Both Pokemon were beaten up now, each exchanging heavy blows and causing some severe damage. Tamao was panting, the rocks taking their toll on the fox's health and ability to move around. Despite several confuse ray's and dark pulses, the Alolan bird was hanging in tough, granted with a little help from her trainer. As such, this battle was just about finished, the question really was, who would land the best final blow? Obviously both Pokemon wanted to, but that was just unrealistic. "Time for this to end. Tamao, quick attack, and take it down for good!" the kimino girl called, not realizing the magnitude of her mistake. Tamao raced forward before blurring to the vision, becoming a streak before slamming into the toucan Pokemon. Though Pia reeled back slightly, it was the unbelieving face of the Umbreon that drew much attention. In retaliation, Pia set her feet before the rocks were shot forward and since the fox Pokemon was closer now, the speed and velocity struck it much harder. Whining in pain, Tamao was thrown back and landed hard in the middle of the stage, before rolling a bit. When the roll finished, the lupine Pokemon was still, completely knocked out from the blows. Pia had done it, and now Astrid could claim victory over the second of the Kimino sisters.

Help. Help was what Astrid's role was, it was her most important role to be there when her pokemon needed her. She could be the weakest link as she couldn't do much during battle other than spray a potion or give an encouraging word. Once again it turned out to be enough as the umbreon raced over the ground to tackle Pia, but she withstood and sent it down to count with another blast of rocks. She was panting hard but regally raised her head proudly and bathed in the cheers of her victory, loudest from Silvia. Astrid sighed relieved and smiled proudly when Pia bowed respectfully for her opponents before she slowly turned and strolled to Astrid's side and took the other place, waiting to see the next battle. Silvia was beaming and did her best to mimic her mentor's stoic posture.
Astrid didn't get an answer from Zuki about how to handle the darkness, the battle ending demanded too much attention for small talk on the side, but to be honest Astrid didn't really care. How afraid she was or wasn't usually didn't affect the battle, she knew how to control it and it had rarely affected her pokemon. "That was a tough battle, we almost did not pull through," Astrid said warmly to the kimono girl, "thank you. You have finally given Pia the battle she has been yearning, something which really could put her to the test." She bowed her head gratefully, leaning heavily to her cane, she could really use a chair by now, her legs began to ache.
It was time, silence fell over the stage as they all waited for her to make the next move. Who was she going to send out? Astrid looked over the Kimono Sisters and tried to recall what eeveelutions there were, and which were left according to the colors of their robes. She had no clues which one would step forward of course, but when it came to typing, some of her pokemon would struggle more than others if they got a bad match. "Rita, it is your turn," Astrid decided and let out her black rat. Her whiskers twitched as she stood dead still on the stage. Astrid gave her the intro and the rules, "so they will send out your opponent and then we will have a friendly battle." The black raticate didn't answer and Astrid frowned, "Rita?" She asked worried but then her opponent would appear and Rita bolted. "Oh no," Astrid gasped, "Rita! It is alright!" The rat ran blindly at whoever was her opponent, fangs bared and ready to chomp, and ready to dash off to who knows where afterwards.

A fiery soul that refuses to be extinguished! The stage was set, anticipation hung heavy in the air and all eyes were on the next challenger; Miki, the fiery Kimono girl. With a graceful twirl, her kimono dress kindled with incandescent crimson, capturing the essence of her vivacious and extroverted personality. She reveled in the spotlight and made her entrance a true spectacle. " I am Miki and this is Incendio and together we are as radiant as the sun!" the Kimono girl introduced herself and her rutilant Flareon. Incendio was a sight to behold, his fur a blazing reddish-orange, and his eyes gleamed with confidence and determination matching the spirit of his trainer sublimely. " Prepare yourself for a battle that will set your world ablaze!" However, as the battle commenced, it was Rita, the Alolan Raticate, who made the first move. With lightning speed, she lunged forward, jaws agape, and delivered a powerful Super Fang attack, sinking her sharp fangs into Incendio. Miki couldn't help but shriek in surprise and a hint of fear at the sudden aggression. She quickly regained her composure, rallying her fiery spirit. " Incendio, we can't let that stop us! Show them our passion!" Miki's voice rang out, her determination unwavering. With a fierce resolve, Incendio responded. He twirled as elegantly as Miki had when she emerged on stage, his fur igniting to conjure a blazing vortex that engulfed Rita. The Raticate struggled within the searing tempest, her strength waning in the relentless inferno. She tried to run and hide but the whirlwind of fire trapped her.

