 The teen trainer walked into the battleground with a feeling of slight optimism. So far she had lost 2 battles, but hey, maybe this would be her lucky day. She pushed a bit of her auburn hair back behind her ear and adjusted her purple hat. Once she arrived at her place to stand, she drew a pokeball from her belt and threw it, releasing a flash of light. A houndour appeared and glanced back at the trainer for reassurance. Jen nodded at Conleth as he turned away from her, feeling slightly more confident now that Jen was feeling just as hopeful at winning as he was.
I hope his slight lack in confidence doesn't impede on his ability to battle, I know I'm going to have to really be focused and help him along, thought Jen as she put the empty pokeball back on her belt. Conleth hadn't even been up to walking into the stadium, he had wanted to be carted in his pokeball. Jen hoped this hadn't been some sort of horrible omen for how the battle was going to fair. She waited patiently for her opponent to arrive as she gazed around, taking in her surroundings fully.

Falcon strod into the arena; Cale sprawled across her shoulders, his tail wrapped around her waist. A graceful Delcatty walked at her heels as Falcon caressed the Dragonair's head. They tended to lose twice as many battles as they won; so if things kept to their usual pattern, this would be another loss. None of them minded. They all did their best; and grew through each battle, as individuals and as a team. Cale unwrapped himself from Falcon's torso as she stood on the edge of the ring. He turned to her briefly; and she smiled at him. "Do your best." The Dragonair nodded; before gliding into the ring.

"Let's get this battle started!" Jen said as optimistically as she could, trying to hide the slight tremor in her voice. Conleth gave a slight yip, ready and awaiting orders. "Conleth, use bite!" The houndour leapt up and sprinted towards the middle of the battle field. His gray eyes smoldered slightly as he kicked up some dirt from his claws getting only slight traction from the ground. His fur flew about as he leapt into the air, mouth opening widely to show off a jaw full razor sharp teeth, ready to clamp down on the dragonair's flesh upon contact. -2 Damage 26/26 HP

"Cale, look out!" Falcon called. The Houndour was fast- for a moment Falcon feared he was too fast; but then the Dragonair rose into the air, and the Houndour's teeth closed only on his tail. "Wiggle your tail free; then use Dragon Breath!" Falcon commanded. The Dragonair writhed slightly; and using the orbs on his tail as leverage, managed to remove his tail from the Houndour's jaws. Then he inhaled deeply; igniting his draconic powers. Once he felt them deep within, he exhaled; forcing the blue and gold flames from his body and at the Houndour. (Dice Roll) But he didn't have much time to aim; and Falcon winced as she saw his attack fly wild. 1 Damage! Damage = 1

"Dodge it Conleth!" Jen shouted quickly. The houndour glanced up and attempted to do a run-roll type of movement to escape. Jen watched as the blue and gold flames from the dragon breath blasted fully where Conleth had been mere seconds ago. However, she noticed that the houndour did get a slightly singed tail in the process, but he certainly didn't look too concerned about it.
"Use your own fire, use Fire Blast!" Jen roared as Conleth turned on a dime. He felt the warmth of the fire growing in his throat, letting it build with more ferocity, more power. He headed back towards Cale and opened his mouth quickly, letting out a howl and a blast of fire. It seemed as if it was going to be a dead on accurate hit, unlike the bite.

"Cale, watch out!" Falcon called out too late; and the flame washed over the Dragonair. Falcon's hands rose to her mouth; and the Delcatty stood next to her leaned forwards, letting out a low mewl of concern. As the conflagration receded, Falcon's eyes widened. Cale was curled up; sinking towrds the ground, the Dragonair seemed oblivious that the attack had finished. His smooth skin was covered in burns; some worse than others. Falcon bit her lip; the battle was far from over, but it looked like the outcome was decided. Still, they would do their best. "Cale!" she called. The Dragonair's feathered head wings flickered; and he started to uncoil himself. "Don't give up!" Falcon called to him. "Just do your best!" Her Pokemon looked across the ring at her; and she was relieved to see the resolve in his eyes. "Get in close; use Body Slam!" The Dragonair backed up a little in the air; before diving down, aiming for the Growlithe. (Dice Roll) But his nerves were shot; Falcon winced at how slowly he was moving. Even if the Growlithe didn't manage to avoid the attack, it would do little damage. 2 Damage! Damage =

