Gary
Arriving at the one island archipelago, He took in the wind as he looked around, Seeing native tress and water that so often brushed up against the shore of the rather small island, It was a contrast of calmness and beauty among the island, He could only look and take it all in with Simisage beside him to do the same.
Jennifer
Smol and Thundra seemed to be in awe at all the beauty around them, they haven't seen beauty like this since they were in Alola. Smol would grip her wrist, she had decided to wear her z ring today, she didn't use her z power often but she saved it for special occasions. "This place looks amazing!"
Gary
"Yeah, It really is", Baxter would turn to face her as Simisage jumped in front of Baxter, Stancing with a thumbs up and a fist behind it's back, Baxter took a deep breath as he internally promised himself to be calm through the battle, Not to over-evalute simplicities and the battle overall, He looked upon Simisage from behind as a plant of hope began to grow from the crack loss he experienced.
Jennifer
Smol takes a deep breath as well, her breathing syncing up with her Pikachu's as she raises her arm, Thundra running along her arm and jumping in front of Smol. "Let's go Thundra!"
Elizabeth
"Pika Pika!" Thundra calls out as she takes a battle stance, electricity sparking from her cheeks.
Gary
"**Low Kick**", Baxter would calmly say as Simisage would quickly follow, Doing various acrobatics towards Pikachu as he would then throw itself into the air, Curling into a spinning ball, And when close enough to Pikachu, Unwinding it's leg to send a low Kick to the Pikachu, The kick was so fast that the air around it moved.
Jennifer
Smol would give a small nod to her Pikachu, allowing itself to be hit, the hit sending Thundra into the air while Smol would suddenly call out a command. "Thundra use Iron tail!" Thundra's tail would start to glow as it landed on the ground before suddenly lunging at Simisage, spinning around to slash it's tail at the grass monkey.
Gary
Simisage instinctively would hold it's arms up to block the heavy iron tail that came in a spin, As the tail clashed with Simisage's arms, Simisage would be sent grinding back through the sand and eventually to his knees, It was a powerful hit, So much that Simisage was tired from the hit all together, Though it's resilience pulled through to make it stand to it's feet once again, Soon after Baxter would exclaim once more, "**Leaf Storm**"

Simisage would moves it's hands/arms in a circular fashion, As it did this, Leafs would start to form from the Simisage, And all at once the Simisage would launch the vast variously shaped leafs at the Pikachu, They came at high speed.
Jennifer
Smol watched the leaves carefully, thinking up a plan. "Thundra charge right through that leaf storm with volt tackle!" Thundra would first move out of the way before charging forward at Simisage, electricity surrounding the Pikachu as it charged right at Simisage.
Gary
"**Simisage!, Quick!**", Simisage would quickly whip it's hair forward, As it did this, It's long length of leafy like hair would become circular, Forming a shield out of it's hair with spikes coming out the front of it, It was on the defensive from this powerful move, Too the point that Simisage would dig it's feet into the ground to solidify it's stance and strengthen it's spiky shield.
Jennifer
Thundra's volt tackle hits the spiky shield, taking damage from both the recoil damage and the shield's damage. "Thundra can you still go on?" Thundra looks back at Smol and nods. "Great! Circle around with quick attack!" Thundra would start using it's quick attack to circle around Simisage at full speed.
Gary
Simisage would be looking around itself frantically as after images of Pikachu was appearing and disappearing at the same time, It was lost in action until it heard Baxter's voice, "**Simisage, Low Kick at the ground in a circle**", Simisage would look at the ground first, Then following his command, Low kicking the ground in a circular fashion, The dust and ground particles from the dirt would come up in a circle around Simisage, In hopes it was thick for Pikachu to be blinded before coming in to attack.
Jennifer
Smol would nod towards her Pikachu, while the dust did blind Pikachu Smol was betting on something like this happening. "Aim forward and use Volt tackle at full power!" Thundra would come up behind Simisage, trusting Smol's command and using Volt tackle, aiming for Simisage's back.
Gary
Simisage would quickly turn around to see the volt tackle coming towards him, The volt tackle hit Simisage successfully, first shocking Simisage then sending Simisage forward fast, Hitting the ground and stopping in front of Baxter, Baxter would comfort his Simisage and return it to it's ball, "You did real good Simisage, You should rest now", Baxter would un-strap another pokèball as he stood still, Finally throwing it up to the air, The light acting as an entrance to a Poliwrath, It stood great, But irritated and angry, It's fist held up strongly.
Jennifer
Smol would watch as the Simisage gets returned as her Pikachu runs back over to her. "You did great Thundra, take a small rest." Smol says as Thundra climbs up onto her head. Smol would take out another pokeball, throwing it up into the air as in a flash of light her Decidueye would appear. "I'm counting on you Robin!" The Decidueye would look the Poliwrath up and down before turning to Smol and nodding.
Gary
Poliwrath would do the same, Staring at the bird pokèmon menacingly before acting quickly from Baxter's words, "**Poliwrath, Dig!**", Poliwrath would punch the ground at rapid speed, The after images of it's punches showing, Soon enough, It would drill it's way underground, Covering it's initial hole to the underground by it's strong legs kicking back, Silence would fill the battle ground as Poliwrath was seemingly no where to be found.
Jennifer
The Decidueye would quickly look around before having Smol call out to it. "Use grass pledge into the hole!" The Decidueye would ready an arrow, shooting it into the hole to trigger Grass pledge, this wasn't Smol's first time dealing with dig. Smol had clearly also had Decidueye perfect it's aim just for situations like these.
Gary
Decidueye's perfect aim was troublesome, As when grass pledge went into effect, Spreading through the hole canal, Poliwrath was forced out the ground, Breaking dirt and ground at the side of Decidueye, Seeing as it was already positioned there in the first place, As it was suspended in the next to Decidueye, Baxter would shout out, "**Dynamic Punch!!**", Poliwrath would puts it's hand together, As it attempted to bring it down upon the Decidueye.