This red dressed Kimono sister seemed more lively than some of the others, but it might made sense with how fire was know. Astrid wondered briefly if it was the girl's personality which had partnered with the flareon or if it was because she had a flareon, she had taken on the persona for the show. Astrid smiled at Miki's world play, "I hope not, that we set fires to your beautiful theater, that would be a shame," she said with a twinkle in her eye. Her good mood got wrecked a moment later when she realized what was up with Rita.
The dark furred raticate did manage to take the fire eeveelution by surprise and making Incendio wince and his trainer shriek when her fangs disappeared into the red fur. Rita let go quickly and spun around and raced away, she would have succeeded and probably disappeared somewhere backstage hadn't a ring of fire suddenly roared up and cut off her escape route. Rita froze in sheer panic as the light from the flames danced in her wide open eyes. As the fires crept closer she took a couple of steps away from it, while the smoke scratched her nose and told her brain she needed to get out as fires were dangerous!
"Rita, you are not alone, you do not have to do this. I am here," Astrid called out gently but her voice was too weak to reach her pokemon. "Toucannon!" Pia shouted, wanting the raticate to pull herself together and get a grip! Just then the fires flamed up Rita's back and she screamed, spinning around and lunged at Incendio, fangs bared once more.
Astrid's arm fell to her side again, Rita's pokeball still in her hand, and she winced as her legs hurt from having standing for so long. She watched on worried, feeling bad for what she had put Rita into.
(ooc: Rita uses Crunch, remember Hustle's effect ^^ doesn't seem to make any difference here, but was Rita's Swift feather consumed?)

"It is only natural to be afraid of fire," Miki said as she saw the raticate's natural reaction to the flames. "But fear not for our stage, as it has seen many battles before and we have not burned the theatre down with our passions yet." She withdrew her fan and hid her face behind it for a moment, lids fluttering. "But it is not just fire that one should be wary of from my dear Incendio. He is quite...audacious. The more risks one takes, the greater the rewards. And one must be bold to reap them!" The raticate, perhaps out of self-preservation or perhaps out of fear, who knew, lunged forward to land a powerful Crunch on her foe. But in her haste to try to escape that flames that licked at her fur, she scarcely slid by the flareon and those fangs passed through her fur, finding no bearing. "Incendio. It is time to dance." The flareon's eyes gleamed and his tail took on a brilliant glow. As the raticate sped past him, he took advantage and whipped around, slamming a powerful Iron Tail onto Rita's back. Not a crit, but devastatingly strong by nature. Those flames kept chasing Rita as well. Burning... Little by little...

"Yes," Astrid agreed, "only I do not think that is what she's afraid of." although it certainly added to her panic. The wisest action now would be to recall Rita, or heal her since she was clearly not doing well, unfortunately that was not an option. To heal her pokemon she would need to get close, usually her pokemon came to her but Rita was in no state to do that now, and recalling her would be impossible due to the fires. Light from the pokeball didn't pass well through the light which the flames were made off, she had seen both criminals and the police use that tactic in their heated battles. The old woman winced when Rita's panic took over too much and she missed her target, only to get thrown back straight into the ring of fire by the flareons slap with his tail.
"Pia! Please talk to her and see if you can get through to her, tell her she's not alone," Astrid said urgently to her toucannon. "But she is alone! She needs to pull herself together!" Pia answered frustrated. "Please, my voice is to low to get through all his noise." Pia looked annoyed and frowned as she looked at the flailing raticate and she huffed. "Rita! We're here, even though you are battling yourself. Just.. just hang in there, I know you can win," Pia called out hesitantly and shook her head a bit. This was hard. "We're here for you Rita! Just focus on the flareon!" Silvia joined in and Pia's eyes widened, that was it! "Rita! Listen to me! Focus on the flareon, get it down and you'll be free to get away! No one else will go for you, that's the only one keeping you there! We have your back!" She called her advices, that was much easier. "Bite it Rita! It's the only one standing between you and getting out! The fires will disappear too when its not there! Go get it!" Silvia called out excitedly and they held their breath as Rita got to her feet and lunged for the flareon once again. It was unclear if they had gotten through to her or not, only time would tell.

