All-Time Low (Open)

[KARP KARP!]

Ty stumbled down the street, not pass-out drunk, but not just a little buzzed, either. Hurt was evident on the man's face, and he felt horrible. Though the booze sort of eased the fact that he'd just tried to take complete advantage of a woman, and not only that probably ruined what little relationship he had left with Sen.

And here he was, walking down the street in his stupor, Zang to his front, leaning slightly on Blazer to his right, and Adrian on his left. All were there for their trainer, but each had a different motive. Zang was itching to fight, as usual. Blazer had never seen Ty like this before, and frankly, it worried the Arcanine. As for Adrian, the Luxray was fairly new to the team; she just wanted the attention.

While they walked, the three Pokemon conversed amongst themselves. Blazer spoke first.<We need to find an alley or something. He needs his sleep.>
<De only one who needs anyt'ing is da jerks dat did dis to Ty. And dey don't need sleep,> Zang replied.
<We'll worry about them later. Ty comes first.>
<Yeah, I know. But after. Dey will regret this.>

Adrian stayed silent; occasionally glancing at her drunk trainer. This was...definitely not the man's finest hour.

[Jay]

Teme walked with a sharp stride through the streets of Lexicon. She really needed to get back to work. Her money was running low again, and it was making her beyond edgy. Her eyes kept darting around sharply until they stopped dead. Having caught sight of Ty and his mass of pokemon walking him, Teme had stopped walking. That. Guy. Was on a wanted poster wasn't he? Ya. Five grand for him. A sudden rather sharp smirk came to Teme's face.

He looked drunk... which meant he was an easy catch. This was going to be like taking candy from a baby if she could pull it off. However, those pokemon may or may not pose a problem, and Teme knew it... Her usual tactic of 'shoot and ask questions later' could leave her with an Arcanine and a bunch of other pokemon after her... and though she knew damn well she could fight them all down, Teme was now realizing she could probably make this easier on herself.... and hell if it didn't go right, she'd just shoot her way out of it easy enough. Slowly walking over, she put on something of a face of calm concern. "What-......what's this?" she asked. "Are you alright?"

[SongofWindchimes]

[shadow=maroon,left,300]Faith[/shadow] Prisim Scarlet Muffy Willow Elegant Serenity

To hell with everything.

Faith Leonhard was roaming the streets of Lexicon, and she was pissed. She'd spent the night being the Rebels' little errand girl, and what had she gotten out of it? A few dead-end leads and having nearly lost her favourite pocketknife.

She'd go get drunk, but her money was beginning to run out. She didn't need alcohol, anyway. She needed adrenaline, and the feeling of bashing the teeth out of some jackass' mouth. Faith was itching for a fight, for anyone to come up and tell her they didn't like her face so she could break theirs.

Scarlet was of the same mind. The bright crimson Scizor was at her right, the steel insect's footsteps strangely feather light and the only sound she made being the scissor-like sound of her claws opening and closing. The look in her eyes made it clear that someone was going to get hurt tonight. The sharp contrast was the prancing, humming Leavanny on Faith's right, Elegant being quite content to enjoy the cool night without worrying about her trainer's fragile temper. Serenity was lumbering about behind, the Dragonite watching her trainer with large puppy-dog eyes.

"Faith," the dragon said gently, having long dropped the 'miss' at the woman's request. "Would this one perhaps not be out of line by suggesting you retire to bed? T'would perhaps do better after being angered by the undesired actions of others to be alone rather than to search for more."

A growl of, Shut up," was her only answer, and the dragon promptly did, falling completely silent as the tiny, thin blonde woman continued to storm down the street with her pokemon. She just needed to find some idiot, any idiot.

Then she saw them. Guy, girl, Arcanine, Luxray, Zangoose. Scarlet already seemed to be sizing them up. Faith headed right for them with a bellow of, "Comin' through! Move it or I'll make you, lovebirds!" Serenity very quietly cringed.

[KARP KARP!]

Ty managed to look at Teme. "No I ain't all right," he slurred. Blazer growled at the woman, while Zang stood there, ready for a fight, as usual. The Arcanine just didn't trust the woman.

Then, to make things worse...here comes a girl and her Dragonite...

