the encounter made for an unexpected one. 

"mister stone?"

she had ventured into petalburg woods for no other reason than to pray and contemplate. it had been a good while since she had last sought out such a thing - her work having prevented her from venturing beyond the borders of her own city. 

'i would have eventually run into something - or someone - but i didn't expect...' 

cait was garbed in a simple green dress that brushed against her outer thighs. her feet were bare and she appeared to be in the possession of a small purse, its thin strap running diagonally across her form.

"
training, i assume?"

vast and complex, petalburg woods acts as a bridge that connects two cities together, and without it, that connection is lost. while its usefulness comes from how it eases transportation between rustboro and petalburg, it also provides passageways that can be taken advantage of. the expansive nature of the woods allows for hidden routes that travelers can use to go undetected, and during times like this, those routes can prove to be dangerous.

which is why alexander has no qualms about closing them off. with everyone now forced to take the main route, it makes regulating them easier because it prevents unpredictable attacks like what rocket tried to do.

he hears a voice just as he finishes closing the final hidden path off. turning, he's met with a friendly sight. miss alfric! lovely to see you." his chesnaught soon returns to his side. "something like that, yes." he holds his cards close to his chest, not willing to reveal anything.

"and you?"

"for personal reasons. there's an old shrine here that i've wanted to visit for sometime."

her gaze swept across his form, the man garbed in attire that befitted his status. 

"
i managed to find it," she continued. "no one's tended to it in years, i'm afraid; so i may come back to clean it up when i have the time."

a silence befell the pair for only a moment, the girl considering the topic of 'training' for a moment before she offered up a smile. 

"
apologies for how abrupt this may sound," she said. "but would you be interested in a rematch at all?"

cait had wanted to return to stone's gym for sometime to challenge him - so she might as well take advantage of this random encounter.

the shrine is not unheard of but it has yet to catch alexander's interest enough for him to find it. it does, however, spark curiosity within him when he hears of miss alfric's interest in it. for such a young trainer, she seems to know exactly what she wants, and that is something he can appreciate.

"i hope you do. religion, or at least the idea of deities, are at risk of being forgotten, especially during times like this. i am glad you have yet to abandon it, miss alfric."

her request is abrupt, like she mentioned, but it is not entirely unexpected. he attributes it to her burning desire to grow into a formidable leader. it garners a surprised smile from the man and a look of excitement from his chesnaught. the grass-type practically bounces on his feet at the slightest hint of a battle.

"sure. how serious are we taking this?"

cait grinned knowingly, a surprising amount of sharpness present within the simple curve of painted lips as she responded. 

"serious," she declared. 

she had cut down on her personal time for the sole purpose of throwing herself at training and work and had benefited greatly from that intense desire to improve. the gym leader was beginning to slowly yet surely shear herself of the excess weakness that had formerly weighed her down. 

"
we'll bring out a maximum of six," she proposed.

cait held up five fingers before signing a one to follow closely behind the numeric gesture. 

"
it'll be a singles battle.  there are no other rules aside from that. interested, mister stone?

serious. chesnaught lights up with glee as he pounds his fists together, bouncing up and down on his feet as he looks to his trainer. the grass-type has to contain himself from simply bursting forward to take his place on the battlefield, but alexander knows his partner well enough to not deny him the satisfaction. after a nod from his trainer, chesnaught assumes battle position within seconds.

"i believe you have your answer."

taking a few steps back, alexander assumes his position on the battlefield, too. there is an appropriate amount of space between him and chesnaught and despite the void between them, their connection continues to be strong. a look back at his trainer is met with a warm smile.

"he has not had a battle in a while so he's a bit excited. please don't mind him too much."

cait offered the chesnaught a fond smile, reminded of her own that presently resided in her gym. she'd reach into her purse and produce a capsule from its cushioned interior before giving it a firm toss. 

"exeggutor."

the pokemon appeared before the chesnaught and his human counterpart, a grin upon its multiple faces as it peered at his chosen foe. 

"
just as we practiced.

it was the dual-type's turn to hop up and down, the creature excited that he'd be allowed to act freely for the duration of the battle. only a moment later, an egg bomb would emerge from the pokemon's head, the egg-shaped balls that were produced thrusting themselves in the direction of the fighter.

verbal orders come from miss alfric but the vagueness in her words reflects a certain league councilman he knows, and for a moment he wonders if they have met each other, or worse, if she has been training with him.

a look of confusion forms on the face of chesnaught when he sees the EGG BOMB emerging from exeggutor's head, and it only grows when he sees it flying straight at him. the grass-type moves ahead, bracing himself against the impact of the attacks only to feel nothing, not even when the eggs explode.

"simple attacks, chesnaught."

chesnaught's BULLETPROOF skin comes in handy; not even the sudden burst of flames seem to affect him, not when he BULKS UP to prepare for an attack. when he nears, he swings his HAMMER ARM upwards, attempting to deliver an uppercut to one of exeggutor's heads. it isn't a particularly effective move, but chesnaught doesn't have much options.

