((This is the thread for Roxanne and I to have our little battle I wanna get this up and started while I can haha)) Soren moved to his respective place on one end of the field and motioned for Roxanne to do the same. Absol had already taken her place and was standing proud near the middle of the battle ground, chest puffed out proudly and horn gleaming in the afternoon sun. Soren methodically adjusted his cravat as he took his customary stance, clasping his hands behind his back. "Now then as I said we'll have three matches, first one to claim two victories is the winner - beat me and you'll get the Fleet Badge for your efforts, if I beat you, well let's say coffee for the good Professor and I on you at the cafe," he said with a grin and a wink. "Choose your first pokemon Miss Jezek and let's get things started."

Roxanne took her spot on the field and gave a hearty laugh at Soren's deal. "Sounds brilliant! I like black coffee with my Fleet Badge, good sir!"
She pulled out a black Luxury Ball, and tossed it. "C'mon out, Persian!"
A large cat was revealed, its fur glossy and eyes glinting with battle energy.
Roxanne made an in-fun mock bow to Soren. "Your move, good sir!"

Soren eyed Roxanne's Persian carefully. The elegant feline certainly looked as tough as it was lovely. He laughed and returned her bow. "Now Alexis be polite and returned the favour." he commanded. Absol bobbed her head and lowered her front end, folding one foreleg while sticking the other straight out in her own form of a bow. "Good girl, now get things started with a Razor Wind."Alexis abruptly straightened up and launched into an eye blurring sprint, running a wide circle around the Persian, her horn glowing with building energy. Without warning she skidded to a halt and leapt skyward, tossing her head as she launched a large scythe-like wave of energy that churned up the air in a tornado like fashion as it barreled towards Roxanne's pokemon. Soren's pale blue eyes narrowed slightly as he watched both the trainer and her pokemon - he was eager to see how she would respond she his speed based tactics. ((I realized I never actually gave Soren's pokemon names so I'll start with his Absol updating profile tiiiime haha))

The Razor Wind attack was beautifully executed by Absol, a Pokemon Roxanne already felt herself admiring.
But she had a fun little trick up her bracelets. "Persian, Fake Out!"
The sleek cat had to move quickly-Absol was wicked fast- but it managed to dodge the attack and leap near Absol, slapping both of its paws together near it, trying to cause a Fake Out.

Brooke headed outside, her chat with Karen was enlightening, she was just fetching her Pokemon from the centre and she thought it best to meet her out there. Brooke skirted around the outside of the field, Charizard next to her, as they headed for the benches that were lined up along the back of the centre; just nicely out of the way of any attacks that might go awry. Charizard slumped down and his eyes lit up at the sight of the Absol and Persian on the field, he growled in anticipation and Brooke lay a hand on his back, "You'll get to battle again soon old man, don't you worry about that." The orange dragon eased up slightly, seemingly satisfied with this answer.
Brooke shifted in her seat so she could get a better view of what was going on, Razor Wing against the Persian - a nice move, but Persian was fast. Brooke gripped the seat with excitement, "You go guys! Woo!" She cheered and Charizard roared alongside her. Brooke was almost very tempted to battle whoever the winner was, but she would wait and see.

Soren smiled - his hunch had been right, Roxanne's Persian was no slouch when it came to speed either. The feline easily dodged his Absol's Razor Wind and retaliated with a lightning fast Fake Out. The attack hit Absol head on and she staggered back dazed for a moment, swinging her head from side to side clearly confused from the blow. Soren whistled sharply, a high piercing note and Alexis stood stock still, shaking her head as he eyes became bright and alert. "That's my girl," he said softly, "Quickly now use Night Slash."
Alexis' face scrunched up in a fierce snarl as she dashed towards Persian, launching herself at the feline, claws glowing with dark energy spread and ready to grapple.

Brooke's phone had gone off, and she had tried to answer it as quietly as she could. But suddenly she was up on her feet, "I'm very sorry you two, but business calls! Roxanne, once you're finished, Tobias Clark is in town, perhaps you could find him. First though I need to deal with something in regards to him, please, come to the lab later - the pair of you. Good luck with the battle!"
She'd skitter off, Charizard close behind. Her first stop was to pick up the little Pokemon from the centre, then head back to the lab.

Roxanne made a face as Soren made his quick recovery. "Aerial Ace!"
Persian leapt into the air after Absol, and the Aerial Ace collided easily with the Night Slash attack. However, Persian still got a good blunt of it, and lost balance on the way down. It landed hard, but got up quickly.
"Now, hit it with a Thunderbolt!" She hoped it would hit, but she soon saw that, even upon, hitting, there was very little it would do- she hoped and hoped it would paralyze Absol...

Soren gave Brooke a wave as she hurridly left and then turned back to the battle. Hos eyes practically lit up when Roxanne commanded her Persian to preform an Aerial Ace - a move that he'd become very well known for himself. The two pokemon collided with a terrific pulse of energy, Persian suffering the worst of it as it hit the ground hard whilst his Absol managed to land on her feet. The large feline pokemon was far from done however and responded with a quick Thunder Bolt.
"Ground yourself!" Soren barked. Quickly Alexis pressed herself down into the dirt, the surge of electricty striking her horn, travelling through her body and dissipating into the ground. She stood, shaking herself vigerously, her movements slightly slower and stiffer than before. Soren cursed softly under his breath - he'd had the same problem when he'd battled Tobias at the Parade. He'd have to end this quickly or Alexis would be subjected to heavy damage. "Show them how it's really done - Aerial Ace!"
Alexis let out a fierce snarl and leapt into the air, coming down at Persian with blinding speed even with her slowly spreading paralysis, claws glowing with energy. That's what he loved about this move - it never missed and it was the fastest trick he had in his arsenal.

