This was a battle of attrition. Nobody was winning this fight quickly, and for ledyba, it was a slow, creeping loss by the look of things. Paralyzed, sluggish and without good counter for the roselia that drained away its health, all it could do was weakly throw a few more stars as its health was sapped. More and more. Again and again. It trembled and struggled to keep off the ground. Already it had been knocked out of a tree and slighted and disgraced. Now it was just being humiliated. Couldn't they just hurry this up already? The ledyba shook its fist again, muttering some choice words at the roselia for taking its sweet time leeching its health. <W-when I get my hands on you...> it weakly threatened. However, it knew that it would be a losing struggle. With those swift stars basically bounding off the roselia, it doubted it could smack the plant hard enough to make a real difference. How depressing. ooc// Sorry Tiki, the rellor isn't in the quest party so it cannot collect steps towards evolution.

Another Mega Drain, another round. The Ledyba was extremely weakened as its stamina was drained further, along with the paralysis that was set in earlier. Even though it was using Swift to summon stars from its back, its feeble body was not a match against the grass type's draining assault. Alex won't be surprised if its mind and morale was drained as well.
"What? Speak louder!" the grass type taunted at the Ledyba, but also it was really hard to hear it buzzing and squealing.
Alex watched as the Roselia made her way toward the Ledyba again, after trying to dodge those pesky honing Swift attack. He knew that this was almost over, so then he shouted. "We're almost there, Roshineu! Use another Mega Drain!" He called out his next move, which had been the same for the previous moves. She hummed carefreely and stomped forward once again, aiming her arms as they glowed green to sap the remaining life out of the opponent. What was the Ledyba going to do? More starry swifts?

There were no glittering stars in retaliation for this next mega drain. The ledyba just thumped weakly on the grass, unable to get twitching wings to work, completely immobilized. It did manage to glare quite stubbornly at the roselia, hanging on by a literal THREAD. That had been quite a strong mega dragon, but it just was not quite enough to finish off this ledyba's HP. So while the roselia was feeling quite restored and healthy, the bug on the ground was very much the opposite. It grabbed weakly at blades of grass, twitchy and tense, unable to fully curl or unfurl its little fists. Strain was evident on its face. A stiff breeze could end this battle next turn and they both knew it. But still, the ledyba did not surrender. It tried fruitlessly to push back up, even if its whole body kept failing it as paralysis strengthened its wicked hold.

The Ledyba was struggling on its little white arms or feet, as it made a strained expression and cried loudly. The poor bug Pokemon was holding onto its last line of life and held onto a blade of grass. Alex knew that with one more Mega Drain, the Ledyba would be down and out. Alex observed a little smugly, and hollered out his next move. "Rohsineu, you know what to do! Use Mega Drain again!" This wasn't the first time the trainer was using his overly strong grass type to fight a weaker bug type Pokemon.
"Hmm," The grass type hummed to herself, and then spoke coldly. "Can't fight anymore? I'll get you this time."
The duo type casually walked on the soft soil and overgrown grass toward the bug type, pacing herself so casually like she had all the time in the world. She wasn't in a hurry, especially with the Pokemon being paralyzed and trembling from the side effect. The poor Ledyba was caught in a bad situation with an unfortunate inhaling of Stun Spore along with a cold-hearted opponent. If the Roselia got anymore colder, she would be part ice type.
"I had fun, but now you're boring me. Good bye." the grass type spoke when she got close, and began her flower-arm for another blast of Mega Drain.

The final blow did it. There was nothing the ledyba could do...except flee. <You...have won. You have proven yourself.> The ledyba mumbled out through the paralysis. Then, it grabbed something in the grass and stuffed it in its mouth. Suddenly, the ledyba was up and moving again and darted off ahead. As if guiding the trainer somewhere? A choice had to be made now, to stay and look for further clues for what was next, or follow after the ledyba and see where it ran off to. Especially since that ledyba was supposedly a hint or a guide or something about this trial. Stubborn thing moved pretty darn fast after it ate a healing berry or two... Though why it didn't do so during the battle might be a mystery.
Roselia gained +1 LV for that victory! Grew to LV 15

Alex watched as the Ledyba had declared defeat. Then, it grabbed something to eat in the grass and ate it. He was puzzled, but then realized maybe the Ledyba was part of the trial and they weren't allowed to heal themselves before the end of the battle was completed. The small bug type fluttered away, prompting Alex to chase it down. Although, before that, Alex had realized from this battle that his Rosealia might needed some help with a stronger moves. Before he dug into his bag for some disc of technical machine, the Roselia danced with a twister of glowing leaves, enjoying a new move that she had learned. Well, maybe he didn't need to teach his Roselia all the new moves yet. He grabbed some Hidden Power machine and taught his Pokemon some new moves, somehow. Obviously, he didn't slap the disc on her head. He had a device to play the clips or something.

