Vs Sebastian Lavigne

He arrived at the stadium in style— by which he meant late.

"Sorry, sorry! Was in the ER!" He shouted as he hurried to his side of the field, followed lazily by a Scyther. "Hoooh! Uuuh, I'm John, nice to meet'cha. Ready?"

His Scyther stepped forth to his side of the field, nodding at her opponent.

TL;DR:
Pleasure to meet'cha, Seb!

Seb grumbles to himself when his opponent shows up. Damn, he was kind of looking forward to that default win.[break][break]

The ER that... sounded kind of serious. Seb flicked his eyes up and down the other, looking for some sign of injury, brows pinched and lips twisted sour.[break][break]

"You're here now." Is all he replied with, Kalosian accent thick on his tongue. It was said with some finality. A sharp whistle was signaled, and a massive Talonflame landed between the two of them. "Lavinge. Ready."[break][break]

He nodded to his opponent.

He wouldn't find any injuries on him, but he was wearing a medic's scrubs.

"Thank you kindly." He said, perhaps mistaking the other's words for a kindness.

For her part, the Scyther examined her opponent wearily. A flying-fire type... of all the unfortunate match ups—

"Don't get discouraged, Kama!" Doug called out after a moment cheerily. "Just get in there and have some fun, yeah?"

Deep end it is.

The Scyther launched forth, rushing across the battlefield before suddenly leaping in a somersault's arch, attempting to goomba stomp her avian opponent.

TL;DR:
-Kama used Acrobatics!

Another small nod was given to Doug, a tilts of the head as he watched the Scyther and his Talonflame dance.[break][break]

The look on his face screamed nonchalance; like Doug and his pokemon weren't anything. But, his body betrayed him as it usually did. Arms crossed tight, foot tapping with a nervous energy.[break][break]

You see, Sabastian was not a pokemon battler. He'd only participated by encouragement of luka chêne, who perhaps wanted him out of her hair for a bit. Or, maybe, just felt bad he didn't have any friends (except for her).[break][break]

Alpha would give him damnest, though. He started off this battle as he had every other one, kicking up a Tailwind as he beat wings to pull himself back into the air. Maybe if he was fast enough, the other pokemon would miss and hurt itself.

Kama landed heavily, a grunt following as she glared up as the Talonflame. It had darted away at lightning speed, the wind itself seemingly favoring it over the unfortunate bug.

Her arms visibly blurred before two booms echoed in the arena, walls of wind barreling towards Alpha while challenging the breeze beneath his wings.

Two booms. Alpha was fast and he was strong; but he was pretty weak to big hits like that. His best defense was to never get hit to start with.[break][break]

Dipping and flying, he tried to turn sideways in the air while launching into a Quick Attack. His goal was to fly between the two sonic bursts and strike the Scyther again.

Kama got dodged and smacked at the same time. Talk about getting styled on.

Unfortunately for the world at large, if she had anything, it was spite and a temper.

A crimson aura surged around Kama, pooling around her scythes as she crossed them before herself—

Before a storm hit the stadium.

Well, there was no dodging that.[break][break]

Even if someone Alpha rolled a 100 and got that + 30 bonus he couldn't win this round![break][break]

So, the poor bird just got flung around the cyclones summoned, spinning around uselessly in the air like he was being flushed down a toilet...

It wasn't going to single handedly turn around the match, but it would at least make her feel a little better...

BUT NOT ENOUGH!

Spreading her own wings wide, Kama leapt high in the air towards Alpha, eager to take another potshot while the avian was still hopefully disoriented.

After spinning uselessly in the air for a while and taking hit after hit, Alpha felt exhausted....[break][break]

But not enough to quit![break][break]

Spreading his own wings, he tried to right himself in the air before hitting the ground, sweeping back upwards in a long arc. He watched Kama, then repeated her movements- and used his own Acrobatic against her.

The exchange that followed was a treat to the eyes, both pokemon engaging themselves in close quarters while several metres high in the air, each moving lithely as if dancing on clouds.

Inevitably though, Kama had to come back down to earth. Her wings were not intended for prolonged flight. But hey, Alpha's talons weren't meant for close quarters combat either, so the fight wasn't entirely uneven.

Glaring up at her opponent, Kama raised her scythes on both sides of herself, before punching at the air before herself.

Once again, a boom filled the arena as walls of wind were sent towards Alpha.

It was a closer battle than Seb had expected; and not to slight on the other trainer. He just wasn't a battler. His pokemon had been bred and trained for racing since he was a chick, not for this kind of fighting. Seb was impressed that Alpha had managed to keep up as well as he had at all during all his matches.[break][break]

With one last hoo-rah, the Talonflame lit himself on fire. A ball of glory, he raced at the Scyther, turning sideways to try and slide through the gap again and land his Flame Charge. But, it might have been too narrow this time...

Perhaps because she had seen this maneuver before— Kama was rushing to catch him in the middle this time, arm cocked back to click him in the face with the blunt of her scythes.

"Thank you for the match." Doug said from the center of the stage, holding out his hand to the other young man. "Your Talonflame's agility is something else. Haven't seen many pokemon move like that in battle."

He was perhaps barking up the wrong tree, given the other youth's somewhat cold demeanor earlier— but he either didn't notice or didn't mind, smiling brightly at Seb.
