Muku winces slightly at Omega's wild claim to be a Pokémon Trainer and feels the strong urge to yell at Thel for some inexplicable reason, but it is quickly forgotten in the excitement of the moment. The open field of battle called to her like a clear open sky. Heart racing like a Zubat out of hell, she takes position. With a small turn of the wrist, she catches up Mmips Pokéball and presents it before her. "This is Muku's partner Mmip. Muku is not going to pretend like Muku knows what she is doing, but Muku is happy to try anyways!"
One flick remains, and with a flash of light, the beautiful form of a pretty poppet of Hoppip appears, fierce and mighty!

The three women each give their own flavor of flighty twirl and release a trio of similar appearing Pokemon, though there are some vast differences between them. The leader, Ophelia, a thickly ruffed, poofy tailed fox looking canid in vivid reds and oranges. Her associates, a pale yellow and green beleafed creature with deep brown eyes, and a light blue finned creature respectively. "Now we issue our commands, and allow the battle to unfold as it will. Good luck Pokemon Trainer Omega, and friends Thel and Muku."
(Initiative is Hope, Mmip and Leafeon will need to roll off, Fang, Flareon, Vaporeon. Starting range is 6m to enemy contact, with them separated 2m from each other. Flareon is centered, Leafeon is left, Vaporeon right.)

Okay... okay, he knows this. Red is fire. Fire torches bugs. That's what he did, after all. So avoid the red one. The leaves... uh, bugs eat plants? Well, most bugs. Some were a bit feistier. And blue usually means water. Something that he would avoid, but Hope should be fine. He's not sure exactly what to do. Vague memories of seeing trainers flicker back. It was mostly them telling their Pokémon to do things. He wishes he paid some better attention, but it seemed much more important to run and hide at the time. Who would have ever known it would come in handy to have that knowledge? "Alright," commands, commands, she said to command... "Hope... uh, please get the blue one, if you can." Oh, he hopes that he did this right. He probably should have waited for someone else to speak, but he's so nervous, so he kind of just blurted it out... The Cutiefly at least seems to understand, sending a pinkish-silver gust that he'd seen it practice with before at the blue Pokémon. Thel has Brutal Training active. Hope uses Fairy Wind on Vaporeon. 14 vs AC 2, for 26 Special Fairy Damage.

"Go Mmip! I believe in you! Show the green thing who is boss with ah... Something! Literally anything!" Mmip does a soft smile, lifts into the air, and sheds off a glimmering display of silvery dust, a secret trick of the Hoppip of the Wandering Air Tribe! Muku gives Mmip some Brutal Orders! This will presumably happen ad nauseum. Silver Wind, go! Mmip splashes and... Mmip used Silver Wind! | AC: | VbChbhlz1d20+Accuracy Bonus ≥ 2 + Target Evasion | Type: | Bug | Frequency: | At-Will | Damage: | 2d6+13 | Crit Adds: | 2d6+8 | Damage Category: | Special | Range: | 6, 1 Target, Spirit Surge | Effects: | Silver Wind raises each of the user's stats by +1 CS on 19+. |

" Fang, stop the green one in their tracks!" Omega yells out, nearly running forward himself. It felt wrong to be standing back and not fighting beside his Fang. His muscles pulled in the direction of the fight but his pride kept him in place. This was it, his chance to prove to Thel that they did have a chance against Morty. And also he didn't want to lose his jacket. The Shinx moved forward, low to the ground, before pouncing forward at the Leafeon with ice crystals forming in its mouth. Fang uses Ice Fang. 8 vs AC 3 for 29 physical Ice damage. Omega uses Brutal Training and will every turn from here on out.

