Chevaleresse

So, I'm having trouble deciding a couple things 1. Should Lucas evolve into a Gallade or a Gardevoir? This is partially based on whatever megas people plan on having. I was going to go with M-Garde, but iirc someone mentioned wanting that. 2. I'm not sure how mean I should make Kage. He's not supposed to be a particularly nice character (though not mean either, just not super altruistic) and I feel I have written him as being too nice. (Except to Ryan, he's supposed to be nice to his bf.) 3. I seriously can't figure out what battle themes to use for him. His team is mostly physical with an emphasis on slow, heavy hitters and this whole bias toward Zinnia's theme (which I don't really think fits him well) is not helping. (oml zinnia's theme, 2gud)

i swear to drunk i'm not god

Kage covered his mouth as another yawn cracked his jaw open. He wandered over to a plain practice field with a few Substitute dummies set up, the taps of his cane echoing through the room. "Alright, guys, let's take this one from the top. Reina, you've got Bite and Rock Tomb down, obviously. How about we do a Dragon Dance?" The Tyrunt roared and her tail lashed as energy whirled around her, as she called on her proud and ancient lineage to give her power and speed to strike those who opposed her down. "Sounds good, now Bulldoze those dummies!" Kage nearly fell over as his directions were followed and the ground shook. "Alright, alright, you're good. Here." He held out a Pokeblock for Reina, who took it from his outstretched hand almost daintily. "al'Thor, you're up next." The Steel-type floated toward one of the dummies. "Hone your claws, then smack one of those things with an Ice Punch." There was a sound of screeching metal as al'Thor sharpened xyr metallic claws by scraping them off of one another. Then, a sound almost like breaking glass resounded as the aforementioned appendages were covered in ice and slammed into the unfortunate practice dummy. Kage winced, but was happy with the Metang's progress. "Let's have a- oh, alright." Kage was about to ask for a Light Screen when he heard the faint sound of one being created. It was hard to judge whether it was properly formed, but he had a lot of faith in al'Thor's abilities. "One for you too." He fished the Pokeblock out of the case, then it promptly floated itself over to al'Thor and into xyr mouth. "That works." "How about you, Vir-" Kage was cut off once again as the Axew bounded forward and slammed the ground, sending another Bulldoze through the field. This time, she sent Kage all the way over. Kage heard a reverberation similar to the one produced by Reina earlier, so he stuck his arm straight out, and a beam of red light lanced outward from the Pokeball he was holding, gathering the small Dragon-type into itself and returning to the ball. He sighed. "Are you ever gonna behave yourself?" He honestly worried about what would happen when she evolved. She was already rebellious and barely followed his orders; he could only imagine the disasters that would occur if she got worse. Gently shaking Lucas awake, he spoke in a quiet voice to the Ralts. "Hey, bud, I don't wanna be awake either, but we've gotta practice if we want to pull this off." Lucas blinked at his Trainer slowly, then slid down to the ground. "Let's see that Hidden Power again." The Ralts lifted his arms, and a pair of white rings appeared around him. After expanding for a moment, they flew toward one of the dummies, surrounded it, and contracted almost faster than one's eye could follow. There appeared to be no effect for a moment, but then the Substitute doll burst into flames before extinguishing itself. "Nice, great work on that one. How about Trick Room? Pretty sure Reina's faster than you are." Lucas focused again for a moment as a strange sensation permeated the room. Reina, having practiced this before, started to run after the Ralts as he skittered across the field. Despite her best efforts, the Ralts remained frustratingly out of reach. After a few moments of this, Kage clapped. "Awesome, looks like everyone's got their moves down. Now, who wants to go to the fair?" After a couple minutes of walking, Kage and his partners reached the fair, sans Virtes who was still on timeout in Kage's pocket. He found himself drawn to the smell of the barbecue, and drifted toward the booth where it was taking place.

This seems interesting.

Slash is part of the normal levelup moveset.

