    "Merde. Okay, I'll train some of the others in the mean time. Are there any trainers suited for a mid twenties battle against two Pokémon, or someone who isn't a dark trainer who could do a one on one battle in the low teens?"

    "You know...with that sand there even your pokeballs can't free him. I could stand here and watch him get knocked out without doing a thing." Kara says crossing her arms. "Still feeling so smug?" She asked with a smirk. "That's for Star and Tina!"


    She nodded at Zayne.

    "So...what, Garis is going to rely on special attacks? It's not the only option."
    "That's right, although I could arrange something."

    "Except I'm willing to use items."
    He fills a balloon full of super potion and tosses it onto Nordul.
    "Long as they haven't fainted yet, you can use them and keep fighting. They faint, and you recall them or put them on the sidelines after you heal them. I would've done that for Star if you weren't a *****. Again, read the rules already. You've had a wounded pokemon just laying on the ground for how long and done nothing?"

    "Oh. Huh, I didn't realize there was a maze at all - I meant to watch the battle itself. I guess that's moot, though."

    He crossed his arms, pondering as Truse shifted himself a bit. Training?" He repeated, the statement having been said several times before him.

    "Huh - I thought pokemon gyms were exclusively for battling. I guess I need to do more homework - If there's not limited room, or maybe after Zachariah here, may I schedule some training as well? That may help Calconzillo here, not to mention others." He noted that Tundra seemed hopeful at the idea of practicing without outright battling.

    (You can raise whatever you feel like according to the normal rules, actually. It's just easier to advance with certain things. We're using grand totals here too-roll lots of d100+stat of choice*number of d100 (max 30), and if you get over the average for all the levels, you gain the level. In other words, if you aim for 10 first, if you score 500 you have gained ten levels, 1000 gets you 20, etc. Do you mind if I don't do posts on the myriad ways to punch things until they break? I kind of regret doing that with Prospector as it was just long.)
    She takes 25 poke from you.
    "One for the combat training then. Enjoy!"
    Tony and Tesla get away from the desk quickly, as do their pokemon. Before you can ask why, she has pressed a hidden button on the side of her desk, dropping you and Garis down a hole and into a cushion-different from the one that Kara and Tesla were dropped into earlier. There's only one path from here
    "Just follow the path until you hit a large room, sir! Arrow will meet you in there!"
    She then looks up at Doug and his pokemon.
    "Sorry sir, I was slightly distracted. Which kind of training would you like for your pokemon?"

    Just checking if "potion tied to ballon" is a custom item that you made (which is ok if it is) or if it was a misunderstanding how items work. You gotta be adjacent for them usually. Just checking


    "Well nobody told me it was a gym challenge to read the rules!" Kara says annoyed, "And I can heal Star? That's not against the rules?" She ask genuinely curious.

    (It all kind of started with the delibird fight, and I figured why not? Someone had to think of a way to deliver it from further away at some point, right? In general, if you get creative with items and there's no good reason why it shouldn't work, I'll allow it. However, you have to be carrying around a supply of balloons for this.)
    "If you heal them by items, and don't send ones that faint back out, it's fine. The rules are meant to be for your safety more than ours, anyway. Now show them your alternate methods of healing, Nordul!"
    Nordul is hit for 20 HP! Nordul is down to 14 HP! Nordul moves in (B9) and uses Giga Drain!

    Zayne catches Nordul directly in the chest, lifting him up and throwing him back. He skids to a stop in front of his trainer's feet, unconscious.
    "Nordul..."
    He gently pats his vileplume, before putting him back in his pokeball.
    "You tried, buddy. Go, Imp!"
    And the *******'s back out. (A10)

    Zach, you and Garis enter a room, with a toxicroak. It's wearing a nametag that says Arrow Lead.
    "Crocrocrocro."
    It lifts up its hands, to show that there are pads on them.
    That's when the music starts.
    Yeah, it's a Rocky montage.
    It pretty much goes like the video, except Garis evolves near the end and you think the toxicroak keeps calling him a bum. Fighting types, go figure.

    "Wow, gyms training, eh? Looks like you're the world's youngest Machoke." Garis laughs and claps an hand on Zachariah's shoulder, accidentally knocking him to the ground. "Okay, next thing to do is learn just how strong you are," he says as he gets up and rubs his shoulder. He heads to the exit to see the others.

    "Cho ma macho!" (Look who just got stronger!)
    Aw, I wanna get stronger too!
    Zachariah walks over to the receptionist, thinking to Era. D'accord. I'll talk to the receptionist. "Ma'am? I believe I asked you earlier about a one on one battle against a low teens, non-dark trainer? Do you know if there are any in this Gym currently?"

    Kara crossed her arms as she saw that first pokemon enter the field. Imp had taken out two of her pokemon already and Zayne was at a major disadvantage here. Zayne was weak to flying type attacks and Imp was immune to the sand tomb that she'd used to great effect so far.

    Zayne...move back towards me. She thought calmly as she tried to think of a way to turn this around.

