He perches carefully, watching a patrol move quietly below him. The foliage is thick, but the heat signatures his helmet can track give him a good enough idea of what's happening. He took a deep breath, slow and silent as he stood crouched and perched. His wings, the few poking out through his waist or neck, flutter idly. [break][break]

It's the usual nerves, and a few breathes ease him. And then the simmering starts. A slow boil of anger and hatred and grief all curling and bubbling into one acidic feeling that practically could drip off him. He almost swore he saw that technicolor sludge from his nightmares all over again, but this time leaking from him. [break][break]

That'd track. He'd made that mess after all. He wouldn't' even be surprised if the crack in his heart were filled with the stuff ,able to seep through after he'd practically given up on himself again. [break][break]

The thought of and pulls him back just so. Just before the itch in his eyes is noticeable or the tension in his body eased. It's comforting, and it focuses him. He drops without warning. No powers, no feathers, although they hover in his spot and wait for new orders. Neon slams down hard on what he thinks is an officer. He heard many cracks but its unclear if its sticks or bones. [break][break]

"Halt, yer money or yer lives!" he mocked, taking on a strange western tone as he flashed a grin.

Neon vs Elaine

Skirmish



This really was a strange choice.

The detective had sighed and scratched the back of her head. She had been sent to the outskirts of Route 104 close to the Petalburg Woods in a mini-recon mission. With the recent takeover of Petalburg, she had been tasked with taking stock of enemy numbers in the area as well as the distribution of their forces.

War would not be re-starting soon...probably. However, it was not like they could let things be easy for Rocket. Supply lines. Distribution of their grunt forces. Any intel or rumors floating around the grapevine.

She had been told to gather as much of that as possible. And moreover, she had still had one more directive to establish here.

She had been stealthy enough that the average grunt wouldn't be able to take notice of her. But that was just it. She was only keeping her presence hidden from the small fry who could swarm around. So, she was acutely aware of just how loud her presence was to those who were stronger than that.

And just as she had hoped, someone had dared to clamp down on the juicy morsel that was waving itself in their face.

She didn't make any grand jumps. Instead, she got to the ground and rolled down to the side. The ground cracked. Small chunks of rock hit her face, but she was not made vulnerable just yet.

"Really? That's what you go with?" Standing back up, she shrugged and sighed. The strong one who had caught onto her had been a strange one too. It wasn't just his choice of mockery. There was just something unnatural about him. As if a piece of a mosaic had just been jammed in by the artist.

"I think I prefer to give up neither."

Reflexively she placed her hand on one of her Pokeballs. She could hope they could walk away right. But she knew far better than to expect that. So, she simply grinned, hiding away the bundle of nerves that was her beating heart.

Neon cracks his hands standing up and hearing a soft pop in his knees. He looks to his feet and sees nothing but stray branches and kicked up rock. Missed. Not that it bothered him too much as he stretches his arms behind his back and hears more little cracks between his shoulder blades. He's surprised someone pops up long enough to give him sass back. Though, its less sass and more...indifference. The joke didn't land. He'd thought it was funny. "It wasn't really a question." he said casually, flashing the familiar LED grin as the wings on his body flap a couple of times. He faces the redhead. [break][break]

"You should've run. Would've given him a little bit of exercise." he said as his Luxray pounces towards the detective form the shadows, eyes glowing bright red in the gloom of the forest. Neon doesn't move. After all, Cacio was the more experienced hunter. [break][break]

"Any last words: preferable, what you're doing out here." he added loudly as he allowed his Luxray to take charge of the situation for now. He gives it a couple of seconds before darting in behind his partner, flanking the detective on the ground.

Neon vs Elaine

Skirmish



"Yeah. You're right." You should have run, the man said. She knew from the very start what her role was here. She was supposed to gather intelligence and return with it. The role of a scout was far from that of a useless one.

But the time she had recently spent attempting the gym challenge had taught her a few things. She could not simply act for the sake of keeping in the safe zone. Strength didn't grow from that. She had to put herself forward, keeping herself perfectly cognizant of that razor edge betwen safety and danger.

