no feather dance
Alex was a bit shocked by his opponent sending out his already weakened Haunter to use Curse on his Ludicolo. Silver must really hated that jolly pineapple shaped dancer. "I don't know why you did just that, sacrificing your own Haunter just to curse my Ludicolo. I guess you probably won't explain anyways, right?"
Although this move put him in a predicament, as his Ludicolo was now paralyzed AND cursed. Upon seeing his opponent's Golbat, Alex wasn't anymore pleased either. He would have to swap out his Pokemon, so they won't faint. "Return, Lodd. You did great! Have a little break."
He didn't have to think too hard on the next Pokemon to handle Silver, as he had one more Pokemon that could his flying type Pokemon. "Gig, come on out. Use Screech then Roll Out!" He hollered, and the Ludicolo was replaced by an equally fully evolved Scolipede. The bug type let out a loud and terrifying shriek like in a horror movie, before dropping down and rolled on the depilated wooden floor in the tower.

"If you can't see the strategy of sacrificing a weak pokemon to improve your odds of victory, then what is there to explain?" Silver retorted. Haunter couldn't do much damage. It was speedy, yes, but weakened greatly by the butterfly with no recovery options. Its best use was to force Alex's annoying, tanky pineapple off the field so he could start doing some real damage. Because this was it. The last pokemon he had. And he needed to give golbat the best chance of surviving to do that hopeful sweep. When Gig was sent out, Silver already had a plan in mind. "Use confuse ray—" he began, only to cover his ears as the big, bug started to screech. "Stupid...freak..." Silver shook his head to clear the ringing. "GOLBAT! NOW! BEFORE IT CAN DO ANYTHING ELSE." Golbat, who was momentarily stunned stupid by the loud noise, snapped back to attention and shot a dazzling ray of light into the scolipede's eyes. As Gig curled up and began to spin like a wheel, Golbat lunged out of the way and watched as its foe rolled its way right into one of the beams. BAM! He hit with enough force to make the tower tremble and even unfurled, its rolling attack brought to an end before it really began. It was obvious now that the scolipede was very, very confused, as Gig struggled to track Golbat with its gaze. As soon as Gig pinpointed Golbat, Silver let out a new order, "Air cutter!" Slicing bands of air soon slammed into the big bug, carving out nasty wounds against its carapace.

"And out of all the moves, you had your Haunter use Curse? I understand that you wanted to win, but you couldn't have choose any other moves?" Alex replied, puzzled by his opponent's choice of action. He watched as the battle continued, and the now confused Scolipede got himself hurt by hitting something other than a Golbat. This battle was getting riskier for him to formulate a plan and to determine his next course of action. This Golbat can easily take out the rolling bug with another Air Cutter, if the confusion hadn't take himself out already. He could risk another turn to try to attack, or maybe heal up his other Pokemon for an offense.
He chose the latter. He grabbed a Cheri Berry from his backpack, and then pushed it into the Pokeball containing the Ludicolo. The berry disappeared into the air as it was sent into the Pokeball. The duo type should now be cured and ready to go for battle again, although probably no match for the Golbat's speed.

"It served its purpose," Silver insisted, feeling fully justified in his using curse. The haunter was on its last legs and no attack would knock out that dancing pinapple, and it would get knocked out anyway. Might as well put it to use by cursing it and forcing one of the weaker pokemon on Alex's team out. "Golbat, air cutter again!" With a screech, the bat sent sharp gusts of wind at the confused scoliopede, who stood there without further command as Alex did his best to restore his paralyzed ludicolo to better health. Likely because he knew that he didn't stand a chance with that pest down and out. People often underestimated zubat and its evolutions. While it took a while for it to become this useful, the combination of confusing and strong flying moves would surely put a dent in that annoying team of grass-types and bugs. "We. Aren't. Losing this." Silver was perhaps taking this battle a little too seriously now. His pokemon were obedient, though the golbat did glance back at him with a bit of uncertainty at that tone.

