    Entering the Pewter City Gym, Violet took a moment to study the terrain at play. While Pokemon arenas generally had regulations to them, and the ones at high-level battles were usually uniform, gyms could and usually did modify their arenas to better represent the general theme of the fight. Brock had done so by the simple task of not having a constructed floor across most of the gym. Instead, his gym floor was replaced by dirt and rock.

    There were a few ideas that came to mind for Violet, throwing the rocks was certainly an option, not to mention the use of Dig wouldn't require replacing sections of the flooring afterward. While she hadn't prepared anything of note, in a pinch she could attempt to have one of her Pokemon use the boulders as thrown objects. Then again considering the speed of rock types, that was almost certainly unnecessary.

    As she was studying the gym, Brock wrapped up his battle and began to head in her direction. Turning her attention from the gym to the gym leader, she spotted the expected five Pokeballs on his belt as well as his general demeanor. Glancing toward the general placement of the Pokeballs on his belt, Violet noted some slight alterations between the two of them. Likely related to the fossil Pokemon the nearby lab had been reviving, it helped confirm her suspicion that she would be facing an Omastar and either an Aerodactyl or Kabutops.

    "I recognize that look," Brock began, sounding suitably impressed. Snapping her gaze back to his face just in time to catch his next words. "I don't get to see it that often around here."

    Violet didn't say anything at first, trying to piece together any hidden meaning in his words. She knew by now that her perceptiveness was well beyond most trainers. Although she had always suspected that elite trainers would have eyes similar to hers. Even if Brock made it sound like they were rare. "It's how I fight." Violet eventually said after a second or two of awkwardness.

    Brock nodded in approval. "Most trainers tend to overlook the minutiae of Pokemon comfort." Holding up to the two Pokeballs with fossil Pokemon so Violet could have a better look, she could easily see the slight differences from a normal one. "These two are a little apprehensive of regular Pokeballs, which is why I asked Professor Oak for some vintage models."

    Violet hummed a little at that. While the topic might be useful for her eventually, she did have a notable lack of fossil Pokemon to take advantage of that. "How … how long have you been training fossil Pokemon?" Nonetheless, she could easily recognize when someone wanted to engage in a conversation. And Brock was polite enough about it that she could humor him.

    "A little over a year now," a mixture of pride and regret at the decision warred within him before switching to pride entirely. "Some of them are more trouble than others." He let out a little chuckle, allowing Violet to realize who she would be facing.

    "Does … does the overlap in types for Omastar and Kabutops cause any problems?" Violet asked, recognizing by Brock's tone that one of the fossil Pokemon was far too much trouble to be used in a gym battle. And only Aerodactyl matched that description.

    An expression of surprise crossed Brock's face before a dawning realization took hold and he let out an amused chuckle. "I see you know who you'll be facing." He leaned forward, opening up his arms subconsciously, and lowered his voice. "But who will I be opening with?"

    Violet's lips curled into an amused smile. "Golem."

    Violet's Thoughts: A Pokemon Brock uses as his opener for battles, Golem is likely the strongest Pokemon he'll have for this fight. A powerful defensive wall with Explosion to ensure at least one Pokemon goes down with him, he also has a variety of coverage with Thunder and Focus Punches.

    Violet's Perceptive Trait Kicks in!

    Golem will open with Earthquake before switching to Rollout, aiming to have it build in power rapidly. If he sees a chance during the first three rounds to use Focus Punch, he'll do so.

    If Magneton enters the battle, Brock will immediately use Earthquake followed by Explosion. If Umbreon enters the battle, Brock will attempt to feint with Rollout then use Focus Punch, only sticking with Rollout if it's already been used thrice in a row successfully. After which he'll continue to use Rollout.

    During all of this, Golem will be in the Turtle Stance. Willingly refusing to dodge in exchange for managing to reduce incoming damage.

    [X] Plan Twisted Set Up


    I wonder if brock has a way to clear entry hazards? Time to find out.
    Click to expand...
    Click to shrink...

