"frog!"
java had barely dodged the first strike. but the second had struck full force. the water-type buckled underneath the strike, his eyes wide and dilated as he struggled to recover. andrea looked on, her brows furrowed as she realized that her water-type wouldn't last much longer. but while he was still conscious, the girl intended to keep fighting.
"f-frog..."
resting on his belly now, the water-type croaked weakly. the frustration was obvious in the male's face. because he couldn't get back up.
"frooo."
a small keening noise escaped him, one of despair as he realized that he was still infuriatingly weak. andrea appeared to be positively bewildered before she gestured to sylvester.
"yo, stop fer a minute."
hurrying to her pokemon's side, she placed a gentle hand upon his lithe form. taking note of the tears beginning to form, andrea released a small curse.
"yo, it's okay, bud. yer doin' yer best."
she offered his back a small and reassuring rub.

Watching Andrea rush to her pokemon's aid, Sylvester felt a tinge of guilt weighing down on his shoulders. Even though she was the one that had asked for the battle, it still made him feel bad to hurt her pokemon like such. "Let me know if and when Java is ready to keep going." Simply taking a seat, as he had not moved very far from the bench they had been sitting on moments prior, Marley instead took a different course of action. "Syl...Sylveon?"
Marley had waltzed over to Andrea and the Frogadier, wondering just how badly it was hurt. Laying down next to it, Marley began to nudge the pokemon softly with his furry muzzle. He seemed to show a generous amount of sympathy towards Andrea's pokemon, causing Sylvester to smile.
Well, at least one of my pokemon was taught well...'
Pixilate - Lv.18 - Mildly Injured Marley is on Standby!
the pokemon remained still despite the affectionate gesture as his coordinator granted him the appropriate amount of time to recover. but it was the sylveon that had allowed the water-type to regain his focus slowly. as he was nudged, java cast the creature a withering glare - at first.
"fro - ... frog?"
the pokemon peered up at the beautiful fairy-type, those eyes twinkling with kindness and his pink and creamy fur positively grand. java had never encountered a pokemon whose features were so... stunning.
"frog."
the pokemon bowed his head, his narrow face growing notably pink as he averted his gaze. java looked to andrea, before croaking. his mistress merely nodded, failing to take notice to the frog's anxious state before standing.
"alright. we're ready."
java could only muster up enough strength prop up his upper half.
"ya might not be able ta win. but ya may be able ta give the others an advantage. go all out, boy!"
once everyone was prepped to continue, andrea called out to her starter.
"ice beam! double dose!"
after releasing a noise of discomfort, the pokemon obeyed, allowing for the chilled energy to flow.

Once Andrea and Java were ready to continue, Sylvester took a stand a stepped forward, his Sylveon moving back to put some space between them. Letting her have the first move, it seemed she was going all out once more. 'Good...keep it coming.'
"Marley, dodge the first ice beam." Leaping to the side, the first attack flew past the coat of pink and white. However in the next moment, Marley was struck by the second ice beam. "Sylvee!" The pokemon winced, though was fortunate enough to escape the deep freeze. 'Phew...that was close.'
"Marley, uses another set of dazzling gleam." With a series of two more vibrant flashes, the Sylveon sought to end this part of the battle quickly.
Pixilate - Lv.18 - Badly Injured Marley dodged Ice Beam! (1/2 Dodges used) Marley is hit by Ice Beam! (Not Frozen) Marley uses Dazzling Gleam! Marley uses Dazzling Gleam!
the water-type faced the dazzling gem with obvious bravado, having managed the task of regaining his confidence. he tumbled backward and lay still, his eyes wide and dazed in response to being struck by the extraordinary attack. andrea managed a small smile, satisfied that her pokemon had remained confident enough to continue onward despite the odds.
"alright! return!"
the girl recalled the now unconscious starter, and, somewhat hesitantly, ushered her absol into the field. she had noticed that sylvester's pokemon was injured - heavily so - and decided to take a chance.
"this won't be easy!" she warned.
"absol!"
the young pokemon's dug into the earth.
"but ya can give it a try!"
"ab!"
"try burnin' 'em up with a fire blast!"
beerus took a breath, wanting nothing more than to satisfy his mistress and prove that, despite how powerful his foe might be, that he was willing to fight.
"absol!"
he breathed out the bright flames, the fire-affiliated strike taking shape before being thrust toward the fairy.
"again!"
"ab!"
he tried again, eyes squeezing shut as the dark-type tried to muster up just enough strength to knock the remainder of the injured fairy's health down.

