Maxwell king » OOC: Is max back to save the day again? no way... ![](http://i.imgur.com/pGszUtf.png) Having recently put a halt to a robbery in Cherrygrove City, Maxwell had continued on with his travels throughout the Johto region, his target destination a return to Goldenrod City to face Whitney, the normal type specialist to a gym battle. The weather in Cherrygrove City had been a treat, the sun was shining and the winds were warm and dry, a complete far-cry by comparison to the weather that graced Violet City. Maxwell had arrived into Violet City fully expecting the weather to be much the same as Cherrygrove, instead the young adult male found himself in the middle of a snow storm, to which he audibly voiced his frustrations to anyone within earshot of him,
"God damn it, why do I always find myself in the middle of these crazy weather events"
Undeterred by the harsh weather elements, Maxwell had set off trudging through the snow, wrapped up in winter woolies. The ferocity of the snowstorm became so unbearable to continue travelling in that Max had to take shelter inside of Union Cave. The fashionista male young adult had been waiting near the entrance of the cave hoping for the weather to pass, however there was no signs of it stopping anytime soon. As there was no immediate signs of the weather changing anytime soon, Max set off further into the cave in hopes of locating a wild pokemon or other trainers taking shelter inside to get some more training in for his team of pokemon. OOC: For this thread could I please have Rafiki into the 'Current Party' for Jupiter and can he hold onto the 'Exp Share'? Also if Mjölnir could hold 'Soft Sand' and learn 'TM221 Crunch' in exchange for 'Focus Energy', thanks heaps!

If there were other Trainers fleeing from the storm into the cave system, then Max did not see them. Even as he ventured deeper into the cave, he would find even fewer signs of civilization or human interference. Normally punctuated by the sound of development and industrialization, the deeper sections of the cave were in fact eerily quiet. It was as if the entire world had frozen in time for a moment within the Union Cave, which was likely to be disconcerting to anyone who wandered through it. This was only temporary, however, as before long Maxwell would be cut off by the sight of a male figure. A middle-aged fellow in well-worn, dirt-stained clothes and a hard hat. A construction worker, based on how he was dressed, and one undergoing a lot of stress judging from the twisted expression on his face and the wrinkled worry lines that marked his forehead. The man was out of breath and in a panic, pausing to catch his breath at the sight of the much more fashionable Trainer. "Oh thank Arceus, look, you're a Trainer right? I need your help with something real important, real quick. Not for free or nuthin', I can pay you," the man said frantically between breaths. He took a moment to compose himself and give Maxwell a chance to answer before continuing. "Some punk broke in to the construction zone deeper in, caused some kinda cave-in. Bunch of the workers are stuck behind it and we can't get close to it. Cave in's got all the Wild Pokemon in a tizzy real bad. Just need a Trainer to keep the Pokemon off our backs while we get our boys out of the cave-in." Foreman Blake needs your help rescuing his crew from the cave in. Will Maxwell agree to help him?

Maxwell king » OOC: Hero for hire!? ![](http://i.imgur.com/pGszUtf.png) There was very few signs of humans or pokemon about in Union Cave, a definite shift by comparison to Maxwell's last visit to the place. The weather had put a literal freeze on Max's plans and now this development was forcing the fashionable young adult male to idly traverse throughout the cavern, searching high and low for anyone or anything.
The silence that echoed throughout Union Cave was suddenly broken as a man wearing worn-out, dirt-stained clothes and a blue hard hat approached Maxwell huffing and puffing like he was about to blow a house down like the big, bad wolf. The man was out of breath and had a distinctly worried look etched all over his face, it was clear he was in a state of panic. Max's interest was gauged as he heard the mention of getting paid to help the man with his issue, his interest was seemingly peaked at the mention of somebody breaking into the construction zone, instantly Maxwell's blood began to boil in response,
"I'd bet money on that punk being from Team Rocket, that pathetic crew of criminals have been rampant lately"
Whether the criminal organization was actually involved in the situation that the construction worker had explained to Max or not, the young adult male's mind was made up on the spot, he was clinging onto the slither of hope that they were involved and he could get his hands on the vermin that worked for the organization.
"I'll help you out, but don't go mistaking me for some hero for hire! Let's get down to business then shall we?"

