Earlier in the week, Calvin had discovered a notice board that advertises all kinds of wonderful things - including TM owners. There was one that rather intrigued him, one trainer was offering to teach a pokemon so long as she got to battle them... That offer Calvin could not decline. He had got in touch with her and was requested to meet her here... In Route 102.
It was mid day and Calvin was sitting on a bench watching his Zorua try and fish out a pecha berry that was bobbing up and down in the stream. For some reason, Flaws hated getting his fur all wet and soggy - Calvin didn't blame him to be honest. THe young man was now getting rather impatient, where was she? She's had a weeks notice so surely she should have been here first. He closed his eyes and took in the suns rays, when he slowly opened them, he saw a shadow walking towards him by the horizon.
andrea eyed her recently purchased wristwatch, the timepiece indicating that she was, indeed, very late.
"whatever," she said, shrugging.
she had been contacted a week prior, and the coordinator had arranged for the battle to occur at this very moment. shaking her head, she hurried along, her snubbull serving as her secondary companion for this trip. her poochyena resided in its capsule, prepped for its battle.
"snu-bbull."
"almost there, girl. want me ta carry ya?"
the fairy shook her head, her narrowed eyes shifting away from her mistress to instead focus on a distant figure that resided on a sturdy bench.
"yo!"
andrea waved, and hurried to greet the male whom had contacted her.
"uh... calvin, right?"
"snub!"
the pink canine moved to approach the zorua, greeting it with a sharp bark.
"yer wantin' the tm dark pulse fer yer pokemon here?"
andrea eyed the dark-type curiously, a smile on her face.
Calvin stayed seated on the bench while the ugly pink dog thing came running over to Zorua. Calvin looked up at the woman, squinting in the sun light, "Yes. I am Calvin... and you're late."
He said the last bit with a cheeky grin on his face, yet with a hint of annoyance in his voice - one of the best things to confuse a person. "So, TM dark pulse. I understand you wish to fight me and my lil bud Flaws here, would you like me to go first or...?"
~Please let this be over quickly!~ He really couldn't stand waiting around all day, he had to be busy and do something with his life. He had to make every second count, he had to! He rubbed Flaws between the ears and watched as the berry bobbed up and down in the river.
the pink pokemon returned to her mistress's side, peering curiously up at the male human.
"yup," she replied, shrugging. "sorry fer that. i was in mauville city when ya called originally."
dismissing the subject regarding her lateness, she decided to focus on the battle plans that were being lain out.
"zorua don't look too experienced," andrea muttered, eying the fox with a critical eye. "it was either gonna be my snubbull or poochyena facin' it dependin' on its power. those are the only two i brought along, ya see."
"snub!"
there was an eager glint in the fairy's eyes.
"poochyena it is, then. yer free ta start. c'mon girl, over here."
"snub!"
andrea ushered her poochyena into the field, ferra wagging her tail as she peered at her selected opponent.
run away - - lv.10 - - 100% tackle - - bite - - howl - - sand attack ferra is on standby!
Zorua giggled happily when the poochyena was sent out. It looked fairly tough, but there was still a small chance of Flaws winning. Calvin made some distance between him and Andrea , a perfect place to fight, a grassy route right by a river. Calvin stretched out his arms and inhaled, then exhaled and brought his arms back to his side. Licking his lips, he held out his arm, "Ok Flaws, lets sharpen things up a bit! Hone claws, make it double!"
It was a new strategy Calvin had in mind, boost attack then strike hard and fast. His Zorua proceeded the move whilst doing that sinister laugh he does when he has a plan in mind. Oh this was going to be good.
Flaws was keeping a good eye on that poochyena as he sharpened those sharp little claws of his. Man this was gonna do some damage, he giggled to himself while watching his little claws get sharper and sharper. He couldn't wait to start scratching!
both andrea and her snubbull looked on as the man took on a strategy-based approach. it was a solid tactic, but, poochyena more of an advantage due to past experience. and that caused things to shift in her favor, naturally.
"we're gonna go on the offensive," andrea instructed.
the canine's ears twitched, alert as she eyed the fox as he prepped himself for a future attack.
"i want ya ta use tackle!"
charging forward, the dark-type thrust her lean figure toward the fox.
"follow it up with another!"
a snarl escaped the female, her intent clear as she rushed to collide with the small body of the male fox.
"let's see how long ya can last, lil' fox," andrea muttered, a smile on her face.
run away - - lv.10 - - 100% tackle - - bite - - howl - - sand attack ferra used tackle! ferra used tackle!
The first moments of a battle were always the most important, Calvin kept a close eye on everything at the beginning, then the rest would come naturally. As the enemy dark-type came bounding towards Flaws for an attack, Calvin stood there and waited, best now then never. The poochyena had smashed right into Flaws, sending him toppling over, followed by another tackle into him. Flaws knew the tactic, he gritted his teeth through the pain - he was a tough cookie.
Now was the moment to attack, Zorua's accuracy was up and they were in close range, it would be exceptionally hard for Poochyena to dodge. "Use hone claws and then use scratch!"
Flaws did as he said, sharpening those claws another time and swiping outwards towards poochyena.
Zorua was knocked back by the blow of the two tackles, winding him slightly, but he got back on his feet. With another quick sharpen, Flaws was ready...
~Aw yisss! This is gonna hurt!~
Flaws slashed downwards towards the poochyena, aiming for his torso. Flaws would be very surprised if he dodged, after all, his aim was super duper high!
flaws was hit by tackle x2! flaws used hone claws! flaws used scratch!

