Alex listened to the director's response as well as Bobby's. "Yes, I did wanted to see a Leafeon, I figured that's part of an Eevee's evolution." Although he did not tell him that he was disappointed at the lack of green kimono dress. He listened again when they mentioned of Z crystals and totem trials, which he had never heard of before. "No, I have not heard about those. So an Eeveeium Z would only work on Eevee?" He wondered if there were some for other specific Pokemon.
The Leafeon and its trainer wasn't holding anything back. The furry opponent's struck with an Aerial Ace, never stopped to yield the giant Venusaur. It wasn't like Saurobix was the speedy type of Pokemon who could dodge, but at least the amphibian had a tough skin to deal with the relentless Leafeon. Thankfully now, the trusty grass type starter was able to launch his sun once again into the sky. Consequentially, the next attack was the Venusaur's turn, his movement boosted by the blazing sun, inside the building. With a shot of Weather Ball, the Leafeon was gone.
He was going to swap his Pokemon until he heard that Glaceon was next. "A Glaceon! I've definitely forgot about that one. Saurobix, continue with another Weather Ball!" The grass type let out an understandably growl before summoning another weather-induced magic ball at the opponent.

Bobby nodded. Eeveeium Z only worked on eeveelutions. His mouth twitched as Alex expressed excitement upon seeing Glaceon. He knew that blizzard was inaccurate in the sun and setting up hail wouldn't work with how speedy this venusuar was. Their best bet was to endure and reflect that damage back at their foe! "Mirror coat!" he called out. Glacier let out a cry of agreement, ready to mirror that weather ball right back...but unfortunately, even as her fur shimmered with anticipation, the battle was already lost. That sun boosted weather ball combined with the venusaur's now superior speed in sun resulted in that weather ball knocking the glaceon out in a single hit. Bobby grunted in frustration but returned his pokemon, his shoulders dropping a bit. The director cheered and the mysterious observer clapped. She stood up from where she sat in the audience to approach Alex, her expression unreadable. As the sun faded and became less blinding, her ornate, pink kimono stood out even more. She looked almost like a fairy pokemon herself! "Greetings, challenger. I am called Valerie. I hail from Kalos and am here visiting the dear kimono sisters. I am also the holder of the prize of this challenge if you choose to accept it." She opened her palm to reveal the shimmering crystal. Then, with a flick of her wrist, she made it vanish. "Will you battle me?" She smiled and sent out her sylveon, Gloria. Veteran Bobby was defeated! Saurobix gained +2625 exp(35*50*1.4)

The Venusaur's sun and weather ball strategy had been working great for Alex so far, and he just needed a risky turn to launch the sun to set up an artificial stage for his weathering show. The trench-coat wearing trainer named Bobby with his Leafeon and Glaceon were down by his Venusaur's singlehandedly. Then, as the sun faded from the end of the battle, a different woman dressed in a dazzling pink and yellow kimono got up, introducing herself as Valerie from Kalos.
In front of him was an equally peculiar Pokemon, Sylveon. This was a possible evolution for the Eevee apparently, and the Pokemon have "ribbons" around it that were part of its body, like a strange version of tentacles on Pokemon like Octillery or Tentacruel. "Hmm, this Totem Trials thing and Z Crystal does sound interesting!" He added as he grabbed a Pokeball in preparation.
"Chryaisy, start off with a Sleep Powder!" He hollered out his next move. While he did have poison types Pokemon that he thought would be great against this fairy type Pokemon, he wanted to try something else different today.

"It intrigues you? Good to hear. But we will not part with this prize easily. Come, prove yourself! And myself and Gloria will create a dazzling show." Valerie lifted an elegant sleeve. "Gloria, set the stage with Misty Terrain!" Her sylveon leapt daintly forth, ribbons swaying around her form in a hypnotic manner. They were clearly alive and a part of the pokemon's body, as natural as wings upon a charizard. She moved with delicacy, much like the kimono sisters themselves, small paws making no sound as she entered the stage. She drew in a deep breath, about to cover the stage with glittering pink mist, but the grass type was faster. Blue spores filled the air and rain down in a glittering shower. As Gloria inhaled, she accidentally swallowed a lungful of the powder. The sylveon coughed and became woozy, staggering a step before seemingly fainting dead away into a shallow sleep, having done nothing of note. Valerie covered her own mouth to stop from breathing in the pollen, "Clever." "Totem" Battle Weather: Indoors [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Gloria LV 41 HP 100% [141/141]

Alex smiled in response to Valerie. "Good, let's see who's the most dazzling show of all!" He jested, even though he viewed only one of his grass type as the type of Pokemon who would do great performing in a show. The rest, he wasn't sure if they could put on a show on their own.
Gloria moved on the stage graciously and elegantly, as much as a vulpine or feline hybrid would. The pink Eevee evolution was ready to lay the stage in a layer of pink, but stopped by Chryaisy's sleep powder as the green powders put it to an early act of slumber.
With the opponent asleep, it was time for Alex to make the next move. "Chryaisy, use Leech Seed!" He shouted and watched as her Pokemon curtsied before attempting to wrap the opponent in a bundle of vines. She hummed and spun on the stage, and tiptoeing a few times, and when she's ready, she would plop some seeds into the sleeping Sylveon's direction.

