Darko frowned slightly when his opponent switched Pokemon. No matter. No matter. He had another normal Pokemon that would still be effective against the Yamask if Toby got out. Right now he had to deal with the Abra. He was not sure what type of strategy to take yet. He decided to just try something so that he would know what the other Pokemon was capable of. Then he could come up with a better plan. "Alright then. Use Tackle." The Lillipup puffed up his chest confidently before running at the Abra. He was sure he could get a hit!

"Turn up the heat Maxwell." Raff egged on his Abra. Although Maxwell had the huge headphones on, jamming out to some song, he seemed to hear Raff perfectly. Because he stood up, and one of his little yellow fists suddenly became surrounded with hot red and orange flames. They licked up his arm and the edges danced at his shoulders. The psychic type stood still, letting Lillipup come to him and tackle him to the ground. It hurt as he fell backwards against the floor, but he expertly swung his arm towards the puppy after he attacked Maxwell, aiming to hit him with a fire punch.
Toby grinned confidently when he hit his target. he was too busy celebrating to notice the Fire Punch coming at him. He was hit with great force and skidded across the floor. He growled as she stood up and shook his head to clear it. How embarrassing! He would not let something like that happen again. Darko eyed the situation critically. "Ok, use Ice Fang!" Now, there was a good attack! The Lillipup's fangs grew a bright blue. He ran towards the Abra in an attempt to bite him. He would show him how strong he was!

One of the attendants came in and tapped Raff on the shoulder, handing him a warm egg. Raff smiled, thanked the man, and then knelt down to get a poke'ball. He released a small Magby. Raff picked up both Grant the Magby and the Sneasel Egg he had just been handed. Magby wrapped his arms around the egg and held it close for his trainer, warming it up with his body to help it hatch sooner! <Told you I'm more useful than that Elekid!> The Magby chirped up. Raff sighed and nodded, letting Grant think what he wanted to keep him happy. Apparently his Magby had some sort of feud with an Elekid somewhere.
"Teleport Maxwell." Raff shouted loudly. Maxwell's eyes glowed softly for a moment and then he vanished right out from under Lillipup's frozen teeth. No Abra snack right now! He reappeared a few feet to the left, his headphones had been pulled down to around his neck and you could more clearly heat the pounding beat playing from the small speakers.
Toby gasped when the Abra suddenly disappeared. He skidded to a halt and moved his head in a frantic motion to find his opponent. He narrowed his eyes when he saw him. Now one got away from him that easily. He would show him! The Lillipup ran forward to try Ice Fang again, this time adding a Leer for good measure. Darko watched his Pokémon and sighed. He hoped he knew what he was doing. Toby could sometimes be overconfident in his abilities.

Raff could only do so much with his Abra's limited movepool. So he turned his attention to Grant and the egg in his arms. The Magby blew some black smoke over the egg, darkening the shell, and Raff doodled in it with his finger, cradling the baby poke'mon and the egg in one arm. He drew a smile and giggled. Grant rolled his eyes, finding his trainer's childish antics to be rather annoying.
Maxwell could easily have teleported again if he wanted too. But then the pup leered at him. And it made him angry. It made him reckless. Did this yappy little thing think it was better than the intellectually superior Abra? It frustrated Maxwell, so he didn't teleport. He ended up being hit by the ice fang, which hurt greatly, and a chill ran through his body. But he knew a way to warm himself up. Both of his fists became incased in hot fire gloved, and he took a swing at Lillipup.
A direct hit! That would show the Abra to just teleport and get away from him. Boy, did he look angry. It was best to get away from him. Toby dried to get out of the way, but the Fire Punch hit him as he was retreating. He winced in pain. At least it was not as bad as it could have been. He could shake it off and keep going. He was still close to the other Pokemon. It was time to attack hard once again! He did not wait for a command from his trainer. He knew what he was doing. He could do this on his own. He decided to try for a normal Bite this time.

