Metronome x3

3vs3 triples
Style: Set
DQ: Standard week
Damage Cap: 99%
Banned Moves: anything but metronome
Arena: Celestic Town

Celestic Town is a rather tiny place, but it's legend is well-known. There are some who say it's the town where Sinnoh came to be created, and the crater-like pit in the middle of town, centered by a shrine which was there before any human can remember, certainly doesn't hurt the legend. There's also a tiny cave, with strange carvings on the wall, but they don't seem to be of any interest to... anyone.

The battle takes place morning-time during the spring; lush grass and lovely bright ponds are spread about Celestic, enough for any pokemon to do whatever they might want.

Round Seven

Beyonce’s still around? How annoying. But Exposition can see that she really is on the brink of defeat, damaged and exhausted both, though Exposition, too, is finding that her legs are trembling just the slightest bit. Her stomach roils at the thought of succumbing to exhaustion, especially now, when she’s so close to victory, but it’s not really up to her. And she did good, didn’t she, fainting that togepi? Something burns and rises up her throat, and Exposition sprays Beyonce with a jet of clear liquid.

It barely hurts—or at least, the impact does, and if it were just water, Beyonce could scoff and laugh it off. But that’s not all. It burns and itches all over her stomach, and, disturbingly, she swears the webbing on her leg is disintegrating upon contact with the liquid. Still, it’s not enough. She’s still here, after all. She curls into a ball—rounder and more effectively than she ever could normally—and throws all her weight forward. The acid-weakened webbing reluctantly lets her go, and Beyonce is sent barrelling down the grass, barely in control, and she can only vaguely try to throw herself at Exposition.

She can’t see her target until she passes the sableye, and irritated, she uncurls. That took too much effort to have failed to do anything. And she won’t get a chance to do that again.

Exposition reaches out to the drowzee with her mind. Okay, so her attacks have been pretty useless so far, but at least she’ll make sure she won’t miss. She encases Beyonce in mental energy, and, dramatically raising both arms, lifts Beyonce into the air. Yes, she thinks, that’s right. Stay there.

From here, Beyonce can only think furiously. But that doesn’t matter. It’s not over. She’s lasted this long, no doubt by the mercy of the gods of chance, and all she needs to do is figure out how to get Exposition to use up that last bit of energy before Beyonce has to use hers. From here, even, if her attacks may fail her completely, but that will only benefit her. Yes. She won’t be compelled into expending too much effort on something she can’t even start. So all she has to do is stay here, waiting, while Exposition wastes the rest of her energy on something completely ineffectual. Perhaps an earthquake, or another fissure, would do nicely.

But Exposition won’t let that happen. She raises her arms out beside her, and her fingers grow long and spindly. Skin stretches between her fingers like great wings, though her ability to fly is unreliable, and she leaps at Beyonce and smacks the drowzee as hard as she can.

By now, fainting is almost a relief. Beyonce sags, hanging limply in the air, and Exposition practically collapses beneath her.

Pathos’s expression is one of boredom as he recalls his pokémon, and Exposition half-deliriously mutters something under her breath. Her wings vanish into mist, leaving nothing but an exhausted sableye staring at the sky. Windyragon mercifully recalls her.

Pathos doesn’t stay long, instead quickly collecting his prizes and flying off to cash them in as quickly as possible. The other two Asberians aren’t quite as hasty, particularly the referee, who gives the destruction one last admiring look-over before summoning its aerodactyl to carry it back to contact ASB Central.

Both payment and a quick overseas getaway are in order, and mechanical travel will be far more efficient than flying back on a pokémon. Fortunately, one of Negrek’s many smugglers has an aeroplane waiting, no doubt full of rarity one pokémon, and no one really expects any trouble as long as they can get to the plane in time. If not, well, the plane won’t wait long, but there are many others that will soon take flight.

The Elder, meanwhile, stares at her beloved town with a face drawn in shock and disbelief. Who were these people, to come in and relish the destruction of her town? This sleepy town never hurt anyone, its only point of interest being the myths and legends preserved in the rock walls of the caves and in the telling of the people, and this time, there was no new trainer to come to stop them. Trembling, she goes to see if the phone in the pokémon centre is still working. She has some calls to make.
