Manectric sniffed out a smell that was oddly... calming. The normally alert hound sort of laid down, though it was wide awake. It refused to attack Musharna. Giona noted this, and scaled the cliff, back up to where he was. Climbing over the edge, he rolled over the side and laid flat on his back. He found himself face to face with the large Capybara, wreathed with a pink haze.

It blinked its always shut eye at him, before narrowing it again. Giona reached a warm hand out to pet it, and smiled weakly. Even if he could muster the energy to sicc his hound on it, he wouldn't. He breathed through his nose slowly, hand on its head. He tried lulling the already daydreaming creature into a deep sleep. He dug out a pokeball and pushed the button to its forehead, and a red beam held it.

Giona turned his head to the side, looking down at King. Normally, he'd be down talking to him, but he couldn't muster the energy to descend yet. In fact, he spoke with the vocal fry of someone who just woke up. "Of course not. Normally, they get the jump on me. Even in the break room, a 40 by 40 square foot room, someone finds a way to pounce on my ass." He said, looking down to the blue-haired man.

"Good on you for exercising, man. I find that I get sore all over on days when I don't work out. Do you feel that way too?" He said, looking back to Manectric. Giona dug a pokeball from his pocket, calling it back with a red beam. He then called out another, a purple shadow that sprung to life and scared the bejeezus out of him. He flinched and rolled down, caught by a clawed hand.

Gengar lowered him gently, snickering the whole time. The lethargic boy's eyes widened as he neared the ground, not seeing the hand on the nape of his neck. Giona slipped from its grasp and landed near King, with the purple shadow looming over him with an arched brow, patting his head. It's just barely self-aware enough to wonder if it went too far.

Razz would be able to notice an odd... dullness? to honedge. As if it'd been used for the time-honored tradition of cutting down small trees while on a hike. Well, it's nothing that can't be fixed by running it across a whetstone for a few minutes. The mean looking baby seemed like a perfect fit for Giona.

Giona dug the pokeball back into the pocket on his slacks, as it compressed. He tried to cradle it in his hand as it went down so as to obscure the R. He had a sheepish look on his face, as if he'd spilled a cup he drank from. He quickly covered it with bluster. With confidence.

"Hell yeah, dude. You can bother me too, if you need a +1 for the tournament. And... if they're just hanging out, there's a good chance that we can find 'em by going for a walk. You can have my number, too."

The waves rolled in. Kyle took the opportunity to clear the gap between the two, kind of pinning Giona between him and the cooler. A hand was stuck out, pointed towards him. He reached out his hand to grasp it. Kyle would be able to both see and feel a wrapping around his fingers somewhere between bandaging and a martial artist's grip-tape.

Giona took a second to pull up a phone with a sticker depicting a Haunter on its back, with one button at the bottom. He pulled up a page with his phone number and @ on social media on it. He held it out to display the information to Kyle, with a thumb gripping it in a way that obscured his name.

"I go by Mirco. And... if you want, I can call someone too. We could make this a double battle. They're a little frantic, but it'll be fine."




Notes: Honedge is defeated.

Getting closer. He had to prove that he could simply do all of the moves, right? Giona nervously readjusted his tie, having failed the test up until very recently.

Flygon turned back, chirping at Giona. He whistled a note that started slightly above his low-A, and ascended in a slide-whistle fashion. Flygon turned back, eyes narrowing at the stunned Pangoro. It kicked up a storm of loose sand and dust particles, using Dig. A big enough mound under Pangoro formed for Flygon to take cover and prepare to lunge without having to bury itself in the floor of the sub.

Giona was pushed back to his feet, and rolled to the side, back hitting the wall. He didn't fall down the stairs, but he'd give Haunter pause. A chance to cackle, pointing a clawed finger at the staircase. Meanwhile, Unfezant took flight in the cramped stairwell.

Giona smiled, looking up the stairwell. He looked past his eyebrows, holding back a wicked snicker of his own. “...”

Unfezant scaled the stairs. Haunter looked disappointed, as Chu-e through sheer force of will wasn't lulled to sleep. It started readying a Mean Look, trying to hold him captive. Unfezant reached the top, and stopped on a dime, hurling all the air kicked up as a compressed wave. A blast of Air Cutter headed for Haunter.


It was blindsided, and its still somewhat gaseous body was partly scattered by the blast. It then reformed, turning to face the crested bird. It then turned tail and fled, stopping when it saw a dead end ahead, and two different people bearing down on it.



TL;DR: It's time to get the ghost!!!

Something was up. Fernando deflected by getting invested in the battle all of a sudden. Giona couldn’t muster a similar effort. Ontop of that, he’d finished his drink. It wasn’t even the first drink he had at the tournament. Nonetheless it seemed to fall right through him. It left him running from the battlefield towards the nearest building. A minute passed. He returned with a mesh trucker hat on, with the logo used for the tournament monogrammed on the front. Must’ve been a paying customers only restroom.

Either way, the unexpected departure looked like a surrender. It certainly left the crowd that’d gathered for the battle feeling indifferent. Some faces in it looked to their phones.

"Nevermind. "

Meanwhile on the sand, the Sparks being kicked up looked like they weren’t going to be a problem. Combusken had kicked things like this before. It was blindsided when Morpeko turned its sparking into a tight shape of electricity, instead of just discharging all that power. Either way, it was hit by Aura Wheel and rolled like a stone skipped across a lake. It then stood again, disoriented and somewhat injured.

Fire Spin came in response. An attempt to keep at a distance and stir up the hot sands that kept the flying sparks from tasing anyone; by forming a spiral shape of fiery-hot air on its surface.  "..."




TL;DR: Combusken was hit and used Fire Spin.

Giona seemed to immediately burn out and disappoint. In focusing on Gyarados, he'd neglected the much bigger threat. A flash of cyan-tinted light marked a cold, dry fist careening into Flygon. Giona winced, looking around. He downed the rest of his magenta drink, and adjusted his necktie.

"Cool."

Flygon was batted back by Ice Punch. While it concentrated fire on the now out of reach Gyarados, it was blindsided by a glaring weakness, more severe than any other on the field. Flanked by the Metagross they'd both forgotten all about. Flygon rolled over on the sand after being struck like a stone skipped across a pond. Giona deposited it back in a Rocket patterned ball with a red beam to prevent further harm, then stepped out of the four sided configuration, off to the side.

"Someone else can take my spot by the cooler, so you don't have to holler for a drink."

Giona nodded, standing slightly infront of him. Bill’s confidence was as reassuring as it was unnerving. Normally, the Rockets he spoke to were either distant or actively talking down to him. It was new. Like a toy that a dog has a hard time approaching.

"Sure thing. In fact, I can give you the contact information for the admin that helped me set up the safehouse. Unless by chance... you’ve already met Decker.”

The way he scanned over the plants prompted concern. They looked a little sad, yes. But. Giona pinched the tip off of an arm of the aloe plant, then slowly undid the bandaging on his left hand. He started to dab the green slime on the recent looking burns across the fingers of his left hand, drawing on them with his right hand as if he were holding a pencil.


"The main artery has the expectation that you’ll be funneled into another room. This is the place to linger.  The place where we all just hang out, and occasionally someone will pop in and ask for a +1 for a gig.”
