He stood up quickly and left Broski on his seat; he wouldn't mind if they moved him, and odds were Broski would be happy to oblige. But Dmitri wanted to ask at least one dance tonight, and if there was anything he hated it was going back on a promise, even ones he made to himself. Where are all the ladies? He spotted a couple of them off on their own. Then some creeper mosied on up and tried taking both for himself.
"Excuse me, Usa, Risu; I have business to take care of. Be back soon, though, I promise!"
What insolence... The nearest object was a vase settled on some pedestal in the corner of the room. It looked to be expensive, but it also looked heavy. Heaving it onto his shoulder, his lean muscle laboring to muscle the load, Dmitri hurled the thing at the red-head who was hogging all the dames.
"Leave some for the rest. This ain't a one man gala." He didn't particularly care if the women sided with the poor guy; it was just a matter of ethics. At least, back in his homeland, this is the sort of response you'd get out of most guys. Love was special, not something to be handled so willfully.
What would they do? The better question is, do I give a fuck? He hadn't recognized Andrea yet, given her abrupt change in appearance and actually looking more effeminate than her usual.
things couldn't get any better for the gal. not only did she have her princess near but the attractive red-head as well. she crooned her words, eyes sparkling with a thinly veiled lust as she managed a polite smile.
"if it ain't my knight in shinin' armor. thought ya dipped fer a second. nice ta know ya came back ta us."
"snivy," the grass snake purred, peering at the dragoness.
"'mmm. sit with us, yeah? bunny, ya don't mind, right? i wouldn't mind both his company and yers."
two was better than one, after all.
and andrea was almost tempted to simply scoop up the pair and disappear into the night. but she would stay for now, lingering in order to accomplish what needed to be done.
"..."
shaking her head free from such thoughts, she gestured toward the third seat, inviting darius to take a seat. when dmitri approached and spoke his mind, andrea snorted. she adjusted her zoroark and decided to speak up in response.

THESE ARE THE DAYS
WHEN I HATE THE WORLD
HATE THE RICH, HATE THE HAPPY, HATE THE COMPLACENT. TV WATCHERS, BEER DRINKERS, THE SATISFIED ONES. BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN BE ALL THOSE LITTLE HATEFUL THINGS AND THEN I HATE MYSELF FOR REALIZING THAT. BE SAFE, BE SAFE.
While Darius was getting his fill of Ladies for the night he was completely oblivious of the vase coming his way, his Gabite was not though, she roared leaping high up towards the Vase. Her arms began to glow a dark purple and she chopped the Vase in half and then into fourths sending them away from the two coordinators and trainer. "Gabite!!" She then landed down and shot a Dragon Rage towards the area in front of Dmitri threatening him to stay away from Darius. "Bite. . ."
Darius gladly took Andrea's offer. "Of course I will babe." He replied taking the seat with a wink. The first idea that popped into his mind was getting laid tonight, though he restrained from asking both women right there, even if they would say yes, he'd rather smooth talk them into it, if he could in his shitfaced state. He turned to see his Gabite shooting a Dragon Rage toward some brunette, he didn't care she could probably take care of this guy. "Good girl." He commented and turned back to Andrea and Bunny, specifically winking at Bunny hoping she wouldn't mind his presence.
Reach out your hands Don't turn your back Don't walk away How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart Close to you 'Til the last beat Of my heart
Bunny gasped as the second vase of the night sailed through the air and towards both Darius and Andrea. But luckily, this time everyone was more prepared. Darius' Gabite had attacked the vase, swatting it away. Covering her face, Bunny shook her head and whined words to herself about how much of a disaster tonight was and how much she wished this was like the parties in Kalos, where everyone was nice and sophisticated and nobody was so rude. Or violent.
But once she got ahole of herself, Bunny nodded, mumbling out an "Of course," as Andrea asked if Darius could sit with them. She had seemed pretty interested in him, so he should help her feel better, right?
She shook her head quietly to herself, indulging herself in her wine until it was all gone. She needed to forget this dance by tomorrow morning, no matter the cost.
