Arbok's threatening bind had Bulbasaur immobilized, but before the Pokemon could land a blow, it's mouth was snapped shut by Ivysaur. Arabok gave his head a shake, but Ivysaur had returned the wrap with an improvised wrap of his own!<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #0000ff">Hm, so always Wrap an Ivysaur's bulb. Very interesting...</span>" Eleyna mused with a fist beneath her chin and hand on her hip.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #5900b3">H-hey he can't do that! Nidorino, get in there! Poison Jab!</span>"<br/><br/>The Poison Pin Pokemon gave a resolute nod and charged, giving a valiant cry as it aimed it's horn at the Ivysaur. The Pokemon's brusque trainer knew all he needed to do was land one Poison attack on Ivysaur and the grass Pokemon would be in trouble!<br/><br/>But Eevee was quick, and as Jake told her to go for the feet, the fox Pokemon Quick Attacked in a puff of fur, catching the Nidorino low! The Pokemon hit the ground, recovering quickly and turning a glare upon Eevee.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #5900b3">Damn, forget the Eevee! You gotta take out that Ivysaur!</span>"<br/><br/>Arbok and Ivysaur exchanged minor blows as the snake tightened it's wrap, and was slapped about by Ivysaur's Vine Whip! But the grass type attack was proving ineffective against the poison type! Nidorino charged with Poison Jab again, even closer now! It leaped and drove it's horn forward, no longer bound to the ground and unable to be tripped by Eevee. But as the Nidorino was about to land the devastating blow, Eevee Tackled it mid jump, throwing both combatants sprawling!<br/><br/>The Cobra Pokemon's wrap ended, and Ivysaur was freed!<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #5900b3">Arbok! Glare! Take down that Ivysaur!</span>"<br/><br/>Arbok turned it's a Glare upon Ivysaur, who stiffened under the Cobra Pokemon's gaze! There was a one in four chance that Ivysaur would fail his attacks and evasions!<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #0000ff">Hm...</span>" Eleyna pondered to herself, "<span style="color: #0000ff">It's a good idea to focus the Ivysaur and take him out of the fight... but not with Eevee on the field. Both of his Pokemon are resistant to grass type attacks, which means even with Ivysaur in the battle, his effectiveness is limited. But Eevee's isn't. He's made a critical error, he should have made the less obvious choice and attacked Eevee,</span>" she concluded.<br/><br/>But as the battle raged, a call went out across the crowd and heads turned. Slowly, Eleyna turned her gaze upon the trainer who issued a challenge to her. When he beheld Aisha standing before her, Eleyna was wide eyed and confused. But a glimmer appeared in her eye and a grin upon her lips as she ran her fingers across the brim of her hat, the Boulder Badge gleaming! She cracked her knuckles and set her stance wide, planting a hand upon her hip and pointing grandly, sun blazing above!<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #0000ff">I, Eleyna Raven, accept your challenge! Rock arena, let's go!</span>"<br/><br/>And with that, she dashed across the crowds of trainers, finding the rock arena battle having just ended. Two more trainers were heading to their positions when Eleyna bolted to one and promptly booted him off.<br/><br/>"Ow - what is this, anarchy?"<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #0000ff">No... this is a Pokemon battle. Alright! Let's do this!</span>" Eleyna grabbed the Pokeballs on her belt. This was it, what she'd been waiting for her entire life! Every moment had built to this, a real Pokemon battle! Trainer vs. trainer! "<span style="color: #0000ff">What's the rules, Aisha?</span>"<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"<span style="color: #5900b3">Oh, no the alpha model is collapsible. See, the joints there and there.</span>" He pointed. At her following inquiry, he scratched his chin and his brow rose. "<span style="color: #5900b3">Hm, I don't think we'd considered using electric Pokemon... I guess it could theoretically work...</span>"<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #5900b3">Well, I mean... uh, I'm responsible for the prototypes and uhm... not sure I'm allowed to...</span>" He stammered, trying to find a way of dodging her request. Then he got a view up her skirt and lifted his arms. "<span style="color: #5900b3">I uhm... erh... uh, sure, yeah. Why not? Ehm, like you said! Need to test in in various... ehm, conditions.</span>"<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #5900b3">I've, uh, I've got two! You know, backup in case this one breaks down. You can, uh, take that one! Here, I'll show you how to collapse it.</span>" He kneeled down next to Naomi, and after she scooted out from beneath the device, the engineer hit a pair of switches. "<span style="color: #5900b3">See, this over here, slide this in... and listen for the click... ah, there we go. A bit awkward, but that strap there, you can carry it on your back, on your shoulder, or even have a large enough Pokemon carry it for you! It's all ultra-light materials to save weight. Compromised the chassis a little, but as long as you don't smash it with rocks it should be fine!</span>"<br/><br/>"<span style="color: #5900b3">Hey, so let's go get that other unit! It's uh, it's over here past... uh, past the hill.</span>" He lifted the collapsed healing station onto his shoulder and began away from the fields. It was a bit of a walk, and for a moment Naomi had to wonder where exactly the man was taking him. And what's more, was there some ulterior motive at work!<br/><br/>But as they crested the hill, she saw a full blown Devon Corp helicopter. Sliding the rear door open, she saw an array of instruments, and locked in a bin, a crisp, clean, brand new Alpha-Phase Portable Healing Station.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