the poochyena took pause, maintaining a certain level of focus as the canine observed her target. he once again sharpened his claws, likely intending to wield them against her very soon. so when he lunged forward, the dark-type wasn't caught completely off guard.
"dodge it!"
the pokemon pranced away, her eyes remaining sharp as she detected her foe's agile motions.
"now, tackle!"
due to her maintaining a close proximity to the creature, ferra took full advantage, fierce as she moved to collide with the male of similar typing.
"good! keep it up! wear him down!"
andrea watched on, decisively taking on an offensive approach to this whole ordeal.
run away - - lv.10 - - 100% tackle - - bite - - howl - - sand attack ferra dodged scratch! ferra used tackle! ferra used tackle!
"Damn, a miss." muttered Calvin as he clenched his fist slightly.
The poochyena was fast, nimble, but at the same time, it was rather brutal with its attacks and left targets wide open to be attacked. Calvin knew the poochyena would do its best to avoid Flaws, but he didnt think she would. He also got the idea that this poochyena liked fighting close and personal and Calvin was ready for it.
"Dodge it! Then use scratch!" he shouted quickly and confidently.
Flaws, jumped to the left, out of the way of tackle but got quickly tackled again. As the poochyena went past him, he would lash out with a scratch, it would be rather hard to dodge while your practically mid air.
"Now use scratch again!" shouted Calvin.
Once again, Flaws leaped at the poochyena and clawed at him.

clicking her tongue, she observed as the zorua wielded his superb grace in order to effectively dodge the tackle. poochyena released a pained noise as she was struck by pointed claws after only managing to avoid one. a growl escaped her afterward, her aggressive state triggering as she prepared to respond to the assault with her own.
"pooch!"
"use tackle again, girl!"
the canine lunged forward, her teeth bared as she did so.
"snub."
"hm?"
andrea glanced at her fairy, the creature looking on with interest as the dark-type pokemon moved at a furious pace and lunged at one another. there was an excited gleam in jacqui's eye that left her owner chuckling.
run away - - lv.10 - - 79% tackle - - bite - - howl - - sand attack ferra dodged scratch! ferra was hit by scratch! ferra used tackle! ferra used tackle!

OUR FLAWS LAY HAND IN HAND
Flaws was doing his very best at fighting this poochyena, jumping side to side and scratching as often as he could. But it still wasn't enough, even with his attack boosted rather high, it didn't seem like it was doing anything (which Calvin thought was rather odd).
Poochyena then started running towards Flaws again, luckily, Zorua jumped to the side, well out of the way of the first tackle. But then the hound pokemon swivelled around quickly and tackled Zorua from behind, sending him skidding across the floor.
"OK Flaws! Keep using scratch! And dont miss this time!" shouted Calvin, in a rather icy tone.
Flaws looked rather angry as well, he darted forwards, jumping up and pushing himself off a tree trunk, he would swipe forwards with his sharp claws and aim to scratch poochyena rather violently.
the girl observed her opponent, a hint of curiosity entering her cerulean gaze as she gauged his reactions to her brutish tactics. he responded to her approach with his own, allowing for his dark-type to lash out at the poochyena who yelped and released a series of frantic whines as claws dug into her flesh.
the pokemon retreated a couple of steps, her legs wobbly as visibly she struggled to comprehend the extensive damage she had taken from her foe. she panted, pawed at the earth in a restless motion, and blinked.
"ferra?"
the pokemon's ear twitched in response to her name.
"keep up with what we were goin' with," she instructed.
a low rumbly noise escaped the canine before she lunged forward.
run away - - lv.10 - - 43% tackle - - bite - - howl - - sand attack ferra was hit by scratch! ferra was hit by scratch! ferra used tackle! ferra used tackle!

OUR FLAWS LAY HAND IN HAND
He had to admit, this was a pretty good fight.
The two dark types were having one heck of a scrap, clawing, biting and smashing their weight into each other - it was a wonderful sight to behold. The two tackles smashed into Flaws as if the Poochyena was made of iron, Calvin thought that that was the end, that Flaws had lost. He sighed, looking down at his poor injured pokemon...
~Wait! he's still standing!~
Flaws was barely concious, he struggled to his feet, covered in bruises and scratches, a smear of blood going up his shiny grey coat.Without hesitating, Calvin ordered probably his last command for this fight, "Now Flaws! Rip that pokemon apart!"
Flaws screamed with rage, a horrible blood curdling scream that Calvin had never heard before. Then, with an incredible speed, Flaws launched himself at the Poochyena, claws and fangs bared...
