Kaitlyn certainly had a strange charm about her and an uncanny ability to get others to react the way she intended. A smile played on her lips as she leaned a bit closer to Shinya, quickly nodding her head. “Of course, Handsome. What a cute name to go with such a cute boy! Shinya, sirrr…” Her lips dripped with each syllable, elongating them with a wink. “I’d be forever indebted for the help. Like I said… I’m good for it. I’d handle it myself…” She lifted one hand, examining her perfectly manicured nails with a huff. “But I just got these done…”Dante gruffed, a firm eye turning to the ‘would-be- contender. His face boiled with such a strong rosy color it might have appeared as though he was running a fever. Where he stood, it seemed as though his girl was making the moves onto another man. Some lowlife that kept referring to him as a ‘chump’, as though Shinya truly thought that he’d manage to best him in the midst of this battle. Hmph! “You’d better back off, Casanova. That there’s my girl and all your flirting with her’s really crawling under my skin!” He snapped, oblivious to the fact that the ‘flirting’ was obviously one-sided. “Handsy use your Thunder Punch!” Dante instructed. The flames licked at Machoke’s flesh, easily burning the other Pokemon where he stood. The several-armed contender immediately patted out the worst of the flames. Then he punched Centiskorch with all his might, his fists coated in strange, electrical powers. It wasn’t enough, though, as Dante’s opponent stood tall and ready for more. “Quick, Revenge! That bug’s gonna get squished! We’ll show ‘em!” Dante snapped. This time Handsy waited, allowing Centiskorch to light him on fire. He would then snatch his opponent up in the air, spin Centiskorch around several times, and slam him onto the ground with a powerful thud! “I hope I’m not the worst looking you’ve ever seen, sir. I mean, Shhiinyyaaa.” She winked again, nearly sing-songing his name with a cute smile. “I put a lot of effort into my style. If it’s not super obvious. And not just anyone gets to hang off my arm as my luxurious side-piece.” She scoffed. At that remark, she turned to Dante and struck her tongue out at the large brute, only upsetting him further.

The next set of words that came from the beauty's mouth caused Shinya to roll his eyes and let out a small sigh of exasperation, as he moved his bag of belongings to the other side of his body. The side that Kaitlynn wasn't leaning on. "Sure, whatever ya say, babe." Shinya said to her in a sarcastic tone of voice, then dropped said sarcasm as he continued to speak to the young woman hanging all over him. "But here's two more pieces of advice for ya. First, flattery will get ya nowhere with me. And second, if you're gonna try and pickpocket someone, do it right." Shinya demonstrated this to her as well, holding up a keychain that she had in her bag and spinning it around his index finger, taking advantage of her close proximity to pickpocket her instead.
True, the Team Skull grunt had no actual proof that she had planned on pickpocketing him first, but Guzma had always taught him to never let his guard down around new people. Especially pretty girls in unsavory environments, such as the Goldenrod Tunnel. That being said, Shinya had no intention of keeping Kaitlynn's keychain, mostly because it wasn't his style at all, returning it to her before turning his attention back over to Dante. Straight away, Shinya rolled his eyes for a second time, fully prepared with another retort for the older male trainer. "Wow, you really are a chump. Even more so than anyone I've ever had the misfortune to know. And what if I don't back off? What are ya gonna do about it, chump?"
The Bug type trainer continued to egg Dante on, then got his answer when Dante called for his Machoke's first set of moves, watching as the Fighting type attempted to fight back against his newly evolved Centiskorch. And right in the middle of their exchange of blows, Centiskorch was ready with some trash talk of his own, shaking off the hits he took from Handsy. "Ha! Your chump of a boss thinks you can squish me?! Not before I fry you up and serve with a side of chips! BBQ chips! No soda though! Just plenty of hot sauce! Also, congrats! Handsy has gotta be the stupidest nickname I've ever heard in my entire life!" The Radiator Pokemon licked his fiery lips at the mention of fried foods and BBQ chips, then immediately started laughing out loud after making fun of Handsy's nickname.
"Seriously, what the heck, chump? Handsy? What corner of your non-existent brain did ya pull that one out of? It's no wonder the ladies are so disgusted by ya. That nickname isn't just stupid. It's downright creepy." Shinya was quick to pile on, playing off the words his Pokemon spoke and throwing some more insults Dante's way. After that, it was time to keep the battle going, as he quickly shifted gears and called for another Flame Wheel from his partner in crime. "And while this chump is tryin' to figure that one out, hit 'em with another Flame Wheel, Centiskorch! The thought of BBQ is makin' me hungry, so let's hurry and wrap this one up!"
"You ain't gotta tell me twice, boss! I'm so hungry I could eat a whole Tauros, but I guess this loser will do for now!" Centiskorch quickly rolled himself up into another red-hot wheel of fire, then sped towards Handsy to deal another burning blow. And while that was going on, Kaitlynn successfully gained Shinya's attention again, as he glanced at her once more and listened to what she had to say next. "Nope, I've definitely seen worse. Yup, your effort shows. And careful there, babe, your ego is showin'. Not that I have much room to talk, but who gives a crap?" Shinya found himself chuckling a bit, still not caring what other people thought about him even a little. Apart from his Pokemon and his bros' and sis' of Team Skull, of course.