Roxanne was both impressed and pissed that Thunderbolt had been grounded, but nearly panicked when she heard what Soren had up next.
"Captivate! Captivate!!!" she yelled out, Persian doing its best to weaken the ATK of Absol with the move. However, it turned out as Roxanne had feared- Persian had taken too much damage already.
The feline cat slank down after Aerial Ace hit it, and though fainted, it fell gracefully.
"Persian, return!"
Persian disappeared into a red beam of energy, and Roxanne gave the Pokeball a gentle squeeze before pocketing it again. "Not bad... but I'm not done!"
She took out another Pokeball and tossed it into the air. "Rapidash, I choose you!"
A great fiery horse emerged just as gracefully as Persian had left. Rapidash planted its hooves into the ground, ready to fight.

To Roxanne's credit her Persian made a valiant attempt to withstand Alexis' attack but the feline had taken too much damage already and feinted after the Aerial Ace had struck. "Well done my beauty," Soren murmured as he withdrew his Absol.
He studied Roxanne's Rapidash carefully - it certainly was a powerful creature, fast as well he was willing to bet. He unclipped his next pokeball from the chain on his waistcoat and tossed it skyward. "Isis be a dear and say hello."
Soren's Fearow emerged with an elegant cry, beating her wings to gain a little altitude as she hovered over the field, fixing her opponent with a steely gaze. "Use Toxic."
Isis tossed her head and her long narrow beak opened, spraying a thick purple liquid down onto the battle field. Immediately a purple gas started to rise from the liquid on the ground, threatening to engulf and poison Roxanne's Rapidash. Soren's pale eyes watched his young opponent carefully, eager to see what she would do.

Now this was an interesting matchup- Rapidash v. Fearow.
"I may have never been, but I know a thing or two about Kanto Pokemon!" she grinned.
Fearow used Toxic, which both did and did not surprise Roxanne- she had not expected such an attack from a SPD Pokemon. But she was ready.
"Rapidash, Agility and Flamethrower!"
Rapidash raced over the acid on the ground and exhaled an orange plume of fire, causing the fumes to turn smoky. So long as Rapidash was exhaling fire and running, it could not be easily poisoned.
That, and hopefully the flames would smoke out the Fearow flying above.

Again Soren's eyes lit up when Roxanne barked her orders - she was using his own specialty against him. That Rapidash was fast, very fast and Roxanne knew exactly how to use that speed to her advantage. "Excellent, simply marvellous," he murmured. "Isis beat back that smoke!"
The elegant bird pokemon beat her large wings in slow powerful strokes, keeping the smoke at bay. "Now use Return!"
The Fearow let out an almost bell-like tone and swooped down in a graceful dive towards the Rapidash, a glowing aura surrounding her feathered form.

Fearow beat back the smoke with its giant wings and flew straight towards Rapidash, the Return attack growing stronger by the second.
"Ember attack!"
Rapidash spewed small embers at Fearow, trying to get it to maneuver around them. It needed to be centered just right...
"Megahorn!!!"
Rapidash kicked off the ground and its horn glowed brightly as it raced towards Fearow.

Fearow didn't even need to be told to dodge the ember attack, the graceful bird pokemon doing a quick barrel roll to avoid the attack - and before Soren or his poekmon could react Roxanne called out a quick Megahorn. Rapidash whinnied and charged straight towards Isis who was right in the line of fire having dodged the previous ember attack. "Blast it all!" Soren cursed. The horse like pokemon's glowing horn met Fearow head on. The collision sent an outward ripple of energy washing over the battle field, but it was Rapidash who proved the stronger of the two and sent Isis flying backwards across the battle field.
He winced as he watched her skid along the ground, her delicate bones jarred from the impact. She struggled to rise and for a moment managed to get to her feet, but seconds later she slumped forward in a dead faint. Soren sighed and withdrew his fallen pokemon. Isis had been trained for speed and attack - not endurance, she simply wasn't capable of taking big hits like that Megahorn. He gave Roxanne an acknowledging smile. "Well done Miss Jazek - it appears we're tied." he chuckled. "We'll have to remedy that."
Soren thought carefully for a moment before selecting his next pokeball. He normally kept this one in reserve, but having traded his Weavile for Tobias' Zebstrika (the zebra like pokemon remaining at his estate until they formed a more friendly bond) he'd brought out an old friend.
"Come on out Wilhelmina," he called softly as he tossed the pokeball skyward. A beautiful Swellow emerged in a flash of light, circling the battlefield once before perching on Soren's shoulder, nuzzling her trainer fondly. She was quite small for a Swellow, not being all that much larger than her previous form. He laughed and patted the bird's head before she took off into the air again, hovering over their side of the field. "After you Miss Jezek."
