"Hey hey hey, and welcome to another match of Sunshine Stadium! It seems like there's no end to all the truly epic contestants we're seeing in this tournament. Today we've got none other than the former champion of the Sinnoh region and aspiring champion of the world, Dawn! And may I add she might just be the cutest champion who ever lived?? And that's saying something because I was a champion once too you know! Heehee! Aaah, if I keep reminiscing about my homeworld I'll get homeworldsick! Anyways, here to battle Dawn is another pokemon trainer named Landon! Trainer for hire and all around tough guy! Ooh~ I bet he's a cutie too."

[Blade Unlimited]

"Make that current Sinnoh champion... But I'm on my way to the top for sure!" Dawn's voice boomed out across the stadium, accompanied by an unearthly roar as the giant space pokemon she trained soared down towards the center of the Colosseum; the confident trainer girl standing confidently atop it's head all the while! In a clearly choreographed entrance, accompanied by equally intense music, the two descended towards the arena where Dawn struck another pose to withdraw her two pokeballs while simultaneously flinging off the sunglasses she was wearing. Cinnawonn meanwhile was content emitting another reality-bending roar, not at all bothered by his being used like a glorified boom box and loudspeaker.

"DAWN IS HERE TO STEAL THE SHOW!" "PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALKIA!!!"

"O...Kay?" Landon said, so quietly it could be mistaken for a mumble. He wasn't sure what to think when it came to the announcer's comments on him. Calling him tough was a nice compliment, he supposed, but cute? Again, he wasn't sure what to think. He also didn't think that his opponent would make such a flashy entrance, which made him feel strangely inadequate. He wasn't wearing anything that he didn't normally wear, so he couldn't quite emulate what Dawn did with the sunglasses. The best he could do in response was try to billow his coat dramatically, but his heart wasn't in it. He just sighed, and reached for his first Pokeball, containing a certain Poison/Flying type Pokemon.

"Alright, let's just get on with it."

Blue emerged from the announcer's box and made her way down to the stadium floor!


"Home may be gone, but that doesn't mean you can't represent where you came from. I can sympathize with that~! In fact, I think a lot of people probably can! Everyone, please greet the Sinnoh Champion~!"

Blue wandered over to Dawn as she spoke, lightly side hugging her for a moment as she finished, shutting off her mic for a moment as the audience cheered for Dawn's arrival so that she might 


"You know, we've got quite a few pokemon champions living at the magical girl's society these days from all around the Pokemon World. We don't have the Sinnoh champion though, which is a shame because I've heard--don't tell anyone I told you--that she's really awesome and might appreciate being surrounded by friends who lift her up and validate her."

Blue winked at Dawn rather invitingly, giving her a moment before raising her microphone back up to signal she was about to turn it back on. "Let's see what our audience votes on~" Blue added, only to get blindsided by a hip check from another girl dressed in a rather cute cheerleader's outfit! A small burst of pretty pink hearts occurred as she bumped into Blue, staggering her and nearly knocking her over. It was Black! Her cheerleading outfit had an image of Dawn's smiling face on the blouse. Black began performing a chant, pumping her pom poms in the air and shaking her hips rather energetically to the rhythm of her pumping arms. "Dawn! Dawn! She's our girl! We love her and you will too~! Say it loud, say it proud~!" Black cheer-announced. A slightly more self-conscious looking White in a matching cheerleader's outfit. She took her place next to Black and they both began cheering together, bouncing about and kicking their legs in a rather risque fashion

"Dawn! Dawn! She's the best! Fight! Fight! Beat the rest~! Gooooo Dawn~!"
"Dawn! Dawn! She's the best! Fight! Fight! Beat the rest~! Gooooo Dawn~!"

They then ended by cutely posing with their hips pressed together, leaning outward such that the curves of their backs formed the bottom half of a heart. A rather large pretty pink magical heart popped into existence between them, filling the gap. Meanwhile, Blue awkwardly moved to confront them.


"--Hey, what are you doing on the arena floor??"

"--I'm Dawn's Pokemon~! Why wouldn't I be?" Black innocently asked.
"Weee'rehere by audience request." White added.
"Plus, Dawn owns us. Don't you remember Blue~?" Black asked.
White squirmed slightly in embarrassment.


"--Oh... Right. Didn't realize you were taking that seriously..."

"Your pokemon take you seriously, don't they~?" Black replied, beaming at Blue knowingly. Blue shrugged, yielding the point to Black and pulling up the device from earlier. It created a holographic screen with the audience's requests on them. She blanched briefly as she read them. ...Where did she even start? At least nobody was trying to win her heart this time.



