The dark haired young man's face expressed an emotional spectrum towards Alex that was not flattering for the young man, his eyes smoldering with anger like coals well tended by a Torkoal. Those icy blue eyes didn't sparkle with their normal happiness, pent up emotions had hammered through it, frustration with his own weakness before and with the fact that he'd allow himself to be upset like that. The fact that he'd allow himself to be distracted and his newborn pokemon to attack without an order. A momentarily unsteady and shaking hand reached up near the his back, for the top of his hood and to pull it over him, to hide his face in the shadow of it for the moment. He was originally planning on just battling out his frustration and doubts with some random person who happened into the lounge, but that just wouldn't do. Whoever this person was, their fates were slightly tied now. He had given the masked woman- this person, two pokemon, one of which he had hatched himself. "We can talk about that later, for now- double battle." he reached out with his right hand, grabbing the fourth and last pokeball on his right side, as his left hand grabbed the very first pokeball at his belt, sticking out at the round of his left hip. He looked at the this figure for a moment, before throwing the two Pokeballs outwards and upwards, catching them as they beamed out his puppy from before, and a Pokemon as close to his heart as any- the talisman of his strength. Scuttlebutt, who's button dot eyes looked at Taiki with strange speculation for a moment, before giving a happy bob of the head towards Setanta. ::Weedle:: Scuttlebutt was sent out to battle.
::506:: Setanta was sent out to battle.

Alex felt a little hurt by the way Warren was looking at him. He knew exactly what was going on. He had this happen to him before with guys who immediately thought he was a girl until they found out otherwise. They merely mocked him and left him alone. His fear turned to anger as he pulled out two Poké Balls from his bag.
"You know what? Fine. I apologized but I guess it wasn't good enough," said Alex. He released Alraune, his Oddish, and Narcissus, his Metapod, onto the field. Alraune spun around in a circle on one foot while holding his Heat Rock in his leaves. ::oddish:: <"Look at me go! Can you spin like this?"> he asked. His question was apparently aimed towards one of Warren's Pokemon. Narcissus just stood there with his eyes on his opponents. They looked like they could shoot daggers. Alex immediately began.
"Narcissus, use Harden and then Tackle on the Weedle! Alraune, Sweet Scent into Absorb on the other one!" he shouted. Narcissus hardened his body before lunging at Scuttlebutt with a Tackle attack. Alraune began to dance while releasing a sickeningly sweet aroma across the battlefield before hurling out orbs of green energy at the Puppy.
- Alraune used Sweet Scent! Scuttlebutt & Puppy's Evasion fell! (Evasion -1)
- Alraune used Absorb on Puppy!
- Narcissus used Harden! Narcissus' Defense rose! (Defense +1)
- Narcissus used Tackle on Scuttlebutt!

