Being bonded from the hair, Leon grimaces as Seismitoad gets the ~~bitch~~ slaps from Grimmsnarl. This move would heavily damage Seismitoad considering it has 4x weakness to grass. But as a way to back up his Pokémon, Leon have given Seismitoad a Rindo berry before any battle. Maybe he should have let his Pokémon stay back, after all. It seems as if Seismitoad can't escape from the tendril-like hair at this rate, and the berry's effect won't be long. The water/ground 'mon tries to keep its face away from Grimmsnarl so that the Pokémon is mostly hitting its chest and shoulders. Although, even if Seismitoad is wrapped, it still has *Its mouth*. This close distance isn't a problem for the Pokémon too. Angrily, Seismitoad opens its mouth and vomits a purple liquid while trying to aim for Grimmsnarl's face. "That's right, Seismitoad. Use Venoshock!"
Ruth
*Grimmsnarl instinctively jumps back from the Poison-type move, releasing Seismitoad in the process. As it warily stares at the Water type that has a bit too much coverage to its liking, it can tell that the Toxic is really starting to take effect now. Best to nip it in the bud, really. Quickly reaching over to its own chest, it searches in the tangle that is its hair and eventually pulls out a lime green shape recognized to most as a Lum Berry. Putting it in its mouth, it closes its eyes and all the damage it's sustained so far vanishes in an instant, as it begins to sag; however, it begins to munch on the berry, and in just a little bit more time, is fully back on its feet, poison cured, ready to go. Watching Seismitoad, it realizes that it's best bet is to dodge the surely-incoming Toxics, then when it gets in close, go for the Power Whip.*
Billy
She turned to Al, "So, what does your team look like?" She tried to strike up a conversation, she thought it was rude to just be completely focused on Leon, although she did take glances at him every once in awhile.
Richard
Alphonse's attention goes from to the intense battle, his deep blue eyes analizing the battle looking at any weaknesses he can find in both trainer and pokemon. It took a while for his attention to shif to Monika and when he looks at her a smile. "Oh it's nothing that impressive" Al says humbly waving it off.
Billy
She frowned "Aww... I wanna know!" She was acting kind of... Childish, but also kind of adorable. "I mean... There's alot of things about you that's impressive.." She mostly mumbled this, she couldn't really figure out if it was a compliment or a flirt.
Richard
"It's really not that big of a deal" Al chuckkles as he smiles at her finding her actions rather cute. Al smiles at her second comment and he looks at her teasingly. "Oh? What else do you find impressive about me?" He asks his tone very much flirty
Billy
She coughed, apparently she starts to cough when she's nervous (no it's the coronavirus-) "Y-You... Have... Nice... Hair?" She said, just trying to be friendly and not flirty, she did think that his physique was kind of attractive, but thought that saying it out loud would be a flirt.
Richard
Al takes this and chuckles. "Aw thanks You know I don't mean to brag but I've been told I have very thick hair by ever single barber I've ever had" Al smiles cheekily at this.
Billy
She smiled adorably once again. "I can see that! My hair is just kind of... Eh." She scratched the back of her head.
Richard
"I like your hair it's nice chestnut color, which is the best nut by the way" He gives her a goofy smile.
Billy
She giggled, and snorted like a pig a little bit. She covered her mouth, she doesn't do that often. She blushed in embarrassment.
Richard
Al couldn't help but smile more at this. "That's a cute laugh" He was honest about that comment he did find the laugh cute.
Billy
"I think it's kind of silly." Her face turned back to her normal shade. She patted Mimikyu on the head, who wasn't getting a whole lot of attention.
Richard
"Really? Cause I think it's quite the opposite" He reaches over to Mimikyu putting his hand out wait for Mimikyu to react and come to him rather than give an unwanted attention.
Clarice
Mimikyu didn't really like this guy, so he hissed at him, he stayed by Monika. Feeling more content at her side.
