- Round Start -
A fire Pokemon, Fondue noted to herself,
and a plant Pokemon! She could take out both of those all on her own, and then with Persephone's help, well - they wouldn't know what hit them. She loved battling with a type advantage (or a sort of type advantage due to her moves), it was so easy! All the good feelings of winning without growing so tired from the effort of battle that one could hardly appreciate the win. She fought back a grin as she made to move forward before being hit by a stream of airy hearts. Stopped in her tracks, Fondue spun in the direction of the hearts, and then she saw
him. Standing in a pool of light and sparkles was a beast the likes of which she had never before known, every inch of it powerful and glistening, from the perfectly pointed tips of its claws to the sleek black fur that perfectly decorated its form. The Houndour made a beckoning motions with its tail, displaying a smile so brilliant Fondue felt as if she might faint. She swayed momentarily, but with a great force of will, tore her eyes away from the beauty. This was a battle! They could talk afterward. Yes, that's exactly what she would do - for some value of "talk", anyway... Fondue had to spend some more of her willpower to pull herself back to reality from the oh-so-tempting images that danced through her head. She would spend this battle showing him how tough she was in her own right, and then he would have to notice her... although, possibly he already had, that smile - no. It could only help to impress him. Closing her eyes as she turned back in his direction so that she wouldn't instead run toward him, Fondue took a deep breath and shot out a spray of water that made her ears ring from the roaring of it. That would show him how tough she could - oh, no. Oh
no. Her beautiful Houndour was laying sprawled on the ground, and he let out a choke of pain as his partner - a wide-eyed Hoppip - padded over to prod gently at his side. What had she
done?
"Oh, stop it," Plum Seed grumbled at Professor Plum, pushing on him with one front paw. "Get up, you big lump, it couldn't have hurt
that much."
"Oh, I know," Professor Plum said quietly, flashing her a toothy grin before letting out an over-the-top cry of pain so obviously false it was a wonder the Wartortle didn't realize it, too. "But
she doesn't."
Plum Seed rolled her eyes, not bothering with any of a series of retorts that sprung to mind - that silly, arrogant Pokemon would only say that she was jealous. Jealous of a Pokemon who could only get fake admirers? Jealous of a false attraction? As if! Patiently she listened to Professor Plum alternately moan and brag (the latter quietly so that the Wartortle couldn't hear, which Plum Seed found unfair), her eyes trained on the Chansey, Persephone. Slowly Persephone started a kind of hoppy dance that looked completely ridiculous performed by something so
round - or maybe it would look ridiculous no matter the performer, with all that jumping and skipping - and the instant Persephone became still, Plum Seed felt first a pawful of raindrops on her leaves, and then quickly a full-blown drizzle that left her with a kind of irritating buzzing in her ears. Professor Plum mumbled something about rain being a great backdrop to his pain, but Plum Seed tuned him out, focusing on her own, more elegant spinning dance. She sent her hopes to the sun as she turned in place, and just as quickly as the rain had started, it was over. The sun brightened, chasing away the rainclouds with its warm light. Plum Seed couldn't help smiling up at it. Sunlight always felt extra-good after a bit of rain - even if her partner was now complaining about it - and she felt quick and full of life with the heat of it.
Poor Plum Seed just didn't understand the world of love. Or rather, the world of acting-love, or play-love, which Prefessor found much more enticing than real-love. It was so much more interesting flirting and playing, rather than being stuck with the same partner forever. He never played with intent to hurt anyone, of course! Unless it was a battle. Which this was, and that was why he felt only a twinge of sympathy as he watched from his vantage point on the ground as his Hoppip friend swiftly struck the tips of her leaves together, where a ball of powerful light came sparkling into existence. She swung the leaves forward and the light sphere flew straight at the Wartortle he'd been set to target. Actually, she was rather pretty, in a way... Perhaps he'd see fit to apologize after this battle, make amends... Professor Plum casually angled himself in front of Plum Seed, watching Wartortle shriek in surprise as she tumbled backward from the Solarbeam. Now it was his turn! Professor Plum grinned up at Persephone. "Nice dance!" he called sarcastically across the alleyway, enjoying the look on the Chansey's face as it turned to stare at him in confusion. "I liked the part where you stumbled." No such thing had happened, but it didn't matter to Persephone, whose ears flared as a dark look crossed her face. "Are you planning to do any more dancing? Please do! I need a good laugh!" He chuckled to himself as his taunting did what he had intended - no more of those silly dances. It was sort of too bad, as well, since rain was very dramatic... But better for this battle that there be sunshine, so that Plum Seed could take care of Fondue without Professor Plum himself getting his paws dirty. For now.
That Houndour! Persephone growled in her head, possessed with a rage she hadn't known she could feel. How dare any Pokemon insult her dancing like that, when she had tried so hard! What was she supposed to do if her very best still wasn't good enough! Some faintly rational part of her insisted that this was just some random Houndour she'd never see again, but all the same, she felt an intense desire to do something very violent. She looked hopefully to Fondue for ideas, but the poor thing was just staring at Houndour - Persephone repressed thoughts like
traitor! - too infatuated to make a move. Well, fine! She knew what to do in that case. A Rain - ugh, just the thought of dancing made her mad! Persephone could practically feel the steam coming off of her in clouds, she was so mad. Chanseys were not supposed to get mad! This was all wrong! She tried to calm herself and again looked to Fondue, but still to no avail. The Wartortle who was supposed to be helping her was instead staring glassy-eyed at the bedraggled mutt across the field. Well, fine. She'd figure it out on her own. Persephone sat herself down and tried futilely to cross her arms to show everyone just how mad she was.
Fondue felt a rush of relief as she saw her Houndour getting back to his feet - he was alright! Thank
goodness. Somewhere in her mind she knew that he would have been recalled and healed, but she just couldn't have lived with herself if she had been the one to knock him out. There was no way she could've stood a chance with him after - a powerful blow to her stomach interrupted her thought process as she went flying backward through the air again, skidding to a stop in the dirt. Who - that Hoppip! But before she could even get up again, she was flying in the opposite direction, slammed from behind by some mysterious force. She glanced wildly around, but it had already gone. Then her eyes fell on the Houndour sliding quietly into place next to the Hoppip, and she forgot all about the pain, her gaze softening. She could deal with it if he was here!