    For that, Brock's main team does have a few ways of handling hazards. However, due to this being a gym battle level that he doesn't normally fight, his team does have a few holes in it as evidenced by having both an Omastar and Kabutops on it despite both of them having very similar use cases. Similarly, his Aerodactyl which can clear hazards themselves is used on his main team rather than a five-badge fight so as a result, he's about to have a very bad time with all the spikes set up.

    As for the vote itself, as is clear Twisted Set Up is the choice which goes very well overall. Forretress manages to lay out all the hazards then get Golem to fall into the toxic spikes as fast as possible. When combined with Golem's Rollout missing twice preventing them from fully building it up, Brock isn't in the greatest of places to put it mildly. As it is, with both Pokemon having fainted, he'll be sending out Onix next.

    Round 6+: Bug Bite

    Notes

    Repeat any hazard moves that fail, block Explosions with Protect, disrupt Focus Punches with Bug Bite, use Explosion if Golem is about to trigger Sturdy and attempt to get Golem to step into the Toxic Spikes where possible such as by standing in them when he attempts to attack you so that he's forced to poison himself to get to you. Failing that and presuming it doesn't disrupt the laying of hazards then attempt to shove, push, drag, corral, force or trick Golem into stepping onto the Toxic Spikes however possible even if that means using Explosion to fling him into it or by deliberately leaving Toxic Spiked ground open as the only way to dodge the attack.

    "Standard rules?" Violet asked a moment later as a set of plans formed in her mind.

    Brock huffed in amusement and nodded. "I see you have a plan already." For a moment, a thoughtful expression crossed his face and he considered switching to a different Pokemon. He glanced at the Pokeballs on Violet's hip, trying to piece together any hints as to her strategy.

    Violet was tempted to raise an eyebrow but kept silent as she brushed her hair with a hand. And with the other, she grabbed Forretress' Pokeball and made her way to the arena. Across from her, Brock was clearly deep in thought as he debated which of his Pokemon to use. Did Violet wish to face Golem or someone else was a question that practically etched itself into his face. But eventually, his hand drifted towards the Pokeball that held the Megaton Pokemon.

    Then a second later, the battle began. "Earthquake!" Brock shouted and Golem obeyed, beginning the move before even fully registering who he was fighting.

    "Fully set up the battlefield," Violet ordered as Forretress looked at the encroaching vibrations within the earth and replied with a spray of toxic spikes that coated the field. A moment later, the Earthquake spread to the full arena, causing Violet to stumble from the force of the move while Brock fared better having grown used to high-power ground moves.

    "Rollout Golem, get it built up." Brock kept his orders short and succinct, ensuring that his Pokemon could react as soon as possible. The first word would always be the move name, only after that would a clarification of the intended goal come out.

    Violet didn't need to provide orders in the same way, at least not for another four moves. Forretress knew how to set up the battlefield, they discussed what that meant previously. Turtling in on herself, the Bagworm Pokemon accepted the low-speed blow from Golem and unleashed a spray of thorns.

    The rolling Megaton Pokemon then turned, striking Forretress once more only for a second spray of thorns to spread across the arena. On the following pass, however, Golem lost track of Forretress, the combination of the fast movement and rotation disorienting them enough to simply slam into one of the many rocks in the arena. "It's alright," Brock interjected before Golem's frustration with himself could build. "Rollout is a hard move to build up, you can't expect perfection every time."

    Golem replied with an accepting growl. Rollout was a hard move, but it was one he had known for a long time. He'd master it soon. The Megaton Pokemon's eyes narrowed as Forretress took the moment to lay out the third and final set of Spikes. Golem took a breath and cleared his mind, he could be frustrated later. For now, he had a battle to win.

    Once more, Forretress focused on her move rather than trying to avoid the slow-moving Rollout. The last hazard was put into place, and Violet gave her next order. "Forretress," she ordered, staring at Golem with both eyes with an intensity that caused several members of the audience to flinch. "Get Golem into the spikes."

