It was all true that Alexei and his pokemon were doing a spectacular job, even with all of Desiree's flatteries that pushed her thought process forward; had Starburst not released the rings of the cosmic origins, there was no doubt that it would have been a dangerous two on one for the plump, pink pokemon! Smiling and wiggling the feline around in her arms as the room flashed light for a moment, relief was brought with the battlefield thinning out to a one-on-one, leaving nothing more than the exhausted Hawlucha and the tired yet determined Blissey raising its hand outward with a wave of happiness.[break][break]

Releasing the explosive nature of the shooting star pokemon was what the idol saw as a last resort, but this experience certainly proved that attacks of that nature could change the tide of the battle tremendously. As the Blissey was in closer quarters than it would have liked to have been during such a dazzling array, it had to wipe its starry eyes to regain the ability to see with complete clarity, just enough for the tiny bird wrestler to give it a complete smackdown with flying press. Rolling backward as it felt its muscles contract with soreness, it used its seldom remnants of energy to pick itself back up, indeed stubborn. Fuschia didn't want the fight to end just yet, it had to put on a dazzling show![break][break]

"Channel the heart of the Fortree Sanctuary, Fuschia~! ♡" Desiree commanded with a whimsical call, holding the Skitty outward to allow a high-pitched trill to flutter through the arena. Spinning energies through the tufts on its sleeves, it would use COPYCAT to mimic the FLYING PRESS; in doing so the wing-like formations on its arms would bring it to leap into the skies before slamming back into the bird with its technique. And it proved enough to be the final blow of the match! Looking down at the tired birdy, the normal type would give it tiny little kisses of love on its forehead as a means to let it know its stubbornness was not personal.[break][break]

The Florges on the sidelines cheered and the Skitty in her arms purred, guiding Desiree to step forward in delight to the center of the arena. "Ahh Alexei, that was so much fun~! ♡" She exclaimed, clasping her hands together in excitement.

Desiree giggled with a blush on her cheeks as she listened to Alexei's kind words, taking a hand to meet the Blissey's. Gently swinging it around, the more he pointed out brought more thoughts of how the normal type was indeed a durable cutie; it had to be all the stuff that she had been feeding it as of late, accompanied by the mystical energies in that precious egg of hers, no doubt! "That's so sweet of you~! It's had to have been all those ventures into the woods, where we pick our flowers and mushrooms, ♡" she said with a smile, ".. and oh my arceus that's so funny. She's a real fan of edemame and tempeh~! A real bulking baddie~"[break][break]

The thought of taking on more gyms was appealing; rather than wishing to become a champion-ranked trainer, she simply wanted to prove to herself that it was possible for anyone with the right skill set! Dreams were dreams, and that one definitely wasn't at the forefront of her mind, though. Taking the shiny, cold badge and looking at it within her palms, she was excited about it and the many more she hoped she'd soon be able to add to her set of eccentric earrings![break][break]

"Thank you so much for this, Alexei. ♡ Just wait til' we're more refined," she teased with a laugh and a curtsey, slipping the badge into her dress pocket. "Keep in touch, okay? I've gotta go film a couple of pieces for a music video, but I'm usually just around the corner!" Having held out the Skitty in her arms for a few beloved pets before she departed into the skies upon her Tropius, it was hard not to think of the future and what badge she'd aim for next! If only she knew how busy her future would be, cloaked with issues much more prevalent than reaching for badge stars in a looming, dark cosmos.
