The reason why Sylvester came all the way back to the routes just outside of Oldale Town was pretty boring. He always enjoyed going back to his roots, this time being no exception. Searching the wilds for pokemon, he had seen a few, but ultimately decided against trying to battle with them. 'I need to start paying attention to what I catch. I'm practically out of pokeballs already.' His success was on the rise.
"I wish I had a traveling companion...all this walking starts to get to me with nobody to talk to." Muttering those words when turning to look at anything coming up behind him on the trail, Sylvestyer realized his wish had been granted. "Hey, Alastor!" It certainly looked a lot like his cousin, seeing him roughly over a week ago just outside Littleroot Town. Walking towards him, he cracked a warm smile. "Good to see you again."
Oh no, don't tell me it's...? Bah! Such a wonderful morning wasted searching for the way to Petalburg City when suddenly show-off Sylvester rolled up on him with a casual smile. Damn, can't shake him can I? Maybe he wanted another battle.
"It's been a little while, huh Sylvester? At least a couple o' days, I reckon." Al tossed some jaded looks at Sylvester before holding a pokeball up at eye level. He tapped the button, and it grew larger, as if priming for something. Another tap and Mulan came out sprawled on all fours before quickly rebounding onto her hind feet.
"Need I say more?"
Alastor would like to battle! Alastor sent out Mienfoo Lvl 5!

"Alright...if you really insist." Answering to Alastor's obvious challenge, Sylvester plucked a pokeball from the inside of his trench coat, releasing his pokemon out on the field. "But I won't be going easy on you—Torchic, use scratch!" Without hesitating Sylvester sought to make the first move to officially commence their battle. With Torchic running toward it's target at a full sprint, it jumped to unleash the wrath of it's talons upon Alastor's pokemon.
"Alright Torchic, follow it up with another scratch!" Waiting on Alastor's move, he was already anticipating the options, taking them into consideration before preparing his next command.
Blaze - Lv.05 - Healthy Torchic used Scratch! Torchic used Scratch!
Mienfoo took the first scratch, grunting lightly. "Mulan, duck and sweep up the Torchic with Low Kick!" Mulan's fighting spirit and nimble physique allowed her to abuse Torchic's awkward posture, allowing the Mienfoo to duck beneath the talons as they raised off the ground to lacerate Mienfoo's flesh.
Just as she ducked beneath the one talon-brandishing leg her own leg came sweeping low to force the Fire-type off its feet. From here she seemed to pounce on Torchic, acting on instinct and momentarily ignoring Alastor's orders. Looks like she knew what she was doing at least. *Phew* It was getting complicated commanding all these pokemon around the more often they seemed to neglect his orders and abide their own.
"Just stay on your toes, Mulan." Al watched as Mienfoo seemed to flex and prepare her stance for the next rush of attacks. She seems pretty competent on her own. He hoped allowing her this small amount of freeform fighting wouldn't get to her head afterwards. Maybe he ought to punish her.
In the event, I'll have to have a few tortures lined up to punish her. That seems only the right thing to do.
Mulan was hit by Torchic's Scratch! Mienfoo ducked beneath the next Scratch! Mienfoo used Low Kick! Mienfoo used Pound!

Before Sylvester could even utter the words to dodge, Alastor's pokemon took advantage of it's strictly bipedal form and spared no remorse when sweeping for the leg. He frowned, as it was an unpleasant sight. Especially when the pokemon brawled the Torchic when standing over it.
"Torchic, fight back and keep scratching!" Though the chick was crying out, Sylvester's boisterous command seemed to catch it's attention, giving a firm swing of it's leg once more up at the opposing pokemon. "One more, Torchic, give it all you got!" Hoping it was his turn to start hurting on Alastor's pokemon, he watched the battle and it's every moment. 'Am I really going to lose again?'
Blaze - Lv.05 - Injured Torchic is hit by Low Kick (Critical Hit)! Torchic is hit by Pound!
Mienfoo was taken aback at the Torchic's alertness, and recoiled once a savage kick brought its talons into its gut. "Mulan, sweep underneath it and kick it into the air!" She tucked a leg beneath the Torchic where it lay and tossed it skyward with the attack. Mulan also managed to dodge the second scratch with this move.
"Now get above it and send it back down with another Low Kick." She posed herself above the flailing Torchic whose position was skyward and dropped a sharp heel into its side, sending it crashing down in a blur of orange. Feathers scattered across the area, evidence of a more-than-flustered Torchic. Did we win already?
Mienfoo was hit by Scratch! Mienfoo used Low Kick & evaded Scratch! Mienfoo used Low Kick!

Yet again his Torchic proved unable to get up in time to evade the pokemon's series of attacks. With a duo of direct hits, Torchic fell limp to the ground. Unlike normal, no chirping could be heard—not even the distress call. "Alright, you win again." A blank gaze was all he could afford to give Alastor.
"Your pokemon are pretty strong, that's no doubt. Good job. I'll have to look into buying some rare candy for this guy, to get him up to speed." As he spoke, Sylvester retrieved his pokemon with the pokeball and slid it back into his coat pocket. "Well, I need to be on my way to Petalburg City. It's this way if you didn't know" Walking in the obvious forward-moving direction of the worn trail, Sylvester turned around a sharp bend in the forestry to see the city's larger structures not very far in the distance.
"By the way, there's something going on in Slateport City here soon. You really should check it out. Skip the pokemon gyms, if you have to. I'm sure it will be worth it." Striding further after parting with those words, it wasn't long before Sylvester encroached the outer city limits. Having already been here, some ofthe residents gave him a casual wave or smile as he returned.
THREAD EXIT
Blaze - Lv.05 - K.O. Torchic is hit by Low Kick x2 (Critical hit)! Torchic has fainted!
"Good job, Mulan." Holding out his pokeball he brought the fighter back into his clutches and latched it to himself. Sylvester seemed eager to take his leave after suffering the defeat, but he made mention of an interesting event going on down in Slateport.
"I might try to sneak a gym battle in before, but I'll go check it out I guess... Thanks." I already knew where Petalburg was, you scrublord. He passed by without another word, bounding for the pokemon center and relishing in yet another victory. Mienfoo turned out to be an incredible addition to the current setup of his team, which was swell. Perhaps enough to defeat Petalburg's gym.
Mulan defeated Torchic! Mulan leveled up to Lvl 7!
