The man he had met earlier that day was friendly to say the least and he was still slightly shocked he hadnt gotten too annoyed with his wiley shinx that he still hadnt named. It wasn't too late in the day yet, nearing evening, so he didn't feel too bad. He hadnt encountered a pokemon still and was was currently just relaxing under a shade tree. He figured he should be training the little shinx that laid on his lap, but with how crazy she could be, he thought that earning her trust first would be best, then maybe she'd listen to him.
The little shinx kitten laid on his lap in a light sleep, curled up while he gently stroked her back. He could even call asleep if he allowed himself to, but doing that would only cause problems. Itd be easier to not call asleep if his eyelids weren't so heavy... Maybe a little nap wouldn't hurt...

That Gala sure was interesting... Alastor was headed back towards Littleroot Town to satisfy Mienfoo's persistent attitude. He'd taken to calling her Mulan, and she was deadset on returning home at least once. Al wasn't keen on her brutalizing his face until he had nothing left to call a face.
Still, sometimes he pretended to take an interest in the affairs of others. Even now as he passed by a shaded tree, he could see a young lad and his shinx taking a break from the day. Shake a leg, dude. You're up for a battle. Al paused, pointed himself towards the stranger and thusly walked up to introduce himself.
"Hey. Ya wanna battle?" A plain question from one simple trainer to another. He brandished his pokeballs, though only two were outfitted with pokemon of his own. The rest were bereft of pokemon, though he too longed to capture more. But for now, a battle would suffice.
"I don't have anything to abuse shinx's typing, if you're worried I'd do something like that." At least Alastor couldn't know if he did. Fire and Fighting-types were neutral with Electric, so far as he knew, though his studies were often neglected for the sake of real world experience.
He really hadnt meant to fall asleep leaning against that tree, but it was such a nice day that he couldn't really help it. Shinx succumed to it well before he did, though it wasn't long before they were so rudely woken up by someone wanting to battle. Ozzy looked up at the male but his coherency hadnt really returned until he processed for a few quick moments. Shinx woke up with a jolt too, though she was already on her feet and checking out the male that abruptly ended their afternoon nap.
"Uh..., sure. And no, we're just new to this. I just got her this morning. But we can battle," he didn't admit to this male that he hadnt even met a wild pokemon yet like he had to Sylvester earlier that morning, but that was because this guy proposed a challenge and he didn't want to seem weak despite that he had only started today. He was told Shinxs attacks, but that was about all he knew. And the very basics of course, he wasn't that stupid.

Alright then, I'll use my Mienfoo. Mulan!~ He dropped a pokeball at his feet, only for it to bounce high into the air and dispense a vibrant Fighting-type pokemon. She flexed and stretched, expectant of Alastor to throw her in a fight every now and again. It wouldn't be long until she was ready, bouncing on the balls of her feet.
I'll give you and Shinx a moment, wouldn't want your afternoon nap getting the best of your battle senses.~ Al was teasing the poor lad. He took a seat on the ground, criss-cross applesauce on the dusty road beneath him, patient and merely observing the stranger. Stranger, oh, right.. He'd forgotten to introduce himself. The name's Al, short for Alastor. It wasn't much of a name, but it suited him fine.
How 'bout you? He tried to give a casual smile, to appear warm and friendly, lest he betray something about his character that seemed uncouth. He leaned to and fro, incapable of remaining still. It couldn't be helped, but perhaps it made him seem more silly than anything.

He really hadnt been asleep that long, just a few minutes really, so when he stood he was hardly groggy. Shinx was asleep much longer and didn't seem tired either as she now stood in front of him, ready to battle. The man released a meinfoo he called mulan and shortly after introduced himself, sat down? Ozzy had never seen a battle sitting down, so he remained standing.
"I'm Ozzy, short for Ozwald," he mimiced Alastor with a slight smile. The man would rock back and forth then, making one of ozzy's brows raise but the smile still lingered. He was strange, but Ozzy didn't think it was a bad thing. If anything, it was cute...
But Ozzy couldn't think like that now; there was a battle at hand. He just hoped the man didn't prove to be too much of a distraction. "You go first," he invited, trying not to let his gaze linger on the man too long.

