Magician's relaxing exposition(invite/MOD)

[Noerd]

The Rattata and her trainer both seemed to realise that this would be the end for their battle together. That said, they weren't going to give up on this battle until the very end. And that "very end" hadn't come yet, so Nyx had one last move in her. Alexander simply scoffed at this defiance. He knew he had the match in the bag now. Why didn't they just heed Penoa's comments? Now he might have to get mess up his fur again. Damn persistent rats and their... persistence. The tenacious Nyx returned to all fours and zipped forward with amazing pace, slamming into the resilient poodle that opposed her with as much force as she could generate. Unfortunately for her, said force was about as great as the force that a pea would apply to the Great Wall of China by laying on top of it. That is to say, not much. Alexander grumbled something inaudible and replied to the Quick Attack with a thunderous slap from his well-groomed head, knocking Nyx aside and sending her crashing back into the ground. She wouldn't get up this time, sadly for her trainer.

The battle continued to be fierce as the two creatures attempted to show who was the best. Penoa reamined to have his smug smirk upon his lips as his hand rested upon his hips as his chest was slightly puffed out. Receiving the attack order the poodle charged forward kicking up small amounts of grass as it charged onward. However, the rattata got to attack first as her little frame turned into an blur as she surged onward with the directed quick attack. Such as an pebble would do to an brick wall the strange rodent bounced off of Alexander's prized coat before being bashed by the hound's perfectly groomed skull. Flying back like last time the impact of the strick was brutal which the pooch responded with the succesful strike by pointing his pompous nose upward letting out an slightly irritated huff.

"so madam do you wish to continue this epic play or are you willing to close the curtain" the great and powerful Penoa stated in his usual egotistic tone as he slightly adjusted his beloved top-hat. Thinking of how much the girl was reactin to his taunts, the young magician thought of the times he himself was so easily shaken by such methods. Also her rattata did take an tremendous amount of damage and the little creature did have the potential to be an greater partner for her. Slightly glancing at the soil his light blue eyes wondered if it would be better to end so the girl could get the strange rodent healed up. Still he did not want to make himself look weak so his act had to continue to radiat brightly. "all grrrrreat actors must know when its time to accept an horrendous illustration to make their next show spectacular although fools dont see that" the young magician taunted before giving an loud and boastrous laugh. Despite the taunt there was some hint of concern in his voice as the pink haired youth awaited for the girl's decision to continue the battle or head to the center to heal up her rattata.

Beatrix felt a momentary rush of excitement as her Rattata sped towards the Furfrou. She looked so fast and powerful, maybe this time her attack would be more effective? Nyx barrelled into the dog’s side…and promptly fell back. It was as though she had rammed herself into a massive cushion. A moment later, Nyx was thrown back by the blow from the Furfrou and she skidded along the ground, a dusty, battered mess. Beatrix immediately withdrew Nyx into her Pokeball. She had known this was coming, and didn’t want Nyx to suffer any longer.

Penoa was offering to end the battle here, and though his words were taunting, when she looked up furiously she swore that she could see pity in his eyes. That made her even more frustrated. She was not a weak trainer, she wasn’t! She couldn’t walk away now!

“You said we could use two pokemon?” she said, reaching for her pocket to pull out Medley’s pokeball, “I won’t quit until the battle is over!”

She released Medley in a flash of light, and the Bulbasaur blinked open her eyes to steadily assess the Pokemon in front of her. She tilted her head curiously. She had never seen a pokemon like that before.

“Medley, use Tackle on the mangy mutt,” Beatrix shouted, pointing at the Furfrou. This is where the battle will turn around, she thought, that’s what always happens in stories.

Medley gave an excited nod and started to dash forward with confidence. She had always won battles before, why would this be any different?