Not sure whether I want Lucas to evolve into a Gallade or a Gardevoir. What megas are planned already? Also, how do these movesets look? Reina (Tyrunt) -Bite -Bulldoze -Rock Tomb -Outrage (not at full power, though, and not really a move that Kage commands. Probably around 80 BP right now?) -Stealth Rock -Dragon Dance Lucas (Ralts) -Confusion -Draining Kiss -Hidden Power Fire -Magical Leaf -Calm Mind -Trick Room al'Thor (Metang) -Metal Claw -Brick Break -Pursuit -Ice Punch -Hone Claws -Light Screen Virtes (Axew -Dual Chop -Slash -Bulldoze -Poison Jab -Dragon Dance -Roar Not sure about a few of these, which is why I ask.

conclave, probably

Kage yawned. He had a loose-fitting jacket on over a tee with a slightly wrinkled pair of jeans on, and he hadn't bothered to make sure they actually matched in any fashion. (That was normally difficult anyway, but especially so when he was running on about two hours of sleep.) His parents were showing up later, anyway, so it didn't matter that he wasn't particularly presentable. Lucas wasn't perched on his shoulder as usual; instead, he was cradled inside Kage's jacket as he dozed. The Ralts hadn't evolved yet, despite being strong enough to do so. al'Thor, on the other hand, had evolved mid-battle much to Kage's (and his opponent's) surprise, and was presently floating along a short distance behind xyr trainer. Reina was keeping Virtes in line as the two followed in Kage's paces. The teen stumbled his way into the training facility, ready to get some last-minute training going.

Kage laughed. "Yeah, I guess that's a good thing. The part where both of us aren't freaking out, heh, not the part were you're in distress. I'm not into that, don't worry."

"Been kind of thinking about how I've been treating my Pokemon lately. It isn't really fair, how much work Lucas has been doing because I lied. Other than that, no, not really." He thought for a moment. "Well, Reina going out of control in that last battle bugs me. I think we're gonna need some more one-on-one time. Also, you don't think I'm a coward or something for forfeiting, do you?"

"Yeah, yeah, just sour about losing. I wanted to fight, but I wasn't gonna put my Pokemon through a losing battle like that. My pride isn't worth their suffering." After a moment, he asked Ryan a question. "So, how are you doing?"

no steel coverage Btw Chim, would a breeder learn how to tell a pokemon's IVs and Hidden Power by close examination in class?

"Come over here and I'll show you who the princess is." He held out the red ball, recalling Reina before she could take any more hits. "Damnit," he muttered under his breath. None of his Pokemon were strong enough to pull off moves like Earthquake or Bulldoze, and he wasn't sure what type Lucas's Hidden Power was. "I would teach you a lesson, but unlike some people, I'm actually concerned about what happens to my Pokemon during the battle, so I won't try to force them past their limits. You win." He turned to walk away, frustration clearly evident on his face.

giff theme pls

Reina's rage had cooled when the Frogadier was removed from her line of sight. She looked back to Kage for directions, but the fatigue of her prior encounter was clearly showing. Kage was reaching for her pokeball when he heard his opponent call out an attack. It was too late to recall his Tyrunt; the attack was already flying. "Surround yourself with Rock Tomb, quick." The Tyrunt mustered a heavy stomp, causing large slabs of rock to force themselves up out of the ground. Then, Kage turned to Slade and called out at him. "Hey, jackass, mind cooling it for a sec so I don't drive my Pokemon into the dirt?"

I've been havinng some internet trpuble.

Once her jaws locked onto Sasuke's leg, she began to shake the Frogadier around, ignoring the attack about to be fired in her face.

Reina is close to fainting, btw, she's just throwing a tantrum and ignoring the hits.

The Tyrunt was too focused on her attacker to dodge. The attack hit her full on, but didn't stop the feisty dragon from lashing out with a savage clamp of the jaws at Sasuke. Kage was calling out orders for her to dodge and retreat, but she wasn't listening to either of tye languages he used.

Sarcus came back around the corner with his hands up. "It's just me, guys. I got split up from everyone else; you're the only ones I could find."

I already took two hits, but the whole 'dodge every single attack' thing is starting to get on my nerves.

No, but they're big and heavy, and a few might hit him.
