Kouji was stuck in an outpost for once, the only time in this mission; maybe he was doing better than he had thought to be trusted with it; or maybe he was just expendable. But the terrain was rather plain, flat, and open. He could see far out there, but at the moment he felt little to nothing as he sat there. Taking the flask of water and tipping it back to wetten his dried throat.

[break][break]

Still, a mist took over; most likely one of the strange dream mists that was happening all over the place. He remembered his earlier experience with it, more than anything else, he wanted to avoid another level of contact with it. ”Hey, Kouji, go investigate it.” He was kicked to stand up which he did with a grumble before he went down the ladder and out into the open.

[break][break]

So, what the hell did the rest of those guys expect him to do? As he stood out there, nary a breeze to blow away the mist, he found himself wondering just what a grunt like himself was supposed to do about strange supernatural phenomena with his mere human hands. His golden eyes took in the surroundings, each step more careful than the last until he stopped, just before the mist itself.

[break][break]

”I don’t care what anyone says, I’m not going back to that strange nightmare realm.” He growled out, making sure there was a fair amount of space between himself, and the mist.

The mist that stood in front of him was a terrifying thought, but more than anything else; Kouji had a job to do. Why was he so terrified of himself to begin with? This place was harsh, tough even, but that meant the just had to toughen up, if he saw another one of those strange dreams, he’d just have to survive, again. ”Let’s go.” He whispered to himself in order to pump himself up.
[break][break]
Then he took in a deep breath, filling his lungs, before he jumped into the mist with all of his determination.
[break][break]
Then he felt nothing, nothing at all, it was normal; utterly normal. He pinched himself, slapped himself, and move around within it, but it seemed utterly fine. This was simply a normal mist, he slapped his own forehead as he walked forward. Just a simple mist, nothing to be scared of, he had utterly let down his guard as he walked towards a rock face, a simple rotation before returning back to base.
[break][break]
”This place is fucking me up.”

Kouji hadn’t expected to get jumped; the feeling of someone jumping onto him, of covering his mouth; it kicked him into gear straight away. He might well have been a so-so trainer, but he was a street rat, a delinquent, a man who spent almost every day getting into fights, being jumped?
[break][break]
Well, he had an idea on how to deal with it, the person was lighter than him, he bent forward at pace, bending his knees, and bucking his hips upwards as if to throw them off his back as if to get them off him as soon as possible, a hand flying for his pokeballs at his waist. ”Alright, let’s see who tried to kill me.” He said with a smirk, as if the idea itself excited him.
[break][break]
Being on watch was far more boring than a battle he was excited for.

”Eh?” Kouji tilted his head to the side as he fiddled with the pokeball in his hand. ”Didn’t you just get flipped over? Is that really something you should be saying?” It seemed rather straight forward to him. Her tone was strong, this woman was a leader, but that didn’t mean she was a fighter. He didn’t want to underestimate her in the slightest but.
[break][break]
”It’d suck to kick the ass of a hot chick, so why not just turn around and go? I’ll just pretend I didn’t see ya. I don’t know, consider it the remnants of my…Gentlemanly heart? Chivalric heart? I’m not sure, something flowery like that.” He threw his pokeball up and caught it, he was still tense and ready to go. But…
[break][break]
He might as well extend the favor that she offered him, a chance to run.

He couldn’t help but flash a grin at his opponent, it seemed at least they had some barbs, it took the edge off from the battlefield. ”Sorry, sorry, the league has no authority in this space, we’re in another world. So imma have to decline you, but I’ll take your number after I kick your butt.” He said as he threw up his pokeball, a red flash revealed his pokemon, Absol.
[break][break]
It howled the moment it was introduced into this strange realm, he released a loud howl into the air before looking at Elinor. Kouji crossed his arms, he didn’t have any plans of being caught, and allowing the comm station to be taken after his ‘clash’ with Gavin, it would’ve looked even worse for him.
[break][break]
He was ready to fight, just like always. ”Sorry, I can’t back down here, it ain’t personal.” He almost managed to sound apologetic before he crushed the sympathy he could feel, just letting his mind sink into the fight.

Kouji saw the attack and acknowledged, but even before he could talk, his Absol moved into action. ”Use night slash, slash your way through.” He commanded, his pokemon charged forward with that instruction in mind, and he slashed his way across it, one poisonous tentacle slashed, and yet another hit it on the soldier.
[break][break]
It burned, but it cut its way forward; trying to avoid taking the damage to its more vulnerable parts. ”There we go, go for it.” The dark horn on his absol begun to shine extra bright, even as purple blotches on its fur showed just exactly where he had been struck.
[break][break]
A downward headbut, aimed at the Clodsire’s head.

The pace of the battle was high, two prickly pokemon in a sense; Kouji could see that. ”Su-” Even before his command was finished, the Absol turned; shooting off a sucker punch and taking the mega horn at the same time; a rapid turn that led to him whipping his horn out towards the Clodsire, while the first piece of contact hadn’t activated the poison touch, this one most certainly did.
[break][break]
A sickly color began to spread from his forehead down his back, it was a strange thing; it only burned a little at first, but it began to spread causing Absol to release a howl just as he was shot towards the ground.
[break][break]
It was to be expected, Mega-Horn was a far stronger move, that led to him being overpowered.
[break][break]
”Tch. That’s a good pokemon, they got a name?” He looked at the Clodsire that was giving his own Absol a run for his money, no, Absol was just about losing this clash as it tried to force itself to its knees before collapsing. The super effective move and the poison had too much of an effect.
