IC:Melinda walked into the area, with her Alolan Vulpix and Rockruff beside her. She let the air blow her hair and smiled. She had met a nice boy named Judas the same poor boy Mabel had flirted with. Maybe Melinda now had a boyfriend? However that was not what Melinda was here for, She was here for another reason entirely- She had heard screams coming from this direction, so she and her team were now trying to find the source of it.

She saw a bOy being threatened by some houndour, and got furious. She yelled out-"HEY YOU DOGS! PICK ON SOMEBODY YOUR OWN SIZE!" She had her three Pokemon stands at the ready for the battle against the three dogs. "lET'S DANCE, FLEABAGS!" The Vulpix taunted-"We will win you will lose! It's the only destiny you have!" Luna smirked as she taunted the dogs. The rockruff too taunted them, being a snarky little dog. "YEAH HAHA! we'll win.' Upon being offered a pokemon, Melinda smiled at the boy and took the Budew, ready to battle. "Make your first move, doggos!"

The sudden screaming from behind them startled the pack of pups. Helena yelped and backed off to the side, growling like the other two. Of who Havoc snarled viciously as he turned his gaze upon the bright haired woman while Abyss broke off to the other side. Melinda had certainly managed to grab their attention away from Jimmy, but now they had surrounded her. Thankfully unlike the school kid Melinda had a pair of experienced pokémon to back her up. Still, though, it was only the two there with her.

"Ah! Watch out miss!" While he was infinitely grateful for her intervention he didn't want to see her attacked unfairly by the houndour. Jimmy's tearful eyes dropped down to his own three pokémon huddling with him, and likewise their gazes had been drawn upward as a bit of courage was shown by their young trainer. "Y-You're going to need help! I... I uh, uhm..." The kid faltered when Abyss wheeled his head around to bark menacingly at the young lad, however as he looked back to Melinda he caught her warm smile and nodded. Taking a deep breath he settled himself a bit more. Jimmy looked down to his baby pokémon again. Budew chirped loudly, a confidence overtaking the small grass type. It needed to protect its friends!

Budew wriggled free of the group hug and waddled hurriedly over to stand by Melinda's two. While it was certainly at a disadvantage against the fiery dogs it had faith that with all their power combined they would be able to drive the houndour away.

"Good luck Budew! Don't get too hurt okay?"

IC:Melinda eventually focused back on the situation, after noticing the boy lending her this budew. She smiled at the boy and nodded. "Don't worry.. I'll protect you." She herself had two younger siblings so instinctively Melinda was protective of those younger than her. She focused back on the dogs, trying to get a feel for what they were planning. After she thought for a few seconds, she had a clear plan in her head.

"Okay! First Luna use Ice Shard on havoc, and then Roxie, use Bite on him as well and budew use growth!" She knew by pulling off this strategy that she could power up the budew so it could do some major damage. Yeah if this worked, those dogs would go running for the hills. "I'll teach you to mess with kids when Melinda Gleeful is in the area! You stupid dogs!"

The boy wiped some of the tears from his eyes now that he was able to think again with the dogs focused on someone else. He nodded rapidly when Melinda soothed him, taking a deep breath and giving his other two pokémon a hug before quietly shuffling further from the houndour and closer to their savior.
"Thank you lady," he half mumbled as he adjusted his school bag more securely onto his shoulder. With another deep breath he cleared his throat and tried to pump himself up and support his Budew. "You know what to do Budew! Just follow her instructions okay?" The little grass type gave another chirp of its name as the battle started.

First up, a flying shard of coalesced water cut through the air and smacked right into the pack leader. Havoc growled, easily brushing off the blow and returning with a nasty snarl at the white fox. He wasn't able to enact on his threat though as within the next second Roxie was in his face, teeth shining as she bit down on the houndour's shoulder. The hound yipped angrily, trying to return the favor with a nip of his own but the rockruff backed off. Havoc was right mad now, barking instructions to his companions as he himself raised his nose to the sky and gave a spirit boosting howl.

