[@Masterkeun] [color=ec008c]"D-Don't bring reality into fiction! That's unswell!"[/color] Perdy stammered, somewhat scared, before pulling a Pokeball from his jacket. [color=ec008c]"My lovely little Pokemon will show you! Vanillite, go!"[/color] [url]http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7anythinggoes-556473325[/url] As the battle began, Mable's rage proved to aid her in battle; Her tactical use of Shinx's double kick instantly pummeling Perdy's first Pokemon into the ground, causing him to squeal in fear. [color=ec008c]"Nilly, Baby, no! Return to daddy!"[/color] He cried, tears forming under his glasses as he gritted his teeth, pulling out another Pokeball. [color=ec008c]"You might've handled him, darling, but can you handle this stunner?! Smoochie, show them who's boss!"[/color] While it was a struggle, Perdy's Smoochum managed to come out on top against Mable's Shinx with it's surprisingly physical strength; But Carvanha soon came in and cleaned up, leaving Perdy out of usable Pokemon as he ran forward and picked up his little fainted Smoochum, sobbing; [color=ec008c]"Smoochie, oh, my little Smoochie! Are you alright?! D-Daddy will take care of you! Don't worry!"[/color] Glaring at Mable, the victor, Perdy reluctantly handed her two items. Two bottles of medicine. [color=ec008c]"I cannot believe you managed to beat me without either of your Pokemon fainting! Benefits me though, as I can keep this wonderful Revive item for me~ These potions will do you just fine."[/color] Smiling, Perdy bowed politely, the Smoochum still in one of his arms. [color=ec008c]"It was a good fight! I think I learned something from this... But, now that we're through, I must be off! A superstar doesn't wait, he goes and snatches his desires! And my newest desire... Is to be strong enough to defeat you, love!"[/color] He seemed enthusiastic, at least. He ran ahead, his haughty laugh echoing in their ears. [color=ec008c]"We WILL meet again!!"[/color] And with that, he was gone. As quick as he appeared, though with his promises met. The distraction had been enough for Marlene to wander deeper into the woods without anyone truly knowing where she was. That could be troublesome if they were to try and regroup... The trio turned duo would simply have to hope Marlene would find them later. As wandering through the trees was probably more dangerous of a task than they would like to take part in.