"Well, it looks like a couple of Dawn's pokemon have come to lend her their support! Who would've imagined the cutest trainer would have the cutest pokemon, right?? Just remember Dawn, you are who you eat~! Heehee~"
Black and White joined Blue in lightly chuckling at the pun.
"Good luck, both of you~! I'm looking forward to seeing your fight!"

"Ohohoho~ If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were flirting with me, Blue~?" Dawn lightly teased the trainer announcer, still in relatively high spirits. Why not too? She was practically in her element! The roar of competition crowds! A pokemon battle! She had this game in the bag! She was just about ready to follow up Blue's invite with her own comment on the matter before... she was abruptly hip-checked away by-

Cheerleaders?

"B-Black? White?!" Dawn was sufficiently stunned, her words barely managing to form as she witnessed her close friends appear out of nowhere, fully decked out in cheering garb bearing her own image. THIS WAS SOMETHING SHE HAD NOT PREPARED FOR! It barely took a second for the trainer's face to flush red as a tomato while she continued to watch the very well coordinated display. "Y-You guys!" She didn't know whether to die of embarrassment on the spot or throw herself at them in a hug.

After somewhat quelling her blush and composing herself, Dawn went for the latter. "Dawww! I love you two!" She cried out in unabashed glee, snagging the two in her arms before pulling them into a tight hug. "You're the best friends a girl could have!" So much for that cool and collected look she'd been cultivating earlier. Ah, who cares though when you had friends that were willing to do stuff like that. Especially considering how embarrassing it must've been for White.

After practically squeezing the duo to death, Dawn pecked Black on the cheek before finally releasing them with a grin. "Alright! Now I gotta win for sure!" Rolling back her metaphorical sleeves, Dawn turned back to her opponent with a determined gleam in her eye. "Looks like this'll be a doubles match! Just means I can beat your butt twice as fast, Landon."

She pointed a hand forward, directing attention right on Landon with a determined grin. "Black! Cinnawonn! Piplup! I choose you!!!" On cue, this elicited a more than enthused roar from her legendary pokemon; followed by several enthusiastic chirps as Piplup made his presence known! When did he get out of his ball? Also didn't that count as 3 pokemon? The Palkia lowered it's head towards Landon, eyes gleaming as if challenging the puny trainer with his stare.

"Cinnawonn! Use Trick Room to slow him down!" She ordered, the Dragon pokemon understanding perfectly, let out another ferocious roar so powerful space itself seemed to tremble. Around Landon the world would abruptly begin distorting, shapes seeming wrong, colors de-syncing, his movements would seem oddly sluggish as if moving through a layer of jello if it worked!

kQHxASYPp_1d20+3 (Trick Room@Landon: Wis vs. Int; Lowers Dex mod to -1; 2 turn duration; 4 turn cooldown)

"Now, light him up with your dragon breathe! || PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Black, purple, and blue flames ignited within the pokemon's maw, churning like out of nowhere with the intensity of a small star before being funneled abruptly down towards their opponent in a merciless beam of magic fire! Meanwhile, Dawn struck another pose before throwing out a thumbs-up for the crowd. "Best way to win a battle is to end it before it starts~!"

p_1d20+3 (Dragon Breathe@Landon: DMG 12%; 30% inflict Paralysis)

Of course, she also wasn't gonna let her other pokemon miss out on the fun too. "Black! Use Devour on Landon.... Uh, whatever that is!" Hey, if it was an appeal, it was probably a move her "pokemon" knew, right?

(Audience Request: Dawn has gave Black a command to show she's part of the team. Dawn told her to use Devour! How exciting!)

((Yo Quill! I will be briefly breaking post order to have Black react to Dawn's command, simply because it's a part of her turn and with the post order we have now, it would take Dawn until her 3rd turn to see the result of an attack she made on her first turn. ||D Awkward, right? I will be resuming the normal, previous post order after your post.))

"Would you blame me if I said I was~?"
Blue playfully replied in response to Dawn's accusation of flirting.

Meanwhile, Black and White laughed rather openly as Dawn caught them both in a crushing embrace, returning the favor by lightly caressing Dawn in turn, affectionately brushing their hands across her back and rocking ever so slightly, just kinda doing a group huddle for a moment as they shared a moment. When they were finally freed from Dawn's embrace, Black was taken off guard by a kiss on her cheek! She cupped her hand over her cheek, eyes widening for a moment in surprise. One could, and White did with narrowed eyes, observe as little magical pink hearts began to flutter up from Black's head, a sign that the young lady was in love. ...And also that she wasn't what she appeared if Landon's wits were about him. It was likely the only warning he'd get--

"These aren't league rules, so be prepared for magic and trainers getting roughed up and all that crazy stuff." White light-heartedly warned from across the stadium. ...Okay maybe he'd get two warnings! Curse her good sportsmanship.

