"Whew!"

Cesc wiped the sweat from his brow as he the fire subsided around him. Valentine, his Monferno, looked over to him, tossing a casual thumbs up as the remnants of the flames around him died down.

"You've gotten a lot stronger since you evolved." Francesco Rojas grinned at his Pokemon Partner. "Messes with my muscle memory a bit, my friend. But don't worry, that's on me. You keep doing what you do, and we'll figure out this appeal in no time."

He sat down, picking up his discarded shirt and using it to wipe his face and bare upper body from the sweat. Back when Valentine had been a Chimchar, it had been easy to keep up with his Pokemon's movements, but Monferno was so much faster, stronger, and sharper. It was a good thing that they were training together.

Cesc took a moment to survey his surroundings. They'd chosen a quiet plaza in Arasam, one of his favourite little haunts since so few people seemed to traipse through there. His Aunt and Uncle's tailor shop was only just around the corner, but still there wasn't a lot of foot traffic. There was very little to offer on that street, save for the tailor shop, which had gotten more business since Cesc's last contest win. However, he needed to boost that with a win here in his hometown.

Looking over to his side, he saw that the Ralts he had saved recently had not yet left his side. The small little...creature...had been watching in fascination as Cesc and Valentine trained, and had been reluctant for Cesc to take him back into the surrounding Arasam woods. He seemed interested enough in contests...perhaps Cesc would make him a partner. But with the Contest coming up, it seemed silly to throw him into the mix right off the bat.

"Keep observing, my little friend." Cesc reached into his pack and tossed over a Leppa Berry, which the Ralts fumbled on the catch. Smiling, he watched the little guy reach down and clumsily pick it back up, before biting into the berry with evident relish.

Turning back to the task at hand, he had one more pokemon whose moves he had to sharpen. Valentine, Oberon, and Tybalt were all ready...but his unruly Bardolph was still in need of some sharpening, and he wasn't going to be able to do that without presenting the Scyther a challenge.

"Bardolph. you're up."

In a flash, the Scyther appeared from the pokeball, standing and facing Valentine, who immediately took a stance.

"Bardolph...let's focus on making your moves as cool as they can be."

The Scyther, in turn, looked back at him, rolling his eyes. Cesc had never seen a bug type roll its eyes before, so this struck him as rather amusing. "Bardolph, my friend, you're going to be a contest star. You'll get to fight fantastic opponents, but we won't win unless you also make it look cool as hell. So let's start off with Vacuum Wave!"

"Such speed...... she'll never be able to counter that!" Amber muttered. "Why do I get the feeling this isn't the first time you've let her do this kind of thing, anyway?"

"Be quiet. Let me concentrate."

As Cesc had noticed his new opponent, Scott had let Scarlet out of her Great Ball and had used her telepathic powers get to in touch with Ruby. It was hardly fighting fair, but seeing as Ruby was likely fighting a higher-skilled opponent she needed the extra help.

Give the new move a try...... and parry it with one tail.

He didn't typically give Ruby direct commands and instead gave her suggestions if he bothered to help her out at all, but he was curious how Cesc would react to this.

Standing her ground as the Scyther loomed in and ignoring his comment on only using one tail, she whipped two of her tails around so that they were curved around in front of her, before using her newest move to cover them in steel armor.

Iron Tail.

The two tails crossed several inches in front of her nose in an "X" shape in an attempt to block Scyther's blade-arms like a shield. However, during training she'd found the tails too heavy to move effectively, so they typically had to be braced against the ground and couldn't be swung very well, precluding her from using them as an attack on all but the slowest targets.

However, having nine tails that could each bend in odd shapes before getting the steel armor made them an extremely effective defense, and one that absolutely nobody expected. Plus, the tails still had a limited ability to twist and grab things even after Iron Tail was activated.

And, of course, if the tail-shield did in fact stop Scyther, it would likely either stay in place and push back on the tails to try and break through or it would hesitate and wait for a new command from Cesc, leaving it wide open for Flamethrower. But if Scyther moved to the side and went around the tails, Ruby's sides and rear were exposed and she probably wouldn't be able to block with other tails in time, so it was a very risky move. So what would it do?
