"kyle faber, kyle faber, kyle faber," noah inscribes the name's shape with his tongue, rolls it around his palate like a marble, "uhhh, maybe!"[break][break]

with glowing claws, the toxicroak chases after the skidding poochyena. the frog does not perceive the glint, for it is obscured by the bright violets of its own poison.[break][break]

a POISON JAB daggers toward the pup.[break][break]

"i've got a brother who can carry on the faber name anyway!"

the QUICK ATTACK, as expected, lands with stunning speed. noah's toxicroak is unable to react in time, its sac ballooning in shock as it stumbles backwards.[break][break]

"your sylveon's ribbons didn't even slow it down." noah raises his tera orb. streams of crystal light swirl from their surroundings, collecting within its tamarind capsule. "i gotta bring my a-game then!"[break][break]

he tosses the orb toward his toxicroak. with a stunning shimmer, the pokemon crystallizes. a DARK TERA TYPE crown graces its head as it hisses with resplendence.[break][break]

"i know dark's weak to fairy," noah says, "but i want you to limit test me, alright? don't let me down lutgarde!"[break][break]

his toxicroak chases after the sylveon, clawed hands thrust forth for a POISON JAB.

the tongue whips out of cian's froakie, painting a damp strip across the toxicroak's DRY SKIN. immediately, PARALYSIS settles in the amphibian's limbs.[break][break]

"you're gonna suck me dry, man." he jests. "kama, MUD BOMB!"[break][break]

unable to use its body effectively, noah's toxicroak spews muck from its bright lips. the whole arena is coated in mire—and the froakie too, should it be hit.

noah's great eyes mirror howard's, his jaw craning up with each pulse of his toxicroak's size expansion. [break][break]

"maybe i've overdone it." the gym leader admits under his breath. [break][break]

to see a LARVITAR dwarfed further, against its own will no less, is equal parts pitiful and exciting.[break][break]

yet, noah does not dare underestimate howard's pokemon, especially as it CRUNCHES his frog's toe.[break][break]

"MAX QUAKE!" noah shouts—and so, the world shakes.

flames are cleaved by horn, then further gashed into scarlet violets past HITMONLEE'S WIDE GUARD. nevertheless, the heat is unbearable. noah is unsure whether the dew on his collar is from melted ice or sweat.[break][break]

imagined iron careen onto the snow. their adamantine physiques deceive others of their agility—and the way their laser-blades lash out like kecleon tongues.[break][break]

noah sees Eko Darling's pidgeot overhead. he takes it as sign that she and Victor Haas are safe somewhere in the snow.

"first place, shmirsht place—i'm just here for some practice!" noah waves back before he stretches his arms. [break][break]

his toxicroak does the same, its lithe limbs sharply postured like its intimidating crest. a diamond of magenta light flashes across his dynamax band.[break][break]

"show me what you and raikiri's got!" noah says.

like fireworks, battles roar colorfully above lilycove's streets. yet, noah finds himself greeting the gothic palettes of lutgarde and their sylveon.[break][break]

the gym leader is quick to notice the impressive dye job as his toxicroak fights the urge to drip its own venomous ink.[break][break]

"hey! noah here. my 'croak's name is kama." the gym leader says, tossing a tera orb up and down. "sick dye. sick dress. i appreciate good drip, but that doesn't mean i'm gonna go easy on ya!"[break][break]

his toxicroak assumes position, its sac flaring in anticipation.

noah is unaccostumed to this new martial soundscape. metal clanging. galvanic buzzing. arpeggiated notes roboticized to the tune of a computer's imaginings of what is and what should be a battle. [break][break]

to the gym leader, the physicality of fists striking muscle. the acoustic drumming of body-to-body is missed.[break][break]

he worries paradox pokemon spell future disasters—but he dare not betray such feelings to the iron hands nor finnegan.[break][break]

"your pokemon takes after its owner!" noah says. "you swordsmen are insaaaane."[break][break]

his iron hands stumbles from the gash. residual purple energy smolders on the pokemon's chest plate. as it swings its detached hands around, a WHIRLWIND is conjured to hopefully lift the IRON VALIANT up into the air.

within that flashgun of emerald, noah is quick to receive and return the physicality of ollie's greeting. lilycove sunshine peeks past the occasional storm cloud to gild their encounter.[break][break]

but ollie's presence is overwhelmingly bright enough as it is.[break][break]

"all's good, my guy." noah says, eyeing the ranger's pastry. "churro looks good. i just had a hot coffee with whipped cream at the bottom. don't know how i feel about that."[break][break]

his toxicroak peeks out from behind the gym leader and ribbits.

the DRAGON HAMMER slams into the toxicroak's body. though the poochyena is small, the channeled draconic spirit is enough to launch the amphibian back several feet.[break][break]

"kyle faber?" noah pulls out his tera orb, gusts wreathing around his arm as brilliance converges upon its shape. "kinda choppy, right? doesn't have a good ring to it."[break][break]

unknowingly, noah affirms kyle's own opinion.[break][break]

the toxicroak hisses. crowned by the dark tera type jewel, it lunges with vengeful arc with a PURSUIT to close the gap.

winds billow around the gym leader's arm. while the froakie disperses into several clones, noah's TOXICROAK bursts into a crystalline sheen.[break][break]

its dark tera type jewel smiles and mirrors the frog's own conniving grin.[break][break]

"cut every single one down!"[break][break]

the toxicroak PURSUITS, leaping from clone to clone in ruthless search of the real froakie.
