion." Jace sort of wanted to show off Ace's new tricks, but that's alright. His new stuff wouldn't have been very good against dratinis anyhow.
He picks out a random Pokeball, activates it, and gives it a toss. "Let's see what I got!"

The red beam released from the pokeball takes the form of a Magikarp! "Oh, that is weird... Weird that is... How you're ok battling with someone else's pokemon... Even though you're their 'master'. That ain't right. A pokemon that's not receiving any love gets taken so easily doesn't it?" Jeremiah stands up and proceeds to talk in a more serious tone.
"Surrounding you is the dragon's rage. The challenge you're facing today is called Dragon Slayer! You as the pokemon trainers will pull your own weight in a battle against these four. If you get out of there alive and victorious, I don't mind forking over the Vorpal Badge, yo."

"Oh no, you seem to be misunderstanding me." Jace seems completely unfazed by the appearance of a Magikarp. "Now this isn't just a battle for a badge. This is a battle for my Pokemon! I know that I won't lose. And besides, I won't let anyone question my love for my Pokemon."
Jace points to the dragons in a challenge. "Come on guys, let's show them what we're made of."

Marietta remains quiet and crosses her arm, she feels irritated and fidgety about her troupes are stolen before her. She wouldn't mind not being able to use her Pokemons, but the fact that her team is stolen is making her panic. They better be in safe hands or else. She cracks her knuckles, fishing out what she presumes another Magikarp Pokeball, and nudges lightly with her elbow Jace. "Hey Jace, is there's a restaurant that serves dragon jerky?"

Don't get mad. Won't do any good. Find out how bad things are, then see what you can do 'bout it.
Tully takes a deep breath to calm himself, his mouth a thin line. He looks at the fish flopping about in front of Jace. Ain't much of a challenge if we just got these types. I wonder... He takes one of the new Pokeballs he's been given and releases a magikarp at his feet.
He squats down in front of it. "Now, seems to me, this don't appear to be anythin' like a doable challenge. 'less, course, there's somethin' you ain't tellin' us. "He reaches down and gives the Magikarp a gentle but firm prod, checking that it is what it appears.

Jeremiah scratches the bald spot of his head. "I thought I was pretty crystal about the rules. You'll engage in combat mano-to-pokemano! You think Cynthia, the champion of Sinnoh, is afraid to punch a Garchomp in the nose?"
He throws his finger in the air as a dramatic pose and shouts, "Clean the wax outta your ears! I'm not the 5,4,3, or 2, but the number 1 dragon trainer in the Nexus region! A badge crafted by me can't be held by wack ass trainers! Use everything you got to beat my sweeties here! I want you to show me who you are. If not, you can just go home!!"

It all made sense now. The removal of their normal Pokemon, the 'gift' of Magikarp. Normally, it's the job of the trainer to support their Pokemon. Now, the roles are reversed, and now the trainers are the ones doing the battling and the Pokemon playing support.
"I'm not exactly sure Marietta, but you know-" Jace takes off his jacket and drops his backpack to the ground. "-I'm thinking we have enough here to start our own dragon jerky restaurant." Jace's eyes are blue now as he prepares himself.

" Nothing to go back to and only enemies in front of you... Your only choice is to fight and keep fighting. Time to decide who's king of the hill yo!"The four dragons slither through the gate and prepare to fight! Dragonair gives Tully a taste of his dragonic spirit in the form of a shout(FUS-RO-DAH!). But he accidentally gives Tully an opening to evade the attack. Dragonair: 18 Dratin1: 14 Dratin2: 4 Dratin3: 12

4 versus 3 situation, without Jane being on her side Marietta learns of the limited option available to her. Marietta laughs at her compromised tactics. To save her Pokemon, she will use an unfair technique she learnt through the internet. Marietta fetches Magikarp's pokeball, spinning the ball downwards and flies the ball straight at Dratin3. The ball slams onto the serpentine's body and bounces upwards, slamming onto its snout. Magikarp comes out from its Pokeball.
"Attack! Magikarp!" While Marietta distances herself a few steps behind, the juggler gives the fish Pokemon a stern command. Magikarp desperately slams itself onto Dratin3.

When Dratin3 gets hit with the first ball, he never expected the ball to do that stupid awkward spin where it goes back the way it came from. He tries to swat the ball away with his tail the second time, only for a Magikarp to fall ontop of it.
Dratin1 blitzes Marietta to stop her attack. He sprints and puts all of his weight into his tail for a heavy slam.

"Focus on that one!" Jace points to Dratini3. "Magikarp, get in its face." The Magikarp does what it does best and uses Splash! to leap up into the face of the Dratini. The Magikarp fails to land the attack.
Jace doesn't want to give away the nature of his power just yet... He takes out his survival knife and throws it. Not normally a throwing weapon, Jace tries to guide it with his telekinesis. Again, the Dratini dodges the attack.
Magikarp uses Splash as a shift action to leap at the Dratini and his standard action to perform a combat Maneuver (Low Blow)
Jace performs a shift action to move away from the Dratini and then uses his standard action to perform a struggle attack using Telekinesis. Jace then uses his swift action to perform After You on Tully, making it his turn.

Tully yelps as he leaps aside from the dragonair's attack. He looks around, panicking briefly before Jace's voice focuses him for a moment.
Realizing it'd be best to take down the biggest enemy first, he swallows his terror and runs up to the Dragonair, drawing his knife and giving a fake swipe before he leaps around to the other side and jumps on its head, slamming it into the ground and rubbing it there a little, disorienting it for a moment.

Dratin3 recovers from Marietta's attack and is now on guard for tricks like this. He notices Jace try something clever, but evades the Magicarp's predictable movements.
Dragonair's blood gets in her eyes for a moment from Tully's attack. After observing the battlefield, Dragonair is getting bored of their petty tricks.
Dratin2 moves in on Jace with a heavy whip of his tail, though the attack should have connected, his tail shifts slightly out of Jace's way.
Seeing as everyone is going for Dratin3, he goes on a supportive roll. Hissing at Tully to lower his defenses. The blinded Dragonair pinpoints Tully's position based on the direction of the sound and lets down her tail for a direct hit!

"Ugghh!" Marietta grits her teeth and groans from the sudden dull pain on her chest. She was unable to outrun Dratin1 from his slam. It does not distract her from taking out her first target. Marietta does the backspin trick again and flies another Pokeball at Dratin3.
She orders Magikarp again, pointing her finger at Dratin3. "Attack that Dratini, my Magikarp!" Magikarp decides not to rebel and jumps onto Dratini.
Marietta closes her eyes, and braces herself for another attack from Dratin1, knowing how painful the slam attack was.

Dratin3 is double tapped by a pokeball once again and falls to the ground in defeat.
"YOUR Magikarp!?" shouts Jeremiah, as he attempts to juggle everyone's pokeballs.
Dratin1 sees Marietta's submission to the upcoming pain. So he winds his tail ready with all his might and swings it across her side. Sending her flying across the ground a few feet near the water, also tripped.
Jeremiah stops his antics and peeks over the ledge to see where Marietta landed.
Amira runs to Marietta, seeing that attack made her cringe in pain. "Marietta! Are you able to stand? I can pull you out of this if it comes down to it!", Amira says as she touches the side that got hit gently. Searching for any serious injuries.