And then, Dawn's command came for Black. " . . . Looks like the audience wants an encore of our training with Princess Peach~!" Black eagerly observed. White squinted in mild disbelief, double checking the holographic display just to see for herself. "...Some of these requests are weirdly specific." White murmured. Regardless, Black left White's side and took the field before Dawn. "Can do, Dawn~! I got some special training, like from a move tutor, but for humans! Devour's pretty crazy. Watch!" Black cheerily remarked, bouncing forward to greet Landon up close. "Better send out your pokemon now, Mister Landon~! I'm coming at you like an Oricorio~" Black giddily remarked, stopping not far off and breaking into a rather rhythmic cheerleader's dance, waggling her pom poms before her chest and swinging her legs and hips around to a beat only she could hear as she closed the remaining distance between them. And then... "--Boop!" ...Black moved to lightly bop Landon's with one of her pompoms. Well, that was entirely ineffective.  She then promptly stepped back and hooked her leg around Landon's as she did so, attempting to forcefully trip him with a rather forceful leg sweep, promptly moving to catch him in her deceptively weak grasp! Though she was a somewhat small'ish girl at 4'11', she was definitely making the most out of it with her wits. Rosa would giddily pull him into her, opening her mouth wide..!

j|xMwCj6p_1d20+5 ((Rosa/Black's Devour @ Landon! See the spoiler below for what happens if she suceeds))

SPOILER: Click to show

As Rosa drew Landon in, from his perspective it would be as if he suddenly and selectively shrunk upon meeting her mouth, just enough that he'd find himself fitting inside, though he remained the same height as if he'd taken on the proportions of a noodle! The next thing he'd know, he was being swallowed whole! From the outside, it looked as cartoonish as it sounded, with Landon's lower half hanging out of Black's mouth as big as it ever was, with only a modest distension of her throat and chest to indicate he was in there! It looked quite impossible, and yet in just a few moments she would grab at his legs and pop his shoes off before swallowing the rest of him up with a big gulp! At this, Landon would find himself ushered into the rather cramped interior of Black's stomach, forced to curl into a ball by the fleshy, rather slimy walls that embraced and hugged him from all sides. From the outside, Black's stomach ballooned outward somewhat from underneath her cheerleader's outfit and became quite a bit rounder--as much as her body could handle without the aid of the odd spatial manipulation magic making this feat of strength possible. Thank goodness that cheerleader's outfit came in two pieces! Her blouse was definitely riding up on that belly a bit. One might even see a hand or face shaped bump press outward from within as Landon was squished up against the inside of her belly.

And then... Landon's world would begin to shift and bounce, though it was soft enough so as to mostly only be disorientating. Black spun around and struck a cute pose for Dawn, modeling a bit for her and the crowd with one hand on her hip and the other on her belly. "It really puts the 'eat' in 'defeat'~" she remarked, giving her belly a lightly affectionate couple of pats. "And, I caught Landon for you too~!" she added, beginning to slowly walk back over to Dawn, though she was walking with a slight waddle with the newfound weight she was carrying.

((Landon! ...Normally you would need to do 40% damage to Black to escape, but as you aren't a fighter that's not an option for you. You're welcome to struggle without rolls though! No garauntees for your escape though. You take no damage, ...yet.))

Landon quickly realized that Dawn was being given a lot of special attention, with Blue referring to her as the Sinnoh champion and even two of her friends accompanying her as cheerleaders. He supposed that it made sense. After all, Dawn was the Sinnoh champion. That fact had gone through his head previously, which made him very nervous. He had to fight the Sinnoh champion. Him, a retired gangster, who didn't see himself as being particularly important in the grand scheme of things, had to fight Dawn, a Pokemon champion. That didn't help with his self confidence in the slightest. Maybe if he could appeal to the crowd, some people might start rooting for him.

He couldn't think about this long. Dawn didn't wait until he could bring out his Pokemon, and decided to attack him instead. Was that even how this battle was supposed to work?

