Beach Vibes [Open/Wild]

[Vince Moore]

it was too nice of a day not to come out to the beach, vince had decided when he woke up early for once. the sun filtered through his window and gently roused him before his past noon alarm. not needing to go to work until later and having unusual energy first thing in the morning had caused the man to pack a bag full of snacks, sunblock and a beach towel as he grabbed a train to kordylia city.

the warm sun excited his three pokemon as they would get off the platform and make their way onto the hot sand. "now this is living!" vince would cry out happily as he made his way to an empty spot beneath a very large coconut tree. unpacking his bag he set up a rather nice little spot to chill out on. the large beach towels offered him room to sprawl out on. applying sunblock he waved his hand dismissively at his three pokemon who were anxiously watching their trainer, waiting for the chance to be told 'go play.'

and with that being granted the trio of pokemon would make their way towards the water, intent on splashing in the cool surf.

“W-wait you a-” He stopped to look to his left.

“D-don’t do-” He would then look to his right.

“That is not-” He just...stopped!

This was not unusual for the violet haired trainer. Let alone the attire that was slightly different than most. Long flowing violet hair would spill from underneath a straw hat that was bound by a tint of purple that was as mysterious as night, although vibrant underneath the sunlight. The young trainer was busy reaching out his delicate little fingers prompting for the Pokemon that were on the beach sands left to right leaping and scattering about. In particular, there were the set of five Pokemon that he was trying to keep under control.

The few people who were on the beach were staying clear of the sight of his Pokemon he was attempting to handle. The Lopunny and all her energy was letting out screams and cries like a banshee. She would leap from one place to the next, unhampered by the sand as it was chasing around the brown fuzzy fox-like Pokemon. The Eevee that was on the other end of this was screaming and crying about. It was a gentle touch, and even as a Buneary, she always strongly disliked this. So she would take moments like this to toughen it up! Chasing it as she would try to fight it!

“Bun-chan! Stop!” Orchid would cry meekly, “I-I told you, Eve-chan does not like to fight! There is no one that considers that as relaxing as y-”

Before he could finish that sentence, his shame would show. The Bounsweet that was a fan of the Lopunny’s violent ways, for some reason or another, would bounce behind the Pokemon. Orchid could never understand the thoughts of the Pokemon to have the violent rabbit as a role model. But there was it: bouncing cheerfully like a rubber ball coming to life chasing the Lopunny and cheering it on. At this point, the little Eevee once again had tears in its eyes as it called for the only Pokemon that it knew for all its years.

“Owl-san!” Orchid would call out. His thin woven slippers stamping in the sand, “You have to save Eve-ch-”

That was right! He almost forgot!

The Dartrix was a strong quiet one. It never disturbed anyone, and was probably a Pokemon that could match the Lopunny in intelligence to meet its strength. However, there was another: The Scyther that he released from the ball to have a little fun for once. The Mantis Pokemon was standing perfectly still, as was the Dartrix that was standing across from it. Its wings were crossed, and its leaf-like quills were jutting from its wings in a jagged manner. They were almost like kunai in a ninja’s fingers ready to be tossed. The Scyther, a samurai in its own way, had a still posture and form as it crossed its scythes.

They were both looking for the other one to make the first move to start their showdown. One single inch! The slightest rise of the chest would set them off!
“You two are ridiculous…”

Even the comment did not break the Pokemon’s standoff as they stared at one another. It had been obvious that the Eevee was the only Pokemon that actually knew how to loosen up or had some sick idea of what it meant to have fun. Orchid would fold his arms as the vein bulged from his temple. His eyes shutting as he would try to gather his thoughts. The Pokemon continued to continue their chaos on the beach as pedestrians were sure to pass by or just make awkward waves that the trainer would return.

“What to do about this?” His blue eyes would open as he begun to pout. His eyes gone to the other trainers and their Pokemon with hints of envy.
His kimono a bright white instead of his usual adoring purple colors. The silk cut to the knees as he had looked to feel the wind and relax...but that did not seem like the case today.

