Zinnia stood in wait for a challenger in the arena so she can get herself flowing as the Stadium had a steady rain over it, Goodra keeping the place a nice ambiance with a rainstorm even if it's not pleasing to the audience. The lorekeeper wasn't with Aster who instead watched from her entrance, close enough so that Zinnia can make sure her precious daughter does not disappear. It was understandably a dangerous time for Pokemon with the appearances of those not afraid to take a person's family for nutrients. The act was horrible but one Zinnia won't allow for her team to happen.

Aside there is no time for that thought as she was ready to accept any challenger that showed. She was not expecting who may actually show up but Goodra shifted a bit in antincitpation. The jolly dragon with a determined expression, the same as her trainer down to a smirk. They wished for a good and satisfying fight to increase their synchronization even further. The audience quite frankly wanted it to stop raining already.

Lorekeeper Zinnia would like to battle!

(To make things even, Zinnia will only use Goodra for this battle so both sides only have one HP Bar to worry about... Unless you attack Zinnia too)

It was raining.
It was raining specifically in Sunshine Stadium.

Ironic situation aside, Greninja couldn’t help but have his curiosity piqued by the unusual event. After a bit of thinking he decided to check it out...by wall-climbing and hopping on the ledge of the stadium to get a view of what was happening. The answer he got was...mildly disappointing.

It just happened to be a weirdly-clothed trainer and her Goodra, or to be slightly more specific, the Goodra currently using Rain Dance. Seems like the two were waiting for another challenger to show up in the arena. The trainer's eyes did quite the talking for him. How long have they been waiting there, was anyone’s guess. But it seemed to be for a good while.

The Ninja Frog looked on to the audience. It was clear a good chunk of them were annoyed at either the extended trainer’s presence, or perhaps the weather...and no other people were coming around to fight still. (Maybe the rain scared them, he didn’t know.)

...maybe, perhaps...he should fill in the void.

Exhaling rather loudly, Greninja dropped a ninja smoke bomb, poofing out of the ledge, and into the arena grounds, staring down the trainer. He folded his arms and stared at her with a neutral expression, waiting for the battle to start.

It must be a slow day in the Stadium is what one might think. Or maybe it was hard to take a Goodra seriously... Or you know, the rain had a habit of keeping people from coming outside but that was kind of the point she was making here. Just then smoke came into the arena as a ninja appeared. A Greninja? Zinnia tilted her head before looking around. Was... this a wild Greninja out on it's own? There did not seem to be any trainers, even ones hiding. She was not expecting to come across a Wild Pokemon challenger but... If he can survive this long by himself with hunters out there...

"Alright. A Wild Greninja it will be! Let's see just how strong you are even without a trainer! Goodra! Time to battle~!" Zinnia declared as she gave a wild smile that was... almost beastial in nature and she hunched down as if ready to strike herself. <You're a pretty cool looking individual. Let's make this a fun fight, alright?> the Goodra stated before firing an icy beam from it's mouth at the Greninja with fast force and precision.

Following this up rather quickly, she set her palm on the ground before raising it up, trying to knock Greninja into the air with a slimey torrent from the ground. She then attempted to end the combo by spitting an explosive mucus at the Ninja to try and catch him off guard and send him reeling back.

She and Zinnia ended their assault by doing a open arms like hug gesture with a bit of a cute roar from both to try and appeal... The audience however were not amused by the rain and were rather at odds here. Quite frankly they need to get beat up by the frog.

Greninja took a deep breath, acknowledging Goodra’s praise and request with a nod. <I’ll attempt to abide by your request. Forgive me if I end up being sloppy, it’s...admittedly my first venture in a stadium fight…> he sheepishly replied, slumping into his battle position, ready to fight.

The Ice Beam wasn’t dodged in time, though thankfully, Greninja was still capable of movement. Wising up, he dodged the slimy torrent with ease. Noticing the ball of muckus coming his way, Greninja...braced himself for it…? What was he doing--?!

p_1d20+3(CRITICAL Substitute - Muddy Water Geyser @ Goodra! 18% x 1.5 x 1.5 ~= 41%!)

The ball of muckus seemingly hit the Ninja Frog...but a closer look, and it was revealed that Goodra actually hit a plain old log! Where did Greninja go?? Well, if either Goodra didn’t manage to spot him, the gooey dragon would have a nasty surprise coming, as the wild Pokémon appeared behind her in a cloud of smoke, preparing to kick her in the scruff of her neck with a leg empowered by water and a bit of the muckus she attempted to throw at him!

p_1d20-1 (Appeal roll.)

Hopping over Goodra’s head after the strike attempt, Greninja landed on the ground. No other words were traded, no taunts were made, no flashy poses...yet the audience was definitely floating in favor of the Ninja Frog Pokémon.

The Dragon Type gave a surprised look as the ninja disappeared into thin air. How did he have time to replace himself with a log?! Where did he get a log. Zinnia and her scanned the area for the Greninja to reappear. Their cue came when there was a puff of smoke and then he came at her neck. Thinking fast, the Goodra slipped out of the way, just narrowly avoiding the Greninja. "... Clever tactics for a wild Greninja. Alright, Goodra! Let's amp up our own game! Gaooooo!" Zinnia and the Goodra give off a battle ready roar, a reflective sheen going off on the dragon as they both got a pinkish draconic aura flowing through them. "Dragon Pulse!" Zinnia declared, the Dragon fired the Draconic Energy in the form of a massive slime torrent flowing with draconic energy that threatened to blast the Ninja with huge force.

Goodra followed up raising one of it's arms to fire a pink wave of slime at the Greninja, it too was filled with dracoinc energy enhancing it's power far beyond before... Greninja was going to need a bath if he got hit by too many attacks. Good thing he was a Water Type. The crowd seemed to be getting over the rain and enjoying the fight a bit more now at least.
