Sylvester was confused by what Andrea meant by the statement of there being a similarity between Broski and Brolaf, though he shook it off as her pokemon came out with the intention of bringing his best. "Dodge that first vine, Brolaf!" The pokemon made an angry face that almost looked as if it were troubled mentally due to it's vast anger, yet moved to the side in time to avoid the first lashing from the vegetation. The second one, however, manged to leave a considerable welt on his pink hide.
"You're alright buddy, shake it off and hit back hard with confusion!" Reluctant to say how many times, Sylvester knew his pokemon had been able to communicate telepathically, suggesting mentally that it should use it twice by simply allowing that to remain as the residual thoughts of his mind's surface. It seemed Brolaf understood, replying with a "Slow...poke." The fight was now on.
the grass-type grinned as he managed to pull off a successful hit, but released a pained grunt once the first rays of confusion struck. he appeared to be utterly dazed afterward, reeling from the simple strike that splashed against him and left him entirely vulnerable to the next attack.
"whoa, buddy. ya good?" andrea asked, blinking.
"sni-vy..."
the next confusion that followed caused him to flop over, and andrea couldn't help but cast sylvester an embarrassed look over the quick defeat.
"ugh... yeah! good job, boy! return!"
once the grass-type had been recalled, she roughly barked out her ghost-type's name. vivian appeared moments later, fading into sight before her mistress as she responded to the call.
"mis!"
"vivian, try a dark pulse!"
"misdre!"
the ghost-type released a dark energy, and repeated the special attack once more as she faced the psychic-type pokemon.

When Andrea's next pokemon came out after Jester the Snivy fainted, he was a bit more impressed. While Snivy was a great grass type pokemon, he favored ghost type pokemon over most any other kind there was.
And because of that, it did not come to disappoint Sylvester when the pokemon sent out a strong move against his Slowpoke. "Dodge that dark aura." With Brolaf barely managing to avoid the black rays, the second pulse that followed soon after caught him and dealt a massive amount of damage. Kneeling at his pokemons side, it was easy enough to determine that the Slowpoke was no longer in any condition to battle. "Alright Brolaf, Return." Placing the pokeball back inside his coat, Sylvester swiftly released another pokemon in Brolaf's place. "It's your turn to fight, Kseniya." The sword ghost pokemon and her trainer looked towards the Misdreavus as if a predator observing their prey. "Use pursuit twice, don't let them escape." With commands given, the sword made every last effort to run down Andrea's Misdreavus.

Oblivious - Lv.26 - Healthy (100%) Kseniya used Pursuit! Kseniya used Pursuit!
the ghost-type delighted in her victory, and eagerly awaited her next opponent. but its appearance left andrea somewhat worried on how long her ghost-type could possibly last. the creature that stood before them was obviously strong - the very same sentient sword that the coordinator had seen during her last encounter with sylvester.
"looks stronger than before," andrea commented, cocking her head the side.
the honedge lunged forward moments later, executing a well-timed attack that collided with the ghost-type pokemon's form. she released a pained screech, barely dodging the second swipe that nearly caught her.
"dark pulse!"
vivian turned sharply, releasing yet another beam of energy.
"again!" andrea shouted.
"mis!"

Sylvester was impressed to see the Misdreavus fair so well, though knew all too well that it was clever of Andrea to teach her new pokemon such a move. Proving reluctant at first to call for a dodge out of sheer arrogance, it cost him when Honedge was struck down by Andrea's pokemon like it was nothing. "How annoying...alright Kseniya, return." Recalling his pokemon, Sylvester switched the ghost types place with a pokemon he knew Andrea would have some sort of adverse reaction towards.
"Alright Flint, it's your turn to fight. Start strong with a series of flame charge." Screaming at the call for battle, Combusken stalked down the ghosty type and dared to collide with them twice whilst engulfing himself in a light coat of flame.

"mis!"
the combusken's hot flames scorched the ghost-type, brutally robbing her of her consciousness as she fell. andrea recalled the pokemon afterwards, the coordinator's eyes focusing on the fierce creature that stood before her.
"flint!" she shouted, greeting the fire-type with a pleased grin. "yer lookin' good over there. heard ya took out broski in a couple o' hits."
she laughed, eyes bright as she produced a pokeball. her starter was called to the field, the water-type facing down his selected opponent with bravado.
"it's yer turn, java! show 'em what ya got!"
"frog!"
"start off with a water pulse!"
the pokemon croaked, the attack forming in-between his webbed paws before being thrust toward the creature. this was quickly followed by another.

