As the Piplup's attack was successful, he landed on the ground a few feet away. He anticipated another attack, but...before that happened, the Pidgey collapsed and fell to the ground again. She seemed to just stop moving completely. It seemed to be over, and he was very grateful for that. He had taken a bit of damage, but nothing too bad. He was victorious and that was all that mattered to him. He couldn't help but let out an audible <Yes! I did it!> and jumped in the air for joy.
Apollo responded in a similar way. He didn't make such a physical motion, but it was alright. He was celebrating mentally. But then he suddenly remembered. The Pidgey was now available for capture. He was hesitant about it, and looked around, wondering what had happened to the Ekans. Shrugging it off, he took out one of his Pokéballs and threw it at the Pidgey...his first capture of a wild Pokémon...he was already anticipating the feelings he would have about it. He was on the way to becoming a proper Trainer. Jet, who had been watching the battle up to this point had gotten to his feet and was already congratulating the Piplup on his success. They were busy chatting it up while Apollo waited for the result of his attempted capture. He had interrupted its meal...so he felt obliged to catch it and give it a bit of an easier lifestyle than hunting Pokémon and foraging for food.

As the Pokeball hit the Pidgey two eyes stared from the bushes behind the duo. The Pokeball was so shiny, so pretty...
The Pokeball hit the Pidgey dead on and sucked her inside, then dropped to the ground. Shaking back and forth before a faint click was heard, then finally the Pidgey was caught. Then, from out of the bushes, a Meowth jumped out. Taking the Pokeball in her mouth and sitting in the middle of the area. <Purrty...> She said as if in a daze from the shininess of the Pokeball.

Apollo watched the Pokéball as it continued to rock back and forth. It even attracted the attention of Jet and Vance. The Buizel and Piplup stopped their conversation to turn to look at it. When the ball came to a stop with the small click, Apollo was just about to walk over and pick it up...when, from out of nowhere, he saw a white blur speed out of the bushes and snatch it up. Apollo was just dumbfounded at what had just happened. Luckily the Pokémon didn't run off completely and just kind of sat there, with his newly captured Pidgey in its mouth.
Luckily, Jet wasn't so caught by surprise that he took a few steps forward, towards the Meowth. <E-Excuse me...> the Buizel muttered, just as nervously as his Trainer would say it. <That's...uh...that's Apollo's ball...so...do you think you could...um...return it?> He was on his hind legs, arms hanging at his sides. He was still exhausted from his battle with the Pidgey, but he'd be willing to battle even more to get that Pokéball back...though he really hoped that it wouldn't come to that. Vance stayed back for now, but was ready to back his new friend up if he needed it.
Apollo, on the other hand, looked down at his Pokémon with a look of surprise. They had been the one to take the initiative...not him. Regardless, while Jet was handling the negotiations, he took out his Pokédex and scanned the data for Meowth now. Just in case the Cat Pokémon ran off.

The meowth scratched her head in annoyance, they wanted it back!? She had a fetish for shiny things! There was no way she was giving it back! She hissed, grabbing the pokeball and tucking it under her arm.
<"No way!"> She hissed, brandishing her claws. She went on the immediate defensive. There was no way she'd give it back! Mortal Kombat was about to ensure, and this pretty kitty wouldn't go down easily!

As the Buizel saw the Meowth start to get defensive, Jet was about to back off for a moment...but then he got his resolve back when he looked at the Pokéball in the Meowth's paws again. <B-but that's...that's not yours...> Jet said again, taking a couple more steps towards her. <You...you can't just take what isn't yours...> He wasn't sure how he was going to go through with this at all...this was going to be a tough one. If it came to violence, then he would resort to battling for it. Vance was still standing back...knowing full well that he wasn't going to be of much help anytime soon. But he'd still be there, regardless. Apollo watched everything go on, not even daring to move. He was afraid that if he made any sudden moves, the Meowth would just bound off, Pokéball in arm. He had no choice but to leave it up to the two Pokémon that were already out. He just hoped they would be able to get the Pidgey back. He still needed to treat it to some food of its own.... ::Buizel:: Negotiating with Meowth

Meowth's ears twitched as her fangs showed through barely suppressed laughter. She... couldn't take what wasn't hers? Oh that was just too good a statement. It was so amusing that the feline's anger was briefly forgotten in the wake of sheer malicious mirth. >Kyahyahya!< she giggled, clutching her stomach as tears streamed from her eyes. >Oh, you're just too funny.< She wiped her eyes with the back of her paws. >I can take whatever I want.< Her tail swished from side to side as a growl escaped her throat. >And you can't do a damn thing about it.< Her claws flashed with a steel like brilliance as she brought them down on the Buizel's face with callous aggression. ::meowth:: Used Growl and Scratch.