Alex was debating to react to Silver's use of the word "purpose", but he decided to let that one go, because it wasn't important right now. He watched as the Golbat used this opportunity to attack his Pokemon again with an Air Cutter. The Scolipede was looking tired, and he still hadn't hit a dent on the Golbat. He could heal his Pokemon or use the silver of Gig's health to put a dent on the flying bat. He at least agreed Silver with one thing, that he also wanted to win too. "Well, yup, I want to win too!"
"Hang in there, Gig! Use Poison Tail!" He ordered. His Pokemon was still confused, but he was hoping the Scolipede could push through the confusion and land a hit. The bug type was moving kind of wobbly way as he made himself closer to the flying pest. "You can do it! Fight through the confusion!"

Gig managed to push through. That last air cutter managed to clear Gig's head enough to focus on the golbat for one last ditch effort. Rolling up, he surged towards the bat, who was readying another series of sharp wind blades, and then unfurled, his tail glowing an ominous purple. BAM! He struck the bat, knocking it back a few flaps, but it quickly recovered and sent that terrible attack upon him again. The great bug toppled. Silver smirked, his expression a bit manic, "We're going to show you why your bugs are worthless..." He needed to believe this. Otherwise, that would mean the battle was pointless and he should have given up before it began. But Silver refused. He was better than this miserable bug-catcher that kept trying to make...POINTS. Like he was over there judging Silver. Bah. He wasn't worthy of exploring this tower and seeing if he could catch sight of a legendary pokemon if Silver wasn't. That was just how things worked.

ludicolo should be 100/111 after level up last used
This battle hadn't been going well with him. In fact, they're a little evenly matched as Silver knocked out another one of his Pokemon. While the Poison Tail did hit the Golbat as the Scolipede fought through the confusion, the flying Pokemon was able to return a massive flying attack back at him. Technically, Alex could have used Roll Out as well to land a hard hit at the Zubat, but sometimes, just sometimes, there would be a chance for it to miss.
Now, he would have to bring his Ludicolo back again, as Lodd got something that would help him as a best chance against the vampire menace. "Lodd, you're up again! Use Ice Beam on the Golbat!" He returned the fallen multi-legged arthropod, and sent out the jolly pineapple once again. As if the Burned Tower wasn't in bad enough shape, now he got a Pokemon trying to freeze the place if it didn't hit Golbat. Well, this can't be the Burned Tower's first winter.

"Get rid of that stupid thing with air cutter." Silver clearly had it out for the happy dancing pineapple. "DO NOT LOSE TO THAT TRASH POKEMON!" He even petulantly stomped a foot. The golbat reacted promptly. It whipped up sharp blades of wind, trying to banish that ludiocolo and thankfully not missing. The blistering beam of ice cut through the air just as it finished whirling the blades into motion and it had no time to react. It was slammed back into a pillar and almost frozen there. But it flapped vigorously and freed itself. Though it was clear by those sluggish beats that it was rapidly fading. Weakening. This battle was on the verge of loss for Silver. But the redhead just refused to see it. Rival Battle Weather: Clear [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Golbat LV 30 HP 2% [2/94]

"I just don't understand what do you have against the jolly go-happy Ludicolo." Alex replied, as a response to Silver's hostility toward his Pokemon. The Ludicolo did nothing wrong, she was just dancing and enjoying whatever music playing inside her head, or maybe she was practicing her dance moves, but Alex never bothered to ask. Even though the trainer knew that the Golbat was going for an Air Cutter again against his grass type, at least his Ludicolo was able to handle the hit decently. The Ice Beam, however, nearly knocked out the Golbat as it was flapping a little slower. With one more attack, the exhausted flying Pokemon should be down.
"Almost there, Lodd! Ice Beam again!" the trainer hollered, and his Pokemon readied again for yet another ice beam to send shiver down Silver's Pokemon.

"Knock it out! Don't let it win!" Silver demanded. His golbat did its best. Despite wavering strength and motivation, it whipped up those winds again, but the beam of ice cut right through its attack. As those blades sliced into Lodd, the icy retaliation slammed right into its face and into a pillar. The poor bat flopped to the ground in a helpless little heap. Plop! Silver trembled in frustration and his chin dropped to his chest. He was defeated. AGAIN. By this useless bug catcher and his puny weaklings. How embarrassing. All that was left to do was save face. Silver drew in a long breath and returned his defeated bat to its ball. He flashed Alex his best smirk and then strode forward, roughly pushing past him as if he didn't have a care in the world, "You got lucky this time. Those weaklings...they won't be able to keep up eventually...No doubt if you do see a legend, they'll have to run crying." He laughed as best he could and departed, leaving the other trainer alone on this floor of the tower. All that was left to do now was to venture downwards and see if the rumors were true or not...