The foreman shrugged his shoulders, not particularly caring for what the boy's reasons for getting involved were. If the guy agreed to help, then that was enough for Blake. He had no idea if Team Rocket was involved or not, though it wouldn't be entirely out of the question for them to pull some bit of chicanery like this. "Hero for hire, mercenary, volunteer, I'll call you whatever you want if you're gonna help me save my crew's bacon. The name's Blake, I'm the foreman in this operation." he finally introduced himself, extending a dirty glove-covered hand for Maxwell to shake, if he were so inclined. With the greetings out of the way, Blake would lead Maxwell deeper still into the construction site, eventually reaching a blocked off part of the tunnel. The tunnel walls were littered with small holes and channels, seemingly leading to nowhere. Three other construction workers, clearly exhausted from their attempts to break through the cave in that blocked their path, sat on the ground with glum expressions. A group of Machop, weakened and similarly tired, sat nearby awaiting orders. "Alright listen here boys, our friend here is gonna be our back up! Now look alive and break your way through those rocks with Rock Smash! Any Wild Pokemon come to get in the way, our friend here will take care of them, so just let him handle it and keep at it until we get to the other side!" Blake barked out the orders as naturally as breathing, and his crew immediately leaped to get back to work. The Machops began to chip away at the rocks with their bare hands, splintering some of them with sheer force. This went on for a moment, and it began to appear as if Maxwell wouldn't even be needed as extra muscle. Until suddenly, the cave began to stir. Machop broke one of the rocks, and in the divet underneath it slept a rotund yellow Pokemon that suddenly bolted up, letting out a loud grunt that echoed through the halls. Suddenly, similar creatures began to squeeze out from the channels and holes in the walls, the Pokemon multiplying until a group of five of these Pokemon stood, ready to fight. It seemed as if there would be no wishful thinking, not until the Makuhita were cleared out.

Maxwell king » OOC: Rafiki, smoke and mirrors or all the smoke? ![](http://i.imgur.com/pGszUtf.png) The foreman, better known as Blake, was seemingly unfazed by Max's response to his request for help, something that Maxwell mentally took note of. In response to Blake's retort, Max refused to shake the construction worker's hand as the young adult male simply motioned for the foreman to lead the way to the site of the incident. Eventually the unlikely pair reached a figurative fork in the road as the path forward through the tunnel was blocked off, multiple workers and their pokemon partners looked visibly exhausted, after the foreman called for the group to slink back to smashing the rubble, Max couldn't help but dish out a cheeky verbal jab to the group of construction workers,
"Listen to your boss, move your lazy backsides out of the road"
Max wasn't here to make friends, that much was abundantly clear, the young adult male's over-confidence often lead to confrontational situations, however Maxwell was sure that his team of pokemon would have no troubles dealing with any possible threat the construction crew may pose to him. The smashing process was moving along smoothly, the construction crew and their pokemon partners working like a well oiled machine in destroying the rubble bit by bit, that was until one of the Machop's broke a rock and a rotund yellow Pokemon bolted up, echoing a loud grunt of displeasure to the sudden development. Moments later four more of the species of pokemon appeared on the scene, squeezing through the channel that the worker Machop had created. Max chuckled at the distinct turn of events, in assessing the situation the young adult male determined that now would be an ideal time to introduce his recently acquired Mankey into the fold and gain some valuable fighting experience as he retrieved the pokeball containing the small, simian pokemon and released it from within. The small pig monkey pokemon had came with a note from its previous trainer 'Rafiki believes he is the best fighter around and will not be persuaded otherwise, is willing to fight his own teammates to prove it', to Maxwell that rung like music to his ears, a pokemon with a bit of moxie and a willingness to step on some toes to prove a point.
"Time to prove your worth Rafiki, it's either put up or shut up champ"
'I'm the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be!'
Max and Rafiki already had something in common, their lust to fight and prove they're the best at doing so, a key cog in their new relationship. The numbers advantage was clearly not in his favor, despite this the confident Mankey was undeterred, in fact it served as fuel that stoked the his burning desire to prove that he is the alpha male, not only of his species, but of any and all pokemon. The aggressive, short-tempered simian pokemon was itching to start fighting, he begun shaking and his breathing turning rough in the sheer anticipation of impending combat,
"Alright champ, knock 'em over one by one with Karate Chop"