Nicholas
Leon commands Seismitoad to Dive away like once before. No way he'll let his Pokémon get trapped by that hair again. One more good series of slaps from the Power Whip would defeat Seismitoad for sure this time. So yes, maybe it's time to stall like before with Toxic. After distancing itself, while using the rainwater to heighten its speed and obscurity, Seismitoad spits up another poisonous gunk toward Grimmsnarl.
Richard
Al gives a nod understanding as he gave Mimikyu a smile returning his hand back he reaches into his bag and holds out a puffin to it a peace offering.
Clarice
"Oh no, my greatest weakness.." Pause for dramatic effect. **"FOOD!"** He jumped on Al and playfully attacked him, trying to take the food out of his hands.
Richard
Al was suprised but quickly adjusted giving the Mimikyu the puffin while laughing.
Billy
She laughed, but then she remembered the roses that she was going to give Leon. "Ah, fuck, I forgot to give Leon the roses!" She facepalmed.
Richard
The roses were at her side Al having set them down earlier. Al would reach out his hand still having him come to him.

"Hmm I love your eyes... I can stare into them all day" He gives her a soft genuine smile looking straight into her eyes.
Billy
She blushed, but she shook it off. "I like your eyes too!" She said in a cheerful tone. "They remind me of Alola's Ocean!"
Paulette
*Crystal left, feeling awkward being in the middle of a love moment*
Ruth
*Grimmsnarl sees this one coming, and dodges it. Using the distance, it re-sets the screens for its team just as they begin to reach their end, then begins to charge at Seismitoad, though this time, with a bit more of a plan for if it tries to Dive away.*
Nicholas
The Grimmsnarl being agressive makes Seismitoad go for a Sludge Bomb this time. With Light Screen back up, it won't cause so much damage, but there's the possibility that if it hits, Grimmsnarl would be poisoned at the same time. It would shoot and swim around in the little waters, planning for hit and runs. The rain is about to let up, however, making Seismitoad back to its regular speed.
Ruth
*As Grimmsnarl gets close it sees the Sludge Bomb coming and lashes out, its hair unfurling from around its arm and rushing forward to block the attack from its main body. The hair itself sizzles a bit, some becoming frayed, but at least it managed to prevent some of the major damage. Eden looked up and noticed the rain, realizing it wouldn't be very long now before it was gone; plus, he doubted Leon would have Seismitoad re-use it this late into the battle, because if it were to faint, he'd be putting his own Charizard at a disadvantage.* "Grimm! Use Spirit Break!" *The Dark/Fairy type quickly looked to its trainer, nodding, and prepared to use its signature move. It withdrew its arm and curved it behind its body as it began to glow; when ready, the arm would crack out like a whip at full force.*
Nicholas
The Grimmsnarl blocked off the Sludge Bomb- and it must be from the help of Light Screen, too, obviously. Seismitoad looked panicked while Leon grimaced. Even a super effective move doesn't seem like it'll slow down this ~~monster~~ Pokemon. When Eden finally spoke from his side of the field, it startled both Leon and his partner- really, why is he so shattered? Is it because how that Grimmsnarl braved the attack? The rain is but a sprinkle now and the floods beneath their feet is drying up. Leon would want to tell Seismitoad to dodge and withdraw as fast as he can, but the tendril arm that shoots out from Grimmsnarl looks like the stuff from nightmares. Surely now equally paced, Seismitoad is hit. Leon has the front seat to watch as his dearly beloved water/ground-type gets hit by this so called Spirt Break. He could could have return Seismitoad instead of witnessing such horror, but what waste the use? Its eyes rolling up, Seismitoad falls on the ground, and the Galar champ could only stare at his 'mon with shaking pupils. It seems it's put down.
Billy
She glanced over at the battle and saw the arm and yelped, covering her eyes, she was very squeamish, her whole body was shaking.
