“Of course.”  Jake confirmed when Brollem told them not to interfere or give advice.  Jake had no plans of that, at least not before the end of the fight.  As soon as people started coming to the field he moved off with the others to take a seat nearby in clear view of the fight.  Immediately he also summoned both his pokemon from their rests in the pokeballs.<br/><br/>Eve hopping into Jake’s lap where he sat crosslegged near the field.  The bulbasaur took a seat infront of Jake.  Both fell silent as soon as they realized what was happening.  Both had their full attention on the battlefield as soon as the challenge started.  Bulbasaur especially was watching two strong pokemon fight.  Watching for their strategy, and ways to beat them.  Jake’s eve had one because he hadn’t known how she fought and she had surprised him with the teamwork.  He would not lose again.<br/><br/>Eve was watching because battles were fun to watch.  Especially if they weren’t like her fight with the bulbasaur.  Actual gym battles.  Though Jake couldn’t be sure, but as he watched, it looked like Brollem was holding back.<br/><br/>As the fight progressed, Both Jake and Bulbasaur watched the strategy used… though the Growlithe didn’t seem to really use any strategy at all.  Just anger and rage.  He was blind to Primape’s favoring of his leg.  Until, at last, he started listening to Eleyna.  The Battle quickly changed to her favor after that.  A very good use of the smoke screen won the battle.<br/><br/>It was finally over, and Jake couldn’t help but bring his hands up and clap out a congratulations to Eleyna.  At least before he stood and started to walk over to where Brollem was.  Jake couldn’t resist though walking over to Eleyna first.  Especially not when he saw Aisha ‘bounce’ over to her all hyper active.  Before he could even say anything he watched as Eleyna basically got crushed against that large soft chest.  Jake was immediately jealous and wished he was in Eleyna’s position.  Eve immediately saw the attention and of course let her version of a laugh out.  The Bulbasaur just rolled its eyes.<br/><br/>That whole interaction seemed to interrupt Eleyna and her talking to Naiomi.  Jake walked up on the end of that discussion before Aisha came bouncing in.<br/><br/>When they finally separated Jake came closer.<span style="color: green">“Congratulations.  That was an amazing battle Eleyna.”</span>Sounding much calmer than the hyperactive Aisha.  He took a moment to get that way.<br/><br/>Jake looked off and followed the sound of the whistle and listened to Brollem.<span style="color: green">“Do you know when we Aiko’s group is leaving?  Is there enough time for a challenge from me before that?”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