Life wasn't so convenient that she and her Pokemon would be blessed with a Zenkai Boost every time they were defeated. But continuous battles and defeats still had their meaning. Elaine Highland was going to make sure of that.

"But I'm not that kind of person."

From her hand, as she saw the enemy making his move, she tossed up the Pokeball she had chosen. Opening in midair just a short distance above her, it revealed Tiamat, the ground dragon of her team.

In that same motion, she grabbed the Flygon's hand. As it pulled her up, she flipped into the air upside down. With a smile, she nodded at the dragon as it slammed down upon the ground, in an attempt to quake the very earth she once stood upon.

"But I don't think last words are necessary. After all, I'm not going to die here. Not to you."

There was neither malice nor worry in her voice. It was strange. She had no clue if she was fighting a losing battle. But her soul never felt more calm.

"That's unfortunate." he said. "I'll just pull the info off your corpse then." he said. When the EARTHQUAKE hits, Neon stumbles forward, flank interrupted as he fell to the ground and tried to hold on and avoid the opening up earth. Unlike its trainer, the Luxray's paws glow with a dull light as he activated a MAGNET RISE, hoping forward as he tried to CRUNCH down on the redhead. [break][break]

Neon begins to get to his feet. "Sorry, shouldn't have phrased it like you had a choice in the matter." he said, pulling out one of the dagger's had gifted him. The second he can get stable footing on the broken ground, he's off, targeting the trainer first.

Neon vs Elaine

Skirmish



Trainer and Pokemon had fallen into a strange rhythmic dance. As the dragon had thrust its weight upon the ground, shaking it, Elaine found herself landing gracefully upon its back. Truly, it would have been worthy of a ten out of ten from any competent judge.

But what mattered not was any display of elegance, but the chance for survival.

The one who had stumbled still spoke as if he were on the front foot. Which meant that either he was a fool or he was far more skilled than he had shown yet. On the other hand, his Pokemon had deftly avoided a critical blow and continued to come charging at Elaine and Tiamat.

So, she reached her hand into her Flygon's periphery. As soon as she knew the dragon would be able to see it, she splayed out her fingers, keeping her hand parallel to the ground. That was all she did.

"Such bluster. Feel free to not back it up. You won't ever lay a finger on me."

In that moment, the dragon's head craned back for a mere instant. In the next, it's head lurched forward, a booming cry burst from its mouth towards the enemies before them. To hell with stealth and escape. She was on the attack here.

His Luxray is launched back despite the valiant efforts to hold steady. Neon doesn't have much cover, simply darting for what he thinks might be the edge of the sonic wave before ducking low to the ground to keep form getting sent flying. The scout is now back on the dragon's back. His head buzzes and his body shakes against the vibrations of the attack. For a moment he's shaking and confused before he tapes his pokeball and returns the Luxray. The big cat, tired form carrying other battles already, was finding it hard to stand after a particularly bad crash into the trees. The momentary confusion from the BOOMBURST only made it worse. "I'll take it from here." he said to the predator as he ripped off a blue green looking ball and tossed out his next partner. [break][break]

In a blast of white smoke and bright white light lines, the shadow Glaceon takes center stage while the Beast charges upwards, unafraid of the incoming bad weather. The Glaceon seems to emanate a strange dark glow as the temperature began dropping rapidly around it. Frost gathers at its paws and it attempts to down the duo, summoning a BLIZZARD to block off their escape strategy and keep them closer to the ground. Neon doesn't balk at the bad weather. The chill sharpening his senses and focusing his attention, letting the wind and ice whip up with a fury as he called out, "You're not getting away that easy!"

Neon vs Elaine

Skirmish



At the very least the strategy seemed to work. The enemy recalled his own Pokemon as he and his Luxray tried to evade the brunt of their attack. In doing so, he, however, opted to change his strategy.

The cold wind whirled around, a cage to entrap the enemy's prey--his declaration made that as clear as the day had been only a few minutes prior.

"Fine then."

But who said anything about escape? She was making no move to run. She was on the attack here.

Though, I should at least make sure I have an exit strategy.

She wanted to win. She wanted to test her mettle. But a life sacrificed to such whims would be easily forgotten.

Elaine Highland worked best at a distance. But that distance was tending ever closer to zero.

