"Counter with Poison Sting!" The camper ordered. The Sandslash would proceed to jump into the air, tuck its self into a ball, and begin to spin as it unleashed a barrage of of poisonous needles at the incoming leaves and Snivy. Several of the needles would pierce the needles, pinning them to boulders as they flew backwards, while others hit the mark, scrapping the Sandslash, and while doing damage, its quills helped to soften some of it.

The multiple stingers pierced Snips, sending him reeling back with pain. Grimacing from the pain he could see in Snips face, he remembered the Sandslash's movements. Right after the Poison Sting, it had to spin in midair while it slowed down. "Snips, Iron Tail." Reno ordered, watching Snips' tail ignite in an ethereal glow. Snips rushed forward, before swinging its glowing tail at the spinning Sandslash.

Except Kenny had one more surprise up his sleeve. "Gyro Ball!" He commanded. Instead of the Sandslash slowing down to land it continued to spin, hitting the ground in its ball form as it violently spun, giving off a silver glow as its quills stuck out and hardened like steel. The move would protect it from some of the damage from the Iron Tail that connected with its body with a clang, but hopefully its quills scrapping against the incoming Pokemon would also do damage, plus the poison.

Snips felt the grinding against his tail from the Gyro Ball, causing him a great deal of pain. Bouncing away from the Sandslash, Snips fell onto one knee. Getting up with some effort, snips brandished a leaf before igniting it with Leaf Blade. Charging forward again, Snips leaped into the air and launched a jump slash at the Sandslash.

"Once more! Poison Jab!" Kenny commanded. It was time for an all-or-nothing assault. The Sandslash flung its right claw down, holding it at its left side as it began to glow purple. The mouse Pokemon would then leap at the Snivy, meeting it in midair as it swiped at it with its poisonous claw. As the creature landed it would pant for a few seconds before toppling over, knocked out, having been sliced by the Snivy, its only reconciliation was that maybe it took the snake down with it.

Snips landed on the ground behind the Sandslash, the Leaf Blade extended out in the follow up to his slash. Standing up to a full stand, Snips' Leaf Blade deactivated and Snips collapsed to the ground. Reaching his Pokeball out, Reno returned Snips to the sphere. "Thanks fer the fight. Now, for the main course."

Reno walked past the child hiker, giving him a pat on the back as he passed him. Walking to the opposite side of Brock, Reno roared out, "Come take me on if ya think yer hard enough."

"So, you wish to face the rock?" Brock said as he stared down Reno, standing a top a small boulder, arms folded. "You think you can crack my rock-solid willpower? Let's see if you got what it takes!" The gym leader said in a stern voice, flicking a Pokeball out. "Graveler, time to rock!" He cried out as the ball popped open, releasing from within the four armed rock menace, Graveler.

Reno just let a smirk appear on his face at the challenge Brock was giving him. "I don't need ta crack it. I just need to flow through it like water. 'Ope ya don't mind." Reno slowly uttered, staring down the stone cold Gym Leader across from him. Reaching into his pack, he grabbed a trio of Pokeballs. Picking one of the Net Balls out of the batch, he tossed it out.

"Alrighty, Nereus. This is yer big chance so lets see some get up and go out there. I know I'm askin' a lot of ya, but I believe in ya. So lets go." Reno quickly whispered to his Pokemon, crouching down so the tiny Tadpole Pokemon could hear. Rubbing her head, Reno stood up and barked out an order. "Nereus, Water Gun." he ordered, pointing at the Graveler. Nereus shyly turned to face the Graveler before firing off a stream of high speed water at the quadruple armed rock monster.

Brock was unmoved by Reno's confidence and equally unmoved demeanor, instead he stood firm, arms still folded, and stared at the two Pokemon on the field before him, mindful of the Water Gun that was being fired at his own Graveler. "Stone Edge." He simply uttered. The Graveler would respond by jumping off the ground ever so slightly, and slamming back down on it with a tremendous thud, much more violent than one might think such a pathetic jump would make. Nevertheless the jump summoned a trailing row of large jagged rocks that pierced out of the ground in front of the rock type, racing towards the Poliwag as they intercepted and protected their creator from the incoming blast of water.