Blake sent Maxwell a strange look when the trainer left him hanging, his arm fell back to his side and he showed the way back to the crew and gave them their orders. Max's vocal jab gained him several hateful stares from the tired workers and Blake frowned annoyed. "Let me handle the men, just concentrate on your own work," he said gruffy. The work went smoothly and it looked like there had been no reason for asking Max of help, besides a few zubat which flapped past, which each time got especially the machops to send them nervous glances, nothing happened. That was until the workplace got swarmed by makuhitas, clearly annoyed they had gotten disturbed and wanted the humans to get lost. "You're up Trainer!" Blake barked as the workers quickly withdrew from the wild pokemon, they looked expectantly at him to solve the problem so that they could continue their work. They were specialists in working in mines, not battling. A few murmurs were heard when Rafiki was called out, but they didn't know if that was the best choice or not, so no one questioned it. Rifiki wasted no time, as soon as he had his orders he rushed at the closest makuhita and wacked it on top of its head. Unfortunately it was hard headed and while it staggered back, it was still standing, barely. It staggered forward a few steps and gave the mankey a shove, while the rest of the makuhitas, who had been threatening and trying to goat some of the machops into battle but hadn't gotten much reaction, now all quickly gathered around Rafiki. It was time to show that he was The Alpha! They gathered around and plummeted the mankey with punches, and they just kept going and going and going, soon Rafiki was curled up on the ground, just trying to protect himself as much as he could against the onslaught. The last arriving makuhita hesitated, it had wanted to tackle the mankey but couldn't really get the space, and it seemed like it wasn't going to be necessary. The workers snickered at Max's initial failure but it quickly turned into a worried mumbling, since if Max failed in chasing off the wild pokemon, it looked dire for their trapped comrades. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | Makuhita 1 HP: 3% [1/29] | Makuhita 2 HP: 100% [29/29] | Makuhita 3 HP: 100% [29/29] | Makuhita 4 HP: 100% [29/29] | Makuhita 5 HP: 100% [29/29] | | | VS | | | | | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani-back/mankey.gif) | | | | | Rafiki HP: 0% [0/37] | | |

Maxwell king » OOC: Rafiki has some harsh learning ahead of him! ![](http://i.imgur.com/pGszUtf.png) Blake and his crew of workers were clearly less than impressed with how Maxwell presented himself, a braggadocios punk who clearly had no respect for the laborious work they had been completing. The construction crew and their partner pokemon, despite their tired physical state operated like a well oiled machine in clearing away the rubble that blocked the path.
As the horde of Makuhita's presented themselves as a present issue to be dealt with, Blake had called for his crew of workers to retreat to a safe distance, leaving Max and his pokemon partner to handle the real physicality. Rafiki stood confidently across from the horde of Makuhita's that had made their presence be known, there was not an inkling of backing down from the pig monkey pokemon, nor from his trainer.
'You bunch of fatso's really have to resort to some real hood tactics showing up in numbers to take me down, how pathetic'
Rafiki delivered a swift Karate Chop to the noggin of the Makuhita in the closest proximity to him, the bulky built pokemon staggered backwards, barely able to continue standing, albeit still able to fight on, a dire sign of things to come for the pig monkey pokemon. Like a pack of wolves circling their prey, the horde of Makuhita's made their move as they unloaded punches in bunches upon the small, simian pokemon. Rafiki couldn't counter the onslaught, the numbers advantage his enemies possessed clearly too much for him to handle as he curled up on the ground like a defenseless victim and eventually succumbed to the force of the attacks, lying unconscious on the ground of Union Cave. To put it plainly, Max was pissed off. The snickering he could hear coming from the crew of construction workers not helping his agitated mood one bit, the young adult male verbally expressed his displeasure with his pokemon partners efforts,
"God damn stupid monkey, as fragile as a damned flower"
Maxwell returned his fainted Mankey into its pokeball, being a fighting type pokemon the pig monkey pokemon would be highly advantageous in battle against Whitney and her normal type based gym, the small, simian pokemon however had some ways to go battle experience wise. After placing Rafiki's pokeball into his pocket, Max retrieved Edward's pokeball and released the mantis pokemon out of resting and into the thick of it as he stood opposite the horde of Makuhita,
"Edward, Vacuum Wave...NOW!"
The tone in Max's voice echoed volumes as to the serious demeanor he now had towards the situation at hand, he was not going to stand to be laughed at by some lowly construction workers any longer, it was time to put on a display that they would never forget and one that would make the bulky built horde of pokemon regret ever opposing him and his team. Edward buzzed around idly surveying his adversaries analyzing which to target first, he noticed that one of the five looked worse for wear, barely able to stay standing. While the numbers advantage was not in his favor, the speed advantage was indefinitely in the mantis pokemon's favor, his thirst for battle itching to be quenched as he thrust himself towards the opponents ready to furiously swing his scythe like arms and sweep away the numbers advantage one Makuhita at a time. OOC: Into the battle comes Edward the Scyther! Using Vacuum Wave twice (Running Shoes Activated), one on Makuhita 1 and one on Makuhita 2. Yes I had mentioned it in first post however it appears that in the inventory it is 'Held' but in the current party that wasn't the case. Other than moving TMs from Max's inventory to Tai I have not touched Max update wise so likely just missed, Rafiki is fainted now anyways so not too worried! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/2475952/images/3igfqd2fyYPOCoVcYQu6.png)

