Well that was a bust but it only lit the fire inside of kazimir even more and he was not going to let something like the entire ocean snuff it out. No instead he was going to try even harder and urged his mantine buddy to do the same as they rode the waves and jumped back into the air. "alright, let's do this!" he cried out as the two of them twisted their bodies in order to perform a primarina twist, a move that was more complicated than the last one they were trying to perform. Yet kaz held out hope that they could actually land this one. they just had to!

his luck was getting better it seemed even if it was just the baby steps to this whole treasure hunt. first a pokeball and now a form change? what are the odds? probably really crazy and even crazier if he tried to go hunt for something even more precious and valuable. and it that was why he decided to dive back into the waters and try to hunt for more treasure. after all this was actually kind of fun and as long as he got a decent big haul then it was probably something he could get skyler dross to let him do by hoping onto her boat sometimes.

third time was the charm or was that how the saying went right? although there was probably no need to be all poetic about it as there was still plenty of suckers to dunk. so grabbing another ball kaz brought himself to the dunk tank and focused his eyes more on the target than the person sitting up on there awaiting to be dunked. maybe he was getting a little bit competitive about it but there was very little time to think about it as his hand was already letting go of the ball and letting it sail through the air.

It was neck and neck at this point and the clock was ticking. They managed to egde out ahead but they needed that final nail in the coffin and they were all out of hammers. Their foes seemed to have an abundance of them as they came in low and kicking, so they would need to go high and punching then. With a fist cleaned the cat jumped into the air and came down with his fist in a thunder punch that was sure to leave a tingle or shock to them. If not well...getting to round two wasn't so bad.

not everyone got it right the first time so that was pretty alright. even if they flopped the landing of it trying for another lanturn 360 wasn't the worst possible idea. it only was the worst idea if they failed a second time and kaz was determined to not let that happen again. this time they were going to land it and stick that landing one way or another.

"hey hot stuff maybe take a dip to cool down? your kinda burning my eyes over here." kaz said with a sly grin as he aimed at the target and really wound up his arm to the point it looked like it would come right off. maybe he was a little mad at being dethroned so quickly but hey, at least he could say he probably saw some nice looking wet t-shirts at this shindig.

well a pokeball wasn't a bad prize to find at the bottom of the ocean. someone must have lost it at some point so one man's trash was another man's treasure and that sort of thing right? kaz still wished to find some actual treasure though so into the briney deep did he go. maybe this time he'll find two pokeballs.

While it seemed like their attack worked at first it didn't slow down the Crabominable in the slightest as it only came at them with a chilling aura and an even chillier punch aimed right at them. Still there was no time to let something like intimidation get the better of them, that was an incineroar's bread and butter right there! So deciding to meet it head on Tigger charged ahead with his arms outstretched as he spun while running turning himself into a tornado of red and black aiming to strike at them with his signature move, darkest lariat! "show them what we're made of tigger!"

Well it seemed like they were trying to turn their own power against them. probably a smart move that only had one real counter to it but it would only work if they could pull it off. without even a word from kazimir the incineroar was on the same page and watched as the crabominable came right at him and he puffed out his chest as he spewed out a cloud of toxic spray from his mouth right at the approaching yeti crab. sure there was hardly any power in it, it was more of a distraction to try and knock it out of its attack, but it did leave them defenseless if their plan didn't work. guess that would just depend on how capable their opponent were.

"don't hate me if i get a hit! we're all here to have fun after all!" sure he wasn't aware of who half of these people were it was still nice to participate. maybe he would get a chance to sit on the seat and get dunked, but right now he had to prove that he could actually hit someone. so with a wind up on his arm the blonde lit a fire in his eye as he threw the ball as hard as he could right at the target and hoped for the best. he could use a bit of luck today.

"alright lets try for something simple but stylish, c'mon!" kaz called out to his partner as the two of them rode up the wave that was approaching them. he had never gotten a chance to surf some mantine so he was glad that he finally got his butt down to try this before it was too late. he might not be able to show anyone up but he could at least prove to himself that he could still pull off some style. so as they rode the wave they reached the apex of it and jumped off to try and do a lanturn 360 and show what an elite four member was capable of.

diving for clampearl was something that sounded pretty fun. although being late to the party was not so fun as everyone seemed to have gotten a big head start on kazimir. guess there was no time like the present to get a start on things now was it? so with that and in nothing but a pair of goggles and his trunks the blonde jumped off the pier and swam deep down to the ocean floor to try and find something or just about anything he could get his hands on. after all maybe he had the grace of lady luck on his side to try and get something really good, a guy could hope.

"oh my ar-" there was little time to really be in awe at the sight of his buzzwole turned and swung its fist down at the ground and kazimir was right in the middle of its shadow. as the blonde turned away to run he took out a pokeball and summoned a gogoat who didn't even take a second after looking at their situation to hoof it out of the way of the fist coming down at them with kazimir jumping onto its back and clinging to its backside as he did. there was very little moment of reprieve as the gogoat suddenly found its legs on fire as it looked back to see the shadow growlithe aim a shadow fire right at the goat. As the flames struck and signed the grassy skin of the goat it bucked around throwing kazimir off of its back knocking him and a few of his pokeballs onto the ground.

As the blonde struggled to get back onto his feet he saw his growlithe engulf his gogoat in shadow flames as it screamed in pain. "hey! knock it off! both of you!" he yelled out as he grabbed two pokeballs and threw out a slowking and drakloak who rushed to the aide of their teammate who soon slumped against the ground. first the drakloak fired off a dragon pulse up at the giant buzzwole to try and knock it away from everyone before it tried to smash anything else meanwhile the slowking fired off a water pulse at the growlithe to try and douse out the flames it was spreading as well. Their attempts were cut short when the drakloak found itself engulfed in more shadow flames as it fell to the ground and a vulpix jumped on it spreading more of its evil flames.

Kazimir stood in horror as he watched the vulpix he was sure he didn't call out suddenly attack his pokemon, no words were said as he reached down and threw another ball he dropped to unleash a Crabominable at them that came at them with an avalanche. Unfortunately the shadow flames were still too much for the pokemon as the vulpix jumped from the still crisp body of the drakloak and aimed its flames at the Crabominable who screamed as he felt his fur burn away. The Slowking wasn't spared either as the growlithe aimed its flames at it and while it had some resistance to it it was still no match for the evil flames as it too fell as its body was engulfed.

The scene before him was a bit much, the smell of burning flesh was overpowering to the point that kazimir's face turned green as he slowly slinked away that turned into a mad sprint when he heard the two devil pokemon suddenly turn their attention on him and barked like mad as they gave chase after him.
