Poke-people: Chapter 2: Your first Exam

[Chevaleresse]

Sarcus slowly turned his head to Jake. "Do you honestly think that I believe every day is 'a peaceful one by the river?'," he began with a hiss. Moderating his tone to a less hostile one, he continued. "I know what a test looks like; it's not as if I haven't been tested in the past. There is nothing that I am going to 'accept' about Maximus. He's a bully who thinks that being more physically powerful than someone somehow justifies pushing them around. I'll fight alongside him if I must, but don't expect me to befriend him. I won't hold it against you if you like him, but I'm not going to kiss and make up because some teacher I barely know and hardly respect and a kid from school think I should." He turned partially back to Sonny, addressing both him and Jake. "No offense, but I believe in earning respect, and you haven't given me an overwhelming number of reasons to like or respect you yet, though there is a comparable lack of reasons to disrespect you. I appreciate that you're trying to help, but. . ." He trailed off, unsure of what he was planning on saying. It doesn't matter. Returning his focus to Jake, he said, "I'd prefer to be alone this afternoon. I'll see you tomorrow." Sarcus once again began to head for the door, but waited for a response from Sonny.

[Jory]

Sonny shook his head, then walked over to the machine in the corner and put away Harvey's ball, taking out Rayleigh's Friend Ball. "Sarcus, I admit that I didn't think as much about your position as I could have. And Jake, don't worry, you'll be battling people soon enough," Sonny began, turning toward the students. "Sarcus, Max, do you understand why I brought you two together? I see so much potential in both of you, but in order for you to reach that potential, you have to stop seeing each other as enemies and begin to see each other as allies." Sonny turned and walked out the door. On his way out, he turned over his shoulder, an unmistakable look of grief on his face. "And make no mistake, boys. We're at war." The Scout walked a few more steps out the door before a flash of green light appeared, replacing Sonny's form with Rayleigh's. He paused for a moment, then darted off toward the forest.

As Sonny reached the copse of trees surrounding the small pond, he transformed back into his human form. It was a small haven in the forest, one that Sonny had been coming to for as long as he could remember. There were tall pine and oak trees interspersed throughout the area, with large boulders littering the forest and giving way to smaller ones nearer to the water. Tears filled Sonny's eyes, and he let out an anguished cry that silenced the wildlife around him. Sonny spun and threw a hard right hook at the boulder behind him. His fist connected squarely and buried itself six inches into the hard stone, sending out a loud cracking noise and creating a spiderweb of fractures around the point of impact. He withdrew his hand, shaking it to dull the slight pain he'd experienced. Steam began to come off his skin as he stood trembling in front of the boulder. He grimaced, bracing himself against the boulder. Contain yourself, Sonny. He drew back his right arm and punched the boulder again with similar effects to the first time. The steaming intensified and Sonny screamed, bringing both hands down onto the boulder and crushing it. He breathed heavily, sweat dripping down his face. Not here. Not now.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light and Sonny felt a small, furry sensation on the back of his leg. He looked down to see Nemea nuzzling his leg and looking up at him with a concerned expression. Sonny chuckled and sat next to her, stroking the fur on the Litleo's back. "Thanks, Nemea. I think I just needed to blow off a little steam." Nemea covered her eyes with her paws, ashamed at the poor quality of the pun her Trainer had decided to share. "Thanks," Sonny said sarcastically. He stood up and released all his Pokemon from their balls, then took off his jacket then stripped down to his underwear and proceeded to dive into the pond. He stayed submerged in the cool water for a moment, then surfaced and swam to a shallower area near a boulder. Rayleigh walked over near Sonny and lay on the ground, sighing and closing his eyes for a nap. The younger Pokemon played in the forest as Sonny reflected in the pond. If that happens in the Academy, it could get dangerous. I need to talk to Emerald about this, he realized sadly.

