Fandom Pokémon: Exeggutor Island Contest

Laurie Wright

Laurie's initial post-performance relief had dissipated as they watched the other competitors. These coordinators were incredible! They almost wished to simply be in the audience to enjoy watching without any stress. Even so, it was a privilege to spectate. When the results finally came through, they were honestly a little surprised to be advancing.

The break went by far too quickly, and they soon found themselves stood across the sandy battlefield from Nua. Laurie shifted their weight from one leg to the other as they tried to recall as much as possible about their opponent. This was trainer with the Kirlia who had put on a show to please not only the eyes, but the ears too. Would she bring Kirlia to the battle round too?

Yes, as it turned out. This was good news in that Laurie would hopefully be able to anticipate some of the move set.

Without further ado, they tossed a Pokéball into the air to release their reliable partner - Drizzile. As though to answer Suita's spinning, the water lizard drew up two orbs of water from his palms and juggled them with well-practiced precision. Both parties ready, the timer on the holographic screen sounded, signalling the start of the battle.

Laurie didn't waste a moment. "You know what to do! Show them a Tearful Look!"

With a swift clap of his hands, Drizzile burst the balloons in front of his face. The watery curtain splashed away to reveal his expression had swapped from nonchalant to something far different. Pupils large, his wet eyes glistened as they met Suita's stare. He blinked purposefully, tears glittering in the Alolan sun, framing his face with a gentle sparkle. You couldn't possibly bring yourself to harm such a sweet, innocent-looking fellow, right?

Heizou Synopolis

Trainer 101!

Even if Noivern had managed to gain some blows against Houndour, Heizou wasn't quite giddy. The girl before him had taken up the next moments using a move-or, well, command that the confused dog had managed to translate properly. ”Halay, hit the water then load ‘em up, H.E. Shells!" Now what did that exactly mean? Esther must really be getting quite deep through training sessions, making code words. It was a good strategy since she was a coordinator, and other trainers sometimes did the same, but now he had no clue what Houndour was going to do near the water.

It was already surprising the Pokemon could move at all, but Heizou decided he'd have to deal with it. Everything near the water was always a sneaky plan-he knew this from the second she used 'Susu'; the Surskit, against him. He had been a fool then, but now what was he to with Noivern? Houndour had already started to pump up it's own energy and dove straight for the cool liquid. Tasting Alola seas isn't really so hygienic.

Plumes of black smoke began to pour from the area, and Heizou had just caught sight of the gaping mouth of Houndour. Smog? Was that just all her plan? The type of thickness released into the air has a high chance of giving off poisonous effects, so it'd be better if Noivern stayed away. Perhaps the covered air would swell up into where the bat was, but it was better than getting completely swallowed by that sort of sea. Anyone would know better than to interact with that kind of storm.

Maybe if he used Acrobatics to plunge right through, it'd be fine?-That is, if Heizou wanted to have Noivern caught in a sly trap AND to have his partner succumb to 'injuries' that would force the bat into a slumber. He let out a deflated noise from the overstimulating thoughts swirling through his head.

"Noivern, avoid the smog; it's best to just do that. Using Gust might just help it keep a safe distance!"

Even if Gust could probably redirect Smog back towards the rushing waves, the wind would just help push it back towards Heizou's Pokémon. All he could technically do now was hope for the best. After all, Noivern had access to all the air space above him and his opponent.

  Dragon Claw, Supersonic, Gust…that’s three-outta-eight.

  Even as Heizou played it cautious, Esther didn’t forget to tally Noivern’s moves. After all, there was a chance they would battle against in the challenge-round and there was wisdom in planning for more than just the battle in front of her. That battle wasn’t going so well anyway…
  
  Houndour’s first snarl ensured Gust didn’t pack the punch it otherwise would’ve, and it looked like Noivern’s goal was to coral the smog rather than attack Houndour. This was fine. The dark Pokémon could always duck beneath the waves to avoid the battering winds; however, playing safe wasn’t apart of Esther’s plan.
  
  She needed to end things quickly but that would be difficult when her opponent controlled the sky. She couldn’t go up there to him, so the only option was…

  Gotta get him to come to me.

  
  
  She needed to Heizou to commit to an offense, one that would draw him in close. In that case…

  ”Abort! Halay, Nasty Plot!”

  
  
  They would abandon H.E. Shells, it wouldn't work like this. Instead, they'd apply pressure. Heizou wouldn't sit still while Esther allowed her Houndour to raise its offenses even further, would he? If he did then he'd be in big trouble once confusion wore off. And speaking of confusion... Halay was...
  
