As Renji danced around the field, appearing from one place to another, Mismagius launched a thunderbolt from the ether at him. Renji was quick though, and he was already in action. He narrowly dodged the Thunderbolt, flash stepping to Mismagius's flank.

Calling to his Pokemon from the sidelines, Shinobu commanded Renji, "Keep using Swords Dance, don't let her touch you Renji!" Shinobu thrusted his fist in the air, he was prepping Riolu's attack power for a mean strike. It would only take a matter of time for Mismagius to strike Renji with a thunderbolt though, his stamina wouldn't last forever and Mismagius was fast. Shinobu knew he would need to land a decisive blow on Mismagius early in the match if he wanted to win.

Continuing his technique, Renji resumed flash stepping around Mismagius, dodging her attacks and preparing for a surprise attack. His attack was on the rise, and Mismagius was sure to feel the cold steel of Riolu's claw.

As Shinobu watched his Pokemon fight, his heart was racing. The novice trainer had never fought such a strong ghost type Pokemon, and Elise's Mismagius was certainly a fearsome specter. Watching his Pokemon fight for his life got Shinobu's blood pumping and he was fully engrossed in the battle. IT was real, and Shinobu was fighting with his Pokemon.

When Mismagius locked onto Renji and blasted Riolu with Psychic, Shinobu's Pokemon went flying backwards. The shock of the psychic energy totally rattled Riolu. The young Pokemon didn't see it coming, and as he flash stepped in front of Mismagius, he took the blast head on. Renji went tumbling into the dirt, meters in front of Mismagius. The Emanation Pokemon quickly got to his feet, nothing but unrelenting force could knock him out, and Mismagius simply wasn't cut of the same cloth as Renji. Unfortunately he did sustain a lot of damage, and his mind was like a kaleidoscope of psychedelic colors from the after effects of the Psychic attack. Never the less, Renji stood up and prepared to fight back. Riolu pumped his fist in the wair, working himself up and gaining a bonus to his attack and defense by increasing his vigilance. Renji was alert and ready, but his reaction time was slightly off. He had suffered a serious attack and it wouldn't take much to finish him off.

Once Renji had gotten back to his feet and was all worked up, Renji commanded his Pokemon. "Alright Renji,go in for the kill. Use Metal Claw!" Shinobu pointed his finger forward and Renji dashed forward. As he ran, Renji extended his arm and three large metal claws extended from his paw. Renji closed in on Mismagius using his extreme speed, and then sliced at her with his Metal Claw.

When Elsie cried out in fear for her Pokemon, Shinobu ordered Renji to halt. The Pokemon did a flip backwards and assumed a fighting stance, ready to attack when his trainer gave the word. Renji didn't like being stopped at the last minute, but the Riolu considered himself a guardian, if his trainer wished to protect the enemy, Riolu wouldn't fight that. The Pokemon stood at the ready, his long metal claws cocked back in a chambered position.

Calling out to Elise, Shinobu spoke carefully to the young lady. "Are you okay Elise? We are just practicing! Do you want to put a pause on our battle, maybe sit and chill with our Pokemon?" Shinobu waved his gloved hand at Elise, trying to get her attention from across the arena. He was worried for his new friend, he outburst seemed to come from a deep place. As a royal, Shinobu could only imagine just what exactly Elise had bothering her. For himself, as a doctor, Shinobu felt a strong urge to reach out and help Elise.

Walking over to Elise, Shinobu dropped a treat for Renji. He had done well in the battle and it was looking like he would take the victory. Shinobu was proud of his little guardian Pokemon, and Renji happily scarfed down the milk flavored treat.As he stepped closer to Elise, Shinobu tried to shift out of the battling mood. He was raring to go, and having a lot of fun, but now he wanted to take a more compassionate approach with Elise.

Responding to Elise in a soft tone, Shinobu told her, "Have no fear, your highness. I understand what it's like to remember painful events, try not to let it get to you. You were doing just fine. A great battle." Shinobu gave her a thumbs up and a warm smile. "You're not weak Elise, but there's always someone greater than you. It's up to you to form strong bonds that will last through the tribulations. You can do it, you're a noble." Shinobu called for his Riolu to approach him. 
[break][break]
When Renji saw Shinobu call for him he came running up to the two people talking. Renji was a faithful Pokemon and Shinobu was his best friend, he was more than happy to be by his trainers side. Shinobu reached down and scratched Riolu's ears. "He likes his ears scratched. It'll cheer you up, Elise." Bent down, Shinobu looked up at Elise was a graceful countenance. He seemed to be a very forgiving man.

After betting Renji, both of them seemed to be in higher spirits. Shinobu was bummed out that he couldn't finish his fight, and so was Renji, but Shinobu didn't want to impose himself on the young lady, he was, after all, a gentleman. Shinobu pulled out his poke ball and returned Renji. "I'm sure he needs some rest after that battle. Your Mismagius was certainly ferocious! That Psychic blast nearly did Renji in!" Shinobu's eyes lit up as he remembered the awesome show of force between Pokemon.

Staring into Elise's eyes with his own royal blue colored eyes, Shinobu did what he so often did when people seemed to be hurting. He searched for the softness in Elise's heart by gazing into her soul, and then said, "Stay strong, Elise. Your Pokemon need you, and so does your nation." Shinobu looked to be real serious, his brow was furrowed and he was bent over in Elise's direction, just a tad. He didn't want to see any of his friends suffering, and Elise seemed to be going through quite a lot at the moment.
[break][break]
In an attempt to steer the direction of the conversation to something more cheerful, Shinobu pulled out a poke ball. "Fancy showing me the rest of your Pokemon?" Shinobu held his poke ball in his hand, ready to show Elise his friend.