Roll to resist Trick Room:  xVy17rvJp_1d20+1

Bubble shield damage: 45-10-12=23% 

He avoided Palkia's sloppy spacial distortions, and brought up his shield to prevent the brunt of its Dragon Breath. He then quickly brought out his Pokemon, with Kabutops in front, Crobat on the sidelines, like in a Rotation Battle. He planned on using Crobat, but figured Kabutops would be more useful, thanks to it knowing Brick Break. He would've started barking out commands, but before he could he noticed that one of the cheerleaders had moved towards him.

"I'm sorry, what are you doing? Did I miss somethIIIII-" Before he could finish that sentence, the girl brought his legs out from under him, caught him in her arms, and ate him.

(OOC: It's literally impossible for him to dodge, so I figured rolling wouldn't matter.)

Literally. Landon was confused at first, wondering what had happened, when he realized that he was literally inside a giant stomach! In actuality, he had been shrunk, and was inside a normal-sized stomach, but wouldn't have made a major difference.

"HEY! WHAT THE HELL?!" He shouted, so loud that anyone nearby could hear it, even with it being muffled. "HOW DID YOU DO THAT?! ISN'T THIS AGAINST THE RULES?!" 

Landon was simultaneously confused, outraged, disgusted, and afraid for his life, which showed in the way he spoke. His normal calm had been shattered in just a few seconds. He only managed to regain his calmness after taking a few deep breaths.

"ALRIGHT. KABUTOPS, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, JUST KEEP FIGHTING!" He shouted, slightly less loud, though still loud enough to hear. Kabutops didn't show it, but it was just as flabbergasted as its trainer was.

"USE WATER PULSE ON PALKIA!"

Kabutops was hesitant, but didn't doubt his judgement. It tried to ignore the predicament its trainer was in and focus on fighting. It shot out a pulse of water, seemingly conjured from nothing, towards the literal controller of space.

p_1d20+1(Water Pulse @ Palkia: 18% damage, 30% chance to soak)

"NOW USE BRICK BREAK!"

Finally, a command that it could get behind. Kabutops rushed towards Palkia, getting up to its face before delivering a forceful blow with the blunt end of its scythe-like arms.

p_1d20+1(Brick Break @ Palkia: Deals 22% damage, cannot be blocked)

"Now....Hang on."

Landon remembered that he was trying to win the crowd, at least a little bit, and wanted to do something that he both could currently do and would win the crowd. He decided that he might as well recite the motto of Team Rocket. Sure, it brought back painful memories, but it was what the people wanted. He took a second to clear his throat.

"Prepare for trouble!

And make it double!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all peoples within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

To extend our reach to the stars above!

.....Landon...

Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"

Reciting the whole thing, in front of a live audience, brought him as much physical pain as being digested probably would. Appropriately, that would probably happen sooner or later.

"Uh... Does that... count as 'catching' someone?"

Black giggled at the muffled yelling coming from her distended belly, stopping for a moment to address Kabutops. She greeted the pokemon with a bright smile and a peace sign. "No need to worry! I'll keep your trainer nice and safe." she reassured before turning to gaze down at her stomach. Or at least try to, anyway. Being rather well-endowed, she found it a bit difficult to get a good look at her stomach past her chest. She had to lean back slightly, placing her hands on her hips for balance. "Nope! I eat you fair and square. Heeheehee--URP!" Black replied, laughing rather girlishly at her own pun only for her laughter to be interrupted by a rather loud burp. Black covered her mouth in shock.


" . . . Excuse you!"

"S-Sorry~!" Black sheepishly replied, sounding genuinely embarrassed and apologetic.


"...Well if that isn't the sound of satisfaction and a heck of battlecry to follow one heck of a victory, I don't know what is~! Though, I can't help but feel that cheerleader's outfit, while totally hot, looks a lot better on you than it does on him~"

Black giggled like a proper dork at Blue's remarks, unable to contain herself.

"--But since Black belongs to Dawn, I guess the credit for this capture goes to Dawn's masterful command of her pokemon! As long as Landon stays down, I guess the capture's yours~!" Blue remarked, feigning helplessness at the situation.

"--Ooh. Ooh. Blue! He's singing a song!" Black spiritedly called out, ushering Blue over to her. Blue rushed over and bent down, holding her microphone up to Black's mid-section such that Landon's voice could be heard by the entire crowd, muffled as it was. Once he was finished, Black beamed down at her stomach. "That was awesome Landon!" Black remarked, affectionately hugging her stomach and, by attention, Landon. "I'm proooud of yooooou~!" she continued in the sweetest tone, encouraging Landon rather light-heartedly. After a moment though, she'd release her mid-section and return her attention to Dawn, brightly smiling in search of her approval.