SIlver tried to rally his Pokemon, but the Zubat couldn't hold its wings against the powerful Ice Beam. In a wing chilling blast, the flying menace was down, and with it defeated, Silver had no more Pokemon to send out. However, that didn't stop the redhead from giving one last grin for no reason. Alex could never understand this boy's insults at everything around him, even after a defeat. How hard was it for him to admit just once that he lost?
"I wouldn't call it luck, Silver. I think we're kind of even now. You've gotten better," Alex muttered to the red head before he disappeared. He wasn't sure if his opponent would hear and remember this compliment, but he would have to give him some credit for fainting and weakening most of his Pokemon.
Thanking his Ludicolo's help, the trainer headed down the Burned Tower, with Eusine behind, to see what lies await them.

Eusine glanced over a shoulder as he watched Silver vanish from sight. He rubbed the back of his head, "That was quite the battle. Is he always that...intense?" He offered a slight chuckle to break the tension as he caught up to Alex, as he'd thus far been lagging behind, watching from a distance as Alex moved along. This tower wasn't exactly stable, so it was a bit dangerous to share the stairs when traversing down to the next floor. "I will say I am thankful you got him to leave." As they descended further, the brokenness of the tower became more evident. They needed to step around gaping holes in the floor with blackened, charred edges. And pillars were strewn across their path, crumbled long ago and left to rot. The air was stifling and smelled of char and dust. Every instinct screamed for caution. Eventually, they were at the final flight of steps, dark and precarious, with missing boards and steps that tried to give way when they applied their weight. It would be easy to turn an ankle or tumble down to the ground below after just one minor misstep. Once at the ground, Eusine lead the way to the center of the room through the remnants of history that remained here, lost to time and disaster since passed. His steps faltered as three forms became evident. Each laid in repose, idle like a pride of litleo on a hot, sunny day. But their presence was immense. Their stare was piercing. Like they could see one down to the very core of the soul. "The legendary beasts," Eusine murmured. "They're here." The first to rise was a shaggy brown beast with smoke pluming from its back as it stretched without reason to care. Next to stand was a graceful blue beast with a diamond crest, violet mane and diaphanous white ribbons for tails. They exchanged glances as the last of the beasts lazily got up from its sprawl, its electric yellow coat and fluffy mane giving the impression of a lightning storm. The blue beast sniffed and padded closer, peering imperiously between Eusine and Alex, "We have been waiting for you."
The shaggy brown one seemed to nod its head, "We have been watching."
The yellow beast joined the blue and cocked its head, as if curious, "But we do not yet know if you are worthy."
The shaggy beast—Entei—let out a roar that seemed to make the very tower itself tremble. The blue one—Suicine—hopped back to join it, its stare like ice, judging, watching, perceiving. That left the yellow beast—Raiku—still standing before them. Its gaze was now fixated firmly on Alex. "Human. Face me in battle. Prove to us that you are worthy."
Raiku has challenged Alex to a battle!![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/raikou.png)
Level 35. Who will Alex choose to face him? Remember, young trainer, Pressure is active.

"He's always like this. I don't know what is wrong with him sometimes. You ever meet someone like this? He's like a teen, well, he kind of is a teen, in his acting tough phase. I'm not a girl, so if he was trying to pick up girls, then this isn't working on me." Alex jested along, wondering if Eusine had advice for talking or interacting with people like this.
Finally, they've went downstairs, and the lower floor was in worse state of chaos than the upper floors. Don't fire burn upwards? He was confused how it was messier in this floor than the one he was just on. Thankfully, Eusine led the way to greet the legendary Pokemon, and he just followed step by step to assure that he won't be falling into a traveler incident report.
He watched the legendary Pokemon as they slowly rose up from their resting pose. They're a lot of adjectives. Majestic, regal, courageous, unique, and more fancy vocabularies that were outside of his mind right now, as the creaky floor reminded him of safety precaution.
Then, he realized their mouth wasn't moving, so how did he understand they were talking to him, and from each legendary beasts separately. "How did you watch me?" was initially his question, and then Raikou walked forward to challenge them for a baattle.
"I hope you're ready. Spiden, start off with a Dig and then Leech Life!" He grabbed a Pokemon and sent out a crawling Pokemon into the field. He wasn't really thinking about damaging the tower some more with his digging Pokemon, but more like he didn't have a lot of Pokemon who would know a ground type move right now.
ooc: ariados use Dig and then Leech Life. so like, that'll take 3 turns total since dig is a 2 turn move