Ruth
*As Grimmsnarl released the attack, it tried to aim for Seismitoad's belly; it knew that the hit would be rather powerful and while it didn't pull any punches, it didn't want to actually injure anything. When Seismitoad looked a bit more than fainted, it seemed a bit surprised, turning away and walking back towards Eden. The Champ was also a bit concerned for the frog, though he believed everything would be fine... If Leon chose not to continue, that would be acceptable, but either way, Grimmsnarl should probably take a break for now. Holding out the Pokemon's ball, he recalled it, and then grabbed the one belonging to Noctem— instead of throwing it up like he usually did, he simply underhanded it onto the field, the Fighting/Ghost type appearing and scouting around with a blank face like it always did. It seemed to wait for Leon, wondering whether or not he'd face an opponent.*
Billy
Monika uncovered her eyes and saw the frog, she knew when looking at it, something did not look right. She ran over as fast as she could and picked up the frog. Her eyes widened when she saw it's condition, it was not looking too good. She tried not to look up at Leon with her worried face, because it might worry him.
Nicholas
Returning Seismitoad halfheartedly, Leon couldn't get the words out from his throat as he wanted to tell his Pokémon that it done well. Seeing the fall of his third 'mon- which is half is team is almost devastating. And what was that? 3-5? He only managed to defeat one Pokémon from Eden's team. The first one, Noctem, is only weakened but at least still conscious. No, he can still turn this around. Surely...! Coincidentally, when Eden withdrew his Grimmsnarl, he then summon his Noctem as per mentioned. Leon quickly shakes his head and slap both his cheeks with his hands. Things may look bad, but it won't be any longer. Half a team could defeat an army- that's what he believes. "Alright, it's go time, Dragapult, you're up!" A ghostly dragon appears and it eyes squint at its opponent. The little two Dreepy at its head twitch their head around, more oblivious and curious of what's happening.
Billy
Monika wanted to be closer to the battle, so that she could see what injured the Pokemon a little better. So she went a few feet behind Leon, close enough to get a closer look, but far away enough that she was safe from any attack that missed.
Ruth
*Another Ghost-type... And this one was definetly faster than an Aegislash, meaning Phantom Force wouldn't work, nor would any Fighting-type moves... He could try Sky Drop, but that wasn't very smart... In all honesty, his Pokemon would go down here, but he'd be damned if he didn't do any damage.* "Let's kick things off with Future Sight!" *Noctem nodded, as it raised its hands up, creating a large orb of energy. Instead of throwing it at the opposing Pokemon, it instead was flung up into the sky, out of anyone's view... Who knew where it would come back down. As it did this, Noctem looked back towards Eden who nodded, as it quickly took off, jumping up into the air towards Dragapult as its claws turned black and enlarged rapidly [Shadow Claw].*
Nicholas
That Future Sight is going to come down when they least expect it. But in the meantime, there's no fretting. The attack might not even be that effective, depending. Like before, it's almost like a timer but not as bad as that Perish Song. Eden and his 'mon speaks between themselves like usual before Noctem charged forward with an attack. Dragapult doesn't seem really worried about the incoming attack, and when it allows Noctem to get close enough, it weaves its body around the opposing Pokémon and goes for a Sucker Punch just as Leon calls out for the move.
Ruth
*Well... No one was expecting that. Noctem got hit back a fair distance, slowly getting up and warily looking at the Dragapult again, wobbling a little bit. It seemed to tilt its head up for an instant before rushing Dragapult one more time, using the same move as before, only this time it was charging in from the ground and watching Dragapult to see if it would try another Sucker Punch.*
William
*Mari got teleported in along with her pokemon. Milotic happily want into the lake with the shiny Lilligent staying near by. Ninetails and Mari sat with eachother. Lopunny hopped in place watching the battle getting PUMPED UP! Meowstic was also watching the battle but calmly. Auroras was curious how they got here*
Jeanette
Lewis was incredibly surprised by the teleportation, but happy that his pokemon joined him shortly. Something else surprising was the new trainer who was not with them in the cave, holding an ice-cream. Perhaps this gengar was even more mischievous than his own ditto.
Nicholas
A Sucker Punch is good for when they least expect it and seeing that Noctem seems to be "Rashly" Charging for another attack is obvious bait. The Dreepy in each of Dragapult's ears stick their head out, getting excited and maybe wanting in on the action, too. Seeing this, Leon snickers a bit. "Alright, alright. Go ahead, use Dragon Darts!" He swings his arm to the side as he commanded them and the little critters burst from Dragapult, catapulting their way towards Noctem. High pitch "Screeeee"'s could be heard as they both cut through the air along toward the opposing 'mon.
