[color=8882be]"You guys go on ahead..."[/color] Indy moved towards Hermes. [color=8882be]"I kinda have something to do..."[/color] Whether they went ahead or not, he didn't notice. He wasn't able to, being completely transfixed by the possibility of catching the Drampa.

[color=8882be]"What say you and I have a battle?"[/color] Indigo asked Hermes. The Drampa raised it's head, seeming to be taken aback. He shuffled uncomfortably, though Indy hardly noticed.

[color=8882be]"Come on, if we battle, and I prove that I'm strong enough, then you can join my team right?"[/color]

Hermes snorted, letting out a cloud of steam. He gently nudged Indy back.

[color=8882be]"What-? Oh come on, you don't think I'm tough enough?"[/color] Indigo crossed his arms. [color=8882be]"Give me a chance. You'll see. You don't have to treat me like my pokemon can't handle anything."[/color]

Hermes instead rolled over on his belly, looking at Indy as if he were saying, 'can you scratch my belly instead?'

[color=8882be]"Oh come ON!"[/color] Indigo released Hawka from her pokeball, and the Combusken came out in a fiery burst. She let out a few practice swings before assuming her stance. 

But he was interrupted...