Zangoose stood right in the way, glaring. <Ya know, I'd like ta see yous make me...>

"Oh greeeat...more crazy chicks..." Ty shook his head, looking between the two of them. His foot slipped, and he started to fall, but thanks to Blazer's positioning, Ty just ended up putting his weight on the Arcanine.

[Jay]

Teme's eyes narrowed sharply at the woman that was trying to push her way through, and right then and there, her mouth went faster than her brain. "Make me, you bitch," she hissed back rather quickly as her mood fowled rather quickly. Damn hell. Teme knew it would have been better to have just moved and focused on getting this guy so she could boot him off to jail, but she wasn't about to listen to some short wimply little blondie here. With a sudden surge of adrenaline, Teme found her fingers closing around the handle of her gun. She'd rather shoot than make it a pokemon battle seeing as it'd be much more effective just to take own the bitch in question. However, at the last second, she finally pressed a pokeball just right of the gun. A light broke out and what came as a rather irritated looking Granbull took form. Always ready for some sort of fight no matter the situation, precious little-big Angelica found her eyes zeroing in rather quickly on the Scizor near Faith. Her massive jaw was all but grinding itself against her skull itching for any sort of order from Teme to lash out and rip that dragon's head off.

[SongofWindchimes]

Scarlet hissed, raising her claws at the Zangoose. "You looking for broken bones, red-blood?" The look in her eyes made it very clear she hoped so.

Faith's teeth gritted. True, this was the reaction she'd been hoping for, but that did not make being called both crazy and a bitch within moments of eachother any more fun. Her target had initially been the man, but when the woman let loose her Granbull, the decision was made. "You want to dance? Fine. Scarlet, break that puppy."

The Scizor was off like a shot, charging claw-forward at that over-sized jaw with a Bullet Punch. Let's see how well the overgrown bulldog bit with a few shattered jawbones, she thought.

However, it seemed that another of Faith's pokemon had a slightly different idea. One of shadows behind the threatening Zangoose seemed to come alive as a jet-black Ariados hurled herself at him in a Shadow Sneak. Willow was not one to be left out a fight; the promise of them was really the only reason the melanistic spider hadn't made an assassination attempt on Faith yet.

[KARP KARP!]

Zang glared at the Scizor. <You t'ink your empty t'reats scare me? Ya's want me to be afraid? I will squash you, bug!> The Zangoose watched, kind of disappointed that the Scizor and the Granbull were going at it--he really wanted to fight...

Then, Zang got his wish, but not in the manner he'd hoped. He fall forward, hit by the Shadow Sneak. Quickly, Zang leaped to his feat. Turning in the direction of the attack, his eyes locked on the Ariados. <You just made da biggest mistake of ya' life, ya lousy...> Rushing at the melanistic spider, he aimed a Crush Claw.

Meanwhile, Blazer and Adrian took the opportunity to lead Ty off to the side, away from the chaos. Once Ty was lying down against the Luxray, the Arcanine watched, just to be sure he'd be ready if something came at his master.

Adrian, however, was busy checking out the males--all of them.

[Jay]

Angelica took the attack, and in another moment, Teme was issuing out an order. "Fire fang," she hissed back, and in another moment, the large bull dog pokemon had formed her fiery tooth attack and made to bite down on one of the stupid claws that had just punched her. <Stupid Bug> was grunted somewhere in the mix of it all.

In another moment, Teme herself was on the move, and in half a second she was darting straight at Faith ready to pretty much punch the woman. Screw stupid little slaps. Hell, this kid was lucky Teme hadn't simply pulled up her gun and pulled the trigger. However, the blonde haired woman was far to interested in leaving a bruise on that small little face and some broken bones on that thin frame to even think on the gun that remained so close to her at the moment. Teme was in to break some bones. No one, especially not some scrawny little kid, got away with assuming anything and simply leaving it at a pokemon battle.

[SongofWindchimes]

Willow's hissed, her form seeming to blur slightly. "Empty threats, dahling," came the purring, lightly-sccented voice of the black widow spider as she lunged forward at unnatural speeds to to try to slug the Zangoose with a Sucker Punch. Of course, that put her right in the path of the blow, but small price to pay.