Ruth
*Noctem stops short as it sees the two Dreepy firing towards it. For a second, it seems unsure of what to do, but then comes to a split-second decision. It holds its ground and waits, standing still as the two 1st stage Pokemon rocket forward, coming closer and closer... And just as they come upon it, the strange rod in its hair chimes a little bit; at a pitch much too high for any human to hear, but enough for a Pokemon. Noctem dives, straight through the ground and becomes a shadow, very literally, as it takes the offensive [Phantom Force]. It moves this way quickly towards Dragapult, re-appearing in front of it as it quickly moves to try and slash the opposing Pokemon. If it gets Sucker Punched, so what? It'll be damned if it doesn't land another hit before going down, so it'll just have to pull through somehow.*
Isabel
She ran over and hugged Monika, and almost squeezed her to death. "Oh my gosh! I can't believe I'm meeting you! I'm your biggest fan!" She was strong enough to lift her up and squeeze her tightly, with a huge smile on her face.
Nicholas
Dragapult's eyes drift down just as Noctem hides in the shadow and the two Dreepy screeched out, this time from hitting nothing. When Noctem popped out in front of it like a Jack-in-the-box, Leon tells Dragapult to hold its ground, receiving the hit. It closes it seyes tightly, being sent back a bit before recovering from Leon's, "You got this!" Then after a moment of recovery, it's Dragapult's time to initiate, flying toward Noctem in such a speed, it's eyes seem to glow as it Lock-On, it's opponent.
William
*Mari eye were sparkling watching Leon battle. Ninetails was happy for Mari as she laid on her lap* "Oof." *Mari said as she started to pet her*
Billy
She was surprised at this action, she could barely breathe "Y-Yes! T-Thank you! C-Can I breathe now..?" She asked, low of breath. She had never met a fan this excited, but her smile was very contagious, even though Monika was losing breath, she smiled too.
Isabel
She let go. "Oops! Sorry! It's just.." She squealed "I'm so glad I get to meet you!" She restrained herself from squeezing her again. Silvia came up behind her, still confused about how they got here.
Ruth
*Noctem already knows it's going to faint from the hit... It barely has any HP left either way. So it does the only thing it can do; the thing it's been trained to do, the thing it's best at. It quickly reaches down, **Slamming** The ground with both hands as the field begins to distort rapidly. Things begin to stretch and spin, but just as quickly as the weirdness starts, it stops. As the Pokemon gets up and Dragapult continues to fly towards it, it runs at it, trying to meet in an a football-esque stance, knowing it'll faint but still taking on the hit.*
Nicholas
Within proximity of each other, Dragapult starts powering up a Shadow Ball. The ball is growing in its mouth and it believes it should be able to take the Noctem down given its sights are set. But... It was all a facade. The two Dreepy that still hung around followed up on trying to hit Noctem from behind. The little ones' eyes are also glowing, the move Lock-On also affecting them. "Again! Dragon Darts!" Leon tells unexpectedly contrast to the Shadow Ball that Dragapult is forming. The two miniature Pokémon flies for the fighting/ghost-type Pokémon, too, ready to ~~go kamikaze~~ explode on impact.
