Starscream nearly threw himself at the bird for its insolent manner, but refrained from doing so and stalked to his trainer's side, glaring daggers at the small Aron at her feet. Tanya, meanwhile, was part amused, part irate with the Farfetch'd's behaviour, skewering it with a disapproving look. "Tsk tsk, mockingbird, didn't your mama teach you not to raise a stick to things bigger than yourself?" she said in a silky, dangerous tone that was entirely at odds with the playful, fiery mischief dancing in her green eyes.

"Since you won't play nice, Ironhide is going to make you learn how to do so the hard way. C'mon, poco chico, up an' at 'em," Tanya said with a light growl in her voice. Ironhide dipped his head, glaring back at Starscream before hustling forwards to stand in front of his trainer, blue eyes locking like lasers onto his new foe. It didn't remotely frighten him.

She cast her mind back to his movepool; Mud-Slap was out, clearly, and Harden seemed like a turn wasted with Ironhide being a type that easily resisted any moves Farfetch'd could toss at him. The last two choices were Metal Claw and Heabutt. Headbutt's flinch factor was appealing, but there was no way in the nine circles of hell that her Aron was a speed demon and would get an attack in before Farfetch'd. "Go, amigo, and give it a dose of iron with Metal Claw!" the girl decided, casting her hand forwards. Ironhide made no noise as he lumbered forwards, ready to tear into this cheeky avian.

Eying the large metallic bird which glared viciously by Tanya's side, the leek wielding Farfetch'd wasn't too happy with this meeting. He had finally escaped the side of the annoying Sylvester, who couldn't order the correct moves for the life of him, then the hurricane started and scared the living daylights out of him and now he had to somehow escape this red haired girl, battling being the only probable option. Puffing out his chest feathers, the beige bird had convinced himself that he was facing Starscream but as the tiny metal head of Ironhide came into view, the Farfetch'd couldn't help but chuckle at his miniature size. Perhaps he had a chance to escape freely even deeper into this luminous forest afterall.

At the sight of the tiny Aron lunging himself through the foliage which grew along the earthy ground, Farfetch'd stood firmly in his place, gripping tightly onto his leek prop with wrapping feathered wings and standing as if it were about to hit a baseball. With amazing timing, that is just what the Farfetch'd wanted to achieve. Spinning on the spot, Farfetch'd managed to hit a perfect home run as Ironhide drew close, the tip of the leek rather oddly having a lot of power behind it and being strong enough to uplift the metallic Aron up into the air. Being tossed back against the ground it had just ran across, the Farfetch'd couldn't help but laugh at it's vain attempt at trying to approach. But perhaps the laughter was only a way to hide it's nerves.

Although being tossed backward quite far, the little angry Pokemon was eventually able to halt itself and quite obviously, the attack had done absolutely nothing to harm the iron creature. More than prepared to run backward and forward however many times the birdbrain needed it too, the silent steps of the Aron were clearly not heard by the cackling Farfetch'd. Instead, it was the shrieking cries of the bird's very chest feathers being plucked from it's body by Ironhide's Metal Claw that echoed amongst the myriad of trees. Feathers spreading across the floor as it staggered from side to side, it's own eyes glaring angrily at the silent Aron.

When the bird chuckled upon seeing Ironhide lumbering in for the fight, Tanya grinned. She hadn't known the Aron very long, but he had a nasty temper, and laughing at his diminutive size was only going to end in pain. Ironhide's attempt to attack was first blocked by a strong uppercut from the bird's leek, which made a loud tink as it impacted with his steely hide before lifting him clean off the ground.

Tanya was about to step in and check on her Pokémon when the resilient little Steel type just went charging back and tore into the feathers of Farfetch'd's chest with gusto. She cringed at the shrieks that burst from the startled avian's beak, though it was more out of the volume than sympathy. Regarding its lackadaisical wandering, Tanya considered it nothing less than delinquent and it deserved whatever it got.

Starscream chuckled at the ensuing battle, fairly amused by Ironhide's tenacity. He took the hit stoically and kept on going, barely hurt at all thanks to his ridiculously strong armour. "That was an.. interesting first round. Keep it up with Metal Claw again!" Tanya ordered with her signature flick. Rearing up a little, Ironhide surged forwards again, eager to knock the wind out of this feathery fiend's sails.

OOC: Makin' sure y'all know he has a Rocky Helmet equipped ~

Ironhide watched Farfetch’d closely now, the devious bird still held a smirk on its face, as if he hadn’t almost clawed its face off the last time. Farfetch’d moved suddenly, causing Ironhide’s alert to go up considerably as he looked around, trying to spot the bird. A call of its name from above made Ironhide look up as a ball of light slammed into him, which turned out to be the bird in question. Since when do annoying creatures like that know something strong like Aerial Ace?!

“Aron…” Ironhide snorted as the cheeky Farfetch’d returned to where it had been sitting prior, and Ironhide stamped a foot on the ground. It was a sitting duck. Charging, the Aron kept one glowing paw ahead of the rest as he moved, and that would prove to be his weapon against the bird, who seemed way to confident in itself. Though he knew the truth, that Farfetch’d had been hurt by the helmet he was wearing.

His claws raked down the bird’s side,coated in metal,and no doubt causing it major discomfort as it staggered back, holding its mid-section with a wing. Tanya and her company were troublesome, and that was all it knew.

Despite the blinding speed of Aerial Ace, Tanya couldn't help but snort as the attack barely affected Ironhide, in fact harming the bird as it rebounded from striking part of the hard helmet the Aron sported on his head. The most reaction out of Ironhide was annoyance, proven when he nearly cleaved the bird in two with a harsh-looking Metal Claw right in the gut.

At least this had taken the cockiness out of the bird. She wasn't going to sit back and let it just walk away; Sylvester had pleaded for her help and Arceus be damned if she broke her word on bringing the birds back. Hopefully he wouldn't be too upset if they were returned in slightly less than stellar condition thanks to being roughed up.

"We've got it on the ropes now Ironhide! Give it another iron-clad punch with Metal Claw!" Tanya ordered. Making a loud noise in response, Ironhide prepared to launch himself forwards for another assault. This bird wasn't going to laugh at him and remain conscious for much longer.

[Kataya]

Though Tanya had gone for the attack first, Farfetch’d was still faster. The bird charged forwards, using its talons to scratch Ironhide across his face, though it didn’t do much to the creature at all. Following that up, Ironhide rushed at the bird, one of his clawed paws glowing with a metallic glint. The Aron reached forwards, letting his claws rip through Farfetch’d’s side. The creature gave a wail of pain and fell over, exhausted from the fight.

Ironhide snorted. That thing wasn’t too tough, and yet it acted like it was king of the freakin’ world. He showed it alright. Looking back to Tanya, Ironhide motioned to the tired bird, as if to ask her what she wanted to do with it. Personally, he didn’t care, but it all came down to Tanya bringing it back to Sylvan, which was what she had come out here for anyway. Either way, he had gotten a good fight in, so he was a happy camper.