[Vince Moore]

vince had fallen asleep the moment his body hit the beach towel and he couldn't find a hint of shame in such an act. even as his pokemon were left unattended on the large beach the man was out cold. he had always found the beach a relaxing place where he could unwind. no one here was judged for their choice in clothing, although he had chosen to wear a pair of swim shorts created by a rather famous designer.

his trio of pokemon had hit the shore line pretty quickly. terra would quickly dig a hole and lay in the damp sand, allowing the cool water to run over her body as each wave rushed by, only her head sitting above the sand. ignis and claves were in the water, splashing each other like small children, their laughter echoing off the shore.

the trio would look towards the beach at the sounds of a battle ensuing a trainer calling after the pokemon to stop. it wasn't often they would see such a team that seemed so strong as they faced each other in a stand off and an active battle. each of vince's pokemon would stop what they were doing to inch closer to see what would happen between the Lopbunny and eevee and the two pokemon who stood completely still - a silent standoff.

vince of course was dead to the world, unaware of the noise of the fights until Orchid would stop just a mere hair away from his towel and mutter to himself. the sound of the boy's voice would rouse him from his sleep. with a yawn he would sit up, ready to tell whomever was messing with his snooze to shove off to another part of the beach when his eye's met orchid's exotic clothing.

instantly his anger at being awoken was forgotten as he grinned at the white haired man. "that's an amazing kimono you've got on. who designed it? was it solrock and co.?" He asked excitedly before his eyes shifted towards where orchid was looking.

"is that your team?" vince asked, dusting sand off his arms as he stood up. "they look hella strong. i'm sorta jealous, my three are over somewhere. your lopbunny reminds me of my chimchar. he's always trying to fight everything when we go out. it's a real pain sometimes but he's my strongest on the team."

the commotion on the beach would cause two wild pokemon too come forth, also interested in the battle and stand off that was happening.

“Oh!” World famous phrase of the young violet haired boy as he would notice the boy he had disturbed. “I-I mean...o-oh!” His eyes would gaze over his clothing. As usual, most of them were from the same creator. Solrock and Co. were not one of them. From the sound of it, the distributor was from another region. Most likely had not to do with Celadon Couteur or anything alike. With his eyes going to the young boy, his fingers slipping the cloth between them, he massaged it in almost resentful manner.

“N-no. I-It’s a…” his face souring, “Ecruteak Original.” The Kimono girls had fashions unlike any from the regions. Their profits only boosted by their chances to have trainers battle their Pokemon during and even after the shows. Young Orchid felt like it was a curse as he would marvel at it even now. It had a sweet memory to it with an unkindly guest that was within it. Nonetheless, it did not keep him wondering forever as, fortunately, the young man’s enthuse would drive him over his reminiscing.

“O-oh! T-them?” World famous phrase as he looked to the Pokemon once more. The violet haired boy would look to his Pokemon. The color draining from his face once more as he noticed the Pokemon still in their square offs and participating in their shenanigans. “They are strong...for their own good.” The last part muttered as his blue jewels would sway from the sight of the boy. Obviously the Pokemon gave him grief, and it was apparent to anyone that would see them. They came from the wilds with their own strength, and it did little to help their attitudes. 

There would be a break in the conversation as there had been something that arrived on the sands. A Crab-like Pokemon would crawl from behind one of the stationary rocks that were on the beach. The other would seem to look like a rock, but turned out to be a strange hulking stone. The small Pokemon shifted across the sand like a slug, alarming Orchid who would quickly jump back.

“H-hey, everyone!” A hopeless cry as he would see the Pokemon all still caught in their unfinished business. There was only one Pokemon that certainly stopped and give Orchid her attention. The small beady eyes blinking as he would cast his right hand out. The Ofurisode sleeves like a flag as it beat the sea breeze. “Sweety-chan!” He called out to the Grass-Type Pokemon, “Fight that Pokemon!”