Jasmin
Atlas had been spending most of his time alone but now it was finally time to meet some people after walking around a bit the sizeable man found some people at the lake, he decided to not interupt the battle going and instead aproached the others. He could always try to make smalltalk
Ruth
*Noctem turns just a little bit too late, both Dreepy ramming into it and exploding as the Pokemon is hit dead-on. There's a bit of a dust cloud, but when it finally begins to clear, Dragapult, Eden, and Leon would all be able to see the fainted form of the Fighting/Ghost type. Eden clicks his tongue a little; he's in no way dissapointed with Noctem, more-so himself as he really hadn't thought of a move like that occuring. Moving to get Noctem's Pokeball, he catches a glint of light out of the corner of his eye, moving and looking upwards. — When he does so, he finds that Future Sight has taken effect now; the large ball of energy Noctem shot up earlier has broken up and is falling back down like a meteorite; the pieces of energy bombard Dragapult from above, a surprise attack for sure.*
Nicholas
Dragapult's eyes widen when it senses a light coming down on it. When the Pokémon raises its head toward the glowing brightness, it got hit in the face from the the Future Sight. Stumbling from that, Dragapult lies low on the ground but tries to straighten itself back up. The Dreepy who returned are hurt from their hit, hiding in the ears of Dragapult once again. Although, one comes out and gives its mother a berry to help it; a Liechi berry that Leon prepares for his Pokémon before every battle. This lightens Dragapult up, making it able to striker harder and fiercer. Leon watched this only to shift his eyes over to Eden for his next 'mon.
Ruth
"You did good, take a rest.." *Quickly grabbing the black Pokeball, he recalled Noctem and set the ball off to the side alongside Gengar's. On instinct, he grabbed the next ball, as this was the usual order they went in.* "Alrighty, you'll be going up next then... Wait..." *Looking down at the ball, he seemed to hesitate on throwing this next Pokemon into the fray as he looks down at the black ball in his hand, then up and Leon and his waiting Dragapult. King is rather aptly named and, well... They didn't take too well to what happened with Seismitoad, and this next one loved its beatdowns... Plus, it might end up setting things on fire... Sighing, he started to reach back to his belt, grabbing another Pokeball to throw out instead.*
Billy
She raised her brows at Eden's hesitation. She was also patting Akari's head, like a dog, which was kind of what she was acting like at the moment. She glanced over at Akari and smiled at her every once in awhile.
Isabel
"Well! I'm going to go and watch the battle from... Farther away!" She didn't really like being this close to such an intense battle, she ran off, still being close enough to watch the battle, with her Shiny Sylveon at her side.
Nicholas
His eyes watched Eden at first but skims over to observing his Dragapult as the mother purrs with nuzzling its babies. Despite being a hard fighter, Dragapult is really kindhearted and a smile slowly reappears on Leon's fave after such a while from this match. He's so focused on getting an equal footing that he had been scowling the whole time. Seeing movement from Eden, Leon snap his attention back to the opposing trainer and sees a bit of distraught in his face, before switching his hand to another ball. Leon raises his brow, curious of this, but knows he can't say anything of it. Letting out a sigh, he's waits to see what this next one will be.
Richard
Alphonse would walk up to Monika giving a smile and noticing Akari who would run off. "Wh was that?" He raised an eyebrow at her actions as he didnt know what caused her to run off like that.
Billy
"Oh! She's just going to watch the battle from farther away!" She smiled at him and patted next to her, motioning for him to sit.
Richard
Al would do so. "Seems like Eden's hesitating" Al obserberved his eyes fixated on the battle ahead.
Billy
She nodded. "Maybe there's something up with that Pokemon?" Monika didn't feel like using her Psychic Powers to see what he's thinking about, because it makes her head hurt like hell.
Ruth
*He looked between the two balls again, still debating who he'd send out. He didn't exactly want to hurt Leon's Dragapult... But Grimmsnarl needed to be preserved a bit longer, and he couldn't send out Poison/Fighting-types in good conscience... Sighing, he placed the Ultra Ball back on his belt. Tossing the black ball up once to measure its height, he did the same throw as usual, however, applied much more force to it than before; he knew he'd need the space, and even backed up a little bit for good measure.* "Come on out..." *And as he said it, out came King... Now, a normal Charizard was 5'07. Buzzwole was 7'10. Head to tail, Dragapult was 9'10. So why the heck was this thing standing at 10'06; the same official height as the god of Pokemon? Why not; while a good 2 feet or so was just its massive serpentine body past the waist, that still put it around 8 feet, and it's wingspan was massive. Chariz- no, the Pokemon, because that sure as heck wasn't Charizard, gave a loud and guttural roar towards the skies, and began to harshly beat its wings as it rose slightly off the ground, though its tail was still able to reach. In a way, it was almost majecstic; a serpentine dragon in beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows. But at the same time, it was regal, and it was terrifying.* "King!" *The Pokemon turned back towards Eden; this was its nickname, as it snorted.* "Try not to... You know. Just don't burn down anything." *If the Fusion was more humane, it would've rolled its eyes. Instead, it just gave another snort as smoke plumed from its nostrils, and it turned back towards its foes as Eden just sighed, crossing his arms.*
Billy
Monika looked up at the creature, actually kind of scared of it. She clutched onto Al, shaking a little bit. "S-So... That's why.." When she heard him say 'don't burn down anything' her eyes widened, and she shook a whole lot more, clutching tighter to Al.
