the speed of the Corviknight was an impressive sight. he tore a needle down the flaming arc, parting the flames that would have burned his body with his energy using Brave Bird. the heat was felt, and the burning intensified the nearer he got to the Charizard. but he didn't relent.

not until he broke free of the flames. not until he damaged the other Pokemon. but whether he did or not, as he neared the rest of his health gave gently. his energy zapped and he began to fall. if he did hit the Charizard, it was a final gambit. if he didn't, it was a sacrifice that Siobhan did not fault him for. he had done his job well.

"rest, Poe" she says, recalling him.

eyeing the Charizard, Siobhan would throw a sphere. this one contained her Shiny Dragonite, Tiamat. "Thunderbolt" was a command, and a good one against the typing. the dragon did not even hesitate. seeing her foe, she unleashed a powerful bolt of lightning at the Charizard.

one down. Alexei's Togekiss would faint from a hard fought battle, but taking it's place was a mighty Charizard. Poe was, for all his hard work, slowing down. even if he didn't reveal it, she knew it. "Brave Bird." Siobhan's one final request was this.
[break][break]
the Corviknight knew.
[break][break]
do as much damage as possible in the final gambit, and then recoil from the effort. there was no switching out for them. they would meet the Charizard and Alexei head on. Poe's body was engulfed in harsh shining light before he shot toward the Charizard with the intention to make a sizable dent in it's scaly hide.

the Corviknight was the first Pokemon she ever received. found as a Rookidee in the depths of the woods, she had nursed him back to health. their bond was excellent, which is why she had sent him out first. Siobhan knew Poe would not disappoint her. she knew he would prevail.

the Steel Wing would hit, and yes, they were now close to each other. the Togekiss was slowing though, and so was Poe. but he refused to let it show; his wings beat strongly and there was a gleam in his eye. "Drill Peck!" she calls out as the Ancient Power hit the raven. he flapped wildly against the rock attack before diving.
[break][break]
it did hit him, but it would take more than that to down the avian. he shrieks in respond to the pain before shooting his head forward, body following. his beak shines with light as it aims at the Togekiss.

Wiggle was the command from Alexei. Siobhan inwardly chuckled at the display, but kept her stone-face on visibly. a fierce fire would escape the Togekiss. this was nothing to scoff at. Poe continued on, trying to dodge the fire with some expert avian displays.
[break][break]
he was attempting to get close enough to use his Steel Wing on the Togekiss. the flames licked at his body, burning him. he grit his beak against the pain, soaring through the fire. once close enough, it was a gambit. he aims at the Togekiss, flapping one giant wing in hopes of doing damage back to the other bird.
[break][break]
she knows Poe is made of tough stuff, so does not call out a command. she only clutches at her concern inwardly.

"forgive him" she notices the squint of Remiel's eyes "Cheshire was in a cage for a long time" how long was uncertain; even Black Market dealers didn't sell baby Pokemon. they had to wait until the kitten was of a particular age. "he is not used to other people."

hell, he was not really used to her yet. she raises a hand, ungloved, to reveal the bite and scratch marks. the Litten looks briefly ashamed, turning his head away. Remiel reveals why he was here, gesturing to the Egg he carried. "I see" Siobhan responds "then you must be busy." perhaps meeting someone else or having business with the Egg in particular.

too busy to talk to her for long.