Bunny looked to Darius as he sat down, a bright red blush encapsulating her entire face as he shot her a wink. Luckily most of it was hidden by her Buneary mask, but Bunny still turned away and covered her face a little as she waved another waiter with wine over. Yes please, more alcohol. More alcohol, more alcohol, more alcohol.
Though, she had to say....
As Bunny glanced back to Darius and Andrea after getting her next glass of wine, hoping they had forgotten about her shyness, she thought how she wouldn't mind maybe... spending the rest of the night with them. If they wanted. You know, just to make sure Andrea was okay....

"A-Andrea? I didn't recognize you." She looks more girly than usual. I would've sooner expected her to come in a tux. He would stick around and chat, but with so much happening Dmitri really only had time to gesture a direction with a bob of his head. Somewhere in the distance, Broski came scampering over in a flurry.
"Sicking your pokemon on a trainer, eh? Well ain't that swell." He backed off for the moment, Dragon Rage nearly seared his clothes. When he noticed a scorched mark; that set him off. And then you tell it to bite me? Dmitri knew Broski was on his way, but Gabite and its trainer deserved a lesson in reality. You don't send pokemon after people.
Dmitri took a small, running start as Gabite seemed to bustle towards him on Darius' orders. "You think I've never fought a pokemon before?"
"Eat this!" Dmitri was within approximately a yard when he kicked up, the lower portion of his body brought upwards in a drop kick. He was striking for dead center on the Gabite, the big girl had an oversized gut he intended to knock the wind out of. Objectively, it was meant to send the pokemon flying back into its trainer's arms.
"That's what you get for ruining my suit, AND hogging all the girls." He gave a look of disbelief; these girls were swooning all over him. This country is so bizarre... Broski took up his place just in front of Dmitri, snorting angrily. He seemed to wriggle with an unmatched fervor, perhaps swinub was appalled by the fact a trainer would threaten or even follow through with attacking an unarmed trainer with their pokemon.
"You're seriously falling for him?! He just attacked me with his pokemon!" Throwing a vase was a violation of conduct as well; but sending a monster after someone? That screamed beyond passing the line of acceptable behavior. Somehow, though, these girls seemed content to swoon over him. Maybe it was the hair, Dmitri couldn't be sure.
Picking up Broski, he sucked at his teeth and left. If those girls want to be treated like pins for him to collect, I can't make them change. Sighing, he turned and walked away. Perhaps he was better off asking Usa to dance after all. What a night this was turning out to be. What a failure on his part.

I AM NOT A BAD MAN
even though i do bad things
VERY BAD THINGS
such horrible things
"Foolish Human, does he honestly think he can try his petty fighting moves on me?" Gabite thought to herself, the buffoon was actually trying to kick her, such an idiotic move. She's taken worse from the puffball Sylvester calls a "Marley" and actual fighting type Pokemon, this was an idiot pretending to be strong in her eyes. She quickly charged up a Dragon Rage blasting it straight towards the man as he attempted a kick at her, that should of stopped the silly foreigner. Though if the flames were not enough to stop the man, she already had a back up plan, the blades on her arms were glowing a dark purple, she prepared her second attack, Dual Chop, with one arm she would guard, with the other she would slam the man onto the ground as painfully as possible. "Gaabite!!!"
Darius trusted his Gabite completely, she was better than most humans at this Gala, she was loyal, trustworthy, and strong. She could handle herself just fine, and so he ignored the fight it wasn't worth his time, not one damn bit. Though if any other idiots were to try to attack her Darius would have to get up, he may look like he was a muscle headed idiot, but he definitely was not. For now Darius kept his eyes on both Andrea and Bunny, winking at Andrea this time. "Don't worry about him, he's pretty stupid if he thinks he can mess with my Gabite, she's a fucking monster when it comes to battling with Pokemon or Humans."
Sand Veil - Lv.24 - Healthy Gabite used Dragon Rage on Dmitri! Gabite countered using Dual Chop on Dmitri!

"yo!"
andrea stood, a look of discontent causing her features to twist and her frown to become much more prominent.