    "Well, deterimination and stamina is something I've always been big on - everyone wants their family to remain healthy." Douglas noted, nodding. "Perhaps stamina training, then? That's something we could all participate in."

    "Chop!" (Great! Then I can battle!)

    He then glanced, noticing Tundra wring his hands slightly. Temporarily ignoring his machop's eager response, he knelt by the snover. "Don't worry, Tundra - this is me trusting in you. All I want is for you to give it your all - to see what you can do. There won't be any reprecussions one way or another. Besides, I'm sure you'll do fine."

    He stood again, glancing at the others - who seemed to react pleasantly to the idea. Even Vicuńa seemed a little eager for the idea, which was a little surprising as Douglas figured he'd still be worn out. Truse had his watchful eye on Calconzillo - that meant he was worried the machop would leap before he looked, but that also meant that Truse had any given situations under control. Still, he didn't mind giving the machop a battle or two afterwards.

    Douglas fetched the appropriate 150 poke for payment.

    Whew, sorry about that - got busy there!

    Goal is for HP training - all my pokemon have a pretty good HP stat (Generally due to natural edge+ and my general fear of my pokemon dying abruptly on me... especially as I've got two quad-weaks running around), so this way we can do everyone at once. Dealing-with-paralytic-poison it is - although Douglas (while mildly hearty) is certainly not as sturdy as his pokemon, so we'll see.

    So, roll sets! If possible, have Truse's and Vicuńa's be a touch more harsh than the younger trio's - Truse & Vicuńa will go for 30, the others will shoot for 25.

    Truse: (30d100+480)[13][15][39][84][82][76][71][26][82][71][57][71][49][52][75][12][46][78][67][41][60][30][83][50][10][8][12][37][99][1](1977)

    Calconzillo: (25d100+325)[59][24][10][75][38][12][19][40][98][79][94][52][64][59][90][86][73][52][87][63][66][78][86][73][57](1859)

    Gel: (25d100+300)[30][52][60][85][40][60][6][79][71][76][29][3][77][50][34][12][32][5][16][46][34][93][75][13][14](1392)

    (Vicuna 30, Truse 30, Vicuna 28 (roll 5 more and you'll likely hit 30), Cal hits 30, Gel is 27 (roll 5 more to go further), Nidoran 30. Think it was just 25 in general this time-calling it a pokemon gym recruitment run, as for some reason poison gym training isn't so popular.)
    Okay, then. You, Truse, Vicuna, Gel, Tundra, and the nidoran all get hit by darts. You feel your body begin numbing, slightly.
    "Don't worry, the poison's just a paralytic. You'll feel increasingly numb, but the longer you last through the task, the more likely you'll sweat it out. However, it's a bit cruel and unnecessary to use on a newborn, so your little machop will have a pass on the poison."
    Another button press, and you drop into another pit with a cushion. Ninjas love pit drops.
    "Antidote's at the end of the tunnel. Good luck, sir!"
    You get off, body feeling more and more numb. You see a large vial at the end, just waiting for you. You and your pokemon walk forward, fending off the poison.
    Then the treadmill starts. It gets fast quickly.

    Ya know...technically according to borrow speed it says you know your underground surroundings...doesn't say you know what is above ground :P You are just as blind as I am...

    (There's a medic here somewhere. You just have to find them first, just like everyone else. Oh, and Imp's HP was 14. Besides, he does have one or two ranged moves, and one is something you'd find very familiar...)
    You notice a claw graze the surface and his head pop up at B3. Zayne goes up to about 30 feet, just short of the ceiling.
    "Set up the field, Imp! You can get the advantage here!"
    The gliscor hisses at his flying foe and then ducks back down, tunneling to Arceus knows where.

    (Sorry, I was just trying to think of general characteristics before sending you off. Just one on one, or what? It helps if I know how many pokemon to whip up.)

    (Sorry, I thought I specified one on one earlier. After that, I'll be looking for a two on two single for Era and Bullet)

    "Okay, thank you." Zachariah and Era follow the woman's instructions for getting to the garden.

    You enter a rather ornate walled garden, where bug and grass types have congregated, with practically all vegetation larger than grass being a pokemon. You see a teenager watering a gigantic sleeping venusaur in the middle, bulbasaurs and ivysaurs millng around.

    "Sorry, I don't want to call you guys back, but six Pokémon just walking in with me is a bit much. Nox and Pyroclast, would you mind going into your Pokéballs for a bit?"The Zwielous is called back right as a head was about to bite the ground. Pyroclast objects until he sees the burn marks on the grass where he's stepped already. Era and Ambrule are small enough to not look awkward and Garis and Bullet won't do anything too stupid or destructive by accident.
    "Hello there! Sorry about Pyroclast's burn marks in the grass." Zachariah calls out, looking at and admiring the garden. It was surprisingly well kept for what he would think a poison gym would create. He spots two or three bugs and a few plants he hasn't seen before (reasonable?). Era talks to a Bulbasaur while her trainer introduces himself.
