"Impressive maneuver, trying to stay out of my reach. Don't let it escape, crabrawler!" Hala ordered as the crab pokemon pushed through the gust, sustaining damage and landed a blow on Mari.

A reminder: If you want to ask an RP thread creator if you can join their RP, do so in private - via conversation or profile messages - or via the thread's discussion thread, if one exists. Do NOT ask if you can join an RP on the RP thread itself! This leads to a lot of unnecessary OOC chatter and that's not what the RP boards are for.
This is clearly stated in our RP forum rules. If you've not read them yet, do so BEFORE posting anything in the RP forums. They may be found here (for Pokémon Role Play) or here (for General Role Play). Remember that the Global Rules of Pokécharms also apply in addition to these rule sets. -
Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

The balloon was swept off kilter by the blow, appearing slightly deflated as she hurried to regain her composure.
"Not bad," Rose commented, "But not bad isn't good enough, I'm afraid. Mari, use shadow ball!"
"Not bad," Rose commented, "But not bad isn't good enough, I'm afraid. Mari, use shadow ball!"
The shadow ball crashed into Crabrawler with impressive force, knocking the boxer out. "You really came prepared for this battle, didn't you, Rose? A ghost-flying type is an ideal counter for my fighting pokemon." Hala laughed. "Not to mention the fact that I can't use my z-move, ince it'd be useless against your driftblim." He took out his last pokemon. "MAKUHITA, USE KNOCK OFF!" makuhita popped out of the pokeball and attempted to strike Mari with all it's might.
"Mari, ominous wind!" Rose ordered.
The balloon pokemon did as she was told, blowing a murky, purplish gust toward her opponent as it charged towards her. Mari rose high above the ground, flying as far out of the pokemon's reach as her light body would allow her to.
"Why wouldn't I? I'm a vagabond," Rose replied coolly, in response to Hala's previous statement, "I survive solely off of my battle prize money."

Hala chuckled as makuhita recovered from the ominous wind. "one more time! Knock off!"
"As if I'll let you," Rose said with a mischievous grin, "Mari, one more time. Ominous wind!"
The drifblim followed the order, repeating her previous action with gusto.

Makuhita landed on top of Mari, knocked out. "Well well..looks like you've passed he grand trial." Hala said, smiling. "Good on you. You are indeed worthy of carrying this fightinium z!" After returning his pokemon, Hala walked up to Rose and placed the z-crystal in her hand. "Congratulations."
Rose took a moment to examine the Z crystal in her hand. It had a slight, brownish glint to it, not unlike that of the jasper necklace she had once loved to wear. Though, unlike that, this crystal would actually be of use to her. Maybe to Mimi.
"Mari, great job, new return," she ordered the big balloon, beaming her back into her dusk ball.
She turned to Hala, bowing deeply. "Thank you," she said respectfully, stashing the crystal in her bag.

At the Aether Foundation, Faba praised himself as usual as he completed the new experiment successfully. With this device, he could become the next big face in science! Little did he realize, however, that watching him in the shadows was the only person he truly feared. "Hello, Faba." a cold voice said. Faba flinched. He recognized that voice right away.
"D-Dexter! Wh-what a pleasant surprise!" he stammered, a nervous smile on his face.
"Cut the formalities, you egotistical oaf. You know why I'm here." Dex growled as he emerged from the shadows. "When you gave me the memory drive I requested last week, you said there were only two energy readings. So imagine then, how surprised I was when I found a THIRD."
"A-a third signal?! But I checked the reading a hundred times! There was never a third!" Faba exclaimed.
"I suppose you didn't check thoroughly enough then." Dex said. "Now, as ticked off as I am about that, I've got another assignment for you. One simple enough even for you." Faba let out a growl at this. Did he have to insult him all the time? That brat had always looked down on him since they first met. Begrudgingly, he listened on. "I need you to make a device to amplify the energy wavelengths of the orbs I've acquired. The strength should be strong enough to reach Sinnoh."
"I refuse!" Faba shouted. "I've had enough of bowing down before you! Your arrogance and destructive tactics have worn on me enough as it is! I, the great Faba, will have no more of being your accomplice! I-...WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING!?" He yelled in fury at the now Laughing member of Team Skull.
"You're already my accomplice, professor ego. After all, it was you who told me where to find the items I sought out." Dex chuckled. "And that's not counting the times you've played accomplice to several OTHER questionable organizations. Plasma, Rocket, even my father's very own organization. I'd consider myself lucky no one's found out about these links, yet...wouldn't you agree?"
"Where are you going with this...?!" Faba asked, unnerved by how much this teenage runt knew.
"Well, It'd be a shame if someone let slip word of your links to these criminal teams." Dex said, a devious smile stretching across his face as he took a file out of his bag. "You'd be living the rest of your life behind bars, and with your license revoked." Faba swallowed hard. He was trapped now. Letting out a growl, then a sigh, he finally spoke.
"Three days, plus shipping time. Expect it then." He muttered. "And you better pay for it."
"But of course." Dex said, handing him a large bag of Poke. "Don't fail me." He then left the laboratory as Faba looked to the ground, regretting ever teaming up with such a despicable human being.

