Ray shivered in anticipation when the rude woman accepted his challenge. He smiled brightly as he replied with, "It's on then!" Turning to the pink haired guy Ray nodded. "You're welcome. I can't stand clingy girls." He added with a wink. He then gave a thumbs up when the guy offers to referee. "Sounds good to me. What about you?" Ray asked the woman.

"I don't give a Rattata's ass! I'll show you tourists how it's done in the Orre region! Let's go!" Shouted the woman as she stepped further into the square. Ray followed her step for step until they were squaring off just feet from an old useless dried up fountain. The woman was first to move. "Ledyba, Shuppet, it's showtime ladies!" She ordered with a flourish of her arm tossing her pokeballs onto the battlefield. 

Ray followed suit by extending an arm revealing a pokeball in hand. "Ping, come on out bud and give Trina a hand!" He shouted. With a flash of red light Ray's Plusle, Ping, appeared from his pokeball. Ping skipped and cried out happily as he saw his friend Trina and their trainer. The happy reunion was cut short when it noticed the opposing pokemon causing the little electric pokemon to go to all fours and scowl at them. He gave an as threatening as a cry coming from a cute little rodent can get and sparked up his cheek pouches. Trina joined Ping on the battlefield and also assumed a threatening demeanor. "Alright how about ladies first?" Ray offered politely. It way have been a serious moment, but Ray was still a gentleman.

"How nice of you. Quite the gentleman. You may come to regret it!" She said pointing menacingly at Ray. "Ledyba, Supersonic! Shuppet, Will'o'wisp!" She ordered with a wide grin of confidence. Without skipping a beat the bug type and ghost type took off after Trina and Ping. First to act was Ledyba. It cried out and beat its wings furiously building up the air wave fluctuations before launching them towards Trina the Electrike. Next was Shuppet. It's eyes glowed blue as haunting blue flames materialized in front of it before launching them towards Ping the Plusle. 

However, Ray was just as quick to order his pokemon and they were even quicker to act. "Dodge it and let's finish this quick! Ping, Helping Hand! Trina, Discharge!" Commanded Ray. Following orders Ping jumps out of the way and in one fluid motion goes into a happy dance clapping his hands and cheering brightly. Around his body a ring of blue electricity builds. At the same time Trina dodges the Supersonic another blue ring builds around her. Feeling the power she is receiving from Ping, Trina races towards Ledyba and Shuppet as more electricity builds around her body as she charges her attack. Leaping into the air towards her opponents Trina releases the all encompassing electrical attack onto the battlefield. Being electric type himself Ping is barely affected, but the huge blast knocks the rude woman's pokemon to her feet. Looking to the impromptu referee, Ray waited for his call.
