they had scheduled a meeting for this particular route. dylan had requested a teaching that involved one of her tms and she had stated that the payment would come in the form of a single battle.
"he should be jus' around the corner."
andrea checked her phone, keeping track of the time as she awaited his appearance. it had been a while since she had encountered her silver-haired hotshot. their last meeting had occurred when they were just getting started. her pokemon had been mostly inexperienced, and she wasn't as capable - but she had managed a win despite it all.
"wonder if he looks any different now."
"frog..."
java leaned against a nearby stone that jutted out of the ground, his posture lax as he awaited the appearance of one of his mistress's friends.
"if he's late i'm fuckin' out," andrea muttered, crossing her arms.

Dylan strolls to the meeting point, no rush right? After all that training he deserved sometime to slow down, life isn't speeding up or slowing down so might as well enjoy the time you're not doing anything. He whistled a merry tune and bobbed his head to the beat. "I wonder if Andrea's gotten any better?" He thought as he turned the corner, he stopped to see if she was there, which luckily she was.
His Riolu was currently asleep in his arms, everyone in his team deserved rest and a casual battle after all the ones they had to win. He bopped it's nose with a smile and looked back towards Andrea, who on closer inspection looked a bit mad that he was a tad bit late, but he had his excuse ready. He grinned as he got closer, and waved with his free hand. "Hello Andrea!" He exclaimed, slowly coming to a stop in front of her.
"How's it going." Dylan asked looking towards Java, who was now a Frogadier, she had definitely been doing some training and getting stronger, it made Dylan wonder what her goals were in her journey. His grin turned into a big warm smile as he awaited a response.
java's gaze shifted toward the young man as he made his entrance, the pokemon waving his webbed paw in greeting.
"yo, dylan!"
the girl greeted him eagerly, her gaze shifting from the silver-haired male to the little one he carried. her smile lessened somewhat, memories of the gala and that ranger's lucario flashing within the confines of her mind. but the grin quickly returned once she realized that this was another pokemon entirely.
"hey there, cutie," andrea crooned, smiling at the young fighter.
java approached, pushing away from the stone that supported his light weight so to examine the pair closely.
"its goin' good! and, it's been forever, man!"
she slapped his shoulder roughly.
"yer fuckin' late," she said, furrowing her brows.

Dylan smiled towards Java as he inspected both Dylan and Riolu, who softly snored in his arms. He raised a finger to his lip signaling it to be quiet, and then smiled jokingly. He then looked back towards Andrea and nodded. "Yeah it has been a while, last time I saw you we were battling back in Petalburg, looks like you've gotten a lot stronger since then." He replied looking towards Frogadier again, then back towards Andrea.
He then took the slap on the shoulder, it was pratically Andrea's trademark greeting so he didn't mind it at all. It stung for a brief moment then all was better, the slap had shaken Riolu and made him wake up from his sleep though, it stretched and softly yawned, then looked over to Andrea with a small smile, still clearly tired.
"Oh you know what they say Andrea, fashionably late right?" He replied, he used this excuse often when he was late to a meeting, sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't he didn't mind as long as the other person wasn't mad at him for being late in the end. "You remember why I called ya here don't you?"

Dylan smiled, his excuse worked in his eyes, even if Andrea just rolled her eyes at it.
"Alrighty get ready than, because I've been doing some intense training."
Dylan knew which Pokemon to start with, she was the one that needed levels the most out of all his team, for until she was evolved she would be hopelessly useless, well until this battle was over at least then she could start doing some damage and be super obnoxious to all his opponents.
"Oh really? You I've been working out quite a bit actually, doing all sorts off stuff to get some nice muscles. Glad ya noticed." He grinned and flex his arms.
He'd finally pluck a Pokeball off his belt and press the button enlarging the capsule to size of a baseball in his palm. "Heheh yeah." He placed his Riolu onto his shoulder, who rubbed his weary eyes just in case he would be used in this battle, he wanted to be ready.
"Hooray, I hope this as fun as it was last time!" Dylan said remembering how he annoyed Andrea with status effects. His Riolu sat thoroughly confused, who was this woman? When did she meet Dylan? What was there first encounter like?
"Riolu?" The Pokemon asked Dylan with a tilted head, to which he replied. "Don't worry about it."
He waited for there to be a large enough space between him and Andrea with her Frogadier. Then began juggling the Pokeball between his hands. "All set? Let's go!"
"Gastly!" He called out pressing the button to release the gas Pokemon, who moaned loudly.
"Gaaaastly. . ."
"Let's take charge, you know what to start with Hypnosis!" Dylan commanded pointing towards the Quilladin.
Levitate - Lv.18 - Healthy Gastly used Hypnosis! Gastly used Hypnosis!
yes, instead of appearing positively miffed at the whole 'hypnosis' strategy - she continued to chortle. because, she had a feeling dylan would go for the whole 'stats' and 'status problems' deal. it was somewhat predictable, and andrea was prepared for it.
"return!"
as her pokemon snoozed on the dusty earth, she was absorbed back into her capsule.
"johnny! yer up!"
"ya know, dylan?" andrea drawled. "i love yer gastly. i just got a ghost-type myself. she's a real sight ta behold. only issue is - that ghost of yers has got shit defense."
"scrag!" johnny grunted, stepping toward the ghost.
"but my johnny here's got some good attack power, despite bein' on the weaker side 'o this match. show 'em! use feint attack!"
the scraggy lunged forward, a paw rushing toward the ghost-type. he followed this violent action with another.
overgrow - - lv. 17 - - 100% - - asleep tackle - - growl - - vine whip - - rollout - - bite - - leech seed jade was hit by hypnosis! jade has fallen asleep! jade has been returned!
shed skin - - lv.12 - - 100% leer - - low kick - - sand attack - - feint attack - - dark pulse - - headbutt coordinator andrea sent out johnny! johnny used feint attack!