"How am I supposed to feel? You threw out the Pokemon which I hatched from an egg and gave her first experiences- against me in our first spar, if it was you would you be angry 'mysterious'? Hm?"The dark haired young man's voice was shaky with anger and irritation, icy blue eyes passively taking note of the moves so far, but not freaking out. He believed in Scuttlebutt, and Setanta had proved his strength already, even against a combination like this- he wasn't going to stop believing in them. "Scuttlebutt, hit that metapod with a stringshot before it rocks away, and then hit him hard with a poison sting before it can get away." he took a deep breath, removing the hood and calming himself. "Setanta, user leer and bite on the Metapod."Scuttlebutt had been standing on his back pods when the tackle rocketed forward at him, knocking him to the side and making those little button eyes of his glint not too cutely. Perhaps he had gotten more and more of his owner's personality towards battles, or perhaps he wasn't expecting another bug Pokemon to just assault him like this- but he was not happy from it. The little hairy bug's button eyes looked at best indignant, at worst frothing with irritation. Without a word, the beige and brown and pink bug shot a blast of string shot at the greed cacoon, and charged forward to hit it his horn, channeling the poison of his body forward for a poison sting. The horn glinted with purple energy as the poisonous sting coated it, and he charged as fast as his pods would take him. Setanta, meanwhile, did as his 'daddy' had told him to do, leering over at Narcissus as he had been asked, and while distracted by that sweet smell that graced his nose, charging forward to do that move that his owner had told him to do. The little puppy Pokemon wasn't entirely sure what Warren meant by 'bite', though he definitely knew how to bite, it could mean anything- anything at all, he could do lots of kinds of bites... but this animal was green wasn't it! That meant he should do the same kind of bite as he did to his cherry friend! His arm stung, and this thing was probably one of those type of pokemon that did those dastardly things! And so it opened it's mouth, barking for a moment, before sending a blast of fire forward at the Metapod- and if timing was bad, and as Scuttlebutt was charging forward at the cacoon who had just hardened, timing was probably going to be horrible. The heat itself was making the little worm wobble along with the attack from before, and the fire hadn't even got near him yet. ::Weedle:: Scuttlebutt was hit by Tackle, used string shot and poison sting on Narcissus. Hit by Fire Fang*.
::506:: Setanta used Leer and Fire fang on Narcissus. Fire Fang hit Scuttlebutt as well.

Alex watched as both of Warren's Pokemon ganged up on Narcissus and take him out with one shot. How cruel... This Warren Orainge was really ticking him off. He was being all snappy about Amaterasu, which he admitted was a bad decision, and then doing something as sneaky as this? Build a bridge and get over it because he was the one who gave it away in the first place. Though Alex was taking good care of it, he felt insulted as a Trainer at what he did earlier. So not only was he mad at Warren but himself, too! Life sucks.
"Come back, Narcissus," said Alex. Narcissus returned to his Poké Ball. Alex threw out another. He decided to stop talking entirely unless it was ordering his Pokemon to attack. Out of the device came Genbu, a Turtwig. ::turtwig:: <"Ready to go!"> said the Tiny Leaf Pokemon.
"Alraune, use Absorb on Scuttlebutt. That Pokemon of Warren's seems to be a little too reckless. Genbu? Tickle that Puppy and then use Seed Bomb on him," he ordered. Alraune spun around again but posed at the end this time. He hurled more green orbs of energy at Scuttlebutt, hoping to drain him. Genbu rushed to the Puppy and began to Tickle his sides before spitting out a large seed that would explode on impact at his target.
- Narcissus was hit by String Shot! Narcissus' Speed fell!
- Narcissus was hit by Poison Sting!
- Narcissus was hit by Fire Fang! It was super-effective!
- Narcissus fainted!
- Narcissus gained 1 level(s)!

The little bug Pokémon was burnt by it's own compatriot's wild strike, and wasn't even really ready to move, after that friendly fire, he was a bit confused on what to do entirely. The beige and pink and brown bug wasn't ready to dodge that green bubble floating his way, and as soon as it hit him, draining his health, he stumbled to the ground, fainting clearly. Warren bit his lip, this wasn't good at all. The icy blue eyed young man grabbed Scuttlebutt's pokeball, withdrawing the hairy bug into his Pokeball and grabbing the next Pokémon he trusted. It was stupid- he was too flustered from the sight of Alexander-Taiki so quickly after the incident before that he wasn't thinking. But none-the-less, Cre, his Phanpy, was sent plopping to the ground after a toss of the third pokeball on the left side of his belt. "You did a good job, Scuttlebutt." he muttered to the fainted Weedle, before giving Taiki a nod. "At least tell me your name?" perhaps the shock of his Pokémon fainting so quickly had cooled his attitude, or perhaps his irritation from Cherubi fainting before was lessened. It was obviously his fault just as much, Setanta was reckless- crazy even. It didn't know the ins and outs of battles yet, even if it was strong. The blue and red elephantine Pokémon blinked, looking at those grass types and then to his trainer. It wasn't really used to the prospect of joining what seemed to be a heated battle that was also a double battle, but it stood its ground regardless. The little puppy- Setanta, he wasn't ready for the assault that came his way as the turtle thing tickled him, and then send a seed blast his way. He just wasn't ready for it at all, and he whimpered after the ball had hit him that way, looking pitifully at the Turtwig, before leering at it angrily, and growling. Warren nodded to it. "Go ahead, Setanta Fire Fang on the new comer. I get the feeling he's a bigger threat then the Oddish." He nodded towards Cre. "Use Defense Curl and then hit the oddish with a stone's edge." The young man's eyes looked hazily at the battlefield, he really didn't have the heart to complete this battle, but his pride and determination was such that he felt he had to- and if that meant hitting hard and fast that's what he'd do.