(OOC: although Medley now knows vine whip, she didn’t at the beginning of this battle so I’m assuming that’s against the rules also it will probably make no difference xD)

[tgapp]

As expected from the last strike the previously used headbutt was enough to knock out the rattata. Penoa offered to end the battel yet the trainer refused the offer which evoked the young magician to shake his head in pitty. "selfish to make your pokemon suffer needlessly" the pink haired youth thought as he crossed his arms. Alexander on the other hand licked one of his paws before using it to fix his fur upon his head and chest. After a few moments of fixing his appearance the pokemon gave wore an satisfied smile upon its muzzle before pointing its nose upward with prudent pride. "Indeed, an grrrand actor do not thwart his own words to his beloved audience" Penoa responded to her in his usual energestic and tuanting tone. However, a few moments later the challenger brought forth another pokemon which appeared to be an bulbasour.

Gazing upon it for a few moments, the young stage magician sighed slightly looking away as he thought about his own starter. He only used it once and felt the pokemon did not have an place upon his ideal team. So he simply abandoned the creature by leaving it home instead of allowing it to join his grand journey. "Alexander it is about closing time let time for the final au revior presentation for the audience" he stated before placing his hand upon his lips before giving an hearty laugh to taunt and fuel his opponents fighting attitude. "transverse onward with haste use another headbutt" he instructed confidantly which the poodle simply nodded before rushing onward. During this time the challenger gave her own pokemon an order which it charged forward. Soil and grass was kicked up as the furfrou rushed onward tilting its head slightly to attempt to bash it onto the incoming challenger.

[Midnightive]

With both trainer's Pokemon wanting to please their owner into a victory. Medley stood there with a sense of pride and confidence. She was fresh to the battle. While Alexander was looking a little worse for wear after defeating the fighting rat. Nyx put up a wonderful fight for being two levels down. Both Alexander and Penoa new this but were ready to launch their next attack.

Alexander a little upset a rat got to touch him, charged forward being faster then a sturdy Bulbsaur. The Furfrou was in no way wanting to lose, and hit the Bulbsaur from side knowing the grass type had a sturdy head. While Medley was wincing pain, she quickly shook it off. She was not going to lose she had a winning streak going and fought back with a tackle. Hitting the Furfrou in the legs. Causing Alexander to wince in pain.

Everything was going alright as it seemed the battle was about to end. After the strikes from each pokemon Penoa nonchalantly took off his prized top hat before brushing it. "Alexander time to wrap up the performance use one more headbutt" the young magician instructed which the pokemon rolled its eyes briefly tired of messing up his lovable head puff. However, he got ready to charge onward once again to deal the last blow. Surging forward it lowered its head to attempt to headbutt into the opposing pokemon.

[Zenith]

Although Medley had taken quite the hit, she seemed to shake off the blow with powerful determination and delivered her own tackle into the cushioned fur of the Furfrou. Beatrix felt a glimmer of hope as the Bulbasaur looked back at her, searching for new commands. The young woman’s inexperience allowed her some peace of mind for those few moments, where her blissful ignorance made her wonder if she could win this fight after all. Whether Medley was just as reckless and hopeful was unclear, but the resolute look in her eyes made it clear that she was ready for her next attack.

“Tackle again, Medley” Beatrix called, daring to hope for a miracle. It was reckless and irresponsible but the eagerness to win clouded her mind. Across the battle field, the Furfrou surged forward, bringing with it a hard lesson which Beatrix would not quickly forget. Relying on hope alone wouldn't win anyone any battles.

((Ignoring vine whip as an attack because Medley only levelled up after this thread began – so she would still not have learned Vine Whip yet))

[Noerd]

(Imma say it doesn't matter in this case, Zenith. Just a hunch. :P Though it's much appreciated for flavour's sake. Not sure if it's actually a rule... I'm just a green and a bad one who knows roughly jack all. All I'm good for is working hard and posting in Staff threads. :D)

Beatrix was learning a harsh lesson about the reality of Pokémon training. Sometimes, it would not be enough to simply try and win. There were trainers out there with the means to acquire some incredibly rare Pokémon, and this Penoa fellow had managed to find himself a gem in his Furfrou. The young lady would have to train hard in order to match this canine and its ferocious attacks. Promisingly, her first partner, who was indeed named Medley rather than the bland "Pokemon", stood with her despite the unbeatable odds stacked against the pair of them. The Bulbasaur listened for her orders obediently, though no sooner had the commands left Beatrix's lips than another powerful Headbutt came from Alexander. This one attack served the Furfrou as well as it had always done, connecting with Medley's back-bulb and sending her back to the feet of her trainer with swirly eyes and a sigh of "Bulllbaaa". One more knock out for the young magician and another brief education on the realities of life as a trainer.

