Short visit to Santalune!

Edward nodded. "Good. I'm glad to hear you say that. Cause I know you can do it." he said with a smile.

[So how are we gonna do this? Have another mod play the Gym Leader?]

(Yeah.  I'll PM someone.)

Megan smiled at Edward's statement before asking: "Wanna take the gym leader on first or second?"

"Well first, duh! Haha. It's what we came here for, right?" he said with a laugh.

[By the way, would you like to take over modding for a Topic of mine until Sax is able to return?]

(I'll try.)

Megan grinned and laughed herself. "True." she said, her grin still present as shr spoke to Ed.

[So who's gonna mod us?]

(I had sent a PM to Ava, but haven't gotten a reply yet.)

[Would you like me to send you a link to me other RP in the meantime?]

(Yes, please.)

A Vivillion fluttered out from somewhere inside the gym, and behind it came Viola, crying out in distress to stop. "Oh! Visitors! We have visitors, Vivillion, behave." The butterfly like pokemon fluttered over apologetically as both of them bowed to greet the people. "Hello. I am Viola, the gym leader of Santalune town. How may I help you?"

"Hi." said Edward. "We would both like to do Gym battles here...wait, can we do them at the same time, like a double battle?"

"I, er. Perhaps. In fact, why not? Sure, come on in!~" Viola said cheerily as she moved aside to allow the people to come in. Inside, a large empty space could be seen with a pokeball sign in the middle. This was the battle arena.

Megan glanced Edward's way and smiled. That was a good idea; asking if they could both battke Viola! It'd make things rather interesting. Uncliping Cyndaquil's pokeball from her belt she got ready for the battle. 

Ok, so maybe picking Cyndaquil wasn't the best option, especially since he didn't know anyrhing like Ember yet and was moody, she'd at least try and get him some experience!

"Alright, Surskit, Vivillion! Get out there!" Viola called enthusiastically, throwing a pokeball onto the field. Surskit burst out of it and Vivillion fluttered on beside it. "Challengers first~" She said with a sweep of her arm and a bow.

Edward let Chopper out first. "Okay Chopper, use Fury Swipes on Surskit!" he said. The Teddiursa ran over to the surskit, flailing it's claws at the Pokémon.

The Pond Skater pokemon neatly skimmed out of the way before shooting several Bubbles towards the Teddiursa. The Vivillion, deceptively fast, glided over in one swift motion from behind and attempted to use Infestation upon the Teddiursa.

Chopper was unexpectedly hit by the Bubbles, then the infestation attack hit him. "What's that move do?" Edward asked Megan. He was waiting to see what she would do.

"Cyndaquil, tackle on Vivillion!" Megan ordered before turning to Edward, saying; "Infestation is a move where the user summons a swarm of bugs to attack their foe." she explained before frowning as Cydaquil used Smokescreen instead of Tackle.

"And you know the best part? It inflicts damage several times, once every turn." Viola chipped in, a bit smug. The Vivillon was Tackled to the ground, but she wasn't worried, or concerned even. Vivillon was strong, she could handle it. "Infestation on the Cyndaquil too!" It already did set amounts of damage, 1/8th of the opponents health each time.

Vivillon quickly fluttered right back up and summoned bugs to haunt the Cyndaquil. And at the same time Surskit skated over to release Bubbles on the fire type foe.

Both attacks hit. It angered and weakened the fire type as his flames flared out of his back. He then used Smoke screen to cover the field and  to make himself difficult for his foes to see before making a half circle around his target and attempting to tackle Sunkit as hard as his little body could.

Megan sighed. Couldn't have waited until she gave out orders? Although it was a good strategy it was also somewhat reckless. But, this was only her first step to hern his trust, and she wasn't going to,give up intil he trusted her.

The Vivillon quickly fluttered it's wings hard, blowing away the smoke to some extent. More specifically, towards the opponent's side, the thick fog now hanging heavy over the trainers and their pokemon. Surskit released another Bubble at the Cyndaquil before being Tackled, and the light Skater pokemon was hurled afar. Vivillon swooped in with a Tackle towards the Cyndaquil, trying to take it out first. It'd be bad if it knew any Fire attacks.

"Cynda!" Cyndaquil cried as he was weakened more by both attacks. He wouldn't last much longer if he kept going, it was causing Megan to worry as she uncliped Cyndaquil's pokeball from her belt and returned him, but once the red beam connected with Cyndaquil, it suddenly broke as if it were glass and disintegraded.

A look of confusion crossed Megan's face before she looked towards Viola to explain, green eyes narrowed in irritation.

(You can't switch out a pokemon which is affected by Infestation, until it subsides.)

(Edited.)

"Ah, sorry, didn't you know? Infestation traps the opponent. You can't switch out that precious Cyndaquil of yours until the attack ends." Viola informed, appearing to be slightly apologetic and smug at the same time. "Oh, I can't miss out a snap of this battle!" She said, raising her camera, and taking a quick photo of the event.

Vivillon swooped in with another Tackle as Surskit tag-teamed up and used a second Bubble.

Chopper was still getting hit, but that didn't stop him. It charged fourth with another Fury Swipes on Surskit.
