I'm not going to let him get away with this! He kicked up at the dirt, sending a small cloud of dust into the air and sullying his shoes. It frustrated him that, despite weeks of training, nothing seemed to change. Today he would try again, with his usual strategy, and pick apart what was wrong. He veered off the road, climbing atop a boulder.
If I can't even do this, there's no hope for me. He was determined to self-improve rather than rely on somebody else to hold his hand along the way. I need to do this alone. For Usa. For Ma and Pa. For Broski... Redeeming his team and himself was the goal today. Either that, or bust. From his perch, he secretly hoped against hope that it wasn't bust.
"...Hello? Hey Sylvester, I'm on my way through Route 18. Get over here stat and gimme and Broski a warmup! See ya there." Beep. Beep. Beep. Click. That ought to get his attention, Dmitri thought to himself, seated upon a boulder along the clearing weaving through the forest thereafter which led to Forretree City. Usa lived here, huh?

"So, what did you have in mind this time around?" Sylvester and the current reigning champion between the two, Flint the Combusken, stood at his side. Approaching them, it was very clear Dmitri had something in mind. 'A warm up, huh?' That only had one real answer to it...Dmitri and his Swinub must have wanted a rematch. "Flint, hold on to this egg for me, and keep it somewhere safe."
The bird complied, tucking the small item onto his person before nodding in approval of the request. Sylvester stood a little more comfortably, eyeing the brown-haired duo as the reason for their meet became apparent to him. 'I hope they are actually both ready this time around...geez.' At least for Sylvester, he didn't have to worry too much. Flint seemed brimming with energy, kicking up towards the sky while screaming. "Combuskennnnnnnn!"

"A battle, o' course." I can't let you scrounge all these victories out of me without exacting a few of my own!. Dmitri dropped a pokeball, jumping from the rock and landing alongside Broski, who seemed to have grown double in size since last they'd met. His fur was more shaggy, and he looked in need of a bath.
"Broski has been training super hard! I intend to nurture his dauntless resolve!" In truth Broski had been brooding over losing to this chicken for far too long. It was hungry for vengeance, and snorted almost affirmatively. Swi Nub Swiiiiinub!
Oink oink, mothafukka! Digging his paws into the dirt, he would've charged Combusken, if not for Dmitri's calm. Piggy wanted payback real bad.

He should have figured. Both Broski and Dmitri seemed to be adamant on getting their fair share of the spotlight. Sylvester could relate, losing was demoralizing. The will to win is what drove many trainers, including him. "You two should let it go. The real battles that matter are the ones in the gyms." Though he had a feeling it would not change how Dmitri or his pokemon thought, no matter what he said. "But if you insist...Flint, use double-kick."
Combusken screamed at the call for battle. The chicken was not so much a chicken as Dmitri would like to think. He went right up to that shaggy looking boar, and sought to give him a taste of his kick right in the kisser. Sylvester frowned at the added aggression his pokemon always seemed to possess. "You should stop trying to fight me this way." Sylvester had started regretting that he always seemed to win with Combusken. It was getting to the point where it almost wasn't fair. But Sylvester had to go all out, or it wouldn't count if Dmitri won. So he bet against him losing, especially with how lively Flint was. 'He's going ape shit...'

"He can do it!" Broski took the first set of kicks like a champ, craving for the fight. His size gave him greater leverage, and chomping down on combusken's foot made it vulnerable. "Use Earthquake!" Broski sent Combusken to the ground with a heavy lunge and pinned him there, holding it down with his sheer size. "Again!" Combusken tried to attack again, but Broski teetered just outside of reach, daunted by the sheer speed it always boasted.
But that speed doesn't mean so much after all, now does it? Broski still had a chance, no matter what Sylvester believed. It wasn't unbelievable for Swinub to persevere, that was his one blessing. Fortitude beyond compare. He smacked Combusken to the ground with Earthquake and fiercely stamped about, expecting a reprisal.