Jet winced slightly as he heard the Meowth suddenly break out in a fit of laughter. He took a step backwards and muttered <Wh-what's so funny...?> But he quickly got his answer. Right afterwards, and without any sign of warning or anything, the Meowth lunged at him. He was caught by surprise that the attacks were successful. He felt the claws slash across his face, causing him to fall hard onto his side at the Meowth's feet with a pained cry. But he wasn't about to just sit there and let his attacker get the chance to beat on him even more...no, instead, he did exactly what he figured Apollo would tell him to do. He didn't have time to wait on his Trainer's orders. He whipped his tail around and tried to blast a wave of Sonicboom at the Meowth, hoping to knock her away. As Apollo saw what was going on, he had been about to call out to Jet to tell him what to do...but he saw him act on his own accord.... Jet was more ready to fight back than he was. Maybe he should work on that. But for now, he decided he should have Jet deliver a follow-up move. "Jet, follow that up with Growl!" he called out to the Buizel. Jet was more than happy to oblige. Hopefully, this would make things easier for him.... He opened his mouth and let out a Growl as menacing as he could make it. He hoped that he would be able to handle this one on his own....

The Meowth was quite pleased with herself. Once her claws hit Jet's face, she felt a little twinge of excitement in her chest. She loved watching others in pain. It was a secret obsession of hers and she thoroughly enjoyed it. She sneered at him. ::meowth:: <"Is that all you've got? Why don't you play with me some more?"> she asked. She asked her questions in a childish, yet sadistic voice. Jet suddenly got up and fired a weird attack at her and she was struck right in the face. She fell onto her back while hissing in pain. She didn't particularly like feeling pain but this meant that he was ready to fight back and she could dish out all the delicious damage she wanted. She grinned while leering at him. ::meowth:: <"Challenge accepted!"> she shouted. She used Growl at Jet before lunging at him with her fangs.

Jet felt the effects of the Growl hit him yet again...he took a couple steps back, intimidated from the Cat Pokémon's growling. But, he quickly shook it off. He wasn't going to let Apollo down. That Meowth...he had to try to beat her and get that Pokéball back! With his newfound confidence in himself, he was able to dodge the incoming Bite attack and jump to the side. He felt the Meowth graze against his shoulder as he jumped out of the way. If he had reacted any later, he would have had Meowth fangs embedded deep into his body. He wouldn't even be sure how to counterattack against a situation like that.... He had to really be careful here. If he got caught by the Meowth's Bite, he probably wouldn't be able to pull off a counter move and he'd be helpless in her grip. Apollo took note that the Meowth tended to use Growl quite a bit...to Apollo, that meant that she wasn't aware that using her Growl attack wasn't going to do any good just yet. Since the only attacking move that Jet knew was Sonicboom, a move that didn't rely on his physical strength, it wouldn't matter how low his strength got. The attack would still do the same amount of damage it always did. "Alright, Jet, let's try another Sonicboom!" he called out again. There wasn't much he could do still. He knew Jet hadn't had a chance to recooperate after his battle with the Pidgey. He wasn't going to be able to win this by himself. Right now, Apollo just needed Jet to come out of this alright.... Jet looked over at the Meowth again. <N-no that's not all I've got...> he muttered. <I...I'll beat you and take that ball back!> With that, he nodded at Apollo's command and jumped into the air, in the direction of the Meowth. He suddenly spun himself around and fired off another blast of Sonicboom down at his target. He had to remember that his goal wasn't necessarily to defeat her...but to get the Pokéball that she possessed back. As long as he did that, he didn't care about the outcome of the battle itself. ::Buizel:: Hit by Growl (Attack: -2) Dodged Bite Used Sonicboom

The precise damage of Sonicboom struck hard, and Meowth hissed, her tail flicking erratically from side to side as the shockwave ravaged her body and ruffled her wiry coat into a mess. >You wet little freak!< she hissed, raising her claws again in her expression of distaste, forcing herself to stay standing as she swiped her claws. >Haha! Hurt some more!< she crowed sadistically, eyes gleaming with a terrible satisfaction that any healthy Pokemon shouldn't really be feeling. ::meowth:: Used Scratch.

