Not that Steph was paying him much mind now after all, she simply was making her way with Freyja to the front of the line, also uttering what people could only fathom to be an apologies of sorts before reaching the front. And what she saw once up there put stars in her eyes as she immediately spotted the Metagross, only half-listening to Freya though still registering what the girl said, stuff that she wasn't entirely surprised to learn being from the country herself, dock workers and sailors didn't seem all that different from farm folk at times even from her own limited experienced. Her focus instead narrowed down almost entirely onto the man who owned said Metagross. She had already been denied once, she would be damned if she was denied again! Almost as if oblivious to the obvious tension threatening to boil over from some of those in the crowd with the man, Steph didn't even hesitate the moment after he spoke about anyone else trying their luck. [color=37B5A9]"Dahmn fuckin roigh' Oy do!"[/color] No doubt Freya was giving her a bewildered look as she stepped forward with her hand raised up high, a beaming wide grin on lighting up her face. Steph was already committed long before Freya would get a chance to stop her, though she could still certainly try as Steph moved closer. [hider=I can take him] [color=37B5A9]"Damn fucking right I do!"[/color] [/hider] And at first glance, perhaps he mightn't think much of this stranger. Or perhaps much like Steph, he might have an eye for the stronger sort. Strength of mind, strength of body, strength of character, whatever form that strength may come in. She had an almost ignorant confidence to her, almost as if this was her first hours as a trainer or something crazy like that. But that would be insane right, who in their right mind would challenge a no doubt extremely experienced trainer and very well raised and trained Metagross of all things to a battle? Only an insane lunatic would. Which is exactly what Stephanie Irwin was. [color=37B5A9]"Raest of thiies lawt moigh' be spoineless, buh' oym oolwhys daown t' thraow hahnds anytoime, anywheah, anyone ya knaow? Ya knaow. Oh, and nymes Steph boy the boy."[/color] She stopped a few paces from the man, straightening herself up as if trying to face him down like a boxing promotion. No doubt he was taller than her, not that she was short by any stretch of the imagination, so it might be more akin to a toddler trying to stare down a Tyranitar, but Steph didn't care. There was a fire in her eyes, and a gaze fixated on the Pokeball the Metagross had been returned into. [hider=In a fight] [color=37B5A9]"Rest of this lot might be spineless, but I'm always down to throw hands anytime, anywhere, anyone ya know? Ya know. Oh, and names Stephy by the by." [/color] [/hider] [color=37B5A9]"In syyin thaht, probahbly gawnna lose buh' hy, nao shyme in troyin am Oy roigh'? A shawt nawt tyken is a shawt meessed."[/color] A chuckle would follow as she felt what one could only describe as 'Butterfrees in her stomach', adrenaline pumping as she tried to channel her excited energy. She knew this was a bad idea, this was a horrible idea really. Even Dusk was giving her a sideeye as if to say 'are you fucking serious?', but something clicked as she shared his side-on glance and the two just nodded at each other. Something something pets taking after their owners, even if Dusk was more of a partner than a pet. Ignore the fact she had known him for all of like, 2 hours tops. She would kill everyone in this room and then herself if anything happened to him goshdarnit. [hider=Intrusive thoughts are winning] [color=37B5A9]"In saying that, probably gonna lose but hey, no shame in trying am I right? A shot not taken is a shot missed."[/color] [/hider] [color=37B5A9]"Sao, haow abeow' ih'? Oy reckawn a one on one, moy Dusk heah vuhsus yoah Metagross is praetty faeh. Unless youre Torchic?"[/color] A bold statement, and not one she entirely believed. Honestly she just wanted to fight the Metagross, who knew when the next time to do so would crop up like this? And who knows, maybe if she, by some miracle bestowed by Arceus, won, she might even be able to learn where to find one around Evig! She had already been denied the chance today to know where to find a Deino, she wouldn't let this chance slip also. Ooh wait he was strong, so maybe he might also know where to find a Deino? Or someone else who might? [hider=Cause someone has to be suicidal right?] [color=37B5A9]"So, how about it? I reckon a one on one, my Dusk here versus your Metagross is pretty fair. Unless you're Torchic?"[/color] [/hider] Aight! That was it! She was well and truly fired up, that much was obvious and no amount of convincing could get her to back down. Bring it on, whether it be a one sided smackdown like everyone, including her, expected, or a miraculous showing of any sort. Her chances of victory might be nearly non-existent...but a chance was a chance! [Steph challenges unknown trainer to a battle!]
