Something To Look For! [SHADOW ONLY]

The Cyndaquil didn't know what to think when it felt Mega's claws hit it's side. At least it wasn't entirely direct. It almost seemed like the Cyndaquil had let out a little sqeak as a result, which tipped of Anabelle to his location. "Cyndaquil! Use tackl now while he's still near you!" "Quil!" the fire type would almost instantly shake off the last attack it had taken and run at Mega full force, hoping to return the favor.

Anabelle jumped with joy as she saw her little Cyndaquil land a hit. She was so happy she wasn't exactly paying attention to the fight. When she next looked back she saw Cyndaquil in Mega's huge maw. "Well....that's not good." Anabelle tilted her head in worry and thought about what she could do considering her time from probably was about... two seconds before her Cyndaquil got crushed or eaten. "Cyndaquil! Hurry, use ember on his jaw so you can get free!" The cyndaquil, wishing to listen to his trainer the best he could, would lower his head and attempt to hit Mega's jaw. Though would it be too far out of his reach or would he still be able to manage it? Anabelle crossed her fingers.

OOC: sorry this is a bit late. Things have been kinda hectic.

"Oh! Oh no! Did he get hurt too badly? I'm sorry, I just didn't want my Cyndaquil to be eaten!" Anabelle, always one to worry about the safety of a pokemon over anything else, would remain focused on the fact that her cyndaquil had really seemed to hurt Mega. Her cyndaquil had been dropped to the ground and didn't seem to be in any better condition. It was apparent the bite had really hurt him. "You're hurt too. This isn't good." Anabelle seemed to have wasted any time she might have been given to counter with another attack. The cyndaquil stood, wincing in pain every once in a while, but turned to Mega, waiting for an order that Anabelle was too concerned with their health to give.

OOC: If you're busy and it's getting in the way then I'd be happier if you take a break for a while and continue whenever you can. :) Anyways, thanks.

Mega licked the burned part but that does not mean he is in the Burned condition. He licked it trying to put some water to ease the too much warm. Ace looked at the foe Trainer. "Yeah Mega, can you still fight? You can always take a break and let Scyther do it and if he loses, well we just have to accept it." said Ace concerned for his Pokemon. "Hey... Anabelle was it? I'd like to ask you to ask your Cyndaquil if he can still fight but it looks like he still can but your decision anyway." he said turning his eyes back to his Druddigon. "I can fight. It's just a scratch. In fact, am just starting to enjoy this match and I gotta get used to pains like this. More are yet to come in the future." said Mega who seems to boast but is actually just cheering himself up. He takes a stance and waits for his command. "Not attacking yet, Anabelle. You sure your Cyndaquil won't get too much? Don't get me wrong, am not boasting." said Ace getting concerned as well. He thinks he is sort of exaggerating but that's just him.

Blade stood beside Ace and looked at his ally with a smile. "Tough nut to crack 'eh?" he said. Mega just smiled at the cheer of his ally.

OOC: Well thanks :) that's really nice of you! I'll try to post whenever I get the chance!

Anabelle looked back at her cyndaquil and kneeled so she could see him better. "Cyndaquil, do you wanna stop? It's ok if you do. I won't think any less of you." In response to his trainer's question, Cyndaquil hightened the intensity of his flames on his back. "Quil!!!" It seemed he did want to finish. Guess that was like him, he would finish this fight even if he lost. "Alright, if you're in this, I am. Let's just do our best!" Anabelle nodded back at Ace and smiled. "Alright, it looks like he wants to keep going. Don't hold back." Anabell stood and pointed at Mega. "Cyndaquil, let's hit him with a leer!" Cyndaquil stood up just ever so slightly on his hind quarters and opened his eyes, staring Mega down to both try to intimidate him, which was hard to accomplish for such a small thing, and to really show he wanted to continue.

Cyndaquil uses Leer!