<Hey Raff, this thing is moving....> Grant pointed out to his trainer as he felt the egg shift around. The Sneasel inside was stirring, and not too happy about being so warm. Raff looked gleefully at the egg, eagerly awaiting the arrival of his new baby.
Maxwell glanced over his shoulder and saw Raff was hardly paying attention anymore. He sighed and took a fighting stance, by sitting down on the ground and putting his headphones back on. He enjoyed a few more seconds of music before Lillipup's teeth clamped down around his body, and broke his headphones in the process. Maxwell didn't look too pleased. He blinked, holding a broken scrap of his precious headphones in his hands. And then the flames raged on his fist, turning a bright blue color as he swung the heated fist towards Lillipup.
Toby felt something snap beneath his teeth. What was that? He spit whatever it was out of his mouth. It did not taste good. Looking at the Abra, he realized it was the headphones his opponent had been wearing. Whoops. It was time to get out of there. It was too late, though. The Fire Punch hit its target. Toby sucked in a sharp breath as he felt his energy draining. That had been a hard hit. "Toby, use Tackle!" Darko called, thinking that his Lillipup needed a little help. Toby nodded. His teeth could use some rest. He raced towards the Abra with his head lowered this time.

Maxwell's fist remained flaming even after his attack landed. He was so furious at the loss of his headphones that he didn't cool down for a second. He braced himself, letting Lillipup tackle him in the chest. It knocked him backwards, but as soon as he hit the ground he teleported with a small "puff" and reappeared in the air over Lillipup. As he fell back towards the ground he took another swing at the puppy using his still flaming fists.
Raff shifted his hold on the poke'mon and the egg, using both of his arms now to support them. It took a lot of the weight off of his one arm and he felt a bit better. Grant the Magby clutched the egg close to his chest. It was starting to shake around a bit because the young Sneasel that was inside wanted out. And as soon as possible it seems.
Toby looked around in confusion when the Abra disappeared. he had hit him, hadn't he? He must have teleported again. The thought angered the Lillipup. Before he could do anything about it, he was hit by Fire Punch from above. He suppressed a groan as he slammed into the floor. That had hurt. His legs were shaky as he stood up. "Ok, you can use Ice Fang," Darko said. Toby did not have the strength to show that he had heard. The Abra was still near him. This was his chance. He bunched up his muscles and leapt towards the Abra in an attempt to bite him again with his icy fangs.

Raff was distracted from his egg for a second, which was a shame because it was nearly time for it to hatch. It was twitching around and Grant, alarmed, jumped from Raff's arms and stood beside his trainer. Raff was watching helplessly as Maxwell was nearly made to faint. It would spell the end for his entire battle once Maxwell lost, if he couldn't take the Lillipup down. Faith would be useless. He grimaced and shouted loudly. "Come on Maxwell, show me all you have!"
Maxwell was well ahead of Raff. He was bringing the heat in retribution for his broken headphones. He was pushing through the chilling pain of another ice fang, well past his own exhaustion, to take a swing at Lillipup with another flaming fist. Raff couldn't wait until Maxwell evolved so he could learn a few more moves... this was boring.
Toby was glad he had gotten one last attack in. The next Fire Punch was too much to handle. Oh well. He had fought his best. He let himself nobly go limp on the floor. Darko quickly returned him to his Pokeball. He hesitated as he pulled out a new one. There was only one Pokemon who had a chance of beating both of Raff's. But would she listen to him? It was time to find out. With a flash of light, a Skitty appeared. "Liotta, use Tackle." Liotta looked back and stared at him. She let out a low growl before turning around in a circle and lying down. She would do no such thing as what was told to her. She did not take orders. Why should she?