Sarcus felt a pang of . . . was it guilt? Sadness? at Sonny's evident disappointment. No one seems to understand why I act the way I do. A small spark of anger made it's way into the loneliness he was beginning to feel. Why? What is it that I've done that's so wrong? I've spoken my mind. I explained how I feel, and why I feel that way, and give perfectly valid reasons for it, and yet somehow I'm still wrong. His internal monologue fell silent for a moment as he brooded. He started out of the gym, his unbuttoned shirt fluttering behind him. Sonny doesn't seem to be the type to force his view on others. Is he really that disappointed because I refuse to work with Maximus more than I have to? As if something that goes back almost as far as I can remember could just vanish in one training session. Was it because I said I didn't respect him? Admittedly, it's hard to say that without offending someone. He shook his head. I just don't know.

Eventually, Sarcus and his thoughts made their way down to the riverside, where he sat for a moment. This section was fairly close to the school, so it wasn't the best if one wanted solitude, but most students seemed to have headed home early to study. The area was blessedly quiet as a result. He laid down in the grass a few feet from the river with a thump, sighing. I'm sorry, he sent to his teammates. I just get us into trouble, don't I? In response, Absolution ambled up to him and laid beside him, his soft, well groomed fur brushing against his side. He reached out to pat the Dark-type, but flailed a bit when a loud roar in the distance startled him. After both of them got over their consternation, Absolution gave Sarcus a reproachful look. "What? You smacked me too," he said. Absolution replied by rolling his eyes and starting off toward the source of the noise. Their interest piqued, everyone on the team followed his lead.

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

Pulling his hand back and shaking his head

Jake was about to blow his top

As Sonny and Sarcus talked, it looked as though Jake was thinking thoughts of pure evil...

(Which means this is inside my head)

"I try to make a point and you seem to think I'm some sort of peace and love hippy.

I'm not talking about every day being a peaceful day by the river.

I'm not talking about having a good ol' jolly day making up with Max.

And I'm not talking about some god forsaken bullying.

I'm not talking about your respect.

And I don't care about what useless pathetic excuse for a reason to not respect anyone's word but your own.

I didn't ask if you didn't care what we had to say because you believe in respect!

I'm telling you that if you'd just shut the h*ll up instead of turning your back on us believing we're trying to control you and you'd just listen you would understand I'm not talking about seeing what a test looks like, or your rival having abs.

I'm talking about how you can't just have a nice afternoon once school ends because of what happened, with some "trigger happy teacher"

I'm talking about the fact that what he did was an attempt to make you understand that you have to get off your a*s and fight with what you've got instead of hiding in the past's excuses.

Now you need to stand up to your differences like a man and stare Max in the eyes and understand that you just might have to work with him, even if he's a some stupid b*tch or not. Get used to it, I have to deal with Emerald calling me out every day over things like trying to work, I have to listen to her sh*t every time I try to deal with something even if I can do it or not, and she throws me in detention because I got fed up with it, and I made my mistake. Instead of just accepting our differences and working with it, I called her out and look where it got me!!!

You can be alone and sort out your personal problems yourself, but you need to face the facts that nobody gets what they want, we're here to learn to fight back an age old enemy of our kind disguised as a school and I have to work with it, so maybe you might just have to learn to work with all your issues too! Now you go have your "Sweet Sarcus Time" by yourself while I go home and feed my cats and fix the house while my parents are out on their little business vacation and left me with all the work, find this Mime.Jr's trainer, and hopefully make dinner for myself after all that..."

He left the room shaking his head in dismay...

On his way out Jake saw a person that appeared to have heard their whole conversation, the Mime.Jr started to try to hop towards him and Jake gave the desperate pokemon to the person who appeared relieved.

------------------------------------------------------------------

On the way home Jake rode a shorter ,but far more dangerous route through the forest.

As he rode along he saw strange bushes shaking softly and heard bickers and laugher inside the brush that he ignored and didn't dare investigate.

