Big Top

**Big Top** is a large tent in the Agate Circus and the Gym for the Agate Triumvirate, a trio of Gym Leaders consisting of Samson, Terra, and Ciel.

## Telecommunicator

The telecommunicators for Samson, Terra and Ciel are located in the backstage of the Circus. Although you do not battle Terra in the Circus, her telecommunicator is still located there.

You made it to the Agate Circus? Sounds like it's a mess up there... As you know, Agate Circus services three separate leaders. So Samson is first?
All right. He's fresh into the ring as far as leaders go, so I can't say too much... but I'll tell you what I know about the Big Top Arena. There's actually two main parts to it-- the first is probably Samson's play, the High Striker. The entire ground is made of panels that trigger it. They were originally set up for Terra, as any attack that hits the floor hard will activate it. But since fighting moves take strong power stances, they end up triggering the panels too. See if you can get a bonus from it as well!
Alternative, you might use Ciel's type advantage part of the field against him. Some flying types like Acrobatics and Bounce can make an extra splash around the Big Top with Ciel's aerial scaffolding. A few of those, and Samson should go down in no time!
Good luck!

Glad you picked up. I heard from Cal about what's going on. I never would have thought Terra of all people would be a Meteor... I mean, I never liked her anyway, so whatever. But goodness...
Anyway, I patched into her computer after I heard there was something up with it, and I can see it reporting her presence. ...I'm not going to question how she managed to enter a computer world at all; that girl already defies logic. I'm running an analysis now-- hold on, and I'll tell you what to expect.
The results are... strange. It looks like the computer environment is set up to simulate an old video game. In this game, attacks are physical or special based on what type they are. Plus, the Special Attack and Special Defense stats are treated as a single value-- it looks like it works off of which ever stat is higher.
Finally, the Dark, Steel and Fairy types seem to have been erased. This all sounds familiar, right? Keep these things in mind when you're in there. I know you can do what's necessary.
Good luck!

So you need to fight Ciel? Right. This won't be the first time you've fought on this field, so try to keep in mind everything you used before against Samson.
Unlike Samson's all-out offensive, Ciel plays more defensively. Many of her Pokemon have bulky set-ups, so they can be hard to power down. But Ciel is a performer at heart, and it shows in her battles, as she prefers to use dancing and sound-based moves. And being in this arena, it's the perfect place for those things to get her going.
If you can set up and knock her down before she even gets in the air, you should do well! But if she gets her act in the air, it's gonna be a long way down for you.
Good luck!