Sylvester was glad to see a formidable opponent brought out for Flint to fight with for real. Andrea's Frogadier was both faster and had a typing advantage against his own Combusken. Though by the looks of it, Flint was going in strong. "Don't dodge, just run right through!" The bird screamed, too reckless to be wary as it moved through the pulses of water. Even Sylvester had managed to forget the more crucial function of this particular move.
As Flint came running out the other end of Java's attacks, Sylvester called to him. "Double-Kick followed by a flame charge!" The pokemon was coherent enough to hear, yet...when these attacks came through? 'What the hell is he doing...' Combusken seemed to do nothing but hurt himself in a frenzied rage, soon enough wiping out all on his own. When Sylvester moved over to his pokemon, it was more than clear Flint was not fit to battle.
"I should've known better. Return." Allowing Flint to rest inside his pokeball, Sylvester gripped yet another one in his off-hand, tossing it out and releasing the contents. "Marley, it's your turn." The fairy type smiled and wagged it's tail fervently at the sight of Andrea and the familiar foe Frogadier.

"ya okay, pal?"
the pokemon had remained idle despite his mistress's concerned tone. as soon as marley had failed to take advantage of the frog's distracted state, andrea had shouted out a simple command that had been blatantly ignored.
"yo!"
once again, her starter failed to respond. java's eyes had fallen shut, and he maintained absolute stillness as awkward silence stretched onward. after a moment, the water-type released a breath and a pink flush began to crawl its way onto the sharp contours on his face. it didn't take long for andrea to realize what was going on.
"holy shit!"
"frooooggggg..." the pokemon croaked, happily.
"seriously? i didn't know yer fairy knew 'attract', man. that's one helluva strategy," andrea commented, her eyebrows raised.

Being confused by Andrea's statement and the display Frogadier made with his reluctance to go on the offensive, Sylvester felt embarrassed by what his friend had been saying. Marley simply looked between the two a little confused, though got his head back in the game when Sylvester called for the attack. "Give him a taste of your dazzling gleam, that should really get his attention." Right as Marley charged the, Sylvester looked towards Andrea with a most sincere expression. "It's not Marley, it's your Frogadier whose doing all the swooning on their own." He smiled a bit and let out a gentle laugh as the bright flashes transpired from Marley's series of attacks.
"Besides, I wouldn't teach my pokemon to battle that way. I like to outmatch and outsmart my opponents. Not...seduce them." He said the last part with an awkward tone, glad that Marley really didn't have a part to play in all of that.
Pixilate - Lv.24 - Healthy (100%) Marley used Dazzling Gleam! Marley used Dazzling Gleam!
andrea opened her mouth to reply only to have the blinding light of the sylveon's attack startle her. both coordinator and pokemon appeared to be visibly dazed, but java had suffered the most. he collapsed with a simple croak, the flush on his face remaining despite his lack of awareness.
"ugh..."
shaking her head and blinking rapidly, she cast her water-type an odd look after she had considered sylvester's words. with a shrug, she returned the frog, deciding to keep the match going. andrea quickly noticed that the battles wasn't as drawn out, going by quick as their pokemon lunged at one another - excluding one - with gusto.
"alright! tanya!"
the pokemon appeared from her capsule with a loud snarl, pawing at the earth as she faced the fairy. her claws were unsheathed, and she appeared to be behaving oddly as her tail twitched and she dug at the earth with her natural arsenal. the luxio's fur appeared to be slightly unkempt, lips curled as she bared her teeth and her chest rose and fell in rapid motions. the coordinator paused briefly, considering her pokemon's state before snapping her fingers.
"go."
that simple word caused the electric-type to lunge forward, wielding her brutish strength to her favor as she moved to tackle the fairy. tanya followed the violent action with a spark, her eyes wild as she did so.