Scarlet made no sound of pain, even at the feeling of flames leaping from the Granbull's jaws and licking up her arm. The extra weakness to fire was an unfortunate side-effect of her evolution, but Scarlet knew how to turn a weakness into a strength, which is why her other claw whipped around to try to smash into the side of the bulldog's face and knock her off with a Counter.

And Faith? She never assumed things weren't going to get physical on the human side of a fight. Before Serenity could even think about moving to shield her, Faith was tearing off toward the other blonde woman, ducking under the punch and trying knock her to the ground with her momentum like a tackling football player. Or at least knock the wind out of her a little.

Serenity and Elegant both hung behind, the latter quite content not to get involved and the former just a little overwhelmed and unsure if she was supposed to get involved.

[KARP KARP!]

Zang took the Sucker Punch, but gave the Ariados a smirk. <Wasn't a t'reat. It was a fact. And nuttin's empty about me, except my stomach. Wonder what bug tastes like...> Then, he aimed a Slash attack at the Ariados.


Ty curled up against Adrian, closing his eyes. Blazer sort of showed protest, but...he had to look out for the team.

[Jay]

Arceus damn it that had hurt. Angelica cringed in a great deal of pain from the retaliating move that hit her so viciously. Not only because of the force of the move's efforts against her own powerful attack but also the double effect of the fighting move had left the Granbull barely standing. Grimacing in another moment, the irritated bull dog refused to give up that easily and formed a Flamethrower and released it at Scarlet.

Teme, meanwhile, had been tackled, yet given the fact that she had been standing with one leg back (originally used to work with her first punch) she managed to remain standing if in a rather weird position as her back heel dug into the ground. Flinching a little as the general pain instilled itself upon her, Teme smirked a bit after that. It was going to take a lot more than that to take her down. "Not bad for a tiny thing," she smirked before suddenly seizing Faith's hair and making to yank it as hard as possible before pushing back on her back heel and using her free hand to try and shove Faith away at the same time.

[SongofWindchimes]

Willow skittered sideways out of the way of the attack as best she could, though Zang was clearly much faster and it did little to help. Something akin to a smirk crossed her arachnid face, however. "You talk too much, dahling," she purred, before spitting a length of string to try to tangle up the other pokemon in a Constrict...and gag that motormouth. That would at least give her the chance to put some distance between them by crawling up the nearby building.

Scarlet leaped back the moment her claw was released, wings spreading and beating furiously as she took to the air. She may not have been as fast as she was before embracing the Metal Coat, but she was still faster than some top-heavy canine. She split into two, then five, the rush of fire clipping one of her Double Team duplicates and forcing it to vanish, but missing the real thing.

Faith hissed like an alleycat when her hair was grabbed, her brown eyes narrowing to slits. The strands were brittle, and she could feel some them breaking and being pulled out as she was yanked back. It would take more than that to get her away, though; hair-pulling was a good idea in theory, but worked better when attempting to close distance rather than open it, and shoving her with only one hand just meant Faith could pivot with that force and attack from the side.

Of course, pivoting with someone grabbing onto your hair was rather difficult and painful, and so Faith did end up stumbling backward as well as to the side, but she still managed to throw a punch aimed at the other woman's jaw. And Faith had much more strength behind her punches than most would expect from a woman her size.

There was a look of growing horror on Serenity's face at the fist-fight. Faith was always saying she could hold her own...and Faith hadn't told her to attack...but...

A roar shook the area, and Serenity's wings pounded as her massive body rose in the air. She roared again and lashed her tail, a Tailwind starting to blow. This little brawl was about to be swept away in a hurricane from hell.

[KARP KARP!]

Zangoose managed to avoid the Constrict. Well…most of it. A nice sticky piece of web stuck right to Zang’s mouth, sealing it shut. Instead of attacking, the normal type tried his best to try and pull it from his mouth, all the while screaming muffled and incomprehensible threats.

Meanwhile, a tiny Darumaka had popped out of his Pokeball to see what the commotion was. …Ty out cold…Zang fighting…Blazer looking on…and…DRAGONITE. Panicking, Maka ran to Ty, grabbing his last two Pokeballs, releasing both Pokemon.

Cinder, upon seeing the Dragonite, let his back flare up, trying to look threatening while Brutus, the Rhydon, just stood there looking around.

