How does a double-battle sound to you?
"Sounds wonderful." Val grinned, looking at the two pokemon the boy brought out. Taking in a breath of air he unclipped two of his three Pokeballs. Clicking the small buttons which crackled in reply instead of there normal ping.
The balls dropped to the ground, bouncing and rolling around until they snapped open. Small sparks shooting out in the red rays, which in turn became a Zombiekarp and a Riolu.
This was both their first time out of their balls and Athena, the Riolu, looked around as if this room was heaven, well Ares looked around like he was hungry. He was. <Yay,> Athena streched her limbs, <finally.>
Val watched Athena bow, before looking at Cleon. "Shall, I go first?" He crossed his arms over his chest and waited for an answer. <Braaains...?> The Zombiekarp rocked on its chest before falling to its side with a moan.
Ugh. What a worthless fish, but he was not about to bring out Nyx who was still weak from fights on the first route.

What in the world was that thing? Cleon stared at the apparently undead fish for quite some time, recognizing it as a Magikarp or sorts, but also wondering what happened to it. And it craved brains. His upbringing was not the sort to encourage silly memes, and as such he had not been involved in the recent zombie hype. Even if he had, the sight of a Zombiekarp would have disturbed him quite sufficiently.
It took a moment to realize that he had been asked a question. ”Hm? Oh, yes, sure.” How would the fish manage to do anything but flop about and moan? It might creep his Pokemon out, but even that thing couldn’t disturb them into submission. With a quick glance at his two partners, he changed his mind. Maybe they would just give up.
Both Pandora and the Exeggcute were looking quite concerned with the presence of the gray, decaying fish. It’d be hard to get them to focus on anything else. ”Get ready, guys!” Cleon called out; the Pokemon attempted to do so, shifting their gaze between their opponents. Their eyes lingered on the creepy fish, though, as they prepared for the incoming attacks.

Val grinned when he noticed Cleon's team looking at the undead fish before clearing his throat to give a command to his, "Athena, use Quick attack on that... Bird." His voice was cold, then he looked at the undead fish who flopped around on the floor. "Ares," He sighed, "Beat up the eggs."
Athena nodded, taking in a small breath of air before looking at her target. <This will be fun.> She took a step forward, then another, which in turn turned into a much faster run at her target. Once she neared her target she would try her best to quickly attack it with as much force as she could.
For Ares, the whole battling out of water was a strange thing, he flopped slowly toward the egg. Athena looked at the fish as it spoke, <Cooome braaains... beat up... braaains.. with... meh..> Ares moaned, chewing on the strange words as it would finally reach his target.
Slowly he would start to beat it up, then Athena would join in.
Suddenly Val's last Pokeball would open itself, shooting rays from his belt to let out Nyx. "Hey stupid bird, how in the heck did you get out? Val grumbled as Nyx would join in the beat up. After it was all over the pokeball on his belt would open again and dissolve Nyx in it's red light. "There are some things I will never understand..." Val sighed to himself.

That cold voice was altogether unpleasant, particularly when it was referring to her. ‘That bird?’ Is that what she was? Fluffing up her feathers indignantly, Pandora quickly shifted her focus from the creepy fish to what she decided to call ‘that blue thing.’ Taking flight, she managed to swoop out of the way of the quick attack. While the Beat Up was occurring, she floated overhead, concerned for the well-being of the Exeggcute after such an assault.
Indeed, the eggs were unable to get out of the way of the onslaught. Although the Zombiekarp was unable to move too quickly, the eggs were similarly limited in terms of mobility. Especially with the assistance from the other Pokemon, they were surrounded which prevented escape.
That disturbed fish was strong. Cleon frowned, then called out, “Exeggcute, use Hypnosis on the fish. Pandora? Focus on the blue thing. Focus Energy and Peck combo.”
Pandora, pleased that her trainer had somehow managed to use her term, obliged. She would much rather avoid the fish. Flapping quickly to back up, she gathered up all her energy in her beak, then flew forward to deliver a peck to the Riolu. Exeggcute, meanwhile, began to stare at the Zombiekarp in an attempt to make it sleep.
::taillow:: ::exeggcute:: Pandora used Focus Energy, then Peck on Athena. (Quick attack missed) Exeggcute used Hypnosis on Ares. (Hit by beat up)

Athena held up her arms as the bird's sharp beak slammed into them, she let out a squeak of pain. Pulling her arms down slowly to look at where her arm throbbed in pain. <Ow!> She whined, looking at Val for a command. "Counter."
She nodded, shooting her gaze back to bird. Oh, that bird was going to feel pain. Athena charged at the bird again, putting all her energy into one of her hands which she swung at the bird with all her might.
Ares, rocked back and forth as the egg stared at it, drool falling from it's mouth and dripping onto the floor. <Uuuhhh...> He moaned, not falling to the floor to sleep.
"Beat up."
Ares grunted, moving slowly to his target. Athena joined and Nyx again appeared in a ray of light, all trying to beat up the group of eggs again. Then like before Nyx would vanish.