Someone mumbled asking if this trainer guy knew what type matchups were. First the monkey, which he swore at for losing, and now a flying-bug type using a fighting type move. Shouldn't scyther know some flying moves? Like wing attack? At least this one didn't look like it'd get squished by being mobbed. Which was possibly why said wild pokemon didn't mob Edward. Most of them started playing dirty and throwing dirt at the scyther's face after their first comrade fell. One scurried closer and took a weak potshot at the scyther, but his punches proved too weak to do much damage. They chittered amongst each other and as a team threw EVEN MORE dirt at the scyther. The poor bug had a ton of dirt in his eyes, but his next attack swept another one of the wild pokemon off its feet. Ha. Take that! Even half blind he bowled one of the pokemon over with a powerful beat of his wings. Which got more dirt thrown at him. Wow they were playing dirty now. Clearly they saw they were outgunned this time, and while one swung at the scyther again, most were staying back, taking a moment to think about what they'd do next. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | Makuhita 1 HP: 0% [0/29] | Makuhita 2 HP: 0% [0/29] | Makuhita 3 HP: 100% [29/29] | Makuhita 4 HP: 100% [29/29] | Makuhita 5 HP: 100% [29/29] | | | VS | | | | | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani-back/scyther.gif) | | | | | Edward HP: 91% [58/64] | | |

Maxwell king » OOC: Hang in there Edward! ![](http://i.imgur.com/pGszUtf.png) Whether the construction workers were trying to conceal there conversations or not, Max was able to hear their jeers and snickers loud and clear. The fashionista young adult male's foul mood only seemed to be compounding he subconsciously wondered to himself whether braving through the snow may have been the better option after all. It had been a bold move for Maxwell to send Rafiki into battle against such alarming odds, a pokemon he had recently acquired and not seen in action once before, a lesson truly learned the hard way, one that left a sour taste in both trainer and pokemon's mouths following the events that occurred.
While the horde of Makuhita had been abundantly confident in mobbing the small simian pokemon, that brash level of confidence was not as present as Edward the Scyther's presence commanded the attention of the makeshift battlefield that separated the opposing parties. A five versus one battle, the odds absolutely not in the mantis pokemon's favor, despite this Edward showcased a determined look that screamed confidence that he would not be defeated in battle.
Edward was swift in his movements as he seamlessly zipped to the Makuhita that had initially been targeted by Rafiki. A powerful beat of his wings bowled the bulky built pokemon over, leaving it motionless on the cold hard surface of Union Cave. The remaining four Makuhita gathered closer to each other and chattered amongst themselves, seemingly re-assessing the situation, what followed next caught both Edward and Max by surprise. The bipedal, humanoid pokemon began playing dirty, literally, as three of them threw dirt in Edward's face. The mantis pokemon was temporarily blinded as a result o the excessive amount of dirt in his eyes, meanwhile one of the crew of Makuhita used the opportunity presented to it to take some potshot punches at Edward, albeit they didn't seem to phase the mantis pokemon much as he appeared more so concerned by the dirt in his eyes.
Another powerful beat of his wings swept a second Makuhita clean off its feet and lying unconscious not far from its fallen companion. The numerical disadvantage that Edward had been faced with had rapidly shifted from a five on one situation to a three on one, much more manageable odds for the mantis pokemon to handle. The cohesion that had most recently been shown by the pack of Makuhita had seemingly disappeared as one continued to lob dirt towards Edward, one tried to hit some potshots into the midsection of the mantis pokemon and the third stood still, contemplating what the next move should be, all the whilst Edward was more concerned with trying to remove the excessive amount of dirt that was caking up on his face.
"Dust it off Edward, don't let this pack of overweight goons disrespect you. Keep knocking there block off one at a time, Vacuum Wave again!"
The horde of Makuhita's tactics resembled that of Team Rocket as they resorted to playing dirty when momentum seemingly shifted out of their favor. This crew of Makuhita would make for fine pawns to do the bidding of the conniving organization of criminals. The patient mantis pokemon bided his time whilst slowly working to remove the dirt from his eyes, his moment to strike again would soon arise and when it did he was going to respectfully show the pack of Makuhita that they had indeed messed with the wrong mantis pokemon.