"You don't talk much, do ya? Maybe you should lighten up a little and smile some. Need to adapt to survive," Reno told the Gym Leader, completely ignoring the passive look on his face. Noticing the jagged shards of stone heading for Nereus, he ordered, "Nereus, Doubleslap those hunks a rock outta the air."

The shiny Poliwag obeyed without question, spinning on her heels before slapping the rocks out of the air with her tail. A few of the shards got past the defensive maneuver but they merely grazed Nereus. "Add on a 'Ypnosis, Nereus." Reno ordered, taking on a dramatic stance, one hand extended to point at the Graveler with his legs spaced a little further than shoulder width. Nereus turned to face her target before emitting an array of Psychic Chi take could be almost seen heading for the Graveler to attempt to make it fall asleep.

"Sandstorm." Brock uttered, unmoved by Reno's words and advice, Brock was true to his nature, an unmovable, solid rock of determination and will. Regardless, the Hypnosis was quickly beginning to take effect, but Graveler planned on executing its move before it succumbed to sleep as it spun around violently, grinding the rock beneath it into sand, kicking up clouds of the substance as a fierce sandstorm engulfed the field, the Graveler blending into the sandstorm, might this be Sand Veil?

Raising an eyebrow at the Sandstorm the Graveler was kicking up, Reno just looked down at Nereus and ordered, "Nereus, Rain Dance." The tiny bright blue Tadpole Pokemon fired a orb of water into the air, which quickly created rain clouds in the Gym. The falling rain quickly quelled the Sandstorm that was attempting to be kicked up. Watching the Graveler, Nereus and Reno were waiting to see it fall asleep or react again.

That rain may have done more harm than good as the drops of liquid pelted the body of the rock Pokemon, stinging it awake. "Earthquake." Brock ordered, unmoved by the rain that begun to soak him. The Graveler would jump once again, barely off the ground, and slam down something fierce, causing the entire gym to shake violently, and cause tiny fissures to form as chunks of rock from the nearby boulders were flung.

The rocks slammed into Nereus, making the tiny Tadpole cry out in pain. Wincing at his Pokemon's pain, he locked eyes with Brock. "Staring contest!!" Reno randomly shouted, staring down the Gym Leader. Not looking away from Brock, he ordered, "Nereus, Bubblebeam." The little Tadpole Pokemon began to fire out a barrage of bubbles focused towards Graveler. The massive quantity of them would keep them from being burst if the Graveler used Stone Edge again.

"Rock Tomb." Brock commanded, unmoved by Reno's antics in trying to start a staring contest with the gym leader. Graveler stood firm as the Bubblebeam was fired off, the Rock type and its trainer had a plan however, an unspoken plot between the two of them. While the Poliwag was firing its attack the four armed creature would stamp one foot on the ground, sending up from around Poliwag, four jagged pillars of rock pointed towards the tadpole, looking to bind it in place and harm it, meanwhile Graveler took the Bubblebeam, grunting in pain as it attempted to bear the assault.

Reno kept his gaze locked onto Brock in an attepmt to make him blink or anything. Hearing the order from across the room, Reno countered with, "Nereus, Water Gun at the floor." The Poliwag stopped the stream of bubbles and looked to the floor before firing a pressurized stream of water at the ground. The force propelled Nereus into the air, allowing her to avoid being trapped by the rocks the Rock Tomb kicked up. They scrapped her sides as she shot up, but she made it out without too much damage. Landing on the ground again, Nereus charged forward, hoping to make this a physical fight.

Seeing her intentions, Reno ordered, "Nereus, Body Slam." The little Tadpole Pokemon began to move faster before taking off at the Graveler with its body shooting forward at the four-armed rock beast.
