[ So punctual, Dolly! He can't even take it. Minato shows up a couple of minutes after the appointed time, having been held up by Lilim being so intensely into the ice-cream he bought her. But now they're here, all in their balls but for Chernobog the Geodude floating along behind him, carrying a big metallic egg, and he'll come right up to her to say hi. ]

Hey, Midori.

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Midori LEAPS OFF HER STUMP IN JOY!! Okay, yeah, that sounds like I'm being silly but seriously she does things like this.]

Minato, hi! [Have a hug!]

You ready to get your butt kicked?~

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Wh-whoa, sudden hug! And it's not even from a robot. He's stunned to stillness for a second...but only for a second. Then he's just gonna go ahead and hug this cutie back. Boy, Junpei would just kill him when he heard he was getting affection from a internet idol.

Made it all the better, really. ]

I'm ready if you are.

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Midori: instilling jealousy in your guy friends with cuddles since 2009! She giggles happily and bounces back to give him a thumbs up when it is time to not be hugging your opponent.]

I'm always ready!

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Then let's get to it.

[ Innuendo brb. He steps back as well - gosh, that's nice, it seems like that smile stays for a few seconds longer before disappearing back to lineface this time - and he puts some battle distance between them. ]

Three versus three?

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Midori grins and nods.]

Okay! Hope you're prepared for this, I brought my best pokemon with me~

[Midori you only have 8 pokemon, 2 of them are under level 10 and 3 of them are babies, come on.]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Me too. Not going easy on you.

[ Minato can't talk- he has all of four Pokemon, one of which is a baby, and one egg. Makes the choice easy, pulling a Pokeball off his belt to spin in his hand.

Yep, unnecessary twirly tricks before he tosses the ball, releasing his Haunter. ]

Thomas.

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't want you to~

[She laughs and watches the twirly tricks. THEY'RE COOL OKAY--]

Alright, Kimiko!~

[Jumpluff time, awwww yeah!]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ All those hours spent dicking around with his Evoker, paying off! Minato gives a nod for Haunter, tucking his hands back into his pockets. ]

Night Shade.

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Kimiko screams. GHOST POKEMON WHY ARE THEY TERRIFYING.]

What did that do? [Midori looks a little bit amazed for a moment, then determined.]

Alright, Kimi, shake it off, let's try sleep powder!

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Because BOO!

Thomas, alas, is hit full-force by it and starts to get drowsy. Minato's shifting into battle mode now, bending forward a bit, voice much more terse and stern than usual. ]

Shake it off-- Confuse Ray.

[ And Thomas does! If somewhat more slowly than usual. ]

and then status battle

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[You know, Midori, bad pokemon choice. Anyone else could have dodged that. But Kimi is just... staring at the pretty lights! Heeeeee!]

Erm... Bullet... Seed? [Why is Kimi floating in a circle and giggling?]

double hypnosis! then naptime battle. :B

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ There there- he did the same. Thomas zonks mere seconds after the Confuse Ray hits, and Minato sighs almost imperceptibly while he recalls his ghosty pal. ]

Beelzebub. [ Out the spider comes! Kimiko has a free hit- time for that to count! ]

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Oh god oh god bug and poison--]

Be careful Kimi! Stun Spore!

[Nope. She's just going to... fly into a tree.]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Goodness. This is going better than he thought. Minato doesn't have time to cycle through his internal options menu for long- better to just go for a big hit than attempt Leech Lifes. ]

Night Shade.

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Midori and Kimiko scream in unison- lord, Minato, it sounds like you're raping ladies over here.]

Wh-what did that do?

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

Takes a portion of their health.

[ Never! They fling themselves at him too much for that to happen. :V ]

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Kimiko is looking highly unsettled and shaky, and Midori doesn't hesitate to call her back.]

You scared her!

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ It says a lot that he stays on guard, but concern flickers through his expression, stern for the fight. ]

That's battle.

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Midori pouts.]

Still! Jeeze!

[She goes for another pokeball.]

Jack! Time to fight for your lady's honor!

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Oh god, giant ice ball. He's got nothing for this! ]

...Scary Face, Beelzebub.

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Jack shudders, then growls.]

Ice Fang, baby!

[Midori seems confident! And Jack seems... toothy.]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Toothy, large, and about twenty levels higher than something weak to ice. Beelzebub screams and thrashes about before quickly passing out. Minato's face is set through it, only grimacing slightly as he recalls spider-kun.

