It'd been a long time since Neo last entered the battle arena. The screaming fans in the audience seemed unreal. She supposed they were. Just dreams, illusions, figments of imagination--of a region that wasn't plagued by the scourge. (Every child in Kohaku dreamed of becoming a world famous trainer battling in an arena such as this. A pity it only exists in dreams now.)


"Hey," Neo called out across the stadium to a familiar face. The crowd roared. "For the fans, I guess?"

She stretched in her dream, feeling the soreness in her body even as she slept. She needed to take better care of herself in reality.

"Doubles. Six pokemon each."

(i figure doubles would go faster, but triples would get too confusing to be worth it)

"been a while." delilah smiled at Neo -- a genuine smile, instead of the ever-present smirk -- and cracked her neck.

"can't leave them waiting too long, can we?"

she rolled her shoulders, pulling out two pokeballs. "let's do this."

It's a familiar enough start. SHe's done this before, and she'll do this again.

it's a familiar pattern. (too familiar.) so she says 'fuck that' and tosses an awakening.

So bulbapedia said no status moves, and I figured that meant like thunderwave, but now I looked it up, and rain dance is totally a status move.

Er. I was tired. That's my story.

Anyway, gyarados doesn't look good. lucario is down. A new challenger enters the arena.

Yeah, it's okay. Neo's been too busy having relationship issues and letting all the hades agents talk to her about their troubles anyway. #neolyfe

Also, I think this was pre-regimen hydreigon with the quadruple fairy weakness.

hydreigon goes down.
