Orenji V.S Koga
After a nice long nap, (after tons and tons of food in the buffet of course) Orenji shot up and became horrified at his realization: he was itching for a battle. He never did finish his Gym Challenge, and the Soul Badge would indeed be a nice addition. With that thought in mind, he recalled his sleeping Wolfsbane and exited the ship, eager to take on the Poison-Type specialist.
"Alright Orenji" began the self-pep talk, complete with matching Sentai poses. "You know your pokemon are strong, and you know exactly how to use their greatest strengths, and are aware of his weaknesses. It is all mental from here, must be focused, confident, aware, and... Oh! Sorry." One of the teen's poses knocked someone square in the nose. So much for aware. Before entering the gym, he released Troll from his pokeball, the Sableye grinning at his trainer maliciously. "Troll, you are going to battle today, we are facing a Poison-Type master." Orenji knew how this would go, it's always this way. "Saaaaaaaaaableeeeeeeee............ eye." was the response, with a clearly whiney tone to it. Cue stomach growl in 3...2....1. In that moment, Troll's stomach roared with a vengance, startling nearby passerby. The owner of such a pokemon with a monstrous stomach rolled his eyes, he knew his part in this little number. He went into his pack and tossed a small ruby into his gaping maw, but decided to sweeten the deal. "Tell you what, if I suceed in obtaining the Soul Badge, you will get this." Then he pulled out the most magnificent sapphire to ever grace mortal eyes, and waved it infront of the Ghost/Dark-Type's face. "SaSaSableye!!!" was his squeal of delight, drool running like a fountain out of his mouth. "So do we have a deal?" Orenji asked, stretching out his hand to his pokemon. The Sableye eagerly shook his hand and gave an "Eyeye" of approval. "Now you are going to need this when it is your turn, you know what to do." With that, he handed the jewel glutton a small, gray ball, Troll practically falling over upon catching it. With a strained nod, he was returned to his pokeball. With one last Sentai pose he burst through the doors.
"Koga! The Poison-Type master, I, Orenji, challenge you to a battle!" Cue elaborate and very well-done (cheesy) poses. The silence was deafening, not even a cricket would respond. An audible sigh was the result, the ninja in question stepping out of the shadows, palm to face. "My daughter gets all the real challengers, this is what I'm stuck with? Should have stayed in the Elite Four." he grumbled to himself. "However, I won't refuse a challenge, the battle will be 3-on-3! My intricate style will confound and destroy you! Confusion, sleep, poison... Prepare to be the victim of my sinister techniques! Go, Ariados!"
The Ariados stood proud, flexing its pincers . But Orenji was not phazed, and even smirked. "I would expect no less, your Ariados is strong. But can he compare to an angel? " After a pose, he released Angel, fresh and rested from her battle in the Safari. "Kiss-Kiss!" Orenji petted her and let her know of the situation. "This is a gym battle Angel, don't hold back." The Togekiss nodded and got herself ready to fight.
(Cue HG/SS Gym battle theme)
"The first move is mine! Ariados ensnare him with Spider Web!" The spider-like pokemon shoots a complicated net of silk at a blazing speed, intent on trapping his challenger. Said challenger however, was not phazed. "Angel, fly over it please." "To-Ge!" Despite the web's speed, she gracefully flew over it. However she looked to see that the spider wasn't on the ground. To the contrary, it jumped into the air, closing in on her. "Exactly what I wanted, use Poison Jab!" Koga's pokemon had the tip of its right front leg glow a sickly purple, and threw a lightning fast punch with the intent to hit home. A mistake really, going to the air against a flying type. "You're underestimating me ninja, and it will cost you. Air Slash now Angel!" Orenji was going to milk the fundamental mistake for all it was worth, and oh he did. The two buzzsaws of air hit their mark, super effective to boot, the poisoned limb of the Ariados failing to land on the account of the rather painful way it landed on its back. The spider pokemon weakly made to get up, then fainted, Angel's pure power too much for him to handle.