His order would be absolute as the Bounsweet would turn to face the Pyukumuku. The Fruit Pokemon would spin her body around. The Pokemon let loose a colorful bunch of leaves that would fly true like arrows to the Water Pokmeon that was suddenly struck by the attack. The Pokemon had seemed to respond more in pain than anything. Flung back, it would roll about until finally tossing itself on the bottom of its body. The Pokemon would then inflate its body, blowing out a burst of water that splashed the Bounsweet and drench it.

“Was that Soak?” Orchid asking a question he already knew. The Pokemon not using an attack move was surprising. It made the violet haired boy wonder. “Sweety-chan, quick!” Orchid would cry, “Finish it off!” He would cry as the Pokemon would spin around. Another flurry of leaves flying about as they would race over the small Pokemon. It would fall and faint, finally lay in the sand topple as Orchid would blow out a sigh of relief.

..that was, until the Pokemon would burst out a strange fluid.

"Is that...some kind of an ability?" The water Pokemon almost self-destructing after its defeat, spewing out a strange mucus that covered and damaged the Bounsweet. Orchid would gasp in shock, until that small Pokemon would jump up excited. It seemed to enjoy the sudden shock more than be deterred.

At least one of the Pokemon was dependable.

Orchid would raise his hand, ready to call to one of his Pokemon to aid the stranger...but paused. He could handle this, right?

[Vince Moore]

"Ecruteak original?" vince would parrot, mentally noting what he assumed was a fashion designer he had never heard of. for a moment vince was lost in thought about what his awesome new kimono would look like. while he admired the striking white that this stranger had decided to wear he couldn't help but envision himself in something black and red, angry and prideful colors - one people would see from a mile away.

he had been paid recently, right? vince mentally calculated when his last real paycheck was and when rent was due... He was a bit on the broke side but what was an awesome new piece of clothing compared to eating for the rest of the month? 

so lost in thought he would miss Orchid's obvious annoyance at his pokemon and only truly come back to the conversation at the sound of '...for their own good.'

"huh, you're pretty lucky then. i can't get terra, the hippopotas over there in the sand," he would point towards where his trio were looking past him at the battle, "to want to fight at all. she'll only do it if I ask her to but never because she wants to. for such a hefty pokemon you'd think she would want to try.... ignis on the other hand is liable to start smacking around your lopbunny if it gets close..."

as he mused his voice trailed off at the sudden approach of the two pokemon. while he had planned to overlook the wild pokemon his new chatting partner seemed to have plans otherwise. with quick words he had already initiated his battle with the weird slug looking pokemon.

that left the crabrawler angrily staring him down. "ignis!! get your ass over here and fight this thing, please." vince would call down the beach, his voice echoing down the long sandy slope and spurring his fire type to leave claves and terra and leap over to the battlefield. "use ember, let's light this crab on fire."

ignis would happily spray out a stream of fire, only to receive a dizzy punch right to the face. it left him spinning on his heels and seeing stars for a moment.

"another ember, let's take him down." vince would command. shaking his head to clear himself of the pain he would unleash another ember attack. crabrawler would counter with a reversal, the attack leading to moderate damage on ignis.

"we've got him on his last legs, another ember ignis." vince would command. his weakened pokemon would return with another ember, effectively scorching his opponent before dropping him to his knees. just as vince assumed the battle was over the crabrawler let out a weak bubble, hoping to give himself time to get away.

"shit, ignis remember what we learned in training? roll to the left and fury swipes!" vince would practically scream as he realized if his pokemon couldn't manage a dodge and attack it would be game over for him. however ignis managed to execute the move perfectly, having spent several hours quite recently at the training dojo perfecting this attack. his fury swipes would drop the crabrawler into a faint.

"good work ignis, c'mere for just a second." bending down to reach into his book bag on the beach towel he would pull out a potion and spray his pokemon back to health. "you can go back to playing now big guy, i'm gonna go grill our new friend over here on where he gets his clothing." vince would say happily, patting the chimchar's head before watching him bounce away.

"so anyway, you said Ecruteak original? who's the head designer? i can't say I've ever heard of them...?"

