[h2]Battle: Beatrix Loren Vs Alice Kyte[/h2]

Alice's mouth was dry as her hand hovered over Celia's Pokeball. This girl looked creepy, there was something about her that just made Alice's spine go cold. Alice had seen her Litwick battle and knew that there was no way Celia could take it on in battle. With a deep breath, Alice took a gamble. "Go, Biscuits!" She shouted, tossing the Pokeball to reveal the small, quiet looking Darumaka. The heat would help Biscuits battle, and after a scan with her Pokedex, Alice knew that her Pokemon had a move that would help in a battle with another fire type. The only problem was the two had never battled together and Alice had no idea how it their styles would mix. "Don't worry Biscuits, we can totally take whatever this girl cam throw at us!"

The girl swayed back and forth as she saw the new pokemon on the field, she didn't have that before did she? No she only counted one, but that must mean she had tons of other pokemon just not on her belt? Either way from what she knew about pokemon this was a bad match up, though either one that the girl picked would have been for her little Litwick... If  only Orin would fight for her, but he was once again just watching from the stands. Beatrix threw her sleeve across her, the pokeball within opening to unleash Litwick, which was once again its happy bouncing self, despite nearly fainting in its last match.

The Litwick was strong, Alice had seen it battle and knew that despite its bouncy demeanour, the Pokemon was certainly to be feared in a battle situation. Alice took a deep breath and lowered her goggles, slowing the world around her and doing her best to focus on the battle. Biscuits only had two attacking moves, incinerate and rollout. The main issue was that the Pokemon Litwick had the capabilities of having the ability flash fire, making it immune to other fire attacks. If it had this ability, the only choice they had would be rollout which was easy to avoid. They needed to test the waters without giving Flash too much of a boost if Alice's suspicions were correct. "Biscuits! Use Incinerate but be careful about it!" Alice ordered. She didn't want to unleash a full scale attack just yet, I'm case the opponemt absorbed the attack. Biscuits looked up at Alice, Confused and then at the sun. Alice knew what was running through her pokemon's kind, but didn't get a chance to shout out before Biscuits took a deep breath and fired out a torrent of flames, boosted by the heat of the sun, despite Alice's instructions.

Suddenly Litwick was set aflame! Beatrix was taken back to say the very least, what were they doing, boosting their enemy?! However, this rolled right into her little plan that she had planned on doing much later in the match. [b][color=bc8dbf]"Ever see a fire pokemon use a water attack?"[/color][/b] Within a split second her confused face transformed into a evil grin as the flame atop Flashes head burst into a inferno from becoming powered up by the powerful incinerate attack from before! [b][color=bc8dbf]"Flash, fire spin the water!"[/color][/b] With that a stream of flame flew from the litwicks head and towards the water on the side of the arena, slamming into it from the side and causing a powerful jet of steam to fly onto the Darumaka's half of the feild.

Using the water, similar to what Alice had done in her last battle. Alice should have expected something like that, but she was still reeling from Biscuit's refusal to obey her command. Her mind races, looking around her for an answer but before she could come up with anything, the torrent of water slammed into Biscuits, sending him flying
"come on buddy! You gotta trust me, together we got this!" Alice shouted out as her Pokemom pulled itself to its feet "Now, use rollout, aim there!" She commanded quickly. She pointed to a nearby rock, positioned so it would be hard for her opponent to see and curves at such an angle that it should be able to fire Biscuits into the air and hit the floating Pokemon. As a back up, there was a puddle behind the Litwick, created by its own attack. If it managed to dodge her attack, that puddle would cause enough of a splash to hopefully get some damage onto the ghost Pokemon. The Darumaka paused for a moment, looking at the Rock before nodding and rolling rapidly towards the rocky ramp.

Beatrix knew she had a pretty good fighting chance now, with Flash powered up and ready to fight the other fire pokemons defense against fire was pretty much negated, but her confidence blinded her to the other trainers little ploy. [color=a187be][i][b][color=bc8dbf]"Flash Fire Spin! Set it ablaze and then finish it with Astonish!"[/color][/b][/i][/color] The little pokemon did what it was told, sending out a torrent of spinning flames towards the other rolling pokemon, though the flames barely licked it as it rolled away towards its target!

