Valerio Dachev

Novak smiled as Pumpkin's attack struck the Dragapult head-on. The Light Screen mitigated some of the damage, but that was no problem. Especially considering that Pumpkin, so far, had not taken a single hit.

"Tricks are Pumpkin's whole thing," he replied to Valerio. He shrugged as he said that the real showdown was about to start. As far as Novak was concerned, it had already started, and he was winning.

Pumpkin needed no instruction. The Light Screen would be a problem, but she decided to strike while the iron was still hot, preparing and launching another Moonblast at the shadowy dragon.

Novak squinted at the Roselia that pushed its way through the bushes. Were those flowers... purple and black?

It took him a second to understand what was going on. A shiny. Of course. They were rare, but he could recognize one when he saw one. The Roselia seemed to be minding its own business.

Before Novak could ponder more about the shiny, Foxglove appeared right behind it and startled it with a Shadow Punch. The Roselia screamed and attempted to flee, but a Mean Look halted it in its tracks. Another series of Shadow Balls knocked it out.

Novak shrugged. He was sure he could find someone who would be interested in the shiny, he thought as he threw a Pokeball at the defeated Roselia.

Novak hung around in the woods of Petalburg.

There was no better word for it. He was loitering. He really wasn't doing anything else, though if he was asked, he'd say that he was getting some fresh air. He supposed that if some Pokemon came by that caught his interest, then he could say that he was observing wildlife. But for now... yep. Loitering.

Foxglove hovered behind Novak, the Haunter's gaseous body floating several feet above the ground. He had his own entertainment. He would often phase through random Pokemon just to scare them, laughing hysterically when they panicked. Oh well. It wasn't harmful, anyways.

Novak nodded as the Dragapult he was facing vanished. Yep, that was a trick rather typical of ghost types. In fact, Pumpkin could imitate it herself. The command was on the tip of his tongue before he reconsidered; maybe Phantom Force would be of more value as a surprise, when his opponent wasn't expecting it. For now, he could capitalize on the opportunity he was given.

"Nice vanishing act," Novak stated dryly. "Pumpkin, give our opponent a warm welcome back when they reappear."

The Gourgeist snickered, pink light enveloping her as she prepared up a Moonblast. The light increased in intensity as Pumpkin waited for the Dragapult to reappear.

It would be so worth it, when she released the attack right in that vanishing scrub's face.

Well, here he was.

Novak did not think he'd find himself out here in an underground Pokemon battling ring, of all things. But someone had pointed out to him that they would be an excellent way to spectate a full-force fight, which was difficult to see most of the time. So he'd come with a mask, as an appropriate precaution to avoid recognition.

What he didn't expect was some rowdy, probably drunk fellow pushing him forward into the ring with an eager yell. Novak stumbled a little, surprised. He hadn't foreseen the possibility of fighting himself, but he supposed that hands-on experience was often the best teacher, and he would be glad to test the limits of his own Pokemon.

Pumpkin, his Gourgeist, floated cheerfully alongside him. Novak didn't know how well she'd do against the opponent's Dragapult. It was a strong specimen, having just won several bouts in a row, so the match surely be hard-fought. But Novak knew that Pumpkin was never to be underestimated, either.

Novak nodded in response to Valerio's gibe. "Well, I didn't expect to fight, honestly. But I'm sure Pumpkin and I will give you a challenge you'll remember." The Gourgeist cackled eerily beside him, sizing up the enemy Dragapult. She waited for no instruction before moving around to the side, launching a volley of Leech Seeds at the dragon and hoping to snare its ghostly form in them.
