The lights throughout the gym began to quickly light up as Ashley stepped into the gym. "Somebody looking for me?" The young eager bird enthusiast pushed open the door to the backside of his gym, a smile showing as the cameras made him aware of the challenger seeking the Kikyo gym badge. "Hello there!" Freddie bellowed out, a once eager challenger of the gyms who simply found his home in Kikyo. A slight gut after the sedentary life, mid-twenties with a simple black t-shirt and pants mellowing out with a full head of thick chestnut hair. Freddie was still cute in his own way. "I'm Frederick, gym leader here in Kikyo. Lover of all things birds. Lemme introduce you to the battle field." The man kicked a button next to his spot and the official white lines indicating the battle perimeters appeared on the floor. As Fred took his place in front of Ashley, the entire gym platform began to rise up into the air. "Before we battle, you'll get to experience what bird pokemon experience!" As the platform reached it's destination on the 2nd floor, Frederick looked around. The gym perimeter was shaped like a circle, and the boundaries were made up of trees. Overhead, tree branches crisscrossed above at varying levels, giving a place for flying types to perch on top.

Frederick looked up into the air and then back at his challenger. "The official rules here at the Kikyo Gym are quite simple. This will be a 3-on-3 single battle. I will not be switching out my pokemon, but you are free to do whatever it takes to achieve victory!."
[break][break]
The gym leader grabbed onto his first pokeball and released Deluge, the seagull pokemon who let out a ferocious cawing noise and perched up high waiting for her opponent. "Challenger always gets the first move." Frederick announced, a verbal gesture to let the battle commence. 
[break][break]
TL;DR: Frederick arrived to the scene, mentioned it was a 3v3 and released Deluge, his first battler to the stage.

Frederick's eyes widened when he saw the Mawile that Ashley sent out.[break][break]

"Jesus Christ, what is THAT abomination."[break][break]

It was one of the ugliest pokemon he'd ever seen, a far cry from his graceful flying type pokemon. It's mouth was shaped like a cucumber and literally hanging off from it's face. [break][break]

The maw of the ugly little fucker began salivating before releasing one of the most terrifying cries Frederick had even heard, a sound that startled Wingull and reduced his attacking strength.[break][break]

The Mawile didn't begin attacking right away, opting to spew something out of it's body as thick clouds of mist swamped the battlefield on the ground around the steel type.[break][break]

"Looks like it knows Mist as well..." Frederick suddenly smiled. "You know what! You're right! This flying type arena needed some clouds to simulate the true fleeting experience of birds soaring through the air! Wingull, let's help em out!"[break][break]

Wingull began spraying water into it's nostrils before releasing it's own puffs of Mist clouds that floated in the air, surrounding the seagull. Frederick smiled again. The mist wasn't exactly thick enough to act like Sand Veil during a Sandstorm, but he knew that if Ashley was trying to play hide and seek in the misty terrain against his Wingull, his bird would have the advantage in spotting them due to it's Keen Eye.
[break][break]
TL;DR: Wingull's attack was lowered! Wingull used Mist! ASHLEY LEE

Frederick's eyes widened when he saw the Mawile that Ashley sent out.[break][break]

"It's going on the offensive! Watch out!."[break][break]

Wingull saw the silverly blur of Mawile as it leaped up and rammed it's hardened iron head right at the wingull[break][break]

Frederick knew it was going to hurt a shit ton for his wingull if Mawile made direct contact, even with a type advantage against the attack. [break][break]

Mawile charged through the air, screaming like a cannon ball as it whirtled right at Wingull. Wingull was hit, but thanks to it's type advantage, he managed to stay in the air by flapping it's giant wings.

"That was close!" thought Fred. "Wingull! Counter with Air Cutter! Whatever you do, next time don't let him land a direct attack and knock you out of the sky!"[break][break]

Frederick watched as Wingull carried out his orders. It's wings slashed wildly, sending razor sharp twirling slices of air whirtling right at Mawile like a thousand knives. It allowed Wingull to attack from a bit of a distance without getting too close to that abomination, which intimidated even Frederick even though he was standing at a distance. He wondered if it's attack would do any affect against the tough iron defenses of the Steel type.
[break][break]
TL;DR: Wingull used Air Cutter ASHLEY LEE

Frederick's eyes widened when he saw the Mawile that Ashley sent out.[break][break]

"Yes!"[break][break]

Frederick pumped his fist as the Air Cutter made contact with the Mawile, but the Steel type held firm despite the barrage of razor sharp air blades. "Damn, that would be enough to make some severe lacerations on most pokemon, but this little monster is tough!"[break][break]

