After giving his orders to his pokemon Jake could only watch as his pokemon carried out their orders.  At least as much as they knew how to do.  When Ivysaur refused to use his whips to bind the pokemon, Jake almost got angry, before he slapped himself in the head with his palm.  Of course, Saur had no idea what Jake was talking about with bind.  Idiot.  He would have to train that move later.  It would be invaluable in team fights like this.  Though he still wanted to teach Ivysaur Solar Beam somehow.<br/><br/>Though Jake couldn’t help but be impressed as he watched his pokemon work together without his direct orders.  Also listening as his opponent got more flustered.  Yeah, his knew what they were doing.  One had watched pokemon battles with him as they grew up.  The other had survived in the wild, on these islands, for as long as it had lived.  They were both good.  He trusted them.  And they seemed to adjust well when one didn’t know what his order meant.<br/><br/>It was an amazing fight to watch as Saur distracted the poison pokemon enough until he collapsed for Eve to get in some heavy hits.  Taking one of the enemy down first after Saur went down.  Then She and the last opponent faced off.  She used her speed and agility to her advantage.  Avoiding the arboc’s strikes and returning with her own quick attacks.  Jake immediately called Ivysaur back when he fainted.  Pulling his pokeball out and activating the return function.<br/><br/>Just in time too.  Soon enough that he was able to watch clearly as Eve finished both of the opponent’s pokemon.  The Nidarino that Saur had started on, and the Arboc who tried the same attack that his trainer ordered.  Bad move.  Eve had seen it already and was able to dodge and attack in return.  Jake was glad he had worked soo hard on training Eve’s quick attack.  It worked.  Jake couldn’t help himself but cheer lightly when the fight was completed.<br/><br/>Imediately after Eve finished the last opponent she ran back over to Jake who knelt down and picked up his victorious pokemon where she could cuddle against him.<span style="color: #00b300">“Good job eve.  You have earned a nice long rest.”</span>He said, petting her once between the ears, to her before pulling out her pokeball and returning her to it as well.  Just in time for people to come congratulate him, starting with his Opponent.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00b300">“He was always strong.  I was barely able to catch him.  Plus he really enjoys battles like that.  Ones that are a challenge.  My Eevee was the real winner of that fight.”</span>Jake replied, a little bashful.  Especially with the rush of trainers coming to congratulate him.  Especially the cute girl who came by to congratulate him.  That one made him smile and blush at the look in her eyes at him.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00b300">“Well, like I said, Saur was always strong.  He was when I caught him, and has just gotten better when training with Eve.”</span>He said pausing.  Getting a bit of a breath.<span style="color: #00b300">“Eevee, I just had her train to her strengths.  Having lots of trees to have her jump between was good practice.”</span>All this was answering the girl’s question.  He would probably think about it later, but that wasn’t very good flirting.  More failure on his part.<br/><br/>Nowhere in the crowd though did he see Aisha or Evelyn.  Where had they gone?  Both had been watching at the beginning of the fight at least.  It was hard to miss Aisha.  He did see Steven though.  With a wave he greeted the other male of their party as well.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
