Admittedly, the sound of sparking hadn't been one Quill was ever anticipating. Sure, electric-types were to be expected, but with how many fights he'd gone without seeing one, the Pikachu before him got him curious! The detective's Smeargle is already bounding forward, eager to sniff at the two strangers...

And meanwhile, Sio hums in amusement and curiosity themself. "I suppose so, so greetings! My name's Sio, and..." they pause, peering down at their partner pokemon and snickering. "That's Quill. It's a pleasure to meet you both." Seeing Quill's curiosity as rather harmless at the moment, they simply take Ollie's hand to shake before stepping back.

"What was that saying, about battles like these helping one really get to know another person? Do you suppose that would apply here?'

Quill yips happily as Tofu sniffs him in turn- friendship! That's most certainly a friend! Hm...had Chamomile ever stolen a hat similar to his? He'd have to check with the Sinistea later, if he remembered.

"I suppose you're right. Quill, darling- step back a little, will you?" Sio calls to their Smeargle, who hops back as Tofu goes to the center of the field. Tail wagging and still yapping, he seems just as eager to fight.

Which, as Tofu crackles with a beginning Discharge, Quill is already more than prepared to respond to the attack. With glowing pink paint slinging off the end of his tail, Quill is quick to utilize Me First, copying Tofu's attack to use before it!

"Yes, perfect! Keep that up, dear!' Sio cheers.

Sure enough, the Me First hits right where it hurts; though, that's to be expected, considering it's a move Quill's been able to use almost perfectly.

"He's getting too close; maintain your space!"

Maybe they were treating it a bit too similarly to fencing or something of that nature, but the point still gets itself across. Hastily yet artfully, Quill paints a bright pink shield. And steeling himself in place, he holds it out in front of him- treating the Psyshield Bash like a matador would treat their cape!

Battles are an art, and Sio has been involved in multiple forms of both; sure, they never fought on a proper battlefield, but here they were now, and there was the pile of documents back home for new reports. Where there is a battle, there is art. Where there is art, one battles, It's a universal truth.

Quill yelps as Tofu crashes into his shield, and he stumbles back a bit. Well, that wasn't what he'd expected to have happen to his piece! But he can fix this; an artist will always bounce back, after all! Hastily, he waves the brush end of his tail about, turning the pink shards of his shield into a deep purple and striking back with Bitter Malice!

Was Quill ever worried about the sanctity and purity of the canvas? Was Sio? Most likely not, with how the former preens at his successful hit. He can tell Tofu is standing on his last two legs, and it's more than ready to knock them both down.

Pink makes its reappearance on the canvas, before sparking into a gradient of yellow electricity. Sending a ball of light right back at the Pikachu, it's more than obvious that Quill has used Me First again, treating this like a game of volleyball!

Quill, while certainly happy about his victory, was also plenty tired from the battle himself. After a couple happy yaps from the Smeargle, Sio returns him to allow him to properly rest.

She nods and smiles at Ollie, giving a little bow.

"Thank you; and the same to you as well. I'm looking forward to seeing what you might have in store at a later date. Perhaps over tea or an interview?"
