she later found herself moving forward, glancing at those people who happened to be talking. though she never really did catch a whole lot of what they were saying. she merely just went along with it, watched the walls. made sure she didn't stray her eyes too far from her area. she honestly held herself back from letting her partner from within his confines. he was a rowdy pokemon, and most likely wouldn't stand being pushed around. or, it might be the complete opposite. he might just be center of attention. whichever the case was, he wouldn't enjoy it. scarlette's eyes flitted down to her bag, her hand resting on the side of it. she let out a soft sigh and glanced about her.
should she wait a little longer? or was it safer to just get the hell out of here? tagged // DRAA || notes // posted <3

e v a n h a r p s There ended up not being enough time for her to get out of there, as just then, Evan shoved open the doors to the other side of the stage and took his place on the field. It seemed there was another girl there, looking quite confused with her surroundings. He brushed a hand through his hair, ruffling it up slightly as bangs once again fell across one of his eyes. His other one regarded her with a slightly amused stare. People usually had their pokemon out if they wanted to battle. "You're looking like a hot mess." He remarked. "Are you here to battle or not?" Regardless of her answer, he tossed a pokeball into the air and released his pokemon of choice - a Dwebble that instantly shrank into its shell. This artificial light frightened him, along with the strange flooring. What was this material? He'd never felt wood beneath his claws before.
"Look alive, Conker." Evan advised, yawning lazily with one hand covering his mouth. Gosh was he tired. An insomniac like him didn't get many Zs in, but at least that gave him more time to form plans and ideas.

[/i] he muttered the thoughts and emotions running through his mind, an utterly displeased look shining brightly in his eyes. his expressions were normally very vivid. and it was apparent he didn't want to be up against the dwebble. though she just laid her hand on his shoulder and nudged him. " not at first. but now that you're here.. " she snapped her fingers, and with a grunt the riolu sprang onto the field. he did, however, bring up a better first appearance than the dwebble was. dwebble looked scared. riolu was just mildly annoyed. " shall we start? " scarlette's sarcastic tone entered the riolu's ears, and he poised himself for movement. for the command. it took a second, but when she called out " quick attack! " he immediately pressed himself further and bolted in a zigzag, blurry motion towards the dwebble. of course, the move wouldn't be as effective as riolu thought. but scarlette knew, and she was just testing the strength of the pokemon's shell. how many hits would penetrate it. in fact, she had a thoughtful expression on her face.[/div] ::riolu:: L (5) -- male steadfast & inner focus quick attack, foresight, endure, bullet punch tagged // draa || notes // derp.

e v a n h a r p s Evan only smiled slightly when she turned to look at him, her beauty enhanced by the small sneer she wore. The way she looked at him and his Dwebble didn't really communicate that she was impressed, but he was fine with that. What was the point of appearances when he could kick ass? -- although he did sort of care about how he himself looked. He didn't have much confidence in how Conker looked, though. To him, the snail looked like a sniveling little slave, unable to survive on his own.
Soon the red head released her own pokemon, a Riolu. His eyes widened just slightly as he beheld the sight; where'd she get such a rare pokemon? It looked pretty strong, too, and so much more awesome than his stupid little Dwebble. He could only hope he had a chance against it. Pfft, hell. He had a chance against any creature, if he put his mind to it. Conker poked his eyes out of his shell just slightly so that he could look at the Riolu, growing slightly distressed at how displeased he looked. Clearly he was judging him - but what had he done wrong? Was he going to get punished for this?
"I'm flattered." He replied, grinning as her Riolu sprang to action in front of her. Then she commanded a normal-type attack, and he wondered if she knew what sort of creature she was up against. He watched with an amused expression as Conker took the hit. The attack made a clang against his hard, rocky exterior, which pretty much absorbed the blow. He peered with fear out of the gap in his shell, hoping Evan would make a command soon so he could defend himself. "Rock Blast." He commanded boredly. The Dwebble carried out his order, picking up a few rocks from about his vicinity and flinging them towards the Riolu.

