Belle can be a bit of a difficulty spike if you aren't prepared. Firstly, you battle her not long after the 3rd gym and her team is already 4 levels higher on average than Nina's pokemon. Then, there's the fact she has a stacked team really early in the game, having 5 pokemon, all of them at least competent, and one of them is a Mega Evolution. Speaking of, let's talk about that Mega Evolution; Mega Audino. It's incredibly bulky, gains the fairy type so fighting type won't be as effective, and if you thought infatuation was annoying during the first gym it comes back with a vengeance here since it knows Attract. If you need help with Audino, I'd bring the hardest hitting moves you have on a *male* pokemon, one that isn't weak to Fairy since Charming Cry, while weak in base power, HURTS when coming from a mega.

The reason some of the video lacks sound effects is because there's planned OST for Pokemon Gaia's v4 release (whenever this will be, it seems to be in developmental limbo last time I checked) and I wanted to see how some of the songs would be like played as they're meant to in this version. Please support the creator of the rom hack, Spherical Ice, as the rom hack and OST belong to him. (And if you're reading this, Spherical, and you want the videos removed due to the usage of the unreleased OST, let me know and I'll remove the video).
Successor Belle actually doesn't have a battle theme on the OST that's been released on youtube. Of the battle themes I have to work with, the gym leader theme fits the best, but do note it may not use this theme if/when v4 gets released.
