GOOOOOD Afternoon Hoenn and whoever listens in! Back with battles, back with tension, this is 99.9 FM Battleradio Hoenn! We are waiting for our Reporters to come in from Fortree City where a tournament is held for the Fireleaf Festival!

That’s right! We are here waiting for the very first battle to begin for the “Battles under the Big Tree” Tournament! My name is Thomas Lorraine and Melanie Shuckle is here with me reporting LIVE from the event! The first round is about to start and we see two almost monotype-teams already on the field!

Thanks Tom! Yes, indeed a Monotype Flying Team from Camper Terrell who is here, defending the Fortree City Gyms honour against Trainer Tix, a foreign trainer coming here all the way from Unova! They even participated in the Bake of yesterday and won 2nd prize! And now they try their skill in the tournament with an ALMOST mono-poison type team! Only their Rotom is the odd one out!

Now, Mel, lets summarize the matchup before the fight begins! Since you already mentioned the Rotom, let’s complete Tix team: We have: Toxicroak, Toxtricity, Clodsire, Crobat and Scolipede! I think it’s worth mentioning that Rotom is in its Heat-Form! Maybe even possessing Tix own oven?

Tom you clown! Anyways, Terrell is bringing his well-known Taillow and Swellow into the fight who are his aces in the gym! But he’s got them well supported by Skarmory, Dodrio, Fearow and a Noivern! Tom, what do you think about this matchup?

Well, Monotype Teams are usually easier to assess, and i think that’s the case here! While Flying and Poison Type usually have a neutral matchup, i think Tix has clearly the upper hand here! TWO electric types are already a HUGE boost for them and the fact that Rotom is in its Heat-Form will give another edge, especially against Skarmory who is immune to the Poison-STAB-moves. On the other hand, i do not see many type-based advantages on Terrells side!

Tom, i think i can’t actually add a lot to this! Let’s hope Terrell won’t be shut down too hard by this unfortunate Matchup! Oh- We are not bad with our timing, they are recalling their Pokémon and the referee is counting down to begin the battle!

There we go Mel! The Lead we are seeing is certainly interesting! I’m not sure if Tix meant to send out Toxicroak first, but Skarmory was an expected lead from Terrell!

Well, if Skarmory is trying to set up Entry-Hazards, Toxicroak might become a dangerous opponent, and we have no knowledge of his moveset yet! Oh and Tix is bold and just goes for the Swords Dance! Will they be punished or is Terrell going for the obvious Spikes?

NO Mel, he is not! An offensive Brave Bird Attack immediately OHKO’s Toxicroak that is NOT a good first round for Tix! But if i’m honest i didn’t expect Toxicroak to do much in this matchup anyways! What will we see now?

An interesting move from Tix to say the least! That is Crobat! What do they hope to do against Skarmory with Crobat Tom?

I have no idea Melanie, but what will Skarmory do against Crobat either? NOTHING it would seem! Terrell switches out! That is… Dodrio! Dodrio is coming in! AND WHAT IS THIS? Crobat uses Tailwind, very clever! You see, Terrells Team is very fast while Tix has barely any fast threats! And while we see Dodrio set up a Swords Dance just like Toxicroak, Tix switches again! This time Toxtricity comes in!

Tom, i think the battle is turning quickly! Toxtricity is VERY fast now and those Electric Type Moves will do a LOT of work here!

Yes Mel, i think Terrell just lost his composure! He is Staring in disbelief, his Dodrio just got absolutely DESTROYED by that Toxtricity! That was an Overdrive and Tix just drove over Terrells plans i think!

Tom, please don’t make any more puns today. Anyways, Terrell wouldn’t be a Gym Trainer if that would be the end of the battle already! He sends in his Noivern! Yes, i think that’s the only viable play here since it is not vulnerable to the Overdrive like the others.

MELANIE did you see that? Toxtricity does not care at all! She is just standing there, MENACINGLY! Playing Music, and breaking into a solo to release another Overdrive! And it is simply too much for Noivern, Terrell is in real trouble right now! His Noivern went down so fast!

Tom, it’s not looking good for the Fortree Gym here! Terrell sends out his Fearow, but i’m not sure what his plan is!

Mel, i have to say i think he’s not sure either! Because we are seeing a real quick battle here! Fearow comes out of her ball and immediately drops down as well! Terrell has only three Pokémon left, and all three are not well equipped to deal with Toxtricity!

Yes, yes you are right! His next choice is Swellow it seems! Or is it Taillow? No! No, it is Swellow!