" hmm.. that sucks. didn't even seem to take much effect on riolu, darling. " she said, playing a mock sad face. though she honestly found this hilarious. the red-haired girl snapped her fingers, and immediately riolu's attention snapped into gear. " bullet punch! " she called. the blue and black dog found himself leaping towards the rock snail. his arm shone metallic, steel-like. then gravity took it's effect and sent the riolu towards the ground. after the landing, it caused quite the amount of sand and dust to appear. the riolu was lost in the midst of it all, oblivious to the fact of whether he actually hit the dwebble or not. because, with an arm of steel. you might not have felt anything. scarlette just waved bits of floating sand out of her eyes and watched the battle proceed. there was really nothing more to do at the moment, other than wait for the cloud to clear and await the opponents next move.

e v a n h a r p s Evan totally was checking her out. No doubt about it. He checked out all the ladies without shame - after all, why not appreciate the assets their mothers gave them? - such was Evan's opinion. But now he had other things to pay attention to other than Scarlette. He watched as rocks pelted into the Riolu's arms, honestly not looking like they were doing much damage. Sure, he'd managed to throw quite a few of them, but did that matter when they didn't even leave a scratch?
"Pathetic." Evan growled quietly, shaking his head in addition to Scarlette's witty comments. He would've aimed a 'fuck you' to Scarlette too, but she quickly commanded her own pokemon to attack. Bullet Punch? That was new to him, causing him to pull out his pokedex and investigate the attack as it hit his poor abused Dwebble. Conker released a cry as the super effective hit connected, denting his rocky exterior. A tear threatened to squeeze out, but he held it back with as much force as he could muster. Last time he cried, Evan called him a girl and threatened to thrash him! Fortunately, he was quite a chunky, defensive pokemon, so it wasn't too bad, but another one of those could knock him out easily.
"Fury Cutter and Spikes." He commanded, scratching his chin with one finger. Conker recovered from the pain slightly, determined not to get any more on Evan's bad side than he already was. Worry in his eyes, he lashed out with his claws towards the Riolu before spitting out a layer of Spikes onto Scarlette's side of the field. It was a precaution against any other pokemon she'd have - well, if this battle extended farther than one on one.

" oooh... " she said, mocking his orders. because just then, the pokemon retaliated, swiping his claws across riolu's stomach. this was a startled response, as the fighting type wasn't expecting the dwebble to come back so fast. however the attack didn't really hurt. it stung his stomach, but that was about it. the dog took a step back, tilting his head. " riolu, again. " scarlette voice cut into his senses as she spoke out loud. the blue and black canine pokemon's fist felt heavier again, and as he lifted it, he aimed somewhere for the dwebble.
even as riolu brought his steel fist down towards the dwebble, he realized that he'd seen something. the spikes being flung across the terrain on his side of the field. with a confused look, he glanced around after the attack had been confirmed. scarlette was even watching the ground, a look of curiosity lining her face. spikes. every time she led in another pokemon, they'd be injured by the move. she tilted her head, her finger tapping her chin thoughtfully. she set her other hand on the.. railing? and watched evan. " interesting move.. " she commented, watching as riolu slowly turned to the dwebble. apparently he was stronger, and smarter than he looked. this was good. he didn't want this to be a dull fight. he wanted a challenge. the riolu's maw seemed to widen in some form of a smile.
he jumped back, careful to keep his distance from the evil-looking spikes that were doomed to pierce any other members of his team the moment they set foot on the ground. he just waited for the dwebble's next move. wondering how he'd retaliate this time. if he retaliated. bullet punch had dented the shell the last time. what would it do to him this time? it was time to pay attention and find out.

e v a n h a r p s Evan aimed a scowl at Scarlette when she mocked his commands. Fuck, why did she have to be a girl? If she was a guy, it would've been easier to do something violent to her. "Better be impressed." He voiced with an impatient sort of smirk. A girl that was same as the rest, he thought. All the attitude in the world with no brawn to back it up.
He watched as the Fury Cutter hit for, as expected, not very much damage at all. The spikes were the only non-disappointment so far in this battle of patience. He remained silent as he watched the Riolu aim a Bullet Punch straight towards Conker, hoping that he'd actually pull his weight to dodge. As expected, he didn't. The super effective move hit, knocking out the pokemon Evan construed as the most pathetic on his team. The skin around his eyes creasing slightly, he returned the fallen beast.
Without bothering to ask permission, he lifted a red Apricorn from his bag and called out another to take Conker's place. "Pyre." He voiced, watching the hound leave the confines of the red and white sphere. Glancing at their foe, he commanded, "Howl and Dark Pulse." He inwardly shrugged; would Ember be good on them? He didn't know. Regardless, his pup didn't protest otherwise. In fact, she gave a wholehearted bark in his direction. <Will do!> She agreed happily before she turned to look at the Riolu and howled soulfully. Her attack increased, which didn't really matter since Dark Pulse was a Special Attack anyway. She performed said attack, the waves of negative emotion traveling towards Riolu's immediate position.

