[hider=Battle]Ignoring York's retort, Ruari started laughing at Talonite's comment. With Fionn just silently glaring at her, she laughed even harder. Calming down, she carefully looks over their pokemon. [color=9e0b0f]"A ghost type, huh?"[/color] With that, the target was set and the battle had begun.

[Color=gray]"Necro, use Hypnosis."[/color] Talonite decided he wanted to end this quickly, as Necro's eyes glowed an eerie blue.

[color=steelblue]"Alright then, Ren use Bubble"[/color], he called. York's Froakie began to expel a wave of bubbles, though it seemed to have been purposely done as a slow-moving semi-wall as it floated towards the Gible.

[color=9e0b0f]"Rio, Use Foresight on the Gastly."[/color] Once the order was given, she turned towards Fionn.

With a simple look, he knew the move that should follow. [color=f26522]"Gible, Sandstorm, now."[/color]. With Riolu using Foresight on the ghost pokemon, it was now capable of being hit by Riolu's move and with Sandstorm, the plan was to shield it from Hypnosis and potentially from the bubbles, that was the plan anyway.

Talonite sighed and shook his head at the audacity of the two. [Color=gray]"It's considered rude to kick up weather indoors. Necro, use Lick on the Riolu."[/color] Necro sped towards Riolu and licked it, ignoring the sand getting in its mouth.

[color=steelblue]"Sandstorm huh? Alright Ren, disappear"[/color], he said, as soon as the Sandstorm made another wave, the Froakie was gone from sight. [color=steelblue]"Water Pulse on Gible, stay hidden"[/color], he ordered, for a moment amongst the sands, the sandstorm was split in a circle as a ball of water flew from an unexpected angle upon the Gible.

[color=9e0b0f]"....Rio, Use Hi-Jump Kick on the Gastly, send it crashing into the ground."[/color]  she commanded calmly, despite the attack on her partner as her Riolu, following foresight, jumped up and retaliated with a punishing kick.

With the Froakie taking advantage of the sand produced by sandstorm to hide and launch an unexpected attack, there was only one call to make. [color=f26522]"Counter with Dragon Rage."[/color] Taking advantage of the sandstorm and the fact the enemy attacked, the Dragon Rage would create a vortex of sand and now the enemy's water pulse. Providing offense and defense.

Talonite narrowed his eyes and whistled sharply. [Color=gray]"Back![/color] That was his signal for Necro to back off and begin using Spite to wear down the opponent. Necro moved back fast in a zigzag pattern to avoid the devastating move, glowing blue as it used Spite to tire out the Riolu.

The sand vortex changed the nature of the cover, but he was already a step ahead. The Dragon Rage overpowered his Water Pulse, but Ren stayed out of the Gible's direct line of sight, allowing him to close the distance. York only had one simple command, [color=steelblue]"Water Pulse!"[/color], with the sand vortex clearing the area around the attack briefly, revealed the Froakie in the corner of the Gible's vision as the attack was done from relatively close range.

With the Gastly using it's speed as it back away, it managed to avoid serious damage, as it countered with spite. However, it was Riolu instead who took damage, missing the gastly as it crashed into the ground. 

[color=9e0b0f]"Hm..."[/color] Despite seeing Rio crash land, she barely kept her calm while also keeping a close eye on Fionn's battle, she decided to take advantage of the Froakie's attention on Gible to stop it's attack. [color=9e0b0f]"Rio, hit it with Quick Attack!"[/color] Getting off the ground slowly, it did some zig-zagging of it's own and launched itself at the Froakie striking in the side, in hopes to veer it off course.

Managing to shift the water pulse slightly, however, it still managed strike and do some damage to the Gible. Realizing that this matchup wasn't favorable for his pokemon, Fionn decied to change targets. [color=f26522]"Gible, change of target, tackle the Gastly."[/color]

The Gastly stood there with a bored expression as the Tackle passed straight through it, leaving the Gible to stumble behind the Gastly. [color=gray]"Necro, use Lick on the Gible. Knock him out of the park."[/color] Necro turned towards the Gible and swung at it with its tounge in an attempt to knock it into a wall or something.

[color=steelblue]"Oh"[/color], the sudden appearance of Riolu reminded him this was in fact a double battle.

