Welcome to Gaia! ::

Slifer smiled as his Butterfree hovered, he was thinking the same thing. After watching the earth intently, and not seeing any movement he sighed, this was not what he had expected. Whatever the situation, he could tell roughly where Onix lay, not enough to pinpoint, but to know his postierier was facing the hole he made, usually he would have sent Butterfree down there, but that tail could be dangerous it whipped at his pokemon's wings. He looked at the ground, and began forming an idea.

"Butterfree, spray the arena floor with as much silk as you can!" he said, watching as Butterfree swooped lower, although still not as low as Onix could reach, and sprayed the arena floor in as much silk as possible, before landing on top of Slifers cage, ever vigilent of the ground. Slifer's plan was simple, the silk would act as both a small net and a notification. The net would move seconds before Onix re-emerged. This meant his Butterfree would have a chance to fly higher. Also, the net would be sticky, hopefully adding to the irritation of the Onix enough for it to let its guard down

[::]Slifer, there are no pipes in a rock gym. I put a description in the first post and no where does it say pipes... why would there be pipes in the gym? All there is as far as pipes/wires/etc. are electrical wires that run through the stone formations leading up to the lights (there's even a picture reference) towering over the gym. They still aren't visable. Why random water pipes would be in a battledome makes little to no sense. Please change your post.[::]

Lena pushed the giant doors of the Pewter City Gym inward, gaping at the large stadium that greeted her eyes. How in the world did these city people fight in such a large place?

"I don' see no-one..." The baffled trainer murmured, blinking. Tonee rolled his eyes, grabbed one of Lena's hands, then dragged her forcefully towards the arena. He couldn't wait to battle, it seemed. Lena tugged her hands from Tonee's, narrowing her eyes at the cheeky little Squirtle.

"We ain'.... Oohhhhhh!" Lena took a deep breath, eyes widening as she spotted the battling trainers. "Ne'er mind! They look busy!"

Tonee scowled, grabbing at Lena's hands once more, but Lena held them high enough so that he couldn't reach.

"Tortle!" He exclaimed angrily, crossing his arms. Lena grinned at him.

"Fine, we'll wait..."

Tonee pumped his fist into the air, his angry air vanishing.

Sao entered through the doors to the massive rock battle dome. The gym was huge and the floor covered in sand that shifted beneath Sao's boots. She looked around the gym for someone.
"Hello? Is anyone here?"

Sao smiled to herself, pretty girl?
"I wouldn't want you to anyways. One pokemon each, right?" Sao grabbed the blue and white pokeball from her belt and thought. She knew he was going to use Onix, that was for sure, but did she really want to use this gyarados that she just caught?
You bet she did!
"Ok, please do good Nekketsu..." She whispered to the ball before she threw it out into the ring. The ball opened up with a flash of white light that formed into the giant shape of her red Gyarados, who let out a roar as it was released.

"Nekketsu, hit those rocks back at it with your tail!"
The gyarados obeyed and hit a nice amount of the rocks back, but a few of them hit. Though they didn't do much against the water pokemon's thick hide.
Sao would let Nekketsu battle on its own for a bit, and see if it did as well as Eki did.
The gyarados waited for another command and when none came took the innitiative to charge at the onix with a tackle.

Nekketsu curled up and hid its head under its tail as it was barraged with large rocks and 'trapped' under them.
crud... how am I supposed to get Nekketsu out of that?
Sao didn't have to do anything, Nekketsu had it under control. Again the rocks hadn't done too much damage, though there were scuffs and scratches on the Gyarados' hide.
Nekketsu used thrash and burst out of the rock tomb and lunged at the onix again, this time aiming to use its bite attack.