"imma need ya'll ta chill the fuck out."
she had no intention of seeing any of her companions being booted out of here over something entirely too petty. it was as though the males were attempting to establish their dominance. and gabite's and dmitri's conflict, while interesting to watch, needed to be dealt with.
"imma also need ya ta not fuck up dmitri's face, darius. ya got me?" protective of all whom she had deemed a good friend, she didn't desire dmitri to be harmed. no matter his behavior - which had been, admittedly, ridiculous.
she kinda thought he was gay, too - but had never really bothered to ask.
so she was somewhat surprised by his choice of words.
"ya got five seconds or i'll fuck ya'll up instead. don't do this kinda shit around us. understand? now sit yer asses down."
andrea glanced at bunny before focusing on the two men present.
"and don't think i'm bullshittin'."
"snivy! sniv!"
the grass-type attempted to reason with the powerful dragoness, boldly dissuading her from following through with another strike.
Post by Dmitri Khvostov on Jul 17, 2015 3:08:23 GMT
"Tch." It was inevitable that Dmitri would storm off; this evidently wasn't going as planned. He bee-lined straight to the great entrance hall, leaving the facility for a moment to come back to his senses. What happened back there?
Broski tugged at his pants, fumbling over his dress shoes when he abruptly stopped. He seemed concerned for Dmitri, but confused as to what was wrong. Isn't this supposed to be fun? Swinub wasn't entirely wrong; but something was getting in the way.
Yikes. Cool night air washed over him, a stark relief against the contrasting disappointments the night had brought. I just wanted a dance. Usa had avoided his question, Andrea was too busy with someone else. He didn't know anybody else here...
Sighing, he reached into his pocket for a cell phone. It's almost time. By now they would be making preparations for the final dance ceremony. He wondered how it would go, and if he should even bother staying for the remainder of the night.
I bothered showing up, might as well stick it out. Who knows... Sometimes, life had that funny way of panning out, just before you lost all faith in hope.
Reach out your hands Don't turn your back Don't walk away How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart Close to you 'Til the last beat Of my heart
Bunny found herself confused and frustrated at the table she sat with Andrea and Darius. This random guy was looking at her as some sort of object, a toy for boys to play with, and she was just about to speak her mind about it when the doors slammed open and at least a hundred uniformed people marched out, fierce-looking pokemon at their sides.
People were shouting, instructions were being passed on, and everyone was angry. She didn't understand any of the hubbub, she just knew it was suddenly crazy and this was the worst party ever. Seriously. Kalos was so much classier than this.
People were starting to fight. Pokemon were screeching in pain, trainers were shouting orders. Whoever these guys were in their red outfits, they were acting as if they were well-trained soldiers. What could she do?
Diana was at her side, determination plastered on the tiny dragon's face. Nobody was going to hurt her or her trainer, not if she could help it! Not to mention Bunny had brought the rest of her team, too. You know, just in case.

things had escalated.
they had escalated a fuckin' lot.
but andrea was far from surprised as there was a terrible flurry of action. she reached for her wine and casually sipped at the delicious mixture. as tables were knocked aside and chaos erupted all around, she maintained an air of serenity. snivy also remained idle, his expression having grown flat.
"fuck aqua."
she chuckled.
"fuck magma."
another chuckle.
"fuck the world."
the girl finally stood after finishing off her wine, gesturing for snivy to climb onto her shoulder.
"sniv!"
the pokemon obeyed, and andrea grinned. she removed the hair tie that had helped formed her ponytail. settling at her side, she smiled.
her mouth moved closer, and she whispered to bunny the truth.
"i'm the one who caused this, princess," she purred.
andrea grinned at the chaos, eager to claim such a masterpiece as her own.
"ain't it grand?"
darius was powerful as he exuded a form of pure rage.
sylvester maintained an air of calm and control.
dmitri produced a masterpiece in the form of chilled winds and snow as he introduced broski to the conflict.
and bunny - her bunny - served as the centerpiece to it all - because andrea could only focus on her at that particular moment.