I Need More Affection Than You Know

“I-I...rather not find out…”

It was not that Orchid did not deny that the Pokemon had the strength to take on the Lopunny, but rather the vitality. The violet haired boy would already have a picture of the sands being disturbed by the rabbit Pokemon performing its signature mount and fanatic pounding of its punches. Orchid cringed at the thought of the Pokemon constantly trying to best any other creature on the beach whether wild or trained. His eyes would shift to the sight of the rabbit Pokemon chasing around the Eevee still. Finally cornering it, she would approach slowly as she would pound her little paw into the next as she cast her shadow upon the Eevee.

By the time the Crab Pokemon was taken care of, the Lopunny however had turned her attention back to the beach. Orchid could feel her shooting laser beams with her glaring eyes. By the sight of the Eevee that was far back on Orchid’s ankle, wondering when she would get there, Orchid would lift his eyes to see the Pokemon. “What did you expect?” Orchid’s tone like a chastising father at this point, “Of course Sweety-chan fought for me while you were busy. You keep trying to beat up everyone, including our friends.” Sass was what Orchid would get, and it was no surprise. The Pokemon tossed her ears with a twist of her head like it was a head full of flowing hair. She would strut with one of her paws on her hip. Walking to Orchid’s side, she would sit silent, awaiting for her chance.

Orchid would ignore her for now. Turning his attention back to the young man.

“Well, they were all made in Ecruteak City in Johto.” The violet haired boy would continue to say. A tug at his clothing would make him slightly disgruntled. “The Kimono Girls there, who put on shows, have these collection of Kimonos specially tailored for them. I-I just…” he felt the tug again: both in the physical sense and one at his heart. “...know someone...that got close to the tailor.” He would explain. Vague details of course would be left in the air. The violet haired boy would feel the tug once more, a chill along his body, and a shadow like an eclipse with the tides.

“Bun-chan?” Orchid’s eyes would drift to the Lopunny that was looking to the Beach’s Ocean. “I thought you did not want to-” he paused short. Eyes looking to the shadow that hung over them, “...swim.”

He could not believe it! There was a big blue Pokemon that loomed over him, looking down at him at the Lopunny as it craned its neck. He was not sure how he was so wrapped up in conversation that he did not notice a Pokemon approach. Then again...how did a Lapras get this close to him of all things?! The violet haired boy a look up, knowing this Pokemon to the point he did not even need to whip out the PokeGram app! He clearly knew its height from up close and knew it was popular, but nearly extinct in Kanto.

...but here it was, right before his eyes, looking down upon him with a lack of amusement...until it would smirk.

“Ooooh...no!”

SWOOSH!!!

A brilliant flash would emit from the Pokemon as it would cast a ray of light towards the Lopunny. Instantly, the rabbit Pokemon would whirl around on its foot, eyes whirled in a daze as it would seem confused at the moment. The Pokemon would walk off in a stupor as Orchid would look at the Lopunny.

“W-well...i-it’s a slight improvement.” Orchid would say before looking to the large water Pokemon. Her neck craning down once again as now she had her smug smile set upon Orchid. “Y-you...are worse than Lopunny, a-arent you?” The water Pokemon’s brow would furrow at that moment. Not to mention that there would be a snort of its nostrils that would be almost like steam from a dragon’s mouth. Orchid had learned about this! It was not JUST a Pokemon's jealousy...it was a female’s jealousy! Enough that it seemed to encourage the giant blue Pokemon to waft its flippers to drag its body across the sand and onto the shore next to a Mantyke that was flopping upon its back.

“O-oh dear…” Orchid would take a step back...but then something would fly past him.

Swift and cutting through the air like little blades, the leaf-like quills would cut through the air and rain upon the Lapras so suddenly. Orchid was so caught off guard as the large blue Pokemon that he had not noticed the scene on the beach. The Owl Pokemon had flew from where it once was, over his head, and landed before him as if to answer to his urgent situation. “Owl-san!” He would call aloud, “B-but where is-”

The Scyther? Sitting and folding its large-like scythes. The eyes of the Pokemon closed as it seemed to meditate rather than engage in a fight with the Owl Pokemon.

