His gamble with the Will-o-wisp was moot, but an attempt was better than none. With the misty terrain setting the stage, the ground was now layered with a strange pink that covered the wooden floor. Although, if he tapped on the ground, he could still make some sound with his shoes tapping on the ground.
"Hehe. Your Sylveon is interesting in its own too. You don't usually see Pokemon with things on their head besides horns. Where are you and your Pokemon from?" He smiled. Although there were some Pokemon like Cubone with skull on their heads, or Litwick with a flame on their head, having "ribbons" on your head was strange to see on another Pokemon.
"Cover, you're doing great! I took a silly little risk, that's all. Now use Phantom Force!" He shouted his next move, as his Pokemon seemingly created a glowing purple portal underneath it, and sunk into it. When it was ready, it would strike against the opponent.
OOC: phantom force x2
Please talk about alolan trial this post or next as well as the dancing boost crystal to introduce this concept to my character thanks

With few options, unless Ethan made some sort of mistake, Valeries goal wasn't to win this battle, that was impossible from how things looked, but to make sure Gloria still looked spectacular. "Thank you, Gloria is a one of a kind! I do not agree with you that horns are the only common thing, what about all the pokemon with manes? Or pokemon like alcreamie, florges or hatenna? They too have things on their head which is not horns. It is what makes them unique and it gives me so much inspiration," she said with a secretive smile. "Gloria, lighten up with a light screen, let us make this stage glow!" Valerie ordered and a shimmering pink tube formed around the sylveon, reflecting the swirling pink mist. Cover seemed to fizzle out and disappeared. Valerie smiled gently, this was going to be a very long battle. "Dazzling gleam!" The light became refracted by the light screen and sent its rays all over the stage, the crowd gasped and cheered in awe at the magnificent sight. Couldn't have the paying spectators got bored or got a bad evening, it could rub off on the Kimono Girls and Valerie wouldn't accept that. Cover appeared behind Gloria inside the light screen and swatted lightly at Gloria. The sylveon leaped to face it, and Cover disappeared into the ground, the purple portal there hidden by the mist. Another dazzling gleam followed, even more pretty than the one before and several phones in the hands of the spectators were busy recording this spectacular light show. "Playing it safe I can see, got nothing else but Phantom Force?" Valerie asked gently, "if you have a ghostium z now would be the time to use one," she suggested, as 'never-ending nightmare' would look great through the misty terrain. "To answer your question, we're from Laverre City in Kalos, and we came here to visit our great sisters and learn the beauty of their eeveelutions," she explained. "And you? Are you? Are you here to enjoy their beauty as well?"The Kimono Sisters blushed even though it had been clear it had been their pokemon Valerie had meant. "Time to spice things up Gloria, Psyshock!" Valerie called out and the sylveon formed a many colored orb between her ribbons and sent it swirling over the ground, where it picked up the mist which seemingly got sucked into the psychic energies. When it came around to Gloria again, she grabbed it with a ribbon and directed it towards the ceiling, the pink mist trailing after it and cleared the floor. Just as Cover appeared, the orb hit the wood above and exploded in light and colors which rained down over the two pokemon, while he gave the sylveon yet another swat.

Tooc: what tarlar say for the rp conversation will-o-wisp
Valerie mentioned Pokemon with manes, and he could only think of like, Pyroar, Rapidash, and maybe Zebstrika. Pokemon who have four legs and significant hair growth around the top or the back of their head and body, which weren't a lot. Ethan smiled as he heard the opponent's suggestion of other Pokemon. "Those Pokemon sounds interesting, but sadly, I've never met them, or seen them."
He knew that his Shedinja put his opponent in a tough spot where the poor Sylveon can't possibly hit it at all. However, that didn't stop the Pokemon from showcasing its display of moves, which were Misty Terrain, Dazzling Gleam, Light Screen, and Psyshock. The attacks were dazzling, brilliant, and offensively pink. He watched carefully and quietly as his ghost type attacked around the sparkling performance. He was sure that if he sent out anything besides his Shedinja, he would have a hard time hitting this Sylveon.
"I am from Hoenn, a little bit of Mauville and Slateport City I guess. I have arrived Ecruteak City recently, and decided to explore the local scene a bit before I continue on again. I had indeed learned about Eevee and their evolutions." he replied, explaining his place of origin.
"Cover did have other attacks, but I can't use them just because you ask, of course. Now, what is this ghostium Z you talked about? What does it look like and do you have one yourself?" He asked curiously. "Try to keep it simple though, I'm not great with complicated explanations." He jested.
After the Psyshock was used, it seemed like the Misty Terrain had dissipated. Ethan decided to seize this opportunity to try again with his earlier attack. "Cover, go for a Will-o-wisp again!" He ordered his Pokemon. This fairy type opponent was a little tough, and if he wanted to put a dent on this thing, he would have to rely on passive burned damage, if it hits that is!

"I see," Valerie remarked. "What an unusual dance we find ourselves in. It's quite beautiful, don't you agree?" The mists faded, revealing both contestants clearly upon the stage. Though Gloria couldn't do a lick of damage, dragging this battle on in a lovely way was impressive in itself, and a visual spectacle that the audience was enjoying. Her head tilted at his query, "Have you not heard of Z-Crystals?" She smoothed a hand over her sleeve, "While I am not using one in this battle, I am in possession of them. They are a remarkable phenomena from Alola. Those who have completed a totem trial receive amulets and Z-rings that allow them to use the crystals to great effect, unlocking special moves that they otherwise cannot use. They are delightful to witness." She slipped a slim hand into her sleeve and pulled it out, revealing a small, diamond shaped crystal. "Defeat me, and this will be yours. Perhaps it will be the first step in you discovering the stunning beauty of Z-Moves." She returned the crystal to her sleeve, "For now, our dance must remain glorious. Gloria, set the stage once more so that you may dazzle and shine like no other!" Pink mists flooded the stage once more, and once again, that will-o-wisp was dispersed by the offensively pink terrain.