Conleth glanced at Jen for instructions, ignoring the slow moving dragonair. She didn't understand why he wasn't trying to avoid the attack, it would be so easy, even with his tail in pain. Then, it came to her.
"Conleth brace yourself, and use fire fang!" The Houndour nodded, digging its claws into the ground below, getting as much traction as possible. His eyes glowed for a few seconds, drawing the flame energy towards his mouth once more. He could feel the fire coating his teeth, heating them up without making him suffer. When Cale body slammed him, Conleth felt himself move quite a bit more than he thought he would. But he didn't want to let this stop him. The houndour turned back towards the dragonair and opened his glowing fiery mouth and clamped down on whatever part of flesh was the closest, hoping to so some damage.

Falcon didn't have any time to cry out before the hot fangs sank into Cale's flesh. Her eyes widened and she staggered backwards as she heard the Dragonair scream in pain- the attack had landed directly on one of his burns, heating the flesh further and causing him agony. Falcon winced; her hands rose to her throat as the Dragonair thrashed. Then she pulled herself together. Though her voice still shook, she called out to her Pokemon. "Come on, Cale! Wriggle free; and use Slam!" The Dragonair barely heard her through the pain clouding his head; but he complied, writhing until he could move freely. Once he could, he spun his tail in an arc; using the heavy orbs to give the attack weight and momentum. (Dice Roll) His burns were bothering him; and it hurt to move. But Cale still put effort into his attack; and Falcon closed her eyes briefly. It pained her to see him so horrifically burned; but she was proud that he still did his best regardless. 4 Damage!

Conleth was trying to get some dirt off of his nose when he felt Cale barrel in to him. With a grunt he found himself going quite a bit across the stadium for an attack he thought would have been like the last slam move. He found himself almost turned all the way around from how he had currently been. Blinking a few times, he jumped backwards and let out a growl before glancing back at his trainer. Jen was surprised as well at how that slam had differed so much. She frowned slightly glancing back at Conleth and giving a nod. "Conleth use Shadow Ball!"
The houndour felt the dark energy slowly collecting in front of him, getting larger and larger. The ball was spinning wildly on its axis as the houndour felt it growing in strength. Once he felt it was sufficiently powerful he backed up slightly and knocked it forward with his open mouth. He watched as it hurtled towards the dragonair. However, he winced as he noticed how he hadn't been too concerned with accuracy, watching it hurtle only somewhat towards Cale.

"Cale, look out!" Falcon didn't really need to call to him; the attack was wild, and the Dragonair soared to one side. Due to the length of his serpentine body, Cale didn't entirely avoid the attack; and it hit his tail. He turned to look at it, almost curious; as he had never been attacked by a Dark none-physical attack before. "Focus, Cale!" The Dragonair blinked; and awaited the next command. He was still in a lot of pain, but feeling a little more energetic for not being hit too hard. "Alright; use Body Slam, now!" Cale flipped himself in the air; before diving down towards the Houdour. (Dice Roll) But the attack held little power; it still hurt for Cale to move much, and the air resistance just increased the pain. 2 Damage! Damage = 2

Jen watched the dragonair dive towards her houndour. "Dodge it Conleth!" she called out to him, but Cale had already knocked him down. Conleth didn't seem to phased by the attack so Jen took that as a great sign. "Conleth, get back up and use Payback!" She watched as the houndour scrambled back up. He bared his fangs and turned towards the dragonair. His eyes narrowed and he began racing back away from Cale before turning quickly and running back, trying to increase the speed and power of the attack. When he was close enough he leapt up to throw the damage back at the dragonair. From what Jen could tell, it seemed like it was going to be quite the powerful payback.

"Cale, look out!" The Dragonair tried to turn sharply away from the Houndour; but as he did so, one of his larger burn blisters tore. Cale cried out, th pain momentarily taking up all his attention as liquid from the blisted ran down his underside. The Houdour's attack hit home; sending Cale skidding into the dirt. The serpentine Dragon cried out as sand grated against his burns; and Falcon bit her lip. Each attack of her Pokemon's had less strength than the one before; but she couldn't say the same for the Houdour, who still seemed to be ready for more. It seemed to Falcon that the outcome was decided; but they wouldn't stop trying! Cale seemed to be thinking similarly; as he lifted his head slowly from the sand as his body followed. Falcon nodded. "You're doing great; keep doing your best! Use Dragon Breath!" Despite the pain it caused him to swell his chest, Cale breathed deeply; before trying to force the draconic flames out towards the Houdour. (Dice Roll) He wanted the battle to be over; but he wasn't going to stop putting in effort. The flames burst from his mouth; although he didn't have much time to aim, the attack held a lot of power. 6 Damage! Damage =

