Give her some sun, won’t you, Bella?” She casts a glance behind her, and her Blaziken throws up a ball of solar energy, an artificial Sunny Day. “Appreciate it, B. You know what to do, Laila” The Liligant doesn’t need further instruction as she allows her body to soak up the sun, the Synthesis healing her body of what superficial wounds are left. Of course, all this bright light is bound to attract someone in this cave, but it’s not as if they ever intended to hide. Let them come to the light, and hopefully, they will be people or Pokemon who need it as much as they do. If they aren’t, then there is no loss either way. The team needs it after that rough encounter. Dahlia had always heard of the exceptional caliber of Hoenn’s trainers, and it seems that their skill do their reputation justice. “Get some rest, Bella” Dahlia starts doing some stretches, her back turned on her Blaziken. “You did well, and you deserve it.” She barely gets an opportunity to protest before Bellatrix is returned to her ball. “Do you need to go back too, Ralphy?” She dips into a crouch for her Raichu, and he shakes his head. Sparks dance about his cheeks as he starts an Agility. He is always ready for the next challenge, it seems. Or maybe it is a point of his pride to not be one of those who are sent back to their balls for rest. Her laugh is pleasant. “Do as you like” Dahlia’s fingers ghost over her last ball, plucking it from her belt. She plants a chaste kiss onto the red top and murmurs “No, not yet, darling. The wait will be worth it, I promise.” [style=font-family: tahoma; font-size: 9px; line-height: 9px; text-align: justify; color: dedede; padding: 15px;]words; 000 ▪ tags; --- ▪ notes; keep it short! just once for luck made by murk of gangnam style

[style=font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-transform: lowercase; letter-spacing: 5px; margin-top: 5px;]game on At least the bushes were thick this deep into victory road. Slowly the Kanto NOX agent had been making his way to the exit of victory road, which would lead him straight into the closed and crossed arms of the Pokemon League building. He had avoided most opportunities to face off with other trainers, conserving their strength, honestly they hadn't come here to battle, they'd come to destroy LUX's position of power in this city and in that, destroy LUX's position in this region. In the back of his mind wayward thoughts slipped up the storm drain and provoked him. Would helping Hoenn this way do anything for Kanto? Would he be able to continue to fight the good fight back home if no one from Hoenn offered their support to him? His face remained stoic as always in the war zone but under the surface the stress was building. Crimsen had come a long way and put his ass on the line for all of Hoenn, it would be unfortunate down the line if Hoenn never repaid that effort, that debt. As he neared his destination his eyes caught something that skewered his plans. A beautiful vixen with a fully evolved fire-starter from that very region. From the distance and victory road's lack of light he couldn't make her out all the way. She was a looker but on the battlefield a pretty face wasn't his Achilles heel. Was she NOX or LUX? He wanted to write her off as the latter. It was safer to assume everyone was the enemy. He could have been wrong though... he'd been wrong before. A nerve in his hand twitched as he saw her give orders to her fire-type and it used what could have only been SUNNY DAY

[/b]. The application of such a move was not lost on him and if this person was the enemy she was getting the upper hand on him. Attacking her if she was NOX would be counter-productive but asking her which side was on was a stupid idea.

He emerged from the bushes a bit angry at having to expose himself. He would have to throw his cards on the table to find out if she was friend or foe.

"You'll have to forgive me, I'm not sure of the protocol for war introductions in this region." In addition to the bipedal fire-bird there was also a grass type in their company. In Crimsen's mind an opposing team with fire-types plus sunny day meant a certain flame-tailed pokemon to the left of him gained the same benefits as the other team. However, grass-types plus sunny day meant certain moves would be boosted or more powerful and since he had no grass types this time, it was of no benefit to himself or his team to let that grass-type bask in a sunny day, if she was an enemy that is.

"I'm Crimsen from Kanto, and I'm here to destroy the Pokemon League building." Proclaiming his intentions wasn't exactly a giant leap better than asking her what side she was on but at least this way he was likely to get the truth in a faster manner.