  Esther’s brows pinched together as Houndour flailed confusedly in the water. Was she…drowning? No…no, the water was too shallow.

NUATSIKI TENKIWARA

August 11, Morning Time — Seafolk Village, Poni Island, Alola

Nua wrinkled her nose at their opponent's opening shot. Seriously, how annoying was that? Trying to lull them into some false sense of security with a whole look at me I'm crying! song and dance routine?!

She noticed Suita wobble a bit when the crying started, too...was it a move? The other trainer did say, what, Tearful Look? So it was a move...probably something along the same lines as the Baby Doll Eyes that the Zigzagoon back home liked to use. Nua snapped her fingers — two could play the annoying move game!

"This is your stage, Suita!" She called out to her twirling Kirlia. "Fill it up with <<Double Team>>!"

Suita's rotations picked up momentum, and four clones appeared with a POOF-POOF-POOF-POOF! of pink mist. All five twirled in perfect sync, and they immediately moved into a tight pack then shuffled themselves around. Nua kept her eyes on Suita-prime, but hopefully the shuffle would be enough to confuse their opponents.

They had another way to throw them off, though. With a wide grin, Nua called, "Now use <<Confuse Ray>>!"

With five attacks trailing at the Drizzile in sync, they'd have to anticipate which was the real one!

Laurie Wright

Double Team? Laurie was expecting that after seeing it in the performance round. The shuffling? They weren't quite so ready. As Suita and his clones danced around like majestic spinning tops, Laurie had two thoughts. Their brain whiplashed with a combination of 'woah, nice!' and 'oh dear.'

Under less stressful circumstances, maybe they would have been able to keep track of which Kirlia was the real deal, but right now Laurie had no idea. There wasn't time to intercept the Confuse Ray, but maybe there was for something else.

"Light Screen, hurry!"

A golden light formed in front of Drizzile. This wouldn't help the situation with the incoming move, but hopefully would pay off after. On top of the effects of Tearful Look, the idea was that the additional damage reduction from special moves would mitigate any self-inflicted harm from being confused.

Confuse Ray penetrated the barrier, Drizzile blinded by its glow.

"It's okay, Drizzile! Steady yourself and use Water Pulse!"

Drizzle staggered for a few moments as he tried to regain balance. Once he was reasonably supported on all-fours, a large burst of water projected from his mouth. All being well, it would have enough range to hit both Suita and his duplicates. If they were really lucky, maybe the opponent would become confused too. The odds for that weren't worth betting on, though.

Interactions: G ( Hecotoro )

"Huh? Wait? What" Altair was prepared to sit back and relax and enjoy the Alola region's reputation as a lauded vacation spot after he was done with the whole appeal round thing, he stared at G's appeal as the two other contestants seem to be too busy quibbling with each other. She was more proficient with commanding her Pokemon and knowing their moves, it was progress for sure compared to when they first met in Sinnoh. What Altair didn't expect was to actually move on to the battle rounds.

"Hey guys, uh, I robbed the audience? Why did I pass?" He tried to wave at the judges, but his efforts seemed futile. Maybe this was what those strange gym leaders he has battled before meant by 'avant-garde'. Truth be told, Altair didn't exactly expect to get pass the appeal round, so he didn't even register another Pokemon for the battle round. Although even if he knew, he might've not either. Psion the Klefki has always been his 'ace Pokemon', but unlike most people's conception of a trainer's ace, Psion was a support-type Pokemon through and through. In a one-on-one battle, his abilities were at a distinct disadvantage due to the lack of actual ways to attack.

Before he knew it, G already headed up onto the stage. Despite her inexperience in Pokemon training, she was much more natural at that compared to him. Altair sighed slightly as G told him to buy her lunch if he loses, that girl did know how to hit where it hurts. "Fine then. If that's what you really want." He shrugged before waving his hand, indicating for Klefki to follow him. The other contestants have all been sending out their Pokemon, Pokemon that were different from the ones that they used in the appeal round, but Altair didn't roll like that. "C'mon Psi, let's move then."

G sent out her still somewhat freshly evolved Golduck, the name was a little strange now that it is no longer the same colour as its pre-evolution. Altair calmly returned the Klefki into his Pokeball and released the Pokemon once more, understanding that this is some sort of ceremonial ritual people do during contests, or just to get their money's worth on those seals back. Klefki spun out of its ball and gently hovered above the battlefield, its metallic exterior gleaming under the Alolan sun.

"Right." Altair replied to his (former? currently?) protege.