"Darn those stupid switch outs." Dylan muttered to himself as the Scraggy came towards Gastly. "Well if that's how it is then I guess we'll do the same." He added shrugging his shoulder to wake up Riolu. "Go get em."
His Riolu nodded and stood up upon Dylan's shoulder who was currently crouched down then shot up to give Riolu a boost into the air. Riolu then landed directly in front of Scraggy cutting him off from Gastly, taking the two feint attacks, with a guard up. "Rio." The Pokemon grunted and then countered putting one hand out to use Force Palm and send a shock wave towards Scraggy, followed up by another one with his other hand.
Gastly on the other hand floated towards Dylan and awaited to be used later in the battle. "I'm slightly offended, did you really think you could pull a fast one like that on me?" Dylan said shaking his head "Now you gotta deal with Riolu." He added, a smirk coming across his face.
Steadfast - Lv.19 - Healthy Dylan switched out! Riolu used Force Palm! Chance for Paralysis!
she shrugged, observing with a slight frown as her pokemon collapsed after being struck once. she whispered a simple thanks, and returned the unconscious dark-type. unwilling to allow the riolu to remain, she produced a pokeball with an electric-type insignia etched onto its surface.
"go, tanya!"
the pokemon appeared moments later, stepping toward the bipedal canine with bared teeth.
"lux. luxio..."
apparantly eager to get started, electricity crackled across the creature's form as it wielded its infamous ability - intimidate.
"ready ta rock, girl?"
"lux..."
"good! start it off with spark! give it to him twice!"
the electric-type lunged forward, boasting her prowess as a predator as she stopped short and released a surge of energy.
shed skin - - lv.12 - - 100% leer - - low kick - - sand attack - - feint attack - - dark pulse - - headbutt johnny was hit by force palm! johnny has fainted!
intimidate - - lv.23 - - 100% tackle - - spark - - leer - - roar - - charge - - bite the ability ( intimidate ) has activated! riolu's attack will be lowered by one stage! tanya used spark! tanya used spark!