While their leader's voice rang through the forest the other two of the pack set to action, both with embers aimed at the two of Melinda's pokémon that attacked Havoc. Luna received a fresh burst of fire from Helena whilst Abyss was only able to reach Roxie; but it was enough. Schoolboy Jimmy jumped back with a start as the embers licked at the pokémon in the front line, but soon welled up the courage to cheer on Melinda's pokémon.
"You can do it guys! Teach those houndour a lesson for me. You too Budew!"

The young lad then gasped briefly, coming to a realization. He reached out and tugged lightly on Melinda's clothing. "Oh, I-I just thought you might want to know Budew's moves," he started shyly. As he spoke he began reconsidering his actions, thinking perhaps this strong trainer was experienced enough to already know the simple moves of his baby pokémon. Well, there was no going back now. "It's ah... Absorb and water sport... Stun Spore, and you already know Growth." As he recited the list of moves a smile grew on his face. It seemed he was pleased with himself for remembering them all.

IC:Melinda heard him say water sport and smirked. "BUDEW! WATER SPORT NOW!" She knew this would help, it'd weaken the houndours power. Melinda pulls Luna back, and sends out leon. "ROXIE! USE SCRATCH ON HAVOC!!" She sighed,Knowing this may not work but she had to try. The girl shook a bit, knowing she was in over her head a bit but she had to drive these dogs away. She couldn't let this little boy get eaten- that would weigh on her councience forever. The girl sighed. deciding to stick it out. She also kept note to be careful of the houndours attacks.

[Lamont]

Seeing Melinda's cunning smile followed immediately by her calling for Budew to make a move first lifted the boy's spirits beyond belief. Maybe school wasn't so lame after all. If it wasn't for his learning he would be completely and utterly useless here, able to provide nothing valuable but cower in the background. The confidence boost made him more sure of himself, the boy piping up and giving a loud cheer to all of Melinda's team as the girl worked to keep them all safe from the rampaging pack of hounds.

The canines, though, weren't nearly as pleased by the call of any water move. Helena snarled violently, muzzle wrinkled up as she carefully watched the switch out. A vicious bark erupted from her throat as she went straight for the fresh fighter. The leftward houndour took a deep breath, collecting fumes in her gullet before exhaling forcefully in Leon's direction. The fennekin wasn't quite all prepared for what he had just been released into, ears perked and senses quickly taking in everything going on before he was ready to make a move himself. It was perhaps this flightiness that saved him, the smog a hard thing to miss coming towards him when he wasn't focused in on any single opponent.

While Leon was scurrying away off to the side Roxie was having some trouble of her own. She was confused by Melinda's order, turning her head away from the battle for half a moment and giving her trainer a quizzical look. A quiet in Havoc's barks and growls though brought her attention back around, the absence of noise signalling the dog was preparing an attack. Roxie shook off her confusion, deciding to just go with a basic move and hope that was what Melinda wanted. The rockruff trotted forward and tackled Havoc, of who responded with a smog of his own. Unlike Leon though Roxie wasn't in much of a position to avoid it, and what's worse she ended up with a lung full of the toxic gas. As she backed off she coughed, stomach reeling from the poison now coursing through her.

Abyss was next, noting that none of its companions were able to do anything about the grass type about to douse the entire field in water. The hound hissed its displeasure at Budew, welling up its fiery power and giving the grass type a good taste of the flames before the water sport took effect.

IC:Melinda did nt trust keeping budew out, sos he recalled it- "BUDEW COME BACK! GO ANGEL!" She threw the familiar snowboarding pikachu out- a pikachu who had saved jimmy once in the past. The Pikachu couldnt yet attack, but watched it's surroundings. "Leon, USE SCRATCH ON HAVOC!" It was back to offense, as the fire fox did as he was told. "ROXIE, HIT HELENA WITH BITE" Melinda had a battle plan- wear down and destroy each hound one by one while they were effected by water sport. Plus, with no type disadvantages on the field anymore, she could rest assure that all her pokemon will be okay. She kept a note that next turn she should switch out Roxie before the poison hurts her too badly. She kept an eye on that.

