andrea eyed the creature with an obvious show of interest. she always had a soft spot for such a pokemon. A pity her electric-type slot was already taken up by another.
"alright, guess i'll pick her, then."
she reached toward her belt, and plucked a capsule that had been branded with a lightning bolt symbol. tossing it into the field, she revealed her selected pokemon to be none other than a luxio. the creature stood tall, lids slightly lowered and her frown apparent as she peered in the pikachu's general direction.
"lux."
andrea took a moment to consider her strategy. julius was a clever motherfucker. and she should take this match seriously when dealing with him. he likely had something under his sleeve. luxio were renown for their powerful physical attacks, and so she would be wielding that to her advantage.
"tackle! twice!"
the pokemon lunged forward with a snarl, baring her teeth as she threw her weight toward the creature.

Julius grinned at Andrea's approval of his pokemon, said as aptly as only Andrea could say something. "You and him would get along, I think," he hollered over to her side of the make-shift arena, one of the passing comments made before the zone of the battle took over. Zwei's pouches were, as always, overflowing with electrcity and giddy sparks. The pikachu was smirking as wolfishly as Andrea was, and had all fours pressed firmly into the ground.
The Luxio that came out didn't surprise Julius- it seemed like Andrea's spirit animal, to be honest. A perfect match. Zwei buzzed to life as the Luxio came forward, leaping ahead of the opponent with a quick attack so fast you could hardly see it, and instead you had to rely on the whipping sound of air being misplaced.
After the blurr, the damage done by the tackle was apparent, and the Pikachu was knocked back. It used the momentum to roll on the dirt so it travelled less and was hurt less. Julius felt the familiar rush of excitement tingle through his body.
"Alright, try and confuse 'em, Zwei." The pikachu promptly stood up on two feet and rushed beside the Luxio, only to get knocked back by the tackle. Instead of retaliating, the pokemon whined and kicked, getting up with a slightly bruised body. It sent a flying kiss towards the Luxio, winking to confuse and maybe potentially create an opening.

"oh, really?"
andrea cast the male an amused look.
"we'll see how he holds up, yeah?"
the luxio snarled as her body made contact, leaping backward only to grow somewhat imbalanced as the rat proceeded to slam into her with a quick attack. it did little, her sturdy body assisting her significantly as she took the single strike. but she batted at the air in a confused motion, her claws unsheathed as she blinked rapidly, bewilderment clouding her gaze. she never faced a speedy pokemon before, and would likely be forced to adjust to the creature's pacing.
"dodge!"
the kiss that had been cast into the air flung over the pokemon's shoulder as she hunkered down - another snarl forming as a look of discontent formed as the pikachu proceeded to wink.
"lux..."
"ya know what to do! knock 'em down!"
the creature sprung forward, once again wielding her bulk against the electric mouse. her features remained serious and even considerably stoic - but her eyes reflected a genuine show of enjoyment as she partook in the battle.

The instant after Andrea made the comment of how well the pikachu would hold up, Julius knew he wasn't going to hold up all too well. The pikachu looked hurt easily by the the two quick tackles, and as much as Zwei would always pretend like he was fine, Julius had learnt quickly how to see past his pikachu's debonair confidence.
"Zwei, hang in there! Dodge it out!" The pikachu rolled out of the way of one of the tackles, the sand sticking to his fur. He didn't bother shaking it off, but instead turned around as fast as possible to face the Luxio, happy smile still plastered to his face.
The Luxio began a second charge, and Julius tensed, almost like the attack was going to hit him and not his pokemon. "Zwei, blow for blow, block it with a quick attack!"
The electric mouse nodded once before blurring into the air yet again, harsh yellow striking on dark indigo. Zwei's attack made up for in speed what it lacked in power, but the collison was so great that, at the end of it, the smaller pokemon was left fainted on the floor. Julius winced, and pulled from his belt another pokeball.
He tossed out En, which was definitely a wince-worthy match up for an electric type, but at the very least he had some semblance of a plan in his mind. The zubat flapped her wings continuously, zigzagging around Julius with uneven, unpredictable beats. "Confuse it!" Julius ordered, hoping to Arceus the unreliable attack would hit.