scarlette's attention had been snagged by the appearance of the canine pokemon before her. her hand tapped against her thigh as she looked it over. however, it was also then that the little fire pokemon let out an eerie howl that more or less raised the houndour's spirits, and irritated riolu. she raised an eyebrow as the dark pulse was forced from her body, engulfing her partner in the dark waves. riolu had his arms shielding his face, however the sticky dark effects were clinging to him. thankfully, it didn't hurt as much as he thought. and because of this, a counter-attack was in mind. the little blue and black canine lunged forward, a fighting-type move contemplating a strategy in his mind. whether the attack landed, the riolu's voice was surging through his touch. if he landed, the other mongrel would hear him.

e v a n h a r p s Pyre didn't notice the Riolu's 'bow-wow' to her, nor would she have cared; all she wanted to do was execute her trainer's commands with as much efficiency as possible to please him. The Dark Pulse, however, definitely didn't do as much as she would've wanted. The dark emotions of the move were only shrugged off by her opponent, much to her chagrin. The taunting voice of the Riolu in her mind egged her on. <You think you're hot stuff, huh? Bring it!> She braced herself as he lunged forward with some sort of attack...
...but ultimately, she had nothing to worry about. Since her last move hadn't been a physical one, the Counter left nothing more than a small bruise on the Houndour's front leg. She didn't even wince. Evan had to grin slightly at this, especially in light of Scarlette's comment. This was his chance to get a leg up on the battle. "Actually, just about as weak." He replied sarcastically before returning his attention to Pyre. If Dark Pulse was a bad move, Ember was the remaining choice. "Leer and Ember." He commanded. The chipper pup readily obeyed, aiming a challenging stare at Riolu before opening her jaws wide and letting fly a projectile of flame towards the fighting type.

" riolu! counter won't work unless the houndour's attack is physical. quick attack, steel moves won't have effect either. " with a miserable shake of his head, the blue and black canine found himself eyeing up the opponent, examining the distance it'd take to get there. with a quick draw of breath, riolu felt himself surging forward, swerving quickly from side to side in a signature quick attack, aiming to come in contact with the houndour and knock it aside. he initially had little to no effect on the pokemon, as it appeared the dog had no attacks that'd hit him physically.
bewildered, the riolu jumped back after the attack was met through, hitting skin or not. he just tilted his head and watched the houndour. scarlette's dark eyes flitted up to evan. " oh? that's funny. i've already knocked out one of your pokemon. and i have more to back me up.

" hang in there, i think you can beat the mutt a little bit more. you're stronger than she is.

e v a n h a r p s Evan listened closely to Scarlette's advice to her pokemon. So steel wouldn't have an effect against his Houndour? How did that work? Perhaps because of her types - fire and dark. He knew them well, but he had to admit that he had a foggy memory of what type was good against which.
The Quick Attack hit, knocking the chipper Houndour backwards a good distance. She bit her lip with pain, but managed to grin at the Riolu. <See? I can handle you!> She barked, throwing her head proudly high to display her courage to Evan. But her trainer was paying more attention to Scarlette, who was now responding to his insensitive comments. He narrowed his eyes at her in growing annoyance, then smirked just slightly as he replied, "Yeah? Having one in the lead won't save you." He began feeling like he'd have to use his entire arsenal to show the girl what for.
Hmph. The Riolu didn't look so good, which was good for them. If they kept it up, maybe they'd get in the lead again. Evan's confidence grew as he commanded, "Ember again." The faster their attacks, the better. Pyre barked her agreement before letting fly another swirl of flame towards her opponent.

e v a n h a r p s Evan grinned slightly. She looked annoyed; his goal was achieved, then. Returning his gaze to the general battle scene, he noticed that her Riolu was singed quite evenly over the plane of his body. Then he spoke, and his Houndour spoke back. Her face fell at the sudden 'shut up' before she retaliated. <Why don't you!?> Distracted by speech, she was all too good a target for the Quick Attack. Pyre was easily knocked backwards, a look of pain on her face as she got back up.
Evan turned his eyes once again to Scarlette when she posed the question. Hmm, full team? Was he really up for that? "Three." He lied through his teeth. He had two Smeargle just lying dormant in his bag, but he hadn't even released them to see them. Whatever -- they didn't seem to need training as much as his others. "Ember, Pyre." He commanded, and he was obeyed. Flames once again swirled towards Riolu.