"Oh?" He'd gotten the message about this Gala some weeks ago and had chosen to attend if only for some kind of break from his mundane life. He wanted to watch people, move about and interact with each other he'd also been assigned to keep watch over the odd event as it seemed slightly suspicious to HQ, For the most part the night was relatively boring there'd been dating events slow dances, ritzy indeed but certain patrons of course always seemed to jump out of hand and draw attention to themselves.
Regardless he'd made his way through the night calm he'd forgone socializing, drinking, or anything else of the sort simply standing watch waiting for things to go awry. It was shortly after midnight when his thoughts came to fruition the man moving forward slowly now. He doesn't join the first wave of the attack ordering Lucario to read the aura's in the room the magma grunts and guests alike emotions spreading like wild fire. The pokemon read all sorts of Aura's Anger, Despair, Excitement, Pain....lot's of pain, everything flooding the Aura pokemon's senses as he searches for anything out of the ordinary. It's only then the steel type notices an aura coming from the far left. Far too prepared, too joyful for the event at hand. Pink irises are cast toward the girl sipping wine at her table laughing as people call out their pokemon doing battle.
Before he's to meet the black haired girl his priority now is releasing the patrons and so the pair move through the crowds and into the battling field eyeing a lairon guarding the door. It looked powerful but was far too weak to continue this while the other enemy pokemon had more life to them. He glances at the group of trainers attacking the Lairon, there was no point in having this many people attack the already half dead pokemon, Lucario would be more than enough to finish it off. The ranger nods on to his Lucario to jump in an deal the final blows. "Power-up Punch, into Close Combat. Meet me when you're finished."
The fighting does as asked dashing in the first technique increasing it's attack power before unleashing a deadly flurry of blows against the lairon each attack doing an almost unparalleled amount of damage to steel and rock type. The dinosaur-esque pokemon would be lucky to survive if it could even manage that. While Lucario continues its flurry of strikes the ranger turns to those attacking it. "This one is done, it'd be wise to help wrap up the others, they seem a little worse off."
With that the ranger turned away from the ensuing chaos in the direction of the only one in the room behaving so oddly, only to meet a familiar face on the way. "Syndra, you're capable. I have a theory about the ring leader behind this farce. Come with me."
[attr="class","idfc5"] Lucario, Fighting-Steel (Steadfast) Close Combat -- Power Up Punch -- Dragon Pulse -- Aura Sphere -- Extreme Speed -- Foresight
Lucario reads aura of all in the room. Lucario uses power up punch against Lairon (4x super effective) Lucario uses Close Combat boosted against Lairon (4x super effective)
[attr="class","idfc3"]Andrea looking sketchy as fuck.
[attr="class","idfc4"]
Syndra agrees quickly only for another familiar face to appear looking for some part to play in the ranger's plan. He sighs throwing the idea around for a moment seconds later a small smirk gracing his features. "Well your head doesn't have much value, but I'm sure that lumbering body of yours could find some use." In truth Ven being the fighter he was, was more than capable to take down anyone who stood in his way, but having an extra set of hands never hurt. That and the red haired man was reminiscent of a tiger his gaze was threatening to say the least, that also was an asset.
"Well assembling a team was easier than I thought. So I'll explain the girl over there sitting at the table." he nods over to the girl sipping her wine oh so casually. "My pokemon read her aura, if it's not obvious enough with the way she's acting it's apparent she's playing some kind of role in this." He nods at the black haired girl cackling the night away. With his piece spoken the man begins toward the table his makeshift compatriots in tow a commonplace smile plastered across his face only to take a seat at the woman's table pink irises staring the woman down now directly across from her.
"Good evening." He starts, "I'm not one for small talk so I'll be forward." He places his elbow on the table leaning on it behind him the wild eyed red haired man, and the weary green haired girl. "What exactly do you have to do with this. If you lie believe it or not, I'll know." His tone was calm, but authoritative all the while no sense of a bluff in his voice. Lucario would be back momentarily ready to separate fact from fiction the trainer was certain of this.
both andrea and jester turned their gazes toward the male whom had politely addressed them. he oozed with superiority - a pure and infuriating confidence. she had hoped only bunny would detect her words, but, unfortunately, someone else had managed to identify that she played a part in this.
she grinned.
