[center][h1][color=ec008c]Alexandria "Alexis" Deva[/color][/h1][/center] [h2][center]VS[/center][/h2] [color=orchid][h1][center]Sophia Danvers[/center][/h1][/color] [@LuckyBlackCat][@Iatos][@AbysmalDemon][@Heckno12] Alexis had had enough of the poser. First she ruins her ribbons, then she drenches her in water! This girl thinks that she's so much better than her!? Alexis would see that it doesn't work out all that well! she grabbed her Eevee's poke ball, and let her out. "[color=ec008c]Tail whip her stupid hat off![/color]" Eevee snickered as it ran up to Sophia. It slapped its fluffy tail across her face, knocking the girl's top hat off. Alexis grinned. Sophia stumbled back as the girl's Eevee smacked her across the face with its tail, knocking her hat off. At the same time, one of her Pokeballs popped open. "Purrrr?" The Dark type looked around, taking in the chaos, and made a noise that sounded suspiciously like a snicker. "Purr-purr-purr-purr-purr." Retrieving her hat and placing it back on her soaked hair, Sophia glared. [color=orchid]"Enough of that! Rub around her boots. Make sure you leave plenty of fur all over them."[/color] She smirked at the thought. Purple hairs would show up nicely against the damp white boots. Purrloin didn't seem to be listening. Instead, she launched herself at Eevee, claws out. Eevee wasn't paying attention when the claws scratched her. She was too busy snickering at her own little joke. However, when she felt the shard sting of claws, Eevee got mad. She growled so fiercely, Alexis' Snorunt jumped down in an attempt to calm her down, and Hoppip popped out of its pokeball, wondering what was going on. As Hoppip splashed around the melted snow and water puddles, Eevee had decided to get revenge by whipping Purrloin with her tail. [color=orchid]"No! Come back, Purrloin!"[/color] Sophia called. Again, Purrloin ignored her and kept scratching at the Eevee, who retaliated. Almost knocked over by the tail whip, the Dark type jumped up, fur standing on end. There was no getting Purrloin to back out. Sophia faced Alexis, folding her arms and sneering, putting on her confident act. [color=orchid]"Heh. How brave of you to challenge me,"[/color] she said as if the two of them had planned this. She turned her attention back to Purrloin. [color=orchid]"Ok, give it your all! Another Scratch!"[/color] The other two Pokeballs burst open. Gothita gazed at the steadily-intensifying battle, while Staryu stood there, limbs drooping in exasperation. "[color=ec008c]What? I didn't-[/color]" That was all she could say before Eevee started kicking sand at the purrloin. It didn't help that Hoppip bounced off of Alexis' head at the same time. "[color=ec008c]Wait, hold on! Don't do that, Hoppip! Eevee! Don't-![/color]" While Alexis and Snorunt attempted to stop Hoppip from splashing all over the place, Eevee snarled as she charged in an attempt to tackle the purrloin. Purrloin took the hit, staggering but leaping back up. With a growl, she rushed and swiped at the Eevee again. Gothita's eyes widened, and Sophia tensed as she watched the impromptu fight. Things weren't looking good for Purrloin. [color=orchid]"Hold on, Purrloin! You can do this!"[/color] She clenched her fists by her sides as she encouraged the Pokemon. Surely the Eevee couldn't take many more attacks. [color=orchid]"Another Scratch!"[/color] "[color=ec008c]Would you all stop for a-[/color]" "EEVEE!!!!" Eevee charged once more with an agonizingly strong tackle. "Purrrr..." The Dark-type gave a weak growl, trying to stand up. Her legs gave out and she slumped to the ground. Sophia ran towards the fainted Pokemon and crouched down. [color=orchid]"Purrloin, I'm going to have a thing or two to say to you later. But I'll admit, you did well,"[/color] she said, her voice suddenly soft. [color=orchid]"Come on, for now."[/color] She returned the Pokemon and straightened up. As she looked at her opponent, her smug expression spread back over her face. [color=orchid]"Don't get cocky just yet! Go, Gothita!"[/color] The Psychic-type ran forward at Sophia's command. [color=orchid]"Confusion!"[/color] Gothita sent an energy blast towards Eevee, throwing her back. "[color=ec008c]Cocky!? I didn't even-[/color]" Eevee, snickering at her victory, was the one that got cocky. She charged up to the Gothita, and began whipping her fluffy tail at her new opponent. Snorunt, tired of Eevee's antics, attempted to run up to her and stop the fight. Sophia hoped her opponent didn't see the nervous glance around she took. That wannabe's Eevee had actually managed to defeat one of her Pokemon, putting her at a disadvantage. If she lost to somebody who hadn't even been trying to win, she'd never hear the end of it. Especially with all these people watching. [color=orchid]"Again, Confusion!"