"Time to carve out a little niche here." With the same hand she used before, she pointed to the ground they were floating over. Her fingers splayed once again, creating an even greater angle between them--a simple but effective signal.

The Flygon once again, as she flew just a few feet higher, wound back her head before breathing a great five-pointed 大 beneath her as that blast of fire slammed into and lit the grass on fire.

From here on, she was taking a massive risk--one she could not afford to fail, lest she burn by her Pokemon's own flames.

Neon doesn't hesitate. He sees a target, and he aims. The cut of knife through air is barely heard over the raging storm above as he throws a dagger upwards, aiming for the trainer's hand. Even if it missed, anything it took to knock her out of her rhythm. The flames follow and he knows he cuts it close when he hears the warning beeps as his screen fills with white, and he has to swap to a normal sight. The heat burns, making him sweat no matter how loud the little cooling fans in his head whirred. [break][break]

The flames keep him at bay, and even with Semifreddo's control, he wouldn't be able to put everything out. With melting snow and ice collecting on his body he decides it's probably better to take the risk. The Glaceon opens it's mouth firing off a sharp barrage of ICE SHARD as it's trainer tenses, raising two fingers that glow for a moment as a PSYCHIC energy wraps around the Flygons foot trying to jerk it downwards as he tried to jostle Elaine off the back.

Neon vs Elaine

Skirmish



Were it not for the linear sear burning up the back of her hand, Elaine would not have noticed the knife flying up towards her. She withdrew her hand but she could see blood dripping from that thin line down her middle finger and onto the ground below. Perhaps, the large, obvious hand signals were not the best of ideas she had.

But that was the least of her worries in that moment. After all, that was something she had noticed only after she saw and felt what had happened to Tiamat. Multiple shards of ice collided with Tiamat and its body suddenly jerked down to the ground, throwing her in the air.

That wasn't good. The strange pull was one thing, but the ice attack had directly hit Flygon in the chest. Quickly, she returned the dragon back to its Pokeball to rest as she braced herself to land on the ground. If she were only a few feet higher, this would have been fatal. But thankfully, she was able to land in a roll behind a set of flames that had not gone out. Her head was rattled in the process and she was probably bruised on her back, but she was still alive and kicking.

As she stood back up, she picked up a Pokeball. She didn't make any grand motions or throws. Instead, while it remained in her hand, she gave it a flick, opening it and letting the ghostly knight within stand behind her.

"Get ready."

As she said that, Jeanne's blades glowed a deep purple and the two stood back to back, keeping their eyes peeled. The moment they saw movement, they would position themselves to attack. Elaine was being forced into close quarters. She was ultimately at a disadvantage, but that was fine.

She was not in checkmate just yet.




Tags:
TL;DR:
  • Flygon faints and Elaine lands within the corner of a wall of flame that has yet to die out
  • Elaine takes a cut from the flying knife. It leaves a laceration in the dorsum of her hand to her wrist, but doesn't disable it. However, she is actively bleeding.
  • Elaine releases Ceruledge and stands back to back with it as it readies Bitter Blade
  • MP total=100MP+50MP (Her Pokemon faints)+50 MP (Injury-Indirect)=200MP

Neon bolts the second he sees the duo down. The dragon disappears and his Glaceon pushes in, blasting an ICE BEAM for cover as the Beast moved in closer. The beam cuts a line through dying embers, specks of light refracted wildly as ice and fire mixed. Semifreddo doesn't hesitate, aiming his attack for the Ceruledge to pull it's attention. [break][break]

Neon gives chase, undeterred by the Ceruledge as he finally plucked a few feathers, joining his partner's ICE BEAM with a steely attack of his own. He splits in half, a copy of him flanking his right and left as he goes for the pair once more. He lets the shadows of himself charge while instead moving to get in close to Elaine and kicked her to the side. [break][break]

"Drop your intel, and maybe this'll be painless!" he warned, electronic voice cutting through the tension as Neon swarmed.

Neon vs Elaine

Skirmish



The situation was growing more and more dire by the second. This was hardly like the time where she had fought Cillian Quinn and was ultimately overwhelmed in one moment. Whatever advantage she held before had steadily slipped away as nothing was left. The walls of flame that kept them from sight were wiped out in mere moments.