As he rode along a small dark figure tackled him at full force throwing Jake off his bike, when he looked to find the random attacker much larger than it was

Before, it looked like a giant ariados....... The pokemon Jake feared most....

Jake creeped back as the beast hissed happily and then suddenly in a spinning purple light it became nothing more than a small fox like creature.

"Zorua" it exclaimed laughing at Jake's terrified face.

"A Zorua! I've heard many tales of you..."

Either the Zorua had taken a liking too him, or it just liked to stalk people because all the way home the Zorua chased Jake as stealthily as possible. Eventually he stopped and once again the Zorua tackled him, however instead of terrorizing him, the Zorua began to show signs of affection, it had taken to Jake rather quickly...

"Fine, you can come home with me you rascal... Just don't go... Breaking anything... Or turning into huge spiders..."

He patted it on the head and the Zorua and Jake's other pokemon chased him home.

Grace's alarm jerked her out of her slumbers. Being the over-achiever she always was, she had stayed up to midnight studying, and had promptly fallen asleep at her desk after the day had passed. She groggily took a shower and packed her schoolbag with berries and potions. After eating breakfast, she sprinted out the door towards the Pokecademy, nearly tripping several times. God, how could I fall asleep last night? I need to catch up on my studying! Panicking, her momentum slammed her into Alina's classroom's locked door slightly crumpling a sign on the door.

"All students are to meet in the practice arena by the bell" the sign read.

Grace trudged into the practice arena, exhausted. The screen hanging on the wall usually was plain white, but today, it was lit up with bright colors as it listed the student battle matchups. After scanning the board, she quickly found her name and her friends' names listed, all against people she didnt know.

Jake VS. Aqua

Lionel VS. Sarcus

Maximus VS. Tamira

MarkVS. Grace

Ethic VS Harry

The bell chimed a minute later.

"Jake and Aqua, you two will be facing each other first. Battle ends when I say it ends. You may start once I say go.

//OOC: From now, Grace will type in CYAN, Tamira will be in PURPLE, Harry wll be in RED, Alina will be in PINK, and Emerald will be in GREEN

As Jake reached the Academy with his new Zorua hanging around him intently, he opened the doors rather slowly...

His morning had consisted of nearly breaking his alarm clock as he awoke in fear from a terrifying ariados nightmare... Eating cereal... Finding Zorua hiding disguised as a spinarak on the back of his cereal box as a prank, which Zorua got an amazing reaction from... Jake told Zorua to stay home for today since the Academy had issues with students having to many pokemon with them...

However Zorua didn't listen... He snuck into Jake's backpack and left an illusion of himself staring intently at Jake from the front door

Eating, getting on his bike, making sure his Deino didn't eat any more public property, checking that Zorua was... Himself... And riding down to the academy tiredly...

He stumbled down the hall towards the Practice Arena to find out his match, as he entered the screen was lot brightly displaying familiar, and not so familiar names...

"Jake vs Aqua"

"Aqua?..."

Jake had never heard of this person before... It came as a huge surprise to battle a student he had no idea of...

However Jake wasn't so "half asleep anymore when an ariados tackled him from behind, which was once again just one of Zorua's pranks...

Suddenly a familiar voice wrung into his ears from very close behind...

(???)"Well if it isn't him... Howdy, Jake..."

Jake turned quickly to the familiar voice without a second more of hesitation.

(Jake)"Zero!"

Jake's surprise shone through his face like a beacon.

(Zero)"How's it been Jake? You miss me?"

As Aqua slowly got out of bed to get ready for his next day at the academy he quickly thought to himself the plan that would keep him unnoticed from everyone else. He sluggishly walked to grab an apple for himself and some berries for his Pokemon then grabbed his bag and started to head out the door. After the first few steps of walking, Aqua started to jog at a light pace so he could arrive just right before the bell would ring. Right as the bell rang Aqua arrived at the class door only to find that a note was left to redirect students to the practice arena. "Oh,crap...", Aqua said in a worried expression as he quickly turn the other way and bolted towards the arena area. "Sorry I'm late! I-I just...hehe", he said as he rushed into the arena with a awkward smile on his face. "So, uh, did I miss anything?" "This did not go to plan at all... not at all.."