"Dodge that tackle, Marley!" With Andrea and her Luxio on the offensive, Sylvester would need to be quick in order to make sure Marley didn't get hurt. Though after the tackle was avoided, Tanya gave a quick bolt towards Marley and shocked him. Rolling over on the ground, Marley's ribbons and body tried moving, though ultimately struggled as a few residual sparks arced along him. 'Shit, that's no good...Marley isn't ready for this sort of thing.'
"Try to resist it, Marley! I know you can do it, just try!" Struggling in place, Marley did his best to get up to no avail. The worried look in his eyes felt like daggers in Sylvester's back, ridden with guilt and empathy for the helpless pokemon. He wouldn't retreat Marley yet, though. Sylvester couldn't give up on Marley, especially when his pokemon wasn't giving up on him. "Just keep at it for me, buddy!"
Pixilate - Lv.26 - Mildly Injured (75%) Marley dodged Tackle! (1/2 dodges used) Marley is hurt by Spark! (Paralyzed) Marley cannot move due to paralysis! Marley cannot move due to paralysis!
her hands had curled into fists, and, after a moment's pause, she barked out a command.
"ya got him on the ropes, girl!"
"lux!"
an eager gleam entered the luxio's eye, her stance positively predatory.
"tackle!"
the electric-type lunged forward, intending to collide with the petite creature once more. sylveon lacked bulk, and were renown for their special attacks. the shinx's evolutionary line were the exact opposite of that.
"now, bite one of his ribbons!"
tanya obeyed, snapping at the beautiful decor that covered the pretty beast.
"try throwin' him!"
she swung her head, moving to roughly fling her foe onto the ground in other to further batter him.

As Andrea and Tanya had a field day, Sylvester was feeling awful for putting Marley through all of this. The first point of contact sent the Sylveon rolling around uncontrollably, and he could practically feel the discomfort by the expression on Marley's face alone. Once stopped, Tanya even bit down on one of Marley's ribbons and flung him. He hit the ground hard and suddenly, yelping out with a Sylllll!"
Sylvester budged from his standing position for a moment, impulsively desiring to rush to Marley's side and comfort him. But the battle wasn't over yet, as Marley finally was able to take a stand. "Use your own tackle back at'em, pal! You can do it, I know you can!" Rushing towards the Luxio, Marley would make two dashes as an aura of pink and glittery sparks emanated around his figure. He moved with grace, but most of all moved quickly, letting no time be wasted as he went back on the offensive thanks to Sylvester's much needed encouragement.
Pixilate - Lv.26 - Injured (45%) Marley is hurt by Tackle! Critical Hit) Marley is hurt by Bite! (Resistant) Marley used Tackle! (Pixilate) Marley used Tackle! (Pixilate)
the feline released a pained grunt as the fairy collided into her, the attack having an impressive amount of force behind it and dealing quite a bit of damage. as a grimace formed, tanya managed the difficult task of regaining enough focus to dodge the following lunge.
"yer doin' good, girl!"
motivated by her mistress's call, the pokemon growled in the sylveon's direction. her chest was puffed up and her body took on a crimson glow as she glared at the petite fairy.
"lux..."
andrea eyed the display curiously. she had recently become aware of such a tactic the luxio had come to favor in a short period of time.
she's usin' swagger?
an arrogant look twisted the female's pretty features before she lunged - releasing another electrically-charged attack at her foe.

Sylvester adorned a charmless smile as yet again his pokemon had succumb to such an affliction. Confused, Marley began to walk forward towards Tanya, unknowingly falling right into the attack and being stunned greatly by the electric type attack. 'The way he keeps trying...' It worried Sylvester if he treated his pokemon badly, though held back any words of an early forfeit. When it was their turn, he would at least try again to see what Marley could do.
"Keep using tackle, Marley!" Rising to a stand, the Sylveon briskly sprinted towards Andrea's Luxio, keen on bringing it a world of pain. However, instead Marley tripped and tackled into the ground and hurt itself. Watching the ribbons move as if in pain, when they fell limp to the ground Sylvester grew sad. Frowning lightly, he returned the pokemon and looked towards Andrea. "Should we keep this battle going, or...?" Waiting for Andrea to answer, Sylvester returned Marley to his pokeball and placed it back inside the confines of his trench coat.
