"YES OUR TEETH AND AMBITIONS ARE BARED! BE PREPARED!"
(Sorta have issue with you dodging a move designed to cover the entire field, but with all the things I've been pointing out, I'll allow it)
"What!?" Yumi covered her mouth instantly once she had blurted out her near outrage with the other pokemon somehow dodging the heatwave, looking at the scorched earth around her fire monkey and wondering how on earth the ambipom had gotten out of there in time. Whatever the case, they had to up their game...clearly a plus 2 heat wave wasn't enough to take this monkey out.
"Veruka, the toxins!"
"Fernape!"
Whether spores or gas, this toxin would adhear to the same flaw as the last, it travelled in the air. Without hestitation, Veruka used the same disposal tactic she had the last time. He plan was less to fry the spores as it was to remove them from the field. With a much more "controlled" version of her heatwave, the air simply began to heat up to an incredible temperature around her, and the purple smog that was supposed to poison her drifted into the sky, likely never to return to the field, leaving a burning monkey with a rather cocky grin. She would have rushed in, used a mach punch right there and have this all be done with, but with the calming of her mind, she began to form a new plan...
So far the monkey was only trying to poison her, which meant too things. It was scared of a full frontal confrontation, and simply wanted to outlast Veruka herself. This also lead to two further assumptions. The ambipom was simply trying to outlast her indefinitely, using it's slightly better speed to continue to dodge her attacks, or, it was preparing to pass on it's stats. Afterall, Yumi was right earlier, it seemed this ambipom had no special attacks. Afterall, if it did, why had it yet to even attempt a long range strike on Veruka?
With a second calming of her mind, Veruka simply remained in the center of her scorched earth, a quiet grin on her face. Now the range of her heatwave would nearly have doubled thanks to her increased special capabilities, and soon, she would likely encompass the entire field. Whatever was getting planned, whatever was coming next, it wouldn't be able to take the heat.~
NOTES
100% ATK 6 SPATK 4 DEF 6 SPDEF 4 SPD 6 Used heatwave to make the air rise, removing the gas toxin Used calm mind x 2 Still in same place.
Sophia couldn't help but sigh as, once again, the challenger's pokemon stopped the toxic spores or gas from taking affect. This battle was lasting far longer than she would have liked and that was something she would have to change, and quick too. But how were they going to get the damned monkey from hell to inhale the toxins, any time Prince tried to do something the opponent heated up the area to remove the toxins.
That was when the idea hit Sophia in the face so hard she wanted to fall down from the force of her mental slap. If they wanted to turn up the heat, fine, let them. She was going to fight fire with... Science. Sophia whistled to catch Prince's attention, a whistle they used when travelling the desert. If either of them found water, they'd whistle to let the other know. And the purple monkey pokemon understood exactly why she'd signal him that. If spores or gasses weren't working, they' try another state of matter; liquid. Dashing forward with his increased speed, Prince blasted toxic liquids towards the fiery monkey. Then, he squirted another blast directly at the opponent's face, a good yard away so Prince was still safe, and dashed backwards hopefully out of harm's way.
If the Infernape tried to heat up the field, the liquid would evaporate into a gas and be absorbed into the monkey's body and if he didn't heat up the area, the liquid would be absorbed via contact. As far as Sophia could tell, her plan was finally falling into place.

"YES OUR TEETH AND AMBITIONS ARE BARED! BE PREPARED!"
Ah finally, the liquid toxins, a smart move, in fact, a pretty damn clever one had Veruka still been in such a rageful state, but with two calm minds? This was practically playing right into the Infernape's own hands. Without even an order from Yumi, Veruka would rush forward, vaulting over the toxins aimed at her face, only to fall into a roll and dodge those aimed at her face, breaking the gap between her and the ambipom. Sure it took two loads of acrobatics, but just because the ambipom was slightly faster than her now meant absolutely nothing if Veruka was stil too hard a target to hit.
With the toxins passed, and a grin on her face, the Infernape ended it's acrobatics right in the face of the ambipom, her hands raised up and the flame on her head burning bright. With the toxins behind her, and nowhere for the ambipom to back away with all the backwards tracking it had been doing, Veruka unleashed the power of her hetwave, pushing it foward, creating a mega wave of obliteration heat.
NOTES
100% stat buffs remain Used 2 x acrobatics to dodge toxins and break distance Used heatwave forward, Got slate's ruling due to my earlier he stated "even a scizzor using 2 x agility would struggle to dodge."
