The moment of truth-- well, for now. Lena still had eight gyms on her mind, but her first mission was about to come to a close upon the result of this gym battle. Then again, she had never done anything but succeed in her past gym experience. Why would now be any different? Wake had low levels, and Lena had Toad to back her up should the toddlers fuck anything up on the field. Infant would be at a serious disadvantage, but she had succeeded in worst cases.
Or had she?
Regardless. Lena walks into the gym with the same confidence she always carries, only stopping briefly to admire Wake's impressive set up. The giant waterfall that cascades down the middle mists her as she works hard to get to the top, to get to him. She hears his laughter from above, grimaces as the water pressure is turned up, threatening to knock her back to the beginning. Lena is doing this the classic way, the way he enforces. She's soaked to the bone as she climbs over wet rocks, ducks behind the waterfall for breath. It's just as much of a mental battle as it is physical and, by the top, she's about ready to skin the gym leader for making her do that complete and utter bullshit.
Huffing and catching her breath, Lena wipes the hair out of her eyes and releases Infant. Wake roars with laughter, loosing his Gyarados. Lena only smiles, a low pitched whistle escaping her lips-- a trick learned from her favorite spy. The dino, minuscule compared to the behemoth Gyarados, puts a scary face on and roars, summoning thunder that strikes down on the dragon pokemon through the shattering glass of the gym. Wake is horrified- destruction of property, and a thunder-using fossil? Lena doesn't give a shit. Murder is in her eyes as the fossil attacks, taking the dragon rage that spawns from the Gyarados' anger without flinching. The rock-type only uses its closeness to strike it once more, and the dragon falls. The ground shakes under its weight, Cranidos screaming with its triumph.
Wake is forced to release his strongest pokemon, even if it is just a level 30 buizel. Lena holds back her scoff- she, of all the people, should know better to refrain from being cocky at a time like this. Though she proves to be right three moves later. The waterfall still shakes from the earthquake, and the ground is still scorched from the thunder. Infant radiates power- his skin begins to glow- he's entering evolution. "Hold!" The same command. The distraction snaps him out of it-- he looks at her with curiosity, head cocked. "Not here. Not yet. Control yourself, little boy." Her voice is stern, eyes narrow and hard. He has no choice but to obey as she recalls him. Too risky now; he needs to calm down.
Her intended gift takes Infant's place, the Spheal loaded and ready to go against Wake's Quagsire. The little seal starts with a toxic attack, the poison easily seeping into the mushy pokemon's skin, tinting it purple. The sickness spreads like wildfire through their battle; the slam is lighter, the mud bomb is smaller, and spheal's aurora beam and brine are at their full power. the toxic is the ultimate demise of the quagsire and, just like that, the battle is over. Lena collects her winnings in stride, a cooler head accompanying her.
She's done it.