Eusine chuckled a bit at Alex' joke and shook his head at the thought of Silver's mean personality. "I doubt any girls would find it attracting too, I know some like bad boys, but like that? I find it hard to believe, I really hope they don't at least!"He was quiet as he concentrated on making his way down the stairs safely, when it didn't require as much of his attention, he said as in an afterthought, "I'm no expert but I'd say it would be the best to keep away from guys like him if possible, sounds like he's building himself up by degrading others."The raikou watched Alex unfathomable, "just like we talk to you, we have our ways," it said secretly. They hadn't revealed what he might or might not be worthy for, what kind of test was this? "Be careful," Eusine warned Alex when he accepted the challenge and let out Spiden, he retreated to a safe spot from where he could watch. "Simply amazing, I had never thought I should experience this!" He whispered to himself in awe, taking in the beasts in front of him. "Are you?" Raikou retorted with laughter and electricity crackled from its fur as it leapt at Spinde and slammed into her. She was quick to get through the crumbling fundation of the tower and disappeared underground. "Oh, how clever!" Eusine commented as Spiden was now out of reach of the electric legendary dog. Raikou looked around warily and cocked it's head listening, then it jumped on top of a boulder and waited. And waited, as Spiden refused to reveal herself so it growled quietly to itself and changed tactics. It leaped down and raced over the ground to the stairs and in two big strides it was half way up to the next level, but Spiden stayed underground. Raikou narrowed its down and raced over the ground again, and then Spiden suddenly bursted from right below and actually sent it flying and rolling over the ground. Eusine gasped impressed and the two other dogs in unison turned to look thoughtful at Alex. Another electric tackle which sent Spiden tumbling over the ground, an eaten berry and a retaliation of a buggy bite and Spiden felt pretty well afterwards. Raikou not so much, its legs was already trembling beneath it and Entei and Suicune watched curiously. "How can it be? Those attacks should have been much more powerful," Eusine thought aloud, "are they weakened by something? Or perhaps holding back?"Wild Encounter Weather: Inside [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Raikou LV 35 HP 14% [16/118]

ooc: Tarlar please delete sitrus berry from ariados's equip and -1 in inventory, total now is 22 use bar on ariados "I promise I am not intentionally running into him, he just seems to progress his gym the same time I do." Alex sighed after Eusine's advice. "One of us must be unintentionally stalking the other." He humored again. Raikou didn't exactly answered his question, so that would be a trade secret, he thought. And Eusine quickly retreated as the battle unfold, mesmerizing himself with the Pokemon's action in a simple battle. As long as Eusine didn't get hurt from being an audience, this should be okay. "If I say I wasn't ready, what would you do?" Alex asked curiously, as this wasn't a trainer battle, so one of them could technically leave. After disappearing underground, Alex observed the Raikou's quiet and calm awareness of its surrounding. Other Pokemon or trainer's Pokemon would likely look around and panic. Not this legendary Raikou. Even as a being of crackling electricity, it carried a calmness like lightning waiting for charges to build up before striking. The combination of Sitrus Berry and Leech Life helped Spiden to stay afloat and to fare better than the fading Raikou. Ariados weren't exactly a Pokemon known for taking hits, so these two were quite helpful to help her handle the opponent. "What?" the trainer turned to Eusine, confused by the surprise comment. However, he quickly focused the battle again. "We're almost there, Spiden! Use Night Shade!" While another Dig would have done the trick, Alex figured he probably shouldn't damage the floor twice this time.