To be fair, this wasn't exactly a Pokemon League sanctioned battle. Dawn's philosophy was to always end battles as soon as possible by powering through them! Normally that meant walking around people in convoluted patterns to avoid battling in the first place, but during actual battles it meant going all out from the get-go!

...Of course, her philosophy didn't really have any way to account for what happens when the her "pokemon" ate the other trainer. "....I...uh.....uh....." She stuttered, at first completely bewildered over what Black had just done. Forget why that guy was still alive (singing some sort of weird song in her stomach by the way), how did she physically do any of that?!? As Black began walking back over to her, Dawn swallowed her confusion before giving the girl a careful pat on the head. "G-Good job? (I think?)" ...She was starting to get suspicious over the large amount of Black-related commands the audience was giving her.

Um...  Wait, what was she doing? Oh right! Battling!

((Cinnawonn Bubble Shield@Water Pulse: 55-10-18 = 27!))

W2OUAWZIp_1d20-1(Brick Break Evasion - Failed)

Though momentarily distracted by his poke-mate devouring the enemy trainer, the Palkia wasn't anywhere close to being distracted enough for something like that water-pulse to hit it. Before it even touched the dragon pokemon, the water was seemingly absorbed through a rift-like hole in space surrounding Cinnawonn before disappearing completely. Still, this itself proved to obscure his sight just enough for the Kabutops to land a strong blow with it's scythes against it's head. "Paaaaa!" Cinnawonn growled, recoiling back from the blow with a mighty stomp... before directing all of his attention now onto the enemy pokemon with an indignantly enraged expression.

With a look as if to tell the enemy pokemon "I will scatter your atoms across the cosmos for this insolence" before it's claws began to glow a bright purple color -- the space around them appearing as if it were being sucked into their surface like a black hole. Dawn, quick on the uptake, matched Cinnawonn's intensity with her own. "Alright Cinnawonn! Let him have it with an Avalanche, then follow it up with a Spacial Rend!" She ordered, pumping her fist into the air.

p_1d20+3 (Avalanche AOE: WIS vs. CON; DMG 13%; -2 DEX  MOD for 3 turns; 4 turn cooldown)

With a space-shattering roar that tore at the very barriers between dimensions, Cinnawonn lifted it's head towards the sky as the skybox was seemingly swapped out entirely for a swirling mass of spacial distortions. The entire arena became overshadowed by the rift before with another roar, the god of space opened a gateway between a snowbank on the Icicle Peaks and the sky above the stadium. True enough to the attack name, a wave of snow was dislodged from the mountain in an avalanche before it mercilessly poured down onto the entire arena in a merciless downpour. Blue, Dawn, Black, and White would all find themselves protected though by additional rifts which teleported away any snow or ice that drew close to them.

Meanwhile, Dawn decided amidst the snowy chaos to take a mid-battle break for more appeals... because why not? She turned to Black with a shrug, trying her best to ignore the complaining man inside of the cheerleader's belly as she struck up conversation. "So.... Got any cool moves or items I can borrow?Since apparently the audience knows a lot about you." Something about all these Black commands rubbed Dawn the wrong way. Sure, she loved having her help in the battle like this, but it felt kinda weird. "Maybe ones that uh... don't involve eating enemies." If they could avoid it.

((Audience Request: Dawn's asking Black for any cool items she could borrow and be rewarded with!))

While that happened; amidst the snowy chaos, the Palkia flew through the air at a speed unbecoming of it's size, swiping it's large space-distorting claws into Landon's Kabutops with extreme prejudice. "PAAAAAL!"

This was not Landon's finest moment.

To be fair, how could it be? He was literally inside of someone's stomach by way of magical hand-waving, and having to recite that stupid motto in front of a live audience was physically painful. Almost as painful as being digested probably would be. Speaking of, he hadn't thought of that when he focused on the battle. Maybe playing along and complaining later would take his mind off things.

"Hey, could you keep your mic here so I can talk without yelling?" Landon could vaguely tell he was reciting the motto into a mic, from what he could hear outside. He waited a few seconds before continuing. "Alright. Also, can you stop fawning over me? It's very strange." He pointed out.

Meanwhile, the crowd was able to see what Landon couldn't: Kabutops having to dodge attacks from the Space Pokemon itself.

nbfjubgep_1d20+1(Avalanche save: Failed)

p_1d20-2(Spacial Rend Dodge: Success!)