[/color] Sophia shouted. These two Pokemon clearly wanted a fight, even if the wannabe didn't. Staryu was considerably less enthusiastic than Gothita, spinning forward to try to stop her. Gothita simply ran past and flung the Eevee back with another psychic move. Snorunt had attempted to talk them into stopping the fight, but it was to no avail. Instead, Snorunt had been dragged into it. Of course, it wasn't entirely by accident. When Eevee was hit by confusion, she had been thrown right into Snorunt. Eevee was no longer able to battle, but Snorunt was mad. She jumped in and started blasting snow at Gothita, while Alexis was still trying to catch her Hoppip. "[color=ec008c]This. Is not. A Pokemon battle! Why are you knocking my team out?![/color]" Alexis was actually getting angry. She may not have been directing anything as her team's trainer, but that didn't mean that other people saw it differently. This could have been an actual, consensual battle between trainers. This was beginning to make her mad. [color=orchid]"Tell that to our Pokemon,"[/color] Sophia said, attempting to hide her worry with a sneer. [color=orchid]"And need I remind you that you just knocked one of mine out?"[/color] Now it really was too late to quit. Neither Pokemon was willing to stop. As if proving Sophia's point, Gothita brushed the snow off and blasted Confusion at Snorunt, with no command, putting even more force behind the attack. Eevee's attempt to lower her guard seemed to have only strengthened her will to fight. [color=orchid]"Y-You see?"[/color] Sophia forced a smile. This was even more of a mess than she'd thought, but she had to pretend to be in some level of control. "[color=ec008c]"Your pokemon started i-Snorunt!"[/color]" As Snorunt collapsed into unconsciousness, unable to battle, Alexis ran over to her. Snorunt was well, and truly out cold. Alexis hadn't even given a command, and yet her Pokemon had fought. Two of them were even KOed. Oblivious to the situation, Hoppip continued to splash around in the puddles. Sophia turned even paler than usual, her facade cracking. [color=orchid]"Careful there!"[/color] she shouted to Gothita. The attack had indeed been much stronger than the previous ones - instead of getting back up, Snorunt collapsed. Oh, Arceus, no, she thought as she dropped the facade completely and rushed over to Snorunt, remembering what had happened with that other trainer's Beldum the other day. She'd wanted the tables to turn, but not like this, not like this... She spun around at the sound of a cry and a thud, to see the defenseless Hoppip lying on the ground several feet away from its former spot. [color=orchid]"Gothita, no! That Hoppip isn't fighting back!"[/color] she yelled. Gothita seemed to be completely swept up in the heat of the battle. Ignoring her trainer, she sent the Hoppip flying again. [color=orchid]"Stop! Listen to me!"[/color] Sophia pleaded. [color=orchid]"I call this stupid battle off!"[/color] She took a Pokeball from her belt. Gothita whirled round, and the Pokeball flew out of Sophia's hand, landing and rolling across the ground. [color=orchid]"Gothita! What in the name of Arceus are you doing?!"[/color] Putting on an act was now the furthest thing from Sophia's mind. She made the Pokeball float back towards her, but by the time she'd grasped it, Gothita had sent another Confusion at Hoppip. This wasn't even a battle any more. This couldn't be described as anything other than complete chaos. Just like that, Hoppip was out cold. All three of Alexis' Pokemon were unable to battle. If an official referee was there, they'd announce Sophia's team the winner. Not that either trainer cared at the moment. Alexis looked around at the area. The remnants of the little prank battle they had before everything got out of hand was still there. Powdered snow and water puddles surrounded them. It sent a feeling that clashed with how Alexis had been feeling at the moment. Her attention then went to her Pokemon. Each and every one was out cold. All she wanted was to calm everyone down at the moment, and yet... Everything was rushing through Alexis' mind. It was all too much to take at once. She tried to let out a scream, but instead, she fainted. Alexis blacked out. [color=orchid]"No..."[/color] Sophia could barely speak. Her mouth had gone dry. She ran to where the unconscious girl and Pokemon lay, and dropped to her knees. She didn't care that she was kneeling in a puddle, soaking her outfit further. She'd won, and yet, and yet... This felt nothing like a victory. She closed her eyes, taking several deep, shaking breaths. Trying to gain enough focus, she reached out with her senses, but it was like trying to see through thick fog, and the energy she could pick up on was blurred together. Crawling over, she placed her hand on the girl's forehead and tried again. This time, it came more easily to her. The girl was going to be ok. She did the same to each Pokemon, breathing a sigh of relief. Injured as they were, they'd live. "Go...thi?" Sophia's reaction had snapped Gothita out of the battle-crazed state. She stared in shock at what she'd done.
