[OOC: I apologize for the lack of detail in this Gym challenge write-up when compared to the previous week's entries. I've come down with a pretty nasty fever and it's made it a lot harder to focus or get things done. I hope that, against Gyms of a relatively weak grade, I have provided sufficient detail, but also knew that my previous write-ups were done in a specific style so I didn't want there to be any narrative inconsistency. Apologies for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding.]
Character: Joey Wheeler | infernofireblast Badge/Gym Leader: Boulder/Brock Elite/Regular: Regular Team:"Charizard - LV100", "Dragonite - LV100", "Bisharp - LV100" , "Ceruledge - LV100", "Feraligatr - LV100", "Wailord - LV100" Battle Details: Against Brock's team of Rock-Types Joey would have a fairly straightforward go of things. With an utterly stupendous level gap between him and his opponent it means that any differentials in power would be magnified even more so he would open with his Wailord, Fortress Whale. Joey's Wailord is very much a one-trick pony thanks to its held item of "Choice Specs" so whichever move he opens with he's subsequently pigeonholed into using for the rest of the match. This isn't an issue against Brock, however, because the move Wailord intends to spam would be Water Spout. Water Spout, in addition to being powered-up via the bonus of stab Water Spout deals damage based on the user's health (of which Wailord has a tremendous pool). Furthermore, the Choice Specs would increase the damage of the move by x1.5 and then the typing advantage would render it super-effective. This should mean that, despite the best efforts of Brock's stalwart team, Fortress Whale should be able to effectively sweep without too much effort. Should his health drop low or the opponent get off some lucky hits, though, Joey would be standing-by with items such as Hyper Potions and Full Restores to get his buddy's health and damage output back on-track.
Should Joey's Wailord somehow be knocked-out by his opposition he would follow-up with his Feraligatr, Alligator's Sword. Alligator's Sword has all the typing and level advantages that Fortress Whale possessed but is a far-stronger Pokemon overall, something that the grisly combination of his held item and hidden ability only amplify. Starting off with a Dragon Dance before immediately beginning a barrage of Aqua Tail would spell a rapid end to Brock's Team, as the Stab bonus and permanent x1.69 multiplier that his Life Orb/Sheer Force combination put out would be more than enough to put them in the ground before including the super effectiveness. Should a lucky critical or just plain attrition bring his health low Joey would be standing by with restoration items to bring him back to full-strength but, in all likelihood, Alligator Sword would simply be overkill.
Should the unthinkable happen and both Joey's fighters go down there would still be a full team of LV100 Brawlers at their back. Though water and grass are the instant killquick for rock plenty of perfectly damaging and lethal moves sit in each and every one of their arsenals, with some of them possessing power or combinations that would make it possible for any of them to simply sweep the opposing team. One way or the other, Joey would be ready for a fight.

With Choice Specs increasing the attack power of the already super-effective move and Wailord's own Water-Typing reducing the majority of damage Misty would send his way the blimpy tank was in an ideal position to bring the pain. Should Fortress Whale's health be chipped-down Joey would make use of items such as Hyper Potions and Full Restores to bring him back up-to-strength, but the overwhelming power gap between the teams should make for a fairly one-sided encounter.
In the event that Fortress Whale was defeated Joey would send out his Dragonite, Baby Dragon. Though Lapras' Ice-Type moves pose a threat to his Pokemon through their strength against Flying-Types the sheer power that Dragonite would be putting-out by comparison should make any showdown they might have short and sweet. Leading with a Dragon Dance before unleashing a barrage of Thunder Punches would see a blistering amount of damage being sent downrange at the opposing team, and the added chance of becoming paralyzed from every hit would only make the already dicey situation Misty was facing even more untenable. Should Type-Advantaged moves or attrition bring Joey's Baby Dragon low he would be quick to dispense restoration items to his Pokepal, bringing him back to full-strength and meaning the thunderous barrage would begin anew.
Should Misty somehow succeed in downing Joey's two titanic offerings to the battle there would still be 4 more fully-leveled Pokemon waiting in reserve. Joey's Feraligatr alone would likely be capable of taking on the entire opposing team, so having the damage output that all four could bring to bear would mean any chance of victory Misty might have would be somewhere between slim and nil.