Kaitlynn blinked when she saw her keychain in Shinya's hand and she pouted a bit at his response. Guy was still all unaffected by her charms, but she didn't break character, even when being rebuffed, "I wasn't trying to pick pocket you. What kind of girl would I be if I not only ruined my new manicure trying to rifle in your pockets but did so to the handsome fellow who is rescuing me from a big creep?" She sniffed then...giggled. "You may be rude, but you're very funny~ I like that in a man." "I SAID LAY OFF MY GIRL!" Dante shouted. "I SEE YOU TRYNA BE SLICK OVER THERE! AND HANDSY IS NOT A STUPID NAME! HE'S GOT HANDS MADE FOR PUNCHING!" "THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED HIM PUNCHY, DUMMY!" the girl shouted back at him. Then back to hiding behind her savior and acting like she was a helpless little airhead despite proving otherwise already. "Wait until you hear what he calls his other pokemon." "WHAT ARE YOU WHISPERIN' INTO HIS EAR?! IT BETTER NOT BE—" Dante was ranting incoherently now, hardly registering that Handsy was toast as he sent out his next pokemon in his place. "GRABBERS, IT IS UP TO YOU TO END THIS PUNK." "Theeeere it is." She sighed. "A lost cause, honestly."

"Babe, when you've lived the kinda life that I have, ya know better than to be taken in by a pretty face alone." Shinya replied to Kaitlynn's latest question with another roll of his eyes but was also starting to think that maybe she wasn't THAT kind of girl after all. Starting to. "Ya gotta be rude and have a sense of humor where I come from, babe. Otherwise, you ain't gonna last long. That bein' said, Team Skull always looks out for our own. We never leave a bro or sis out in the cold, and you might just have what it takes to be our newest sis." The green-haired trainer decided to take a chance and tried being a little nicer to the beauty for a change, then waited and watched closely to see how she'd react to this rather sudden change in his mood.
Of course, both Dante and Kaitlynn were still shouting at each other, which Shinya literally right in the middle, which brought his mood back down straight away. "Normally, I hate repeatin' myself, but for you two, I'll make an exception." Shinya stated the moment he was given the chance to do so, but he wasn't done quite yet, taking a deep breath and shouting out as loud as he could. "BOTH OF YA SHUT THE HELL UP AND QUIT YELLIN' IN MY EAR! DO IT AGAIN, AND YOU'LL WISH IT WAS YOU BATTLIN' CENTISKORCH INSTEAD OF HANDSY!" To further emphasize Shinya's point, Centiskorch finished off Handsy with another red-hot Flame Wheel, leaving the Fighting type badly burned, unconscious, and lying flat on its back on the floor of the tunnel.
"Just say the word, boss. Pokemon, humans, or some other third thing. I'll fry 'em all up all the same." The Radiator Pokemon commented with a mischievous and almost evil-sounding chuckle, as burning Handsy to the ground only served to make him even more hungry for destruction, havoc, and arson. Unfortunately for him, his good times were put on hold for the time being, as Shinya called Centiskorch back to his Pokeball the moment he laid eyes on Dante's second Pokemon. "Sorry, Centiskorch, but let's save some fun for the rest of our team too, alright?" The Team Skull grunt exchanged Centiskorch's Pokeball for a different one, then regained his smirk as he turned his attention back over to his opponent.
"Geez! First Handsy and now Grabbers?! Such a big, fat head, but so little in it! It's actually kinda sad! But not sad enough to make me feel bad about doin' this! You're up, Scizor! Get in there and use Psycho Cut!" With one good toss, Shinya's strongest Pokemon appeared on the field of battle, his eyes and pincers already sharp and ready to deal some serious damage. "What my teammate started; I shall now finish. Those who threaten the wellbeing of my boss, as well as beautiful maidens, shall know my power and my wrath." Scizor stated with some very prominent pride and anger in his voice, but was still perfectly composed, taking a fighting stance and filling his right pincer with psychic energy.

