Copperfield and Dion will be part taking in the first round of the tournament.

You are both standing in a massive stadium under a stary night sky. There about 30 meters between you both. Behind each of you is a table with 6 pokeballs containing your pokemon. You must chose 3 before the match can begin.

Aloysius Copperfield, a dashing Unovan man who somehow manages to look old and young at the same time with his quaint, subtly patterned coat and hat pin decorated hat. Kinda detective-like in his outfit. His demeanour is curious, cautious and a little anxious, masked with a concealing partial calmness.

He had made his way into the stadium during the set up, taking an inspecting glance at his surroundings... Seems to be a regular massive stadium under a starry night sky. He takes two mental notes from this: 1) It's an open ceiling stadium since the sky is visible and 2) it's dark, so things are a little harder to see.

The table of his team rises up behind him via hidden machinery and he promptly turns around, almost startled by it before humming in thought...

"Hmm... My first opponent is Dion and his team consists of; Gengar, Feraligatr, Glalie, Alakazam, Ninetales and Gardevoir..."

He considers who he finds threatening and who he doesn't find threatening...

He picks up his Swoobat's pokeball first and attaches it to his belt.

Next up, he does the same with his Jolteon's pokeball. After a long pause, he picks up his smeargle's pokeball. The table slides back into the ground with a mechanical plate closing behind it.

From there, Aloysius makes his way to the opposite side of the field and takes position at his corner of the arena.

Dions, despite appearing to be an guy in his 20's, dions is a teenager which is 17 years old, with a very calm facial expression, he appears to be very quiet and shy, he looks around and make his way to the battlefield .

Before chosen his 3 pokemon, dions takes a pause and thinks about his opponent and his team, the feeling of anxiety starts to grow up in dions body, despite trusting in his pokemon and their capabilities, dions gets a bit nervous when he starts to think if can win or not, but then he says that is not time to think about these things, gets more confident, takes a deep breath and choose his pokemon Feraligatr, Ninetales and Gengar

With his complete black hair, red eyes and complete black suit, he looks like be vanishing in the dark of the night He proceeds to walk to his position in the stadium and gets ready to battle

 

[SauceSorcery]

From hidden speakers, an feminine announcer calls. "Take your position!" she has an idealised voice so to speak, pretty much matching the voice of any AI with a female identity in any generic fantasy/sci-fi film, only with extra enthusiasm. "Begin!"

Aloysius squints at his opponent, it's hard to see him in the darkness, only really contrasting against the stadium's boundaries... At least he isn't wearing dark blue, that would blend into the night light even better!

Once the voice hits his ears, his body moves on its own and immediately throws out his lead. "Go, Leah!"

Holding up his pokeball, it bursts open, with light erupting from its exposed bottom half interior, straight up into the air. The light extends, accumulates in the air and eventually materialises into a swoobat... So that's the name of his Swoobat!.. Leah!

A bat like her has amazing night vision, couldn't ask for more while having relatively dark colours to blend into the night, making it hard to read her personality since it's difficult to see her in general, but if it could be seen, it's apparent that she is very bubbly with a soft, intently stare, like a goofy farm girl crossed with a straight-A high school girl. She is eager to help, but can put this part of her aside for the battle!

It's hammered into her psych, her fighting style. She naturally flies straight up and gets ready to create a lot of distance between her and her upcoming opponent, all while keeping her eyes on Dion.

Aloysius lets out a fond sigh and folds his arms, standing there. Leah, always a joy and a comfort, a comrade and a friend.

After his opponent pokemon appears, Dions sees a swoobat and starts to be excited

Dions puts his right hand in his waist, picking the first pokeball, dions gives a little smile and throws the pokeball to the air

The pokeball opens and makes a very bright light, illuminating a little portion of the field, showning both trainers for a moment

Dions looks at his opponent before the light fade and a big alligator like creature appears in front of dions, slamming the ground

At the moment this creature touches the ground, a lot of dust begins to rise, but is quickly dispersed by the shockwaves from a very loud roar

Afer the dust vanishing, is revealed that this creature is a feraligatr, which appears to be very happy and excited from being participating on a tournament

Dions look again to his opponent and wait for his next action

 

[SauceSorcery]

Aloysius Copperfield clasps his hands together at the sight. He can tell it's Feraligatr just from the shape of the flowing light erupting from the pokeball, a good deal before it finally lets out that impressive roar... His initial reaction? That of near complete calmness, he doesn't appear to be afraid of Feraligatr or its potential moves, though he does not let his guard down.