Nicholas
Leon's amber eyes would shimmer first before they widen. "What ~~the hell~~ is that thing?" Leon says under his breath. The Dreepy that played around before feels the weight of the presence in their little ghostly bodies and hide inside the ears of Dragapult once again. It's huge! If Leon didn't know right, it could compare to a Dynamaxed Pokemon, which thankfully, it doesn't. But for supposedly the base form, it's massive! Leon gulps from seeing this. Is he frightened? No, he can't be. It's exciting to face such a foe and it makes the Galar champ even more impressed that Eden could behold this beast in a Pokéball. Although, it wasn't a normal ball, he knows. It's the black ones. They must be for these *Special* Ones. He worries over Dragapult, glancing over his Pokémon. But the 'mon seems to want to save face as it attempts to glare at its opponent.
Ruth
*He notices Leon's expression, sighing again. He'll try to contain any damage as he knows King has tendencies... But he's still going to try to win.* "Alright, King! Use Dragon Pu-" *Eden can't even finish his command before the Charizard-Arbok Fusion rushes forward in the air, much faster than it should be. This would strike rather odd... Dragapult should be much faster than something this big and clunky, right? ....Right?*

*Nevertheless, the large Pokemon quickly approaches. As it nears Dragapult, it roars threateningly, the sheer force of this causing a slight wind. It's long tail begins to glow green, and suddenly, it does a 180 as the long 2' tail comes crashing towards Dragapult [Dragon Tail]. Evidently, King was unimpressed and wanted to see if Leon had anything better; if the attack succeeded, and if Dragapult survived, a switch would be forced to another of his remaining Pokemon.*
Nicholas
The whole ground and air seems to shake from the roar of that hybrid. ~~Shit!~~ What was Leon thinking? This wasn't fun at all! The excitement he had before becomes extreme distress when Dragapult was slammed by the tail and its eyes seem to pop from its head. As the Pokémon flies back its whole body shimmers into a light and it withdraws back into its Pokéball. Dragapult might as well have fainted, that being super effective and that hit was something that can even send shockwaves. Leon breathes out erratically. This isn't how it should be. Why did Eden summon such a thing into the field? But he can't back down. There's *Hope.* Since this King seems to be very strong in offense, Leon summons the old bloke, Mr. Rime, next. It tap dances despite being faced with a *Giant.* All his Pokémon have been watching from their Pokéballs so they know what they're up against... Maybe. "Quickly, Mr. Rime, Reflect!" Leon commands before King could make a move.
