Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Say wha...?"

"Vile-WEA-VILE!" It shouted as it was caught up in the fight cloud, only for it to get flung out, hitting the floor only a second later.

"That's not good..." I said. "Weavile, you okay?"

"Vileeee..." It growled out. It was hurting, but it was really ticked off now. "Easy there...Ice Punch!" I shouted.

Weavile picked himself back up quickly then rushed off, Weavile's claws exuding a icy mist. "WEAVILE!" The Weavile shouted, moving in with the Ice Punch.

"WEA!!!" Weavile backed off after getting countered by the Iron Tail attack. The Steel attack didn't do extensive damage like it could have, but enough to where Weavile had to back off a ways, and shake its punching claw quite furiously to get at the very least feeling back into it. That one really smarted. "Wea...vile..."

"This isn't working..." I said. "Hang tight, Weavile, we're not out of this yet..." I said.

"...someone doesn't know me all that well, does he?" I spoke up. "Weavile! Counter!" I shouted.

As the Liepard started to come down, Weavile leapt up and sent its brutal upward slash upon the Liepard to meet that Iron Tail head on.

"...tch...idiot." I said.

"Wea-vile." Weavile said.

"You okay there?" I asked.

"Vile weavile..." Winded, but generally okay.

"That's good." I checked my watch. Lunch would probably be served right now, but considering the condition of my party, I best have it back in the room. After all, Lavern did say that my area was stocked a fair bit, which I may make use of. A good few Pokemon of mine needs to be tended to...with one grueling fight after the next so far today, and now that I finally made it to Marquis, it's only going to get nastier from here. I best be ready. "Come on, Weavile, return for now. I'll get you out in a few." I recalled Weavile back to the Pokeball and retreated back to quarters for the time being.

Shocked? You bet I was. I didn't even think that I warranted such a reception. "Ms. Lavern, you did all of this for me? Geez, I...honestly don't know what to say." I said. "Really, you didn't have to. I'm actually a bit on the flattered side. Thank you."

I took a seat, and looked at all the food before me. I sat back a bit, rubbing my eyes. Not anything out of frustration, mind. Really, if I could, I would probably have a fairly large grin on my face right now. I never would have imagined getting anything like this ever. "Heh, Ms. Lavern, you're making me feel a little guilty right now." I said. "Really though, my Pokemon deserve more credit than I do."

"Providing that they're going to be in any shape to. I'm not kidding when I say that the last few battles were...taxing. When you said that things would have gotten a lot harder, you weren't kidding. I'm a little upset at myself for allowing them to get into such a condition." I said, getting back up from my chair. One by one I released my Pokemon. First off, Weavile, who was generally okay. Telia, the same, if still kept that crispy blown back look dealt upon her by that Slurpuff. Then it started to get into the worse feeling ones. Porygon-Z, still wary from the battle with Comebuy's Tyrantrum. Glaceon, who was a bit on the fried side, no thanks to that Flare guy's Pyroar, and Zangoose, who was still reeling from Comebuy's Aegislash's Giga Impact. Scizor was the only one out of the party who didn't succumb to any fate, and stared in confusion when he looked at the rest of the exhausted party.

"Scizor sci?" The Pokemon spoke.

The other Pokemon spoke to him. 'Rough day'.

"Understatement of the century, guys, and we only made it to the afternoon." I said.

She now had my attention. Though, I had to play it cool here...close to her I gotten to, I still had to go incognito. "A Elite Four here? As in one of the Kalosian Elites? Huh..." I said. "What kind of Elites do you all have here? For that matter, what one is coming?" I asked.