e v a n h a r p s Hell. Evan knew the tightness of the position he was in. He'd only seen her Riolu so far, but he was already on his second pokemon. If Riolu kept attacking, Pyre was going to go down whether he liked it or not. Eyes watched intently as Scarlette's Riolu straightened up as if it wasn't of his own free will. He looked in pain and ready to just collapse - a good sign, he supposed. Fortunately for Pyre, she was able to predict his attack before it came and managed to leap out of the way. It was times like this that Evan knew why he loved her so much. Face brightening with satisfaction, he commanded, "Good. Ember again." Pyre's tongue drooped out of her mouth as she panted with exertion, but she knew she'd made Evan happy. Joy flowing through her, she rushed to obey his command, a tongue of flame blasting from her jaws.
"Of course. I trained her myself." Evan replied, choosing to ignore the lacing sarcasm of that comment. He did catch the vibes of annoyance from her though, which gave him some satisfaction. A flaming redhead with a flaming attitude, it seemed.

it took her a moment to register, but eventually she threw the ball into the air, watching as it opened, retracting itself backwards. spitting out another haze of crimson light, exploding as the pokemon within stepped forward. the dazzling light bounced off the creatures fur, shining outwardly in a.. pink hue? scarlette laid her eyes heavily on the pokemon standing in the arena. he was smiling cutely, wagging his overly fluffy tail from side to side. he looked at the houndour. tilted his head, and waved his little hand in the opponents direction. < d'aww! don't tell me i have to hurt this pretty pokemon! look at her. so strong, so brave! taking down riolu. wow! > the minccino exclaimed, clapping his hands together and swooning to the side slightly. scarlette just rolled her eyes in annoyance, letting out a soft sigh and waiting for the pink pokemon to regain it's senses. however, at that moment the stones that lined the arena swarmed the adorable pokemon, digging into his skin and causing a loud outburst of shock and pain to emit from the pokemons already high-pitched, glass-breaking voice. he slid over to the side, poking at his side. he shook his head in mild annoyance and shook it off.
" hush. you can befriend it later. i'd like you to tickle the houndour, then use pound. " the girl spoke, tapping her fingers rhythmically against the wall-like barrier she was leaning on. the scarlet haired girl just stood there, watching in anticipation as her pokemon grudgingly complied, immediately letting out a squeak of apology the moment it was close to the houndour. < i'm really sorry.. > he whined, before he sprang upon her, his tail twitching, trying to tickle her hide. even his fingers were trying to trace ticklish patterns on the canine's skin. to make her fidget. laugh. relax, even. that's usually the objective the minccino went for, anyway. the chinchilla then twisted in the air after trying to throw himself out of the way of the houndour's teeth that would more than likely try to shear off his pink fur that most pokemon found hideous. a twinge crept across his facial expression at the memory of that.
it seemed a wave of deja vu was flooding him. the minccino gulped loudly, raising his fist over his head, before watching as it snaked down as hard as he could. whatever he'd hit, he was hoping for a good enough impact. scarlette just nodded faintly. " good. don't let it fool you, this houndour's stronger than it looks. do your best, i'm not looking for you to get yourself tired within the first three hits. work it out. plan. " she said, a softer tone invading her usual snarky, sarcastic one. her commands were simple, and from the arena, you could see the pink chinchilla nodding earnestly.

e v a n h a r p s Evan gave her a knowing smile as she turned away from him to face the battle at hand again. He looked too, watching as the efforts of his Houndour finally made themselves evident. The Riolu collapsed to the ground, unable to get up, which brought satisfaction to him. Finally he could see what else he could fight. The replacement soon appeared - a reddish-tinted Minccino, which he realized was unusual when his fur actually shined a little. It was unique. Different. Probably profitable, if he could sell it, but unfortunately he belonged to the redhead across from him.
A high pitched squeal erupted from the Minccino and he could scarcely discern what he was saying. Usually he had some idea. But his gestures suggested that he was conflicted, and he was looking at Pyre as he swooned. Pyre smiled at the compliments, not finding them as favorable as if Evan had said them. But still. <You don't have to be afraid. I can take you on!> She barked at him, ready to take more blows. Watching the rocks impale the fluffy creature didn't really faze her at all. She'd seen a lot of horrifying things in her time with Evan.
The pup only responded with a small smile when the Minccino rushed towards her with the intent to Tickle. At the touch, she laughed, her body loosening up and her strength and defenses lowering. It left her so loose that she was a fine target for the Pound that came next, which was hard enough to bring her down to her knees. Dang, how strong was this pokemon? Wincing, she picked herself back up. No, she wouldn't allow herself to drop so easily. She was doing this for Evan!
As Scarlette gave her pokemon a pep talk, Evan thought up a command for Pyre and issued it swiftly. "Leer and Dark Pulse." He commanded. Surely she was thinking so many negative thoughts at this moment that the attack would burn Minccino where it hurt. Pyre seemed to revel in Evan's voice. Grinning a little too happily, she aimed a glower at the rodent before a dark pulse escaped from her and headed towards him. It was imbued with torment and hate - her inner, bitter feelings.