There might have been bets being taken in the back between some of the workers who doubted Max’s capabilities. Really, though, they just wanted to move on and hoped that this kid would shape up enough to chase away the hoard of Fighting Type Pokemon that refused to move out of the way and created dangerous conditions for them to operate in. One of the guys cupped their hands around their mouth and shouted, “Hey, kid! Try an Aerial Ace or Wing Attack!” And considering that the workers definitely looked much older, it wasn’t hard to see how they may have thought that Max was some teenager still fumbling his way about Pokemon battles. Large wings reverberated off the sharp granite stalagmites whose statures rose like statues in the backdrop of the battlefield. It created a loud, harsh melody like chaotic metal music. The small yellow gutsy Pokemon turned to each other, each sharing a knowing stare, and dived to different parts of the cave. When Edward sped after one, another would shout from his side or behind, causing the large mantis to turn around frantically, eyes searching for his opponent. Doubling down worked against Max’s Pokemon and gave the wild Fighting Types the chance to run behind large stalagmites, feets pounding against the rocky terrain in their haste. Several large chunks of limestone and granite chipped away and scattered on the ground. As soon as Edward finally released his powerful wave, it slammed against one of the nearby stalagmites, breaking the monoliths into several fragmented pieces and bringing to light the wild Pokemon that cowered behind it. Makuhita’s eyes stared in wide anticipation. It shoved its hands into the earth and dug through the rocky earth, gathering a handful of dirt it immediately hurled into Edward’s face. Whilst that Makuhita focused on blinding Edward further, its friends pumped their fists wild in the air and cheered their friend on, and by proxy hyping themselves up as well. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/makuhita.gif) | Makuhita 1 (Lv 7)

Maxwell king » OOC: U-Turn into Mjölnir! Things are getting spicy! ![](http://i.imgur.com/pGszUtf.png) As the sequence of events played out before him, Max could only watch and feel the frustration building up from within. The mob-like tactics being executed by the pack of wild fighting type pokemon was impressive, the remaining three seemingly operated like a well-oiled machine, much to Maxwell's chagrin. Edward was trying his absolute best to overcome the odds stacked against him, the mountains of dirt that caked around his eyes however was making the task to emerge victorious all the more challenging. A snarky comment from one of the construction workers suggesting for what Max should do next clearly hit the mark,
"Blake, you oughta pipe your boys down or this tunnel won't be the only thing getting caved in"
The pressure to succeed and save face was clearly weighing heavily upon Maxwell's emotions, given the verbal spray he lashed back with. The strategical dominance that the horde of Makuhita were showcasing had visibly caught the young adult male off-guard, despite nearly everything seemingly going against him so far, his confidence was unwavering. The wild Makuhita pumped their fists wildly in the air celebrating every small victory, Edward patiently continued to work at removing the excess dirt that covered his face, he was determined not to be defeated by such inferior beings,
"Edward, time to shake things up, U-Turn"
The construction workers were likely watching Max's attempts to handle the situation at hand with childish grins etched all over their faces thinking he was insane to back himself against the odds, after all insanity was often referred to as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, it was time to shake things up. The new attacking maneuver that the fashionista had ordered his mantis pokemon to execute would involve Edward punching one of the pesky Makuhita with one of his pincers before swiftly returning to his pokeball and allow for another member of Maxwell's party to continue the fight, a tactic that Bugsy had made famous in his gym in Azalea Town.

It was probably for the best that the scyther get out of there, as it was wasting time with fumbling about half blind. Though an aerial ace surely would have made this whole situation a breeze! The workers watched with mixed emotions as the scyther surged ahead and...well...slammed into a rock before bouncing back into its ball. The men muttered to each other. Not a single flying type move to be seen... and then the next pokemon appeared and they groaned. WHO SENT OUT A ROCK TYPE?! "Are you tryna get us all killed down here?" one of the workers complained. "Hush," another grunted. "Keep your voice down. Loud noises will make this worse." The man grumbled some more about teenagers and type match ups. Yeah, Max was clearly coming across as a newbie teen that was fumbling the ball hard. They watched with annoyance and anticipation as the little fighting pokemon went straight to wailing on the fossil, one even landing a dirty hit that made the cranidos' head snap back.