Now, there's a sleeping Haunter with not much health and a Graveler. He knows what's gotta happen here! ]

Chernobog. [ Out the rockbody comes! ] Rock Throw.

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Midori whoops and throws her arms up into the air.]

Atta boy, Jack!

[And then. Oh god rock pokemon. Jack recoils a bit, and grits his teeth as he's hit by the rocks. He looks a bit dizzy.]

Um! Headbutt!

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Jack is stronger, but the advantage of Rock Pokemon is that they have centre of gravity coming out of the ass. Chernobog only gives a couple of inches, Minato setting his teeth. ]

Keep it up, Chernobog. More rocks.

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Jack is not doing so well with the rocks. That glare is no longer just a normal feature of his face! He doesn't even wait for Midori's cue to bash the other pokemon a second time.]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Oh no, violence! Minato is-- pretty okay with violence! This part of the battle is looking to descend into a simple brawl: for his part, Chernobog just continues hurling the rocks, punctuating them with punches from his gravelly fist, absorbing the damage as best he can. Jack's higher level is telling, however, scratches appearing all over him. ]

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Truth be told, Jack's getting pretty worn down. He wobbles in the air, but he's still glaring with determination. Midori catches onto it and actually gets back into the game, over her shock at how aggressive Jack was being.]

Crunch!

[Oh look. The teeth again.]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Chernobog's wavering fast, and Minato can see the tides of defeat on the horizon...there's just time for one last shot. His voice raises higher, mildly angry, and flings out a hand. ]

Magnitude!

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[OH SHIT-- That was a little bit more intense than Jack was expecting. Midori just stares in shock as her pokemon faints.]

W-wow, that's a strong move...

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

It can be.

[ Good thing, too. Chernobog is on his last pebble of strength, Minato recalling him back into his ball, letting out a quiet sigh of relief. ]

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Midori grabs her last pokeball.]

Ready for the last one?

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Unnecessary Pokeball-spinning trick #2. ]

When you are.

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

Alright! Let's do this!

[And out comes the Houndoom!]

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Oh god giant death dog, and him with a weakened rock and a sleepy ghost. Minato throws Chernobog a Potion in preparation, eyeing the Houndoom suspiciously. ]

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Daijiro growls threateningly.]

Okay, Dai, Beat Up!

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ FIGHTING MOVES

Chernobog takes the hit, pretty much straight away knocked down to critical health, Minato's frown growing deeper. ]

Rock Throw.

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Daijiro yelps before the move even starts, recognizing the command. He dodges a few of the rocks, but those that connect look painful.]

Dai! [Midori looks worried, but quickly perks back up.]

Same move as before, baby, you can do this!

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ This battle is not looking good for Team Emo Hair. Minato shifts his footing, hands sliding out of his pockets again with Pokeball in an iron grip. Chernobog's sent tumbling, rolling back hard enough to make the ground shake, letting out one long graaaav before fainting.

Minato sighs under his breath and recalls him. All that's left is Thomas, now, and the ghost is not looking too hot either. Nevertheless, it's his only shot. ]

Thomas. [ Pchoo!

...and it's still asleep. ]

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Midori cheers along with Daijiro's triumphant howl. Her puppy is still in okay shape, and the sleep status is going to give them a further advantage.]

Alright, type advantage! Use bite, Daijiro!

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Thomas wakes up then, screaming out an unearthly noise of pain. His claws swing out to smack Daijiro around the head a few times, but it's no good- the dog's got him too good.

Thomas twitches a few times in its mouth before going limp, fainting away.

Midori wins! ]

Hm. Good fight.

[pokemondolly.livejournal.com]

[Midori squeals and leaps on her pokemon, hugging him and giving exactly zero fucks about the dirt she's getting on her clothes.]

You did great, Daijiro!! Mommy's so proud of you!!

[Once she's done kissing the top of Daijiro's head, she leaps back to her feet and holds out a hand to Minato for a hand shake.]

That wasn't an easy win~ You're a great trainer, Minato!

[ofmywill.livejournal.com]

[ Damn straight. Minato nods again, recalling Thomas and crossing their battlefield - now somewhat pockmarked - to shake her hand. ]

Thanks. You're pretty good, too.
