Whew; today had been a long day. But Yip was still raring to go! Ettie giggled as she and the Smeargle tussled a little from their end of the battleground as they waited for their next opponent, wiggling and wagging aplenty. Lighthearted little bites at the air in front of eachother, rolling and wrestling at one another... It was truly as though they were a pair of dogs at play!

But then came the question, who would their next opponent be? (And when would the two notice, being so engrossed in play?)

The thing was - Ettie wasn't commanding Yip all too much. She was mostly cheering the Smeargle on with little whoops and - well - yips. This wasn't a cooperative activity like a hunt, and it wasn't as though Ettie was in on the fighting, too - so as far as the wildchild cared? Yip was an equal - her own person - who was able to make her own choices.

Raikiri's little gambit was a success in either case; Yip swung high, and the enemy Zeraora struck low. The disguised Smeargle yelped as she was tripped up and sent tumbling down, and grunted as Raikiri slammed atop her.

Eager to kill two birds with one stone - getting free and using the proximity to her advantage - Yip would attempt a close range attack. Namely, letting loose a Tera Blast at Raikiri by attempting to swing a strike at his gut.

Though the initial clash whiffed on both sides, an opening had been made. Taking that opportunity, Yip's hand would glow a brilliant white, as she slammed her palm into Rose's 'gut' with a Tera Blast to blast the Valiant away...!

And deciding to use the space made to her advantage, Yip would attempt to fire off a Moon Blast at Rose, hoping that this would be a nice and clean finisher..!

Ettie perks up, as Cian approaches. "Hello! Am Ettie! Ettie ready!" She chirped happily - and gesturing to her Smeargle, she'd add "Is Yip! Yip also ready!"

Indeed, Yip continues bouncing foot to foot, making a couple of eager barks in the Froakie's direction. She was raring to go!

And the fight starts flashily; as Ettie pulls out her Tera Orb, to terastallize Yip, further enhancing the Smeargle's Normal typing!

Once Tera'd, Yip would twirl her tail in her hand, before wielding it like a rifle - firing off a Tera Blast at Ribbit, in the form of a pressurized spray of paint..!

Ow, ow, ow - a flurry of punches would send Yip flying upwards, only to get bounced up again and again with each subsequent strike. It'd take a Teleport for Yip to get a safe distance away - but even then, it was clear she was smarting from the blows she took (and puffed up as well, no doubt from the electricity that was lingering in the air.)

Seeing that there was no reason to stay in her present form though, Yip was quick to Transform - painting herself into a fascimile of Raikiri. And taking a second to flex the muscles of her newfound shape, she'd readily take advantage of the moves offered; attempting to regain a bit of pep by charging forth with a Drain Punch..!

The Electro Ball definitely ain't fun to be struck by - Yip yelping as she is zapped by it! She stumbles for a second, and has to smooth out her puffed-up and scorched fur...

... Only to notice that Tofu is already beelining for her!

Acting mostly on reflex, Yip makes the split-second decision to Copycat the move. And speeding forward, Yip attempts to clash against Tofu's Trailblaze with a Trailblaze of her own!

Yip happily nuzzled into Ollie's hand, clearly appreciative of the attention.

And Ettie, perking up as Tofu is introduced, would smile and wave. "Hi, Tofu-Friend!" Tofu was pretty cute - and Tofu was fun to say. Tofutofutofu... But, more important right now, was the fight about to begin! Grabbing her Tera Orb, Ettie would activate it...

... And in its blinding light, Yip would take on the Ghost type - fur tinted an off-grey purple.

With the Electro Ball sent flying her direction, Yip would attempt to take the heads-on approach; wielding her tail like a rifle, she'd let out a Tera Blast in the form of a pressurized spray of paint, to try and clash it against the fast-approaching electric attack!

Though Raikiri was fast, leaping into the air like this meant that he had to commit to an arc - and Yip was quick to catch onto it. Bouncing to the side and adjusting her aim, she'd fire upwards at the Zeraora - her Tera Blasts appearing to take the form of sprays of pressurized paint, white from the Normal Tera!

And whilst Raikiri was doused, Yip would begin to - well - yip in mischievous yet playful laughter, bouncing about the battlefield for a moment, before she'd attempt to hose Raikiri down with another Tera Blast!

Ettie perked up at seeing Ollie - and smiling bright, she'd wave back with energy aplenty. "Hello Ollie-Friend! Am Ettie!" She'd introduce herself - and pointing to Yip, she'd add "Is Yip, packmate!"

Yip's tail wagged with similar friendliness as she looked Tofu up and down; something about him seemed interesting, although she couldn't quite put her paw on what yet. Either way, she'd have to wait and see on whether or not she wanted to go straight for a Transform or not...

Ettie would cock her head though as she glanced to Tofu - and pointing to him, she'd ask "Has name?" Some pokemon did, some pokemon didn't - so she figured it was worth checking!

Once more, the duo clashed - blade against blade. However, rather than just make this a direct contest, it seemed that Yip had a trick up her sleeve to try and tip this in her favor. Kicking a leg out, she'd make to trip Rose up - and taking the advantage offered, would slice at her!

Attempting to press it further though, she would follow up with a second Spirit Break - though there was the hope that she was not pressing her luck too hard...

As Onyx got sprayed with paint, Yip would blink for a second - before being unable to help a brief snicker, clearly taking a bit of amusement in the other trainer's misfortune. Ettie, too, would giggle softly - though she tried to be a bit more subtle about it.

However, soon Yip was struck with misfortune of her own as Lucan was suddenly much closer than expected, and grabbing at her! Though the Smeargle squirmed, she'd find herself thrown harshly into the ground, drawing a yelp from her.

The Smeargle would make a faintly disgruntled sound as she got up and dusted herself off - and she was more than ready to try and return the favor. As with a use of Copycat, she'd try to charge at Lucan and Vital Throw him right back..!