[Lamont]

After that nasty bit of fire Budew was more than happy to retreat away. Brave as it was to stand up against the bullies it was still rather scared of its first serious battle. The little grass type hurriedly waddled back toward Jimmy, who met it with open arms. The other two baby pokémon also huddled in, all four of the younglings hiding behind their savior as she continued to wage war against the pesky hounds. The houndour were proving to be quite resilient but from the looks of it she was wearing them down. It was just a question of whether Melinda could wear them down first.
"Oh wow! What a cool looking Pikachu," Jimmy commented in awe as he saw Angel flip her way onto the scene. He'd never seen such a special pokémon before. Angel's presence only made the kid more assured of Melinda's victory. There's no way a trainer with such a pikachu would be bested by some rowdy pups. Jimmy clapped his hands and gave another cheer to support the girl and her pokémon versus the houndour.

Both Leon and Roxie went into action. Leon, padding forward and giving the lead dog a good scratch across his chest, and Roxie sinking her sturdy teeth into Helena. Havoc yelped and staggered back, growling nastily shortly after, glaring after the fire fox retreating back to the safety of its companions whilst Helena responded with a morale boosting howl. Her voice cut through the forest, her claws extending as she psyched herself up further for the fight. Despite the blow Havoc took from the fluffy fennekin it's eyes locked onto the bright yellow newcomer flashing its snowboard around. He didn't like it. There was a strength to that pikachu that Havoc felt could be bad news for his pack, thus he puffed out another purple haze of poisonous gas that settled over Angel. The snowboarding pikachu coughed, the natural mist hanging in the air cloaking the smog so she had been unable to see it coming. She waved her little arms to try and disperse the smog but it had already settled in her lungs, hurting her further as time went on.

Abyss contemplated how it should move, but with Havoc dealing with Angel he decided to further bother that rocky pup opposing them. With a snarl he summoned a hash of embers and hucked them at Roxie. They didn't do much, considering the water doused over the area, but every little bit would only help the houndour. And mixed with the poison still coursing through her it would only be a matter of time before all the little hits built up.

Melinda sighs as she notices the bad shape her pokemon were in. Knowing she has to act quickly, she pulls roxie back sending out Her scatterbug. Afterwords, she focused on what to do and settled on a game plan. "Okay, Angel! Use electro ball on Helena!" The pikachu jumped up and let the ball of electric fly toward the pooch, hoping to hit her.

Meanwhile, Leon was still doing okay and waiting for his orders on what to do. Melinda nods, and yells out- "LEON! USE SCRATCH ON HAVOC1 FINISH HIM OFF!" The fire fox nodded, and lunged toward the4 dog clawing him right on the nose well attempting too. Melinda knew she had to time this right, because this kid was counting on her. Luckily she had water sport in effect, meaning the dogs firepower was weakened.

[Lamont]

The pack of hounds snarled viciously as they witnessed yet another change out. Ears pinned back their eyes were all on the puny little bug that was sent out. Havoc snorted in disbelief. Angel took advantage of the houndour's distraction, enveloping herself in a ray of electrical energy and jolting forward. It was difficult. There were so many things in the way of her and Helena, but the pikachu was determined to give it her best shot. The snowboarding mouse zoomed past Havoc's nose, narrowly missing the dark pup, though the wild pokémon's yelp of surprise alerted Helena well before Angel was in range to make the attack. Angel's attack harmlessly whipped by.

Leon saw Havoc's close encounter and decided to take a page from Angel's book, padding forward to make a swipe at the lead dog before he had a change to recover. It worked. The fire fox scraped Havoc's side and caused the wild hound to withdraw from the field with a limp.