Nothing happens.

At all.

Oh but I guess Beatrix has some more Pokemon and I am not sure if those were acquired prior to the battle's start. Maybe she wants to throw another to the lions. I dunno. Anyway, yeah. Do things, people.

[tgapp]

OOC- well as agreed it would be an 1 vs 1 with 2 pokemon selection from both sides with the winner earning 200 pokedollers. So i assume an staff will sent the money to the winner once the post is done

The final moments of the battle ticked away slowly as Alexander rushed onward. An small thud echoed as the pup bashed into the opposing pokemon sending it back to it's trainer from the successfulinstructed headbutt. Seeing that the opposing pokemon was defeated meaning that Penoa won the battle, he gently put his top hat back upon his light pink haired scalp. "well it seems the curtain closed signaling the end of the small display of pokemon prowess" the Great and Powerful Penoa  mentioned to Beatrix walking over to her. Slightly glancing up at the darkening sky, he silently thought of the battle which they completed. The girl did have strong willed pokemon which had nice potential yet she was still too blind to see when an battle should end.

"your Nyx does have an amusing spirit which if you can harness it grrrreat things shall occur" he ethuasticly mentioned giving the girl an smirk. Gently the pink haired youth presented his hand awaiting for the 200 pokedollers award from winning the battle. "as what was agreed madam 200 pokedollers please" he politely requested the money from the defeated trainer. Alexander sat listening to his master before licking one of his front paws to streighten up his precious coat. After an long while of tediously making sure everything was streight an proud smile flashed upon his muzzle knowing that he looked fabulous like usual.

[Zenith]

(Thanks Noerd, but it made sense, since we made this battle a two pokemon battle because Beatrix only had those two at the time, so to acknowledge any changes seemed odd – also you’re a gem and your work is much appreciated)


Beatrix felt her stomach drop as Medley was hit again, flying back to land at her feet. She groaned and did not get up. Beatrix knelt down to lay a hand on her Pokemon, suddenly falling out of the feverish battle fever she had been in. What had she done? She’d thrown Medley into a fight she knew she couldn’t win. And for what purpose?


Beatrix could hear Penoa speaking, and when she looked up she realised with horror that her eyes were wet with tears. She did not know how to lose with grace, and the humiliation of the loss coupled with the shame of having hurt her Pokemon was too much for her. Beatrix pulled out a pokeball and withdrew Medley, hoping the Bulbasaur would be more comfortable in there until she reached Cherrygrove and healed her Pokemon.


She rose to her feet, digging into her pocket for the money and thursting it into the young magician’s waiting hand.


“Take it,” she spat, refusing to meet his eyes. She stooped and picked up her bags and shoved past him, “I have to go heal my pokemon."

She walked hurriedly towards Cherrygrove city, refusing to stay and chat with her opponent for another moment. She had paid $200 for a harsh, but important, lesson. It would remain to be seen if she could learn and grow from it.





OOC: All good to end the thread here? Can a staff member please transfer $200 from my account to Penoa

Got dis ;D
~Lamont

[tgapp]

Patiently the young magician gazed upon his opponent as the loss began to sat with the girl. His light blue eyes silently gazed upon the girl until she finally looked up. Noticing Beatrix's wet eyes, he slightly looked away remembering his own times he felt sad about losing at something. "maybe I was to harsh" he silently thought hoping his opponent would be brave enough to continue upon her journey. After all the girl did have potential which he hoped she would learn from the fault to rise from the ashes of defeat.

Once the $200 was handed over, the pink haired youth silently gazed upon the money as it felt dirty in his hands. Instead of the usual prideful smirk, he wore an sour frown as he continued to think of his opponent's depressed demeanor as she shoved passed him. "Alexender time for your beauty sleep" the Great and Powerful Penoa instructed his furfrou which it responded with an happy bark. He withdrew the pokemon before heading to Cherry grove city to do some shopping before heading to Violet.