This time, it seemed like Rita heard the motivation of her teammates. Incendio was moving closer again, ready to act and react. He knew he wasn't faster than Rita, but he could retaliate once she came close enough to strike. "I see...I wonder who will emerge from this dance with fire victorious?" Miki asked aloud. "Your Rita or my Incendio?" Who would hit first? "Incendio, that last Iron Tail was beautiful! Do it again! Dance for us!" Cheered on by his trainer, the flareon's tail began to glow and he charged towards that ring of fire that surrounded Rita and licked at her dark fur. As he came closer, passing through that ring, Rita launched her whole body at her foe and chomped down HARD on his ruff of orange fur. Incendio cried out in alarm and tried to shake the raticate off, but to no avail. She tightened her grip until Incendio staggered and fell, the flames entrapping Rita dying down in an instant. Miki covered her mouth, "Oh my. It seems that your Rita has overcome her fears...ah, but it was a beautiful dance they danced together, was it not?" She stepped back and returned her partner.

Rita leaped at the flareon, there were no dance, no grace over her moment. It was clear to everyone who knew just the slightest about body language that she acted on pure desperation when she pulled out her last resources in her lunging attack, a shiver ran through her body when she felt her teeth make contact and got the soft fur in her mouth. She bit hard until she was sure that Incendio wasn't going to stop her and then let go, only to spin around and dash off the fire free stage and topple several tables and chairs until she dived under one of the tables which was covered with a tablecloth. After a bit a black nose with waving whiskers poked out again and sniffed nervously, they disappeared back in quickly when a shadow fell over the table.
Astrid gasped and turned to see where Rita ran, she tried but was way too slow to recall her clearly still scared pokemon. "I am so sorry, I thought we had worked through most of that," Astrid apologized and waited to make sure they weren't going to disqualify her for not controlling her pokemon better, even if Rita hadn't made any trouble. Rita seemed to have found some cover under a table, after her mad dash through the audience, and the challenge continued. "Rita darling? Are you alright?" Astrid called but got no response from the rat. "Can you go get her Pia? And make sure she is okay?" Astrid asked and the toucannon nodded, and stoically stepped down the steps and over to the table, where Rita disappeared into hiding again as she approached.
"You heard me," Pia said gently and shuffles were heard from below the table. "heard... heard you?" Rita asked with a quivering voice. "Yes, you heard our advices and followed them and got out," Pia said proudly and flung the tablecloth off with her beak. Rita froze. "Come on, join us and let's watch the rest of the battle together!" Rita blinked several times, "you are not angry?" Pia shook her head and turned to walk back, Rita hesitated and followed. "I.. I did hear something, so it was you," she mumbled to herself and Pia smiled.
Astrid looked thoughtfully at the two remaining sisters and gave up guessing what they had of eeveelutions. She didn't have many options left. "Your turn Janus, come and help me out old friend," Astrid decided and held the pokemon in a stretched arm as she let out the galvantula. The big yellow spider materialized on the stage and looked around curiously. "Will I ever get used to your new size my dear Janus?" Astrid chuckled and he looked back and grinned, would he ever himself? Astrid gave him the introduction to the challenge as she had given all the others, "we do not know who you will be facing, so some preparation will be a good idea. This will not be easy." "Harder than the big on in the tower?" He asked and the other pokemon on the team looked thoughtful at each other. Seemed like it was actually. "I will warn whoever is going to face me, covering your ears won't help," Janus readily told them, without a trace of being mockingly. Then he would let out a deafening screech.