"You are indeed correct, I refused to take you seriously, however that will not happen a second time! You seem to be a worthy opponent, return Ariados!" After recalling him, he switched pokeballs. "Skuntank! Show no mercy to your opponent." Out of the ball came a fearsome Skuntank, hissing at his opponent. "Skunn-Tank!" However Orenji was not about to let Koga get the first move this time. "Angel hammer it home fast and hard (that's what she said :P) with Aura Sphere!" However Koga seemed to anticipate this, "Too eager boy, counter with Sucker Punch!" The skunk pokemon disappaered for a split second, only to appear and land a nasty haymaker in Angel's face with his left paw, sending her crashing into the wall. After a few tense moments, she emerged from the Togekiss shaped crater, visibly shaken but soon back to form and eager to respond in kind.
Orenji however had other plans, suddenly recalling Angel and sending out Troll. "Remember our deal Troll, give it your A-game." The Sableye wiped off the drool and got into a battle stance, a mischevous grin on its face. "An interesting pokemon, but it will fall here, Skuntank use Dig!" The Poison/Dark type immediately made a hole in the ground waiting for the moment to strike. Troll seemed to panic a moment, like the coward he naturally is, he didn't even have an attacking move besides Scratch for goodness sake! However the image of such a beautiful, delicous looking sapphire snapped him out of it and made him ready for anything. "Now Skuntank! Attack!" The pokemon responded in kind right under Troll, however a grin reemerged on the Ghost/Dark-Type pokemon's face. "Let's see how much a ninja likes tricks, use Trick!" The Sableye suddenly threw a small gray ball previously given to it at his opponent, smacking him straight on the noggin. Instead of being hurt by Dig, the attack never came, as the Skuntank fell back into the hole it made with a loud thud and a yelp of surprise and pain, that ball was heavy. Koga smirked, his opponent was smart as well as strong. "An Iron Ball with Trick? A useful strategy against a faster opponent I'll give you that." After a full minute, most of which was spent with Troll laughing at what transpired, the Skuntank slowly crawled out. Orenji wasn't going to let up however. "Troll use Toxic!" Koga balked, who poison's a poison type?! "Try to counter him!" Despite his best efforts, Troll effortlessly dodged the slow-mo lunge of the Skuntank and sprayed a deep purple poisonous spray at him, too fast to be dodged. The opposing pokemon looked worse for wear now, beads of sweat forming on its fur, the clock ticking on its condition. Before Koga could switch him out, Troll reused Trick to get the Iron Ball back, not appreciating the return of its weight. However seeing as how he too was returned to his pokeball, he didn't complain.
"You have strength and skill, guts too, poisoning a poison-type. But victory will be mine today, go Crobat!" Koga was 100 percent serious now. The Crobat looked quite fearsome, and bared its fangs at Orenji, who responded by bringing back Angel into the fray. "Angel use Aura Sphere!" "Crobat tank it and use Mean Look!" And tank it he did, shrugging off the Sphere like it was nothing, and responding with a glare that for a second sent shivers down Angel's spine, however she soon prepared herself for battle again. Koga had her right where he wanted her now. "Crobat use Cross-Poison!" Orenji wouldn't stay idle however. "Respond with Air Slash, and dont stop!" The Togekiss unleashed a neverending barrage of Air Slashes, however they were not very effective in halting the bat pokemon and she found herself assaulted by poison tipped wings. "Don't let up, use another Cross-Poison!" The ninja gym leader was dominating this one, Angel helpless against the onslaught of poison and wing. With a final swipe that looked to be the finishing blow, the Crobat got in close for the proverbial kill. What it didn't anticipate (or dodge) was the Aura Sphere to the face, sending it sprawling to the floor. Angel looked more than worse for wear, and showed clear signs of poisoning, health deteriorating each second. "Crap, Angel use Heal Bell!" "To-Kiss!" was the chime that healed her of her poison, just in time for the Crobat to have gained his bearings and land a critical direct hit via Wing Attack. However, she was not Maytec, and soon fainted after Orenji caught her before she could hit the floor. The Jubilee pokemon was battered majorly, completely out cold. "You did great out there, you should be proud." With that he returned Angel and reintroduced Troll, who once again got used to its new weight.
