Kai had been distracted by the battle and the newcomer, staring at the box in his hands intently. He wanted to know what was inside so bad, and he was thinking of all the possibilities when suddenly the word "Raichu
[/b]" pulled him from his quick daydream. He stared blankly at Scuro for a long moment, regretting spacing out, and trying to figure out what might be a proper response when the aforementioned Raichu ambled closer. ~ Yes, I sure am.~ he agreed, grinning at the darker looking trainer and his weirdly round companion. ~ Much more graceful than my Trainer.~ " He-hey!" Kai frowned, but his eyes were smiling for him. Pulse liked to pick on him as much as Kai would casually throw him under the bus, " This is Pulse, by the way." he rolled his eyes as the orange mouse bowed at the introduction; having wanted a nice distraction from the battle behind him. He was afraid if he looked he might be tempted to help his new Oddish friend. The Skitty looked unphased by the two, did they think yelling out their plan of action would make it work better? If she had been able to, the Skitty might have blinked at the notion. Instead, she waved her tail (Leppa Berry still clutched in her grip) and let out a " Nya~" ....Either the Skitty was using Tail Whip or was just plain...Being adorable. [/center][/size]

Keeping on task was getting hard on both of them. Rowan winced at the Swablu's grinding voice, unsure if her aversion to it was simply due to her original bad attitude when they met, or because it was actually annoying. Either way, it rose over everything, and she found herself wondering what she was complaining about this time.
When she looked at the Skitty, her eyebrows came together slightly. Tail Whip? Lowered defense. She looked over at her Oddish, who had already loosened up. Nothing that cute could do much damage, right? "Keep yourself prepared and make sure she doesn't make contact." Rowan ordered her Pokemon, voice firm as she added, "Absorb again. If she dodges, use Sweet Scent. We have to end this battle quickly before your defenses drop too low."
The Oddish, who was also having troubles paying attention to the battle while she overheard the other Pokemon talking, tensed up again. She wanted to talk to this new Pokemon, and Pulse. She couldn't do that if she was in battle, so when she lunged forward again with another Absorb, she put full effort into it.

Ezio was just rotating without a care in the world while Adria was getting mad over his reaction. Then hearing Wyatt, Ezio just grinned at his response. <Sure!>
Scuro, looking back at Kai and Pulse, laughed that his pokemon had a sense of humor other than pulling pranks on people. He also noticed beforehand that he carried a box and held it tightly. He wondered what it was but didn't want to seem like a creep and just stare at it. So he just asked politely. "What's in the box?"
Shifting his eyes back to Rowan, he saw her face and saw she was tense. He knew battles were tough but this skitty was special and would not go down easily. He wanted to root her on, but he didn't know her at all. Besides, he didn't want to interrupt her.

Wyatt tries with his might to focus on the battle ongoing before him. He starts to notice tactics in battling as he sees the oddish falling prey to the skitty’s tail whip. Even Wyatt would easily fall for the attack. With Rowan’s strong tone in her commands, she manages to get her oddish back into the game. Wyatt starts to wonder what possible tactics he can pull of with his inexperienced bird. Based from his vast factual knowledge, Wyatt knows that Adria’s attacks are probably at the most basic level, being peck and growl. If their lucky, even astonish. Wyatt would need to learn to be creative with these attacks if he ever goes up against a tough foe. For now, Wyatt needs to learn from the ones who mastered the art a bit more than himself.
As Wyatt digests the battle and the other three having their attentions pulled around, a sneaky little fellow creeps in. It’s slowly crawling through the hedges making it’s way out towards the trainer. Just around the top most part of the leafy walls, an aipom pops out. He smirks at the sight of the shimmering box under Kai’s arm. The aipom quietly sneaks back into the hedges and makes his way down to the trainer. The purple monkey peeps through the openings in the leaves to pinpoint the location of the treasure. It’s before him just a two feet away from the hiding place.
The aipom decides to take a risk of exposing himself and slowly try to snag the box from Kai. His tail quietly pulls out from the branches and makes it’s way to the unexpected trainer. However, the tail’s length doesn’t match the distance the box is away from him. He creeps out from the bushes to make up the distance and manages to reach it. The aipom carefully coils the hand on his tail around the box to get a good grip. Then with all his might, the aipom pulls at the box, but was unsuccessful at the task. The grip which Kai has on the box is too strong for the small monkey and ends up falling out of the hedges. In shock, the aipom grips the box harder to prevent him from landing flat on the ground. He faces the earth below him as he rocks back and forth against Kai. With the shock, the aipom fails to run off and hide, which he probably should have. Now he’s stuck surrounded by 4 trainers and guilty with the attempt of theft.