[color=steelblue]"Ah right. Okay, let's coordinate. Make a wall of Bubble behind Gible"[/color], Ren began to set up a field of bubble behind the Gible, limiting it's options to move against Necro's lick, this also meant he and Riolu were going to have to deal with one another now as the Froakie turned to the other little blue Pokemon, besides itself.

With the turn of events, Ruari could only grind her teeth to surpress her growing rage. What was that idiot thinking going after the gastly? Turning to glare at Fionn, she turns back to her own battle. Well, if he was going to blunder like that...Looks like he's on his own. [color=9e0b0f]"Rio, do another quick attack on froakie!"[/color] considering the bubble field seperated the two, neither of them can move without taking damage, with the Damage Riolu took from the miss and Gible and his lack of options against ghost. with the command, Riolu darts after Froakie, hitting it in the stomach with quick attack.

Feeling an intense glare coming his way, his failure really hit home. Considering his options, this matchup wasn't exactly favorable. Especially since he couldn't exactly move the way he wanted to, that bubble and getting hit with that lick was clear. He had only one way of attacking a ghost pokemon and theres spite to consider...Not really left with an option.  [color=f26522]"Gible, Dragon Rage on Gastly!"[/color] giving the close proximity, he could only hope it'd disperse the bubbles but wasnt counting on it. On command, the gible sent the dragon rage right at it.

Necro cackled as it dodged the deadly Dragon Rage, which was made much easier by the distance it had created with the Lick. Talonite was surprised that the Gible didn't get knocked into the Bubble wall but it was no skin off his back.  Literally. [Color=gray]"Necro, finish it with Lick. Knock it into the Bubbles."[/color] The Gastly rushed Gible and swung it's tounge at it in an attempt to knock it into the Bubble wall.

The second Quick Attack into Ren made the Froakie flinch and step away from the Riolu as they sized each other up. [color=steelblue]"Alright, use Bubble"[/color], he started, the attack was executed in a wide area to make it harder to avoid, however as soon as the Bubble was out and a threat, [color=steelblue]"Now use Quick Attack, get around the side!"[/color], the Froakie flickered from vision before turning the sides on the Riolu, going for a quick solid strike from the side. The Riolu was now largely surrounded by Bubble with Froakie in the way.

While Gible tried to hit it with Dragon Rage, the speed of the gastly enable it to dodge it with ease and rush the Gible with a lick, sending it crashing into the bubble wall and knocking it out. Leaving Riolu in a 2 on 1 situation. Cursing to herself, she looked at the time and calmed down. There's no choice, she needed to at least try to take one down with her and buy more time. [color=9e0b0f]"Rio, used quick attack and finish that Froakie with Hi-Jump Kick!"[/color] Like it or not, they've lost this battle but she can at least slow them down. It was all or nothing. With fast break off the ground Rio used its leg power to slip past the bubbles and charge towards the pokemon with a lunging kick.

Talonite rolled his eyes at the attempt to be valiant or whatever by taking one of them down with her. How cliche. [Color=gray]"Necro, Levitate over the Bubbles and use Hypnosis on the Riolu."[/color] The Gastly began to Levitate up and over the wall and looked at the Riolu with glowing blue eyes.

[color=steelblue]"Ren get through the bubbles"[/color], the Froakie charged through it's own bubbles in an attempt to avoid the Hi Jump Kick, were the Hypnosis not to work. [color=steelblue]"Charge a Water Pulse and aim it at the ground"[/color], the Froakie made preparations to blast itself using the momentum of the Water Pulse to fly and dodge should it need to.

Their last ditch effort to eliminate the froakie came crashing down, literally, when the gastly managed to levitate over the bubbles and hit a hypnosis on Riolu during it's jump. Becoming drowsy, it fought it off and continued to lunge after the Froakie. However, it charged up a Water Pulse and aimed it at the ground, using it to blast itself to send it flying up and passed the Riolu's attack, causing the Riolu to crash down into the ground. It was a clear victory for the young trainers as Riolu couldn't get up anymore. [/hider]

Angry at the result but checked her watch again and reasoned it was enough. Recalling their pokemon in their pokeballs, they glanced at each other and made to leave. [color=9e0b0f][b]"We bought enough time, now it's up to the others to finish it.[/b]"[/color] she said to Fionn with disappointment. With that they fled through the exit, leaving Clair all tied up on the ground.
