"deal," she replied, simply. "mileena. are ya ready? do yer best. i suggest ya hit as hard as ya can while ya get the chance."
"ink!"
the pokemon appeared pumped, eager to prove to andrea that she was indeed ready to face any and all pokemon. after all, she was an inkay. a perfect specimen with a noble background. when her mistress nodded, the younger dark-type floated onto the cement arena, boldly facing the fierce fighter. even when injured, the absol was a frightening sight. his strained expression only made it somewhat worse.
"i-ink!"
shaking her tiny body in hopes of freeing herself from her anxious state, the psychic-type prepped herself for her mistress's commands.
"tackle!"
the pokemon lunged forward, surprisingly speedy as she aimed for the absol's exposed chest.
"again! give it yer all!"
inkay released a high-pitched chirp in reply, adding as much power as she could in her second attempt.
infiltrator - - lv.8 - - 100% tackle - - peck - - constrict - - reflect - - dark pulse - - foul play mileena used tackle! mileena used tackle!
Was this a bad idea? Usa's face flashed a nervous expression as he watched the battle unfold. Leonidas was obviously exhausted from the previous match. So much so, that he was just barely able to dodge the Inkay's first tackle. The second tackle, though it just barely managed to push him back, caused him to wail in pain.
Counter attack with quick attack, Leo... At this point, the confidence in Usa's voice was all gone. In its place, was the worried tone of a papa bear that just wanted to fold his cub up in his arms. Of course, Absol was far too big and proud for that sorta thing...
Dizzy from his wounds, Leonidas dashed at the Inkay in an attempt to strike it down with quick attack.
mileena struggled when faced against the dark-types remarkable speed. but she managed to twirl off to the side, maintaining an air of elegance as her tentacles swayed as she moved.
"yer doin' good so far, girl!"
"ink," she chirped.
andrea shifted her gaze away from the battle so to eye the boy who possessed the dark creature. he was the expressive sort and he had a pretty face, his features soft and round. there was a touch of masculinity there - which allowed the typical spectator to be alerted to his gender. but one could easily label the boy as 'lovely'. she quickly realized why dmitri had taken a liking to him.
"ya care about yer pokemon, i see."
she smirked.
"i like that. yer absol - leo - is real lucky ta have ya."
"ink!"
"keep it up with the tackles, girl!"
the dark-type lunged forward once again with a shrill cry.
infiltrator - - lv.8 - - 100% tackle - - peck - - constrict - - reflect - - dark pulse - - foul play mileena dodged quick attack! mileena used tackle! mileena used tackle!
With no energy to dodge left, the impending tackles slam into the Absol, sending him flying backward towards Usa's feet. After trying to pick himself up twice, the Absol finally gave into the pain and laid motionless until Usa ran over to comfort him.
Are you okay, Leo... There was an obvious panic in his voice. But, it quickly went away when the Absol peered up at him and gave a soft smile.
Guess this round is your win... Usa slowly stroked the fur of his Absol as he looked up at Andrea. He flashed a smile at her and then returned his attention to his Pokemon. He pulled a pokeball from his pocket and pressed it against the injured Pokemon. The dark-type quickly disappeared into the sphere, with a flash of light.
As soon as Leonidas was safely inside his pokeball, Usa quickly pulled out a piece of paper and began scribbling on it.
Promissory Note
I _________ promise to tutor a Pokemon of Usa Keji's choosing, the TM ice beam.
Signature 1________ Signature 2________
Date _________
He hurriedly made his way over to Andrea and handed her the paper with a smile. Despite her being Dmitri's friend, Usa thought it was only the smart thing to do, having her sign a promissory note.
Um. Could you please sign this? And, then maybe we could go back to the Pokemon Centre? This was a really fun match, but I really get antsy whenever Leo isn't by my side...
the psychic-type pressed her round face closer to andrea's, releasing an excited coo as she expressed her delight. distracted by her pokemon's affectionate gestures, she failed to notice usa's approach until he was pressing a piece of paper into her hand. after casting him a look of bewilderment, she scanned the note's words before chuckling.
"seriously?"
with a shrug, she quickly plucked the pen from his hand and entered her information. she also added her phone number on the side - just encase.
"there ya go."
after returning the filled documentation and writing utensil, she recalled her inkay into its capsule.
"alright," she replied. "let's get yer absol and mine healed up, then. they could use it, yeah?"
with a gesture, she indicated that usa should trot at her side as they returned to the medical establishment. a pleased smile was on her face as she did so.
infiltrator - - lv.12 - - 100% tackle - - peck - - swagger - - reflect - - dark pulse - - foul play mileena has learned swagger!
Thank you... Usa eyes quickly scanned the paper after receiving it from Andrea. Noticing her number on the side, he flashed her a smile.
I should give you my number too... He ripped a piece from the edge of the paper and jotted his number down. He also added his IM info on the reverse side. There. Um, maybe my scribbles are too small. I can write it again once we get back to the Pokemon Centre...
He peered over at Andrea's Inkay and watched as the dark-type vanished into her pokeball. Inkay's final form is Malamar, he uttered softly. We should battle again once she evolves.
After returning the pen and paper to his backpack, he wiped a bit of sweat from his face with the back of his hand, and then combed his fingers through his hair. He had worked up quite a sweat from the battle.
Following Andrea's gesture, he stepped aside so that she could take the lead. As he followed alongside her he asked her questions about Dmitri -- How did they meet? Funny stories? Stuff like that...
His eyes sparkled with curiosity as he awaited Andrea's answer, hoping that she would be willing to share a funny story that he could tease Dmitri about later.
the girl accepted his information, scanning the contents before she waved her hand in a dismissive gesture.
"i write small all the time, yeah? i'll figure it out."
andrea made sure everything was secure, including her inkay's pokeball, before hurrying her pace a bit. she quietly encouraged usa to do the same as they approached the pokecenter. when he spoke up, the girl peered at his bright eyes and beautiful features before replying.
"i like ya, kid," she started. "and i'll be happy ta fight ya once my lil' girl here evolves."
the idea of owning a malamar caused her smile to widen. she wanted nothing more than to have her companion improve in such a dramatic fashion. plus, such a creature visibly appealed to andrea. it looked both intimidating and powerful, and the coordinator could only guess that mileena would love to develop into such a superb creature.
Usa listened intensely when Andrea spoke. He was happy to hear any story about Dmitri. The huge smile on his face was proof of that.
The day wasn't too bad. Though he hated the fact that Leonidas fainted in the end, in the battle between his and Andrea's Absol, his was the victor, and that gave him comfort Losing, after all, was not his strong suit.
Leo now knew a new move attack. This certainly would make the Pokemon a strong ally. Next, was getting him to learn an attack that he could use in a battle against a fighting-type.
As soon as they got to the Pokemon Centre, Usa quickly made sure that Leo was healed. When the nurse returned with Leonidas, Usa's eyes sparkled with glee. By now, he had gotten the chance to ask Andrea all the questions he wanted. After a little while of conversation, he said his goodbyes and went on to challenging the city's gym leader.
