<span style="color: #00bf40">Serverus tried to swallow, but he was being pulled by three strong pokemorphs, and his prey was being pulled out of his mouth by another strong one. In the end, Duke ended up flying back with a saliva-wet-headed Nikolai, and Rupert, Orbin and Sarge ended up with a long snake laying on them. "Ser. Serperior. {Tut. such a waste.}"</span><br/><br/>Orbin blew up at him. "SERVERUS! WHY DID YOU EVEN *THINK* OF THAT?!"<br/><br/><span style="color: #00bf40">"Ser. Serperior ser ser. {Hmph. I was trying to make it easier for you.}"</span><br/><br/>"AND EATING NIKOLAI WOULD DO THAT *HOW*??!" Orbin questioned.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00bf40">"Ser, perior ser, {Well, With him in *here,*}"He pointed to his stomach with his tail, "...Ser peri ser, perior ser. {...he'd have to forfeit, meaning you'd win by default.}"</span><br/><br/>"AND DON'T YOU THINK *I* WOULDV'E FORFIETED IF I JUST WANTED THE BATTLE OVER?" Orbin yelled, obviously not happy with Serverus.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00bf40">Serverus blinked. "Ser. serperior? {you *don't* want the battle over?}"</span><br/><br/>Orbin had calmed down a bit. "No, I *did* want it over, but not so soon."<br/><br/><span style="color: #00bf40">Serverus just looked away.</span><br/><br/>"Wait. Why *did* you want to stop the battle?" Orbin asked.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00bf40">"Ser, serperior... {because, you were having ahard time...}"</span><br/><br/>Orbin was shocked. "But I thought you hated me?"<br/><br/><span style="color: #00bf40">"Ser. {I do.}"</span><br/><br/>"Then why-?"<br/><br/><span style="color: #00bf40">"Serperior ser! Ser ser serperi! Ser ser perior!{Because I respect you! You should know that by now! It's the only reason I continue to accompany you!}"</span><br/><br/>Orbin said nothing.<br/><br/><span style="color: #00bf40">"Serperior ser. Ser ser serperior... {It's like I said. It's a waste of time.}"</span><br/><br/>"Serverus... I..." Orbin hung his head for a few minutes, then raised it, a new realization on his face. "I'm sorry." he looked towards his team. "to everyone." He took out a pokeball, looking at it. "especially you, Sparks."(continued in next post, please don't post yet,let's)
