He still had a very serious demeanor, though now he was less focused, apparently annoyed that his first fight with a Gym Leader got cut off when victory was a possibility. He kept his mouth shut, though, and tried to get back to the task at hand. "I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm going to go see if they still have a working healing station around here to get Tarift and Chimchar back in the green. You should probably do the same, in case this turns bad somehow," he told Elouise, then made to turn and walk away without having ever properly introducing himself to either of the women.<br/><br/>That is, until he stopped a few yards away, tilting his head slightly to listen to the sounds of battle resuming the deck above. Anyone who was still fighting after the ship rocking and the power going out had to have a very good, or a very bad, reason. "We may want to make this quick, too..."<br/><br/>===<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/6/68/Spr_DP_Camper.png)</div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Poacher<br/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Safari Zone, Area 2<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Cain Dormaz<br/><br/><strong>Current Pokemon:</strong>Poochyena, ? ? ?<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The poor, inexperienced Poochyena didn't stand much of a chance against Cain's more battle-hardened Croagunk. It let out a sad yelp as it fell for the second part of her trap, entrapped in Croagunk's powerful, dangerous hold and too paralyzed from the Poison Touch to do anything about it. The boy's eyes grew as wide as his dog, and only continued to grow bigger and more terrified as Cain threatened to do some serious damage to the offending pokemon. "Wait! Please, no!" the young trainer cried, stepping forward while still keeping his distance. His eyes shot back and forth between Cain and Croagunk, pleading mercy both physically and verbally.<br/><br/>"Don't hurt him! I didn't want to come here and do this, honest! I won't do it anymore if you let him go!" he begged, not even thinking to go for his second pokemon and try to take Cain out. This definitely wasn't the voice of someone who would just up and break the law one day, but that only meant cruel man still had a bit more work to do.<br/><br/>===<br/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Douglasberg Casino<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Elly, Draven<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Oh, of course I'll be cheering for you, Miss Elly! Who else has a chance to win, anyway?" the receptionist declared as she scribbled Elly's name into the listings. She did the same when Draven gave his name, although she gave the writer a lot less attention. Either she was really trying to suck up to a member of the owner's family, or she was a genuine fangirl of the new local Gym Leader. "Let's see...if we stick both of you in first running of the Treasure Hunt, that means you can go against Mr. Takeshi from Kanto! If you beat him, that'll prove a thing or two about us Tetsoans!" she declared, barely giving them a chance to decide otherwise. Even if they wanted to, it was mere seconds before another voice cut in, rough and firm as stone.<br/><br/>"And just think about what it'll prove if you lose," came the teasing sarcasm from a tall, narrow-eyed man, (http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/7/7b/HeartGold_SoulSilver_Brock.png) his words bearing the shallow humor and extreme self-assurance of a veteran. "Money-grabbing isn't usually my thing, but I know my pokemon have the grit to pull off anything. Let's see if yours can do the same," he suggested, bringing his fist into his palm to emphasize the point. "Oh, and don't call me Takeshi. Everyone I know calls me Brock."<br/><br/>===<br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Carvahna x 2<br/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Old Douglasberg, Third Layer (Ruins)<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Hibana<br/><br/><hr/><br/>With the type advantage and the higher evolutionary stage, Hitmonlee's Rolling Kick would utterly destroy the bloodthirsty Carvahna. It was pretty much unconscious as soon as the kick smashed into its side, but its condition only grew worse as it slammed into the opposite wall, leaving some serious cracks in the old interior work, and then ricocheted off and fell back down into the murky water to bide its time and heal.<br/><br/>At the point, after seeing its kin be utterly slammed by the Hitmonlee and knocked out, it would have made sense for the remaining Carvahna to retreat and wait for easier prey to come along, but for the Savage pokemon, having no more partner apparently just meant having double the meal when it was over. Widening its glare and baring its teeth, the Carvahna hissed with its most terrifying Scary Face, trying to scare at least one of its opponents into being a little slower on the draw. Then, without even a pause to gather its energy, it leaped out of the water at Riolu and surrounded its teeth with blue, jagged ice, attempting to sink an Ice Fang into the smaller of Hibana's two warriors and hopefully get a freeze effect if it was very lucky, and not immediately knocked out.