Kabutops was caught off guard, and couldn't do much when he was assaulted by a literal avalanche of snow. It couldn't possibly avoid it, and the attack itself was simply too much. By the end of it, Kabutops was shivering like crazy, and had to climb out of the snow before Palkia attacked it again. Luckily, it got out just in time, and managed to jump out of the way of Palkia's Spacial Rend. 'Too close...' Kabutops thought.

"I'm not sure what's going on out there, but if you're still up, I need you to keep fighting. Hit it with an Ice Beam!" Landon said, unaware of what had just happened, and thus the irony was lost on him. Still, Kabutops didn't think twice about it, and shot a cold beam of ice at Palkia, as a sort of revenge.


p_1d20+1(Ice Beam @ Palkia: Does it even matter? It would deal 20% damage with a 25% freeze chance but....)

Okay, that shot went wild. All the poor Kabutops could do was berate itself in its head.

"Now use Take Down!"

Kabutops decided that that might help, even if only a little. Disappointed with its ranged attempts, it decided to go all out in melee. It sprinted forward, angrier than it was previously, and aimed to collide with the godlike Palkia headfirst.


p_1d20+1(What.)

(...Deals 27% damage, 5% recoil on hit...)

"Hey, Kabutops, I need to impress the crowd for a bit. Do you think you can do a dab, directed towards Piplup?" Landon never thought he'd say that in his life. He was pretty sure Kabutops didn't know what a dab was, so he continued.

"A dab is basically where you tuck your face into your elbow, and extend your other hand behind you. It's....uh...hip with the kids, or something."

Kabutops, currently face-down in snow due to tripping during his sprint, heard this command. He got up, shivering even more than before, partially due to the cold and partially due to mounting frustration, and scanned the battlefield for Piplup. After finding it, Kabutops locked eyes with it, and did the unthinkable.

Kabutops has dabbed on Piplup. Arceus help us all.

Black beamed slightly as she was pat on the head. The finer things in life! She did, however, notice Dawn's reaction. When Dawn specifically asked for an item that didn't involve gobbling anyone up, she momentarily appeared conflicted. Or perhaps more accurately, like her feelings were hurt. Was... Dawn lowkey unhappy with her? Was that what she was picking up on? "...I guess that's what happens when your pokemon is a famous movie star." White mused aloud, commenting on the audience's focus upon Black with a helpless shrug. Well, she didn't have a better explanation! After a brief moment though, Black quickly recovered from her momentary conflicted feelings and put on a nice smile.


"I think I've got just the thing~!"

Black dug around in her bag for a moment before plucking out...


King K Rool’s Crown!

With this nifty little trinket, the user can pose as the king of the kremling krew. Kremlings will be quick to recognize you as royalty, thus they bow to your every whim. It is not merely for show though, with this crown you can tap into the well of Kremling Luck. You may tap into this well 2 times per thread, allowing you to interchange a roll that would normally take 1d20 and trade it for 1d2. If you roll a 1, it is a critical fail, if you roll a 2, it is a nat 20 crit.

"Tada~!"



" . . . . . . Black, where did you get that crown?"

"I have no idea~!"

Black then delicately sat the crown upon Dawn's head! ...It was probably slightly big on her, given that it was designed for King K Rool's head. But then, it was a skinny crown anyway. So it was likely tall if anything.

Meanwhile, Blue awkwardly produced a smaller microphone and began fiddling with a bobby pin. After a few moments of considering exactly what she was about to do, she re-approached Black and bent over, using the bobby pin to clip the microphone to the bottom of Black's cheerleader blouse. "Thank goodness these uniforms are two-piece." Blue remarked. She then playfully grasped Landon's head through Black's stomach, giving it a light rub as if to ruffle his hair. "Got you all set up with a mic, Landon~! Try not to wiggle around too much in there you lil' cinnamon bun, or it might fall off~!" Blue chirped rather light-heartedly, clearly amused with the situation. She then stood back up,

11 proll=1d20-2] (Ice Beam Dodge - Success)

Cinnawonn honestly didn't even try to evade Kabutops' ice beam. It was so weak and flew so wildly, that it just harmlessly glanced off of the pokemon's face like it were nothing. ".....Paa." He remarked in amusement, bending his head down to stare at the opposing pokemon. Really? This was his opponent now? Well, it was coming in close so maybe close combat was it's strong sui-

3 (Headbutt Dodge - Surprisingly close, but success)

....Yeah, no this thing was just pitiful. The Space God likened it to fighting a baby that had just hatched out of an egg. What was he, level 1?