    The Bagworm Pokemon's look shifted instantly as she realized she was not just in this battle to set up hazards. No, she was here to set up and win. Staring with an intensity comparable to Violet, both Pokemon and trainer gazed at Golem as they tried to time Bug Bite to redirect the Megaton Pokemon into the Toxic Spikes. Time almost seemed to slow as Golem approached for another pass. He rolled across the ground and then flexed slightly, lifting off to strike the floating Forretress.

    "Now!" Violet roared. Immediately Forretress shot forward as Golem and her collided in midair. The collision tossed the Bagworm Pokemon backward, clearly having gotten the worst of the exchange. But Golem had not come away unscathed as they landed in the poison-coated spikes, a brief yelp of pain confirming that Violet's plan had worked.

    "Attack, attack, attack!" Brock ordered. "You're on a time limit Golem!"

    "Stay defensive," Violet ordered, "But keep using Bug Bite."

    Golem's Rollout grew far more aggressive, as the Megaton Pokemon began to stop trying to mitigate the damage. With each pass, his vitality drained and with each pass, Forretress responded with another Bug Bite. Despite building the power of Rollout, Forretress clung to consciousness, her inherent drive and sturdiness refusing to remove her from play.

    It culminated in a climax where after missing a near-max power Rollout, Golem slammed into Forretress with one last attack causing her to finally faint. The Megaton Pokemon remained standing long enough to grin and roar in victory before the poison fully finished him off.

    Both trainers returned their Pokemon, whispering near-identical words of approval for their performance. "You did everything I asked and more," Violet said with a smile to the resting Forretress within her Pokeball. "Thank you."

    On the other side of the arena, Brock told Golem, "You fought a strong Pokemon and came out even, you've grown strong Golem."

    *Forretress improves Stamina from B-- to B-*
    *Forretress improves Bug Bite from B-- to B-*
    *Forretress improves Spikes from C+ to C++*
    *Forretress improves Toxic Spikes from C to C+*

    A moment later the referee interrupted, and both trainers threw out their next Pokemon.

    Violet's Thoughts: A defensive Pokemon, but one that lacks an offensive punch. Onix relies heavily on trapping the other Pokemon with Bind and Sand Tomb and simply outlasting the other Pokemon and uses Explosion when he becomes too weak to continue.

    Violet's Perceptive Trait Activates!

    Onix will start with Bind then Sand Tomb (unless Magnemite is sent out in which case only Sand Tomb will be used). After both moves are active, he will then use Protect to keep himself in the fight until the other Pokemon faints. Should he be worn down and about to faint, he'll use Explosion.

    Choose 1 Pokemon to Send Out

    [] Dragonair
    [] Blissey
    [] Magneton
    [] Umbreon

    GM Note: Due to Magneton being able to just sweep the gym from here, the rest of the battle will be in the next update. This vote is effectively who do you want to give XP to for the Onix battle before Magneton gets sent in to clean up.

    • Alright, seems that Dragonair will be sent out. As it is he easily manages to KO Onix, but then gets matched with Omastar. Due to their strong Ice Beam, Violet elects to have Dragonair try and outlast the poison via Protect rather than switch in Magneton. Due to some poor luck, he goes down after a single Protect. Which in turn leads to Magneton being sent out and ... missing. It was at this point that I spent several minutes trying to figure out if I should have a vote on what to do next before deciding that being careful was almost certainly likely to win leading to Umbreon being sent out to tank the Ice Beam before Omastar faints. After this we have Magneton sweeping Brock's last two Pokemon.

    Also, for funsies, I decided to roll for what would have happenned if Magneton stayed in and used Protect. For that, they'd have failed it with a roll of 6.

    • [X] Dragonair

    Both trainers threw out their next Pokemon. With a smooth flourish, Dragonair emerged from his Pokeball and curled around his body, flicking his tail in the process. Onix on the other hand emerged with a roar of pain as dozens of spikes drove into his rocky body both poisoning and injuring him.

    "Aqua Tail," Violet ordered as Dragonair lunged forward deceptively quickly. "Avoid the bind."