Alice allowed herself a smile as Biscuits rolled out of the way of the fire attack and hurled itself into the air using the boulder as a ramp. Alice's calculations were near perfect and Biscuits collided with his target with great force, landing back on the ground and rolling away. The hit looked strong, but now Alice knew she had to think and she had to do it quickly. There was no way she would be able to use the ramp strategy again, her opponent would expect it, she needed to concoct a new scheme to catch her off guard. To make matters worse, she was locked into the move rollout which meant she was limited in her strategy. She needed to find something else to launch Biscuits and keep her mind clear enough to predict the Litwick's movements. Meanwhile, Biscuits was growing momentum rapidly, become a red blur on the battlefield. All Alice needed to do was figure out a way to use that speed to their advantage.

Sway... Sway.. Sway....

[color=bc8dbf][b]"Hehehehehehe~"[/b][/color]

Beatrix giggled to herself as she started to sway back and forth, her arms hanging loosely as she did so. She had done this in her past fight, when she came up with a devious plan to beat her opponents she always got this excited she just couldn't help it![color=bc8dbf][b] "The pokemon doesn't seem to listen to you all that well girl~"[/b][/color] She spoke as her Litwick got up from the ground, it looking more than a little battered by that attack. [color=bc8dbf][b]"I would have liked to see more of your skill from the last battle, but now it ends~ Flash, use smog to hide yourself, lets see if the little one can handle being poisoned."[/b][/color] With that Flash in acted its mistresses plan, its infiltrate ability pretty much protecting it from its own attack like it had many times before.

Beatrix had hit the nail on the head with that remark. She was right, Biscuits just didn't trust her enough, Alice was cursing herself for picking him over Celia, Biscuits just wasn't on the same wave-length as her new trainer yet. But, just because things were hard, didn't mean Alice was going to give up on Biscuits. The smog was thick and Alice couldn't see Biscuits, but she knew he wouldn't last long in the smoke. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, focusing. If she listened hard enough, she could just about hear Biscuits in the smoke.
"Biscuits! Listen, just trust me, we can still pull this back! Flash is somewhere to... Your left!" She shouted into the smoke. There was a soft skidding sound as the rolling Darumaka changed trajectory and dashed towards where Alice thought the Litwick was hiding. If this hit landed, they might be able to pull the fight back, but it was going to take a miracle. 

Gritting her teeth together Beatrix was glaring towards the girl, not because of her order as the Darumaka missed Flash within the haze of poison smoke, but because everyone she had come against seemed not to take her seriously! First it was the taunting from her first enemy, then Mann with the pokemon that could only use a single attack, and now this?! Did they really think so little of her that they didn't put their best foot forward? Clenching her fist tightly she gestured out as soon as the Darumaka started to come to a stop [color=bc8dbf][b]"Now Flash, finish this. Astonish!"[/b][/color] With that Flash intended to finish the fight!

With Flash still standing, Alice knew her last attack had missed. Biscuits was done for, Alice had no ideas. Her arms drooped as she suddenly lost the will to fight. This astonish would almost certainly knock out Biscuits when it hit. Hit. Astonish. Suddenly Alice looked up, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Astonish was a physical attack, which meant the Litwick was going to have to get close to Biscuits in order to finish him. The battle was almost certainly lost, unless... "Hey. Beatrix." Alice chuckled softly to herself. It was a crazy plan, but it might just work "Ever see a fire pokemon use a water attack? Biscuits! Use incinerate on the water! Copy what Flash did!" Alice saw a burst of fire fly out of the arena and hit the still water, causing a wave to fly out of the surrounding water and spray onto the field. If the wave hit before Flash did, it could be enough to knock out the enemy Pokemon, but if it didn't then the fight would be over.

Beatrix menacing grin turned wild as the new and unexpected move was brought out, sure it was coping what she had done at the start but it was something! Everything seemed to slow down as the wave started to come down towards the pokemon. Flash had the perfect opening for its attack but just as it was about to make contact the wave covered the pair obscuring what happened from the trainers and the crowd! The wave slammed into the arena, leaving both pokemon outcold while laying next to each other.