Helena barked angrily, throwing a poisonous cloud toward the opposing fire type. Leon swiftly backed off to avoid the worst of it, only breathing in a small portion of the harmful fumes. Abyss was next to assault Melinda's team, drumming up another round of fire. It seemed the hellhound hadn't quite figured out the full effects of the water sport, which was the only thing that saved Leviathan. The little bug was barely acquainted with the situation before it was surrounded by flames licking all around. The scatterbug squealed in pain, barely managing to remain conscious.

"Oh no..!" the school boy gasped, bringing his hands to his mouth. "That poor little guy, we gotta help." Despite his words Jimmy was still fairly frightened of the two and didn't have enough faith that any of his own pokémon would be able to do any better than Melinda's. The kid hugged his baby pokémon and watched the strawberry haired girl with a hopeful stare.

Melinda looked aggrevated at the state her pokemon were in. Fearing the worst, she gulpe. "Angel! Electro Ball on ABYSS! LEON YOU USE SCRATCH ON HIM AS WELL! LEVIATHEN, USE TACKLE ON HELENA! JUST.. DEFEAT THOSE STUPID DOGS! I DON;T CARE WHAT IT TAKES!" Despiration- that was the state Melinda was in now. Gone was her calm demenur, in it;s place was a fear of the unknown. Would she win would she lose? She was frightened- very unlike a gleeful. But then again, evtn the strongest people freak out once in a while.

[Dan]

Although one of the dog Pokemon was down for the count, the other two proved to be quite the opponents even without their brother. They glared mincingly at Melinda and her team of littles; aggressive and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

Angel sped forward toward the Houndour, giving it quite the shocking hit. Leon too leaped into the heat of battle, finishing Abyss off once and for all. Helena, being the only Houndour left, stood her ground and threw an ember toward the bug Pokemon, finishing it off as her brother fled the scene, unable to battle further. She snarled, what weaklings! She’d show these little Pokemon who top dog was in these parts. After all of the commotion, Angel shook in pain as it felt the damage of poison.

IC:melinda was furious at her little scatterbug going down, and growlked. She tossed out rocie once more, and growled- "USE BITE ROXIE,and then Angel use Electro ball on helena! then, leon use scratch on helena as well. TAKE OUT THAT DOG FOR WHAT SHE HAS DONE!" a gleeful was pissed. this was the worst state ever for Melinda to be in The rage was flaring in her blue eyes, a sign she wanted blood. This was a rage never seen before probably because her precious team was hurt.

Jimmy was getting unsettled again. The tone of Melinda's voice had completely shifted when her little scatterbug had been defeated. The child whimpered, hugging tightly all his baby pokémon to try and comfort them; Budew staring up at the red head in wonder. The boy remained quiet as the next exchange raged on between his savoir and the last remaining houndour. It was really putting up a fight.

Leon went into action immediately. Roxie too, but by the time she was released back onto the field Leon was already upon the black dog and giving her a good long scratch down the side. The opposing hound snarled viciously, a smoke gurgling in her throat with eyes locked on the attacker. Before she could get it out though Roxie swept up and landed a bite on one of her legs. Helena yelped, sending her poisonous fumes after the retreating fennekin in a desperate attempt to retaliate for the scratch. It was a miss. Too hasty.

Unfortunately once again Angel was at a loss of how to reach Helena. Her other two allies were in a swarm around the houndour and she didn't want to risk hitting her own allies.

IC:Worried for her pokemons safty, Melinda pulled angel back and sent out Luna. Meanwhile, she had Leon and Roxie continue using scratch and bite on Helena. Next turn, she had a plan that would involve switching Angel and Roxie, to give her the last hit on the houndour if this didn;t do thwe annoing brat in. She was starting to HATE houndours with a passion. She used to want one, but now she is second thinkin ggetting a houndour. The girl glares as the dog seemed tobe taunting her. Oh if only her psychic abilities could be used to atatck others. Too bad they can't ah well. She sighed-"I really hate the poisoning thing... howd those dogs learn that move anyway?"