Oh, that bird certainly did feel pain. Quite a bit of it. Screeching, Pandora was slammed out of the air, the wind knocked out of her lungs. That one hit was incredibly strong; the bird knew she was outmatched despite the type advantage that existed. Athena was definitely at a higher level. Still, she wouldn’t give up.
”Pandora, go in for another Peck if you can!” Cleon called out to her, concerned for her condition. Though not an expert at judging strength, he could tell that both the fish and fighting-type were more advanced than either of his Pokemon. As for the fish, it didn’t seem phased at all by the idea of sleep. Maybe this thing was more “undead” than Cleon had initially thought. Creepy. ”Go for a Barrage, guys!”
Exeggcute was prepared for the attack this time, and managed to avoid being completely ganged up on by bouncing out of the way of the fish, at least. Still, they were getting tired. Not tired enough to disobey their next command, however; each individual flung itself at the Zombiekarp, each crying out a unique warcry.

Athena felt the pain of the bird's peck numbing her arm as she tried to protect her face from it. Her eyes teared up and after the attack was over her arm fell to her side, throbbing worse then before. It almost felt like it would never move again and slowly the pain wrapped around her body. Surely her aura was sending out short waves of pain. "Athena use Force Palm the eggs," Val's voice made Athena try to shake the pain away.
She was suprised that her target was not the bird again, but nodded before throwing her palm at the group. A small ball of light forming before it would hit, were it would then let out a blast of bright light.
"Ares use Beat Up on the bird," Val ordered yet it appeared that Ares didn't listen. His body wiggled in place as he splashed about, looking like a fool. Val's ears flattened in anger, but he said nothing.

So, the fish was still just a Magikarp in some ways, then, it seemed. Splashing about, the graying thing looked even more pathetic than a normal flopping fish. Pandora sneered at the thing, but made sure that she remained vigilant. Constant awareness was the key to success.
Unfortunately, the poor eggs were not performing well enough to be as vigilant as their flying comrade. This last attack was a bit too much for them, and they collapsed in a heap on the floor. Cleon withdrew their Pokeball and returned the creature to its safe sphere, murmuring to the orb before placing it back on his belt. Now it was two against one. Might as well get one of them out of this, if possible. ”Pandora, keep focusing on the fighter, Focus Energy and Peck. You got this!”
Screeching in order to gather her energy, she spiraled down to the Riolu in order to deliver another Peck.

Athena forced herself to deal with the pain, which quickly moved around her body. Making her shake. Even if that bird was a lower level, it sure did pack a punch. Or rather a peck. Athena shook a little, it hurt to move, she grunted but tried to deal with the pain.
Val's ears dropped slightly, sure the eggs had fallen, but the bird just would not faint. He slipped a potion from his hood, pulled the seal off. Athena's head turned, picking up the sound of the seal. She knew it was for her and she took it before Val even spoke her name. Sticking her tounge into the chalky liquid.
"Eh.. Alright," Val turned his attention to his pet zombie, who breathed in as if it would help it at all. "Beat up the bird."
This time the fish flopped abount trying to move to the bird. Athena looked up, her tounge hanging from he mouth. She dropped the bottle and moved to the bird, she would be happy to join the beat up. Next Nyx shot out of her Pokeball, moving in to join the beat up until vanishing again.

Cleon frowned slightly as Val grabbed a potion and fed it to the fighting type. He hadn’t considered healing his Pokémon. Wasn’t this a fight to test their strength, not how many items the trainer had? Apparently battle methods varied between trainers. It didn’t seem fair to Cleon, but that was just his foolish perspective. Perhaps if he’d thought to use a potion he could have lingered in the battle for a while longer.
As it was, this next attack proved to be too much for Pandora. Having been pulled down from the air, she was pummeled too much to fly up again. She stayed down, peeped weakly, then entered a state of unconsciousness. Cleon returned her to her Pokeball, then gave a grin to Val. ”Nice fight. You have strong Pokemon,” he said, impressed despite his defeat.
Fainted.