"My name? Why do you care?" asked Alex. He was still angry and he didn't care much for responding to Warren politely at this point. He had to focus on the battle and hopefully being able to overcome his opponent.
"Both of you! Dodge!" he shouted. Alraune saw his new opponent come out and use an attack. He began to spin and leap this way and that way to dodge the rocks that tried to strike him. Genbu rolled away from the Puppy in his shell and stopped after he was safe. "Alraune, use Absorb on Cre! Genbu, follow up with a Seed Bomb! he shouted.

Warren was surprised at the graceful dodges of Alraune the Oddish, and the far more clumsy dodge of the Turtwig, but stayed calm, in this battle or not in it, he wasn't going to lose his cool. Fire Fang wasn't the most accurate attack despite its power, and Stone Edge was more disappointing. But it wasn't worrying, not any of it was until those bullets of seeds shot out at Cre, hitting her hard and knocking her backwards despite her tightened body in her defense roll. The strike was hard hitting- but she hung on thanks to the sheer difference in their strength. She wobbled upon her feet, up until seconds later the absorb hit her, knocking her to the ground, fainted as well. Warren's teeth grit together, but his mind was calm, his previous emotions had almost been washed away as he watched this battle move onwards and onwards. Without a word he withdrew his fainted Phanpy, and reached for the second pokeball on the right side of his belt, throwing out a spunky, if a bit wry and strange looking- bird Pokémon who cawed for a moment, flapping around. Warren nodded confidently to his Pokemon, if the mysterious woman was going to gang up then there was no reason not to do it himself. He nodded to Boreas, speaking simply. "Use Peck on the Turtwig!" he looked to his worn out little puppy of a Pokémon and nodded, rushing to his side with a potion quickly pulled from his backpack. He sprayed the potion against the hurt little pokemon, healing it quickly. As he sprayed the potion, he looked over towards Alex. "Because it'd be nice to know..." Hit by Seed Bomb & Absorb. Cre Fainted.Healed by Potion.Used Peck on Genbu. [ooc; Cre gains 1 level from fainting. ]

Genbu and Alraune were pretty proud of themselves for being able to take out that one Pokémon with their combined efforts. Go, Grass-type Pokémon! Yeah! Their cheer was interrupted when Genbu was suddenly hit on the head by a Peck attack!
<"Ow!! What was that for?!"> he cried. Alex thought about Warren's insisting on the knowledge of his name. He decided to just tell him. After all, he'll be remembering it if he won this battle.
"My name is Alexander Balfour. I already know you, Warren Orainge, so we can skip you at least," said Alex. He really was angry. He was not letting up because of his stubbornness. "Genbu, use Hardne and then Seed Bomb on the Puppy. Alraune, use Acid to assist," he ordered. Genbu retreated into his shell for a moment to raise his Defense before firing another Seed Bomb at the Puppy. Alraune used Acid on the Puppy as well.
- Alraune gains 1.5 level(s)!
- Genbu gains .5 level(s)!
- Genbu was hit by Peck! It was super-effective!