"What is he, level 1?" Dawn mused aloud, unknowingly mimicking her partner's thoughts exactly. Now sporting a slightly heavy but very nice crown to match her acclaimed fame seriously black where did you get this thing she was ready to get this battle running. Or at least finish it off, judging by the strength of her opponent's pokemon. She was about to give the Palkia an order to finish the guy off... before he suddenly rushed at her and Piplup. "Huh?!" Dawn gasped, taking a precautionary step back as Piplup rushed in front to protect his trainer. No matter what kind of attack this thing was trying to pull off, he wa-.... "Pip???" He confusedly remarked, mimicking his trainer's expression as the pokemon "dabbed" on him.

"..........Cinnawonn, j-just.... Just finish him off already." "Pip..... Pipluuuup."

"Paaaaaalkia." A bit annoyed, and underwhelmed, Palkia waited until Dawn and Piplup distanced themselves some more before setting to work on taking this excuse for a pokemon down.

17 (Dragon Breath@Kabutops: 12% DMG, 30% inflict paralysis)
13 (Earth Power@Kabutops: 18% DMG)

With a mighty roar, Cinnawonn send a blaze of burning dragon fire down from it's maw to scorch the armored bug raw before practically detonating the earth itself underneath the pokemon in a grand explosion. Looks like he wasn't messing around anymore.

Meanwhile, Dawn turned to Black, starting to get a little annoyed with her opponent. "Hey Black? Is there anyway you could maybe... knock him out in there or something? You know... make this easier on all of us." She remarked, raising an eyebrow. Whether that panned out or not at least the battle looked like it was going to be an easy one either way. Maybe she should go check out some more of those requests. The bluenette's eyes scrolled down the screen a few times before landing on a perplexing one. "Do a rant about Cynthiaaaaaa....." She trailed off, a mixture of emotions evident through her facial expressions on this particular topic. Nevertheless, she pushed them all aside with a haughty laugh before turning towards Black with a warm smile.

"Can you believe these guys? Pshh--I mean, 'rant about Cynthia'? Hah! What's there to rant about?" Huh, guess she wasn't gonna do the reques- "I mean, she's a seriously terrible trainer. Don't know how she became a champion when all she does is cheat every single battle with a bunch of full restores, seriously it's like she goes out after every battle and just buys ten of them. You know, I bet she does that! There's a pokemart outside the elite four pretty sure! And she lords over every victory so much it's infuriating; I mean, yeah, great you beat me for the fiftieth time. Congratulations! Your usage of healing potions is truly a testament to your experience and aptitude!" Oh guess she wa-"AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF SHE HAS THE GAL TO ACT HAUGHTY AND TRY TO GIVE ADVICE?! I don't need advice! I need you to just battle and shut your face hole up so I can win and kick you out but nooooooooo. Each one's gotta be a learning experience! GOD kicking her off of her high chair was the best feeling ever. Like seriously, just the satisfaction I felt getting that champion position was nothing compared to knowing she wouldn't have it anymore. HAH!"

...

((Audience Request: Cynthia Rant completed))


Both of Dawn's pokemon stared at her with worried expressions. Jeez, they hadn't seen her go off like that about Cynthia since back in Sinnoh. They were having such a long record period too. Welp, time to set that "Days since last Cynthia rant" meter back to zero.

Taking a deep breathe, Dawn paused before turning back to Blue with a warm and enthusiastic smile; as if completely oblivious to her rant just seconds earlier. "So yeah, think it's a bit of a silly request right? What do you girls think?"

Kabutops was not having a good day. What would you expect. He had just faceplanted during a charge, as if he had suddenly forgotten how to use his legs. People seemed to be looking down upon him, recognizing the Shellfish Pokemon's failure, as Palkia's trainer remarked how "low level" it must've been. The only thing getting Kabutops' mind off of its crippling embarrassment was the opportunity to assert its dominance on the small penguin. It made it seem like he didn't give a care in the world, when really, Kabutops was dying on the inside. What really wasn't helping was Palkia's continued assault.

Kabutops was in a bad position, and couldn't help itself very well by trying to dodge. Landon didn't even know when the hell Palkia would attack. Kabutops just brought up a shield, and felt the air around it heat up and the ground crumble, as Kabutops saw his shield crack and groan under the assault. By the time it was over, the shield was close to its breaking point. As the smoke cleared, Kabutops was visible again, no worse for wear, but with a rather angry look on his face. Staring down his much taller (also stronger, most likely) combatant, Kabutops suddenly broke into a fast sprint. Or, at least somewhat fast. His body was still rather stiff and jittery after that wave of cold from before.