"How the hell are we going to break though... Oh come on! She's using the same attack again?" [break][break]

Once again, Mawile's iron head hurtled right at Wingull once again. [break][break]

"Get out of the way!" yelled Fred.[break][break]

Wingull rolled to it's side. Despite getting it's body out of the way, Mawile's head managed to make contact with one of Wingull's giants wings. [break][break]

"CAWWW!" Wingull cried out as it lost it's balance and began to stall in the air. Thanks to it's naturally large wings however, it could glide back down without falling straight back down to the platform. "Crap, he clipped it's wing." He wouldn't try to risk another flying type move right now.[break][break]

"Keep it away! Use Brine!" [break][break]

Taking a deep breath, Wingull gathered water in it's beak before firing out a highly pressurized and powerful torrent of water straight at Mawile.
[break][break]
TL;DR: Wingull used Brine ASHLEY LEE

It was a direct hit.[break][break]

The cold unforgiving salt water pounded right into the face of the Mawile, causing it to vomit. "Yuck, disgusting." Frederick cringed as he saw the ghastly contents Mawile spat out.[break][break]

"This is what you get when you lack ranged attacks!" Frederick grinned. Looking at the saltwater covered Mawile, Frederick suddenly remembered Science class again.[break][break]

"Saltwater and metal do not mix, as it causes metal to corrode. The combination of moisture, oxygen and salt, especially sodium chloride, damages metal worse than rust does. This combination corrodes, or eats away at, the metal, weakening it and causing it to fall apart."[break][break]

The mist around the battlefield would be providing the moisture, the oxygen is already in the atmosphere, and with the salt in his Brine attack... He surmised that it might not be happening immediately, but Mawile's steel armor is slowly starting to weaken as every turn passed.[break][break]

"Perfect." Thought the bird type specialist. "If I can score get a direct hit, I might be able to take that ugly little abomination out!"[break][break]

Unfortunately, the Mawile did not plan to let Wingull get close as she tried to recover.[break][break]

"What the..." Stammered Fred as Mawile started to glow a shade of pink, before releasing a strange pink wave of ominous energy, knocking Wingull back onto the ground and towards the edge as she tried to get back into the air.[break][break]

TL;DR: Mawile's steel armor is weakening. Fairy wind manages to keep Wingull away for now.ASHLEY LEE

"Damn, this little bugger is tough." Even in that condition, spewing her stomach contents everywhere, Mawile held firm, intending to continue to battle.[break][break]

He looked over at his Wingull. It was obvious that he was tired. His grass type flyer didn't exactly have many powerful attacks, and he did not want to risk sending out his dark type right now.[break][break]

"Come on Wingull! You can do it!" Fred yelled.[break][break]

Mawile began to glow pink again. "Looks like they are preparing another wave of that strange pink wind..." thought Fred. However, from the previous attack, he knew that the little abomination's strengths lay mostly in it's physical attacks. It's control of it's fairy wind was not perfect, especially not when it's in this state.[break][break]

"Wingull! Counter with Water Pulse!" Wingull obliged, pressing it's wings together to it's body before extending them in a flurry, sending a wide arc of pulsating water rushing straight at the Mawile. Fred watched, wondering which attack would be knocking out the opponent first as the two special attacks whizzed at each other. The strange ominous pink wind once again engulfed wingull.

[break][break]TL;DR: Wingull is hit by fairy wind. Wingull used Water PulseASHLEY LEE

The exhausted Wingull stood no chance.[break][break]

"Wingull! Get out of the way!" yelled Frederick. However, the flying type specialist knew that Wingull was far too fatigued.[break][break]

Donphan rammed right into the Wingull, knocking out the tired flying/water type.[break][break]

"Ah crud, I coulda really used a water attack against this elephant." grumbled Fred as he withdrew the fainted the Wingull. He weighed his options. "This thing doesn't look like he can manuever around all that easily. I do want to save the better agility of my Murkrow for later..." he thought. He made his decision by pulling out the pokeball of his grass type flier.[break][break]

"Alright Hoppip, you're up!"[break][break]

The cottonweed pokemon came out of it's pokeball in a burst of white light, gently rising up into the air as it spun it's leaves around in the air like the rotary blades of a helicopter. Frederick frowned. Due to being inside of a pokemon gym, his grass type couldn't take advantage of a sunny weather to make use of it's ability. Hoppip didn't exactly have any powerful moves that could one hit a pokemon, instead of relying on a variety of status inflicting moves to wear it's foe down. This battle would come down to if Hoppip could drag out the battle long enough to wear the armored elephant down.
[break][break]TL;DR: Fred sent out HoppipASHLEY LEE