The spray of acid was hard for either of Warren's Pokemon to really dodge effectively, slight pain and harm cutting through them both as the puppy stood it's ground after being healed, and Spearow gained altitude after pecking the turtle Pokemon. Warren was really getting tired of taking chances with this, and obviously this mysterious figure had no intent to fight fair. So neither would Warren- his ego was starting to get fanned, and the figure, this Alex, didn't seem to care if they hurt his pokemon seriously or not. So he'd go back to the better tactic, taking out Taiki's pokemon with both of his pokemon fighting it at once. His little puppy was once again somewhat hurt, from the seed bombing, and it growled. Warren took control. "Boreas, hit the Turtwig with a Leer and a Peck! Setanta, make sure that Turtwig is taken out as soon as possible, hit it with a leer and a fire fang!"The bird was already furious from the slight burns it gained from the acid attack, and glared at the turtle, leering before swooping down with great speed, gathering energy around it's beak and pecking the turtle again. The puppy, was only splashed in part by the acid, and while hurt from it and the seed bomb, was still standing quite easily, and leered at the Turtwig as well, before bearing its teeth and channelled a blast of fire in the shape of fangs and teeth, fire fang charging towards the turtle. ::506:: Hit by Acid and Seed Bomb, somewhat hurt. Used Leer and Fire Fang on Turtwig.
::Spearow:: Hit by Acid, used Leer and Peck on Turtwig.

Unfortunately for Alraune, his partner in this battle was taken out quickly by the combination of super-effective attacks that were thrown at it. Genbu fainted on the spot. Alex quickly returned Genbu to his Poké Ball.
"Sorry, Alraune. It looks like you're the only one left. Use Acid on the both of them," ordered Alex. Alraune nodded and hurled another wave of Acid towards his two opponents.

The acid hit them harder this time, as both of the Pokémon which Warren had out were near Alraune the Oddish then. They didn't have much time to dodge the splashing damage coming their way, and in the end it sent Boreas sputtering towards the ground for a second as it cawed angrily from the damage to it. It landed on it's feet, glaring at Alraune aggressively before Warren could even take control of the situation. But he did, as his icy blue eyes realized that the pain had made his Spearow go back into its old time predator mode, he'd have to be particularly loud with it. "Boreas, you've been a great help- but you need to back off! You are not a wild animal and don't you even consider attacking Alex's Oddish like that!" the bird glared banefully at its trainer, but fluttered back to him, utilizing the move he had taught it recently with a technical machine, roost. It could feel its health coming back already. The dark haired young man gave a nod to his puppy, though. Speaking simply and calmly towards his somewhat wore out puppy, who had lasted the past few minutes of this frantic battle- he nodded. "Don't back down though, Setanta. You've only been alive for a little bit so far- but you've been a great buddy throughout this time, and I know you're powerful! Leer at the Oddish and then hit it with a Fire Fang!"The puppy barked happily at the mention of its name, quite sore from its acid bath, and the other attacks, but determined to win this game for its 'daddy'. It leered at the plant, its eyes glowing evilly for a moment, before baring its teeth, summoning another blast of fang shaped fire towards the grass type, a fire fang coming clearly towards it. Used Leer and Fire Fang on Alraune the Oddish.Used Roost.

Alraune had no choice but to be hit by the Puppy's Fire Fang move. Unfortunately, he was not too keen on his defenses at this stage and he was knocked out on the spot. His Heat Rock was still clutched in his leaves. Alex recalled his Pokemon.
"There... You win," said Alex. He was disappointed but he really was just fighting out of anger. That was never a good thing. He could have pulled Himiko out but there was really no point. He placed the Poké Ball in his bag before turning to leave again.