The delayed pursuit would put the advantage well in Ledyba's court, as the bug was now well out of sight. Or it quickly became once it noticed the lad start paying attention to it again off in the distance. A fair ways northward where the trees thinned into a more rocky base of the New Bark area Alex would find himself at a crossroads with no ladybug to guide him further into the trial. Now what? A wind softly blew through the many pathways that could be taken, and upon each was an audible murmur of pokemon calls. Some were more subdued than others, but oddly enough each seemed to be quite unique. No doubt this was part of the challenge prepared for the trainer. Option 1 Right to his left was a narrow crevice. It looked to open up very quickly, teasing a lush patch of grasses before curving off out of sight. If near it, the distant calls of some pokemon could be heard. Option 2 Next to this was a more normal trail. It didn't look like it was travelled too frequently, as it's road was pebbled with loose gravel. Or maybe it was just those that followed it weren't inclined to do so on the ground, as approaching this jut in the landscape would be rewarded with a group of chatter. Option 3 Almost straight across from where Alex came in from was a wide birth of the northern route 46. It was a bit craggy, and the further in you went the higher the walls grew around it, but it seemed more lively than the rest. A dot of bush and tree could be seen, leaving for many opportunities to hide. Option 4 However, being a flyer there was an offshoot of the larger path that would definitely appeal to something wanting to get higher. It required a short spurt of easy climbing to get up to, but it looked like there was a wild pokemon trail lightly worn into an upper level pathway. It led into what could be a cave, or at least some archway between a large set of rocky masses. Option 5 Lastly Alex's party would take note of another beaten path off to their right. It was a bit more gloomy, sitting in the shadow of higher rocks looming up a slight incline. It didn't look the safest path, but it was highly frequented by the looks of the packed dirt leading through it. Maybe even a bit damper than the others. Though it was tricky to tell with the cooler air. Which path will Alex choose?

Alex wasn't sure if the paralysis took that long to pass through the Ledyba, or the bug was waiting for him. Either way, it was like as soon as he looked at the bug Pokemon's direction, the tiny red beetle flew away toward the next part of the trial. Running after it, the young trainer found himself at a crossroad that was more than a fork. He stopped and observed what each road looked like, but his ears were picking up the sound of multitudes of Pokemon's calling in the background.
He listened carefully, trying to discern the sounds coming from each route. He closed his eyes to try to concentrate on each of the sounds, but each Pokemon's cry were basically overlapping the other. After standing in the foliage's shade for possibly a good several minutes, he finally decided to go with the path with pebbles and loose gravel on the ground.

The loosely graveled pathway carried Alex on a long and winding pathway. Along his trek, he would see many of the common Pokemon that frequented the route. The peaked at him with wide, curious eyes, but seemed largely unbothered. Some would freeze up, a strange chill crawling up the base of their spine, then dip as fast as their little legs could carry them. Still, even as the path felt long, something would persuade Alex not to turn around. He would approach a large lake with a simple frangipani tree whose intricately designed five-petaled flowers bloomed all along its bushy limbs. Many of the other Ledyba buzzed about in the garden, all chirping cheerfully with one another. Some landed on the nearby trees and dug at the bark to get to the sweet nectar inside. Others landed on nearby flowers and smiled so wide it looked like their faces would split in half from the effort. They were all enjoying the tranquil day, frolicking freely with each other. When they noticed Alex, they lifted their heads and screamed in alarm. On a stump from a tree that was cut down long ago sat a small amulet with a strap around it, meant to make it easier to hang up somewhere or wear. A large ladybug with large blue eyes, two long, sleek, black antennas and a even slimmer build popped up, pointing one of its ‘gloved’ paws at Alex with determination burning in its eyes. “If you hope to prove that your bond with your Pokemon can withstand the test of time,” Ledian huffed with a smirk, “then I plan to make you work for it.” It retorted firmly. Totem Ledian Appears! Level 12. What will Alex and his team do?