Used Toxic! Used Substitute! (-25%) Hit by Heatwave! (-25%) Substitute broke! Used Toxic!
The Gym Leader was becoming more and more annoyed by the damned dancing monkey. Perhaps this is what her challengers felt when facing Prince? Either way, Sophia needed to do something to deal with the flame coated primate. It was somehow able to continuously dodge or counter the toxic attacks, even the ones that the blonde haired girl could have sworn were mere centimeters from their target. Nevertheless, she would continue. She would prevail. If she could travel the deserts of Orre alone and survive, she could surely outlast some ginger girl.
But could Prince? He barely had time to react, but thanks to his speed which had been maxed out by his earlier moves, he was able to lob a moutful of toxic at the intense flames before he disappeared in a poof of smoke; a pokemon doll taking his place. As the deadly toxins met the flames, it evaporated instantly, filling the entire area before dissipating. The doll, however, suffered a horrible fate. The fire passed through it and left it charred, before it went up in a flash of smoke and Prince appeared, ready for more. The purple monkey dashed to the side out of precaution and launched another blast of toxic waste from his tail at the challenger, just in case it hadn't worked earlier.
Sophia watched with a stern face. She was waiting to see how this would turn out, because if the monkey was able to get out of this, she wasn't really sure what she would do next.

"YES OUR TEETH AND AMBITIONS ARE BARED! BE PREPARED!"
Yumi watched as the blazing heat of her pokemon's attack burned accross the field once more, grinning wide as she watched it envelop the other primate, or so she thought. When the dust cleared, a scorched doll remained, poofing into a cloud of smoke. That damn substitute! So long as that remained, Sophia potentially had two full hits left to take...that is...
Unless Veruka struck before the primate could raise it's defence.
Yumi had to think fast. VERY fast. The battlefield was took in in an instant. Poison gas flowing around, the toxic would get off no matter what now, which in at least one sense was perfect. It meant Veruka had no more reason to pussy fott around the stuff anymore, but it also put them on a timer. While not so good, it was still something they could work with! It gave them even more pressure to fight hard, strike fast, and make sure any hit they landed was one HELL of a punch.
"We need to act fast! Don't let them get even an inch from you Veruka!"
With a cough as the toxins filled her lungs, Veruka gave a confident roar. Even as the Ambipom attempted to flea, unleashing another bout of it's toxic, Veruka followed, using her acrobatics to chase them with haste, taking the toxins to the face without a single worry, landing before the Ambipom. It may have been faster, but only by the smallest of margins. Besides, what good was speed if ya didn't know how to put it to use!
"Now! Mach punch!"
Veruka didn't even roar with confidence, she didn't even think, she just acted. In an instant, her fist flew forward for the ambipom with all the strength she had built, fighting through the early effects of the poison. If her first punch missed, a second would be thrown, using the momentum from the first speedy punch to give chase and launch the second, firing it so hard the very wind became her fist. (just to help you visualise)
NOTES
94%, stats remain the same, cant be bothered copying Got hit by first toxin, powered through the second with acrobatics to give chase. Used mach punch x 2
Hit by Mach Punch! (-55%) Fainted! Sophia forfeits! Basic Badge obtained!
Finally, the toxic attack hit. Which meant this would turn into a waiting game, and those were things Sophia always won at. Yet, the fire monkey wouldn't let the second blast of toxic liquid hit, and danced around the splurge of poison. Prince himself was weaving to and fro, trying to gain distance from the powerful primate. However, he found himself in a stick situation and knew the best possibility would be to switch out. Raising one hand tail into the air, his pokeball began to glow and the beam of red light shot out, enveloping. However, it wasn't quick enough. The challenger's pokemon had dashed forward and landed a nasty punch on the purple monkey, but there was no way he could retaliate already inside his capture device. Checking the pokeball, Sophia's fears came true and she realized Prince had feinted.
Her hand hovered over a pokeball, ready to continue the fight, but she stopped. Sophia had gotten news earlier in the day that she was being transferred to some new region called "Nue" and wasn't taking the news so well. Hell, she had even considered retiring altogether, but told herself she'd take on this challenger and... Well...
Smiling, Sophia held her hand up to signal the stop of the battle. "Well done, challenger. You truly have proved that flames of passion have forged you and your pokemon's love into a mighty weapon. I present to you the Basic Badge." The Gym Leader said, pressing a button on her bracelet that caused the gym floor to open up, a marble pedestal similar to the one from earlier rising from the ground with the badge laid on top of it. Sophia left the gym as the platform rose, leaving an open door for the challenger to exit from.