Blazer, deciding it was time to help his ally-even if the Zangoose was annoying—and rushed at the Ariados with an ExtremeSpeed.

[Jay]

The irritated Granbull had had enough. She had been about to form another attack when the roar of the Dragonite and the Tailwind mentally made her cringe. Damn it this wasn't good to fight with so little energy left. And damn those winds were rushing in her ears and making the bull dog pokemon that much more irritated. Despite her rage at the moment, one rational thought did manage to come to Angelica's mind. Finally resolving into a Rest at least for the moment, the large canine fell asleep gaining back considerable health back in that moment.

Teme was punched, and though her nervous system was screaming at her medulla and cerebrum swear words of a kind that the body itself in all of its intricate making could ever hope to achieve, the blonde haired woman who had spent too much time fighting all her life, restricted herself to showing any sort of pain. That was a weakness she would not comply with. Growling deep in her throat something akin to almost a dog's growl, Teme brought up her knee and then made to kick Faith in the chest.

The Dragonite's roar barely even registered to Teme at that point, and all she remained focused on was taking down and beating up this annoying little bug. It was possibly due to this that Teme didn't even notice that her pocket had dumped out a considerable number of her pokeballs due to the motion of the kick. Though surprisingly enough the gun that was also there only slid a little and remained close.

The pokeballs that hit the ground rather sharply suddenly broke open and relesaed an Arcanine, a Combusken, and a Haxorus. All three pokemon were suddenly thrust into the battle as well. Pyre, the Arcanine in question seemed to get the idea of the situation rather easily as his eye zeroed in on the girl fighting. ....T_T.....Damn it Teme. Looks like he'd have to settle this out again somehow. Breathing out and then breathing in again, the large fire dog shook his head and then looked towards Angelica who was now asleep. Seeing the Scizor clones, he sucked in a good deal of air and then released a Flamethrower more or less more of a 'I'm your opponent' sort of statement rtaher than anything fully damaging just yet.

Rae, the Combusken in question, was far from amused with what was going on. Seriously. What the living hell. They could have been out partying and find some nice bo-....oh hello~! Ignoring the entire situation, the Combusken, had started over towards Blazer (seeing as Pyre was no longer fun to play with). <Why hello there hotstu-...> she had started before watching as the Arcanine took off with Extremespeed....Well.....Fuck. Crossing her arms in front of herself and pouting, the Combusken simply looked less than amused and didn't seem to register anything else in that moment in time.

The Haxorus that had been released might have possibly just got in between the two humans and force them to stop fighting. However, at that moment in time he caught sight of... .///////.''''''''' uh.... Dragonite? Erhm...uh...uh... <////<;;;; But... but... but... Trying to remind himself of the situation, Kaki tried... and tried hard... However, no matter what he thought on that point, he continued to find himself staring at the Dragonite. She... was so pretty, damn it......>>;;;; And suddenly he found himself moving to hide behind something just to watch her....

[SongofWindchimes]

Willow was in the middle of laughing when she was suddenly knocked off her legs by a blur of orange. Hissing, the spider righted herself and looked at the new entrant into the battle. The spider equivalent of wicked grin came to her face, and she headed toward the dog, her body swaying hypnotically... seductively... "You really should be more careful, dahling," she said as a particularly strong dose of pheromones hit the air and she poured on her full Attraction. "You could have hurt me, and you wouldn't want that, would you?"

Scarlet jerked back a little in the air as another of her duplicates shattered in a blast of fire. Only a matter of time before the real her was hit. She turned to look at the second Arcanine, and her only response was to fly toward him, her remaining copies splitting in another Double Team. Sure, he could fight her, if he could hit her.

The kick hit, and it hurt. Faith was knocked back, and tried to break her fall as best she could and roll away from any potentional follow-up blows. She sprang to her feet, a wild look in her eyes, trying to anticipate the other woman's next move. Pain? She had known different forms of pain every day for years, and the rush of adrenaline was doing a good job at keeping her numb. She didn't even notice that he fall had jostled loose her remaining two pokeballs and let loose her last two pokemon.

