olivia offered her own smile, a sly smirk, as she said, "very well, finish it." so they would. encouraged by the psychic type, her mamoswine bulldozed forward and blocked the leaf storm with his original iced tusk and continued its rapid charge at the sceptile with its huge tusk once again frosting over with icy energy. meanwhile, meaara made use of last resort, her body becoming surrounded by a golden light before she slingshotted towards the jolteon like a shooting star. the attack was one of extreme power and took patience to wield correctly. "anger can lead one to be rash, so it is best to stay calm, like the sea or the eye of a storm." olivia noted as her pokemon gave it their all.

calypso had been ready this time around for the fanta lizard. she used the twirling rings of water around her to absorb the attack as she hurled herself at the dragon. the healing water was dispelled with a zap of steam, a blue rat jumping forth from the cover to play rough with the dragon. "for it is only with patience and observation can one ready themselves for retaliation." olivia commented, pleased with her pokemon's strategy.

the sun had barely set as olivia made her way across the crater city, her city. she needed to meet with freya. were all on the council so doubtful of her intellect? did they not realize her a doctor of academia? olivia hurried her walk through the near-empty streets, most people readying themselves for nighttime activities at home. although, a few strays waved at their leader and the vaporeon that followed - a common sight lately - and olivia gave them an obligatory smile before excusing herself. an important meeting, she claimed. olivia had chosen this time of day to avoid the populace, not wanting a crowd should there be a scene. gods only know what the media would do with a story like that.

her march came to a slow as olivia approached the infamous morningstar estate. it was as if a cold war had descended upon sootopolis, and it was here that olivia felt it the most. she had been avoiding a direct confrontation thus far, but she could only allow so much before she must make a move. meara paced beside olivia as the pair stood before the entrance of the place. "morningstar." olivia stated as if her voice alone could force the doors down.

A light-hearted laugh left her lips as he called her 'queenie'. "I am no Queen, it is just a title, but were I; would that not make you a prince?" She asked with a playful wink. "First, prince charming, let us see your aptitude in battle so we have a base to start with." She reached for a miniature pokeball and enlarged it with a tap of her finger before releasing a round blue rat. "Calypso, this is Elias, we will be training with him today, and the foreseeable future." Olivia explained to the pair before her. Her Marill shrugged and stared at Elias with her beady black eyes. She could take him. She could fight this small human male he was nothing compared to her HUGE POWER.

While the Marill flexed her chubby limbs, Olivia chuckled and called out to Elias, "Go ahead and let your pokemon out, you may make the first move."

Olivia took his hand eagerly, "Thank you." Her voice was sweet from gratitude as she rose. "I would appreciate a shoulder to lean on while we walk." Olivia's pokemon sprinted to her side, eyeing the stranger. She whistled and they hid behind her shaking legs. She offered him a half smile, "Apologies, but they're still on edge considering what just happened."

Ocean eyes stared into the distance where her attackers had fled. "I didn't expect an attack as soon as I arrived." Olivia admitted to herself quietly, before she turned those same blue beauties towards Balder. "My manners seem to have fled with those fiends, again, do forgive me." She stood as elegantly as one could when relying on another for support as she introduced herself. "I am Olivia Abbiati, the new Gym Leader of Sootopolis. Who do I have the pleasure - and gratitude for helping me - of knowing?"

pesky. that would be the best word to describe the alakazam and the dog, but, sacrifices would need to be made. her original plan disrupted, the omanyte was forced to return to his pokeball. her mamoswine, on the other hand, was on his last leg, literally. the leaf storm forced him to the ground, but his bolstered stamina allowed him to survive, even if he was on the brink of exhaustion. the jolt of thunder from above struck his body and did nothing, giving meara time to use a quick attack and appear in a blur next to her ally, calypso.

all of this took place in mere seconds, and there was little time for mistakes. her mamoswine, however, wasn't going to go down easily; or at least try not to. his massive tusks began to glisten as they froze over as he attempted to gouge the sceptile with ice fang. "rage is not something to be encouraged, lest it be your downfall." olivia noted calmly.

calypso felt encouraged seeing her queen nearby, and with the aqua ring still spinning, the pitiful shock of static didn't even cause her to bat an eye.

olivia smiled. he was learning. the teleport admittedly took her by surprise, yet she had an idea. "crafty, well done!" she shouted before yelling at her empowered omanyte, "concave!". the pokemon was quicker than the dog, and with a motion of his tentacle on the ground, created a concave amphitheater facing towards the arcanine: causing rocks to burst forth and cause the roar to echo back from to its source, the fire mutt.

her other pokemon did not need such direct orders. meara simply melted into the water that was pooling around them all as the downpour from above continued, easily dodging her fellow eeveevolution's attack. mamoswine, on the other hand, braced himself for the draining rays as they latched onto his body. he then, with his bolsterd strength and speed, released a point blank blizzard of snow and ice at those that surrounded him. it began to freeze the droplets in the air, and the same chilly energy was creeping off his body and up the mega drain's own ribbons of energy.

marill could only watch as her body refused to move, the rage growing inside her. at least the ugly orange flying thing was hurting, she thought to herself as the rings of water continued to spin about her, healing her injuries. a tingle in her toes gave the blue ball some hope.
