Purrloin was so easily defeated, much to the surprise of it's trainer. Panicked, Rowan was preparing to run away, making sure to first ask his teammates. The situation was dire, it was already down to Dwebble versus Kira in a solo match favored against Kira. He saw the odds were low, so he made his decision. He had to get away before Charley could get a chance to swipe their Pokemon. He was the only one prepared to run, though.

Charley was sure this was the end. That was, until Kira threw the pokeball into the air. Charley was speechless for a second, did the cat just throw HIS Pokeball? That was the last straw, they were really getting on his nerves. He's been Scratched, Leered twice, and stolen from. How could these trainers possibly think they were any better than him? No time to speak, he had to catch that ball. He ran as fast as he could, this was important to him.

Dwebble on the other hand, was going for the kill. With cold eyes it skittered towards Kira. With deadly accuracy, it struck at it's final opponent. However, no one could have expected what happened next.

Despite Yasha being down his only Pokemon, he still wasn't done here. With quick action, he ran in front of Kira, arms crossed in anticipation of impact. Dwebble was too committed to the attack, claws striking the flesh of the intervening Yasha. Blood splashed from the wound, trailing down his elbows, pooling down into the cracks below him. Dwebble's claws glowed even brighter from the attack, reaching full power.

There was a brief silence as Dwebble had to comprehend what just happened. This left a golden opportunity for Kira to jump around Yasha and use Scratch. Catching Dwebble off guard, she hit deep into it's side.

-Critical Hit-

This caused Dwebble to stumble back, claws embedding into the wood of the bridge to stop it's momentum. It was a lucky break it's Fury Cutter was at full power, or it would have failed to dig in deep enough. What wasn't lucky was that this bug still was able to battle, despite looking hurt. One more push will end up sending it over, an all too true realization for Charley.

With a speech, Yasha continued to lecture Charlie, who stopped running to stare at him. The Pokeball went flying over the edge, quickly forgotten by Charlie. He knew this guy was trouble, yet he felt respect instead. Charley was covered in bruises and torn clothing, while Yasha was bleeding.

He stared at Yasha and said, [color=f26522]"You really are something. You just took a hit instead of letting this end. You are the single reason I haven't walked off with your money yet. So who are you, a rival group? I guess now's not the time. Finish that Pokemon with Fury Cutter, I'll take care of the trainer myself."[/color] He pointed at Yasha, these trainers were nuts. Usually the trainers sat to the side while he beat their Pokemon down. With fists raised, he ran towards Yasha. All he had to do was make sure Yasha didn't get in the way again.

Dwebble felt pity for hitting a trainer, but he didn't aim for Yasha. Either way, he was told to finish this battle. Claws glowing with the intensity of the sun, he charged for Kira. Perhaps the battle was turning with Yasha jumping in the way, or was it delaying the inevitable?

-Dwebble Used Fury Cutter-