Kai blinked at Scuro's question, unconsciously tightening his grip on the box (who knew what this stranger wanted, after all?). A lopsided smile was on his face though, only defensive about the physical box, "No idea!" he said, looking down at the locked box and then back at the trainer, "It's, uh. Locked." he laughed softly, though he wished he could answer. He was about to re-engage in some other topic when he felt a...tug. He glanced down, and saw an Aipom hanging from his box. "Uh." He thought about it for a quick second, and then narrowed his eyes, "Hey!" Pulse was staring at the Aipom from nearly eye-level, just as surprised as his Trainer. The Raichu was so caught up in conversation, he'd failed to even notice the purple monkey. It was purple for crying out loud. ~Hey, you better let go of that box~ he raised a paw, which began to spark in what the mouse hoped was a threatening manner. He was, after all, trying to be intimidating (but he was so handsome, sometimes it just didn't work).
The Skitty was hit, mildly annoyed, but was finding this (Game? Challenge? Provocation?) to be a rather enjoyable exercise. She bounced right back like nothing had really happened, though it had stung quite a bit. She danced on her paws a bit, before the Leppa Berry in her paw was lobbed at the Grass-type. Hoping that would be enough to distract the Oddish from the attack, the Skitty dashed forward in a Tackle.

The Oddish dodged the berry, expression confused. What had her opponent even been attempting with that..? Then, suddenly, she knew. Not before she had a Skitty barreling into her of course. She let out a squeak of surprise and tumbled back, skidding through the dirt for a moment before stumbling awkwardly to her feet.
"Sweet Scent anyways!" Rowan ordered, deciding that if she continued to use the same attack it'd become too predictable. Hopefully with the added edge, they'd be able to wrap up this battle quicker. The noises of yet another Pokemon behind her was beginning to gnaw on her curiosity, but she refused to let another thing distract her from the task at hand. Besides, she knew if she let her Oddish decide their tactics, they'd probably never win, and if they did it would likely be sloppy and inefficient.

Confused at this pokemon's intentions, all Scuro knew was that it was caught purple handed. Although Pulse had his paw up releasing static jolts of energy, it looked as if he was going for a high five with this large palmed Aipom. The box must have something valuable if even a pokemon would try to steal it.
Rowan still looked concentrated on her battled even though she looked curious as to what was going on behind her. Her Oddish was holding up well against the Skitty, despite it throwing its berry to confuse the opponent. Scuro just couldn't keep his eyes on the battle and decided to ask Kai, "Do you mind if I battle this Aipom?"
Ezio eyes grew while his smile turned to a grin at the thought of a battle with this pokemon. With Ezio all excited, Scuro pulled out his pokeball containing Celia and told Kai, "A friend of mine would really appreciate that pokemon if I got it for her." Although at the sight of Celia's pokeball, Ezio's grin and eyes slowly faded into a look of confusion.

Wyatt turns away from the battle to see what the hullabaloo is about. Adria tries to ignore everything still being upset about the slabber fest from earlier. She buries into the boy’s arms with despair trying to escape from what can come. However, Wyatt starts to shift around his arms making it impossible. Wyatt can’t help it, he’s shocked from seeing a little pokemon trying to steal away the treasure. Wyatt’s just as angry as Pulse now, wanting to give a piece of his mind to the little ballsy chimp. Despite his strong feelings, Wyatt’s shy and wearie personality prevents him from acting, not that it would matter with his lack of fighting knowledge.
The aipom, still hanging from the box, looks back and studies all the eyes that made their way on him. It’s way too late for the shady monkey to stealthily escape. He sees Pulse trying to threaten him with his charged paw in the air. The aipoms gives a disturbing smile back, like he has some kind of evil plot up his sleeve. The aipom releases the box dropping to the ground, but instead of landing flat on his face, the sneaky little bastard catches himself and starts spinning on the dirt like a breakdancer. As he twirls around in his head, the aipoms manages to pull his tail near to the ground and trips Pulses feet from the ground. It was a cheaptrip but easy to see through so the raichu might have managed to dodge it. The trick is only important as a diversion as the hop on all fours and tries to make his way back into the hedges.

Pulse was the one that looked up at Scuro with a disappointed look, because he knew the words that were going to tumble out of his Trainer's mouth. "Uh, sure. Yeah, go ahead." it was off-handed and casual, it was a little-known fact that Kai wasn't that fond of the Aipom species (he'd had several bad to annoy run ins with them before). But Pulse liked a good fight. He sighed, putting his paw down and getting ready to step back and let this new boy have all the fun when he felt his legs get swept out from underneath him. Pulse put his paws forward and rolled into it, immediately turning to shoot a Thunder Wave at the Aipom, on reflex. Even Kai was about to issue an order, but stopped himself. ~Oops.~ the Raichu murmured it almost as soon as he let the Thunder Wave loose (it wasn't guaranteed to work, but he felt bad having used a move after Kai consented the battle).
The Skitty tilted her head, and smelled the air. It smelled a little...delicious. Was that smell coming from the Oddish? Was it maybe not a Pokemon after all, but some kind of food? Hm. She bounced forward again, not sure of what really happened but determined to Tackle and get a closer sniff at her opponent (Dinner?). She was slightly distracted as she moved forward, however, the scent reminding her of the Leppa Berry she tossed and wondering if perhaps she might be able to reclaim it...