Yes, that is Swellow indeed, but it seems Crobats Tailwind from earlier has subsided and Toxtricity has lost a bit of her speed! At least, ouch my ears! That was a Boomburst from Swellow. I think Toxtricity felt that too, but it is NOT enough to knock her out! instead, that’s it for Swellow, fainting from one more Overdrive!

There it is! That is Taillow now! I think Terrell has accepted that he will be defeated? Maybe? I’m not sure, that Taillow has trouble a few Gym challengers in the past!

Yes Mel, and Terrell has not given up yet it seems! Taillow is quick on the move and that is a very quick move by the little bird! Is that a Brave Bird? Or was it a Façade, i can’t quite tell!

It does not matter Tom, it was not enough to take out Toxtricity, and there goes Taillow! Oh my arc, a sweep to open the Tournament like that!

Don’t say that yet Mel, Terrell still has his Skarmory and he is sending it out right- OH MY ARC MEL! NEVERMIND THAT, THIS OVERDRIVE WAS SO FAST! AND IT KNOCKED SKARMORY CLEAN OUTTA THE SKY! WE HAVE OUR FIRST WINNER!

YES! YES WE DO! IT IS TRAINER TIX FROM UNOVA! WHAT CAN BE SAID TO-

\\Your concerns have been noted!//

[a video file. The camera has a slight sway to it, as if it‘s not being held by a person but instead floating.

The video shows the Koffing-Time café, which is completely empty and dark. It seems to be nighttime, but a flashlight is illuminating enough of the place. The camera pans upwards to show a large ventilator on the ceiling. A Text-To-Speech voice says: „Well, first i have to mention this big and beautiful piece of disappintment over there. Mr. Olivia has forbidden me to posess this ventilator. I bet it would be very funny to spin around in it really fast.“ After a short pause the voice adds: „I actually don‘t know if Olivia wants to be called „Mr.“ but he had a pin saying he/they on their apron today. I think i‘ll just drop the title.“

The camera moves to show a large coffee-machine with a lot of different functions. The voice explains while the view shows the machine from all angles „This is a very weird machine. It FEELS so inviting but i can‘t really posess it. I wil keep trying. It is so beautiful and i want to explore it.“

The shot changes again and the camera moves through a backdoor behind the counter through a dark hallway. The next room is a large pantry with a large oven, almost industrial in size and many many shelves with all kinds of bags, jars and boxes on them. There is also a large metal door. The camera focuses on the oven while the voice speaks up again: „Here we have this wonderful wonderful oven! Just look at the SIZE of this thing! I love it! The place where i was before only had a tiny microwave, very boring very boring. I hope Tix lets me use this sometime. They seemed hesitant so far but i will convince them sooner or later!“ The camera pans towards the metal door and the voice continues: „And here we have an enigma! This feels so strange! It is cold, like a freezer but it is also just a room! And i can feel the electricity calling me, but there is no place to get in! There is also a small fridge in the other room, but it‘s so tiny it‘S not worth showing. I want to know what is up with this one here instead!“

The video continues for a little bit, showing all kinds of electric gadgets and household items like a blender, a flashlight or a TV remote, all being thoroughly judged about how fun they are to posess. A milk frother in particular seems to excite the person speaking a lot.

The camera floats towards the staircase to the upper story but suddenly the shot freezes. The voice is heard once again: „Oops. I forgot i‘m not supposed to show the upstairs. Sorr-“

The video ends abruptly]

\\I've also talked with some TV channels. But they were ALL totally boring.//

\\I'm still processing them, but i will upload the files soon!//

\\In the meantime, i will take over this account and answer any questions you might have as well as provide updates on the situation!//

Alright everybody! The first batch of Muffins is baked, we have Cupcakes with Koffing-Icing and obviously a lot of Poffins. The party can begin!

I've put my speakers outside, so there is music going on. When i have to be in the kitchen, Basil has the last word about the music. Because Cream definitly is going to have her hands full today lol.

Also, i fucking couldn't find any balloon gas, so Coffee helped me blow up them up! So, if they pop, you are hereby warned that you probably shouldn't breathe the gas that was inside. I'm not worried that you're gonna die and it should disperse quickly, but it's probably not healthy to have your lungs filled with his gas. It's gonna smell amazing though. Also big thanks to @pkmn-aide-mel for helping me with the mustaches hehe.

And look at how goofy they are! I'll keep my promise, if you come by, you get too keep one of them. i'm pretty sure i bought enough for eveyone.