Sarcus walked into the academy with only Absolution at his side, dressed in his favorite outfit, face a mask of seriousness. Underneath, he was actually quite excited, and eager to make a strong impression, which resulted in him feeling more than a little flamboyant. The severe, nearly entirely black ensemble consisted of many layers, which made quite a bit of noise as they flapped due to his measured, long stride. The outer layer consisted of a long, wide cape, something that he felt a bit self-conscious about wearing. It was fairly customary of Dragon Tamers to dress like such, though. The next layer consisted of a greatcoat that he wore slung over his shoulders, sleeves hanging empty. Below that was a simple, but high-quality dress shirt, also worn unbuttoned, with a plain white tee on the bottom to finish off the entire works. Dark slacks complimented what lay above them. The only piece out of place was his shoes, which were the typical athletic ones he wore. Fortunately for him, it was a fairly cool day; otherwise, the heat the outfit generated probably would have choked him.

He marched up to the lit battle screens to find out who he was battling. He stood, doing his best to exude an aura of strength and pride, and was for the most part successful. The performance was spoiled a bit when the expression on his face revealed his self-consciousness as he looked about, attempting to ascertain the reactions of the others in the school. "Lionel?" he said aloud. "Not a name I recognize."

[Chevaleresse]

Max rolled out of bed when his alarm clock woke him up. Literally, actually, and he took a short tumble, resulting in a sore noggin. "Oof. . ." He made sure that he would have plenty of time to wake up and get ready. He chose a simple outfit; a worn set of jeans, a band tee, and a zip-up hoodie branded with a different band's logo. He released his Pokemon for their leisurely morning jog about the village, then headed toward the school at a similar pace. Once he got to the building, he returned all of them to their balls, since the hall was getting a bit crowded when he arrived. He looked up at the screen. "My opponent is Tamira. Can't say I recognize the name." He looked around, trying to spot the owner of that particular moniker. Instead, he found Sarcus, one hand on that Absol of his. Max rolled his eyes at his ludicrous costume. "He's always doing his best to lord over other people, isn't he?" Max said softly to no one in particular.

Alina glanced at the latecomer. "Yes, you were about to be disqualified since you didnt show up in time for your match. Your opponent is Jake, and the battle starts and ends when I say so." She gave the student time to hruuy over to the battlefield, and said, "You may begin." Taking a step back, she began to watch the two with sharp eyes.

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

Jake looked at Alina and then back at his

Opponent... He was unsure of himself and he worried about his opponents skill level too.

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

Jake looked at his Opponent, going by the name of Aqua he assumed water types would be coming his way...

He looked rather unsure of himself at the moment, he just looked a bit... Out of it...

Jake awaited Aqua to choose a pokemon, while Jake chose Mirage.

The huge Ariados stepped forward onto the battlefield awaiting an opponent

[Ojama Yellow]

"S-Sarcus? Isn't that one of the people that was in the Gymnasium yesterday?" Lionel wondered. "He was. I saw him battling, using a powerful Absol." "A-Absol? I know you have a type advantage against Dark types, but still...an Absol is powerful. And don't forget that he has possibly three other Pokémon as well. Hmm... What to do..." Sarcus wondered. He wasn't much of a battler. And Ms. Mime seemed eager to battle, but so were Tristan and Rebel. "Hm...I should just go spectate the match that is going on right now..."

When he saw the trainer that sent out the Ariados, Lionel immediately recognised him as the person that Ms. Mime met. "That Ariados...there is something...weird with it. Hm...I wonder what kind of strategy he has planned?"