“A-anyway-” Orchid tried to ignore the strange choices of his partners, “P-please be careful! You are outmatch by type with this one!” Orchid would warn as the Lapras had struggled and pushed back. The Mantyke that was upon its back would flop off helplessly in the sand. The Pokemon seemed tempered by the sudden rain of Razor Leaf that came from the Dartrix. Whether it would attack or flop away did not seem obvious, depending on if the other trainer would let it escape now.

“Owl-san! Quick! Use-”

CRACK!!!

A shard of ice would strike the Pokemon swiftly, knocking it from the air. The large Ice-Pokemon had shot a swift shard that knocked the Dartrix from the air. “O-oh no!” Orchid would cry out, “Owl-san!” The Ice Pokmeon did not finish as it was already craning its neck back. With one enveloped cluster of chilling energy into its mouth, it would unleash a wave of ice onto the shore in an arc. The shore crystallized, and within it, a trapped and pained Dartrix that had been frozen solid while being defeated.

“Owl-san!” Orchid would call out, his right hand reaching to his Kimono sleeve. He would easily take out the Pokeball readily, but the Ice-Pokemon seemed to not be ready to back off. She had a wicked smile upon her face as she dragged her body upon the shore closer to her frozen victim.

"S-she wouldn't!" Shatter him? There was no telling!

“BOUNCE!”

A cry showing she would not get her chance. Orchid would hear the sound of the bouncing fruit Pokemon jumping up and spinning around to cast the radiant leaves around in a circle. The Pokemon would send a flurry of the leaves forth to pummel the Lapras who was foiled...and her anger roused. The Pokemon would allow its eyes to become slits once more as it seemed to dislike being interfered with. “Sweety-chan!” Orchid cried, “Be careful! She’s very-”

Another explosive blast of energy would shoot from the Pokemon’s mouth, radiating as it frozen more of the beach. Orchid had whipped his arm up in a timely manner to recapture the Owl Pokemon in time. He would let out a sigh or relief, but soon stared at the sight of the Fruit Pokemon who had been freezing among the shards of ice that was crystallizing. Its little body shivering as it seemed to be wedged in place and struggling.

“Sweety-chan!” Orchid would call out. His hand once again going for another Pokeball. “She is going to knock out all my Pokemon at this rate!” His thoughts were racing. His heart was pounding! His party of Pokemon were mostly revolving around Grass-types, putting him in this difficult position. Not to mention the Ice-type Pokemon was very bulky it seemed. Perhaps it was resisting vital blows?

“I don’t know what to do!” He swallowed. “I-I might need to retre-”

“Loooooooo!!!”

A cry like a banshee’s, and he was usually in terror to hear it. It caused him to jump in fear at first, but hearing the sound of ice-shards crack like glass had sent him in utter terror. The Bounsweet was freed from the sudden figure that crashed straight through the ice and dove upward towards the Ice-Pokemon that opened its eyes in shock. The brown-furry Pokemon would pull back its wrist, casting its glowing paw forward as it would send the Pokemon reeling back as it would toppled to the side with the Lopunny falling on top of it.

“S-she just punched her in the face!”

Where this was a fight anymore was debatable. Orchid would watch as the Ice-Type Pokemon would spew a blast of ice from its mouth over and over. Some would shaven the rabbit Pokemon while others would make a direct hit. However, it did not stop the rabbit from staying atop the Lapras while using Power-Up punch with a glowing paw intensifying with each punch. The Lapras panting with each hit like the shivering and chilled Lopunny that would blow out a hot cloudy breath that was visible through half of the frozen terrain around them. That did not stop them from fighting, however.

“U-uh...I-I…” Orchid would reach into his sleeve, taking out a Pokeball that was empty. Expanding it, his hand shivered, but not from the cold. “I-I should...break this up, right?” Orchid would eye the trainer that had been on the beach with him. He had knew more than anyone what would happen if one gotten in the middle of this kind of fight, and it did not usually end well. However, the Lapras was tired and heaving as well as the Lopunny who was pinning it (or at least standing on its neck as it was toppled) holding a glowing fist readily as she shivered and panted. Both of them were on the verge of fainting.

