[Video]
[Faetan never did get Renge's name. Probably because she didn't bother to ask. So instead she just raps the video screen a little with her knuckle, addressing the public at large. Like she cares if other people see it.]
Hey. Girl, whatever your name was. I've got some free space for a battle if you haven't changed your mind.

video;
At least I assume you've been keeping up. You seem the type.
video;
What a waste of time!
[She rudely hangs up.]
[Video]
[Video]
[She looks pretty darn pleased about that. Faetan might not have much respect for women in general, but she can appreciate the fighting spirit at least.]
You're prepared to lose again?
[Video]
[Kodachi smirks.]
Oh, but I have no intention of losing, dear. In fact, you are going to pay two-fold for the embarrassment you have put me through!
I challenge you! Same venue as before!
[Video]
[She makes an idle beckoning motion.]
We can go again. My team's even stronger than it was before.
[Video] -> [Action]
As is mine, of course. I shall see you behind the Fayren tavern!
[She ends the feed and is awaaaay!
And she arrives at the scene sitting sideways atop her three foot tall, bulky Grotle. It wasn't super fast, though, so she didn't summon him until they were close enough for her to look amazing.
She's adorn in a black kimono, and in her hands rest a small assortment of pokeballs.]
This time.. I shall win for certain!
[Action]
[Faetan regards the kimono with such OBVIOUS disapproval. Who would wear something like that? Under other circumstances, that would mark Kodachi as the perfect target for a good old-fashioned highway mugging, but they're not here to fight. Their Pokemon will take care of that.]
You're going to eat those words. You want to go first, or shall I?
[The width of her toothy grin indicates she'd be only too glad to toss out her Pokemon first.]
Re: [Action]
Shall we settle this with our three best?
[She slips off her grass pokemon, then with a flick of her wrist she's holding a black, rose-print folding fan.]
Well the saying does go 'ladies first'... And that would undoubtedly be moi!
[Action]
[Faetan is already drawing out one of her Pokemon. Three best, huh? That cuts down on the variety, but sure. She'll unleash the one she's sure Kodachi knows best. The Pokeball for Pineco is up and ready to be dropped, unless Kodachi beats her to the punch.]
[Action]
[Kodachi already has her three in mind, Bronzor, Staravia and Budew. If Faetan starts with Mudkip, she can switch out for sure!]
Go, Bronzor!
[The bulky, shield-like pokemon bursts from it's pokeball!]
[Action]
Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii--
[It's only her third strongest, being at level 20, but it has some nasty moves that she likes. There isn't much any of her Pokemon can do against a steel type, but she knows Bronzor is psychic too. There's a move that's good against psychic types.]
Chomp down with that Bug Bite attack.
--iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiineco?
[It obeys, and leaps forward with a mouth full of sharp pointy teeth.]
PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
[Action]
The giant maw clamps down upon the shield-like pokemon, and somehow conveys looking pained. However once it wriggles free and stands upright, Kodachi breaks out into a banshee-like fit of laughter.]
Oh my! Were you thinking that a bug type attack would obliterate my shield, perhaps? His being half-steel makes it normally damageing!
I think it's time to put that beast of yours to sleep! Bronzor! Hypnosis!
[Bronzor proceeds to emit a soothing gong. So soothing it may very well put it's foe to sleep!]
[Action]
[Pineco's rabid gnawing soon turns to gentle gumming as it gnaws sleepily, eyes starting to drift close. So...sleepy...]
DON'T YOU DARE GO TO SLEEP YOU LAZYASS PINECONE OR I'LL MAKE A BIRD FEEDER OUT OF YOU!!!
Pinepinepinepinepine!
[Frantically the poor Pokemon goes back to chewing. See? It can be a good Pokemon! Praise it! T_T]
[Action]
[Kodachi raises the long sleeve of her kimono to her lips and shakes her head. She's no animal rights activist but still!
She's not given much time to rethink her strategy.]
Bronzor, feint attack!
[And it abruptly goes limp. As limp as it can, at least. But being a feint, Bronzor then starts spinning and spinning and spinning until Pineco can't keep it's hold!]
[Action]
All right. Fine. Time to use that attack?
[Pineco SIGHS, then wobbles and wibbles back into the center, and starts to...shimmy? What's it doing? Just shaking around in place.]
Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...
[Action]
[Kodachi replies with such cheer in her tone. Though, she's not exactly certain what's to come with the other pokemon's next attack. Almost comically, as her brow lifts, Bronzor's right eye raises a bit higher.]
Oh? And what might this be? The legendary 'Flail' attack?
[Action]
[She wants Kodachi to catch a little collateral damage, now that Faetan is nice and pissed off.]
That'll do. Self-Destruct.
Co.
[Boom.]
[Action] 1/3
[Kodachi breaks out into the most obnoxious laughter with the back of her hand raised to her mouth.]
DID YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD GRANT THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF MER-
[Ka]
[Action] 2/3
[Action] 3/3
And when she lowers her sleeve, all the frazzle-haired gymnast sees is an impact crater from the explosion, and her own out-cold pokemon in the center. Her shoulders slouch and her brow twitches.]
....
[Action]
[Faetan laughs raucously, broad shoulders shaking as she outright guffaws. Never mind that her own face is smoke-blasted, and that her already wild spiky hair is now intensely moreso, jutting straight back with a stiffness that almost makes it lethal to the touch.]