"No tricks for you this time, use Cross-Poison from above!" with blazing speed the poison tipped wings soon closed in, however Troll's grin signaled something Koga new he wouldn't like. In exchange for one wing hitting its mark square in Troll's chest, a bright yellow orb surrounded the Crobat, making it dizzy after a few seconds, its flight patter very erratic. "Confuse Ray!" the Gym leader spat, it seems Troll's sole purpose was to annoy. And annoy he did, the Crobat crashing to the floor and walls repeadetly, with Troll speeding the process along with a barrage of Scratchs. "Crobat fight through it, use Cross-Posion!" Koga's orders proved helpful, while taking a particularly vicious scratch to its body, the bat retaliated with a much more potent Cross-Poison. Potent enough to poison the tricky Sableye, who went down on one knee in pain. Troll was no Angel, and is the most fragile of the bunch. Koga capatlized on this, and ordered a Wing Attack-apolooza. Troll couldn't stand up to such attacks, but had enough in the Tank for one more move. After taking one last Wing Attack Orenji made his move, "Use Trick Troll!"
Troll grinned once more and dropped the Iron Ball on top of the bat. Before fainting gracelessly on the floor. "Win or Lose, you deserve the sapphire" was the statement of pride before returning him. "It's two vs one now, hope you have another powerhouse in your team." Koga knew victory was certain, even with the Iron Ball and a poisoned Skuntank. The teen smirked, and did a Sentai pose. "Even better, I have Maytec."
The Rotom laughed at the Crobat trying to stay in the air, what a funny sight it was!
"Your pokemon shouldn't laugh at the one who will defeat it, use Cross-Poison!" The crobat moved (albiet slower, waaaaaaayyyyyy slower and with greater effort) and attacked the washing machine without tiring, wing after wing used in the assault. One problem, Maytec wasn't poisoned, or even phazed by the attacks. "Use Will-O-Wisp!" was Orenji's command, and the little blue flame that could hit Koga's Crobat dead on, leaving severe burns on each of his wings. "A burn?!?! Che, this will not be quick, but it will end in victory for me!" Crobat tried to use Wing Attack, but it was all for naught as a nasty Thunderbolt hit him dead center. The Rotom giggled like a schoolgirl when Crobat fainted, and sent out a plethora of hearty guffaws when Skuntank returned to battle, the poisons effects resuming.
"Maytec use Hydro Pump, end this with one fell swoop!" The washing machine charged up...... and took an uppercut to its face, a-la Sucker Punch. The Rotom was knocked back several feet, and but bounced back seconds after, snickering when Skuntank winced from the poison. Orenji knew the battle was his, Maytec's pure bulk would allow him to outlast the skunk. "Use another Hydro Pump!" was his shout, smiling as Maytec took (and tanked) a right cross from Sucker Punch. This continued for a few more minutes until Koga started smiling like a madman. "Orenji! This move will be the last, and it will determine the winner!" This time Skuntank didn't back away after using Sucker Punch, instead (with a wince from the poison) he built up all the energy inside him, and soon let it out at point blank range. "Now Skuntank, Explosion!" Orenji's eyes widened considerably, he wasn't sure if Maytec could tank that. "Noooo!" and the room brightened up with a large amount of energy, followed by a huge boom.
The smoke cleared somewhat, and both were able to see the Skuntank on the ground. However, Orenji sunk his head, there was no way that could have been tanked. It was too powerful. Koga soon grew irritated however. "No pokemon could stand an Explosion like that, what is humorous about that, are you mocking me with your hollow laughing?" Orenji was baffled by the question, who would have the gall to laugh after something like this? Until he heard it too, and had a huge **** eating grin on his face and began to laugh.
Who was he joining in such merriment? A battered, bruised, and almost scarred Maytec, who noticed its condition and despite it, laughed a laugh like no other. Hell, even Koga joined in after a few minutes.
"You have proven yourself a very powerful trainer, full of heart and soul. And to prove it, I Koga, present you the Soul Badge." Maytec gave one last giggle, before fainting and being returned to its pokeball.