    "Bind," Brock called out simultaneously before one of his eyes twitched at Violet correctly reading his intentions. "Mitigate the hit as much as possible."

    The first exchange was over in an instant, with Dragonair twisting to land an Aqua Tail then smoothly using the recoil to get away from Onix's attempt at a Bind. Lunging forward a moment later, the second Aqua Tail landed and Onix fainted.

    Brock forced the frustration off his face, he expected a water-type attack but had hoped Onix would have been able to drag it out. Perhaps he should have transitioned to the defensive immediately as he would have against an electric or steel type. "It's alright Onix," Brock soothed his Pokemon, "sometimes you just get a bad matchup," Brock smirked as he said the last words. Sending in his third Pokemon, Omastar emerged, their entrance dampened by the grunt of pain at the sheer number of hazards on the field.

    Violet's hand drifted towards Magneton before stopping. While the stage was set for the Magnet Pokemon, a series of one-shots wouldn't be great for practicing anything besides Flash Cannon. "Dragonair," Violet's eyes narrowed and subconsciously her stance widened as if she would be facing the incoming move. "Protect, watch out for the Ice Beam."

    "Ice Beam!" Brock ordered, not as annoyed as before at Violet reading his intentions. In truth, he was expecting a switch to a more unfavorable matchup, but with the poison on Omastar, it made sense that she was simply trying to stall out the clock.

    Dragonair stood in place, a shimmering Protect blocking the first Ice Beam even as the poison from the Toxic Spikes began to drain away at their vitality.

    "Again!" Came the expected order as Violet briefly debated if she should call for another Protect, switch to Magneton, or use Dragonair's speed advantage to land an Outrage.

    In the end, she chose the more practical but boring route. "Keep it up, Dragonair!" She yelled out, noticeably quieter than Brock's shout. Perhaps it was a lack of practice at using back-to-back Protects, perhaps it was a preference to attack rather than defend, but to Violet's mild surprise Ice Beam simply shattered the shimmering protective field. Dragonair let out a cry of pain even as they were thrown out of the arena, coming to a halt by one of the walls.

    For a moment, Violet's heart rate shot through the roof. It'd been the first time Dragonair had fainted in a battle, and it took her a few seconds to fully internalize what had happened. Forcing herself to take a deep shuddering breath, she returned him to his Pokeball. "I'm sorry about that," she whispered to him despite knowing he was slumbering after the hit and was unlikely to hear her words. "Magneton," she stated as she threw his Pokeball out onto the arena, "you're up."

    "Dodge!" Brock ordered, "You've got a Discharge incoming!" Violet tilted her head at that, it wasn't exactly her plan but it was close enough that the gym leader knew what was coming.

    A bolt of steel-type energy shot out from Magneton crossing paths with the incoming Ice Beam. Violet let out an involuntary smile before the move had even landed, all but certain the battle was won. Then that smile was wiped off her face as Omastar abruptly moved, Flash Cannon missing by inches even as Ice Beam slammed into Magneton with far more force than she had expected.

    "Again!" Brock ordered, "You have them on the ropes!" The gym leader's grin widened as he saw a chance present itself and a second Ice Beam struck out towards Magneton.

    "Protect!" Violet yelled. Magneton instinctively complied with the order, the beam striking their protective coating causing crystals of ice to drop to the floor.

    "Again!" Brock roared even though it was entirely unnecessary. Omastar had already been preparing a follow-up attack before an order had even come.

    Faced with yet another choice between switching or using Protect, Violet chose to play it safe this time. "Dodge!" Violet ordered, quickly switching out Magneton and putting Umbreon out onto the field. The Moonlight Pokemon immediately twisted, minimizing his profile. However, a quick correction by the Spiral Pokemon allowed the Ice Beam to strike him, forcing out a small grunt from Umbreon.

    All of this, however, had not been in vain. Throughout the fight, Omastar had been growing weaker and weaker from the poison coursing through their body. And after several, consecutive Ice Beams, it proved to be too much as Omastar finally fainted.