[Aqua Severwill]

"Yes, yes I'm am so sorry teacher!", Aqua exclaimed, "I promise that I will get here a much earlier next time". "Gosh, why do I have to keep putting on this act, I came here so I could at least try and be myself, at least now I have a chance". Aqua progressed toward the battle filed to get ready for his battle. He looked over at Jake with a gleam of boredom. He then closed his left eye and covered it with his hand. "So, you're Jake, I know a bit about you although you most likely know nothing about me, I tend to not be noticed much as I spectate the lives around me." As he watched his opponent throw out the huge spider Pokemon he quickly thought of a few options to counter it. "So it seems that I already know the outcome of this battle, keep in mind that I will not say who will win for that is a surprise for you to find out soon enough." Aqua look over his shoulder calling out his Pokemon, Mienfoo. "Go ahead and crush that Spider, Hiyori! Now hurry and use Rock Slide!" The little Martial Arts Pokémon acctacked with a bone crushing amount of rocks tossed into the air heading for the Ariados.

Edited March 19, 2014 by AquaWind

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

Jake hid a suppressed a laugh and hid a satisfied smile, not only was this trainer a cocky one, but he was playing Jake's charade.

So Jake had to play along too.

"Ariados! Come on! Dodge it with quick attack! Then give it a hit!"

The huge spider pokemon moved ridiculously fast for it's size, and it dodged the rocks like it had been a veteran of battle for years... All part of the illusion...

Once the pokemon had dodged the rocks, it had jumped towards the Mienfoo at full force to make contact with it's backside, Ariados had landed the hit, but it didn't seem like it was enough... Ariados scuttled off of the Mienfoo's head and jumped back towards Jake's side of the field. By the end of the attack the Mienfoo looked unaffected, and now rocks littered the field, it was a difficult obstacle, but it might prove useful...

[Aqua Severwill]

Aqua stood there with a plane look on his face, he then looked over to Hiyori and nodded to her. "Hiyori, Force Palm now, aim for the spine and paralyze it." Hiyori stood still and waited for the huge spider to get close enough and once the moment was right it focused most of her power into her palm and released it into the back of the Airados. However it was too late, the spider had already slammed into Hiyori, but it didn't bother either of them much. Hiyori still stood strong and ready to make a move. "Hiyori, while you wait for the next attack use Bulk Up to increase your power." The Mienfoo started to flex in various ways to power up both its attack and defense to get ready for the next attack.

[Jory]

Sonny sat in the stands near the students, watching Jake's battle with interest. Doesn't he normally use Dark-types? Sonny wondered to himself as Jake sent out an Ariados. However, when the hit from the seemingly powerful Ariados connected with barely any effect on the trainer Aqua's Mienfoo, Sonny grinned. I think I know what's going on here, he thought to himself, being sure to block his thoughts in case Aqua was trying to eavesdrop on the audience to gain the upper hand. Then, Sonny looked toward the middle of the field, his eyes lingering on Alina. The sight of her caused him to smile lightly. Mother of Arceus, does she just roll out of bed looking that beautiful every morning? he thought to himself, allowing a small chuckle to escape. He then turned his attention back to the battle, which he noticed Max and Sarcus were also watching. They got other students in the drawing. Good.

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

"Ariados! Double team!"

Row after row of Ariados began to appear in a circle around the Mienfoo who was flexing brilliantly.

"Now Ariados! Pin missile!"

All of the Ariados began to screech loudly and heightened their stance, their horns began to detach and fly at Mienfoo as row after row fired off blasts off the attacks.

Trapped, Mienfoo sat their still focusing, probably heightening its defenses to blow off the already non affective move. The type choice was horrible and not only that but it was a weak move in general...

Jake smirked in happiness at his success

(Jake's thoughts)

Now the real fun begins... Do to the move I'm actually using, he won't see anything coming... His mienfoo won't be able to detect the actual attack, since I'm not physically hurting it... A physical damaging move would do nothing to that hunk... And even if I does find the real location of the attack, the double team clones will shift... This plan is working out just fine...