Ruth
"......Use Fire Bl-" *Again, Eden can't even finish calling out one of his commands as his massive Fire type lands in front of Mr. Rime with a loud "THUMP!" Noise. It stares it down, fire in its eyes as it stares for a few more seconds... Then looks up to the sky and lets out another terrifying roar. Following this, it proceeds to absolutely crush the Ice-type with a large-scale attack, then it turns and slowly stomps back towards Eden. As it nears it lowers down, an almost funny sight as the Pokemon goes down to about 5 feet after crouching. Slowly, it reaches out one of its massive hands towards Eden, who simply sighs and understands... He wonders how his opponent will feel if he explains... He grabs the black Pokeball, tapping it on the finger of his hybrid as with a large noise, King turns into a light blue and is sucked into the ball, which Eden puts on his belt. Wordlessly and without explanation, Eden underhands a new ball, this one an Ultra. Out pops... Victreebel? The Pokemon looks similar, though the key difference is its colour scheme, and that its hands are angled towards the opponent, almost resembling fists.*
Nicholas
This barely seems fair now. Is Leon, the *Galar champion*, going to be so overwhelmed? Even if Mr. Rime moved his dusty butt from the move, since it was coming from such an oversized thing, the blast was even more massive than the norm. The ground bursted in flames and the poor ice/psychic type falls under the waves of flames. The heat reaches over to Leon and he feels like his brows would burn off. At the last second, he shields his face with his arm. Once everything has calm down, Leon lowers his arm only to see that the Pokémon before had disappeared and another hybrid, which looks partly like a Victreebel has replaced it. Mr. Rime is pass out on the ground, unmoving. Despite the dry air from that Fire Blast before, Leon could feel his eyes almost water from seeing this. *"His Pokémon is suffering."* Their fall can't be in vain(?).

Withdrawing Mr. Rime without a word, Leon tugs his cap down to fit his head more and then throws his next Pokéball impatiently. Out comes Charizard, his MVP, his partner, his *Friend.* "Witness this, Eden. Witness what Galar is made of!" Withdrawing Charizard back, the Dynamax bracelet at Leon's wrist glows red. Once the 'mon is safely back in, the Pokémon grew in size! The whole ball now looks like a hologram and Leon turns around as he throws this oversized Pokéball in the air. When Charizard pops out, it wasn't the same anymore. Well, at least in that moment. What came out was a Charizard with flames that fumes from its mouth and ears. Charizard's eyes are also glowing and it towers about the trees of the forest, looking down at the hybrid.
Ruth
"Oh... Oh." *Eden looked up— he'd heard, but he'd never seen up close. Leon's Gigantamax Charizard— it was even bigger than King was, and that in itself was impressive. Looking up at it alongside his Victreebel, Eden was rather worried; he doubted King would come back out now, and this thing was flying type. Though... If he remembered correctly, dynamax and the transformation counterpart only lasted for a certain time... Plus, he had **That** On his side.* "Use Infestation!" *The pitcher plant turned and quickly "Nodded", as it didn't really have any neck. Slamming the ground with its tail to gain some height, it jumped up a little, tilting its pitcher sideways as a number of small black dots came out; these were insects. They were incredibly small normally, and the massive Charizard likely wouldn't be able to see them at all as they began to buzz around its feet and knees; soon enough, he'd be feeling their effect, and the fact he was gigantified would just annoy the Fire-type more.* "Watch out! He's gonna have strong moves!" *As Victreebel landed, it guarded its plant with the red leaf it usually did, placing its "Arms" In front of its body as well and waiting.*
Nicholas
Normally Leon would be excited at this stage. Whenever he Gigantamax Charizard, it's a spectacle for both himself and the people who witness it. This part is where he's supposed to have fun *Dominating* The battle. But what he witnessed as his Pokémon fall like flies- and that massive hybrid- dampened his mood. Heck, maybe it's his own fault for getting so serious about this. The Infestation takes its hit but Leon is already ready for the next move. "You can do this, buddy," He says sternly to Charizard and cross his arms. His partner that has been with him since day one would know what is useful and what is not. G-max Charizard roars, it being as loud as to reverberate the skies. The air starts to shift as Charizard flaps its wings, collecting the winds around it. When it finally strokes its wing in a fierce movement, tornadoes would shoot up at the variant (Max Airstream).
