I used Acerola bc she's frickin adorable
Ok so, in the regular gym battle, I'd only have King, Toxin, Bane, and Sundew, but King is a Nidoran and Toxin is a Grimer.
Ok so basically, the puzzle is that one scene from the Princess Bride where the two guys drink poison at some picnic thingy. There are 3 rooms, and each with a gym trainer inside. There are 2 other people inside of each room, who try to hint to you about which drink is “poisoned” (fun fact: there’s a table with 5 different drinks in each room, 2 are “safe” for you to drink.) If you drink the “poisoned” drink, you have to fight the gym trainer. Here’s the catch, in the spirit of The Princess Bride, all drinks are poisoned. Dw, there’s no real poison involved. It’s just berry juice (you’re told that the safe drink is made from pecha berries, and that the poisoned berries are made from various other berries, notably pinap berries)
Quotes from the first battle
Said before battle: “Guess you found out about the drinks, huh?”
The first time the player lands a super effective hit: “Oooh~ That stings!”
Right before sending out last pokemon: “This is my last chance! Our battle is soon to be dissolved!”
When final pokemon is weak: “Ah! Bane, my friend, hold on!”
After match (won): “Looks like our venom found a way to seep in!”
After match (lost): “You managed to land the killing blow. Good job!”
Quotes from the rematch
Said before battle: “You’re just like an ekans, always coming for more.”
After the player land their first SE: “Ugh, sick.”
Right before sending out last pokemon: “You’re gonna be messing with a very toxic pokemon, here!”
When final pokemon is weak: “Ah, not again! Don’t' worry, we’ll get them!”
After match (won): “You messed with a lethal snake and you got bit!”
After match (lost): “I think we all need to take a good, long rest. .”
And my rematch team would be the one from the card above.