Casually walking, Alex walked by many wild Pokémon going about their daily lives. While he was a visitor taking on a challenge, these Pokemon were just living another beautiful day! Once the Pokemon would notice him, they snapped out of their routine motions and fluttered or scuttled out of the way.
In front of him was a different red Pokemon, obviously an evolved form of the Ledyba he had just faced. This must be the final Pokemon. He tossed out a Poke ball and called out his grass type once again. “Roshineu, use Hidden Power!” The Roselia held her head high as she quickly noted the tiny Ledian. Heh, this should not be difficult and wouldn't take her that long! She smiled smugly as she approached the totem Pokemon.

<This battle seems...beneath you.> The ledian suggested wryly as it was faced down by the roselia. It looked a little too strong for this test of worth. This was supposed to be a challenge, not a show of force where a trainer brought in pokemon far too strong to learn the lesson the Totems sought to teach. <Perhaps you would rather take a rest, hm? Let another prove themselves worthy.> Alas, those words did not effect the roselia. While a little stronger than most who came to the face the totems, the grass-type was not convinced to laze about. Rather, the roselia summon fire. The ledian's wings buzzed anxiously. <How unexpected.> Stars were flung across the battlefield, meeting a wave of flames that tried to sear the totem's wings. Those stars couldn't dash the heat away and it was forced back. <It is rare to see a grass type wield flames...you have come prepared.

"Maybe," The Roselia smiled. "But I don't think my human brought any weaker Pokemon along. And I don't see the Sandshrew coming out until I am defeated." She extended her smile wider, if the Ledian could see that. With one conjuration, both of her rosy hands have little orbs of red glowing about it. Then, the grass type fired them at the opponent. Thankfully, this move cannot leave a burn.
The bug type returned with another flurry of stars, which the Roselia shrugged off as boring. "Stars again? I've already seen that trick with your friend. AND well, don't be surprised!" She laughed at the bug type's ignorance.
"Good job, Roshineu, use Hidden Power again!" Alex cheered and hollered, as he watched the two small Pokemon duked it out once again. The grass type bowed and smiled, maybe she'll giggle later after defeating the bug type. She inhaled casually and then prepared another attack.

Ledian landed on a nearby bush and stared at Roshineu curiously. The small flowering Pokemon insisted on staying in the fight even if it wouldn’t provide her with much to learn from. Ledian sighed, shaking her large red head with a single black spot in the center. Why were Pokemon so adamant from the start? “I am a Totem whose goal is to teach and guide. I test the bond that trainers set with their Pokemon. You are simply stronger than what is expect to take the test, so there is little you can learn from it.” Ledian again urged. Roshineu seemed to think about what the other Pokemon was saying to her. She might have even turned back to her trainer as if to make sure Alex was sure. Then she took her time with the next move, causing Ledian’s eyes to perk up for a moment. Was what she was telling the small Roselia finally sinking in? Roshineu began to glow with a strange light, which caused her size to swell considerably. Ledian shook her head with a slow groan. “I was trying to let you know to stand down so another might face me. Not to cause yourself to grow.” Ledian tried once more to insist. Roshineu would find her fighting spirit once more. Ledian sent a shower of stars spiraling through the air. Many of them managed to catch Roshineu along her chest and her sides, causing microscopic scars along her small plant-like body. Nothing that she couldn’t heal from good as new later, but definitely something that would sting in the moment. Roshineu retaliated, sending a wave of fire that collapsed on the Ledian and sent to flying off into the distance. “You have proven yourselves worthy! Take the small amulet as proof of your strength!” It called behind itself. Totem Encounter Weather: Clear [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Ledian LV 12 HP 0% [0/38]

The Ledian seemed defeated in its words, to which the Roselia simply scoffed. ”You don’t have any inspirational to say if the challenger had surpassed you? Maybe you should think of one next time, just in case it happens again.” She simply was having fun with this battle.
”Didn’t I just tell you that it’s not up to me who my human sends out to face you? Maybe you should try talking to my human directly about this. I had fun with you though.” She smiled wryly again as she grew herself larger in size to taunt the opponent.
When she was finally ready, she unleashed her Hidden Power and sent the opponent into surrendering the fight. ”Thank you and see ya!” The grass type said farewell cheekily as she turned back her attention to Alex who came to collect the Alolan amulet.