"Sis?" the beauty pouted a bit. Oh well. Not everyone had good taste. But she did smile a bit when his attitude softened, if only momentarily, because he too was getting crabby with all the arguing going on. "Can't say I've ever had a handsome fellow tell me he wanted to be my brother." A small chuckle. "But you're just full of surprises, Shin-ya~" She then stuck her tongue out at Dante, who was ready to breathe fire by now. "GRABBERS IS A GOOD NAME! 'ES GOT HANDS FER GRABBIN' STUFF, DON'T HE?! STOP MOCKING THEIR NAMES. THEY'RE GREAT NAMES!" he fumed. "Might as well have named them 'Theft' or 'Arson' or 'Every girl I meet gets a restraining order against me'," Kaitlynn sassed, minding her tone this time. She was confident that Shinya had this in the bag. The great metallic mantis surged forward to end this and— That stupidly named haunter's eyes glowed red and suddenly he collapsed. Asleep.

Of course, bro and sis were just what the members of Team Skull called each other. In truth, not a single one of them were actually related to any of the other members by blood. In fact, there were actually a few romantic relationships among Team Skull's ranks, which Shinya was fully aware of. Still, he had neither the time nor the desire to explain that to Kaitlynn, taking notice of her pouts, but then immediately brushing them off. Honestly, Shinya had never really given much thought to the idea of a relationship of his own, and instead chose to mainly focus on his goals and ambitions for the time being. That's not to say that he wasn't at least open to the idea of having a girlfriend though, if nothing else.
"Get to know me, babe. I'm amazin'." Shinya replied to the beauty's last comment with a rather cocky smirk upon his face, which remained there as he turned his attention back over to the raging thug. "Yeah, sure. They're great names alright...for a one-year-old!" The Alolan trainer mocked Dante right alongside Kaitlynn, starting with a sarcastic tone of voice, going right into another insult, and ending with one more round of chuckles. However, it seemed his cockiness had gotten the better of him this time, as Scizor hit the ground and start snoozing before his trainer had even realized what had happened. Eyeing his slumbering partner, Shinya lost his smirk, gritted his teeth slightly, and started digging through his bag for a certain item straight away.
"Tch! Gimme some credit, ya braindead chump! Do ya seriously think I'm not prepared for stuff like this?!" The green-haired male rhetorically questioned his opponent, withdrawing a very rare dessert item from his bag and tossing it over to the sleeping Pincer Pokemon. "Wakey, wakey, Scizor! We ain't done layin' the smackdown on this chump yet! Don't go makin' Team Skull look bad now!" The item in question was known as Old Gateau, and it landed right in front of Scizor's sleeping face. As soon as the scent of this rare delicacy hit the metallic Bug type's nostrils, he immediately began to stir, slowly sliding the Old Gateau into his mouth before fully awakening and getting back on his feet for all to see.
From there, Scizor finished chewing and swallowing the Old Gateau, then shook his head from side-to-side a few times, slowly but surely regaining his composure. "Forgive me, boss. That was careless of me. This foe was just so weak and had such a ridiculous name that I let my guard down." Both Shinya and Scizor glared at Dante and Grabbers after that, signaling that playtime was now officially over and done with. "It wasn't just you, Scizor! We both underestimated these chumps, but that won't happen again! They're goin' down! Hard! And your Psycho Cut is the move that'll do it! So, let's try it again!" Shinya gave the order, and Scizor nodded his head, proceeding to fill his right pincer with another round of psychic energy, just as he did in the previous round. But hopefully, this round would turn out differently.
OOC: Old Gateau used on Scizor before attacking.

"ONCE I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, YOU WON'T THINK GRABBERS AND HANDSY ARE BAD NAMES! I'M GONNA THROW THESE HANDS...RIGHT INTO YOUR STUPID PUNK FACE!" He hollered, turning an unsightly shade of red, a vein bulging in his neck. Dante sneered as Shinya woke Scizor up and commanded it to use psycho cut again. "Ha. Didn't learn from last time did you?! Grabbers, show them how awesome you are with another hypnosis!" Those eyes glowed red and before scizor could even finish charging up a strike, it hit the ground with a clang. AGAIN. Out cold. Dante laughed. "Alright Grabbers, time fer this punk to have some bad dreams. Use confuse ray so it can't do jack once it wakes up," he mocked. The haunter chortled obnoxiously as well, wriggling those creepy fingers as it added a layer of confusion on top of this whole mess. Kaitlynn huffed a bit, "Oh come oooon. You're dragging this out.
