As Tillie and Hit pushed further into the caverns, it was only a matter of time before a larger and more terrifying for had shown themselves between the duo! A large Nidoqueen had stepped forward to suddenly challenge the two, blocking the cave forward but as it came out, the purple Tyrogue would have seemingly shrunk behind Hit. The man looked at his Poke-friend with a soft grin and moved to place a hand against his head, "It's okay to be nervous, you can take a break this time around." And with that, he'd give his comrade a thumbs up before he'd step forward between Tillie and the Nidoqueen, "Alright lady, no hard feelings but here we go!"

And with that, Hit would lunge forward with enough speed to make the Pokemon blink. His hands would wrap around the waist of the creature before sliding around the back, wrapping around it in a suplex before lifting it up with a loud grunt and bringing it over his head. The Pokemon would spend the next few moments in a series of suplexes, not expecting the man to be able to hold his grip! Soon enough, the Nidoqueen would be left defeated on the side of the road.

With bruises and scrapes on his skin, he would let out a groan and move further into the caves, "We should be getting close to the exit, hopefully there's another good fight waiting for us."

Hit and Tillie had entered the Granite Cave together with full intent to train as much as they could but, as they felt the day slowly come to an end, they were ready to call it. They had made sure to take the turns throughout the cave that would eventually lead them back to the way they came in, feeling their legs getting tired but not giving up. They knew they were getting close to finally escaping this place when, as they rounded a corner, they stumbled upon another enemy! There was a Sawk that was sitting there, cross legged, and prepared for someone to have stumbled onto it. Tillie looked up at Hit with pleading eyes that told him he was tired and the large man gave a small smile, patting his friend's head, "Fine, fine. I'll also handle this one but you have to understand, training next time won't be this easy." And with that, the man would start to walk forward towards the Pokemon.

The Sawk would open an eye to look at him and, with the same respect someone would give another human combantant, Hit would take a formal bow in front of the Pokemon before sliding into a basic Karate Stance. The Sawk would stand up, watching Hit, before doing the same and preparing for battle. And then, without any words to declare the moment, the two fights went towards each other. Hit and the Sawk would exchange furious blows with one another over the next ten minutes, the sound of blows connecting firmly with flesh filling the air. The Sawk had the upper hand at the start of the conflict, there was no question about it, but as it continued it was clear that Hit was using his brain to his advantage.

While the Sawk went full out, Hit had taken a more defensive approach and tried to get the most out of each blow, conserving energy while getting the maximum gain. It wasn't long before the tides of the battle turned and Hit used an impressive sweep kick to take the full weight of the Sawk out from underneath it, following up with a powerful elbow drop into the stomach! What followed was an injured Sawk and Hit sitting on the ground groaning for several minutes, before Hit would finally stand up, "You're pretty strong... You'd get along great with my friends and I, what do you say?" And with that, Hit would offer the Sawk, not only a hand, but a place in his party as one of his Poke-friend!