“P-Pokeball,” Orchid would call out hesitantly as it cast out the spherical device towards the Lapras, “Fly!”

[Vince Moore]

vince would listen intently to how orchid spoke about the kimono women in Ecruteak and felt a pang of jealousy when he realized he couldn't just order the outfits out of the catalog. a native of alola region he didn't understand the ways or cultures of johto AND WOULD NEVER BE ONE FOUND WORTHY OF HIS OWN KIMONO. MENTALLY HE TUCKED AWAY THE REMINDER TO SEE IF HE COULD FIND SOME ONLINE, ON SOME OF THE MORE unscrupulous FASHION SITES.

"WELL WHOMEVER DID YOUR OUTFIT DID A STELLAR JOB." VINCE WOULD FINALLY SAY, HOPING THE NOTE OF JEALOUSY AND disappointment DIDN'T COLOR HIS WORDS. AS HE WAS ABOUT TO CONTINUE THE GIANT BLOOD BODY OF lAPRAS WOULD SLOWLY CREEP UP ON THEM BOTH BEFORE IT WOULD LOOM OVER THE PURPLE HAIRED BOY. "UH.... UM?" VINCE WOULD SAY, UNSURE IF HE SHOULD WARN HIM OR JUST STARE ON IN AWE BEFORE ORCHID WOULD NOTICE THE POKEMON.

AND THEN THE ATTACK FROM ORCHID'S TEAM WOULD BEGIN, CAUSING VINCE TO STEP BACK TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ANY OF THE POKEMON WHO WOULD FLY BY, ATTACKING THEIR OPPONENT.

VINCE WAS HAPPY TO WATCH THE AWESOME BATTLE WHEN HE NOTICED A SMALL BLUE AND GREY POKEMON ON HIS BEACH TOWEL, NOSING THROUGH HIS BACK PACK. "HEY YOU! GET OUT OF THERE!" HE WOULD CALL, FORGETTING ALL ABOUT THE BATTLE BESIDES HIM.

MANTYKE WOULD PULL HIS HEAD FREE OF THE BAG, GLANCE BRIEFLY AT VINCE BEFORE UNLEASHING A SUPERSONIC ATTACK right at him. being unaware of the impending attack he took it full to the face and immediately lost his balance and fell into the sand with a loud, confused cry.

the cry would alert his pokemon who would rush back to face the offending mantyke. meanwhile vince rolled around on the sand, temporarily unable to remember how to use his arms and legs to pick himself up.

the refreshed chimchar would see his opportunity to attack. the sunny day effect would boost his attacks even while he risked the type advantage of his opponent. leaping forward he began his own attack with fury swipes, knocking the mantyke away from his trainer's bag.

as the pokemon fell backwards he tried another supersonic which would be flung wildly in the air, managing to hit claves and terra who were standing nearby, causing them both to fall on the ground and wobble in a confused state.

ignis couldn't help but roll his eyes as he unleashed an ember attack on mantyke. the move hit, leaving him charred even as he managed to get righted. now stable mantyke would use water pulse, shooting rings after rings of a devastating water attack at ignis. the fire type took it in stride despite it leaving him trembling and in quite a bit of pain.

casting an eye back to his down and out team ignis knew he couldn't stop now. once again he launched himself forward, using scratch to knock back the Mantyke once again. it would hunker down as mantyke used wide guard, protecting itself from oncoming field attack.

ignis of course had none of those and when he did another set of fury swipes it would cause the mantyke to wobble before slumping to its' side, fainted for the time being.

as ignis finished his short battle with his opponent vince would be able to snap out of the confusion he had been put under, rubbing his head and brushing sand from his body with a groan. "did ya get him ignis?" vince asked as he stood up on shakey legs, looking past their blanket to see the defeated mantyke laying on the sand. "thanks for that buddy, that confusion shit is for the birds." he said with a chuckle.

