Watching challengers struggle was always a bit difficult to watch, but at the same time it meant Bugsy was really showing just how much of a force to be reckoned with the undervalued bug pokémon were. Not to mention helping his challengers grow into better trainers. A delightful position for all bug catchers of the world no doubt. But the gym leader wasn't so air headed as to gloat about how wonderful Scyther was; that would be unsporting. Still, the pride in his scyther was hard to miss as the young boy was practically glowing while he watched the mantis pokémon shift about. "Stalling for your own trump card?" he prodded, curious as to what Warren could have in store for him next. After the antlered swinub Bugsy was rather curious what other interesting pokémon this boy could have. He'd already shown a rare fire type, and that his party contained less popular pokémon like tangela. It was always refreshing to meet up with trainers like that. Who knows what they could send out next. "You know how to deal with that Scyther. Best way to avoid it is to be faster. Go, quick attack again!"Much like the last time Scyther set off so swiftly her form was a blur. At least this time Tangela was a bit more prepared thus able to keep track of where the towering bug type was going, albeit with some lag. And it was that lag that was the trouble. Tangela was still whipping herself around trying to gather up enough soporific spores for her own attack when the backside of Scyther's claws slammed into her body. Tangela went tumbling to the side. With each roll her vines became more loose as her head swam. Eventually she stopped, and as she did so did her consciousness. "Maybe a bit too harsh there Scyther," the walking bug encyclopedia commented somewhat quietly for his prized bug to hear. But Bugsy's soft smile quickly returned. That was just part of battling. In the end it would only make Tangela stronger in the long run. "Have anyone else you want to put up against my Scyther?" he inquired gently.

Bugsy had spotted his trump card pretty easily. There was no real sense in trying out Tangela’s battling capabilities, so it was pretty obvious that Tangela was kind of being used as a pawn. Although not very nice, it was the only thing that would keep Warren in the battle. “Well, not everyone has a Pokemon with swords for arms mister.” Warren was over this whole battle. He wanted to go sleep; this battle was pointless! Not very mature, Warren frequently threw diva fits.
“I’ll use Numel then. My trusty little cow Pokemon.” Little did Warren know that the species was more alike the camel family than the cow family, but that was beside the point. The Numel yawned, wishing for more rest and relaxation. But she was quite the good battler, her fire typing would certainly help out Warren in this trying time. Warren’s mood fluctuated more than ever in tough battles, one point he’d be cocky, the next he’d be nervous, and now he’s disgruntled. “Hmph. Moo, show him your flame burst attack.” Warren hoped for the best, but Scyther was a strong foe. (( 186 to incubatorz ))

Warren's annoyance went unnoticed by Bugsy and the boy genuinely laughed at the comment regarding Scyther's arms. Sweet innocent ignorance. After he was able to compose himself he beamed a bright smile Warren's way, "That's true. She does have a bit of an advantage that way on the offensive side of things," he agreed. "But it just goes to show that there's strong bug pokémon out there just like all the other types people fawn over."Scyther crossed her arms proudly, chin up and eyes down as the Tangela was recalled and another came to challenge her. Bugsy nodded at the return of Numel, not in the least disappointed. Sure it was a fire type and he'd seen it before, but to not play to one's strength would be silly against his scyther. "Glad to see her back on her feet," commented the gym leader, smiling further at the camel pokémon. "I know not to underestimate Moo with how she performed earlier so..." He paused a moment to consider the best opening for this part of their match. Scyther would probably need a bit of a leg up against the fire pokémon. "Alright Scyther, hang back and focus on your target. Get pumped!"The mantis pokémon called her name like a battle cry, planting her feet down and hunching in an offensive stance. Her cold eyes boring into Moo. While the fire type may be oblivious, the eye she was getting from that towering bug wasn't missed on her. She didn't like it. She didn't like that scyther at all. No doubt Warren was in a bit of a pinch from when she was knocked unconscious so Moo knew that there was a weight on her shoulders for this battle. Luckily with Scyther standing still and gathering herself for something bigger in the next round that left her an easy target. Moo huffed and ducked her head, returning a serious gaze to the intense bug type as the fires within her sturdy body churned. After a moment her power had welled enough to unleash. Moo straightened her neck and opened her maw, barely half a second passing before an eruption of fire rippled out of it like a tidal wave. Bugsy even gasped at the sudden display of power, hopping back as Scyther was engulfed in the fire. It hit its mark and more, leaving Scyther absolutely no point of retreat or defense as it completely ate up her immediate area; splashing to the sides and even behind her. Once the fire dissipated it left a large scorch mark in the dirt layer of Bugsy's gym floor. Scyther herself wasn't looking so spick and span either, her arms drooped while she panted. But the gym leader had a contingency plan for such an occasion. Scyther withdrew a sitrus berry that she'd been holding and chomped down on it. It wasn't a full recovery by any means, but after a moment the mantis was standing tall once again. "Wow," Bugsy regained composure with a chuckle. "I knew Moo was going to be a tough one but I wasn't expecting anything like that. You've got quite the pokémon Warren."