Jet realized he was actually doing pretty well. He managed to land a couple of strong blows, and now he had to keep up the momentum. But that wasn't going to happen. He felt the Meowth's claws rake him across his body, and he let out a loud cry of pain. He stumbled backwards, managing to stay on his feet. He shook his head, trying to shake the pain off, but it was hard to do...this Meowth seemed to be REALLY strong...this wasn't going to be something easy to do at all.... Apollo watched Jet get clawed yet again, and considered switching him out again. The last thing he wanted to do was watch Jet get hurt too badly. In fact, he actually started to. "Vance, I want you to-" But Jet caught his eye. And suddenly...he thought he understood. Jet wanted to see this battle to the end...or at least, that's what he thought Jet was thinking. As such, he decided to end his sentence on a different note. "...to stay put and get ready to rush in to help if Jet goes down...." He sounded a bit hesitant, but he would go with what he thought his Pokémon wanted. "Then Jet, let's show this Meowth that you're not somebody to be pushed around! Growl at it and use Sonicboom again!"Jet nodded and jumped into the air and tried to Growl at the Meowth yet again. Afterwards, he jumped backwards, away from her, and tried to swing his tails around in an attempt to launch a third Sonicboom attack. Both he and Apollo figured that Jet wouldn't last very long by himself like this...but maybe if Apollo gave him a Potion when he was almost finished...then he might have the strength to come out on top? The thought was on his mind...and the human put a hand on his bag, ready to pull out one of the three Potions that the Ranger had given him when Jet needed it. ::Buizel:: Hit by Scratch Used Growl and Sonicboom

the Meowth's ears folded back at the sound of the Growl, she hissed and backed up a bit to distance herself. But, atlas, it did no good. The Sonicboom was fast and knocked the Meowth backwards. She was flattened to the ground and hissed painfully. She got up slowly and shook her head, trying to snap herself out of it. She hissed and ran at the Buizel, she held her paw up and sharp claws were extracted from her paw. She slashed at the Buizel in a furious Scratch attack. She was NOT letting them take her shiny new item she had, it took a lot to get that!

Jet saw his attacks work, and he started to feel better about his abilities. Maybe he actually stood a chance after all...well, there was still only one way to find out. To continue the battle and fight it to the end. He was going to jump at the Meowth and continue the attack before she could get back up, but that didn't exactly happen. The moment he got that idea in his head, she had already gotten back up. Thankfully, he was able to see the attack coming and dodge out of the way. The claws narrowly missed his face. He could tell that he just might be getting under the Meowth's skin, and that would hopefully work in his favor. Apollo watched the battle nervously, fingering the Potion in his bag, ready to whip it out at any time. But for now, Jet seemed to be doing a great job on his own. "Good going, Jet, you're doing great!" he called out. For an inexperienced Pokémon like him, being able to last this long against a wild Pokémon. "Alright Jet, let's keep it going! Sonicboom!"Jet, who didn't have the time to use another Growl attack, followed his Trainer's orders and swung his tails around yet again, launching yet another Sonicboom attack. <R-ready to...to give that ball back yet...?> he asked, though he already knew the answer. This Meowth was probably far from finished. He was starting to get a bit better...but he still couldn't afford to get cocky. Things were just getting started. ::Buizel:: Dodges Scratch Used Sonicboom

<You're getting predictable!>the Meowth sneered at the Buizel as she watched him get ready to use another Sonicboom. As here eyes spied the rippling way, Meowth quickly tried to dodge to one side, but her feet suddenly slipped on the icy ground, causing her to land face-first into the snow. <Dang it!>the Meowth cursed, struggling to her paws, but it was too late. The speedy attack hit her again, sending the feline spinning in the air and landing hard on the ground. The Meowth yelped in pain as her body made contact with the hard ground. Meowth struggled to her paws, hissing indignantly at the Buizel. <I still have a lot of fight left in me!>she snarled, lunging forward with a claw-studded paw upraised, ready to slash down on the Seal Pokemon.

Jet didn't like what he was hearing. He was getting...predictable? Would that mean the Meowth was capable of dodging a bit more...? He was getting worried...he was tiring out at this point, and not sure if he'd be able to keep going at this rate. He saw his attack hit, but then that she was able to get back to her feet rather quickly. <Ngh...> he let out an audible groan. This wasn't going well. When the Meowth lunged at him, he felt her claws rake across his body, and he let out a loud cry of pain yet again. This time, he fell over backwards and onto his back at the feet of the Cat Pokémon. No...he...he couldn't just be defeated here. Sure, Apollo had more Pokémon with him that he could use...but it would still mean that HE had failed. Apollo saw Jet collapse...and knew that he couldn't take much more. He tried to run out to Jet, pulling out his Potion as he did so. "Don't worry Jet, I'm here for you...!" he called out. When he got to his Pokémon, he tried to quickly spray the Buizel down with the Potion as quickly as he could, trying to get to him before the Meowth could do any more damage. As the Potion took effect, Jet felt his battle injuries just seem to...melt away. With Apollo's help, he was able to get back to his feet...he was ready to keep going. He gave a grateful nod to his Trainer before turning back to the Meowth again. He was ready to keep going. ::Buizel:: Hit by Scratch Badly weakened Healed by Potion