Valerie knew that she was helpless until Gloria woke. She watched as her foe did a beautiful spin before throwing seeds all over her precious sylveon that would leech her strength bit-by-bit. "Your pokemon moves so elegantly. What an enchanting dance. I hope to show Gloria's own grace once she wakes from her beauty sleep." Valerie swayed a bit, eyes lidded as he moved. It seemed that even if her pokemon could not make a show, she naturally moved instead, folding and unfolding a fan and expertly hiding and revealing her face as the battle progressed. "Gloria, I need you to wake, my love. Wake and dazzle us!" she called out. But Gloria remained fast asleep, shifting just a little, showing that she was growing a little restless. The effects of sleep powder always resulted in a shallow slumber, but even a few seconds of unconsciousness could lose a battle.

Alex smiled as he seemed to enjoy where his cleverness of this battle was going. He could have send one of his poison type Pokemon against this fairy type opponent, but he had another idea and he enjoyed where this was going so far. "Thank you. This isn't her real dance yet, would you like to see?" He asked, but wasn't really asking for an answer. "Your Pokemon should wake up soon."
"Now, Chryaisy, use Quiver Dance!" He called out. The grass type politely bowed at the sleeping Sylveon before moving on her toes, swirling and twirling while leaving fading images of herself. This was like a dancing version of Double Team, where none of the after images stayed for longer than needed. Her head flower swaying as she moved, and she was dancing like a single performer wearing a large green ballroom dress.

It was indeed a beautiful but deadly dance that the liligant put on display. She seemed to glow as she was empowered by her dancing, lit from within as she became swifter and deadlier and more dangerous. "Gloria, wake, you must shield yourself before it is too late." And fortunately, the sylveon did rise, entangled in vines and shaky, but still filled with fight. She couldn't move nearly as swift as her foe, so she chose not to do so, instead, standing her ground and forming a beautiful, shimmering pink shield around herself that rippled in the light. It would help lessen any blows that would come. "Perhaps now we can properly set the stage for a dance of our own, love," Valerie said softly. A mist would have prevented that sleep status again, but powders were inaccurate and those quiver dances would make her foe very, very dangerous. She suspected that without a light screen, she wouldn't endure more than one or two hits from her opponent, especially in this weakened state. At least this way she could ensure at least one hit should her foe turn aggressive.

Alex had been playing this very defensively, as so far he hadn't order his Pokemon to use a direct attack other than Leech Seed slowly sapping the Sylveon's health. He has no idea what Valerie's fairy type Eevee evolution was capable of, but he would wanted to be prepare in case the opponent would finally strike hard. Now, he was indecisive to put the opponent to sleep again or finally go for an attack, or just use another Quiver Dance to prepare. "Sorry to steal your spotlight by putting your Sylveon to sleep," Alex apologized, although hurling status at your opponent would be fair game for a battle. "Keep it up with another Quiver Dance, Chryaisy!" Alex shouted at his Pokemon. The elegant grass type clasped her hands together to prepare another dance sequence, and moved her feet gracefully on the wooden stage floor. Alex probably could start switching to offensive soon, but he wanted to be extra sure in case his opponents have tricks up their sleeves. ooc: Just noticed my Lilligant's EXP looks weird (Experience: 4417/4219) so updated back to (1119/4219)and I can't find any posts stating she gained exp

"Never apologize for a strategy, especially one that is effective. Every Pokemon has their own unique techniques and talents, only a good trainer finds the ones that work the best and make them available to their Pokemon partners. You have raised your Liligant well, and your battling technique proves how her strategies work," Valerie answered, giving Alex a smile. Sylveon was starting to look tired and she knew that her Pokemon did not have much fight left. Gloria had taken a beating so far, especially due to the seeds draining her energy every turn. However, a fight must be fought through to the end and that is what she intended to do. "Dazzling Gleam, we must go on the offensive!" A pink orb formed in front of the Sylveon and after a few seconds of developing and acquiring energy, the orb was shattered and a bright light was released across the battle field, causing everyone to shield their eyes for a moment. When the light faded, Liligant remained where she was, barely hurt from the attack due to her buffed defenses. To add insult to injury, when the seeds leeched Gloria's energy, they restored most of the damage caused. Liligant performed one more dance across the field, the Sylveon breathing hard with her legs shaking beneath her. Valerie prepared herself for a vicious strike that would likely come next turn.