The first missile hit Mienfoo from behind, The pokemon expected a physical hit, and didn't care about the approaching attack because of its bulk up.

However... When the missile hit the focusing Mienfoo... A wave of sorrow assaulted its mind, images of burning and screaming, people filled it's mind. As more pin missiles came, the horrors became worse and worse... People being torn to shreds, guts being ripped out by horrifying monsters, and the embodiment of what appeared to be Satan.

As these assaulted the pokemon's mind, it held it's focus, the waves of attacks held a small effect, but it was far from enough than to knock it out.

[Aqua Severwill]

Aqua's eyes filled with pain as Mienfoo was being hit by Airados' attack and he looked in shock when he felt the pain that Mienfoo was experiencing in her mind. "Hiyori! I don't know what you see but you have to remember that we have been through worse than that! Control yourself and remember why we're here!"

Hiyori quickly snapped out of the images that she was seeing and re-gained focus on the battle at hand. "Now Hiyori, only one of them can really harm you, the others are just illusions. Quickly use Rock Slide again to wipe out the clones in front of you and to brake the cage as well." ( Honestly have no idea how Rock Slide and all that would work so let's just go with the rocks are made from thin air and after one use they can be summoned back or something like that), Hiyori summoned back the rocks and launched them with another powerful Rock Slide attack to brake through the pin cage as well as wipe out most of the clones that were made from the Double Team

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

(Jake's thoughts)

Hehehe... He has no clue of where the attacks are coming from... So at least I can continue my assault... And play a few more tricks.

Jake looked to the crowd to find Sonny watching the two battle intently, and after all that Sonny had heard, Jake wanted to show Sonny that Jake wasn't only good at bickering...

"Ariados! Foul play!"

An Ariados fell down onto Mienfoo's head from directly above it, the pokemon had been attached to the ceiling the whole time!

The Ariados used Mienfoo's own weight and strength against it viciously, slamming it to the floor as hard as it could and then scuttled off in front of Mienfoo's line of sight, as Ariados's shadow followed behind it, it looked like the scuttling legs had been a pile of snakes. It looked rather odd as the attacking Ariados's shadow seemed to fuse with it's other clones. As though a black snake pit lie underneath them, due to the cloak of shadow made by the clones blocking any show of movement from other shadows, a small shadow crept away from it's owner, hidden by the other shadows as if it were completely invisible to begin with.

The shadow had concealed itself elsewhere before anyone could even notice, the foliage of other shadows hiding it completely.

Before the Mienfoo could arise Jake nodded, and the spiders spat webs everywhere, sticking to everything it touched. Jake had attempted to trap the Mienfoo to a very small space, now even more tightly surrounded by constantly multiplying clones.

[Aqua Severwill]

Mienfoo looked a little tired after all those attacks but was still able to make it out okay because they were all non effective.

"Alright now, Hiyori use Rock Slide once more and wipe out every last clone, and then use Force Palm on the rocks to shatter them and send the pieces flying at the remaining Airados with all your power!" The Mienfoo called back the rocks as well as creating news ones and let them slide down atop the clones wiping every last one out. As Mienfoo quickly locked onto the remaining Airados it used it's Force Palm to smash it and send the sharp shards flying into the evil Spider.

((Reminder that using a move to dodge is not to be abused, I haven't even got a hit in yet because of that))

Edited March 20, 2014 by AquaWind

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

((That's the point, I'm trying to use all the strategies I could think of before this battle even started in the RP, however... You literally just countered my third and final idea ;_; ))

All of the clones disintegrated instantly... The ones on all sides, gone, the ones on the ceiling, gone, the ones in the corners of the trainer's eyes, gone...

Not a single pokemon stood on the field that belonged to Jake... Not a single one besides the pokemon Jake had behind him as his team...

