OOC: Bandana, check your PMs...*wink*

Dusty watched as Dialga tripped from the Kingdra's Twister, and then Gardevoir sent a Hypnosis attack at the monstrous green Pokemon.
It fell to its side, fast asleep. Ruki cursed and then leapt of the sleeping beast. He dug into his pocket and withdrew six PokeBalls.
"Elite Dusty! I challenge you to a Pokemon Battle!"
"Humph. If my assumption is correct, your Pokemon have PokeRus."
"Yes, you are correct."
"Then I refuse to battle unless I have six perfectly healthy Pokemon."
"You already have four substantial Pokemon, I suppose you'll have to harvest the next two from fainted Revolution grunts?"
"I'll do what I can," said Dusty, trudging toward a grunt who was lying on his back with his eyes closed. He was probably knocked out by some flying rubble. Grinning, he found two PokeBalls clipped to his belt. He retrieved them and released the Pokemon. Surprisingly, they weren't Shinies. Probably a really demoted grunt.
Magmortar and Garchomp stood before him.
"Good."
He withdrew them, as well as Torterra and Metagross and Electivire. He asked Lucario to come stand beside him.
"What sort of battle do you wish?" asked Dusty.
"How about two-on-two?"
"Fine. Go, Electivire and Torterra!"
Electivire and Torterra braced themselves for battle.
"Go, Houndoom and Pidgeot!"
The menacing dog and a jittering bird stared back at Dusty's newly found Pokemon.
"Electivire! Use Quick Attack and then Thunderpunch on Pidgeot! Torterra! Protect yourself from attacks by using Frenzy Plant, and strike with Leaf Storm!"
"Pidgeot! Use Quick Attack to dodge!"
As Electivire's glowing and sparking fist reached the bird, it flew upward.
"Aerial Ace!"
And it soared downward with tremendous speed, clipping Electivire's back.
"Iron Tail, Electivire!" Electivire's tail glowed white and slammed into the bird behind him. Screeching, Pidgeot flew away.
"Houndoom, Flame Wheel!"
"Protect yourself with Frenzy Plant!"
Houndoom ran at a frightening speed with flames engulfing it toward Torterra. Suddenly, gray, spiked vines burst from the ground and Houndoom became entangled in them. However, he broke free with an extra flare of flames. But now he was unprotected as the Flame Wheel had died away.
"Leaf Storm!"
A barrage of sharp leaves blasted Houndoom away from the huge tortoise.
"Pidgeot! Aerial Ace again!"
Electivire was hit directly on the arm.
"Quick! Thunder!"
Pidgeot, who was still in contact with the arm, was suddenly shocked by a tremendous amount of electricity.
"Torterra, finish Pidgeot with Giga Drain!"
Several green energy blobs flowed from Pidgeot and were absorbed by Torterra. Pidgeot fell to the ground.
"Humph. Pathetic bird. Return, Pidgeot! And go, Abomasnow!"
From the red light of the PokeBall came a huge, living Christmas tree.
It took both Torterra AND Electivire to take out Pidgeot. And even then, it probably only worked because Electric moves are super-effective on Pidgeot. Dusty frowned.
"Houndoom, Flamethrower--and quick!!"
Torterra attempted to use another Frenzy Plant, but the stream of flames was to fast. The flames engulfed the tortoise and it reared back.
"Once more!!"
This time, though, the gray vines blocked the blow. But now Torterra had to recharge!
"Houndoom, Flame Wheel and Quick Attack!"
Now the Flame Wheel was three times as fast, and Torterra was knocked clean of his feet. Attempting to stand, Torterra couldn't go on.
"Take a nice long rest, Torterra."