Zion arrived back in Iki Town just in time to see Hala hand Rose the Z-stone. "Hey!" He yelled loud enough for Hala to hear him as he walked up to them. "We finished our trial. Are we supposed to battle you or something?" Zion asked him. "Nin-Ja" Greninja said, itching for battle.
"Indeed, you are." Hala chuckled. "Come on up here, and we shall begin your grand trial!" Quickly, he patched up his Pokémon from his battle with Rose, and get into his trademark sumo stance. "Let the grand trial begin!" he tossed out a pokeball, sending out Makuhita.
"Grand trial? That sounds more interesting." Zion said Greninja walked in front of the Makuhita. "I'm afraid that you're going to have to do more than that. Greninja is literally levels above your Makuhita." Zion told Hala unamused about facing weaker Pokemon. "But if that's how it's going to be, then I'll gladly be your opponent. Now Greninja, use scald!" Zion commanded. Greninja nodded before shooting a beam of hot steaming water at the Makuhita!
"Well, this is the team I'm required to use as a kahuna. it gets harder with each island, to be fair." Hala sighed. "I've got a much stronger team, but I'm only supposed to use it at the Pokémon League. Just following the rules, you know." He then let out a smile. "Regardless, I won't make this easy for you! Makuhita, dodge and use Brick Break!" Makuhita rolled out of the boiling water's path, then delivered a surprisingly hard brick break onto the ninja frog.
Greninja took the hit as he had turned into a water type with it's protean ability and took that opportunity to grab the Makuhita with it's tongue. "Protean allows Greninja to switch to the type of whatever move it uses. I'm sure you're aware of that. Anyways, Greninga, use ice beam at point blank which should freeze it!" Zion commanded. Greninja shot a beam of ice directly at the trapped Makuhita, as well as turning into an ice type.
"Yes, but protean is such a rare ability for a greninja to have, I wasn't expecting it." Hala chuckled. "Grab onto the tongue and use Storm throw!" Makuhita obliged, grabbing onto the tongue as it wrapped around him and swinging Greninja around before sending him flying off the arena.
"I hope Greninja won't get eliminated if he falls off the arena." Zion stated as he got ready to make another command. "Now while you're in the air, use scald!" Zion ordered Greninja. Another blast of steaming water was shot at the Makuhita. This time Greninja moved the beam of water to follow Makuhita if it tried to dodge it.
"Don't worry, he won't." Hala reassured. "But now you've got other things to worry about." the scald attack sent Makuhita skidding across the arena, leaving a burn on him as he did so. "Use Façade!" Makuhita leaped up after Greninja and slugged the frog across the face with a mighty blow.
'Now that he's burnt, his attack is halved." Zion thought to himself as he watched to Makuhita. Greninja wasn't able to take the hit and was knocked to the floor. "Nice move selection. Facade's damage is increased if the user is inflicted with a status condition." Zion stated before grinning slightly. "But unfortunately that's not going to be enough." He said as Greninja got up. "Greninja, use scald once more!" Zion commanded. Greninja shot another beam of steaming water at the Makuhita. Zion wanted to make sure that he didn't use a move like ice beam or dark pulse unless it was necessary. Protean would change it's typing if those moves were used which would make Makuhita's fighting typing super effective.