"That's new. . . Gotta think smart." Dylan thought to himself pondering for a moment.
"The Pokemon is definitely the evolution of Shinx. . ." Dylan thought, that meant it had to be somewhat of a high level. He looked at his Riolu and nodded again. "Play it smart. Play it smart." Dylan added in his head and rubbed the back of his head. "Smart. . . Smart. . . Got it." He began to smile and then looked over at Andrea. "That's a strong Pokemon, but sometimes being too strong is bad thing!" Dylan said towards Andrea. "Dodge it! Endure it! Counter it!"
Three simple, but devastating commands. and Dylan grinned, power being a double edged sword amused him greatly. He watched as the Luxio rammed into Riolu shocking it greatly, but surviving the blow. Riolu then transferred the move back at Luxio with double the damage.
Steadfast - Lv.19 - Badly Injured Riolu dodged! Riolu used Endure! Riolu endured the hit! Riolu used Counter!
the dodge was sloppy. very sloppy. and the pokemon found herself stumbling after she moved to avoid the powerful attack that was thrust toward her.
"tanya! ya good?"
the feline struggled to resettle herself onto her feet, a surprised look creasing her features as she blinked in bewilderment. she hadn't expect that at all, really.
"l-lux..."
andrea peered at the riolu, and quickly realized that it had been weakened. while her pokemon was still in, she intended for it to strike back against fighter.
"i want ya ta use tackle again!"
"lux!" tanya replied.
"again!"
the pokemon snarled, rushing forward and thrusting her solid body toward the slim creature.
Post by Dylan Allardice on Aug 8, 2015 7:17:05 GMT
Riolu was on the brink of fainting, it's eyes faded and half way shut, breathing heavily, and shaking tremendously to keep up standing. not matter how hard it would try, there was no way to dodge.
Tanya's tackle sent the Pokemon flying in the air and made it land with a harsh THUD. Dylan watched with feelings of sadness and horror to see his Pokemon fly through the air like that. He began walking towards it silently, but then slide towards it as he was the Luxio leaping at it again, quickly he scooped up the Pokemon and allowed the Electric type to slam into his back instead of Riolu. Obviously knocking Dylan over, but he protected Riolu.
Taking his attention away from the battle complete Dylan sat there crossed legged on the ground, dirt and grass marks on his clothes due to Tanya's tackle pushing him over onto the ground so harshly. He held Riolu in his arms and starred down at it solemnly. He knew that currently his Pokemon should be dead. His Riolu looked up at Dylan with faded eyes a tear streaming down his cheek. "Ri. . .o." The Pokemon whispered before it's head fell to the side, unconscious and in critical condition.
Dylan wiped the tear off his Riolu's face and pulled out a potion as he sung to himself very quietly. "Hush, little baby, don't say a word. Dylan's gonna make Tanya hurt , and if that hurting isn't good enough, Treble's going to have to play real rough." After that shortened and twisted lullaby was over Dylan stood up and held his Riolu close to his chest, he then looked over to his Gastly that was still out and floating about.
The Pokemon stared at Dylan unsure of what to do at first, but then floated forwards towards Tanya. Dylan pushed his glasses up his nose bridge and starring down Tanya. "Hypnosis please, set up for some trouble."
Levitate - Lv.18 - Healthy Gastly used Hypnosis! Gastly used Hypnosis!
andrea resisted the urge to roll her eyes, with her luxio mimicking the small show of aspiration over the dramatic male's attempt at soothing the young fighter. the ghost followed, and tanya found herself asleep moments later. the girl wasn't too surprised, nor entirely discouraged by the action.
"hm..."
realizing that there was little to be done because of it, she carefully considered her strategy. only four pokemon would be used for this particular battle.
scraggy was out.
quilladin was asleep.
tanya was nearly out.
and her mysterious fourth was still charged and ready to go.
"...!"
while her electric-type remained vulnerable to attack, andrea produced a full heal, moving to remedy her grass-type's present issue.
"frog?"
her starter glanced up at her curiously as she moved about.
intimidate - - lv.25 - - 100% - - asleep tackle - - spark - - leer - - roar - - charge - - bite tanya was hit by hypnosis! tanya has fallen asleep! coordinator andrea used a full heal on quilladin!

Dylan motioned for his Gastly to return to his side and then grinned a bit maliciously. It was a first for Dylan to show any form of sadism, but he believed that he pulled it off well.
"Let me ask you Andrea, does a trainer like you ever experience fear?"
He then reached to grab a Pokeball off his belt and held it towards Andrea. "I'm sure you remember my little friend Nidoran, he's been dying to battle you again." Dylan added and his grin widened. "But he might not be as cute and small as you remember him to be." He then slammed the Pokeball onto the ground releasing a blinding flash of light that lit up the entire battlefield, after it faded stood the previously known cute and cuddly Nidoran.
With that Nidoking began stared at Frogadier and Andrea with a frown, a wave of anger came over him. He remembered losing to two of them and that only increased his anger. The Nidoking let a loud grunt and lifted up its leg into the air and slammed it onto the ground sending a shock wave through the ground towards Tanya, the action was repeated again sending another shock wave directly at Tanya.
"If you don't, then I hope this will awaken that feeling inside you."
Sheer Force - Lv.20 - Healthy Nidoking used Earthquake! Nidoking used Earthquake again!
"first of all, hotshot. i'd suggest ya take a deep breath"
dylan's words had been met with a quirked brow. now, the coordinator would be the first to admit that the sight of the recently-evolved nidoking was fairly impressive. a small smile even formed as she was reminded of the tiny bundle of purple spikes that had faced down against java that time long ago. tanya was easily defeated by the single earthquake - the attack, coupled by the evolved pokemon's boosted stats, wasn't much of a shock.
"second of all, yes. i have felt fear," she replied, curtly.
she was reminded of her snivy at that particular moment. when she had no form of medicine or even a capsule on hand to stabilize his condition.
"and this is far from it," she said.
andrea returned her electric-type pokemon once it had fainted.
"my mood ain't the best right now, dylan. imma let ya calm down a bit before we continue. ya got me? obviously riolu ain't in the best condition. i realize that now. do ya need some medicine fer him or somethin'?"
her concern rose again for the blue creature, the girl have realizing that he might be more injured than she initially thought.
"frog..." java croaked, remaining stationary by his mistress's side.
intimidate - - lv.25 - - 100% - - tackle - - spark - - leer - - roar - - charge - - bite tanya was hit by earthquake! it was a critical hit! tanya has fainted! [ remember, switching in counts for one move! ]