While he was confident that Marley could keep going strong, it was obvious his first pokemon was already injured. After dodging the first eruption of fire only barely with a slight limp, the second caught Marley head on and sent him tumbling back. Even Sylvester knew that it was too much, confirming the knockout after moving to Marley's side. "You'll regret that." He said loud enough for them to hear.
Returning his Sylveon, Sylvester grabbed the next pokeball from his lineup. He gazed towards the ball as if peering into it's depths, and then turned his gaze to Andrea with another smirk. "Flint, let's go." Releasing the confines of his pokeball, an orange and yellow bird came out kicking into the air and screaming furiously. "Double-kick...twice."
Flint made a cartwheel motion towards the Absol, performing a butterfly kick and then following it with a simple double-tap of his feet. The motions were fluent and swift, difficult for even Sylvester to read.
Pixilate - Lv.21 - K.O. Marley dodged Fire Blast! (2/2 dodged used) Marley is hit by Fire Blast! (Critical Hit) Marley has fainted! (Gained 1 level)
andrea and beerus had a brief window of time to celebrate their victory. both appearing startled by the sight of the powerful fighter, with the absol retreating a step as his eyes widened considerably.
"a - "
"oh - "
" - sol!
" - shit!"
the girl grimaced as her pokemon released a series of grunts and pained growls. the clawed foot fell and battered his form. head, body, and legs were struck. the force behind each caused the absol to black out before his body crumpled. andrea rubbed at her brow, peering down at the now unconscious pokemon that rested at her feet.
"daaaammmn. ya got knocked the fuck out, boy."
"absooool," he sighed.
"c'mon back."
andrea returned the pokemon into his capsule, a small smile forming as she felt amusement tickle at her.
"guess i'm down ta my last."
the girl brought out tanya next. it was a predictable yet solid choice. after allowing for the pokemon to wield her ability, which would lower flint's attack, the coordinator cackled.
"baby-doll eyes!"
the pokemon's features grew lax, eyes sparkling as she flashed the male a cute look.
"again!"
tanya continued the action, intending to soften the blows that the pokemon could inflict. the feline even added a small wiggle of her hips, turning slightly and purring. she batted at the air and coaxed him into a state of relaxation.

This pokemon of Andrea's sure knew how to put on a show. Once Absol was returned back to it's pokeball, the Luxio he had seen moments prior came out strutting it's goods. Flint seemed to be awed by it, though began to attack once Sylvester called out.
"Flint, snap out of it! Use scratch twice!" Racing towards the target, he gave two furious swipes towards the Luxio. Though, even Sylvester knew it couldn't be very effective. His own pokemon knew that move, and it would likely prove a great strategy for drawing this battle out in Andrea's favor. 'So she isn't just a brute, after all...'
Blaze - Lv.20 - Healthy Flint's attack is lowered by Baby-Doll Eyes! Flint's attack is lowered by Baby-Doll Eyes! Flint uses Scratch! Flint uses Scratch!
once she had accepted the strikes with a slight grimace forming upon her features, the creature snarled. taking advantage of their close proximity, the luxio brought about a spark. the attack sliced through the air and toward the combusken at an alarming speed.
"good idea, girl! light him up!"
the electric-type grinned, her look positively wicked as she bounced on her paws. the feline's maneuvers maintained an air of grace as she circled the fighting-type, intending to confuse the creature somewhat.
"ha!"
andrea laughed, amused by the show tanya put on.
"do it!"
"lux!"
the pokemon grew alight with electric energy that caused the surrounding airs to crackle as she launched yet another miniature bolt toward sylvester's pokemon.