"ooooh, i get it now," she crooned.
she leaned closer to mc-ranger-fuck, casting a cautious glance toward her girl. jester remained alert.
"ya interested, i see. yer one of them... ah ... ranger types. am i right?"
"sniv."
"i'm sure yer itchin' ta know a ton 'o shit right about now. i'm surprise ya give a fuck now. guess it has ta be shoved right up yer ass before ya look at it and go 'aw shit, somethin's goin' down. better look into it like i'm fuckin' sherlock holmes'."
she snorted, amused by her own words. they were mere ramblings from a girl too drunk and all-too eager to lap up the surrounding chaos and take part.
"take yer pokemon... and get the fuck out of my face, bitch."
snivy snickered at his mistress's tone.
"bunny," she called. "let's get some action in! jester, ya know what ta do."
the grass snake nodded his head and moved to obey his mistress, eagerly jumping into the conflict. he produced his vines, intending to last out at a single mightyena. andrea began to move away from the unknown male, wanting nothing more than to distance herself from authoritative figures.
Reach out your hands Don't turn your back Don't walk away How in the world Can I wish for this? Never to be torn apart Close to you 'Til the last beat Of my heart
Everything was happening so quickly. By now, Diana was paired with Garnet and Dorian. Bunny's Ditto had been transformed into the form of a Wooper since it had been released, spraying any Houndoom or Mightyena that got near it with a Water Gun. Garnet was talking to her trainer consistently via telepathy, shooting a few Confusions here or there when she needed to. Meanwhile, Diana unleashed a barrage of Twisters wherever she could, oftentimes hitting two pokemon at once. It was a mess. A huge mess. And worst of all, Bunny was confused. Not because of the event, but because of what Andrea had said;
"I'm the one who caused this, princess," she had said, "ain't it grand?"
Bunny didn't know what to make of it. She consulted Garnet often, asking for advice and insight when she could. The tiny Psychic pokemon was surprisingly good at multitasking.
But she guessed she would ask Andrea about it later. Right now she needed to worry about her pokemon and this mess rather than her emotions.

The green haired girl followed as she said she would, lingering further back than one would expect. Ven had done his thing. Confrontation in such a manner was never really her strong point anyway. Did she recognize this person... wait wasn't this the person that Noah had hit with a vase during the speed dates? Her lips pursed as she listened to what the black haired woman had to say. To be honest it wasn't pretty and she could barely understand it other than not denying any of the accusations. Suddenly Noah's decision to actually throw the vase at the woman's head didn't seem so bad anymore.
Now this same person was also attacking the magma pokemon. Meaning they were not from magma. There was no benefit to doing that as a magma member after the ruse that was played. Using the fighting as a diversion perhaps? Snapping her fingers together, the ice type by her side got into a less carefree expression. Regardless of whatever the case may have been Syndra did not appreciate the attitude and neither did the Spheal. With a breath the chubby pokemon shot two beams of vibrant pastel colors reflecting from the light. Their target was the Snivy's back that would hit the magma pokemon if both attacks were dodged which would be unlikely. This was done to appear as though that was their original target.
"Oops. Looks like your Snivy got in the way." Syndra made presence more prominent by walking forward next to Ven. The look in her eye were glazed over if one were to look past her mask. Raising her hand to casually toss her long celadon locks back behind her to not get in her way Syndra did something she would rarely ever do, look down at another just as they had. "You and your pokemon should stop doing that. Might get you into trouble." She was confident when it came to pokemon her Spheal was more experienced and so this person had no reason to speak as if they were high and mighty. If they wanted to fight back then so be it.
Pulling out the other pokeballs she had on the garter belt around her leg, she raised them up in case she had to defend herself or her Spheal. There was no telling what underhanded tricks were going to be used. "If you know something then enlightening us rather than cursing would be more fruitful, no?"
Spheal, water/ice-type (Thick Fat) Level 25
Spheal used Aurora Beam 2x at Andrea's Snivy. If dodged will hit Mightyena instead. Dress
