Umbre nodded and focused her energy again. Dark energy formed within her, building up. "Dark Pulse!" she shouts, a fraction of a second before the energy blasts out of her, directed towards the approaching Pokemon. The black shockwave was too large to dodge effectively; the Leafeon realized this, skidding to a halt, crouching, shielding her face with her arms.<br/><br/>The blast hit her dead-on. Leafeon hissed as pain shot through her body. Grimacing, breathing hard, she returned to her feet.<em>It will take more than that to finish me,</em>she mused, as she continued her charge.<br/><br/>Leafeon was a real sprinter; she had cleared the distance and jumped into the sky, bringing her leaf sword down at the Umbreon's head. Umbre rolled out of the way, but it wasn't necessary. Adrian was quick, another ball flying forth from his hand, forcing Leafeon to twist in midair to avoid it, landing on her side in the dirt.<br/><br/>As the Leafeon twisted herself into a crouch, Umbre backed away, firing another Dark Pulse. Leafeon stumbled over backwards as she was hit, her body seeming to give out on her at last as she collapsed in a heap. Umbre steadied her breathing, smiling in satisfaction. The adrenaline began to drain out of her. A real battle... not that the Leafeon put up much of a fight, but it was still thrilling. She was beaming at Adrian, so satisfied to have won.<br/><br/>And the Leafeon lunged, sword whistling through the air. Umbre screeched as the blade bit her stomach, a deep red welt forming almost immediately. A second strike got her arm and brought her down. "For the forest!" Leafeon yelled, dropping onto Umbre to pin her beneath her legs, raising the leafy razor above her head, staring into those captivating eyes....<br/><br/>Memories flooded her mind. Her body froze, her face twisting in shock. "Umbre...?" she whispered.<br/><br/>The Hyper Beam sent her soaring backwards, slamming into a tree with enough force to crack it before collapsing onto her chest. Umbre pushed herself onto one knee, wincing, her chest heaving as she breathed. Her mind was focused on that Pokemon's word... how did she know her name?<br/><br/>The Leafeon tried to push herself up, but it was no good. Even the slightest movement hurt; she was beaten. As she slumped over into the grass, she tried to crane her neck to see the Pokemon who defeated her, to make sure her memory hadn't failed her. "Umbre..." she gasped before closing her eyes and passing into near-unconsciousness.