"Avoid it Conleth!" But Jen saw that there was not enough time to escape the majority of the dragon breath. The houndour let out a cry of pain from the heat of the dragon fire on his exposed fur and skin. He managed to roll out of the way of some of the fire, but he had still been hurt by quite a bit. His face burned and he looked rather singed on He growled and glanced back at his trainer.
"You alright?" She asked with concern. Jen did not like the looks of the burns at all. They looked so much different than those that Conleth had inflicted upon Cale.
Curse dragon breath, she thought as she noticed Conleth give a quick nod to her question. If he felt up to it, she was fine with allowing the battle to continue. She hoped it would end soon so both trainers could heal their horribly burned pokemon. More for Cale's sake since he had the worst of it
"Okay, lets try another shadow ball!" She called out. Jen hoped that this time it might actually hit. He really needed to get better at his dark attacks, especially since it was a major contribution to his move sets. She watched her houndour nervously, hoping for a better hit this time.
Conleth let out a yip of pain as he shifted himself so he had a better position to build energy from. He closed his eyes once more, feeling more exhausted as he pulled the dark energy from within his body, to the outside. The energy flowed out, increasing the size of the ball by quite a significant bit. This time, Conleth really focused as he opened his eyes and aimed the floating shadow ball at Cale. He leaped forward and sent the attack hurtling quickly in the dragonair's direction. It looked dead accurate this time.

The ball of darkness consumed the Dragonair; and as it receded, it showed him lying in the dust; unmoving. So the battle was over. Falcon was proud of Cale; but she needed to heal him- fast. She stepped forwards- and Kiliina bolted in front of her, the Delcatty standing in the way. Falcon tripped and landed on her hands and knees over the Delcatty; but realised she had noticed something. It was the way of her Pokemon to alert her if she thought the one in battle was out of the fight- but wasn't. As soon as she entered the ring they would be disqualified; so Falcon looked up, picking out Cale in the dust. The Dragonair was lifting his head from the ground with agonising slowness. As he rose his head, his body followed; and his rose, covered in dust, burns and blisters; shaking all over and barely able to move- but he was still getting up. He was still fighting. Falcon felt her eyes fill with tears; he wasn't giving up, he was putting in so much effort! She felt her heart swell with pride. She knew he could barely move; could barely do anything. That only left one possible move; although she hated using it twice in a row, she knew his powers would be weakened even further by using the move so recently. "Cale, you're doing great!" Falcon knew this was her last command; she let him know how proud she was by filling each word with the emotion. "Use Dragon Breath!" The Dragonair inhaled deeply; although Falcon could see the pain the movement caused him in his eyes. Closing them, he forced the jet of flame out of his mouth. (Dice Roll) The attack was weak and inacccurate; but it didn't matter. The battle was already decided; it was enough to Falcon- to both of them- that Cale was still fighting. 2 Damage! Damage = 2

Jen had watched as the other trainer had almost stepped out of bounds to get to Cale. was amazed at the dragonair. The fact it was able to still move after all the burns and all the effects from the dark attacks. She watched as it rose into the air and sent out a sloppy dragon breath with its last bit of energy. Conleth dodged it slightly, but still took on some of the burns. He bit down on his tongue and shuddered from his own heat blisters.
Jen bit her lip slightly, knowing she had to end it so both pokemon could be healed. Cale looked like he really needed it from all the burns, blisters, and bitemarks, not to mention some of the dust that was probably getting on the wounds would have to be cleaned up. Though Conleth was looking more filthy than injured, she'd have to give him quite a bath.
"Conleth use Tackle!" She called out to her houndour after having taken a deep breath.
At first he merely stared over at Cale, wondering how he could possibly still be getting up after all the damage from the shadow ball on top of the burns he had sustained. Conleth didn't think he would have it in him if he got to that condition in a battle. He knew he'd have to train hard to get to be that willful. Then, the houndour took action and turned towards the dragonair and began to build up speed. Conleth figured it would be a quick move and since he was tired he wouldn't devastate the pokemon with a full take down. He leapt up into the air and gave a knowing look before barreling weakly into the dragonair.