The Skitty's distraction was evident as she headed towards her, and it was not hard this time for the Oddish to step out of the way. Rowan gave the order just half a second before she used Aborb, the familiar green light encompassing her and shooting the short distance between them. It was pleasant, because in the attempt to take the other's energy, she took in the sweet smelling scent around her.
"She's close to you, so prepare yourself." Rowan warned, and her Pokemon buried her feet slightly into the earth. If Skitty attacked, her next move would end up being Growth. She had to be close to winning though, didn't she? She was getting tired, that's for sure, but what about this Skitty? Her eyes focused in on the Pokemon as if trying to determine how long the battle would be.

Scuro was appalled to see the Aipom trip Pulse but even more shocking was to see Pulse use Thunder wave even though Kai consented the battle. Scuro seeing the pulse of electricity jolt towards the Aipom paralyzed it on hit. It seemed as if it that move was unavoidable. Scuro wondered what would happen now. Ezio was even more confused because he thought he was going to battle and now it was someone else's battle. <Sigh, guess I have to watch now...> Scuro said, "It's okay, there will be others."
Shouting to Kai, "Your up, go and show that pokemon who's boss!" Scuro now had two battle's to look at but, he was biased and wanted to see Rowan's battle with the shiny Skitty.

[The strange little boy fumes up from the attempted attack on Pulse. He didn’t do anything do anything to receive such a rude treatment (aside from him threatening the monkey of course). Wyatt is confident that this situation will lead to another battle similar to miss Rowan’s with her faithful oddish against the rare colored skitty. All though Wyatt thought negatively towards pokemon battling, he can’t help but want to cheer on for this aipom’s defeat. This time around, the mechanical child will support any who opposed, slowly learning and understanding the principles of battling.
The frisky aipom almost made his escape till the electrifying shocks from Pulse impeded him. The wave of electricity rooted paralysis into the muscles, making him to convulse in place. “Damn it!” the monkey shouts as frustration and humiliation consumes him. He’s never been placed into this sort of dilemma. How can he let some cutesy furball get away with this. “No one embarrases me like that!” Escape is out of the question now, not when his pride is in jeopardy. While frozen from the attack, the aipom plans out his next course of action. There is no way in hell this swindler is going to let this event slide.

The Skitty took an elegant twirl to re-face her Grass-type opponent. She tilted her head at she took in more of the sweet smell...It was definitely coming from the strange bulb. After tilting her head to the side a few times, she thought it over. Considering her options, she dashed forward again - only this time she took a zig-zag approach, and about a foot away Rowan's Oddish she leapt. Though her intentions weren't a Tackle or any other attack she knew; if she were able to land she was determined to lick the Oddish.
Pulse looked sharply at the boy, flicking his ears, before turned his glare to the Aipom. ~No one trips me without getting beat.~ and took a stance like a boxer might. Kai sighed, he already ruined the battle for Scuro anyway...He might as well finish it. "Pulse, Thunder Punch!" the electric mouse grinned, drawing one paw back until it crackled with energy. ~Gladly!~ he took a step forward while he swung his Thunder Punch at the monkey.

The grass-type was startled at the approach, not due to how sudden it was but by how strange it was. What kind of attack was that? It looked more like a pounce than anything, and a cute one at that. Still, the Oddish lifted her leaves to defend herself at the last minute. There weren't words to describe her confusion when she felt a little tongue licking them. "Od~?" She was startled, but she didn't remove them, peaking out to her traine for some assistance.
Rowan lifted an eyebrow. Lick? Was that what was happening? Her Pokemon didn't look injured or paralyzed, and her opponent looked far from malicious. Regardless, she couldn't care less if it was trying to be cute. She was the wrong person to try and sway that way. She opened her mouth to command another Absorb, but thought better of it. <Oddish, Sweet Scent once more.> She finally said, deciding to play into what the wild Pokemon clearly wanted. Mostly she was just curious what would come out of it. Maybe the Skitty would get high and unable to battle, or would pass out in what appeared to be nasal bliss.

Scuro was confused seeing these two pokemon battles simultaneously. Rowan's battle with the shiny Skitty seemed odd considering the pokemon used Lick. Lick on an Oddiish, why would any pokemon do that! If that Skitty wanted to confuse someone, it got him. Nevertheless, Scuro continued to root Rowan on. "You can do it, Rowan!"
In the new battle with Kai and that Aipom, Scuro was still confused if that thunder wave was an accident. Even though he had his doubts, he wouldn't let that cloud his judgment. "Good luck, Kai and Pulse!!" Now, Scuro thought he would just hang out with Wyatt watching the battles.