::meowth:: The meowth jumped around as the trainer was healing the Buizel. It was the puuuurfect time to thwart the trainers plans of keeping the pokemon healthy and kicking. She smirked to herself. She knew the zenith of the match was near and she was ready to win. From now it would all go her way. Once the trainer backed away from the Buizel she pounced forward, using scratch on the water pokemon to hopefully pierce the skin and cause blood to seep out. She was so evil.

The moment Apollo had stepped away, the Meowth lunged at Jet. The Buizel hadn't expected such an attack to come out of just about nowhere. Before he could even react to the attack, the Scratch found its mark, causing a large scratch across his chest. The hit had been so direct that it did in fact draw a bit of blood, as the Meowth had been hoping for. Not much, but a small trickle. The Buizel let out another loud, pained cry and stumbled back. <Agh!> he exclaimed. <Y-you couldn't wait for me to get ready...?> This question did nothing but prove his inexperience. He looked down at himself and saw that he was bleeding slightly. The sight almost made him freeze. But, he quickly shook it off. He wasn't afraid to take such a minor injury. Apollo saw this happen, but he figured Jet would be alright. It wasn't anything serious, after all. Just a small scratch. "Alright, Jet, let's pull through this and show that Meowth what you can do!" Apollo called out. "Give it a Growl, followed up by Sonicboom!" He hoped to continue to lower the Meowth's physical strength.... If he could get it down low enough, then Jet probably would be doing more damage than she could. And that was always a plus. Jet nodded in response and tried to let out yet another Growl at the Cat Pokémon. He needed to keep her at bay...but he knew that wasn't going to do much. So, he followed up the attack just as Apollo ordered. Just like before he jumped in the Meowth's direction and spun around, slashing his tails through the air like a blade. As a result, another wave of Sonicboom was sent down at the Normal Pokémon. Jet could only hope that she didn't try to Bite him again...he wasn't sure if he'd be able to get out of the way next time...and if he was hit with something like that, he wasn't sure if he would be able to counter it or not. In fact, he may be at the Meowth's non-existant mercy in a situation like that.... Hit by Scratch Used Growl and Sonicboom

Jet saw the attack hit, and then saw the Meowth promptly sink to her knees. That was a sign that she was finally starting to show signs of weakness. He'd finally be able to pull off a win on his own...well, sort of. He'd needed Apollo's help with the Potion, but in his mind, that was because he hadn't had a chance to recooperate after his fight with the Pidgey. When the Meowth stood once more and tried to attack, he wasn't going to just let the attack hit again. But what she said surprised him...she didn't want to be healed by a Potion? What was wrong with- No, no time to think about that. Had to get out of the way of those sharp and really painful claws. With that, he just barely managed to jump out of the way. He was finding it hard to move out of the way of the claws. Harder and harder every time. Apollo continued to watch the battle play out. "C'mon, Jet, you can do it!" he called out yet again, probably saying just about the same thing for the umpteenth time, not even aware of it. "Great job on the dodge...try hitting it again!" Still unable to tell whether the Meowth was male or female just yet, he was still referring to her as 'it'. Jet didn't even give a nod to show that he understood what his Trainer had meant. At this point, he just assumed that he knew. And so, he tried to do more of the same. Jump into the air in the Cat Pokémon's direction, spin around, lash his tail around, and send a blast of Sonicboom. <I...I won't let you beat me!> Jet called over at her. <I'm going to win this...!> ::Buizel:: Dodged the Scratch Used Sonicboom

The zenith of this battle was here! Both Pokémon were weakened and the Meowth would have won if Jet didn't dodge her last attempt to strike him down. Her attempt to defeat him caused her to get struck by another SonicBoom attack and she was sent flying into a pile of snow. She was thwarted and clearly knocked out but she had a bit of consciousness before it slipped away from her.
<"D-Damn..."> she whispered. She then closed her eyes and fainted.
- Meowth was hit by SonicBoom!
- Meowth fainted!
- Jet gains 1 level(s)!