There was a little chaos amongst the crowd as the raticate fled, but Astrid was not disqualified. There was a sympathetic look given by a few audience members...and a few others screamed, terrified of rats. But eventually, all calmed down as Pia checked on her teammate. Given that poor Rita was just hiding, spooked by something during the battle, there was empathy given for her situation. She'd be left alone. The next sister to step forward wore an electric yellow Kimono and wore a bright, excited smile. There was an almost tomboyishness to her expression that contrasted with her very formal attire. She moved swiftly and gracefully, clearly a practiced dancer and tossed a ball between them, revealing a jolteon to meet Janus in battle. "My name is Sayo! And this is my beloved Sparky. We will provide you a most glorious light show!" She laughed a little as Sparky zipped forward and sent a dazzling beam towards Janus that scattered in all directions on impact, making the audience ooooh and awe at the sight. He did shake his head, however, at the screech that left his ears ringing. Trainer Battle Weather: Inside [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Sparky LV 32 HP 100% [93/93]

Janus looked curiously at the speedy jolteon who took the stage after he had given them his warning, he assumed it meant that this one was fine with it. It had been warned at least and he took a deep breath to do as he had warned but a brilliant slammed into his side completely unexpected and he staggered back. "You are fast," he commented and then let out his deafening screech, no matter how fast it ran it would be able to outrun that. "It's not often I'm facing another electric type, but that will mean I probably can't use my electric attacks," he told the jolteon and watched it move for a bit, "I need to slow you down." With that he turned and crawled to the wall, which he began to scale.
"Oh my goodness, how pretty!" Astrid praised as the beam which the jolteon sent out and which shattered prettily against Janus. She shielded her eyes but still had dots dancing afterwards, she narrowed her eyes as she tried to see what her galvantula was doing but he seemed rather calm and unfaced. She trusted he would come to her if he needed her help. "Are you using Sparky in your dances?" Astrid asked politely.
"What are you doing?" Silvia called after the galvantula who has now almost reached the ceiling. "I'm going to attack from above," he explained calmly and Pia frowned annoyed, "maybe you shouldn't say that out loud," she told him. "You asked," he answered calmly and shot them a glance, "please step back a bit and take Astrid with you," he said and the old lady looked thoroughly confused when Pia put a wing around her and gently guided her a bit further back from the center of the stage. When Janus was pleased with the distance he sent several crackling electric webs flying down at the floor, doing his best to cover most of it in it. While it hardly would hurt a pokemon like jolteon, it hopefully would slow him down enough for him to get a hold on him. When it was done it was just a waiting game, almost, since Sparky did have attacks which could reach him up here. When Janus saw his chance he would drop and try catch Sparky below him to bite him.
(ooc: Janus uses Bug Bite x2, electroweb on the floor is just fluff. Just a warning that Jolteon has switched moveset, but has Signal Beam since it has been used. Also don't forget Janus' held item)