(OOC: you, uh...might wanna spell-check that last post. particularly with greninja's scald.)
Hala chuckled. Zion still didn't know makuhita's ability. Good. "Alright, Makuhita! Let's show them our true power!" He then began to move about in a powerful dance, ending it in a flurry of punches. "Z-Power! ALL-OUT PUMMELING!"
Makuhita let out a cry as a mighty aura burst from it, and it began bashing through Greninja's scald with a barrage of punches and kicks, ending with a final tackle right into the ninja frog.

"What was that?!" Zion asked as he saw Greninja get pummeled. "Is that the power of the Z Crystal?" Zion asked still in awe. Greninja stood up, heavily damaged. If it wasn't for the burn, Greninja would've been done for. "Well it looks like it's going to come down to one final move since their both hurt." Zion told Hala as he watched Makuhita take a little more damage from the burn. "Let's finish it with one more move! Greninja use scald one more time!" Zion ordered. Greninja took a deep breath before shooting one final powerful scald at Makuhita. The Makuhita was either going to dodge or counter attack, so Greninja watched Makuhita's movements closely this time as he shot the beam of water.
"Ah, but that's where your mistake is, challenger! My Makuhita's ability is...GUTS!" Hala roared. "NOW USE BRICK BREAK AND POWER THROUGH THAT SCALD!" he commanded. Makuhita blasted through the scald and laid one final blow to Greninja before fainting from it's damage.
"No way! How could I forget!" Zion exclaimed as he clasped his head as Greninja was knocked down by the brick break. "Guts also raises the attack if the user has a status condition. No wonder you didn't seem worried." He said he watched Hala. 'This old man is really something." He thought to himself.
Greninja slowly got up and walked over to the Makuhita to see if it was okay. It had good sportsmanship and wanted to say thank you for a good match.

Makuhita lay there, with spiral-shaped eyes. It was knocked out cold from fatigue. Hala chuckled as he returned makuhita to it's pokeball. "Impressive work, but the battle isn't over yet. He then took out his second pokemon, crabrawler.

The battle was over, and Hala was soundly beaten. He let out a powerful laugh as he made his way to Zion. "Congrats, young man, you've passed the second and final trial of melemele island!" as he said this, he handed him the fightnium z crystal. "your next set of trials are on Akala Island."
"Thank you." Zion said as he took the Z Crystal. "On a more serious note. What are you going to do about Team Skull?" Zion asked as he knew they were out there plotting.
"Well, first I need to contact Nanu, Ula Ula Island's kahuna. He has the most insight with Team Skull, so he should give us valuable information." Hala explained. "When we find out what they're up to, we'll strike."
"Contact me when you're going to strike. I'll like to participate as well." Zion told Hala. "Anyways, I'm going to go now. Thanks for everything and see you around." Zion stated before Greninja and him walked away.
Dex waited in his study/lab in Po Town, growing more and more impatient by the hour. He was so close now to piecing together his broken family, and it felt like an eternity just waiting three days before going on to the next big step. He considered going back out to have some fun, but decided against it. All he wanted was a few orbs, but now that ruckus in Hau' oli City had upped security around Alola. He had triggered the bombs as was appropiate, as an absolute last resort, but now he knew that setting foot outside of town at the moment meant a potential ticket to prison, something he couldn't afford, ESPECIALLY not now!
Looking away from his textbook, he spared a glance toward the three orbs he had stolen. They seemed to emanate a raw energy in of themselves, even without the Pokemon they were made for. He had to admire that feeling he got around them, like space-time itself was flowing around him. The third orb, all the while, left a chill down his spine. It's energy felt...otherworldly, like it didn't belong in this plane of existence. Regardless, there was nothing he could do with them until those devices were completed and sent to him. Before he could go back to his book, however, he noticed someone contacting him on his laptop. Opening it and answering the call, he found a man in a white robe on the screen. "Boss Dex, how goes the mission?" he asked.
"Well, things are going more slowly than I'd hoped, but smoothly nonetheless. And the competition here's pretty fun too. Not to mention I managed to find some...outside help." The teen said with a chuckle. "Anyways, what about you? have you found the documents from Charon's research yet?"
"Yes, sir, and we're forwarding them to you now. Expect them within a week." the man replied.
"Splendid! That's more than enough time for me to pull off the next step of my plan..." He said with a grin. "Standby until I give further orders, and stay outta sight. We don't need any more authorities snooping about our business. If word gets out now about what we have in store..."
"We know, Sir. Over and out." With that, the communication ceased.