To the right he whispered.... "Heal Block" and Ninton, his timid Shedinja took action and the quirky Charmeleon on his left sized up the other fire-type thoroughly. Stopping her team from being able to heal was an admittedly metapod move given he didn't know what side she was on but in the event that she was on the same side as him after all it was an easy fix, he would just have to stick with her and offer his help until the heal block wore off. If she was his opponent, then he'd simply taken his first swing.

Win-win.[/div][/style][/td][/tr]

I’m not familiar with ‘em either.” Although her stance is relaxed, her companions are another matter. Already, Leila is tense upon noticing the presence of a fire type. Her association with Bellatrix had eased some of her old scars, but the point of having them is that they never fade completely, no matter what the present holds.Ralphy’s cheeks are already sparkling, and Dahlia hopes that it means that their opponent is powerful, with the Charmeleon on his side. They are certainly interesting already. Seldom did she really see a Pokemon such as Shedinja in the Frontier, but it only serves to prove that a war could be something different from recreation. And then he says the words. “Oho?” Dahlia’s intrigue is peaking, and nothing will stop it once it starts. “That’s a pretty lofty goal you have there, Crim.” There is not a hint of mockery in her voice. “Might be a bit hard, but you look like you have a bit more determination than the others that I’ve met on my way here.” She wonders if what she seeks in her opponents burn as brightly in him as the flame of his Charmeleon’s tail. Dahlia hates disappointment more than anything else, as necessary of an evil that it is. Still, he’s promising. Anyone who can speak of destroying a Lux stronghold should be. She can only hope that Crimsen holds up. “I guess I’m supposed to stop you, then.” She sighs with the barest signs of a grin. “Let’s enjoy ourselves” The Heal Block is something unexpected, but not unprecedented. For a Frontier Brain who is so used to a full healing after every battle, Dahlia is still as apparently unconcerned as ever. Where’s the fun in coming to Ever Grande without a little risk? Managing the health of her Pokemon isn’t a wholly new experience after being invited over to the Battle Castle every now and then. If anything, it wouldn’t be a game if Dahlia had come while armed to the teeth with Sitrius berries and Moomoo milks. The Arcade Star is determined to keep it as such. “No worries, guys We’ve got this” She finally releases her final party member from the inside of its ball. The sight of Timothy’s white wings have an uplifting effect on both Ralphy and Leila. Jubilee Pokemon or not, he and Bellatrix are undoubtedly the foundation of the team. Courage and grace are indispensable to every one of them, and who else is better suited to represent the highest of virtues? “We’re here to have fun, aren’t we?” Just as Dahlia says the words, Timothy executes a clean Air Slash at the Shedinja at a plenty respectable speed. At this, morale seems to be significantly boosted as Ralphy races forward on the Agility boost from earlier. The Raichu smirks as he sends an Electro Ball in the Charmeleon’s direction. Determined to succeed despite type disadvantages, Leila hangs back as she executes her Quiver Dance ((ooc note: the blaziken was sent back to dahlia’s pokeball last post )) [style=font-family: tahoma; font-size: 9px; line-height: 9px; text-align: justify; color: dedede; padding: 15px;]words; 000 ▪ tags; --- ▪ notes; lou, plsplspls don't kill me for the scroll i kno im a hypocrite /sobs just once for luck made by murk of gangnam style

[style=font-size: 16px; text-align: center; text-transform: lowercase; letter-spacing: 5px; margin-top: 5px;]game on "...." It was uncanny how the mind processed information during the fight or flight response. She seemed so calm, so nonchalant about what lay before them. Her demeanor was one of the old days when battles were personal and to be enjoyed. When battles where just battles and a victory or loss didn't factor into a bigger war. If no interrupted Crimsen wondered if he could gather the focus to dance with this woman in a good-natured skirmish. In the name of war on LUX he'd come here to destroy, though not to kill. It was hard for the young gentleman to separate the two concepts at times. Every thing played out so slowly, he was able to command at his own pace. When she showed the whole of her team he back peddled a bit; didn't want to be too close to the action. A Togekiss took to the fight and somehow the whole battle felt a little larger in scale. He wasn't fighting youngsters and lasses in the backyard sections of his Kanto. He was waging war in a region he was not born to, helping his so-called allies and taking on other trainers with tactics and pokemon foreign to his home. It had been so long since he'd seen a Togekiss he'd forgotten until that very moment that he'd once wanted one for himself. She was right, this was something to be enjoyed... Air Slash...