The Leafeon bounds gracefully to one side as Mmip's wind tousles it's leaves dramatically, taking on a haughty expression, head high, muzzle turned to one side. "Good dodge Flora! Let's get in and attack Fang with Razor Leaf!" "Bubbles, give Flora a Helping Hand!"ZemkjZZB1d20+2 Razor Leaf Vs. Fang (Crit on 17-20) 2d6+29 Grass Physical "Torch, light up that little dewy eyed bug!" Ophelia announces in a husky voice, getting fired up. 1d20 Ember Vs. Hope 2d6+22 Fire Special Damage
Fang's return strike is brutal and crippling to the poor grass type! It lets out a whine and stiffens in Fang's jaws. (2 Injuries, 24 Damage) Vaporeon blinks a few times at the insect and squints irritably at it, but otherwise doesn't seem nearly as bothered.

Thel greatly admires the confidence of the women across the field from him, how they manage to command so effectively and with such conviction... unfortunately, it leads to Hope getting burned, quite badly. He can see that the bug is barely holding on.
But... he can't give up. He has to hold on, for Muku. "Come on, Hope. We have to do this. Please, just... hold on, okay?"
The bug seems to try and do its best, sending some energy towards the blue fox-thing, but to no avail.

"Don't lose hope!" Muku cries out, cheery as ever even as the prospects of her losing her shirt inches ever closer to a grim reality. But lo! The grassy one seemed kind of hurt, right? Well, maybe. She saw as Fang chewed in deep, maybe deep enough to end up putting that one down under in another attack. Even Muku could tell that! So, maybe the other one would be a better target. "Ok, ok! Muku! Mmip! Switch targets! Use grass powers and drain the water!" And ah, well. She does the thing! Go Mmip! Brutal, Splash yadayadayada. Absorb!

Omega reacts as though he had been hit as well when Fang took the leaves. Bloodied, but not giving up, the Shinx began to growl and continued to grow ice crystals in its mouth. " Fang, keep holding on and rip into them again!" The Shinx kept an eye on the Leafeon, watching its every move as it danced away before leaping onto it again and biting into its flank. 18 vs AC 3 for 27 Physical Ice damage and an effect that doesn't matter because KO

"Oh, please, Hope, I know you can do it," Thel says, with a confidence he really doesn't feel. This was all going so badly. Why did he think that they could beat three ladies? They only had one on their side, and she didn't have the same experience as the three over there. Ohhhh… they're going to lose, and Muku will be mad, and he screwed up, and... Hope, at least, can't hear his internal monologue (well... maybe, the aura sight might give her an inkling), and so continues for the Vaporeon, hoping to get some energy back. Hope uses Absorb on Vaporeon. 13 vs AC 2 for 18 Special Grass Damage.

Another volley of attacks exchanged, leaving Fang and Flora both lying defeated, the Leafeon sprawled dramatically out on it's back. One of it's eyes peeps open briefly to glance at it's trainer, who frowns at the gesture, and it resumes lying there with eyes closed. Mmip takes an incredible hit from Torch.
"A very important thing about battles, about teamwork in general, is covering each other's weaknesses. There are many types of Pokemon, and while their strengths help them shine, type effectiveness plays a huge role in battles!" Ophelia explained helpfully. "It was an honor to be your first opponent, sing for them Torch!" "You too Bubbles!"
In unison the Pokemon struck up a growling melody, heads back, seeming to have a great time with this despite the water type's injured state. It hardly seemed to notice Hope's successive attack, but they came out of their celebration.
(Mmip's turn).

Oh dear Arceus no, not singing!!! Muku grits her teeth hard and points dramatically downfield! "Hah! It's not over yet! We can still win this, maybe!" She looks across the battlefield in earnest. This was going pretty bad, badly. That red one was tough! Really tough! Maybe if they could take out the blue they could maybe stand a chance, but even if they could, would they would? Oof! Maybe Ophelia was right. Maybe they needed some teamwork. She swallows hard and turns to Thel. "Thel, Thel! Flock tactics! See if you can get glitterbug in close, and I'll have Mmip on the other side on the wet one to distract! Bird tactics!" Then, after several beats of conversation, she finally issues a command to Mmip, sending her in close to do the green drain thing again. Maybe it would work as well as last time! Brutal, Splash, probably not flanking yet, but going to try to set one up. Absorbing that Bubbles!