Muffy, the shiny Audino, looked around at everything with something akin to horror. "Oh, kittens, she whispered at the fight all around her. Her eyes found Scarlet, and she immediately reached out to send a Heal Pulse the way of the Scizor. Prisim, the Parasect, skittered back a little and didn't act right away; normally, Faith would be telling her what to do, but the woman was clearly preoccupied.

Serenity hurled herself down at the fight, a Focus Blast forming in her mouth, which she shot at the Zangoose. She let out another bellowing roar; everyone who laid an attack on her team would pay.

Elegant was still hovering on the outskirts of the battle. This was very quickly going to hell in a handbasket, if it wasn't already there and gone, and Faith was too busy trying to beat up some person she'd just met to even notice. Why did Elegant have to get captured by Faith of all people, and thought to herself; the woman was her own special brand of crazy.

[KARP KARP!]

Blazer glared at the Ariados, then suddenly...what was...this? He felt sort of nervous....warm and fuzzy inside. The Arcanine's gaze softened. <I...I don't know what came over me...>

Adrian glared in that direction. Oh, no. NO. That was NOT going to happen. She'd put too much focus on trying to break the Arcanine's childish nature to have him for herself. No WAY was some spider going to....

Leaving Ty, the Luxray stood, and took several steps forward, launching a Thunder attack at the Ariados.

Zangoose was hit full-on by the Focus blast; he never saw it coming. Glaring at the Dragonite, he formed an Ice Beam--something he'd probably kick himself for later. In the process, the web over his mouth was knocked off.

Maka and Cinder looked at each other, then at the mess, horrified. Was this even...necessary? In the middle of the street, no less... Brutus just stood there watching; the Rhydon refused to start a fight with anyone.

On the sidewalk, Ty was out cold, unconscious.

[Jay]

Angelica remained asleep and was having quite interesting dreams about the battle that she wasn't in at that point. Ah, poor dog pokemon, pft.

Pyre growled at the clones before forming an Odor Sleuth instantly kicking down the evasiveness of the Scizor with his hard core nose. Ah, it was good to be a dog sometimes. Sniffing out th real one, he turned sharply and formed Flame Wheel charging at the Scizor.

Teme hissed as Faith got back up and charged making to tackle Faith down like football player. In another moment, another fist raised and made to slam itself into Faith's chin. "You stupid bitch!" she shouted as her voice escalated in pitch from the adrenaline in her system and the general scream of her nerves as she raged. Whatever pent up emotions Teme had had were suddenly flowing forth, and she was taking them out hard and loud.

Upon seeing Muffy take form, Rae somehow instantly assessed her to be someone she could go cry to, and with that, the frustrated Combusken ran over. <I DON'T GET WHY GUYS KEEP IGNORING ME! ;A; > she all but screeched landing herself on her knees in front of Muffy and breaking down sobbing. It seemed that whatever pent up emotions she was having were being thrown on the wheel of chaos as well.

Kaki, the Haxorus, meanwhile just kept staring. She... was even beautiful while ushering out an exploding death ray of power ;-;... And now he was feeling horribly self-conscious, damn it.

[SongofWindchimes]

Willow's expression was immediately covered in false-tenderness, and she skittered a bit closer, lightly laying the tip of her long leg on the paw of the Arcanine she'd entranced. "It's alright, dahling," she cooed, her voice like honey, "I understand. I'm just such a delicate girl, jah?"

That was the point when the heavens, or rather Adrian, decided she did not approve and there was a crack as lightning came down to smite Willow. The spider was left laying on the ground, legs sprawled out comically, slightly smoking, and wondering what in the world had hit her.

She figured it out pretty quickly, and scrambled to her feet. Her legs shook slightly; the blow had taken its toll, but she still hissed threatening at the interfering Luxray. "That was uncalled for." She skittered a bit behind her infatuated thrall, not really expecting him to attack his comrade but fairly confident that he'd be upset with the Luxray. It'd buy Willow time, anyway.

Scarlet's duplicates vanished as the other Arcanine slammed into her. She hit the ground and skidded against it, her armor warped slightly from the heat. If Muffy hadn't given her the much-needed boost, she'd be out now. But as it was, Scarlet lashed out with a harsh Reversal, trying to knock the large dog away from her.