"lux."
the pokemon retreated a step as she acknowledged that the mouse had fallen to her barrage of attacks. but she winced somewhat, having been dealt a parting blow that resulted in a dull throbbing.
"ya all good, girl?"
"lux!"
"then we're ready fer another round, yeah?"
both andrea and tanya licked their lips in anticipation, awaiting yet another challenge that would test their skills. a pity that they would have none of that - at least it appeared as though they wouldn't.
"huh."
the luxio bared her teeth at the fluttering bat, her intentions clear as she stepped closer.
"it's got wings," andrea said, lamely.
her expression was flat.
"okay."
as the zubat was commanded to cast a super sonic, andrea clapped her hands, a smile returning to her features.
"dodge it!"
the luxio preformed a simple manuver wielding her build to her advantage as she darted away from the barely visible rays of distorted air that would likely befuddle her mind.
"spark!"
the pokemon produced a surge of energy, directing it toward the bat.
"another!"
tanya repeated the action, gladly.

"Quite an observation," Julius noted, nodding at Andrea with a smile. He knew she wouldn't think much of En to begin with- though she was a formidable contender, her skills were hardly much against an electric type.
En hissed as the battle command was issued, Julius having to say nothing as the bat moved around the spark, maneuvers hyper fast in nature and highly unpredictable. However all that dancing around was cut short when a spark did manage to find its mark, and the Zubat was sent spiraling to the ground. Julius winced mutely, but quickly regained confidence when the damaged wings managed to flutter a little again.
"You good?" He asked, and the Zubat flied higher in response. "Alright, once more!" The zubat created a high pitched noise that even Julius had to cover his ears at, launching another super sonic wave at the enemy. It then moved in the opposite direction and attempted to bite at the shinx from the back, dark energy gathering at her fangs.

"holy shit. that didn't take it down?"
andrea was both surprised and a little impressed by the young bat. especially since luxio was superior in every way when it came to both enduring and dishing out damage. with a shrug, the gal left it be, deciding against questioning it any further.
"l-lux..."
the pokemon staggered about, unable to keep steady on her feet as her mind refused to cooperate.
"lux! l-lux!"
andrea looked on, her face twisting to reflect her irritation at her pokemon's state. there was little that could be done about it. so she merely shrugged and somewhat hesitantly called out a command after the zubat had bit down on the pokemon.
"spark!"
luxio's attempted strike resulted in nothing good.
"lux!"
"keep trying!"
the pokemon fired another off as she stumbled, the energy meant to strike the other.

Julius was surprised, too. He was still believing the bat would fall down any moment now, and the power house of a Luxio would drag his whole team down. He had even gone as far as to bring his hand onto the pokeball that enclosed Zero, on the verge of bringing him out. But En persevered, and Julius was happy.
Even happier now that the Luxio seemed to have lost all sense of reason. But it wasn't over yet- the bat still struggled, fluttering here and there to avoid the haywire sparks buzzing from the Luxio, ones that became even more random thanks to the shrill noise the bat had given off earlier.
After the barrage of sparks was over, the bat paused in the air, trying to regain breath for a bit, before going in for a bite, aiming at the vitals or near the eyes to make the opposing pokemon flinch. It needed all the force it could get to take down the enemy, but in the end, the bites were far less aggressive and less powerful thanks to all the fatigue.
In Julius's hands, the pokeball containing his rotom swirled and danced, eager to be used.

