ROUND 1
Varnock vs. Dominique
BATTLE COMMENCE

[varnock]

It was finally time. The day of the Battle Frontier Tournament had come and so had the day of his betrayal. Every Nox that flocked here from the knowledge spread by Saturn and the other spies and collectors of Sinnoh would be dropped into a trap that he had helped orchestrate. He wasn't sure if he should be disgusted with himself or proud that he was helping to end the war. At least this way there wouldn't be a problem in Sinnoh proper. Nox would be busier with Johto if they managed to win anyways. Or he hoped as much at least. Wouldn't that just be the icing on the cake? Nox wins then rampages through Sinnoh even with his best efforts to stop them here.

He could hear the cheering of the crowds as his battle was announced. It was time. He wasn't exactly fond of the idea of rental pokemon, but he had gotten a good set for sure. He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall nearby. He was due out there in about a minute. Least it would feel better than this waiting room.

He adjusted his clothing as best he could and mentally ran through his roster and the rules on last time. He knew what he wanted to happen, but there was no guarantee it would go the way he wished. Still there was nothing left to do now but get out there and kick things off.

He strode out into the blinding sunlight to the cheers of the crowd and raised a hand to wave. They didn't know him, well most of them probably didn't, but they all appreciated a good battle and were excited to see one unfold. He ended his stride at the right side of the field and gave a nod of acknowledgement to his opponent before starting things off. It was about to get a bit windy in here.

"Go, Gigalith! Give us some cover with a Sandstorm! Once you're hidden by the sands ready yourself with an Iron Defense! I don't want you dropping before your time after all!"
The Gigalith emerged with a rocky roar and a flash of light. It took it only moments to begin to churn the ground around itself into sand that was sent flying around the field in a pelting storm that would harm any pokemon of a fairer type.

As soon as the sands were raging and providing enough cover Gigalith hunkered down as an metallic sheen flashed momentarily over its body to reinforce it against attacks. Now it was only a matter of waiting for their opponent and getting the battle proper moving.