    Violet let out a sigh of relief, that had been far too close for comfort. Brock on the other hand had the expression of a trainer that had come so close to a comeback only for reality to slap him in the face. "That was fantastic, Omastar," he said.

    Down to his last two Pokemon, Brock let out a sigh even as both trainers knew what the outcome of the match would be. Rhydon was sent out first while Violet swapped Magneton back into the fight. A single Flash Cannon was enough to win the fight. Then Brock sent out Kabutops, ordering him to do everything possible to avoid the incoming Flash Cannon.

    It proved to be insufficient, and as Kabutops fell to the floor Violet let out a smile as she realized the Boulder Badge was now hers.

    *Dragonair improved Aqua Tail from C to C+*
    *Dragonair improved Protect from C to C+*
    *Dragonair learned Safeguard at E++/C-*

    *Magneton improved Flash Cannon from B-- to B-*
    *Magneton improved Protect from C to C+*
    *Magneton learned Discharge at E++/C+*

    While she did still have to go through the ceremony for the badge, and likely be introduced to some new options when it came to battling, Violet knew what her next step was. Traveling to Viridian City for her next badge.

    Choose 1 Path to Take

    [] The Viridian Forest - The most common path taken, yet one where running into other trainers is difficult, this thick forest is filled with a large number of bug Pokemon. Moreover, it's quite difficult to navigate so all trainers within are advised to have a method of contacting Pokemon rangers.
    [] Diglett's Cave - A long tunnel dug by Diglett and Dugtrio that connects Pewter and Vermilion there are lesser known tunnels that can take trainers by Viridian City. These are unmapped, however, and it's recommended that only skilled or experienced cavers attempt to traverse them.
    [] Fennel Valley - A valley west of the Viridian Forest where archaeologists are seeking a series of ruins, there are a surprising number of amenities within it due to being rather close to the Indigo Plateau. Most of the trainers present are rather powerful.

    Violet could tell that the presentation of the Boulder Badge to her was abnormal compared to a normal victory at the Pewter City Gym. Rather than a generic platitude, Brock genuinely considered what he should say and tailored it to her battle. He was rather impressed with Forretress in particular and also used her as an example to the other trainers about the importance of hazards and their prevention. Having been the center of attention for the duration of the battle, Violet was used to the stares she was getting.

    Additionally, Brock warned her to expect some of her next gym challenges to begin using items. According to him, it would vary based on the gym in question with Blaine being the only one to use them across his Pokemon for a sixth badge fight. For other gyms, Violet should expect to face at least one Pokemon with a held item.

    Following her victory, Violet spent a day at the Pokecenter ensuring her Pokemon were fully healed. Then, early in the morning, she headed towards the southern edge of Pewter City where Willow was meeting her. As the first rays of sunlight began to crest over the nearby mountains, Violet arrived, spotting Willow who had just returned from her adventures in the nearby wilds.

    "Hey," Willow waved with a tired grin, having clearly had an eventful few days. "Let's hit the road, I want to make it to the Pokecenter in the valley before nightfall."

    Violet looked at her friend and rival with a worried expression, "Are … are you sure?" She hesitantly asked. While hiking to the Pokecenter in Fennel Valley was possible, that was when both of them had enough sleep, not with whatever Willow was operating off of. "I, uh …" Violet trailed off, not sure how to ask if they could take a less ambitious route.

    "I'll be fine," Willow said unconvincingly. "Come on, we're wasting daylight."

    Violet hesitated for a moment before Willow began to walk south. Forced into action, Violet began to follow. Mentally stumbling over herself, she tried to formulate a sentence in her mind before speaking it out loud. After several seconds, Violet spoke once more. "How were the sights near Pewter?"

    Willow didn't reply at first, her body radiating a mixture of discomfort and embarrassment at the question. "Pretty good," she said, interjecting false cheer into her voice. "The mountains are hard to climb, but the view from them is incredible." Slowing so Violet could walk alongside her, Willow showed a set of pictures of her trip. "See, check it out."