But there was more than just that.

The Ice Beam cut through aiming towards Jeanne but she responded in an instant, cutting through the chill with her revenent flames. But that didn't stop the two of them from having their position compromised.

And that showed immensely the moment their enemy had joined in with the attack and...

He split apart?!

She had little time to process this as either attempted to flank her. With her other blade, Jeanne attempted, in reflex, to slice through one of the incoming copies.

But that wasn't enough. She brought her hands to her chest to try and block the best she could, but she misjudged where she would be hit as the one closer to her ended up kicking her to the side, slamming her into a tree.

Falling to the ground, she quickly sat herself up, hearing the warning. But though she heard it, she would have no need to heed it. After all, it was hardly like she could pick up her brain and leave it there.

"Shame that's a tad impossible." Despite the disadvantage she was at, she coughed out those words while standing back up. She never once dropped her smug grin.

Attack had failed. She was not strong enough for this. She was weakest in the domain of close quarters. She could see where the chess pieces were beginning to fall. So, she had to focus. She was losing, so she had to make sure she retreated.

Her life was worth far more than any damn pride she had here.



Tags:
TL;DR:
  • Ceruledge uses the prepped Bitter Blade to break the Ice Beam and attempts to attack one of the clones
  • Elaine takes the hit and is knocked away
  • Elaine mentally prepares her exit strategy
  • MP total=210MP+50 MP(Reference past thread)=260MP

Semifreddo move in with the flames controlled a bit more. His body glows with dark, strange energy as he cast a sudden SHADOW CHILL on the Ceruledge, summoning the other power he'd been gifted with. The Glaceon's eyes glow with horrifying power as tendrils of shadow and ice begin to coil around the opposing Ceruledge. [break][break]

"Then that makes this easier." he said as he landed on the ground before pushing off it a chasing. Psychic power plucks at the feathers mingling around his hair and shoot forward trying to pin the escaping scout down. [break][break]

As the steel feathers shine and begin sticking into the ground, trying to catch whatever they could, he turns to his Glaceon. "Close in! We're ending this now!"

Neon vs Elaine

Skirmish



There were fewer moments more apt than this one where Elaine wished she had a few decoy SD cards like she did once before. Or at least something she could throw away much like a Salandit's tail.

"Didn't I tell you already?"

She had lost. She would not beat the man standing before her. But she could still live. There was no need for anything as simple as a counterattack.

"You won't have your way."

She had annoyed him just enough that he wanted to kill her. So, there was no way she would let him have that satisfaction. A childish sentiment, but one that drove her regardless. With a snap of her fingers, both she and Jeanne took to action.

Seeing the incoming attack, the spectral knight quickly vanished, as if she were a mere phantom.

In that next moment, Elaine took the opportunity to roll to the side, out of the way of all the feathers flying towards her. She felt something searing across her back, but she paied it no mind. As she gained just enough distance to be out of the way, the splotches of blood from where she rolled across made it clear just what had happened.

Nevertheless, she remained smiling and as she jumped back to her feet and the Ceruledge re-appeared, aiming to crash straight into the trainer who dared attack her own. With the next move, she kept her hand on a pair of Pokeballs.

This was the first move. The exit would be a bit of work, after all. Throwing off prey that had the scent of her blood would be far from easy.

Semifreddo's attack dopn't find purchase and so he begins to look for the next closest available target. As Neon charged forward he's knocked backwards by the Ceruledge, rolling back on the grass with a grunt. The Glaceon shifted a harsh ICE SHARD towards Elaine aiming low to injure her enough from leaving. [break][break]


Neon flutters uselessly, popping back and glaring at the Ceruledge. It's interference is annoying, and it's faster than he thought it'd be. No matter. "Out of the way, knight!" he ordered pulling back his feathers to send back at the dual type before him. He's not letting any scout ditch. If he couldn't get any intel, he'd kill her all the same. They needed the scouts, and he would just keep thinning them out until the League couldn't recon anymore. He doubted that would happen but he knew first hand how annoying losing the ability to look ahead was.