As the friction in the battle continued to increase, so did the tension within the tiny egg. It was reacting to the heat provided by the Flame Body, and the time to hatch started to approach. It couldn't help but burst with light as the egg shell began to weaken, allowing the trapped creature a chance to escape. It was a dramatic way to be born into the world, but this was Cheyenne. Everything was special and dramatic. The baby Sneasel started to dig its claws into the shell, eager to break free from this restricting space. It had the intense urge to move around for its freedom, and this egg shell wasn't helping.
As the egg began to collect cracks all along the side, the sounds of battling reached the infant's ears. It was both thrilling and frightening, and it had to wonder if it was a good idea to leave the egg in the first place. Curiosity quickly overruled reason, and soon it punched right through the egg shell. After the initial struggle, a new Sneasel was in the place of its old egg. At first it looked both proud and cute as it took in all of the sights and smells, but that was quickly ruined when it started biting its arms.
Raff sighed a breath of relief. The normal type was down and out. Maybe he stood a chance now? He held his newly hatched Sneasel close to his body. Grant the Magby stood close to Raff's pant leg, clutching on to it as he also watched the battle. Hopes and dreams came crashing down though when the trainer sent out another normal type poke'mon. Raff was done. There was no way he could win... could he just give up? He desperately wanted to. Especially as the weakened Maxwell was taken down with a tackle attack. With a heavy sigh Raff recalled him and sent out Faith the Yamask, cursing his bad luck. "Disable." He said quickly. Faith looked just as sad as Raff did. But then again she always looked a little down in the dumps. She swung the mask below her face and arms back and forth, it began to glow softly and a pulsating gold energy flew towards the Skitty.
hit with tackle ::fainted:: ( + 1 level for fainting, + 1 level for fainting lillipup )
Liotta let out a grunt of satisfaction when the Abra fainted. She was glad she did not have to deal with him anymore. Her eyes narrowed at her new opponent. If she had to fight, fine. She would fight. But she was going to do it her way. She could feel the Disable attack taking effect on her. She was out one move for awhile. She would just have to try something else. She wanted to attack strongly. She was not one to be messed with. She focused all of her willpower into her head and then ran to attack the Yamask with Zen Headbutt.

Still holding on to his young Sneasel Raff quickly pulled out Yamask's poke'ball and recalled the ghost poke'mon, who was in position to be headbutted by the Skitty. Raff sighed and dropped the poke'ball amongst his others. "I can't... I can't let this go on." He said as firmly as he could. In truth his voice was cracking a little bit. He stepped across the field to face Darko man to man. Magby followed along behind him, jumping onto his leg and clinging to it like a small child would do. Raff, when reaching Darko, held out his hand to shake. "I accept defeat, there is no way I can best you." He admitted with a sigh. "You're pretty good... I know some people who would like to meet you."
Liotta skidded to a halt when she realized she had not hit anything. She turned to look at Raff in surprise. He was giving up? Fine with her. She trotted back to Darko and curled up in the nearest corner. Her ears were alert in case something happened. "Good job, Liotta," Darko said to her. They had won! He felt good about it. His Pokémon had battled well. He took Raff's hand and shook it firmly. He smiled at the compliment.He was glad his training was starting to pay off. He wanted his Pokémon to be the best. "Thank you." A curious look crossed his face at the mention of meeting people. "Really? Who?"
The Magby clinging to his leg looked up at the other trainer with interest. Being a leader in his own mind, the small fire type was intrigued by the young trainer who had bested Raff so well. Grant climbed up to Raff's hip and the young blond boy reached down, picking up Magby into his arms. The young Sneasel didn't like being so close to the fire type, she began to nibble on her nails and glared over at him.
"Yeah, I'm part of this group called The Ace Trainers." He began to explain. "We're based out of Ace Academy, and we work as sort of... well I guess an organized vigilante group." He was surprised to find how hard it was to explain The Ace Trainers to someone else. Of course he hadn't ever tried before... actually the only person he had talked to at all lately was Arthur, also an Ace Trainer. Goodness he needed to get out more. "Our mission is to try and keep this region safe for everyone to trainer their poke'mon. If you'd like I could take you to meet some of the other trainers? We're always looking for new recruits."
Darko glanced at the Pokemon in Raff's arms. He gave them a small smile before returning his attention to the trainer. listened carefully to what Raff explained. It sounded very interesting. He had never heard of anything like it. He bitterly thought what those back home would think if he joined such a group. They would say he was the problem and not the answer. Well, he would show them! This sounded like a good cause. He was all for keeping trainers and Pokemon safe. And he could do it his way and not the way those in society expected him to. He found himself nodding at Raff. "That sounds like a really neat group. I'd love to meet some of the trainers." Liotta listened to the conversation, but she remained still. She had no reason to interact.
