Surprise me [W]

Rositora ears picked up on some type of noise while his nose found a fairly sweet perfume. The identity for the sound was still unknown to him as well as the scent. This might have been the first time he heard or smell something like this. In an area like this, he had all rights to be cautious. Surely he did a good job on masking his concerns. He kept himself calm and collective; he had no plans on showing any sort of weakness. Steadily, he strides to the last location he heard this sound although he notice the scent was getting stronger the closer he was. To his surprise, the noise was a Pokémon! A blue spider thing? Whatever it was, Rositora was ready. This appearance of the Pokémon might not have been its selling point nonetheless Rositora knows better. He sets the wooden bokken vertical then presses the tip of his bokken against the ground in front of him. Resting both hands on top of the hilt, Rositora slants his head with a confident smile. One of the life lessons his adopted father taught him was that ‘One should never underestimate his foe’. In this case, he had no plans on holding back or showing off against this thing.

Certainly the Surskit was minding her own business by playing and dancing at a small pool of water. She had done nothing wrong other that releasing her aroma around the area. That idea may not have been the best due to the situation she was about to get herself in. She heard the random feet steps closing in on her. She trembles in fear to the sound alone; what if it was a powerful Pokémon? Or a fast one? It seems she was frightened for nothing at all; it was only a Human and a flowing sword. Judging the Human’s actions, it was safe to say they wanted to battle her if not bother her. Might as well she pushes them back and show them that this place wasn’t an entertainment estate. She rather not allows a stranger to observe her awkwardly. She shifts into her own battle stances while narrowing her eyes upon the two. Rositora took note of that action and instantly assumed she wanted to battle them as well.

“Alright. Edge, let’s get this over with. Swords dance and slash, on the double.”

The Honedge moves forward and in front of Rositora as if this was an official battle. It gave off a red aura momentarily as it begins to twist and unsheathe itself. Once ready, it charges towards the Surskit; its attack movements were like a fellow wielding a blade. It slashes at the Pokémon with precision and swiftness. The boy expected this attack to land HOWEVER the Surskit used Ouick Attack in a more defensive manner. Instead of attacking the Pokémon head on, it zipped away from each the slashes. Surskit used this to create some ground between her and the two. The sweet aroma suddenly amplifies to the point Rositora was losing his focus! But this undoubtedly failed against Honedge since it easily ignored it. The tactics she had in mind was simple, if the trainer can’t order the Pokémon correctly; she’ll be able to finish them off. Rositora on the other hand wasn’t a push over; he knew what he had to do. He was in a battle with an intelligent Surskit that more or less has extra combat experience than him. From what he was able to evaluate from this situation, he needs more speed than power.

“Edge. I want you to use Autotomize and Swords dance…”, he mutters due to the scent’s effect on him but it was loud enough for the Honedge to hear.

It discarded its Scabbard as it’s briefly produces another Red following by a Blue glare; increasing its speed and attack power! During this process, Surskit took advantage of it. It used Quick Attack once more to smash into the Honedge thus knocking it back a bit then follows that attack up with a bubble beam from blank point. Every single bubble that made contact instantly detonates with an enormous force. This was enough to blow the Honedge back towards its trainer and away from her. Due to the steel nature of Rositora’s Pokémon, the quick attack failed to inflict as much damage as the Surskit wanted however the bubble beam did a number on his Honedge. It might not be enough to knock his Pokémon out but she did a respectable amount of damage.

“Autotomize...Slash…Try to outplay it…”

Rositora wanted to guarantee the undeviating and immense blow but then again he questions the Pokémon’s condition. He had to debates with himself just to ensure his battle decisions weren’t too reckless; attacking now might have been the best bet. Honedge discard a part of its guard and produce another temporary blue glow hence increasing his speed once more. The Pokémon’s attack power and speed were almost maxed out. If he decided to use both once again, this would have just been overkill yet it would have ensured them the victory. Now, they do have a better chance against this fast Pokémon. With the swiftness, Edge races towards her nevertheless like before, she used Quick attack to evade them before they could have even attacked. That might not be as easy as she thought. The Honedge effortlessly pursuits hastily even though she thought she was still faster. She tries to counter the Honedge attack with her own Bubble beam. Before that attack was even launched, the Honedge swings with a force, striking the Surskit in a down slash into an uppercut style. This slash attack sends her flying—the force and power of the assault could be enough to knock it out—Or maybe not. On its way down, Rositora flicks a Poke ball at it! He attempts to catch the Pokémon since it was able to show how skilled it can be in a battle. If this was successful then he was would simply move on to the next Pokémon.
Note: Caught the Surskit/Trying to.