Warren was way quicker with his hands even in this somewhat stormy emotional state than one would expect, quickly grabbing the Pokeballs of Boreas the Spearow and Setanta the Puppy, and swallowing them into those orbs with a quick command of 'return'. The pokeballs were back at his belt within seconds, and the young man stormed forward, his icy blue eyes alight with emotion- and seeming to almost glow against his dark hair and pale skin. He stepped as quickly as he could, and soon was across the battlefield, dodging past the grass and the boulder.
The scion of the Orainge and Teally Clans moved without hesitation onwards to Alex, his damsel-in-distress from the Articuno's vision, and without a word, his somewhat toned arms would attempt to turn the young woman [heehee] and attempt to place a kiss upon Alex's cheek. His face was flustered with the heat and passion of the second, thinking this young lady [right?] would hate him forever if he didn't stop this. He had gotten out of control, and there was only one thing to say to it.
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have let my emotions get out of control like that, I got angry at you for an accident- and I let myself forget why I even gave you my Cherubi... I want us to be friends, and I think you can make her great."
He smiled slightly, before attempting to break the momentary hug and walk away.
[ooc; +2 levels for Setanta for fainting Alraune the Oddish unassisted, times 2 thanks to the lucky egg. +4 levels total for Setanta. ]

Alex was about to just leave that room with hard feelings between himself and Warren. He didn't really want it to come to this but he was pretty peeved. He truly didn't mean to hurt Amaterasu that way but he was clumsy so it was still his fault. However, before he could get out, he was stopped by Warren who promptly turned him around and kissed him on the cheek. Alex was shocked and turned red almost instantly.
"W-Warren? What are you doing?" he asked. He attempted to hide his face from him. He was still angry but now he was just embarrassed! He didn't really know why but he was. He was kissed by the gentle from the Articuno's Vision who had been so kind to him. He had a feeling that Warren wasn't completely aware of the situation but he didn't not to question.
"You want to be friends with me? After what I did to Amaterasu?" he asked. Warren did seem genuinely sorry for losing his cool so his anger seemed to just dissolve out of his body. He was still blushing, however. "I-If you can forgive me for my mistake then I wouldn't mind being friends, Warren. You didn't have to..." said the flustered Pokemon Trainer. He seemed a little fearful...

The dark haired young man gave one of those 'shonen main character' grins he was too often prone to give, his teeth all showing as his mouth opened wide with a smile, and his dimples making his own eyes squint for a moment. Without a word of reply to Taiki's response, the dark haired young man stepped back from the young man, tilting his head. His left arm came up straight in line with his shoulder, as he reached forward to shake his friend's hand, it seemed inappropriate to do more than that- even if he still thought Alex was a girl [and he did].
"You didn't perform the mistake on purpose- not really..." he blinked at his friend, those icy steel blue eyes disappearing behind dark brown eyelashes a few times as he stared intently at Alex's face. "You were just... afraid I guess." he shrugged, smiling stupidly. "Just promise me you won't hide anymore- and that I can see Amaterasu soon to make amends, she's probably really upset with me... infact write down my Pokegear number, 934-453-8888. "
Then he got a serious expression on his face, done with being a motor mouth, simply waiting to shake Taiki's hand.

Alex smiled at Warren's gesture. He was glad that the whole thing with Amaterasu was done with and they could be friends. He took a deep breath and exhaled before reaching out and grabbing Warren's hand and shaking it. There was a bit of guilt in his eyes but he was okay.
"Yeah. I'm sure she'll be very happy to see you," he replied. When Warren told him his Pokégear number, he had to try and remember all the numbers while inputting it into his own Pokégear which is seldom used. Perhaps now he would have some sort of use for the device. He then put it back into his bag and smiled at Warren with a radiant glow.
"Thanks, Warren. I don't think I would have been able to leave this alone if we didn't try to patch things up. I'll be seeing you around?" he asked.

"Yeah, see you around." the dark haired young man tossed up his left hand in a wave, and exited the trainer's lounge room which they had been battling in. He zipped up his orange hoodie as he went, entirely neglecting to ask for Alex's number in return so he could call the person he had given two of his pokemon to in return.