OOC: Nah, it's nothing. :P

===

Mega respected the determination of his foes. He smiled as he let the Leer lower his defense status. "I admire your determination. You've earned my respect and sorry for being boastful earlier." said Mega. Ace smiled at the foe Trainer as a good luck. "Okay, Mega. You took that bullet now you're at a big disadvantage. Hone Claws!" he said. Mega's claws shone as he swipe in the air. Mega's attack increased! "It's all up to our offense now. Anabelle, come and get us!" he said going for a friendly taunt.

Anabell smiled at that. "Thank you, Mega, that's nice of you to say." So it really was going to be an all out fight. Alrighty then. "Here we go! Cyndaquil let's go right for it with a tackle!" Cyndaquil kicked at the ground with it's hind leg, giving him some running leverage before bolting right at Mega, determination written all over his expression.

"She falls easily for traps..." Ace thought. She wasn't expecting the Trainer to actually take that chance and attack. Mega swiftly jumped high allowing Cyndaquil to somewhat pass through. As Mega landed behind the Cyndaquil... "SCRATCH! LET'S FINISH THIS!" he shouted as Mega smiled. His jaws opening up wide as he let out a growl, his claws heading straight towards the Cyndaquil for a scratch! If it hits, Cyndaquil will get damaged a lot because of the attack stat boost.

OOC: Take note the "growl" is not to be confused with the Pokemon Move. It's just a growl of nothingness.

OOC: A growl of nothingness must sound pretty hollow. *ba dum tsch* haha ok horrible pun, moving on.

Hmm, hmm he's not the only one who falls for traps. "Cyndaquil, do a backflip while using smokescreen!" Anabelle was really thinking on her toes there. At least she had been working with the Cyndaquil in order to boost it's flexibility in a battle. Cyndaquil would ultimately backflip, missing Mega's claws in the process. During that time, he would blow out another bellow of smoke which seeing as cyndaquil was close range to Mega this time would cover the area. Although, it could be that Mega was already honed in on him due to the fact that it was close rance and the effort would have been in vain.

OOC: XD

===

Druddigon managed to grab the Cyndaquil and lift it, locking him with its chest as his big arms surrounded the little foe. Smoke started to cover the two as Druddigon used Bite on his own. This was easy for him. He just have to turn his head down and bite and hopefully, it might hit Cyndaquil even if it's in the not much visible area. It's still close range so he manages to see his arms holding some sort of a blurry silhouette which was Cyndaquil only that it is surrounded by smokes. As Druddigon tries to Bite, Cyndaquil might not expect that or if he does, Druddigon is in serious danger because of the back flames.

Anabelle didn't realize she had made a mistake in having Cyndaquil do that series of attacks. She saw that Mega had Cyndaquil in his grasps, but that was about all she could see of them. Cyndaquil struggled against Mega's arms but he was locked tightly. He stopped struggling the moment he felt the teeth against his neck. The flames on his back died down as Cyndaquil stopped struggling. It seemed he was finished. Anabelle would call back her pokemon as the smoke cleared out again. "That was a close fight. You guys seem to be really good. Thank you for the battle." Anabelle smiled and waved at the trio before she started to head for a pokemon center.

Cyndaquil has fainted. Ace is victorious!
Mega gains 12 exp. Mega progesses to lvl 13! Mega learned Scary Face!

OOC: Denenenen denendendenen deneneneneneeen!!! (Final Fantasy Victory Sound) :D

===

"Yeah you put up a good fight but anyway, take care!" Ace shouted, unable to even make friends with the Trainer. Her Pokemon has to be healed right away anyway. Druddigon stands there and takes deep breathes as he start feeling the pain even more. He turns at his Trainer and smiles as well as to his ally before collapsing. He was tired and he was enduring the pain for such time. "Awh... Don't worry Mega and Blade, you gonna get good healing." said Ace taking two Pokeballs out and returning the two. He rushes to the Pokemon Center again and heals his Pokemon.

After the team is healed, once again they go back to the grass patches only to realize that they are good enough to take on Brock, the Pewter City Gym Leader. Ace along with the two Pokemon in their Pokeball, rare for Mega to stay in his Pokeball, head towards Pewter City to take their first step into the ladder of championship.