    Looking through the images, Violet agreed that they were certainly pretty pictures. Taken from the tops of a few mountains, she could see Pewter City through them. Noticing something, Violet frowned. Swiping through the pictures showed that all of them had a noticeable landmark in them. Looking away from the app, Violet noticed a few odd scratches in the case itself. "Willow…" Violet said slowly as if confirming her suspicion before asking. "Did you get lost?"

    "No," Willow lied unconvincingly as her face bloomed into a full blush. Violet stared at her, unimpressed. "I … I just saw some unexpected sights?" Violet continued to stare. "There weren't supposed to be Murkrow there okay!"

    Violet let out a giggle, glad that her previous worry could now be replaced with humor. Piecing together the story, she asked, "How long did you chase it?"

    "I caught them in less than a minute," Willow whined, clearly trying to downplay the story. "Then one of its friends grabbed my phone and I had to chase them."

    "How long did that take?"

    "A day," Willow groused, causing Violet to laugh at the mental image. "Then after that, I realized I had no idea where I was."

    "Which meant you didn't have time to arrive before nightfall yesterday," Violet surmised. Feeling more confident about how her friend felt, she pointed out. "We could stop at a campsite instead of the center, there's bound to be a few trainers there."

    "I don't want to be delayed though," Willow replied. "I'll get my next badge next week, which leaves me 9 weeks for three badges. That's so little time …"

    "We'll head out before the sun rises," Violet assured Willow. "And you need to sleep."

    "Fine," Willow reluctantly accepted, causing Violet to let out a sigh of relief.

    After several hours of hiking, the two girls arrived at the campsite in question. Despite the sun still being up, Willow fell asleep immediately after pitching her tent. Unwilling to wake her, Violet simply sat by the fire alongside her Pokemon who were enjoying themselves taking a look at the nearby area.

    Unsurprisingly, in a camp filled with trainers, one of them eventually approached her. The only problem as Violet came to find out, was who it was that approached her. "Care for a match?" An older girl with pitch-black hair asked with a cocky smile. "It'll be fun for both of us."

    The girl threw out a Pokeball and a Gastly emerged from it. Narrowing her eyes in suspicion, Violet looked at the Pokemon and then back at the girl. Spying an Everstone hidden within Gastly's body, Violet looked closer at the Pokemon in question. Certain now that the girl in front of her simply wanted an easy win, Violet replied. "...No thanks."

    Hiding her surprise well, the older girl raised an eyebrow. "What? Are your Pokemon too weak to beat a Gastly?"

    Violet momentarily felt a surge of anger. Even realizing the other girl simply wanted to rile her up, it was effective. "Who are you?" She asked with disguised malice.

    "Amber," the older girl replied.

    Violet's Thoughts: A Pokemon that's very dangerous due to her high special attack, albeit weak against more traditional physical attacks. Very hard to hit with a move that halves physical attack damage, Gastly is an extremely deceptive Pokemon that's stronger than she looks.

    Violet's Perceptive Trait Activates!

    Gastly will be using a standard stance for everything. Amber will order Gastly to use Will-O-Wisp at the start of the battle, confident that she will have a speed advantage. After this, she'll then have her repeatedly use Shadow Ball unless against Umbreon in which case she'll use Skitter Smack instead.

    Everstone, not Eviolite? Unless those look similar enough at a glance.

    Everstone for this. As was mentioned, the two stones are rather different in terms of appearance. Eviolite is definitely the more useful item to have in this case, but Amber doesn't have it for some reason.

    Alright, with that I'll be calling the vote for Rest Assured. As it is, this ends rather predictably. The only minor hiccup that occurs is that Gastly doesn't fall for the taunt mostly as Amber didn't really understand the danger that Taunt posed in terms of disabling Will O Wisp. As such, Gastly and her just ignored it. That being said, it still ends with Umbreon one-shotting Gastly with only some very light damage in return.

    After the battle, Amber storms away, albeit not before Magneton gets annoyed by her and decides that she's an acceptable target to "borrow" from. Said Odd Pokeball doesn't match any models that Violet knows.

