(OOC: CRAP! Sorry Flora, you've been waiting two pages because of me! I'll be gone 'til Sunday/Monday by the way.)
Vendetta was surprised by Serenity's question just as he was about to destroy some Grunts. Eager to get on with the pulverisation, he waved her off.
"Yes, go, go."
He turned once more to the three Grunts. He gestured to the two on the sides to step away, leaving the middle one standing.
"Go El Diablo!"
Vendetta's Tauros burst from its Pokéball, tail alight. The Grunt sent out his own Shadow Dustox.
"Dustox use Shadow Wave!"
DUstox beat its wings and sent a ripple of dark wind at El Diablo.
"Dodge and use Shadow Break, El Diablo."
El Diablo jumped swiftly out of the way before headbutting Dustox out of the sky. Unflinchingly, the Grunt sent out a Shadow Glameow.
"Glameow, use Shadow End."
Glameow glowed a darker purple and charged at El Diablo.
"El Diablo, leap in to the air and counter with your own Shadow End."
Just as Glameow was about to hit El Diablo, the Tauros leapt into the air. Doing a deft little flip, it reversed into a Shadow End which crushed Glameow into the ground.
"Very good Vendetta."
Vendetta turned in astonishment. It was one of the Admins who had voted him down. Enigma.
"Sir, what brings you to the Training Room, I would have assumed the Admin Dojo has sufficient equipment and punchbags."
Enigma nodded.
"Well yes, I'm here because of your 'punchbags' as you call them. One complained that you made him fight you 30 times in a row to level up your Absol. One level. So I figured, if you need a fight partner, I could help."
Vendetta bit back a retort.
"Of course Sir. But I may have tired out my Tauros, do you mind if I heal him?"
Enigma shook his head. Vendetta walked over to a machine and healed El Diablo.
Fight Partner indeed! He just wants to humiliate me in front of my troops.
Vendetta returned to Engima.
"6-on-6, Sir?"
Engima thought about it for a minute.
"Seems okay." he said, selecting a Pokéball from his belt. "Go, Machoke!"
The muscular Pokémon appeared from Enigma's ball.
"Go Fangs!"
Vendetta's Golbat hovered a few feet above the Training Room floor.
"Machoke, Shadow Break!"
"Fangs, Shadow Wave!"
Machoke leapt through the air but was knocked back easily by Fangs' Shadow Wave.
"Machoke, Shadow Mist!"
Machoke released a cloud of purple mist which obscured both combatants.
"Fangs, use Shadow Storm!"
The Golbat whipped up a tornado of purple energy which sucked up the Shadow Mist and tossed Machoke into the air. Machoke landed with a thud and a groan.
"Machoke, return!"
Engima selected another ball.
"I choose you, Luxray!"
Enigma's intimidating Pokémon leapt onto the field.
"Shadow Bolt!"
Before Vendetta could react, a bolt of lightning knocked Fangs out of the sky. Vendetta called Fangs back and selected his next Pokémon carefully. No time for the usual routine.
"Go Ravager! Shadow End!"
Vendetta's Gliscor burst out of his ball with amazing speed and sent Engima's Luxray into a far wall. Enigma called Luxray back and sent out his next Pokémon.
"Go, Weavile."
The Shadow Weavile was itching to battle.
"Shadow Chill!"
Weavile sent a blast of icy wind at Ravager. But Ravager was too fast and flew out of the way without even a command from Vendetta.
"Shadow End!"
Ravager knocked Weavile into the exact section of wall as he had Luxray. Engima called Weavile back too. Anger was starting to show on his face.
"Go! Magmortar!"
Magmortar was barely out of the ball when Ravager sent him flying into the wall.
"GO! Rotom!"
The tiny Pokémon flew from his Pokéball.
"Shadow Storm, Rotom."
The Shadow Storm flew from Rotom with vicious power and swatted Ravager aside like a fly.
"Return Ravager! Go, Arget!"
The proud and domineering Sceptile eyed Rotom warily.
"Arget, hold your ground!"
The Sceptile started hopping on its feet to keep nimble.
"Rotom use Shadow Bolt!"
The bolt of lightining headed straight for Arget.
"Dodge and use Shadow Wave Arget!"
Arget dodged and leapt into the air to hit Rotom with the attack but before she could...
"Rotom, use Shadow Storm!"
The blast of air sent Arget flying into the ceiling. Vendetta called her back.
"Go, Claws!"
The Absol leapt at Rotom instantly and blasted him with a Shadow Wave without even an order. However the Rotom simply dodged by hovering to the left.
"Rotom, Shadow Bolt!"
Claws had been to hasty and now Rotom's Bolt was perfectly place into Claws' chest.
"Claws, return!"
Damn that little ball of plasma is powerful...
"Go, El Diablo."
El Diablo landed steadily on the floor. Neither combatant moved, awaiting orders from the Trainers who were both waiting for the other to attack. Vendetta looked up curiously at something on the ceiling. Enigma followed his gaze.
"El Diablo, Shadow End!"
The Tauros charged and would have caught the Rotom totally unawares if Enigma hadn't reacted quickly.
"SHADOW BOLT!"
There was a flash and a bang and both Pokémon were sent flying backwards. Both Trainers called their Pokémon back and selected their final balls.
"Go, Metagross!"
Enigma's colossal Pokémon made the floor shake as it landed.
"Go, Ribbons!"
Vendetta's Chingling floated happily forward, having been beside Vendetta for the duration of the battle. Enigma laughed.
"A CHINGLING?"
Venetta smiled.
"Shadow Storm Ribbons."
Enigma watched in shock as his Metagorss was blown through not only the wall that all his Pokémon had been pumelling but several others. A Grunt, feeling the smart arse, shouted: "And the winner is Vendetta!"
Vendetta fixed Engima a dark smile and Enigma turned and walked out of the room just a little to fast.
