[X] My Assistant

[Kamaitachi]

The main arena, a gargantuan Colosseum overlooking the vast sea, has separated into 8 fields, each with its own set of stands, while the higher seats have a lovely view of all eight battles. Each battle is televised on the giant screens located along the walls, giving spectators the nitty gritty close-up views of each battle.

The battles to come would be fierce, and with so many raging simultaneously, and to be distracted by the neighboring fights could easily spell a loss.

The Match for this field was slated for Darryn Kellor and Jill Cortoma. The field in question was...sickeningly sweet. The obstacles appeared to be stuffed pokemon toys, that upon touch, would release opaque, colourful bubbles into the air. The floor itself was so incredibly pink that...metaphors were not needed.

The referee, holding the trademark flags, floated nearby on what could only be described as a hovering disc; yet another technological marvel of Daioh Scientists. The ref tapped his fingers on his poketch, which revealed a rotating triangular pyramid on the main screen. Once it stopped rotating, it revealed a large number 1:

"This will be a three on three battle conducted in Singles Style If one of the combatants falls, the reserve must be sent in immediately. Trainers, summon your first pokemon now!"

This battle seemed ready to erupt. The stakes? Continuing participation in the tournament.

The crowd roared in anticipation.

Darryn asked for Lima's attention to be switched from the crowd to her opponent and ordered her to use Cosmic Power. Being somewhat new in the trainer-business, Jill made some mental notes of this move for future battles. Lima's determination rose as she nodded and made a small, on the spot pirouette. Immediately after performing the pirouette she got engulfed in a glittering aura, which exploded in a pink burst soon after. Nothing seemed to have changed about the Clefairy and it wasn't an offensive attack either, since Axis still stood where she stood, having no physical trouble at all.

"Okay, so that only leaves Stat-raising as an option. But which stat?" she thought to herself.

Now the trick would be to try and anticipate what Darryn was going to do. Jill now knew one of the moves Lima could perform, for the rest she was clueless, so it wouldn't really help to anticipate on the known moves. The only thing she could do was hope to find out what Darryn was planning at the moment, so she decided to take it slow. For now.

"Axis!"

The poochyena glanced at her trainer with one eye, making sure not to make her attention slip off her foe too, waiting for the order to be given. Jill stretched her arm and pointed at the Clefairy.

"Tackle Lima!"

With a swift turn the small poochyena dashed off, focusing on the Clefairy and bracing itself for the impact of the tackle as she came closer and closer, crossing the few meters left between her and Lima.