Ruth
*Victreebel would do its best to take the attack, digging in its roots to try not to be knocked off balance or slammed into something. The attack was super-effective and Victreebel visibly struggled, being thrown back a good few meters and cut up from the high-power wind. The single attack had done well over half its HP; about 2/3ds. When the attack finished, Eden was rather surprised— this thing could do that a few more times, got stronger for every attack, and had double HP; well, he should've seen this coming... But instead of thinking to the future, he had to focus on **Now**.* "Victory, can you still battle?" *His Victreebel unrooted itself, turning back to him with something like grim determination, which Eden's face mirrored.* "Alright, let's see if you can give this thing a run for its money..." *Victreebel ate its Sitrus Berry, regaining some of its HP.* "Alright, use Toxic!!" *Victory's leaf was removed from its pitcher as it began to make strange gurgling noises. Soon enough, a bubble began to rise from its "Mouth", made from the juicy acid it had in there. The bubble continued to grow and grow in size, until it was much bigger than Victory, still connected to its face. With a crouching motion, the bubble was disconnected from it and launched at Charizard in hopes to poison it once it popped on it, all the while experiencing some discomfort from the insects biting at its legs thanks to Infestation.*
Nicholas
It had survive the blow from the *Dynamax* Move? Leon didn't see this coming, assuming it would have went down instantly. This causes the man to grin once again, but it's *Not* One of amusement. Eden's will for his Pokémon to hang on along with the 'mons being adamant could help both go through a tough situation. Leon will forever regret his hesitation, which resulted in his Pokémon to suffer from it.

The champ feels like it would be a waste to whip out another Dynamax move. So when the Victreebel goes for the move Toxic, Leon commands his Pokémon to use his wings to change the trajectory of the bubble. It won't effect it, obviously, but with this Charizard also swings its fiery tail out from behind it to smack the Victreebel.

*Eden isn't exactly sure what to do here; Toxic seemingly won't work right now unless he manages to get close, and Victreebel isn't exactly the most... Mobile Pokemon. As Victory quickly looks back, Eden simply gives a nod; there isn't much to be done, but at least they can try something. As the tail launches towards Victreebel, coming closer and closer, it does something unexpected. It jumps. As it does this, instead of taking the full hit of the tail and potentially getting crushed, it's flung up into the air by the attack... However, it was still damage, and chances are, Victory will faint upon impact with the ground... So, it does the only thing it can do. As it reaches the peak of the ascension, it gets as close as it can to the Gigantamax Pokemon, tilts its pitcher, and lets out a powerful cloud of acidic poison almost instantly, like a bomb went off. In reality, this was it using the move Belch, thanks to the berry it had consumed earlier and its... Biology ~~it eats people alive~~. However, that was all it had in it, and soon after, it began to fall, hitting the ground, where it quickly went unconscious.*

*As it faints, the area distorts again and then it becomes apparent why these slow Pokemon have been able to compete with his generally fast team... When Noctem slammed its hands before it recklessly charged in to its death, it had executed a Trick Room. Thanks to this, Eden's slower team had been able to move at a good clip, but now it was up. Reflect and Light Screen had long-since dissipated, the only condition being Charizard's speed boost from its Max Move.*

Taking the Belch, Charizard winces from that, even letting out a couple coughs. With it being so large, the Pokémon takes up the whole forest and moving around so would just destroy the surrounding trees which it doesn't want that. Still, the Pokémon wouldn't want to hold back when push comes to shove. The variant showed a valiant effort and Leon looks up to his Charizard to see if his partner is still hanging on. "You alright up there, bud?" The fiery snarl it holds answers Leon before the Pokémon roar out again in robust. But even the champ knows Charizard is trying its best to fight the infestation that's nipping at it. He would have to end this as quickly as possible. Before the Gigantamax falls or before that infestation eats his partner up. It'll just be tougher if Charizard reverts to its base form.

"Alright. Grimm, you're back up again!" *Throwing the Ultra Ball containing his Dark/Fairy type, Grimmsnarl pops back out again, quickly looking back to Eden, who holds up a 2, then a 1. Grimm snorts; knowing King, the big Fire-type would give up on the fight and leave it to them. Still... It looked upwards to the G-Max Charizard. A tough foe for sure, though definitely not anything the team couldn't defeat. Quickly muttering, it set up a Light Screen, then used a Reflect in succession to half any damage that might come their way, before waiting to see what move this huge opponent would use, as Eden thought to himself.* 'If we can just stall this thing out and back to normal size... Grimm... Please hang in there..! A bit longer!'
