[color=#9900cc] [h3][center]Mara Scelus[/center][/h3][/color] [@Pikmin Eye] [@hatakekuro] [@PlatinumSkink] [color=#FFFACD]'M-Mara. You won't win.'[/color] He stuttered. [color=#FFFACD]'Return Kira to his Pokéball, and let's run.'[/color] Mara shook her head. [color=9900cc]"We're finishing what we started."[/color] Kira, Yanma, and Purrloin had already given it everything they had. It didn't make sense for them to not do the same. They owed their pokemon the same protection and loyalty that they were given. It didn't make sense otherwise. Kira chucked the ball into the river, causing Charley to have a bit of a fit. The dwebble began to attack her precious espurr, only to be blocked by.... [color=9900cc]"Yasha!"[/color] Mara screamed, her eyes wide. She started to run forward, taking in the blood that was rolling down his arms. She hardly even noticed Kira's attack hit the dwebble, nor did she care. It was...it was [i]her[/i] fault that Yasha was hurt. This wasn't some sort of mental exercise, some sort of fantasy "what if?" battle. This was real. Her friend was hurt. [i]And it was all her fault...[/i] Mara's blood chilled. [color=6ecff6]"When push comes to shove, you'll push everyone else aside and run like the coward you are. Ya wouldn't even stick your neck out for your own pokemon would you? If ya want to steal our pokemon then ya gotta get through me first. I'll wrangle y'all like a livid Tauros!"[/color] [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] The dwebble charged at Kira, its claws glowing. It had already taken a decent hit from Kira's scratch. Mara took in a deep breath, thinking on her feet with resolve. [color=9900cc]"Kira use....Kira?![/color] The little espurr was glaring. The dwebble had attacked his trainer's [i]friend.[/i] After they tried to [i]help[/i] him. Completely furious and outraged, Kira charged back at the dwebble, his large, demonic like eyes unblinking. Perhaps it would have unnerved the dwebble. It certainly would have done a number on Dogwood. [color=#d966ff]”Es....PURR!"[/color] Kira practically roared, as he used scratch on the dwebble, ignoring the incoming attack. If this succeeded and took down the dwebble, Mara would then go to help Yasha beat up the thug. It was all she could do to make things right.