    Round 1 Umbreon: Umbreon used Protect (DC1: Autosuccess). Umbreon protected himself!
    Round 1 Gastly: Gastly used Will O Wisp (DC15: 15). Umbreon protected himself!

    Round 2 Gastly: Gastly used Skitter Smack (DC15: 49). It's Supereffective! Umbreon lost 4 of their HP (95).
    Round 2 Umbreon: Umbreon feints with Taunt. Gastly doesn't fall for the taunt. Umbreon used Assurance (DC30: 84). It's Supereffective! Gastly lost 124 of their HP (0). Gastly Fainted!
    Round 2 Magneton: Magneton used Magnet Rise on an Odd Pokeball (DC50: 69). Magneton made Amber drop an Odd Pokeball.

    • [X] Plan Rest Assured
    Send Out: Umbreon
    Stance: Ambush into Steady Offense
    Round 1: Protect
    Round 2+: Assurance

    Protect against attempted uses of Will-O-Wisp. During Round 2 feint the use of Taunt to disable Will-O-Wisp and Disable to lure Gastly into attacking before ambushing it with Assurance to knock it out.


    "So, you in or out?" Amber asked with a smirk, to which Violet had only one response. The older girl had been annoying her significantly, and a humbling was in order.

    "Umbreon," Violet pitched her voice so that her Pokemon could hear her from where they were playing.

    The Moonlight Pokemon trotted over, a confident expression growing across his face when he realized who his opponent would be.

    Amber's smirk deepened as Umbreon took his place in the makeshift arena. "A dark type, huh?" She drawled, waving Gastly forward with a flick of her wrist. "This'll be quick."

    Violet folded her arms, suppressing her irritation at Amber's attitude. "You're right," Violet replied. "It'll be quick."

    "Will O Wisp," Amber ordered dismissively as the battle began. Violet in contrast didn't have to say a word, Umbreon had been taught what various moves did and he knew not to be caught by a burn if he could avoid it. A shimmering Protect sprang to life while Umbreon began to glow with dark-type energy.

    Violet looked at Amber and raised an eyebrow, as if asking 'Was that it?'

    Amber's smirk faltered. "Gastly, use Skitter Smack!"

    In contrast, Violet's lips curled into a slight smile as she leaned back. While her opponent hadn't mistaken the gathering of Dark-type energy as Taunt, the result was more than acceptable. "Assurance," came the order.

    The two Pokemon charged each other, twin strikes landing one after the other. Gastly with her far weaker physical attributes barely damaged Umbreon at all even with a supereffective move. Umbreon on the other hand did far more damage with his move. The dark type attack was incredibly powerful, slamming into Gastly and creating a cloud of dust where the Gas Pokemon was hit into the ground.

    Umbreon turned towards Violet with a bored expression. Asking if that was all he was brought here for.

    Waving him on, the Moonlight Pokemon trotted over to the rest of Violet's Pokemon apart from Magneton who was oddly absent. Violet's eyes narrowed when she noticed this, wondering what mischief they were up to.

    "I…" Amber started, confused as to what transpired. "That's not … I was supposed to win!"

    Violet shifted at the rise in volume. Glancing over at the tent Willow was sleeping in, she momentarily thought about asking Amber to keep it down. Violet immediately decided against that, from what she could see of her opponent she wasn't the type that'd be willing to listen. "Do you want a rematch?" Violet asked neutrally.

    Amber growled in anger, almost agreeing before biting her tongue. Violet, however, was more concerned with the sighting of Magneton who was behind Amber, and using Magnet Rise to slowly levitate one of her Pokeballs down to the ground. Momentarily frozen with indecision, Violet wasn't paying attention to whatever it was her opponent said. "Forget it," Amber eventually decided, storming away in a huff.

    Waiting for her to walk away, Violet immediately pounced on Magneton. "You can't just steal from someone," she explained. "What do I even …" Violet's words trailed off as she saw the Pokeball itself. It wasn't any design she was familiar with, appearing like a regular Pokeball albeit with black lines running across it that looked superficially like a cage.