Z9WXMQeEp_1d20+1(Slash @ Palkia: 14% damage)

Kabutops jumped high, slashing the bottom of Palkia's neck. He wasn't looking to make things gruesome, but he definitely wanted to leave a mark.

"Kabutops, what's going on?" Landon asked, hearing the commotion, still inside of his warm, squicky prison.

"Kabu!" Kabutops uttered, which surprised Landon quite a bit, as Kabutops didn't speak very much. He didn't understand Pokemon speak, but it roughly translated to "Shut up and let me handle this."

"...Huh?"

p_1d20+1(Water Pulse @ Palkia: 18% damage, 30% chance to soak)

Kabutops continued striking back, taking a step back before spitting out a ring of fresh water at Palkia's chest. Kabutops' sudden ferocity continued after that, though, with Kabutops still not ready to throw in the towel.

Speaking of towels, Palkia would probably be needing one.

p_1d20+1

p_1d20+1(3 Scratches @ Palkia: 6% damage each)

Kabutops scratched at the Space Pokemon's skin, trying to deal a little extra damage. However, Kabutops knew that his scratches didn't do much individually. In fact, you could say that the name "Scratch" described the move's damage output perfectly. Despite this, Kabutops hoped to fight as long as he was able, wearing down his opponent, despite seemingly being at a disadvantage.

Black hesitated a moment at Dawn's request, glancing down at her stomach with a slightly concerned expression on her face. ...Knock Landon out? Landon might be able to hear Black's heart pick up the pace and begin to race as she considered the idea. It certainly startled her a bit. But on the other hand, if she just stood there feeling conflicted about this she'd disappoint Dawn! ...She quickly formulated a plan. Black raised her arms and gave Dawn a thumbs up and a wink. "No problem, Dawn. He's no match for me and my tummy~" Black light-heartedly reassured with a firm shake of her head, patting the top of her stomach around where she knew Landon's head was, both to be a bit of a show off for Dawn and to get his attention. She then shifted to speak to her mid-section once Dawn was moving to read the audience requests. "Hey~ Your pokemon are worried about you! While you're in my body you have to follow my rules, alright? That means no more chatting it up unless Dawn or I says so. If you're a good boy and you behave, I won't have to digest you or anything like that~!" Black instructed in an affectionately firm tone, asserting some dominance in a good-natured manner. It seemed like she was reluctant to actually hurt Landon, however, instead using her position of power over him to negotiate his cooperation.

...And then, they were all subjected to a Cynthia rant.

The other girls just kinda quietly watched, too polite to interrupt. Did... Did they correct her and point out she'd just done the thing? Did they agree with her and move on? One by one, the girls seemed to come to their conclusions.

"Yeaaah, it is pretty silly~ Heehee~" Black light-heartedly replied, supportive as always.
"...Yeah, you're probably right. What's there to say anyway?" White added. It was her way of lowkey disapproving of the rant itself but choosing to support Dawn regardless.


"I don't know. I think they're more interested in picking at that amazing brain of yours, Dawn~❤"

DpbebEuIp_1d20-1 (Water Pulse Evasion - Fail)

Cinnawonn had been so preoccupied by his trainer that he had momentarily forgot about the literal bug he was supposed to be fighting. Hell, pretty much everyone probably did. However, a sharp reminder in the form of a pulse of water and a scratch upon the armor plating along its neck proved suitable enough to draw the beast's attention back to Kabutops. Pray that it did not regret it.

p_1d20-1 (3 Scratches Evasion - Success)
p_1d20-1 (Failure)
p_1d20-1 (Success)

No longer distracted, the god of space easily evaded and deflected all of Kabutops' pitiful attempts to cut him; almost as if he were fighting a child. Instantly the pokemon god's claws began to radiate spacial energy before they lashed out with a vengeance onto the unfortunate bug pokemon.

p_1d20+3 (Spacial Rend@Kabutops: DMG 30% -> 45% (crits at 19); consumes 2 actions; 2 turn cooldown)

Once he'd finished, the beast pokemon's eyes began to glow a brilliant blue hue before an enormous rift in space once more opened up above the entire stadium. This time though, rather than snow, a torrential downpour of water quite literally flooded into the arena; submerging everyone inside. (Thankfully he once more created dry pockets of air for everyone on his side to stay safe in...... So pretty much everyone except Kabutops. Rushing towards Kabutops like the water surrounding him meant nothing, Cinnawonn continued with it's merciless assault; keen on fulfilling his trainer's wishes and ending this fight as soon as possible.
