"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!"

Ruby was perplexed. From what Scott had told her a few times, she'd thought that wind made fire stronger by adding more oxygen. But this wind wasn't doing that at all, and to make it worse, it was almost repelling her Fire Spin!

She didn't know how to counter such an attack, and the confusion as to what was happening meant she was too slow to dodge or to put up an Iron Tail shield. There was little she could do but simply brace herself and take the attack head-on. Digging her paws into the ground, the impact of the attack pushed her backwards a bit of a ways, but the vicious winds the Scyther was creating weren't enough to knock her over since she'd braced herself beforehand.

What the winds did do, however, was really mess up her fur, with the razor-sharp winds cutting her in several places causing a little bit of fur to drift away in the wind. This had the effect of really making Ruby angry.

In a normal situation, she would most likely have either used Roar to hopefully make her opponent take a few steps back in hesitation, or she would have gone with a point-blank Flame Burst attack. However, seeing that Barldorph had been burned by her previous Flamethrower, she went for an entirely different attack- Hex.

It was one of Scott's least favorite attacks of her, but a very effective one regardless. He had tried to tell her only to use it on true enemies like poachers, but she was mad enough over her now-uneven fur to use it on a normal opponent. What her Hex attack did varied, but essentially it took a regular status condition and amplified it to the point of actually doing damage. With the Burn status she often inflicted, the attack essentially made the burn feel extremely painful for a couple seconds, although it didn't actually make the burn any worse. Although the attack itself was a beam of ghostly energy that did damage on its own, the secondary effect of making the burn worse was purely a mental attack and caused no lasting effects. However, for the short duration of the attack, the target would feel like the burned location was on fire- which was why Scott didn't like her using it.

And so, ignoring any additional damage the Razor Wind did and letting her Fire Spin dissipate, Ruby shoved one of her tails at Barldorph and wrapped it around one of his arms to try and lock him in place. Then, in a similar way to the Disable attack earlier, the eight other tails all gathered around one point and glowed an odd blackish-blueish-gray color before creating a ball of energy, which was then fired in a beam at her opponent from point-blank range.

"She's going a bit overboard, don't you think? Using that attack......" Amber asked Scott.

"Yeah, she's kinda let the battle go to her head a little bit...... but you never know, that Scyther might have some kind of trick up his sleeve, like Detect or Protect. Even still, I told her not to use that attack unless she absolutely had to."

"Why don't you just stop the battle?"

"Too late now. And besides, I don't think he's done yet. It might be good for Ruby if Cesc's team beats her up after she uses an attack like Hex, to show her that it is a really cruel thing to do."