"Hey hey wait what are you doing!? I said I didn't want to pet your cat!" A voice shouted from the hall, the voice distinctly male, but at a rather high shrill pitch.
Moments later a small brown haired boy spun into the room pressing himself tightly against the wall. Shaking, his eyes wide and a cold sweat covering his body, Zac simply stared at Cleon. Slowly, one hand shakily rose to his lips, gesturing for him to stay silent. There was a crazy woman out there, and she wanted to trade her super scary looking purugly for Kali! She kept insisting she was such a cute kitten... even though shinx was so obviously a puppy.
"Oh Zaccy-kins~ come out come out where every you are..." a large woman called, waddling past the door in a flamboyant purple dress covered in obnoxiously bright neon pictures of various cat pokemon.
For a brief instant her make up overloaded face gazed into the room, eying Cleon up. He didn't seem to have any cat like pokemon out though, and with a sniff of distaste continued on, followed moments later by an extremely old and obese purugly, which was panting heavily.
"Phew that was a close one! For a second there I thought I was --"
Zac's eyes lit up as he looked around the room, realising this was a battlefield! Oh man, talk about cool. Racing forward Zac slammed the door shut, before turning towards this other trainer with a somewhat wild gaze. He wanted to battle now, and if this person wanted to leave, they'd better be prepared to battle!

Even if Val wanted to say, I know, to Cleon he grinned and said "Thanks." Though, he wished he would of known the battle would of ended so quickly because there was no point in using up that potion. He clicked his Pokeballs to return Athena and Ares.
Val unfolded the paper in his hands, "Could you sign this," He shook the paper before adding, "I need you to, so I can enter something." Then he would be on his way, simple as that.
Then another person rushed in, Val turned his head looking as the man told them to stay quiet. He was followed by a women's face, who looked in the room and then left a second later.
The door slammed shut. "You are gonna have to open that." He growled, "I was just about to leave."

Glancing at the other person in the room Zac was kind of surprised. He had been so intent on hiding he'd only spotted the one kid, but now another had appeared! Pretty spooky. "Well if you really want out you should battle me as well!" he declared, pulling out two pokeballs and pointing one at each of the people. His pokemon pretty much did their own thing anyways, so he could handle two totally different battles at once. However this new person could always just wait until he was distracted to leave, if they were patient enough. (OOC: kekeke level grabbing attempts ftw~ xD If you want to do itttt i'd want them as two separate battles, simultaneously going on, so even if one person was really lagging the other battle could keep going Well unless I was the lagger XDD Oh and if you don't want to you can just come up with some way to get passed him. Like faking him out, threatening to call purugly lady, being all 'look over there!' then booking it past Zac etc :'D)

Nodding, Cleon signed the form, glancing briefly at its contents. Shiny Pokemon Raffle, huh? He wondered for a moment what a “shiny” even was, but his thoughts were broken by the entrance of another male. Cleon somehow managed to remain silent as Zac slipped into the room, a cat-obsessed woman walked on by, and Zac’s sudden enthusiastic slamming of the door. Then, he burst out laughing. How had the kid managed to get into that situation?
But regardless, Cleon was more than happy to engage in a battle with this newcomer. His newly acquired Cubone had gotten no action, yet; it would be fun to see what the ground-type could do! ”I’m up for a battle,” he replied, whipping out the creature’s Pokeball. The small creature emerged from the sphere and looked at each of the three young men in the room, his gaze strong for such a little Pokemon.

Whoa whoa whoa, hold one, a Pokémon whose head was a skull? Thoughts of that creepy necromancer he'd battled earlier, who even now was no doubt lurking in some cemetary somewhere, flashed into his mind as he glared at this guy. Great just great, now he had another of these 'crazy people' to deal with. The thing even had a weapon, was that even allowed? Zac made a mental note to ask about that next time he was at a pokeshop. Maybe he could get his Pokémon a giant sword or something! Now that, would be awesome. "Ok Skully you're going down town to the...er...pound to, uh, lose?" shrugging the boy glanced at the two pokeballs in his hands. Hero or Bubbles for this fight? Glancing back at the morbid little pokemon, he quickly decided to keep Hero in reserve. Besides if Bubbles loses at least they've tenderized the meat for me... he thought to himself, tossing the poliwags pokeball into the air. Crackling with energy the ball failed to immediately open, striking the ground hard and bouncing three times before releasing the tadpole Pokémon. [blue]<Yeow that hurt! What on earth are you throwing me around --- oh.>[/blue] Blinking Bubbles glanced up at the cubone she was now uncomfortably close to. Sure it was still three feet away, but the eyes behind that mask didn't look very friendly to her, though anyone who wore skulls as masks was a little scary. [blue]<Listen my trainer is an idiot so go easy on me, ok?>[/blue] Bubbles said with a slight smile, before hastily scrambling back a few steps. "Alright bubbles, show that thing your, well, bubbles!" Zac called out, though still somewhat distracted still by the other person in the room. What had these two been up to in here? Would they try to devour his soul and turn him into a zombie trainer? Distracted by such thoughts Zac really wasn't paying attention as Bubbles took in a deep breath, before blowing a bunch of bubbles at the bone loving Pokémon. Not the most intimidating of attacks but sadly it was the best she could do. Level: 8Bubbles used Bubble on Cleon's Cubone!

