[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Karen accepts the handshake; "Yeah, I'm here for the badge, got two Sinnoh badges, and the Mineral badge from Johto, but you probably wouldn't count that one."

Candice looks at Karen carefully after that response.  For some reason, she gets the feeling that this teenage girl in front of her has a lot more than just 2-3 gym badges...

"...hmmmm...well, alright then."

The Ice type Gym Leader then turns and shouts at one of her gym trainers near the edge of the ice rink.

 "Hey Isaiah, level the battlefield, would ya?"

The Ace Trainer in question salutes and heads to a console nearby as the other gym trainers all quickly (and gracefully) move out of the center of the room.  Once everyone's clear, Isaiah presses a button, and a retractable floor covers the pit in the middle of the ice rink!  *kachunk*  It looks like a standard Pokemon League Battlefield now!

Albeit one covered in ice, of course.  This is still a skating rink, after all.

It's also like a switch has been flipped for Candice's personality, too, as she entirely stops referring to herself in the third person now that she's about to get involved in a battle.


"I'm ready when you are!  Go ahead and take your position on the opposite end of the battlefield!  The referee will tell ya the rules before we begin."

Athletics check to get there:
(5)(1)(1) Karen slips and falls this time, being the klutz that she is.  One of the gym trainers helps her get back up and maneuver over to her position on the battlefield.

The referee takes her position on the side of the battlefield so she can officiate the match.  She holds up a green flag.

"Is the challenger ready?  The challenger may use up to 6 pokemon, while the Gym Leader will use 4.  No items besides what the pokemon are holding are allowed, the battle will be a Singles match, and the pokemon will battle until they can no longer fight. Pokemon may each only use 4 unique moves in this battle as well.  The challenger may switch pokemon freely after every Round of combat.  On three, both combatants will send out their first pokemon simultaneously.  1...2...3!"

The flag is swiftly brought downwards to signal the battle's start.

Which pokemon is Karen sending out first?
