she doesn't usually do things like this anymore. there used to be a time in her life that she lived for the thrill of the chase, the adrenaline that came from putting her life on the line. that thrill gradually turned into something more obsessive, something more destructive, something that ended up costing her everything. now she holds back, not wanting to lose herself in it ever again. she can't change the past, but she can control her future.[break][break]

sometimes, though, she makes the executive decision to overrule her logic and just go wild.[break][break]

she despises team rocket. she won't let them take another region. she's seen up close and personal how bad things got in kanto, how bad they still are, and she doesn't want that to happen to hoenn as well. so here she is, dressed up like some sort of vigilante, stalking the route in the hopes of finding someone, anyone she can chase off. that's how she ended up here, challenging an adversary she knows nothing about.[break][break]

she holds a pokeball out. "call out your first pokemon," the hooded woman tells yotsu, no trace of her usual warmth left in her voice. "or i'll make sure you never come back here."

Oh, dear.

The thin line of her lips curls upwards into something approaching a sneer as she studies the younger woman, her own hands claspedw together serenely within the folds of her kimono. She isn't one for overt displays of passion, and this one drips with it, expels her anger through each exhale, each twitch of her muscles. A righteous sort of anger, she would expect. That's entirely reasonable, after all.

--There's no place on this earth for a group like Team Rocket, after all.

She's heard of their brutality, too, of course, and seen it now firsthand with her arrival at Petalburg. And yet, it doesn't bother her, not particularly. That's just how she is, she supposes. If something still has use to her, she can look past its flaws. It's very high-minded, when she puts like that. Very utilitarian.

Call it the wisdom of a life lost, or simple amorality. She doesn't much care, either way. Still, there are practices that must be observed.

"...Very well, then. I'll withhold my name, but I accept your challenge. I was trained in battle at the Ecruteak Theater, and I am carrying six battle-capable Pokemon. I am honored to be your opponent today."

She bows in a way that might be mistaken for reverence, were it not for the way her eyes did not change an inch in the course of introduciton. Always fixated on her foe, as any warrior must. Then, she draws herself up, and her eyes finally narrow, just a little.

--Who is the hunter, and who is the prey? The answer is lost in the silence of the battlefield.

"...Golurk, I choose you."

The Poke Ball is tossed with a cold sort of grace from her sleeve, and a moment later the silence is broken by a shudder that shakes the earth as the giant of stone and shadow falls upon it.

the ground quakes under her feet as the golurk appears, standing tall. maisie remains where she is, only selecting a pokeball of her own. her mandibuzz takes the stage, immediately recognizing that it's been called into battle, its stance changing. its wings open, and with a few mighty beats, it takes to the air, circling the golurk. from there, it won't be affected by any ground type attacks, making it ideal for doing battle with the partial ground type.[break][break]

maisie assesses the situation. "...use flatter." the mandibuzz lands in a nearby tree, facing the golurk. elvira proceeds to fluff her feathers up, doing a little dance in front of her opponent, almost as if she's encouraging it. used properly, this will confuse the golurk and raise its special attack. the effect maisie is mostly looking for is the confusion, though. it could allow her the proper opening to strike, if she's lucky.