After you, Mienfoo.~ He yawned, barely tired but still, relaxing made him comfortable enough to sleep. Mulan took up a similar pose to Al, and they both stretched themselves loose, limbering out their respective physique. Mienfoo knows the best stretches.~ It was like yoga every time he battled with her, the sensation sent up his spine when he pushed himself to her limits... overwhelming. She kept him in shape.
Mmmmeditation is good... Al wasn't at all concerned with losing or winning; it was a friendly battle meant to make a new friend. Sylvester was spurned by Al, and other than him, Alastor knew almost nobody in Hoenn. It was time to make that change. He slurred his speech, not entirely purposefully, but it served to lower Ozzy's guard. Enough for him to share his name as well, it would seem Ozzy was his opposition today.
Your Shinx looks adorable. Have you named it?She just looks great for snuggling... Perhaps it was envy, because Mienfoo hardly let Alastor near her without a few slaps or right hooks jabbing at his cheeks and jaw. She's so tsundere. As if accutely aware of his thoughts, Mulan shot him a dirty look, interrupting her trance. Mienfoo stood, bracing herself for Shinx. Mien mien!
Mulan used Meditate! x2

The two of them stretched, leaving Ozzy plenty of time to come up with some sort of strategy. Stellas night slash would do very little against a fighting pokemon, so his only option was to lower her defense with leer and spam tackle. Stella was still weak, only knowing a handful of moves, so this battle would be a bit difficult for them. Thankfully, he had intimidate on his side to counter that meditation, but only once.
"Thanks, her names Stella," he smiled down at the kitten pokemon. "Shiii!" getting pumped, the shinx was excited for this battle. Ozzy wasn't sure that they would win, but at least it was good practice and maybe hed make a new friend. Stella, leer then tackle!" her eyes narrowed at the meinfoo, hopefully lowering the pokemons defense before tucking her head and charging at the pokemon. Stella was fast, but unlikely faster than the fighting pokemon.
LVL05 - INTIMIDATE - 100% Leer - Tackle - Night Slash Intimidate (-1 attack stat) Stella used leer! Stella used tackle!
I didn't even account for Intimidate... Al watched Mienfoo bounce on its toes, returning Shinx's leer with a glare of her own. Bouncing towards Shinx, she returned the favor with a sweeping low kick aimed at her side to roll Stella off her feet.
Follow it up with Pound! Mulan pounced at Stella, leaping onto her before jabbing at her with formidable fists that looked like blobs of dough. She managed to leverage her advantage against Stella, evading her Tackle before it could connect.
Keep 'er steady, Mulan.She always goes into a frenzy the second I let her out, and then she's tuckered out in moments... Still she always managed to impress him, and for that Alastor couldn't begrudge her such raw tenacity and passion.
Mulan used Low Kick! Mulan used Pound!