How do you like THEM apples? All right, Pineco, enough!
[It's too unconscious and exploded to respond, and swirly-eyed, it disappears back into the Pokeball while Faetan switches to another. She gives it a toss.]
Mienfoo, your turn!
[A cat-like Pokemon leaps out, holding up its paws in a classic Wushu fighting stance.]
[Action]
But she's the most mad that it was just so.. Brilliant. She's going to steal that tactic. Somehow!]
NnnggGGGHHHH!! This is not over yet! Staravia!
[Kodachi stamps her foot, the young gymnast just short of throwing a tantrum. She's ready to flying kick Faetan in the face! Instead she recalls Bronzor, then tosses out her next pokemon, her level 23 Staravia.
The black and white bird bursts from his pokeball, and circles Kodachi after.]
Now, wing attack!
[After the second circling, the flying type soars with great speed past Mienfoo with a striking attack that sends a burst of feathers flying!]
Re: [Action]
[Mienfoo yowls as it gets bowled over, smearing through the dirt and picking itself up with a little growl.]
Swift Attack!
[The creature spirals, hurling a blizzard of streaking stars at its opponent.]
[Action]
She thought she had the edge, but once Meinfoo manages to land a hit on Staravia, it spins out like it was shot from the sky and crashes hard to the ground! It's clear rather quickly the difference in power.]
Ohhh.. [The young lady nibbles her lower lip, and her hands clench tightly into fists.]
You can do this, Staravia! Go for another wing attack!
[The bird gets to it's feet, and stumbles a bit. He shakes the cobwebs from his head, then spreads his wings! In the blink of an eye the flying-type rockets toward Meinfoo, then once again blasts by with a flurry of feathers bursting from the impact! Did it connect..?]
[Action]
Force Palm the hell out of that thing!
[Mienfoo gives a fierce, brief nod, paws held at the ready. As Staravia dives in closer, the karate kitten spirals in place and drives a firm, open-handed strike at the bird, just as it divebombs for the attack. Both are sure to be reeling, but she's counting on her Pokemon being the one left standing. Otherwise it's going on a berry super diet after this!]
[Action]
Kodachi coughs as she waves the bit of cloud away from her face, only to find that the bird pokemon isn't even in the makeshift 'ring' area! She looks around, though is left feeling disappointed she finds Staravia on his belly and knocked out cold.]
.. Rrgh.
[Action]
Ha! Looks like you should have trained your pets a little harder.
[Griiiiiiiiiiiin.]
I'll let you give up now, if you want to salvage your dignity.
[Action]
[Well now it was up to her champion. Faetan does have a slight advantage, but her next pokemon may be able to pull off enough tricks to pull out a win!
With a slightly worried expression, Kodachi tosses out her next pokeball, which releases her super cute level 29 Budew!]
Budew!
It is a little early to call the match over, dear, now you are up against my secret weapon! Drain that cat dry, Budew!
[Budew hops as it spits green, sparkling energy at Meinfoo, then takes in a deep breath Kirby-style to suck it all back in; ideally along with a tasty portion of health!]
[Action]
TAKE DOWN!
[She makes a fist, commanding her Pokemon to hurl itself bodily at its happy little smiling asshole opponent.]
[Action]
She has a chance. They can do this! Once the pocket monster launches itself at the bud-type, and it's quite some impact! Kodachi merely looks concerned rather then freaked out. It's her secret weapon for a reason after all.
Budew goes tumbling backward! He looks knocked for a loop as it is quite a hard hitting attack!]
You can do this, Budew! Giga Drain that twit as well!
[He shakes himself out, then hops as it spits out another burst of sparkles, and attempts to withdraw Marshtomp's health for itself!]
[Action]
[Action]
Aaaaahh!! Yes, that is it! It's working! Budew, you are invincible!
[With a fist raised, she leaps in delight as Budew, while looking utterly clueless to the danger, rolls backward like a ball during the tackle, then hops around in delight. Without delay, Budew unleashes one more Giga Drain attack, followed by a squeak-like burp.]
[Action]
[Faetan's snarl of dismay echoes loudly through the alleyway as her Pokemon topples over, swirly-eyed. She wants to pick up her Pokeballs and throw them in the trash, or set Kodachi's Pokemon on fire, or just plain gut Kodachi.]
[She's a sore loser.]
[Though she's boiling over with rage to the point where her fists are visibly quaking with the urge to just HURT something, she satisfies her violent tendencies by kicking over a barrel with a frustrated roar.]
Get out of the way.
[Stuffing her Pokeballs into her pocket, after recalling Marshtomp, Faetan storms out of the alleyway, deliberately shoulder checking her opponent.]
[Truly the sorest of losers.]
[Action]
Budew!! You've done it! Come here, darling!
[Budew is more than happy to do so, Kodachi holds him into the air and twirls around- Just in time for her opponent to practically knock her to the ground. Thankfully she merely stumbles, but her eyes go wide as she reaches for... Something in her obi.]
Why you little witc--
[Ker-flash! Kodachi yelps as her Budew starts to glow, and even drops the poor thing as she stares down in shock. Once it clears, the bud has bloomed into the thorny Roselia!]
