Smidge lets out a small cry from above as it takes off again. "Alright!" J.J. yells, taking off with his bike as he begins riding it downhill, picking up speed the further he goes along.

As he speeds downwards, a Gurdurr suddenly pops outwards from the grass, unaware of what's going on. J.J., unable to stop himself instead pulls the bike upwards, causing it to hop onto one wheel as he proceeds to slam the front wheel directly into the pokemon's face. The attack is sudden but enough to cause it to fall downwards. He momentarily looks back at the sudden attack, rotating his bike to slide to a halt as he pulls out a pokeball.

Before the Gurdurr can even get back up, he tosses a pokeball at it./div]

A chuckle escapes from J.J. as he’s slightly amused by the woman’s bougie attitude. She’s clearly out of place as she seems to find everything around her distasteful and unfitting for a woman of her stature, not that he doesn’t mind though. He’s seen plenty of people like her.

”Say, what’s your name, miss?” he asks, hovering somewhat closely around her with a smile on his face as he follows after her to the back.

He’s curious as to why she’s here, but not curious enough to outright ask; though it’s obvious enough that she means business. Yet, before he can enter the back room with her, he finds that she’s already leaving causing him to momentarily peek his head through the door with an arched brow. Both he and the others in the room are left asking what happened between each other.

He’s distracted by the girl’s sudden scream of disgust, causing him to step away to check up on her. ”What’s wrong?” he asks, but upon seeing her confrontation with the googly-eyed wooloo, he simply breaks down laughing.

As if anticipating the girl’s retaliation J.J. only smiles as the Lucario dashes mid-air towards the Pinsir, watching as it slams its elbow into the large bug’s cheek. Its head tilts slightly from the force, but it’s not enough for it to take a single step back. Sturdy and battle-hardened, there’s a cold glint in the humanoid beetle’s eye as it snaps its head forward, pushing back against the elbow.

Gatack’s arms seemingly begin to bulge and glow yellow as it quickly wraps them around the Lucario in a powerful bear hug. The cold glint in its eye as if it had caught the poor dog-like pokemon in its trap. It squeezes tightly with its SUPERPOWER as it tries to crush it within its grasp.

Shelly struggles to make proper distance as both Wren and the Lucario are stubbornly inclined for close quarter combat. J.J. clicks his tongue as he knows the Audino isn’t much of a fighter despite her tenacity and taunting.

The damage being dealt is a little more than it can handle and she clearly looks to be wearing for the worst as the Lucario invades her personal bubble.

Frowning, he holds out his pokeball, recalling her through a red beam. Surprised by the sudden recall, she looks back to her trainer in disappointment, but is unable to voice out her complaints as she suddenly disappears within the red and white ball. He gives Wren a smile as he lightly tosses it up and down.

”Not bad, not bad…” he tauntingly chides knowing full well that the Audino is going to recover from any damage that was dealt now that she’s back in her pokeball thanks to her useful ability.

Without saying much else he tosses out a new pokeball, letting out an imposing looking Pinsir as it lets out a mighty roar – glaring over at the Lucario as if it were its new prey. Its large pincers briefly grind against each other as it takes a stance.

J.J. silently watches as the Lucario pushes through against the vibrations of the Audino’s cries. Shelly recoils backwards in pain upon being slammed by the canine, yet there’s a ferocity in her that doesn’t hesitate to stop as she reaches outwards, grabbing onto the Lucario’s palm to pull herself forward.

Without hesitation, she springs forward, her head glowing a purplish glint as she tries to ZEN HEADBUTT the two-legged dog directly against its snout.

The corner of his lip curls upwards as he’s somewhat proud of the Audino’s tenacity, but his guard doesn’t drop as he eyes the Lucario’s trainer somewhat curious and apprehensive of what she might have planned for her next move. ”Shelly, get some distance.” he barks.

The Audino is quick to respond as she quickly begins hopping away from the Lucario repeating what it had previously done to her as she wags her palm at it.

A chuckle escapes his lips upon seeing how nervous and paranoid the girl is. It's quite adorable and humorous if he were to be honest. Yet that lackadaisical attitude and charm he carries with him quickly fades as his blue eyes turn to the Lucario.

Against it all, the girl means business and he isn't the type to back away from a serious challenge. Shelly's eye seems to twitch at the sight of the Lucario taunting her with its open palm and she briefly looks back to her trainer, pointing at the bipedal canine as if she were asking permission. J.J. quietly lowers his head as he ruffles the back of his hair, looking upwards. "Alright, thank you for your kindness. he says somewhat chillingly.

Upon confirmation, Shelly turns back to the Lucario, puffing its cheeks just before opening her mouth, letting loose a loud song-like cry - it's DISARMING VOICE causing the air to seemingly vibrate and distort towards the Lucario.