The way Broski had begun to fight back was daunting, giving Sylvester a genuine reason to fear as he began to strike out. The initial earthquake was frighteningly powerful, even if Sylvester commanded Flint to avoid the attack. "Dodge him Flint, you're faster than that!" Momentarily retreating before going on the attack, the Combusken was not completely out of trouble yet. "Busken!" A cry of pain that was made as Flint had succumb to the effects of the second earthquake. Scrambling to get back up, one could see the fiery passion growing in his eyes.
"Com! Bus! Ken!" Screaming in discontent, Sylvester's pokemon decided to attack on it's own accord, whirling towards the Swinub with a duo of kicks swinging for his head. "That's it, Flint, keep going strong! You got this!" The Combusken responded well to the encouraging attitude from his trainer, and sought to repeat another furious set of kicks towards Broski to exact a swift revenge...

Broski staggered to the side as Combusken came in for an attack, and checked it with a body slam before following up with Earthquake while it was still on its back. Swinub squealed fiercely, making grotesque noises that curdled Dmitri's blood. Woah. He sounds evil. Raging forward, it advanced on Combusken using endure and merely stared at down after a vicious headbutt shoving it backwards on its heels where it braced against his charge.
SWINAWB! He merely sat in Flint's face, tusks jutting outwards and reeking of rotten breath. Broski was doom-driven to win at any cost. "Keep going, Broski! We're not finished yet!" He cheered the swine on, watching as Broski tried once again to defy the odds. Amazing resolve...!
It was something Broski had which Dmitri lacked, but didn't fail to appreciate and nurture in his pokemon. Broski was his mascot pokemon, and he couldn't be more proud of him, win or lose. Somewhere in his backpack an egg shook restlessly, working up a ruckus in response.

Sylvester was glad to see that Broski's fighting spirit had yet to wither, though Flint was not very pleased by this. "Avoid his earthquake again!" With a swift movement of his feet, Combusken had yet again narrowly escaped the earthly tremors by carrying himself to the side. Wary of the Swinub's newly grown tusks, Flint leaped up so that he would fall down into Broski with his feet flailing about to kick.
'He's attacking without being given any commands...' While Sylvester was glad Flint seemed to be a natural fighter, he wondered if the Combusken would take his aggression out of hand. Broski seemed to be on his last leg, similar to their last battle. Flint on the other hand seemed to be doing pretty well, though judging by the Swinub, that could change at any moment. "Good job, Flint." Irregardless if they would win this battle or not, Sylvester was exceptionally proud of his pokemon. As Dmitri should feel too about Broski, his Swinub. This was another great clash between their choice pokemon, and the outcome of losing couldn't ruin it.

Broski...
I'm sorry, I let it happen again...
I'm sorry I'm not a better trainer...
I'm sorry I don't meet your expectations...
... I'm sorry for being your trainer.
Broski huffed his last, stamping at the ground and snorting massive gusts of wind from his lungs. It hurled itself at Combusken, jabbing its pubescent tusks towards the poultry but to no avail. Flint struck him down with heavy blows from its powerful talons. Broski teetered onto his side, spent.
Dmitri casually walked up to Broski, rubbing a hand through his coarse hair. So brave. Valiant. Things Dmitri could only aspire to be. He pressed a pokeball against Broski and he vanished, restricted to his pokeball where he could brood over Dmitri's inadequacy as a trainer. It's all going wrong, huh?
"We'll have to battle again sometime... I'm not going to give up on Broski, not ever." He walked away without another word, disturbed by the repetitive nature of his losses. I go with tact, I lose... I go with heart, I lose... What's the secret?!
Down on his luck and down in his spirits, he meagerly trudged away down along the route, hoping to find solace in solitude. His nails dug hard into his skin, peeling away at his arms. Dmitri was disgusted with himself for losing, but helpless to do anything about it. Rain began to fall hard, pelting him through the trees, and he smiled in agreement with the sky. I think today is a sad day, too.
He needed a few hours to get over himself, and let himself accept loss as an inevitability. But for now his stubborn pride got in the way, dampening his mood and replacing it with musings on his mediocrity and inferiority. I'm the worst trainer...