This woman was fast, but the distance that that kick had put between them also gave Faith enough room to move to the side and away from the tackle, just barely. The punch, however, hit just fine, and Faith tasted blood as she bit her tongue. She spat it out on the ground without a second thought, snarling like a beast before she lunged, aiming a fist right at her gut.

Face-punching made the puncher feel good, but unless things got particularly bloody and broken it didn't do so good to win a fight. Punches to the torso was what put jelly in a person's legs and made it harder to get their breath back in a scrap, and Faith was through playing.

Muffy blinked at the Combusken who suddenly ran to her and started crying. The Audino gave soft coo and moved to hug the fire type, patting her back comfortingly. "There there, it'll be okay. It's not you. Boys are just silly sometimes..." Not that Muffy really knew any that well, given that pretty much all of Faith pokemon were girls. The purple medic pokemon very carefully aimed a Heal Pulse at Willow over the Combusken's shoulder, then went back to patting.

Serenity roared in pain, dropping a bit in the air before she caught herself and ascended again. Who had...? But that was when she saw Scarlet at the mercy of an Arcanine, and she swooped down toward him, inhaling deeply before letting out her loudest, most terror-inducing Roar yet.

Elegant, somehow, in her inching around the battlefield, managed to find her way near the man's pokemon without fully realizing it, at least until she ended up lightly brushing against something that felt like stone, and looked up to see a Rhydon. She hopped away gracefully, hands raised defensively. "You're...not going to attack me, are you? Because I'll fight if I have to, but..." She left the sentence hanging, mostly because she wasn't sure whether she wanted to end it with 'I don't want to' or 'this whole thing is insane.'

[KARP KARP!]

Zang saw the Dragonite heading toward the Arcanine--though it wasn't Blazer. The Zangoose unleashed another Ice Beam at her, though he really hated to use Special attacks as opposed to physical. But, the Dragon needed to go down, and Zang was going to be the one to do it. And since he couldn't fly...

Blazer looked at Adrian, then at Willow, about to protest, but Adrian interrupted with a <Don't.> before turning her attention back to the Ariados. <No, that was necessary, this is uncalled for.> With that, the Luxray charged in, trying to hit the spider with a Fire Fang. Blazer could only watch in horror, really too out of it to realize why Adrian was even fighting for him.

Brutus looked at the pokemon that had brushed against him. <I don't start fights,> he said plainly. <Tha whole thing is just...Wha's the word? Not stupid, but...ah...> The large Rhydon thought a moment.

Cinder looked around, terrified, then turned his gaze back to Ty. <We have to get him out of here...> Maka looked at him and nodded. Then, the two little young Fire types scurried over to Ty, one on his left, one on his right. Maka and Cinder each grabbed a foot, trying to pull the unconscious man away from the scene. However, he was not budging.

[Jay]

The sharp Reversal hit Pyre, and the irritated Arcanine growled irritated before shaking his head. Damn that had been a messy attack. Forming another Flame Wheel, he charged again not willing to go down on such a move. By that time, Angelica was still asleep for one more turn, it seemed but had suddenly started to Snore rather loudly in some weird attack way, heh. Her dreams were on the battle still, and it seemed she'd managed a way to fumble herself back into it even when asleep.

The Roar that vibrated in Pyre's ears was enough to make him cringe for a good ten seconds after he'd finished his move as all of his hair went on end. However, he wasn't as spineless enough to go running into his pokeball because of that. Ironically enough, Angelcia somehow managed to sleep through the orar.

As Faith lunged, Teme twisted her form and raised her leg again before made to kick. Feeling knuckles collide with her side rather than her gut, Teme grimaced a little but refused let any sort of cry of pain come from her. Instead, she just forced herself forwards after that and made to punch Faith in the neck for even trying to knock her out. She wasn't going to be taken down by some small little-.....

Rae whimpered a little but was actually rather soothed by Muffy's pats. ;-; It just wasn't fair though. She could only get a guy when she used Attract... and that was just a play..... a tease... but but but why didn't they just even pay attention to her when she was trying not to use it. Suddenly hugging the Audino, the Combusken cooled a little....

Kaki was head/walling repeatedly as he looked around for something anything he could maybe present to the Dragonite to make a good impression. The fact that she was roaring and being intimidating only added to her beauty as far as he was concerned.
