Character: Ryou Bakura | [personal profile] rolltoavoidpossession
Badge/Gym Leader: Morty | Fog Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Hinotama, Haunt, Banshee, Grim
Battle Details: Ryou is so excited to be taking this gym on, despite some difficulty with the darkened gym layout! In fact, he's brought his own all-ghost team to face Morty with, despite knowing he'll have to be mindful of the type disadvantage going both ways.

VS Haunter

Ryou is leading in with Hinotama the Lampent, who will open with Imprison to seal off every move the Haunter shares with Hinotama. This will be followed up by Double Team to make the Lampent harder to hit, followed by Shadow Ball for damage.

Ryou's also given Hinotama a Chesto Berry to hold, just in case the Haunter manages to get a Hypnosis off.

VS Misdreavus

Ryou will keep Hinotama on the field, aware that Imprison will keep working so long as Hinotama stays out. He'll set up with Confuse Ray to get the Misdreavus confused before going for Shadow Ball again.

However, if the Misdreavus uses Perish Song, then Ryou will try to get the Misdreavus down as fast as possible with Shadow Ball, and, if the Perish Song count gets too low, will just switch to Haunt and have her finish up the Misdreavus with Shadow Ball. If the Misdreavus uses Perish Song and then switches out to Gengar to avoid the effect, then Ryou will switch to his own plan for the Gengar.

VS Gengar

Ryou will immediately, regardless of the state of the battle, send in Grim the Greavard to face the Gengar. This seemingly defies logic, since Grim is a mere level six and only knows four moves. He did give her a Chesto Berry just in case of Hypnosis use, but that doesn't overcome the sheer level difference. However, Ryou is unworried and is in fact hoping that the Gengar will try to use a Ghost type attack on the low level Greavard.

See, if a Ghost type attack is used on Grim, it'll simply not work. This is because 'Grim' is actually Banshee, Ryou's Hisuian Zoroark, in disguise as the little Greavard via her Illusion ability. Ryou won't drag this out too long, and will have Banshee just use Shadow Claw to deal with the Gengar.

If the Misdreavus from earlier is still around at this point, then Ryou will have either Hinotama or Haunt (whoever has more health) finish it up with Shadow Ball.

After the battle, Ryou will comment on how cool Morty's team is. He's a fan of weird creepy stuff, what did you expect?