He wasn't sure if Valerie was talking about dancing of their conversations or the battle where her Sylveon couldn't hit his Shedinja. "Uh, yes, I agree." He gave a short reply.
"I've only heard of Mega stones. Now there's crystals that boosts Pokemon?" He asked curiously, with more questions to follow. "So I have to get a Z-ring and then complete Alolan Trials? Got it." He paused. "Except, after this battle I'll have to look at where Alola is, and how to get there." He stated. He's not the best at geography.
He was disappointed to see that the Sylveon acted fast enough to disperse the Will-o-wisp once again. Luck wasn't on his side today, wasn't it? He resumed to call out the tried and true move. "I have other moves for Cover too, but Phantom Force have more impact. Use it again, Cover!" He called out his attack once again, and the motionless bug created yet another glowing purple portal underneath it.

"I have heard rumors of someone attempting to set up trials here in Johto. A native of Alola. But I have not investigated further to determine if these claims have substance. Perhaps before you book a ticket to the Alolan Islands, you can see for yourself if there are trials here?" Valerie suggested. "If there are...they will be able to explain in better detail than I." As Cover once more vanished underground, Valerie swept her arm out, "You are center stage once more, Gloria. Dazzle our audience." The sylveon crooned as she summoned a fresh light screen. The pinkish screen reflected the misty terrain and somewhat obscured the sylveon like a game of smoke-and-mirrors. She pranced and danced and whirled, her ribbons trailing after her as she danced her spritely dance, solo on the stage. Then, she shot a beautifully dazzling beam at her own light screen and watched as the energy scattered, filling the air with a glittering dust. Valerie swayed as well. This looked more like a coordinator show than a battle, but there was little else she could do beyond make the battle beautiful when she couldn't hit her foe. Speaking of which... The ghost emerged and smacked Gloria again, earning an ooooh from the audience. "Totem" Battle Weather: Indoors [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Gloria LV 41 HP 21% [30/141]

Ethan nodded as Valerie explained. "Ooooh. That's a good idea! I'll definitely look into that after this battle!" After his Shedinja had resurfaced from another dimension, the stage still had some sparkles left from the light screen and dazzling gleam combination. "You've put on quite a brilliant show! You probably didn't expect me to have a Shedinja. I'm sorry to put you on such a strange spot." He smiled at the other trainer. Well, there was one thing left to do, and it was to use Phantom Force again and hopefully end this battle. Using Shedinja was a risk on its own if the opponent came with certain weather moves or super effective moves or something. "Cover, use Phantom Force again!" He ordered his next attack, the same as the last few ones. The Shedinja hummed and dove into its portal, yet again. OOC: use my bar if I win.

Valerie smiled mysteriously and offered a small bow in acknowledgement of Ethan's quickly approaching victory. "Gloria. It appears this may be our final act. Give our wonderful audience a proper finale!" she lifted her arms, her eyes slipping shut as the shedinja vanished. She was at peace with her loss. They were able to make such a beautiful show regardless. She could feel the admiration and awe from the audience who watched her sylveon dance with absolute rapture. Gloria took her cue to heart. With the pink mists swirling around her, she leapt to the front of the stage and created a series of screens above the audience, shielding them in that beautiful barrier. Pink-tinted rainbows danced and dazzled, reflecting every movement in light that scattered across the surface. Then, Gloria used dazzle gleam to break every single of the screens with a bright flash of glittering, fae light. Shimmering dust like stars rained down upon the audience who began to roar their approval. And then like a love interest in a stage drama, she stiffened suddenly and swayed, collapsing like in picturesque tragedy as Cover slashed her across the back. The audience fell silent... THEN CHEERED! What. A. Show! Valerie returned Gloria and the Misty terrain faded, leaving the two trainers alone on the stage. "That was a marvelous battle. Thank you for such a magnificent show. It seems even I have much to learn about battling," she said, brushing some hair from her face. "Here. These are for you, for indulging my request to battle." The crystal and a TM. "This is Eevium Z. Should you find a Z-Ring, any eeveelution that holds that crystal will be able to unlock a special move. And this is dazzling gleam. It was quite beautiful, wasn't it? Make good use of it, friend." She would turn to Bobby, who was watching with a stoic expression. He nodded. She nodded back before addressing the audience, "It was an honor to perform for you today. Thank you for being such a wonderful audience." And she bowed. Then, the mysterious gym leader from lands beyond...would retreat to her bodyguard's side and vanish in a swarm of devoted fans.

Ethan admired Valerie's quick adaptability to him using a Shedinja, and use the center stage as a means to put on a show for the sitting audience. With the ghost type's last smack, the Sylveon was down, albeit in a dramatic way that he wasn't expecting. A Pokemon that knew how to react theatrically would also require some specialized training. The crowd cheered at the end of the brilliant show, though it was basically to Valerie's effort.
Ethan happily accepted his rewards from the traveler from somewhere far away. His eyes stared down on the crystal on Valerie's hands. "Thank you. I don't even have an Eevee myself, but I will look into this thing and the Alolan Trial!" After this expert granted her farewell to the audience, the curtain closed. Ethan spoke his thanks to Bobby and Valerie, and exited the stage as well. He made his way back to the audience section to double check if he left any belongings, and left with the crowd.