Maxwell king » OOC: Mjölnir is ready to lay the smacketh down upon the Makuhita! ![](http://i.imgur.com/pGszUtf.png) Maxwell's Scyther tried its very darndest, alas it was to no avail as the mantis pokemon slammed into a rock before retreating to the safety of his pokeball. To the onlooking crew of construction workers, Edward's retreat was likely viewed as a resignation of sorts, a waving of the figurative white flag of surrender as he succumbed to the odds that were overwhelmingly out of his favor. Maxwell viewed the development as a tactical retreat, an opportunity for his mantis pokemon to recover from the insurmountable amount of sand that had been layered on his face, leaving him blindly swinging and hoping for the best. The construction workers' confidence in Max likely dwindled even further as they noticed the mantis pokemon's replacement that now opposed the trio of Makuhita, a gray dinosaur-like pokemon resembling a Pachycephalosaurus,
"You all have rocks in your head so keep your damned mouths shut before I shut it for you"
The trio of Makuhita that remained steadfast in their pack like approach to battle greeted Mjölnir with the same type of beatdown that they had inflicted upon Edward as they wailed on him like a pack of wolves honing down on a defenseless bird. Despite the obvious typing disadvantage that Mjölnir the Cranidos possessed against his fighting type adversaries, the dinosaur-like pokemon remained in good spirits as he patiently awaited his trainers oncoming request for action,
"Lay the smacketh down upon them Mjölnir"
Mjölnir lock his gaze upon a single target, the visually largest of the trio of remaining Makuhita. The dinosaur-like pokemon then proceeded to open his mouth as the inside of his mouth glowed orange as he prepared to fire an orange orb of energy from its mouth towards the opposing fighting type pokemon.

The situation was growing dire. Some of the workers tried their best to get back to the tasks at hand, nodding to each other and sharing inaudible messages on the tips of their tongues. While they obviously needed the help, Maxwell’s dwindling temperament made them nervous. His inability to pick a type that they could easily tell would win the fight made them apprehensive. “Kid…we appreciate the help. We’re…sorry we’re doubting you…” One choked out. The remaining Makuhita surrounded Mjolner with a devious grin. They pumped their fists in the air and goaded the strange-looking reptile with voices that echoed throughout the long, winding tunnels of the cave. As the third one rushed towards Mjolner, eager to slap the small pachycephalosaur silly, Mjolner surged after his opponent and easily smacked it backwards deeper inside of the cave, causing the wild Pokémon to go scampering off in fear. The remaining two nodded firmly, rushing Mjolner from either direction. One slammed its full weight into the Cranidos, whilst the other slapped Mjolner silly with its fists. “Type advantages are taught in grade school.” One of the workers pointed out, folding his arms over his chest. Even if some wanted to move on and save face, many more still couldn’t trust Max as easily. These were easy mistakes the lad made. I mean…. a rock move? Mokuhita were naturally resistant to those types of moves. Max was getting lucky knocking the Makuhita out from the worker’s perspective. His friend jabbed him hard in the ribcage, causing the grumbling guy to groan painfully from the impact. "What?! It's the truth!" The worker protested, gesturing towards the battle before them.

Maxwell king » OOC: Snapback to reality, oh there goes gravity! ![](http://i.imgur.com/pGszUtf.png) Maxwell's temperament was at boiling point, the absolute hide of the construction workers to be smack talking and doubting him when they were the ones who couldn't handle the cave in situation themselves, how pathetic.
The numbers advantage that the pack of wild Makuhita's possessed early on was now gradually dwindling thanks to how easily Mjölnir had dispatched of the largest remaining of the three fighting type pokemon. The remaining two were not going down without a fight however it seemed. Maxwell took a deep collecting breath, despite being infuriated he appeared well aware that the upcoming turn of attacking maneuvers would likely go a long way towards determining the victor of the battle.
"Solid stuff Mjölnir, rinse and repeat, Smackdown those weight watchers wannabee's into the dirt"
Mjölnir again locked his gaze upon a single target, the usually happy and cheerful pokemon had an uncanny knack before being able to focus in on the task at hand. The target that the pachycephalosaur shaped pokemon had chosen was the larger of the two remaining Makuhita, his plan was to leave the smallest one as the remaining combatant, a proper turning of the tables moment. Much like he had done previously, Mjölnir opened his mouth as the inside of his mouth again glowed orange as he prepared to fire an orange orb of energy from his mouth towards the opposing fighting type pokemon.