"Psi, thunder wave." He spoke with an aloofness and calmness that was characteristic of experienced trainers, but it was probably bringing down the mood in a situation like this.

The ring-shaped Pokemon spun into action as a series of electromagnetic waves began to be generated upon its body, and in a blink of an eye thanks to its prankster ability, the small metal fae flashed near the Golduck and released the zipping electricity to paralyze the opponent.

Heizou Synopolis

Trainer 101!

Repeat, repeat, and more repeat. Esther had decided to reuse a move, only doing so that Houndour got increased set of attacks again. This would be way worse if she continued to do this, but the mention of "Abort!" signaled Noivern hadn't gotten the reaction she wanted. At least Heizou had avoided a certain outcome, but still, Houndour was still floating on water. Darn dogs can swim, if only drowning was a particular option.

As Noivern was set in the air, waiting for an order to do anything from Heizou, the clearance of Smog would bound to come soon. Though, a bitter idea came to mind yet again. Hesitant at first, since the the springing light bulb hadn't lit up all the way, but sine Esther used Nasty Plot again, it was only fair for him to do the same. Heizou didn't want to be making a waste of his time, so this was the last mark before having to just go straight in.

Supersonic came from soundwaves, and those soundwaves could easily surpass such thin film of the air. If Houndour could particularly swim fast enough to avoid any blazes, the congratulations. Boomburst was another option, but Heizou was actually saving that for later. At least there was a sense of comfort of using a move again twice, since his opponent had already done so.

"Never knew our opponent liked to hide. Let's try one more time, and if it doesn't work we'll get a bit more dangerous on our behalf of safety, use Supersonic again to give a little push for Houndour. If the Pokémon chooses not to budge, we're out of luck Noivern."

"I know how much of a prankster Psi is, Disable!"

Banana, closed his eyes while it felt the electric waves travel through his body. However, that didn't stop him from looking over at Psi. Golduck held up his webbed claws and aimed at the fairy set of keys. The gem on his forehead sent out and instant flash, followed by a beam directed at Psi.

"Now, this is a contest after all, set up, water army!"

Golduck jumped back to get some space bewtween himself and his opponent. He then charged up a Water Pulse and shot the aquatic sphere into the sky as far as possible. "Sorry, Altari. You are a superior battler, but I am way cooler!"

NUATSIKI TENKIWARA

August 11, Morning Time — Seafolk Village, Poni Island, Alola

Nua watched with held breath as their opponent dropped down to charge some water-type attack. The Drizzile's offensive capabilities were an unknown, a black space where the puzzle pieces should be falling, and for all she knew the battle could be decided by this one move.

She watched the spread-out Kirlia and their slow-and-steady dance toward the Drizzile — which one would fall? A call to Suita-prime to get out of the way sat on the tip of her tongue like a Garchomp getting a running start before take-off, but Nua wanted to save that as long as possible. They'd already showed enough of their hand in the appeal rounds! If they pulled their ace too soon...

BLAST-POOF!

The attack, Water Pulse she was pretty sure, careened into one of the inner clones and POOFED! it into a fine mist — YES! Suita and the Suitas continued their dancing, unbothered as usual, and his trainer saw the next puzzle piece fall into place. Nua grinned, cupped her hands around her mouth, and called, "Take the high ground, Suita!"

The Suitas, which had been spread out in a crescent, understood the assignment. The inner two piroutted to meet the outer, and the newly-formed pairs grasped hands to feed each other momentum. The pairs spun ONCE!, TWICE!, and one of each LAUNCHED! into the air to-the-sides-and-above their opponent.

Nua aimed a pair of finger pistols at the Drizzile. Let's see how they like — "Quad-Barrel <<Psybeam>>!"

Each Suita gathered energy and — BANG! Like four lasers focusing on a single point from different angles, four Psybeams SHOT! at Drizzile!

Esther R. Sophys

Another super-sonic?

A furrow and a frown creased Esther’s features. What was Heizou playing at?

Could another supersonic lengthen the duration of Halay’s confusion? Would her confusion be worsened? Would it…stop Nasty Plot?

With bated breath, Esther awaited the outcome. Supersonic waves washed over Halay-Alae and…nothing seemed to happen? Halay still stumbled confusedly, and a shroud of dark energy indicated Nasty Plot’s success. What then had supersonic done? What was Heizou’s game…

Whatever it was, she wouldn’t let him succeed! Another stack of Nasty Plot would significantly boost Halay’s damage and that meant it was time to—

”Let’s go Halay, SNARL!”

Halay’s confusion persisted, but Esther had no choice but to try her luck and press the offense!