the little pokemon actually whimpered pitifully as her mind was overthrown by dark, evil thoughts. mean things. horrible things. ill-intent thoughts and emotions. they danced and seemed to mock the chinchilla, threatening to bring him down. however, the shiny minccino just sat there, holding his head in his paws. < such a worthy pokemon should not hold such thoughts as these, darling! you're in the company of a strong human being. your own trainer! he loves and cares for you. these thoughts shouldn't be within your mind! > he whined, the hint of a complaint tasting the end of his tongue. he just picked himself back up, flocked his tail across his fur and shook himself out. scarlette tilted her head at her pokemon's squeakier voice, watched as he got himself to his feet and cleansed himself of dirt. she shook her head momentarily.
however she'd missed the moment he'd dashed forward, tail wagging slowly from side to side. another tickle was in session, hoping to bring down the pokemon again, just long enough to unleash another fist to the skin. it hurt, he knew that. he was stronger than the houndour. and after enough pounds his own fist throbbed, though by that time the minccino switched hands. even resorted to his tail sometimes. rarely did he go that far, but he was never sure how long a battle would last. he was more intent on charming his opponent or something, trying to land a decent enough hit that it would just stop attacking him. wishful thinking, yes. but it was all the minccino had. other than his trainer, who was watching quietly.
though there was a smile on her face, so he was doing something right. ( -1 def ) L (10) -- male cute charm & technician pound, growl, helping hand, tickle hit by leer and dark pulse! used tickle and pound tagged // draa || notes // <3

e v a n h a r p s Pyre smiled like an idiot when the cute, pink pokemon called her a good opponent. And so soon in the battle, too! Even though she was still hurting from the critter's pound, it gave her satisfaction knowing that he wasn't battling her out of spite. He was actually sort of friendly. <I've.. proven myself?> She inquired him just for confirmation, her tongue lolling out of her mouth before she executed her attacks on him.
He seemed sort of upset when she was done with the Dark Pulse. Her eyes were a little bit glazed after the attack, but she was still oblivious to how awful the imagery and the thoughts imbued in the Dark Pulse were. It was littered with pictures of the despicable things Evan's gang had done, bloody, mangled bodies of creatures beaten to death. Even she had been a little sickened, but had grown steadily used to it over time. The chinchilla's reprimand caused her to pout. <But... they're just normal thoughts, aren't they? I think about this all the time!> She replied with an oblivious grin as she panted again. Evan smiled at the Minccino's insistence that he was a strong human being, and that he loved her. It was very true, he confirmed. Pyre was still his favorite pokemon by and by.
The next attacks came suddenly - too suddenly for the Houndour, who had no time to evade the Tickle attack. Her muscles loosened again and her body spasmed in an effort to regain control of her reflexes. Harsh laughter left her as the chinchilla's soft, ticklish paws ran over the expanse of her body. <Haa! Stop! Too much!> She cried out, and it was then that the Pounding began. Pleasure turned into pain and she yowled with agony, attempting to get up and roll away from her opponent before the last of her energy ran out. But alas - it was too late. The pain overcame her and she closed her eyes, unable to continue.
"Fuck!" Evan cursed under his breath, shaking his head with a grimace as he called back Pyre. Without a compliment towards the fallen Houndour, he released his third contender - a Swablu that took flight from his sphere with enthusiasm. "Shitpuff." He said the name with slight amusement, a grin tugging at the edge of his mouth. <Finally, an escape from - excuse me?> The displeased Swablu turned around and scowled towards Evan, hating the sound of his name. Shaking his head, he muttered, <The things I must endure for fame...> Before belting out a high note that made Evan cover his ears even as he kept laughing dryly.
"Growl and Astonish. Go." He said after a moment, getting his bearings. The cloud-winged bird dolefully acknowledged his authority, pinpointing his target and releasing a pompous growl towards him. Then he spiraled down towards him, his face transforming into an ugly grimace - the better to frighten Minccino with.
