Elite Four #2; Slate Aspen

[BellaMae]

Elite Four #2 is Slate Aspen.


Sceptile:

► Nickname: None
► Species: Sceptile
► Level: 66
► Type: Grass
► Ability: Overgrowth
► Gender: Male
► Personality: Slate's first Pokemon, and as such his longest partner. Having spent over eleven years together, Sceptile is often capable of guessing what Slate will do before the trainer himself even knows, and they both trust each other implicitely. Sceptile is a mix of contradictions - at times he is a workaholic, endlessly sparring with Scyther (who is the only one fast enough to have a prayer of keeping up), while at other times simply lazing entire days away in the sun. Like Slate, Sceptile cannot stand cold weather, and will often prefer to remain inside his pokeball if they must endure it. He is also highly intelligent, perceptive and experienced, often able to tell how the opponent will move, attack or defend based on the slightest movements and able to analyze the enemy's tactics to the point where he can accurately guess what their next move will be. While completely capable of them, Sceptile looks upon special and energy based attacks with disdain, preferring the fight to up close and personal so as to use his astonishing speed, agility and general physical prowess to its upmost potential. With his adrenaline pumping during a fight, he can move quickly enough to actually appear to flicker across the battle field, although he is only capable of this when pushed to his absolute limits.
► Moves: Leaf Blade, Dragon Claw, Thunder Punch, Leech Seed.

Metagross:

► Nickname: None
► Species: Metagross
► Level: 65
► Type: Steel/Psychic
► Ability: Clear Body
► Gender: Genderless
► Personality: The first pokemon Slate actually caught. Metagross is by far Slate's most intelligent pokemon, although whether this is a result of what it actually is or innate, individual intelligence is anyone's guess. Like Sceptile, Slate and Metagross have the upmost trust in each other. Metagross is also an enigma compared to Slate's other pokemon, the trainer himself often finding it impossible to read Metagross. Unlike Sceptile, Metagross appears to be more of a pragmatist, doing whatever seems necessary to win and having no actual favorite strategy or tactic, molding his fighting style to suit the opponent. Aside from being able to use his monstrous weight, strength, durability and speed to great effect in battle, he has also demonstrated considerable telekinetic abilities.
► Moves: Meteor Mash, Psychic, Earthquake, Zen Headbutt.

Heracross:

► Nickname: None
► Species: Heracross
► Level: 64
► Type: Bug/Fighting
► Ability: Swarm, Guts
► Gender: Male
► Personality: An enigma that rivals that of Metagross, Slate has almost as much difficulty reading Heracross as he does the Iron Leg pokemon. While, unlike Shelgon, he is capable of considerably varied body movement his actions seldom mirror what he intends or is thinking. More often than not he will completely disappear off into wooded or otherwise secluded areas when Slate releases his pokemon from their pokeballs for breaks, seemingly returning almost always right before Slate intends to go looking for him. He also doesn't seem to have any particular fighting style either, his erratic and highly unpredictable movements on the battlefield matching his personality.
► Moves: Brick Break, Megahorn, Stone Edge, Aerial Ace.

Scyther:

► Nickname: None
► Species: Scyther
► Level: 63
► Type: Bug/Flying
► Ability(ies): Swarm, Technician
► Gender: Male
► Personality: Despite being one of Slate's newest pokemon, relatively speaking, it was the one that Sceptile bonded with the fastest. The two of them act almost like siblings, sharing the same habit of overworking themselves one moment only to laze the next day away, as well as their fighting styles. While not nearly as mobile as Sceptile on the ground, Scyther more than makes up for it with his ability to fly, and the two work in near perfect unison as a team. Scyther Also shares his dislike of energy based attacks, although in this case it is more out of considering them a nuisance since he can perform none himself.
► Moves: Slash, X-Scissor, Double Team, Night Slash.