After Flint landed his mark, Sylvester and his pokemon realized just how weak he apparently was in the face of a worthy opponent. Formidable was Andrea's Luxio, and because of this Sylvester knew he had to do more than fight with brute force. 'Alright then...time for some good ole strategy.'
"Flint, use growl!" After the bird was struck by the second shock, he quickly turned towards the Luxio and snarled. Furious he was, and his eyes peeled in fervent distaste for this electric pokemon. "Again!" Once more, Flint gave a bold grunt towards his foe. Whether the opposing pokemon and her trainer knew it, Sylvester's Combusken was making them more susceptible to being attacked. However, Sylvester knew that Flint may very well faint before he could land a finishing blow. 'I guess I will just have to use another pokemon.'
Blaze - Lv.20 - Injured Flint is hurt by Spark! Flint is hurt by Spark! (Critical Hit) Flint uses Growl! Flint uses Growl!
tanya's ears twitched, the feline pausing for a brief period of time as she was forced to listen to the calls that distorted the surrounding airs.
"ah, i get what yer tryin' ta do."
the luxio regained her focus as andrea snapped her fingers, lips curled as she crept toward the fighting-type.
"pity that shit only works fer physical attacks."
of course, she failed to realize that sylvester's following pokemon might have something up its sleeve strategy-wise.
"luxio," tanya purred.
the coordinator's eyebrows rose, observing as her pokemon postured herself in a predatory way. she boldly moved to circle the fire-type, her eyes wide as she remained alert and eager for battle.
"spark!"
the luxio executed the simple yet effective move.
"another!"
she completed another, intending to bring this battle to an end.

Sylvester watched closely as the battle came to an abrupt end, his Combusken meeting an undesirable fate at the hands of Andrea's Luxio. "Alright, you won that round." He had no intentions of holding back.
Because his two other pokemon were weak against electric types, Sylvester had to go with his Honedge. Returning Flint to his pokeball, the ghost sword soon took his place on the battlefield. "Alright Kseniya, open up with a shadow claw!" The Honedge immediately heeded the advice and unsheathed itself, the blade closing in on the Luxio with a purple hue emanating from it's sharp edge. "One more!" Though he wasn't sure how effective it would be against her pokemon, Sylvester felt assured that it would at least be able to withstand her Luxio's attacks. 'What'll you do...?'
Blaze - Lv.21 - K.O. Flint is hurt by Spark! Flint is hurt by Spark! Flint has fainted (Gains 1 level)
the feline stumbled backwards, a grimace on her face as the sentient sword lashed out. the force behind each strike were surprisingly powerful, and the luxio felt as though she was more evenly matched. the feline's tongue flicked out, a curious look entering her gaze as she moved about. it was obvious she was worn down at this period of time. there was a slight limp to her step, and, occasionally, her facial features appeared strained.
"lux."
"alright. try yer best, girl!"
"lux! luxio!"
"gimmie a spark!"
the electric-type released the attack with a grunt, aiming toward the steel-type.
"try it again!"
tanya shut her eyes tightly, managing to gather enough strength to unleash yet another assault.
"that's my girl," andrea drawled, pleased.

Observing his pokemon as the Luxio of Andrea's took action for it's next attacked, he hoped to whatever divine entities there were that he would come out victorious. Their last battle had resulted in a loss for Sylvester, and this time around he was hoping to not onl redeem his pokemon in the eyes of Andrea Warren—but himself as well. Her pokemon's attacks hit hard, but Sylvester knew that Kseniya could hit harder. "Alright, use another Shadow Claw!" Shaking off the damage, the ghost sword chased down the electric type once more, the same purple aura glistening along it's edge.
"Again!" His tongue could practically taste victory already, what with the way Andrea's pokemon appeared to be struggling when firing it's latest attack. A smirk smeared across his face, watching closely as the final, most critical moments of their battle came to pass. 'Come on, you can do it...'
No Guard - Lv.16 - Injured Kseniya is hurt by Spark! Kseniya is hurt by Spark! Kseniya uses Shadow Claw! Kseniya uses Shadow Claw!
the luxio was sent tumbling backward, her face twisted to reveal her agony as the strike landed. andrea could only watch as tanya struggled to remain conscious before going limp with a small moan.
"well..."
the girl recalled the electric-type, realizing that she had lost. surprisingly, the defeat didn't sting at all. with a simple shrug, she secured her pokemon's capsule to her belt and approached sylvester. a slow smile made its way onto her face as she did so.
"guess ya win, sylvester."
she placed a small hand onto his chest, her eyes revealing only warmth.
"what do ya want from me?"
andrea circled him, the motion playful.
she purred.
"mmm. what can i do fer ya? wanna know a few more secrets? or... do ya have somethin' else in mind?"
