It kept beating against her chest. Lub-dub. Lub-dub. It sounded a little silly, but those two valves kept going at an accelerated rate. The constant beating was because Lyra was nervous, and it was safe to say she was on the verge of a panic attack. Being in the middle of the Great Marsh, on the verge of a battle didn't help her nerves that much. Oh sure a few days ago when Lyra signed up to join Lux, it seemed like it would be fun and games. She thought she would be some big and awesome hero that avenged Goldenrod, but Lyra wasn't feeling like that anymore. It had something to do with being in the middle of the Great Marsh, on the verge of a battle. This would be Lyra's first real battle in the war, during Goldenrod she cowered inside the Daycare with her Grandparents. Huddled with her Grandparents, Lyra could see Goldenrod topple through the window. Would Pastoria be like Goldenrod? Full of sheer of destruction? Would she rob someone of their homes like Nox did in Goldenrod? Lyra gulped. With every ounce of her strength she tried to push those thoughts away. She had to be a hero... She just had to be... Blinking Lyra finally managed to come back into the real world. "Blerg." The Johto trainer had just realized she somehow got separated from the troop she was assigned to. Looking around Lyra tried to canvas the surrounding area. There was no one around. No one in that pretty little Lux uniform that the breeder was wearing. So Lyra was all alone in a strange foreign land, and probably surrounded by enemies. But there was something with Lyra, a sound. Lub-dub. Lub-dub.

Asie from what most people held in their minds, the swamp was quite... Charming. Serene, calm, not a place that seems suited for a battle, or to have blood shed upon it's seemingly hallowed ground. But... Battle wasn't too scary, right? Lucilien slowly proceeded forward, listening carefully as the sound of bugs and small pokemon echoed softly through, no footsteps besides his own, his troops, however, were nervous. Tacticians reveled in unfamiliar places, naturally, but those grunts, simple soldiers, always seemed oh so... Terrified. Of battle, but most of all, and unfamiliar place; one that may even become their grave.

But Lucilien hadn't died yet; and the Knight of the Nox movement marched on.

The troop of Nox soldiers slowly marched behind him, as he raised his hand and motioned for them to carry on without him. They didn't need him, he was assured they were competent trainers, and he watched as they faded into the swamp. Luciilien grinned slightly, as he stood alone in the swamp, dressed in civilian clothes.

Unclipping a pokeball from his belt, he looked at it for a few seconds before releasing his Blastoise. "You and I boy." Glancing around, there seemed to be a few still bodies of water, just deep enough for this simple plan to work. "Elias, submerge yourself, but just beneath the surface." The pokemon grunted, slowly sinking into the puddle, his shell not visible but lingering just beneath the surface.

If he needed his other pokemon today, he'd call on them, but for now he would be patient, and wait for the poor Lux to wander his way, as he stood atop Elias' shell. It was always a joy to test out new strategies, even though this one deviated from his normality, in the nature of it's deceptiveness.

Not that it mattered,

A voice. slight but there, echoed through the small area he had claimed;
and a girl came into his sight, upon her skin the sign of the enemy. I'm sorry. he thought, wishing it had been an older soldier, someone not so young.

"Isn't it dangerous to be out here alone?" He spoke just so she could hear, not wanting to draw any that might be near her. He waited for a response, lingering for what seemed to be quite some time.

Then he tapped Elias twice, upon his back. And from the water burst the Blastoise, Lucilien jumping behind him as he fired a hydro pump directly at the girl.

And still, he felt bad for this.
