PTA Battlefest: Sapphire Bracket
No matter where your coming from, you've all converged on Driftveil City. You've sat through long line of registrations and paperwork. You've been filed into the grandiose Pokemon World Championship arena. As you step out onto the floor, you see.... nothing. Well mostly nothing a long line to a pair of curtains hung over the center arena. Periodic flashes of light appear from behind the curtains, and another person steps in, but no one steps out.
One by one, you step into the curtains. There are two people in lab coats, one asks for your ID badge and the other works a keyboard. After checking your ID, they tell you your bracket and asks you to stand on the Red, Blue, Green or Topaz X on the floor. A whir of machinery and you are ripped from your spot, as you are teleported. You appear inside a room. No one greets you, but on the floor is a pathway in the same color of the X you were just standing on. Following the pathway leads you to a small auditorium, slowly filling up with other people.
Once seated, a man comes in in a League Uniform, who recites in a dreadful monotone the rules of the tourney, before pulling up the bracket. The bracket you reside in matches the color X and Pathway you followed.
In the Sapphire Auditiorium, the man looks at you all and nods as he finishes his explanation of the bracket. Now that that's out of the way... we can take care of the first Sapphire Bracket match. Edro Grimshell is up first... if you'll come with me, Mr. Grimshell?

Re: PTA Battlefest: Sapphire Bracket
You are lead into a narrow winding stairwell, which brings you up and out of the building you were in. You are buffeted by wind, realizing you were not in any building, but a large airship. The skyscrapers of Castelia surround you, showing you've long left Driftveil. A young man, looking to be in his early twenties, stands opposite you. He gives you a brief nod as you're led up to another teleportation platform, and as you step onto it, the world fades around you as you're sent across Unova.
Taking a moment to recover, you find yourself inside a cave, with stones scattered about sparking with electricity. A large, slowly rotating set of monitors hover over a arena carved out of the cave floor. Shining on the monitors are the words
Chargestone Cave Arena
Sapphire Bracket Round 1 Match 1
Edro Grimshell vs. Richard Halvert
After the two of you release your Pokémon in their starting spots, Richard scoffs and says, "I hope you're not relying on that weak thing to win... It won't even be able to scratch Kappa, here." As he speaks, you recognize his Pokémon as a Koffing - specifically, a Poison/Normal Koffing.

Richard used Intimidate on Bandit. Bandit receives -1 Attack Combat Stage.
Kappa has +1 Defense and Special Defense Combat Stage due to held item.

Re: PTA Battlefest: Sapphire Bracket
Richard nods as the sand begins to kick up, before ordering, "Kappa, throw up a Substitute!" The Koffing drifts forward, a glowing transparent aura of life encompassing it. The Koffing still grimaces as the sand slices at it.
At a ding from the Pokedex, Richard glances down before looking back up at you, calmly. Your Dex reads Koffing, confirming what you already knew, while his reads Krookodile.

Re: PTA Battlefest: Sapphire Bracket
Richard thinks for a moment, before shrugging. "Alright, then... Kappa, he's underground. Bring him out of hiding... Sludge Bomb!" He smirks, and reaches out as if plucking at a thread as the Koffing fires a dense ball of sludge at the burrowed Pokémon, and the ball seems to fade from a bright purple to a dull gray color. The toxic ball streaks through the ground and strikes true, despite the Krookodile's concealed position.
The large stones in the field give off crackling electricity, and a humming noise sounds as the four smaller, floating stones shift around the field in a clockwise circle, one of them pushing one of Bandit's traps.

Re: PTA Battlefest: Sapphire Bracket
The powerful blow slams the Koffing back into the wall, but Bandit's follow up attack misses. Richard shakes his head and says, "Nice try... Kappa, put it out of our misery. Dark Pulse!" The Koffing releases a powerful wave of dark energy around itself which slams into Bandit, dazing the Krookodile.

Re: PTA Battlefest: Sapphire Bracket
The powerful blast of water slams into Kappa, but the Koffing continues to hover in place. "Alright, Kappa... get close and even things out. Pain Split." The Koffing floats forward, one of the floating stones slamming into it, and stops right in front of Kraken, before glowing. A similar glow, far brighter, forms around Kraken, and the two auras begin pulsing, Kraken crying out as his grows dimmer even while Kappa's own aura brightens.
The floating stones shift once more, circling the field counterclockwise this time.

Re: PTA Battlefest: Sapphire Bracket
The beam of psychic power strikes true, but Kappa withstands the blow. Smiling, Richard orders, "Alright, Kappa, let's take it out! Assurance!" The Koffing darts forward as Richard makes another plucking motion, and a faded gray glow engulfs the Koffing as it slams into Kraken. Richard then glances down at the ding from his Pokedex, which reads Octillery.

Re: PTA Battlefest: Sapphire Bracket
Angel's eyes glow as she scans the Koffing, assimilating its explosive nature. Her attempt at a powerful sonic attack falls flat, however, as she emits more of a whisper than a yell. Shaking his head with a grin, Richard says, "Well... that was less than effective. Anyway, Kappa... try and bring down its defenses. Sludge Bomb!" Again, Richard makes a plucking motion, causing the ball of sludge that appears to be a murky gray in color. The ball slams into Angel and explodes, coating the Pokémon in toxic goo which seeps into its skin.

Re: PTA Battlefest: Sapphire Bracket
Once again, the sonic attack seems to roll off of Kappa harmlessly. "Huh," Richard comments, "who knew that not having ears could be such an advantage? Go figure. Still, no sense in showing more than I already have... Kappa, Dark Pulse!" The Koffing drifts towards Angel as Richard reaches up for another plucking motion, and a wave of dull gray power surges from Kappa, slamming into Angel and dazing the Pokémon. Richard looks down as his Pokedex dings once more, seeing it register Gardevoir, and frowns. "Maybe I shouldn't have shifted that one..."

Re: PTA Battlefest: Sapphire Bracket
The attendant leads you to the top of the airship, where you see an athletic-looking woman, apparently in her late teens, waiting with a cocky smirk. You catch a brief glimpse of Opelucid City below as you're led to a teleportation pad, before the world fades around you and just as quickly returns.
The arena you arrive in is at the bottom of a mined-out mountain, with several terraced levels above. In the center of the arena, a pale blue rock sits, a chilling aura emanating from it. A monitor above reads,
Twist Mountain Arena
Sapphire Bracket Round 1 Match 2
Casey Lee vs. Moira Salazar
The woman, apparently named Moira, gives you a confident smirk as she flicks out a Pokeball. "Let's see what you've got... Mummu, get ready!" She releases a Pokémon that you immediately identify as a Smeargle.Zio Avatar by acelegna