Leah, the Swoobat, unstartled by the roar, knows she's fighting a grounded opponent immediately and contintues ascending while awaiting a command. A thousand meters in the air should be a decent distance for reacting to incoming attacks and staying out of reach of physical+contact moves... Most of her bubbly personality fades into a look of concentration and focus, albeit masked with a smile.

"Leah! Calm mind!" Aloysius orders simply with suppressed confidence, his distinct voice reaching far and wide.

With that, the Swoobat settles her mind, a faint magenta aura manifests around her forehead while she hovers in place. A ring of energy closes in on her forehead and should it close in completely, she'll gain a a signficant boost to her special attack and special defence, two stages each, because she has simple... Every bit of tension will be gone from her body.

 

[DomsQuidaca]

So the battle starts and Dions quickly understands what the swoobat was doing, despite don't knowing exactly what to do in that situation, Dions keeps calm and smiles at his friend feraligatr and says wth his calm and low voice "dragon dance"

Feraligatr do some weird movement with both his tail and feet, which is very funny at the beginning, but the movements becomes more and more faster

The attack and speed of feraligatr increase by 1.5x each, but not just that, with the fast movements from feraligatr, dust rises more and more again, to the point that no one can't see nothing

And then feraligatr looks to where he thinks that swoobat can be and launches an ice beam, hoping that this move hits swoobat

 

[SauceSorcery]

Aloysius Copperfield smirks somewhat, but this isn't confidence, but rather admiration. Dragon dance is exactly what he would tell a Feraligatr to do... He places his hands in his pockets, he isn't going to stand here though and let the Feraligatr dance for any longer than a milisecond, or however long a fraction of a dragon dance is... He immediately commands Swoobat to do something rather disruptive!

With a boom in his voice, with the confidence of an ambitious business man, Aloysius commands "Psychic! Quickly, don't let him complete his dragon dance!"

As if the Swoobat has seen a dragon dance before, she was already going to use psychic before the command landed in her ears, for she started acting right when the Feraligatr begun moving... Her eyes faintly glow magenta, illuminating the soft details of her face, but just as she does that... A psychic force instantly materialises around the dancing Feraligatr... Should it connect, though psychic is not really something that can be dodged, only blocked at best, it will lift the Feraligatr up, twist him around 180 degrees and crush him with mountain crushing force, with that +2 special attack.

Should it connect, the Feraligatr will feel his joints popping and his muscles cramping.

He will not get to use ice beam in the first place and potentially not gain his boosts. Though, the attack boost wouldn't even matter, the Swoobat has unaware too! This tournament allows a pokemon to have all or any of its abilities as long as it isn't a banned ability.

Leah thinks to herself:'Your stat changes don't exist to me... Except for speed, but that doesn't help against psychic.

 

[DomsQuidaca]

Dions realizes whats happening with his pokemon and raplidy screams "Protect!" which feraligatr is able to do in time before swoobat complete the attack

Dions gets scared for a moment and his arms began to tremble, but even he don't know why. At the same time, Dions tries to sill calm and says "F-feraligatr, Roar!" Feraligatr gives a loud roar, but is not a simple roar and is diferrent from the first time, somehow swoobat gets scared with this to the point that she wants to go back to her pokeball Dions orders to feraligatr come back too and uses his next Pokemon, ninetales

 

[SauceSorcery]

Aloysius Copperfield knows that it's physically impossible to use two moves at the exact same time. Since the 'Gatr is protecting, he isn't dragon dancing, but at least he doesn't get hurt by the attack any more.

He folds his arms and nods his head in moderate respect, a firm gaze matches the respect that he conveys through his gesture, alongside his body language. "Good move... Leah, lets watch what he does next."

Upon seeing the next move, he chuckles. What's roar going to do? While still chuckling, he commands with an otherwise calm soothing voice. "Magic coat, Leah."

The Swoobat has no trouble with this. She remains at her one thousand meter above the stadium mark and promptly uses the move. A mystical energy coats her entire body, a multicoloured hazy and reflective aura... The roar status move bounces off of her and instead causes the Feraligatr to receive its effects instead.

Does Dion still send out Ninetales after seeing that his Feraligatr is getting roared out instead of returned?

"Now, follow it up with Imprison! While the pokemon is switching!"

There is a small delay, a delay that keeps pokemon from stringing moves together too closely, but it soon enough comes considering it's probably safe to do so... A strange seal bearing the appearance of a wax seal manifests around the Swoobat. Once it fades, she gains a passive power null against any moves she happens to know.

That's right, imprison is not an offensive status move. It's a buff, a self applied move!