Sayo couldn't help but admire Astrid's enthusiasm, even in the face of the electrifying and tense performance. The kaleidoscope of light that Sparky had unleashed filled the stage with an otherworldly radiance, leaving those watching spellbound. Astrid's curiosity was a lifeline in the midst of the electrifying spectacle, a bridge between performers. Sayo's smile grew warmer, and she replied with an energy that matched her attire. " Oh, absolutely! Sparky and I have been dancing partners for as long as I can remember. He's the electricity that runs through our performances. Together, we create a symphony of light and movement." The show continued and Sayo's delight gave way to keen anticipation as Janus scaled the wall. She couldn't help but admire his resourcefulness, but Sparky was determined to keep the rhythm of their dance in his favor. The electrifying webs Janus cast upon the floor sparked and crackled, an intricate pattern of shimmering traps. Sayo watched in fascination as the stage became a battlefield of sparks and threads. Janus, hanging from the ceiling like a shadowy puppeteer, bided his time. Sayo's heart raced in tandem with Sparky's. The Jolteon darted across the stage with breathtaking speed, his fur crackling with pent-up energy, an electric arrow ready to be released. With a bolt of lightning, Sparky shot toward the Galvantula, his dazzling yellow fur a blur. But Janus was not to be underestimated. In a split-second maneuver that was as graceful as it was deadly, he unleashed a Bug Bite from above. The attack struck like a venomous spider, catching Sparky mid-flight. Their energies clashed in a spectacular display of sparks and movement and in that electric moment, Sparky's strength began to wane. Sayo's voice trembled with emotion as she watched her partner falter. "Sparky, hold on!" But the Jolteon's strength dwindled and with a final, resounding crackle, he succumbed to the Galvantula's bite. Sparky slumped to the ground, defeated. Sayo's eyes glistened with pride, even in the face of defeat. She approached Astrid with a smile, her voice filled with admiration. "You and Janus make an incredible team. Congratulations on your victory, Astrid. It was an honor to dance with you in this electrifying battle."
As the spotlight dimmed on the stage, Sayo and Sparky left, heads held high, their spirits undiminished by their loss. Battle summary:
SP98 Sparky used Signal Beam -30 dmg SP93 Janus used Bug Bite -73 dmg (recovered 10 hp)

What else should Astrid do? She was not the one who had to concentrate in the battle, she wasn't guiding her pokemon as long as it wasn't needed. Giving support yes, but otherwise she was just watching and she had to admit she really enjoyed the show. When Janus joined in and added his, to her, unknown flair they took it to new heights. "Oh my goodness Janus! Where do you get it from?" Astrid exclaimed and laughed as she saw how Sparky nonchalantly used the extra spark and shiny to show even more off, while Janus was more a backstage participant and added to Sparky's dance. Moves were exchanged and Janus dropped predatory like from above and finished it too soon. "That was amazing Janus! Where did you learn that?" Astrid praised her galvantula as he joined her again. As Sparky hadn't been talkative at all, he didn't say any goodbyes, expecting them to go unanswered. "I saw it in our TV, don't you remember?" Janus answered his trainer as he joined the others. Pia looked at him with new respect and Silvia looked to be deep in thought as she wondered if she could do something similar. "You.. you learned it by watching tv?" She asked puzzled, she had heard about it but hadn't seen one herself. "Thank you, it was a spectacular display!" Astrid beamed and glanced at the crowd, hoping they were as awed as she was. "We might have yes, he is the one I have had the longest, he has lived in my house as a little joltik for years before we started on the journey," she told the performers, "I did not know he was capable of that, they keep to amaze us."
Soon they were back to waiting for Astrid to pick her next pokemon, the last one. With Jolteon and Flareon out of the way, it wasn't at obvious choice and she felt silent as she thought. A moment later Ella appeared right in front of her, not quite far out to be clear she was the chosen one. Ella looked around curiously, freezing momentarily when she saw the crowd and then back at Astrid. The older frogadier noticed the very battered up team members who was chatting with Janus about his battle and her eyes widened in shock, her eyes darted back to Astrid to stare horrified at her.
The old woman smiled gently, "It is alright Ella, just watch." Reassured Ella rushed to join the others behind her old trainer and asked them what was going on. Astrid sighed, Ella would have been the better of her two options left to make it a show, but she wasn't going to force her not as young companion into something they didn't want. A gogoat appeared in a flash of light shortly after, right beside the old woman who grabbed a horn immediately. Yakul's wary look eased when she felt it was all alright and she snorted and stomped her foot impatiently. "I will warn you, she can be rough," Astrid called to the Sisters and let Yakul lose. The gogoat snorted loudly and pranced into the center of the light, short tail sticking right up and all leaves fluffed out like fur or feathers. She would stomp the ground some more when her opponent entered the stage, a faint green light would come from the bottom of her leaves around her neck, and soon seeds would fly through the air. Neither flashy or spectacular, just straight up shooting them out as simple as it could be done.
(ooc: Yakul uses Seed Bomb *2, remember her hold item ^^ )