    Magneton, oblivious to Violet's thoughts, hummed in disagreement. She clearly deserved it.

    Jarred back to the present, Violet acknowledged the point. "She was mean, but you can get in trouble for this." Pressing the button on the ball, Violet sighed in relief once she realized there wasn't a Pokemon in it. "Take her lighter instead, that'd be a lot less noticeable. And more annoying."

    The Magnet Pokemon hummed in surprise at the suggestion. Didn't most trainers also carry matches as backup?

    "Most do, but she didn't." Violet had been surprised at the lack of backup equipment Amber had carried. There was no sign that she even had a compass or flashlight. It was almost like she had only received Gastly a week ago. "She … probably bought Gastly from someone."

    Violet frowned at that. While it wasn't unheard of for trainers to sell strong Pokemon, it was generally frowned upon due to said Pokemon usually being unwilling to fight under an inexperienced trainer. However, Gastly hadn't shown any signs of discomfort at the arrangement despite the clearly suboptimal battle strategy used. "Magneton, did you sense any badges?"

    Magneton's reply of 'no' only made the mystery stranger.

    • [X] Look into the Odd Pokeball - You've never seen a Pokeball like this nor is there an example available online. Your curiosity drives you to investigate.

    The next day the two girls arrived in Viridian City. After having spent a few hours walking to the city, Willow and Violet split up. The former made a beeline for the Viridian Gym while Violet couldn't resist her curiosity.

    Using a terminal in the Pokecenter, Violet began exploring online resources trying to find a match for the Odd Pokeball. The Silph Co website had no mention of it, with the only item of curiosity being their new Masterball which was under heavy criticism from trainers across Kanto due to trivializing the need to bond with or defeat a Pokemon before capturing them. Turning towards historical sites, Violet initially thought that perhaps the design could be an older model. Yet that too didn't work. Lastly, she turned to a variety of forums and collector sites, trying to see if perhaps this was just an obscure model. Eventually, Violet was forced to concede that whatever the Pokeball was, it wouldn't be found via public knowledge.

    Out of options, Violet walked over to the nearby Pokemart and took a breath to steady herself. Approaching the clerk, a middle-aged man who was rather bored with mundane cashiering Violet hesitantly asked. "Do … Are you familiar with this Pokeball?" Holding the Odd Pokeball in her hand, she held it out, inviting the cashier with a name tag saying 'James' to take a closer look.

    James glanced behind her, satisfied that he wouldn't be holding up the line to answer Violet's questions. Examining the Pokeball, it was clear that he expected it to be an easy answer where the customer simply didn't bother performing an image search online. "That's odd," he frowned when it became clear that was not the case. "I haven't seen this model before, did Silph Co release a new model?"

    Violet shook her head in reply.

    "Where did you find this?" James asked, taking out a magnifying glass to examine the black stripes which turned out to be a series of complex circuits. "And why does it look like a cage?"

    "I … found it?" Violet hesitantly replied, providing an answer that James clearly didn't believe. "Do … do you know who I can ask about this?"

    "There's a Silph Co office in the city," James explained. "You can't go wrong with that. Or if you can get a meeting with Giovanni, he'd be your best option. He's been a lead investor for Silph Co for some time now. And as the Viridian Gym Leader, he'd know about any prototypes floating around."

    Thanking James, Violet left the Pokemart, mulling over the options available to her. Giovanni was likely to provide her with more information, although trying to contact the notoriously flaky gym leader would be difficult. As she thought, Violet spotted a trainer in the Pokemart that had been checking out a series of items in the lane next to her. Looking at the items she had Violet immediately noticed that several of them were missing, as if she had left roughly half her items at the counter.

    Taking out the Odd Pokeball, Violet noticed that the other trainer seemed to recognize it as she narrowed her lips into a thin, displeased line. As the trainer began to text someone, Violet noticed her shift slightly, briefly exposing an emblem belonging to the Viridian City Gym. Well, it seems she had a third option.