Alex smiled back at Valerie's encouragement or approval of his battle technique using his Lilligant. The opponent went for an offensive approach and retaliated with a Dazzling Gleam, but the damage was restored by the continually sapping Leech Seed. Alex finally spoke and gave his next order, as there's more than one way to recover the health lost from the Dazzling Gleam's power. "Well, since you don't mind my strategy. Here's another addition to my strategy, Chryaisy, use Giga Drain!"
Alex figured that the opponent don't have much stamina left from the Leech Seed, and the Quiver Dance his Lilligant did would reduce the impact of the brilliant fairy type attack. He smiled as his plan was working so far, and complimented the opponent back. "Your Sylveon have bright and shiny strategy. Light Screen and Dazzling Gleam. She must be putting on quite a show!" Although he wondered if it could be too bright to actually see the show for her audience.

"Even if you know you cannot win, there is no excuse not to battle with grace and beauty. For every battle is a show. So Gloria, do dazzle us before the curtain falls once more!" Valerie called out and she watched her dear Sylveon do her best. The lilligant, now moving so swiftly that it was impossible to quite track her movements, danced about the stage with glamor and grace, like she was born for this life. Her dance soon turned dangerous as she closed in on Gloria and her hands filled with energy that she drained harshly and quickly from the fading sylveon. Gloria swayed but held fast, thinking about the show. Her light screen was still up, still gleaming. She opened her mouth and another dazzling beam shot forth, the pink light scattering into a dizzying display, casting the whole room in a pink, glittering glow. Her attack even managed to hit the lilligant again, but alas, between the draining attack and the leeching seeds, the Sylveon found herself staggering. Out of breath. Her ribbons moved more sluggishly. "Totem" Battle Weather: Indoors [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Gloria LV 41 HP 12% [17/141]

Alex got the hint that even Valerie knew her Pokemon was on last legs. He watched as his Pokemon continued to move gracefully and rhythmically, whereas the Sylveon was sluggish and struggling. The battle was near the end with this stalling Lilligant. The trainer wasn't sure if he would try again another time, like in an actual gym battle, but he was glad to see that he was able to utilize his Lilligant's potential right now. He watched as the two traded another round of Giga Drain and Dazzling Gleam.
"Well, it looks like we're almost there. Chryaisy, go for another Giga Drain!" Alex cheered enthusiastically at his Pokemon, who was moving along the stage like a flower blowing in the wind. The pure grass type Pokemon hummed as she was preparing for another Giga Drain, this time likely would end Gloria's stage performance.

The battle continued on, with both Pokemon doing their best to end things as gracefully as possible. Chryaisy's elegant swaying and twirling indeed let her look like a leaf being blown on the wind, while Gloria swayed and swaggered around the stage. Her moves were sluggish, but the Sylveon was still putting its all into the performance. Even as Chryaisy made contact with it, draining the life energy from its body. Gloria could only give a last look and nod of respect to the towering flower, seemingly accepting that all it could do now was to accept its defeat with some modicum of grace and dignity. Valerie closed her eyes, silently mourning her loss as she recalled Gloria the Sylveon into her Poke Ball, stowing the ball within the sleeves of her furisode. She offered a bow to Alex, an acknowledgement of his victory. "And the curtain falls on another graceful battle. Your Lilligant handled herself beautifully, challenger. And now I have something special, to commemorate your victory today!" Valerie declared, reaching into the sash of her outfit before revealing a small ornate pink box. She opened the box, and within on a purple cushion say two items: one a pink disk, the other a small brown crystal with a strange symbol shining within it. "The Eevium Z, and the TM I give out in my Gym in the Kalos Region," Valerie explained, offering both of the items to Alex. "This was more of an exhibition than a proper match, and my Gym Badge is relatively worthless in this League anyway, so these will have to suffice. Though I don't know how well the Z-Crystal will work without one of those pretty bracelets or rings from the Alola Region," she drifted off, giving a sickeningly sweet smile to Alex as he received his rewards and began going on his way. If Alex was so interested, Valerie would gladly tell him of the rumors she had heard of some Alolan transplants that were offering a chance at acquiring such an item in exchange for completing another challenge. Regardless, Alex was now free to return to wherever his travels took him. ![](https://johtophoto.com/sprites/trainers/valerie.png) Alex has beaten Gym Leader Valerie!

Alex watched quietly as his Lilligant ended the dance show against the Sylveon. The opponent was down now after series of draining attacks from the blooming grass type. The trainer thanked his Pokemon and returned Chryaisy in a beam of red light. He listened to Valerie before replying, "Thank you, Valerie from Kalos. Your Pokemon was pretty and elegant as well!" Gloria was such a cute sleeper too.
He received the prizes, and then briefly examined the Eevium Z as she spoke. This crystal looked just like a regular gem or shiny rock, but yet it could power the Pokemon Eevee if he had one. "Hmm... You need a bracelet or ring too? I guess I will have to look for one!" He then inquired from Valerie about such accessories, and learned of two elder couples in New Bark Town who would let a trainer obtain one by completing a trial. He noted it down in his head for the future adventure, as he had other things to do first already on his mind.