The Vaporeon begins to flag after still another hit, the Flareon settling back on it's haunches and applauding the performance nonetheless, a glow suffusing the finned canine.

The water should not have hurt Mmip as much as it did, but boy did it HURT. Mmip's stamina reaches a breaking point as her tendrils whip out once more to attain perhaps just a bit more energy to survive the fight. Brutal, Splash, Maybe Flanking! Absorbing Bubbles!

Thel's morale is flagging, especially given that it looks like they aren't even really taking down the other Pokémon. This is hopeless, he concludes, sighing. But... Muku still believes in them. So, he has to fight for her. To maybe try and pull something off... but... ugh... Hope at least, does not give up, moving to support Mmip against the Vaporeon, floating up bravely next to the large Water Pokémon, before doing her best to absorb more energy. Absorb on Vaporeon. A critical hit, for 24 Special Grass damage.

With several more successive hits, Bubbles falls over and lies still. Torch stands proud and tall center stage. "This has been fun kids, but you should surrender now. You've shown your entire suite of attacks, and nothing you have will even lay a scratch on Torch. For your Pokemon's safety, gracefully accept your loss and we can discuss an alternative to going topless."

"Muku wouldn't mind going topless. She's done it before." She says with a shrug. But as for her Pokémon, well... "Mmip, is that all you know? Do you think you could fight?" Mmip turns with a cheerful, if not a bit singed smile that seemed to say, 'I am literally burning alive right now, but hey, maybe if you want me to go down in a blaze of glory, whoo boy howdy am I in a lot of pain'.
She wanted to smile back, but nervousness began to win out and there were a lot of humans watching her. So many. Were all battles like this? Moving instinctually towards Omega, she whispers to him softly. "Muku thinks the pretty lady might be right. Is losing, but not losing a shirt bad? Muku wouldn't like to see Mmip get too hurt..."

Omega placed a hand on Mukus shoulder "A strong hunter knows not just the best time to attack, but also the best time to retreat. We can't win this fight. I.." He looks to the ground and grits his teeth "I failed both Fang and the two of you and went down first."
He holds his jacket out ahead of himself towards the dancer "This is yours now. We lost"
Looking back at Muku and Thel, he forces a grin, looking much more defeated then before "I guess you two are both better trainers than I am. Good job"

"I..." Thel really wants to just end this. He doesn't like seeing Hope getting hurt (which is an odd feeling, considering that he was thinking about making a meal out of the bug just a few days ago). "I want to do what you ask, Lady Ophelia... I really do. You are clearly the far stronger one here. But, Lady Muku put something on the line, and is counting on me. I agreed to help her, and fight, and I have known her for longer... so, as long as she wants to continue, that's what I'll do. If she agrees to stand down, and defer, then I will gladly do so." He takes a deep breath. This is very much conflicting to him. "I'm sorry."

With Omega saying that this was a good time to stand down, Muku's form visibly relaxes. That was good. Good! She didn't feel like she had to keep fighting then. Or maybe, keep Mmip fighting. That one. It would seem that crispy flambé Muku was not on the menu tonight, despite how tasty it sounded to eat her. But hey! That didn't happen. She gives Omega's hand a tight squeeze. "It's fine. This is all fine."
Muku steps onto the field of battle, and clucks her teeth to call Muku over, then proceeds to clutch the beautiful baby in her arms. Despite how upset her more masculine companions seemed, her opponents didn't seem nearly as... Invested? Maybe. She gives her comrades a quizzical look. It's as if they'd never fought before. And those little guys seemed a lot more powerful than they were acting... She shakes her head and smiles. "Yep!~ I think Mmip has had enough. But it was fun! This was a good battle, right? We did ok?"
