SubonicXP "...well, that happened." Barbara commented, then quickly realizing Tristen's plan here. "You're a clever boy, aren't you? A very talented young trainer indeed. Yes, she must be proud of you." She said, giving Tristen a knowing smile. Was she referring to Freth? Had to be. "Probopass, pull yourself together, of foe here won't be satisfied with just slapping." She warned her Pokemon, the Probopass slowly but surely regaining its wits as it began to look around confused, trying to find Mienshao again, its mini noses darting around it.
Springing off the bridge of the giant nose of the rock Pokémon and flipping gracefully, Mienshao landed on the other side of the Probopass as it started to flinch about from perhaps the soul damage as opposed to any physical damage, if anyone is being honest with themselves. But speaking of said damage to the spirit, Tristen once again found himself unnerved by what this person was insinuating. At this at this point, he was certain she knew he was a Snagem, but he didn’t know who she was. Or how she would possibly know. Could it be possible by chance she started the rumors in this school? What for? And who was she talking about? Freth maybe? It didn’t matter. He couldn’t back off now, he couldn’t really hesitate either; Tristen and Mienshao was on the clock. Mienshao was in close, he had to land the crushing blow. “High Jump Kick!” Tristen shouted.
“ME-SHO!” The Mienshao rushed fast and hard and launched itself off the ground to drive itself foot first in a massive Reckless and Muscle Band empowered attack. |

Mienshao's kick would connect with the Compass Pokemon, the impact creating an audible gong-like noise as the floating Rock and Steel type was sent tumbling through the air, leaving behind its mini noses to just fall to the ground lifelessly. Probopass wouldn't go too far due to its weight, shocking that Mienshao was able to send it soaring at all, the kick that powerful. The Compass Pokemon would hit the ground several feet in front of Barbara, laying there motionless as it was knocked out. All Barbara could do was look down at her Pokemon, watching as it slowly began to rotate and point north again in spite of being knocked out.
"Well that certainly didn't go completely as planned." Barbara commented as she recalled her Pokemon. "You have some powerful Pokemon, Tristen. Not only are they physically powerful but they are also powerful in their bonds with you. You have a lot of potential and while I'm certainly not winning this battle I am excited to try out this next one. Using this one was my entire reason to participate in this tournament." Barbara said as she took out another Heavy Ball and tossed it onto the field. The device would pop open and in a burst of light would reveal a very large crab-like Pokemon standing at almost seven feet tall. A Focus Sash was tied around one of its legs.
"Klaaawf!" Roared the Ambush Pokemon as it snapped its claws in the air, the students and staff all letting out gasps and began to murmur and carry on about the sheer size of this 'Klawf' Pokemon. From what Tristen could hear them say this crab was apparently abnormally large for its species and many were wondering where it came from and how Barbara got her hands on it. The woman smirked as she too heard all the comments.
"How do you like my Klawf? Tell your parents you got to face the former Stony Cliff Titan when you get a chance." Barbara kinda bragged, proud of her capture. "Though I suppose it's not as big as Freth remembers it, oh well. Time to see what the former Titan can do. Klawf, use Swords Dance!" The woman ordered. Klawf would begin to skitter from side to side, snipping at the air wildly as it conjured up a few 'swords' made of energy which would spin around its body before clanking together and being absorbed into the crab, thus raising its Attack sharply. Whatever it did next was going to really hurt.
The sand continues to blow.

Perfect. The Probopass, even with its nigh-fortress like defenses couldn’t stand up to the likes of a mighty blow from Mienshao. Then again, just about anything would crumple if they were exposed to their most grueling weaknesses. Fighting attacks just were not kosher at all with a Probopass. This was actually perfect. Maybe he could keep his third Pokémon secret after all. It was what he was after. He still had to get through one final Pokémon however. He and Mienshao couldn’t rest on their laurels just yet.
As the sandstorm continued to scour the battlefield, let alone the Mienshao that was still on it, his opponent finally released her third Pokémon. At first, he would have thought nothing of it. He didn’t see any Klawf first hand as of yet, but when everyone started to talk about how unusually large this thing is, he couldn’t help but to stare in confusion. But wait…The Stony Cliff Titan? Wait, Freth? Suddenly it started to add up as to who she was. “Wait, you’re with the group with Ms. Raifort!?” Tristen asked. This was bad. That was how she knew who Tristen was. Last thing he expected was anyone from that group here, let alone participating in that battle. He almost figured they’d be out trying to deal with the expeditions to find the Herba Mystica still. Listening to her further, it confirmed it. This is…or was, the massive Klawf they had to fight out in the mesas earlier this week. She captured it after all the battling was said and done.
That raised the question now just how much punishment could this thing take. Tristen as far as he knew still carried the type advantage. This was for some odd reason a rock type instead of a water type like everything else in this world would suggest. With that said, Freth mentioned how this thing took all manner of punishment. But that was when it was at a gargantuan size so surely it couldn’t take that kind of punishment from Mienshao now, could it? Whatever the case, it was going to be able to dish it, now that it was now Swords Dancing and raising its physical assault prowess by a grand amount. Tristen still had a couple of outs with Mienshao, but would they be enough to finish this crab off? There was another issue. There, standing out like a sore thumb on the Klawf’s leg was a peculiar band. He recognized it from his shopping endeavors just last night. A Focus Sash. Apparently, she was worried about this Pokémon being taken out in one blow as well. Not that he could blame her; that has been happening quite a lot in this tournament. She probably actually came in with the assumption one of the Snagems would be in this tournament in some capacity. And unfortunately for Tristen, he was that Snagem.
Big as this Klawf supposedly was, Mienshao still had his assault power and all manner of speed. He had to still take advantage of it while he could. “Mienshao! Low Sweep!” Tristen commanded. Mienshao quickly dashed for the large Klawf then when he got close, took a dive, feet first, at the Klawf’s legs. For the moment, they needed to keep this large crab off balance.
