[@Eklispe][@Pikmin Eye][@Lasrever] Ellyn's brows twitched at Dawkin's suggestion. It seems she was childish enough not to take that comment too well.

[color=507173]'… The battle continues until all Pokémon on one side has fainted.'[/color] Ellyn commented. Then she turned her attention to the battlefield. [color=507173]'Bird. Peck the water-creature one more time, then fall back to your right and back to the plant.'[/color] She commanded. The Natu obeyed the command. It found itself tail-whipped, it's defense lowered further. However, the tail whip likely meant it would be able to get its Peck in unless things took an unexpected turn. With his defense lowered earlier as well as taking multiple pecks, Winston would then find himself considerably damaged and would likely fall from another Peck.

But, if the Natu had attempted to make another Peck, it would also have allowed itself to be boxed in and locked down. Ellyn was too intelligent to let that happen, so after the Peck the bird jumped high to its right, for it is difficult for two slower Pokémon to box in a bird. The Natu yet had the speed-advantage, although its defense was considerably lowered and one of its opponents was an Aron, making victory unlikely indeed, as the victory hung on merely Peck.

[color=607ebf]'Defend the bird!'[/color] Simon commanded, and #2 bounced to meet where the Natu was fleeing.

[color=db845c]'Ooooh...'[/color] Maple stood with a fairly distressed expression, her hands raised as if trying to do something to help her team, but as Maggy lay fainted, she knew the rules of the game she had participated in.

Ewan silently watched Claire's and Ralia's little celebration, looking a little defeated but also a little more brightened up than he had looked when he had arrived. At the grin and the thumb's up, he nodded with agreement.

[color=decdad]'It was. You used some inventive tactics, I'll need to keep such in mind in the future. Well fought.'[/color] He confirmed, a hint of a little smile on his face, before he continued. [color=decdad]'I'll hope to challenge you again at some point when my team has been completed.'[/color]

[color=decdad]'…'[/color] He looked over at where Joshua was fighting Reiji, putting his hands on his hips a little. Clearly, now he also had someone which he had to wait for.

Over there where the adults were watching, Kalmia was grinning widely at the two battles which it appeared her trainers had been doing well, and also with more determination at those which had yet to be determined. Jacques stood still, smiling but otherwise nothing betraying his emotional state, as his intrusive gaze inspected each individual for themselves. He did not give any reaction to Abigail's look at him.