Times had began looking up for Warren in the Azalea gym. Never would he have expected that this battle would turn so quickly, going from a not so good place to one of immense power. But of course, with everything in Warren’s life came a catch. Bugsy had foresaw that there could be a super effective critical hit, thus giving Scyther a sitrus berry to even the playing field. “Hmm… well it was a good shot Moo. If only we could do it again.” Warren knew that’s not how critical hits worked and now that Scyther was boosted so tremendously, he doubted that he had any lead in the battle at all.
A bead of sweat dripped down Warren’s forehead, this battle was so back and forth it was going to make his hair fall out due to the stress. Meanwhile, Moo was very lackadaisical about the entire battle, knowing that she had the power to defeat Scyther, but it was Warren’s decisions that could make the battle a win or loss. “Alright use your Flame Burst attack again Moo! Hopefully we can pull it together and win this thing.” The Numel burst out more flames immediately, hoping to do some damage and finish this pest off for good. Warren watched, biting his nails in anxiety. “Hopefully this goes well.” (( 220 to incubator. Using flame burst again))

"Good shot indeed," Bugsy echoed with a smile, standing tall and putting a hand on his hip. "Let's not give 'im another easy one Scyther. Step it up with a quick attack!" The mantis wasted no time. She stepped up with a buzz of her wings and sprinted forth in a blur of color. Within seconds she was towering over the camel pokémon, a short gust of wind following her image as she bore down on Moo. Her foot came up in a swift kick right under the numel's chin. Moo's head reeled back as her body instinctively shifted to not injure her neck too badly with the sudden force. It was a strong blow for sure, something stronger than the average quick attack without a doubt, but it was far from enough to take Moo off track. Welling with fiery energy Moo released another wave of her flames at the bug pokémon in melee range. It was hard to miss such a close range and gave Scyther even less room to maneuver away before the whole area was splashed in a wave of fire. The mantis hissed and zipped back with a brush of her wings but it was far too late to spare her the brunt of the damage. She landed headvy, a leg dropping to the knee before she was able to recoup her strength to even just stand. "Great effort Scyther, you're preforming magnificently," the gym leader praised. He'd been hoping for a more devastating hit with his bug's focus previously, but there was still one more chance as Scyther wasn't out yet. Though it was dangerously close.

Scyther was definitely performing well, this battle had been going on for years (literally)! Warren was still incredibly nervous however, it wasn’t any fun trying to take on one of the most powerful trainers in the region. This mantis had some great power and technique, Warren wasn’t shocked at how easily it could cut through Pokemon like butter. The knives on Scyther glistened with sweat, it was feeling the wear and tear of battle as well. Warren also felt a bead of sweat drop from its forehead down his face, hands shaking with anxiety. He didn’t want to come back and have to do all of this again! No way could he run with his tail between his legs and return hoping to be a better trainer. He knew his Pokemon had the strength to win, but it was up to him to take initiative and make his words count. If anything, the gym battles were trials for trainers, not their Pokemon.
“Well, use your flame burst again Moo. This Scyther is tough, Bugsy isn’t holding anything back.” The trainer gulped, what was going to happen? Could he pull through? His Pokemon were cute, but did he raise them well? Adrenaline pumped through his veins. The harsh lighting in the gym made him feel watched, on the spot, and as if he was at his own music recital and didn’t know the notes. (( Using flame burst~ 220 words to incubatorrrr ))

"Heh, I don't hold anything back, not even in bug Pokemon discussions, and of course Pokemon battles. Scyther, go for a Quick Attack! Give it your all" the Gym leader hollered, hoping all that critical raging would make his Pokemon hit harder and maybe knock out the Numel. Unfortunately, when the bug lunged toward Moo, it just attacked like normal and did not look like landing a critical hit. Though the bug had packed quite a punch on the fire type. The Numel retaliated with a Flame Burst, as Scyther was trying to get away..... It was too late, and it was roasted like an Onion Garlic Seasoned Scyther tossed with fried okra. The bug type looked a bit burnt and fainted, on the ground. The Gym Leader smiled and returned his Pokemon, thanking for the help. "You did great, Scyther! And you too, Warren." He complimented the challenger. "Here is the Hive Badge for your hard work, a TM U-Turn for winning. It allows the Pokemon who can learn this powerful bug type move to land an attack and for you to switch out. And now you can use HM Cut to cut... things in the wild. Yeah, don't use it indoor." he also counted some winning change, and handed that big ole winning package toward the winner.

+1800 spending money You got a Hive Badge, TM U-Turn, some more monies, and ability to use HM Cut now Moo is now Level 22! This badass can learn Lava Plume, delete a move? and I think +1 Happiness because winning is happiness. Too bad it can't learn chocolate lava cake.