The young trainer laughed a terrifying laugh... All of Jake's pokemon began to laugh at Aqua as well... Some of the audience members began to talk amongst themselves in confusion.

"I'd planned those 3 little tricks all night long before this little endeavor.... And you countered every last one... I don't know how you defeated my fool proof plan, but you did."

Mark looked in confusion and then smirked as he realized Jake's whole idea of his plan.

(Jake) ".... You're... Pretty good."

Mark looked at Jake happily

(Mark) "... I taught him that line..."

Suddenly the webs around the field began to look as if they were... Glitching... It was all very odd as they faded in and out of view while flashing about while moving around as they disappeared and appeared as well.

Jake threw off his sharpedo tooth necklace into his backpack behind him.

The like shadow lie beside Jake, but it was in no way a human shadow.

The shadow began to glitch oddly as well, disappearing and flashing about from view until everything that was oddly displaced disappeared suddenly.

A proud smirking Zorua stood beside Jake, it flicked its tuff of hair and proudly exclaimed its name before walking onto the field to face Mienfoo in an actual fight.

"Deception was how I planned to defeat you Aqua but you're a clever one. You almost got the whole big picture."

That Ariados that gave your Mienfoo and quick attack to the back, it wasn't very strong because it was Zorua, not an actual super powerful Ariados, it moved so quickly because it was Zorua, and it appeared to be dodging so well because it was an illusion, you were trying to hit something that didn't exist! Zorua is far smaller than any Ariados!

And those "pin missiles" were actually psychokenetic transmission pulses.

Otherwise known as the attack dark pulse, the evil images your Mienfoo was seeing were all the attack's damaging affects.

In other words, you've been fighting the wrong enemy. Now I'm out of plans and I can only do one thing... Fight Fair!"

"Zorua! Fury swipes!"

The small fox's agility was ridiculous, it sped up to Mienfoo and began slashing it's chest viciously, it had been provoked with rage by it's plans being discovered.

"Zorua! I know you're angry but you have to be careful!"

The Zorua didn't care, it kept slashing the Mienfoo in anger nonstop.

Edited March 20, 2014 by Absol-lutelty awesome!

[Aqua Severwill]

"Well, I will tell you that I could care less about the plans you can come up with, although I honestly thought that it was really and Airados, but the fact that it is a Zorua makes this a whole lot easier for me in the end."

"Hiyori, please deal with that thing and give it some anger management lessons as well with a nice and powerful Force Palm to end it"

As the Mienfoo was being scratched contently by the Zorua it was brought down to a visible injury. She then quickly reacted to the command given by Aqua and quickly focused a lot of it's force out of it's hand after making contact with the Zorua's head and knocking it out.

Edited March 20, 2014 by AquaWind

[Absol-lutelty awesome!]

"You did good Zorua, you've got this thing right where I want it..."

Jake placed his Zorua down behind his team in hidden despair as he'd never seen one of his own get knocked out before...

"Soul! Show this sucker a good time!"

The Riolu quietly stepped out into the field and assumed a well practiced fighting pose Jake had taught it and slanted its eyes in anticipation, it had one hand ready at a lower level and one at a higher, it's right leg was placed in front of it to be ready for a quick strike and it's left towards the back for leverage and for a quick kick if it came down to it.

The Riolu charged its energy into his hands and legs to prepare for a very fast and powerful strike.

[Aqua Severwill]

"This seems like it should be interesting, two fighting types both trained in a forum of martial arts. Hiyori I believe you are strong enough to keep going on for this fight. Show him what you're made of but this time hold on stand by and wait for it to get close."

Mienfoo resumed its pose from the beginning of the first round as it waited for an attack to come by.

"You know what Jake, I think my opinion from the first time I said I knew who would win this fight has changed, because you still know nothing about me and not even half of what I am capable of. After this battle I just might change and stop making plans based off of what has already happened and start to enjoy the surprises that come by each day, then again I love it when things don't turn out to be what I though they were."