Rositora snuffles and scrub his finger against his muzzle. With the newest addition to the team, he had a bit more confidences when it comes to battling wilds! He knows what to expect from them so certainly he plans on keeping his guard up. Because Honegde obtained too much damage, he returned the Pokémon back into its ball. Depending on the next Pokémon they’ll face, he might retreat and visit another day. Rositora strides through the cave, he made sure that he memorize the where he was going and ensure that he did not stray too far away from the exit.

In the shadows, he saw a pair of bright eyes staring through his soul in a sinister manner. Was he afraid? Maybe however cautious? A lot more than he wants to be; gradually, he stretches back into his bag. He stood still, his alert eyes locks with the floating pair of eye as if he they were in a staring competition. Once he successful mined the Poke ball, he taps the button and prepares for battle. The creature that the pair of eyes belongs to notice what he was trying to do; the eyes proceeds to glow; they fired a colorful ray towards Rositora without warning. Rositora couldn’t identify what move that might have been but he will definitely not allow such a thing to hit. He pushed himself to the side and away from the ray. The push caused him to lose his footing and rolled uncontrollably until he recuperates his firm stance.

“Alright…Show time...”

He flicks the ball upwards as his Torchic was unleashed and ready for combat. Rositora had no clue what engaged him but his targets were the eyes. “I want you to use Focus energy and flame tower towards the pair of eyes. Try to light this place up.”, he instructed. Torchic concentrates her energy throughout her body carefully. Moments after, she breathes out a stream of flames at the given target. The eyes quickly evade the infernos by hovering above and away from the attack. Rositora utilizes the light from the fire technique to see what exactly he was battling against. “Is that a ghost? That explains so much…”. The ghost Pokémon seems impressed with the Trainer’s battle choices. It lays its eyes onto the Torchic afore releasing another colorful ray following up soon after by a beam filled with psychic energy.

“Dodge that ray; use Mirror Move to counter and Flame tower again!”.

Rositora recognized the sort of influence a ghost type has. His partner Edge is also part ghost and he knows that Pokémon could be dangerous at times. Torchic hurried away from the gleam and took shelter behind of a rock. She peeks up to see another beam heading in the direction she was currently at. At the last minute, she used mirror move as instructed to counter the attack therefore avoiding damage. Due to the close call, the two beams exploded upon contact and submerge her in smoke. From the Ghost Pokémon’s point of view, it seems as if she took the attack head on. Torchic discharged another stream of flames through the smoke that caught the Ghost Pokémon by surprise. The attack connected successful and burnt the Ghost Pokémon as well! The Pokémon was pushed into the walls by the blazing attack! Play time was over; the Pokémon appears to be furious after that attack. It wasted no time on recovery; The Ghost swiftly releases another psychic filled beam towards the Torchic. Trailing behind that beam was a small fading ball; something that might have been easily overlooked.

“Dodge them! Mirror Move and Flame tower again!”.

Torchic tried to evade the beam however the Ghost Pokémon made sure the trace her no matter where she ran off to. At the end of the cat and mouse game, Torchic was forced to take the attacks. Both hits caused an explosion upon impact. This time, the Ghost Pokémon knew these attacks were successful because of Torchic’s shriek from agony when they smashed into her. The damage was great yet not enough to knock her out. Torchic used the smokes for cover; if she was able to do it once, she can do it again. She imitated the last attack used which was Hex; using the sneak tactics, she attempted to connect the attack. The Ghost Pokémon knew this was coming yet it was still unsure. The fading ball emerges from the debris though she didn’t notice it until it was too late! It hits and detonated with the Pokémon as well! The damage from this attack doubled due to the burned it obtained early in the battle. The effect from focus energy also took a part in it as it was also a critical hit not to mention it was effective against it. The Ghost Pokémon plummets from out of the smoke however it was barely conscious. Torchic was about to use the final Flametower to finish it off until, “Okay, that’s enough. I think it lost its fighting spirit. We can’t resume the battle like that unless we’re going to take its life.”. Rositora flicks an empty Poke ball at it while it was tumbling down; he attempts to catch it and add it to his team! If successful, he moves on to the last Pokémon he may or may not flee from.
