Since dawn, the young boy has been climbing from the base of this particular mountain in the Coronet Range. It's become a trend, really, start at dawn to either climb his way up or down a mountain by hand, along the way battling any trainer or pokemon he sees. He wants to be stronger. He wants to fight. He wants to win. That can only be attained through hard work. Hugh sighs and plops his forehead in his hands. "I can only train if theres someone to train against," the boy grumped to the Riachu by his side. It made a small sound of either condolence or impatience before patting his arm slightly. "What?" He turns to look at it, only for it's brown eyes to stare back unblinkingly. "Right, right." he murmurs, "Complaining won't get me anywhere." He leans back against the side of the mountain, stretching his legs out onto the plateau on the side of the mountain where he rests, "...but continuing climbing will. Just after I get my breath back." For someone who isn't used to climbing mountains, he's been moving at a sprint.

[style=width:350px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right:10px; text-align:justify;][rs=2] The first indication that something may have been happening was when the birds fell quiet. The second was the dull grating noise. It was the low grind of earth and stone being forced apart, cracking in one place and compacting into itself in another to compensate. The crack approached, cresting a ridge. It was a broad, deliberate thing that emitted the distinct golden glow of an Earth Power attack. Then the head of the Nidoking forming it came into view, its gaze intent on the fissure. Beside it was a young man, his attention just as focused. "Don't let it splinter. You need to keep it straight if you're going to have any control over it. If you can't control it, you're wasting our time." They'd been working on this all morning and Batu was getting tired, despite his best efforts. It was slow work, and laborious to keep the fracture from opening up the easier and softer paths through imperfections in the earth. Batu noticed Hugh and the Raichu and all was lost. He growled. The crack split, spidering out in forks like a lightning strike before it halted. Hadrian was about to snap off a reprimand when he saw the kid too. Another trainer. Had to be. Kids didn't come out here with pets, and no pet looked like that Raichu did. It was healthy, fit, strong. "You," he addressed the boy. "Want to fight?" Batu took the opportunity to lower himself to all fours and stretch out his legs a bit, his whole body had been tense with the effort to maintain the Earth Power.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style,width: 450px; cellpadding:0; cellspacing:0;,true][atrb=style,width:75%;] Their relatively peaceful rest is disturbed when Hugh feels vibrations through...well...his butt. Sitting on the ground, that's the first thing that would feel anything different. Elektra senses it as well, her ears and tail twitching as she hops on the other side of Hugh, wary eyes staring down the path the source of the vibrations is coming from. Hugh turns, too, to look upon the man and his Nidoking that were disturbing the quiet Coronet mountainside. His red eyes glare at the pokemon when it growled, before snapping his less-than-happy gaze to the trainer that speaks to him. A challenge? For a battle? Perfect. Hugh's mouth curls into a smirk, and he practically jumps to his feet. It's just the opportunity he was complaining about the lack of. "Alright." He jerks his head to the plateau of an area around them. "This should be fine. Three-on-three good with you?" Without waiting for a response, he beckons his Riachu to follow him to one side of the plateau where he will wait for his opponent to stand opposite him.

[style=width:350px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right:10px; text-align:justify;][rs=2] He doesn't look back at the Nidoking to consult his condition. It's Batu's problem. If Batu can't shake it off a morning of work he'll learn, and sometimes learning is hard and it sucks. He'll get no sympathy from Hadrian. "Good." Hadrian's not one to waste time talking when there's a fight to be had. "Batu will be my first." The Nidoking lumbers forward, tail lashing slowly form side to side with as much menace as he can put behind the motion, head bowed forward to bring his horn to bear. They wait.