[/color] and she was no novice, it would be an uphill battle if he sent a Shedinja after a flying-type. Ninton was timid but not a coward, if Crimsen ordered it into the fire it would gladly burn. "Ninton, Katon!"[/color]

The air slash was a problem for them all. Take the hit for a chance to attack or fall back to avoid damage. He supposed a little of each was better than all of one or the other but the

"Shadowball / Flamethrower that grass type!"[/color] It was a beautiful pokemon, her Lilligant, but not without a presence befitting a warrior. The first thing he'd seen her do was heal it. That mean it had been involved in her last battle. If it had been out this whole time and needed to be healed that meant it could have won and survived her last battle.

It could have been a powerhouse or one of her more obscure team members that just so happened to take a nasty blow in it's last battle. Regardless, no matter what it's purpose was on the battlefield Crimsen wasn't about to waste the sunny day she so graciously set up for him nor ignore his burning instinct to snuff out any type of pokemon weak to fire.

His two soldiers took aim and fired with the same precision they had come to show over the years and were in turn hit by the attacked they choose not flee from. The Air Slash hit the lot his team. Though they suffered the same attack, they did not suffer the same damage Ninton seemed more flustered by it while Katon just seemed angrier. Ninton's buggy body couldn't stand up to a flying move like Katon's could.

To deflect the incoming raichu and it's electric ball Crimsen threw a ball of his own, the pokemon it yielded scurried into the path of the attack meant for his flame-tailed teammate. With a frustrated and annoyed scream Raiton was forced into the battle to take the brunt of an attack. Meeting the eyes of the one who shocked him he almost went about exacting his revenge on his own but Crimsen's baritone changed his plans. "Rai... Thunderbolt the Togekiss!"[/color][/div][/style][/td][/tr]

Not everyone has the same sense of sport, and she supposes that she can respect that too. Never like, but respect. Timothy’s smile is kind, but there is a certain devilishness about him. Perhaps being hatched at a Game Corner has done that to him. There is no pride in being the first one to take down an opponent of theirs, since the battle has not yet been won. He knows that too well, which helps him react quickly when Lena is targeted by the other opponents. At breakneck speed, the Togekiss is able to intercept the Shadow Ball that is meant for his comrade, as well as the Flamethrower that could have meant a nasty burn. It probably hurts a fair bit, but the Togekiss doesn’t seem too bothered. He is their tank when it comes to special attacks, and the fire wasn’t bad enough to result in a longer-lasting burn. In retaliation, Timothy fires an Aura Sphere at the Charmeleon, knowing that his aim is true. The fact that they are battling in a cave only makes things predictable. The Thunderbolt is also intercepted by Lena, helped by her last Quiver Dance boost. She, too, brushes the momentary jolt aside in favor of her anger. The Petal Dance that she performs is beautiful, if only in her recklessness. The petals slice through the air, as if they are eager to slice into the other Raichu’s skin. Dahlia glances at Ralphy with a grin and sees that her own Raichu is straining not to look away from the display. Dahlia guesses that yesterday is the last day that the Raichu thinks about stealing the Liligant’s berries. Straining not to show uneasiness, Ralphy contributes his Light Screen, probably hoping to mollify the Lilligant later on. Which has a fifty-fifty chance of working, depending on whether she blames him for not putting up the wall earlier. Not that it matters. The show isn’t over until the last dancer is down.