The low sweep from the pokemon came suddenly, but thankfully Stella was quick on her toes. She dodged the attack without command, making Ozzy's brows raise in surprise. The attack wouldn't have done that much damage if it had hit, but it at least gave them another turn hopefully. The mienfoo went after Stella then, the pound colliding and taking a decent amount from Stella because of the double meditates, but she didn't seem to mind too much. His eyes narrowed and he decided to repeat the same moves from last time, doubling up on the leer from turn turns and hopefully this tackle wouldn't get dodged. "Use leer again, then follow it with another tackle!" He wasn't sure how successful this would be, but hopefully with the leer lowering the pokemons defense even more, the tackle would do a significant amount of damage.
LVL05 - INTIMIDATE - 80% Leer - Tackle - Night Slash Stella dodged low sweep! (1/2) Stella used leer! Stella used tackle!
Shinx is fast, but that's to be expected... Though he wondered how effective its tackle may even prove as it crashed into Mulan. She staggered backwards, visibly wounded. Huh? Mienfoo seemed stunned by the attack.
It must have been that Leer... Alastor had incorrectly assumed so far as to believe Mienfoo possessed a resistance to the normal attack. Apparently she was susceptible, and Stella seemed to weave around Mulan just now with a confidence Alastor meant to crush.
Low Kick. Mienfoo flipped itself onto its hands, then threw itself forwards back onto its feet, before landing on its hands and bringing its legs down harshly. Aimed at Stella's legs, Mulan meant to sprain her ankles and hinder her evasive movements.
Again. She rebounded as her legs came flying up from the other side of Stella as they'd swept under her firstly, redirecting her balance as her kick yanked her skyward and touching down behind Stella, where her stunt poised Mulan just within reach for another low kick.

Ouch. He cringed as he watched the two low sweeps knock Stella to the ground repeatedly. She cried out, especially at the first one being a critical hit. There was no time to dodge the second one, knocking her back down. He debated using medicine, but held off for now... Maybe there would be another chance. With shaky legs and health below half, Stella carefully rose on wobbly legs.
"You okay?" he asked the tired pokemon, but she responded with an eager "Shii!". He smiled, but he was still worried. "Again, leer then tackle!" he could only hope that the defense weakening was helping, but any more meditates or critical hits from that mienfoo and he was certain they would be finished.

They'll never get past Mulan's defense at this rate. Mienfoo seemed to flex and revel in her moment. But she perked back up when Stella stood back up, perhaps expecting the other pokemon to feign defeat at this rate even if it wasn't quite finished yet. Mien! 'If you insist!'
"Just keep kicking it back down, Mulan." It didn't sound very pleasant, but there wasn't much else to be said. Stella was leering at Mienfoo, but she was too agile. When it came crashing in for a Tackle, Mienfoo skirted to the side and sent a sweeping kick to trip it as it rampaged forward.
"Keep pursuing Shinx!" You don't give up an advantage when you're on a roll! Mienfoo turned around and bumrushed Shinx, before sliding just a few feet short and crashing into the ground at her feet with a full-body low kick.

It hurt to watch Stella get kicked to the ground repeatedly. The mienfoo was a lot faster than he expected and there was no way that Stella could outspeed it. Ozzy already knew they would lose this fight, but he contiued on hoping that Stella wasn't getting discouraged.
Two more low sweeps and a Stella collapsed. It took her time to get her back in her feet but she wasn't done yet. "Two more tackles!" He commanded the shinx as it darted for the two attacks, hopefully knocking it down a few pegs. Stella was starting to tire out though, and it was evident in her lack of speed.

"It's over." Mienfoo came around for another low kick but was caught midstep, instead being thrust aside and knocked on her arse. Mulan wasn't defeated, yet she was reaching her constraints. By the looks of it, so was Stella.
"Get up and try again!" It wasn't like Mulan needed to hear that, but it made Al feel like he was still contributing in a way. Her lithe form came bounding in, her heel sliding across the ground and driving the shinx off its feet.
Just let it end already... Alastor was starting to get bored of watching them fight; it wasn't that Stella or Ozzie put up a poor fight either. He just wanted to see all sorts of flashy moves generally when he fought.

They were knocking the mienfoos health lower and lower, but it just wasn't enough. Two more low sweeps took Stella out for sure this time, fainting her on the second attack. She tried to get up, but she was far too weak to stay awake, much less keep battling. Ozzy frowned and pulled stellas pokeball back out. "Good job Stella, return." he put the pokeball back where it belonged and looked to alastor. "That was a good battle. Congratulations." He smiled at the man then down to mulan, proud of them that they won, but disappointed that he and Stella had lost. He could've have been more proud of the shinx though, despite their loss.