Zac’s discomfort by the slightly macabre appearance of the Cubone was hardly hidden, and Cleon could honestly see where this came from. Though he hadn’t exactly thought much of it before, the creature was, indeed, wearing a skull on his head. And he used a bone as a weapon. The name came to mind instantly. Charon. Ferryman of the dead. It worked well for the adamant creature who met Zac’s uneasy gaze with a glare of his own.
At Bubbles’s words, the Cubone turned to look at her for the first time. <I can see that.>
Charon was hit straight on by the barrage of bubbles, having not tried to avoid them in any way. He wanted to test this creature’s strength. Indeed, she was stronger than him; even with such a weak attack, he was thrown backwards and almost lost the grip on his weapon. Struggling to his feet, he turned his hard eyes to his trainer. Should he even listen to the male?
Right away, Cleon realized that this battle was lost. Water was stronger than ground, and this was his Cubone’s first battle. Ah, well. He’d get to see how he could work with the critter. ”Charon, tail whip, then iron head!”
<Charon, huh?> the Cubone asked. It wasn’t a bad name, though he had no clue of its mythological background. Still, it had a decent enough ring to it. While he pondered it, he wagged his tail in a distracting manner, then darted forward in an attempt to head butt the Poliwag.

Oh no, no, no, no, NO! Scrambling backwards Bubbles tried to avoid the tail whip iron head combo, though it wasn't working very well. With a cry of pain the tadpole pokemon was flung into the air, before crashing down once more. To her surprise though the damage wasn't quite as severe as she'd imagined, though getting flung around by this skull face still wasn't very fun. "Hypnosis and Bubble!" was Zac's next command, which Bubbles eagerly obeyed. Staring at the cubone her mouth opened slightly emitting a low pitch noise. Waves of soothing, hypnotic energy flowed from her tiny form, seeking to engulf the ground type. Moments later another stream of bubbles also left her mouth, again aimed at the bone wielding pokemon. ::poliwag:: hit my tail whip (def -1) hit by iron head Bubbles used Hypnosis and Bubble on Charon!

”Ignore the hypnosis if you can, then go in for another Iron Head!” Cleon called out, well aware of the fact that the battle would just end there should Charon succumb so slumber. The Cubone, however, scoffed in reply, his eternally narrowed eyes glaring at his trainer. Wasn’t that obvious? Don’t get his? Stupid human.
Using his irritation at Cleon, he was able to ignore the hypnotic energy, though this distracted him enough to be blasted by the stream of bubbles. Grunting as he was thrown backwards, Charon crawled to his feet, picked up his bone, then, ignoring his weakening form, dashed at the Poliwag with all his strength.

"Uhm, uh...bubble again?"Zac felt a little bad spamming the same move over and over again, but to be fair his pokemon was named bubbles for a reason. In all honesty he couldn't even remember why he was fighting this guy, besides the fact this was a good hiding place from that scary woman, and her even scarier cat. While Zac tried to remember what was going on, Bubbles was...running away? If there was one thing she did not like it was being flung around by some scary pokemon. [blue]<Wahhhhhhh this is not what I signed up for!>[/blue] she cried, running in wide circles from the cubone, which was rapidly closing in on the waddling pokemon. Man, where was a nice lake or river when you needed one? Tripping over her own tail Bubbles fell to the ground, knowing she was about to get flung around again. Rolling onto her back Bubbles fired another burst of bubbles at the cubone, even as she was flung high into the air by the iron head attack. [blue]<Maybe this'll slow me down!>[/blue] Facing the ground once again, bubbles tried to use watersport to slow her descent, though the stream of water was no where near strong enough, the poliwag instead face planting on the now wet floor. ::poliwag:: hit by iron head Bubbles used Watersport!

Though it was impossible to tell thanks to his hardened expression -- and his face was mostly covered by a skull, anyway, Charon was quite pleased to have sufficiently scared this stupid little pipsqueak who was hurting him so. Even as he was struck by the bubbles streaming from the creature's mouth, he was content in knowing that he was the more impressive of the two combatants. Completely overwhelmed by the watery barrage, the Cubone collapsed. He might be down, but in his own mind he had convinced himself to be superior. If only he had a better trainer to help him. If there was such a thing as a skilled human. Hmph.
Cleon sighed, but smiled at the enthusiastic Zac. "Looks like Charon's out for the count. Water and him must not mix. Good battle. Hope you can keep away from that woman out there, he said, still grinning. Grabbing his Cubone's Pokeball, he withdrew the Pokemon and clipped it to his belt. That was it for battling, for the time being. Everyone was pretty wiped out. Hopefully the Pokemon Centers would open up again, soon, so his partners could be in top shape again.
"Want me to be a lookout for you?" Cleon laughed at the suggestion, then headed over to the door ahead of Zac.