"tch."
with the curl of her lip forming a dissatisfied sneer, andrea produced the luxio's capsule. the pokemon had fainted under the numerous bites and had collapsed to her side with a low grunt.
"i expected more," she said.
once luxio was returned, the coordinator sighed.
"guess ya did yer best, though." she reasoned.
andrea reached toward her belt, brows furrowing slightly as she carefully considered what she should use against zubat. when she did, she nodded.
"sheeva!"
the small dragoness appeared, her narrowed eyes peering in the zubat's direction.
"bagon!" she shouted, waving a small paw.
the small creature appeared to be addressing julius, a happy look forming as she took notice to the familiar human male.
"ready, girl?"
"bag!" she replied, nodding her head.
"dragon breath! give 'em a double dose!"
"bagon!"
the pokemon opened her maw wide, and a mighty gust of pure energy was launched toward the bat. this was quickly followed by another, the power behind the attack only increasing somewhat as sheeva grew more eager to show off her prowess as a fighter.

Julius let out a breath of relief as the Luxio went down, but he knew that it would be even harder starting from now since En was practically guaranteed to faint. The bagon that appeared was a pokemon Julius remembered from the night they had danced together, and memories of that made him smile a little.
En gave out a caw of displeasure at being faced with so many opponents, but fainted as soon as the purple flames were unleashed. Julius clicked his tongue and pulled En back using her pokeball, and debated for a little bit on who to use next. With two of his more favored pokemon gone, he thought about it for a bit, If he brought out Cirque, she'd be weaker in raw power. But the type advantage was too good to miss, and Zero would be weak against the dragon with his electric attacks doing next to nothing. Julius hummed a little before deciding.
He tossed out the pokeball of his rotom, the familiar figure buzzing as noisily as ever as he took his place next to Julius, excited to get on with the fight. Julius nodded, and the rotom took to the field, levitating effortlessly over the mostly plain ground. As soon as it had analyzed its competitor, Rotom began emitting a terrible noise- a huge uproar took effect, the clanging of plates and the buzzing of machines together in a wicked cacophony.
Julius nodded, smiling. "Good! Avoid using electric attacks for a while," he instructed, watching for what would happen.

"b-bagon!"
the dragoness crouched, visibly suffering as she was forced to deal with the raging uproar that assaulted her eardrums and resulted in a throbbing headache.
"bagon!"
andrea covered her own ears.
"holy shit!"
"bagon!"
both coordinator and pokemon shook their heads before they regained some semblance of focus.
"dragon breath!"
the dragon-type neared the rotom, rushing forward. her mouth opened wide, her intention clear as she began to exude the powerful energy.
"well if it ain't zero," andrea called. "last time we battled he fucked over my froakie real good."
the memory of that battle was still fresh in her mind.
"another!"
sheeva obeyed, releasing yet another harsh breath-attack toward the rotom.

Julius's voice could hardly be heard ver the deafening uproar, but he could hear Andrea's voice loud and clear. She shouted with efficiency, as strange as that was, and he found himself smirking at the words. Their first battle felt like decades ago- back when the strange raven haired coordinator was dragging him all around the place, and when they;d gotten into a fist fight the day prior. He chuckled to himself, wondering what had led to what.
"Oh, yeah?" he asked, energy filling his tone. "Java's still kicking, is he? I'm sure the two would love a rematch!" The shouts seemed to get lost in the momentary uproar, but that soon faded, allowing for some stillness as the Rotom attempted to maneuver wildly and dodge the coming purple flames. The breath attack licked at the ghosts body as the dual type vanished, only to reappear where the next shot was supposed to land.
"Tch. Alright Zero, show them a double team!"
The ghost type buzzed, annoyed, and then quickly began creating copies of himself, faster and faster, the little rotom-duplicates seemed to surround the whole arena, leaving the Bagon the sower of the two. It was a recently learned trick, and Julius was impressed the ghost caught on so easily.
After the double team, the ghost type would send out a paralyzing wave of electricity, to both slow the opponent down, and possibly render it unable to move. The fact that the rotom's movements seemed sped up only made it more difficult to dodge.