Naoko was next. The final sister stepped forth in her light violet kimono. She held herself with more reservation than her last sister, her expression composed, her posture poised. She held her head high, her chin tilted up and her eyes lowered. Her steps were short and her movements graceful. The picture of elegance. And she knew she was the final act. "I am Naoko," she said in a soft voice. "Though we are the last, we are far from least. Sakura, marvel your foe with your charms!" She threw the ball and an espeon leapt out. Sleek and swift, normally he would easily out speed the gogoat that make a fuss upon the stage. But today, his foe as enhanced by a little consumable feather, which meant his usual entrance was a bit...of kilter. He tried to navigate around the exploding seed pods to cast his charm towards the audience to dazzle them, but one slammed into him before he could do so. Well then. He huffed and shook himself off. The least this brute could do was appreciate Sakura's beauty and elegance! Perhaps the gogoat did. The next seed bomb glanced off a little less harshly. Though it was obvious that he was perhaps a little outmatched against the goat's powerful physical onslaught. "Sakura, why don't we see if our foe can handle the stage lights?" The espeon keened as he sent a glittering flash of light right into his opponent's eyes. If they were lucky, it would disorient and confuse.

"It is an honor to battle you," Astrid greeted and thought to herself that Yakul wouldn't think twice about any grace her opponent would show. The gogoat probably didn't even know that it was a thing. "What a beautiful pokemon!" She praised to make up her own pokemon's lack of such appreciation. "How have you gotten his coat to shine so brightly? And for him to move with such grace?"
Yakul's seeds hit their mark, which clearly didn't fit Sakura very well. The retaliation didn't fancy Yakul either, she snorted surprised and backed while shaking her head to rid herself of the light which was now dancing for her eyes. She narrowed her eyes as she tried to find her opponent, but it was hard. Now his glistering coat really helped him out as she had a hard time making him out behind the dancing spots she had for her eyes. She laid down her ears and glared. Then she bleated loudly and reared.
"What?" Astrid gasped and her eyes widened when she realized was Yakul was about to do, "NO! Yakul! Stop! Nonononono!" She shouted but it wasn't enough to stop the gogoat. Yakul slammed her front hooves hard into the flooring, which cracked and a fissure ruptured through the floor towards Sakura, before it was half way, Yakul had already reared again to stomp down to send another crack through the floor in another direction.

"Our pokemon have the finest care and grooming." Naoko explained. "So that they are always ready for a show. It would displease our guests if our eeveelutions were anything less than flawless in figure and form. But, a little oil and a soft bristle brush do work wonders to help buff their coats into a glossy sheen under the stage lights." Clearly she was quite happy to gush a bit about the more feminine aspects of their battling performance. Where some of the sisters came across as more tomboyish in nature beneath their makeup, Naoko was quite girlish in her interests, and her eyes gleamed with the same intelligence as her espeon. "Sakura, once more! Use psybeam to disorient your foe!" But alas, it wasn't meant to be. There were startled shrieks from the audience as well as a couple of the sisters as the stage itself started to split and crack and splinter. Naoko shuffled back as a board buckled under her feet and nearly toppled her. Sakura tried to avoid the worst of it, but there was no avoiding the ram's powerful, impulsive attack. Before he could fill the stage with beautiful lights again, he was sent sprawling to Naoko's feet amongst the debris. She blinked widely and covered her mouth with one hand. "Oh my...How impressive...My poor Sakura..." The theatre was silent for a heartbeat...before a single man stood and started to clap. Others joined him slowly. And before long, the room was abuzz with thunderous applause and cheers. "Amazing! Astounding! My it has been a long time since a battle has gotten my heart racing like that! Beautiful! Wonderful!" the director cheered as he came onstage to shake her hand. "Here. For you. A fine thank you for a glorious showing! Even if we will have to shut down for a short time to repair the damages..." He cleared his throat and opened the suitcase, revealing money and discs. "For your performance, I would like to gift you the TM for Sword's Dance, for your show today was surely a deadly dance indeed. Powerful! Your pokemon could surely take advantage of such a move. And of course, the HM for surf. If you have the right badge, it will allow you to traverse any body of water."