Turning his head back towards orchid vince hoped that he had been too engrossed in his battle to notice the rather embarrassing way he and most of his team had been knocked down before the battle even began. his eyes would catch sight of the pokeball that went flying into the air.

suddenly he was at orchid's side, uncaring that sand poured from his skin and hair as he cheered. "get in that pokeball! you got this, friend!" vince cheered, elbowing the man affectionately as if they were suddenly close friends and not just strangers who had met and chattered on about clothing.

I Need More Affection Than You Know

“Friend, huh?”

Was it an expression? A slip of the tongue? A meaningful title? Orchid did not know which or what to think of it. As he stepped forth picking up the Pokeball, he was not sure how to confront the figure on this matter. Many times over, Orchid was alone and did not wish to be pestered! After all, his family was a burden in itself, and the last thing he wanted people to know just how messed up his life was. Still, even as he grasp and lifted the Pokeball that clasped Lapras within it, he would stare at the gleam of the ball that reflected his visage.

“U-umm...my name...is Orchid.” He would introduce himself to the young man. The violet haired boy would turn his attention to the sands shifting as something seemed to be lurking once more. With a toss and explosive blow of sand, his introduction was cut short as Orchid would see the Water-type squid Pokemon appear in front of him. He stepped back readily, watching as the one to take a stance before him was the Lopunny that would drop from a mighty leap from above. Her arms reaching as if she was ready to box and her fur still chilly from the obnoxious Lapras.

“Y-yes,” he would breathe helplessly, “Go ahead and fight it. I know you have been wanting to do so!”

Orchid sweep his hand out in that usual commanding style. The waft of his kimono like a battle flag as the Lopunny would readily move. “Use your Power-Up Punch!”

Orchid would command, watching as the rabbit Pokemon would surge forth with a quick thrust of its fist. The Pokemon’s impact hardening its fist as it would knock the squid away. The Inkay would quickly spin its body from upside down to right side up...or whichever way. Orchid would see it was quite an odd Pokemon with a strange form. With a twist of its body, it would expel a black orb that would twist around Lopunny and collapse. The rabbit Pokemon seeming to take some phenomenal damage due to it. It was enough to bring it to its knees.

“Bun-chan!” Orchid would call out realizing Lopunny’s grief. “She has not recovered from last fight...and that attack just now...it must have been...peculiar?”

Orchid would purse his lips. Swallowing, he would hold out another Pokeball in his grasp. “Bun-chan, now!” He would call out, “Trust, Eve-chan to take care of the rest! Baton Pass!” With a turn of her head, the Lopunny would quickly turn around and hold up its hand. Its body would glow with an unsightly bright aura before it would quickly turn spherical and fly towards the Pokeball. With the ball opening, the Pokemon that would come out would collide with the next in the sphere form before Lopunny would fly into its own ball. The figure to form on the field was the Eevee that would take its place on the field with a mighty cry.

Inkay, however, was not waiting.

The black, blobish sphere would show itself once more. Collapsing on Eevee, once more, it would do damage causing for the pup Pokemon to yelp out in pain. The power was just as overwhelming as it was for the Lopunny, but it would tell Orchid all he needed. “That attack must by using their power against them.” Orchid wincing as if he felt their pain, “Which means I will have to end this quick!” The violet haired boy planted his foot firmly. Eyes going to the Eevee who readily would stand its ground. “Eve-chan! Use Double-Edge!”

The small pup Pokemon would collect its strength it inherited from the Lopunny. A pink aura dawning its body while it would explode with a pristine light flash. The Eevee’s own ability collected and would add to its phenomenal strength as the Pokemon would rush forth with a high-speed tackle. The Eevee leaping through the air and tossing it self-forth as it would crash into the Inaky. The impact reverberating as it would send the Pokemon colliding with the sand, skipping it once...twice...and thrice! 

The Pokemon would be sent flying into the sea water beyond the sands and fainting for a moment. Only after, the Inkay would dive quickly as if fleeing after the painstaking battle.

“That was a lot!” Orchid would comment with a sigh before turning to the so called, “friend.” How he would deal with this development? He was still trying to figure this one out.