'bullet proof,' cait thought, a hint of a frown tugging at the corners of her lips. 'i'll need to remember that.' 

exeggutor stumbled the moment the hammer arm impacted one of his multiple faces. all three heads features had scrunched up into a tight grimace, pain flaring throughout as they very nearly toppled over. he managed to remain standing despite the force behind the blow, his expressions soon transitioning to that of rage. 
 
"exegg," he rumbled. 

one of his maws opened wide, a beam of power - an extrasensory - manifesting before the gaping orifice before it was shot toward the chesnaught; the psychic-type taking advantage of the close proximity he shared with his foe.

the solid thunk that comes from chesnaught's attack is satisfying, to say the least. it brings a wide smile to the grass-type's face as he lights up with even more glee, as if that's possible! chesnaught is a strong pokemon but like his trainer, he has manners -- while he could have gone in for another attack, he holds himself back.

EXTRASENSORY rings through his head and threatens to bring him to his knees. chesnaught clutches his head in agony, pain coursing through his peanut of a brain but the type of attack is not unfamiliar; it simply takes him a second to realize.

"you've done this before." 

words of encouragement, chesnaught hears it loud and clear. he opens his eyes, glares at the exeggutor, and charges in for another HAMMER ARM.

exeggutor's multiple grins were malicious in nature and only broadened at the sight of chesnaught's pain. the dual-type gathered his energy shortly after with the intention of inflicting yet another blow, only to be brutally interrupted as a hammer arm rammed into one of his heads. 

"exeggutor!" 

his shout was tinged with pained as he was sent reeling back several paces, his eyes scrunched tightly shut. the face that had been struck now wore a dazed expression, its mind effectively muddled by the force of the attack. 

'he should have seen that coming,' she thought.

"again, exeggutor."

cait's voice manages to sharpen his focus and he'd struggle to hastily conjure another extrasensory, two out of the three of his heads appearing alert and bright-eyed.

miss alfric's words ring through his head once more: serious. the peaceful sanctity of the woods are disturbed, restless from the battle that rages on within. life comes to a standstill for moments, pausing to allow the two to grace the grounds with their battle.

chesnaught's attack connects, but alexander does not celebrate yet because he knows what's coming.

"jump back!"

orders loud and clear, chesnaught immediately leaps backwards, creating a surprising amount of distance despite his large size. and like alexander predicted, the exeggutor reacts with the same attack.

"block it."

chesnaught remembers the psychic pain and shakes his head, not wanting to relive it so he turns his back and leads with his large shell. SPIKY SHIELD grows and extends out of his shell, tanking the damage as he starts to move backwards, towards exeggutor.

"turn, now!"

once close enough, chesnaught suddenly rotates on his foot and swivels, turning just enough to swing another HAMMER ARM at the exeggutor.

the raw power behind the blow sends exeggutor to the ground, the bipedal plant landing harshly upon his round side with a grunt. cait's eyes narrowed at the sight, her features pinched in displeasure as she peered down at her pokemon.

"exegg," he whined.

exeggutor's line were positively helpless once they lost their footing, their bulk and lack of forelimbs preventing them from standing once they had lost their balance. 

"we'll be working on that, exeggutor."

"e-exeg."

the pokemon's expressions grew somber as he noted the disappointment present within his mistress's tone. he'd be recalled shortly after and cait's smile would return, though it look slightly forced.

"
that's one for you, mister stone. impressive," she commented.

displeasure pinches miss alfric's features, showing her emotions towards the result of the first battle. exeggutor is no longer able to withstand the pain that comes from chesnaught's HAMMER ARM and soon loses its balance. the brief exchange between pokemon and trainer is noticed; alexander wonders just how much she trains her pokemon.

with the exeggutor recalled, miss alfric pays him a compliment with a smile, however forced it may be.

"you wanted serious, miss alfric." 

chesnaught stands strong, pounding his fists together as he rolls on the ground in celebration. he then looks to alexander and is met with a warm smile of appreciation. no words need to be said; the two of them are on equal understanding of one another.

"we are ready for your next pokemon." 

what does not go noticed by miss alfric is that chesnaught's pounding of his fists together are not a show of aggression, but it's to BULK UP in preparation. chesnaught looks back, and alexander smiles.

cait nodded her head and reached into her purse as she did so. after having tucked away exeggutor within its confines, his capsule would be quickly replace by another's.

"i did say that, didn't i?"

'time to dial it up a bit.' 

"
whimsicott."  

the small pokemon appeared before her, seated almost comfortably upon the grass as he peered curiously in the direction of his chosen foe. 

"
just as we practiced, boy," she prompted. 

the fairy rose, his eyes flashing in response to the familiar phrase. a tailwind was cast, lending the dual-type a much needed boost to his speed before it was quickly followed by a hurricane. the sharp winds were abruptly launched toward the chesnaught, little forewarning given prior to its execution.

'let's see if his fighter can manage this.'
