Carvahana Springs OC

Sparky nodded and grabbed the rope.  She began to use her strength to pull herself up, but she wasn't as fast as she normally would be due to the other challenges taking their toll on her.  She was relying on her adrenaline to keep her going as she powered her way through and looked forward to getting a good sleep after all these challenges were over.  She quickly scaled the rope and reached the top, just as the buzzer sounded for the five second mark.

Z nodded and sparky jumped down.  Volt helped the fire pokemon to walk as they headed to the inn to rest up for the gym battle that would take place the next day.  They were all pumped up for the battle, even though sparky would be doing all the fighting.  Z gave sparky some berry juice that would help her regain some strength so she would be ready to fight the next day, but she would need a long nap before she would be ready to fight.  All the challenges took their toll on her after all.

"Ah! You made it. Safe travels I hope?" Prasha came into the stadium and headed toward his challenger. "I see you have selected Breloom. In your letter you said you wanted a double battle, am I correct?" Prasha approached Eira and bowed. "Welcome to my home, my masterpiece, and my little slice of heaven. A trainer's paradise." 

Prasha sat down on the bench and but his leg up. Sophia popped out of the side an waltzed over. She curtsied and telepathically linked to Eira *Hello mistress Eira. Welcome to the Carvahana Springs Dojo. During the course of the first stage and throughout the battles, we have given trainers the opportunity for refreshments. Please hail me or I may simply read your thoughts about your desires.*  

Sophia curtsied again and went to check on the preparations for water Pokemon. "I understand your concern, however Sophia is not allowed to access your thoughts during battle. She is very sweet and will understand if you do not desire such contact." Prasha assured. 

"Now because we must flood the course for Shimmer, he will go first in the stage. If you would be so kind as to step up into my viewing box and we can get underway." Prasha turned away and headed for his booth. "These Pokemon are good choices for battle. Let us see if they have the agility to complete this course."  

"Madam I own this water. It is of no concern. I have pumps that pump in water then pump it back out into the lake. The only waste that comes from these are the small puddles that soak into the ground and make way for the pool." Prasha smiled and pulled the lever. Water rushed into the stadium and began flooding it. Prasha flipped a few switches and the viewing station closed and oxygen began pumping through the room. "The whole complex is run off of this. Its a new thing called hydroelectricity. The pumping of the water through the course allows every thing in the Inn, Dojo, and Pokecenter here to run without waste." 

The whole Stadium was filled to the brim. Prasha flipped another switch and the roof closed making it pitch black. Prasha then flipped another 5 switches and all of the stadium was light up making the water completely see through. "There now release Shimmer through the airlock here and we will get started." 

"Yes The first Test. Shimmer you must fight against the current in a 200 yard swim. Ready in 3....2....1......" A horn sounded which could be heard under water marking the start. Shimmer had exactly 1 minute to do this course in then it would receive a 2 minute rest to regain its strength before heading onto the next stage. "Good Luck!!!" Prasha sat back and watched the Starmie attacking the course. Prasha was ready to defend his badge yet again. He had the perfect team ready to push both Bullet and Shimmer to the best of their abilities. It all came down to exact will power.
