"Trying to maintain our numbers advantage, my kiddo partner had her- err, his Harya-Mollux Protecting my Sethim-Togekiss while he plays a few sleepy chirps and Yawns. We're still wearing down Gandalf-Cyclohm on a steady rate with a one-two Hidden Power Acid Spray - Sethim-Togekiss releasing a shadow of itself in brown, while Harya-Mollux uncorks that cap and spewing heated, bubbling slush. Surprisingly AOPS only had Gandalf-Cyclohm trying vainly to Thunderbolt it's brute way through... Wait, you saw that?"

"Hold on, hold on... Your friend was the one waving at AOPS from the high stands? *gulp* No wonder he looks so distracted. Yeah." (Please don't see El please don't see El please don't see El)

Shouldn't Cyclohm be at 5% par and -2 SpD?

fluff

...Shit. I think she's on to me.

Okay, jealousy is something that should be avoided at all costs when it comes to hitting on women. If I had told her who my partner really was, she would've, at best, taken El for an old flame and...well, yeah. If she finds out now, she'll probably assume the worst and I'll probably be trudging home in the rain.

And no, El and I never dated - Harry just likes to exaggerate about that...incident. No, I'm not telling you about that. In fact, I'd rather you not bring up the subject again.

...Where was I? Oh right, kicking a Cyclohm's ass.

***

I think this might be it!

On that, I agree!

Harya: Acid Spray* -> Acid Spray -> Acid Spray
*If Cyclohm uses a protective/evasive move, Chill and push actions down

Sethim: Last Resort*/** -> Chill -> Last Resort
*If Cyclohm uses endure, use Toxic and push actions down
**If Cyclohm uses a protective/evasive move, Chill and push actions down

Cyclohm: Thunderbolt+Thundershock (Sethim) --- Cooldown --- Discharge

(Oh, right, we're battling under the eaves. If they're seeing my new bud AOPS, it means me and El are blocked under the roof of our trainer stations. Whew) "Well, suffice to say, your friend's wave costed AOPS his match. I was kidding - I mean he is good, but he had a an unlucky partnering, that's all. Sethim-Togekiss managed to survive in a Last Resort, and my kid pal's Harya-Mollux just Sprayed until Gandalf-Cyclohm went down in a FLUMPF!"

"Say, I never knew any girl who's that interested in battles before. Are you..? Oh, s'okay, I'm not that kind of guy. Say, may I at least see you home? It's the only polite thing to do, y'know, the streets being not that safe for a lone girl, and all...."

Endgame Fluff

Well, looks like taking AOPS's offer paid off. I wonder if he got lucky himself?

***

Haha, sweet! Nice work, El!

I could say the same of you. Even I couldn't get Auroch to imitate another pokemon! How'd you do it?

Actually, that surprised me too, and I told her as such.

Hey Rico, you got something to do with that?

Well, actually she-

I couldn't notice El's Zoroark shooting him a death glare as he began to talk.

...No. No I don't.

El and I both knew it was bullshit. I figured I'd pry the truth out of him later. But for now...

So, El...night's still young, wanna hit up a Starbucks or something? Catch up?

Sure. You still owe me an explanation for Egypt anyway.

...And we would have hung out, if that Mnemonikos suit hadn't shown up. All I remember about him is that he had the face of a moai.

*sigh* Dammit...Sorry Ben, I'm gonna have to pass after all. Something happened at the company that needs my immediate attention. Tomorrow, alright?

Eh, alright then. See ya tomorrow.

And then, they all went off together, probably to figure out the kinks in a new TM or something. I couldn't help but notice Rico looking a little despondent as Auroch walked off.

Gonna miss her?

Huh? Wait, wha-oh HELL no!

Liar. It's all over your face.

...Okay, maybe a little.

Ah, don't worry, I'm sure we'll see them aga...SHIT!

Fuck! I completely forgot to swap numbers with her!

We ran into AOPS on the way out. We congratulated each other on the fight, told me to give his regards to El. He also suggested we go pick up chicks at his local hangout. I told him I'd need about 20 minutes to catch a cab (I drank a little at Irene, so my bike was still there) to go home and drop Rico off, but I accepted his offer.

Remember that suit AOPS was partnered with? I ran into him as I was hailing a cab outside the arena.

Hey, blondie! I hear your car got trashed! Serves you right for embarassing me in front of my date, asshole!

And then he drove off cackling. Christ, what a douchebag.

Actually, I noticed someone's car in the parking lot WAS trashed, the suit must have assumed it was mine. Everything glass was smashed, the license plates were ripped off, the tires were slashed, and the whole damn thing was dented to hell and back. The cab had just arrived, so I decided to call the chief on the matter...

*Five minutes later...*

WHO DID THIS TO MY CAR?!

Good game, man. You fought well.
