Kagura tapped his finger against the cover of the book in his lap. He had come here in hopes of meeting his new partner earlier then the time that had been set for them, but he really shouldn't have expected the other person to get as excited as himself and come early too. Now he had to sit here and wait until the other showed up. The lounge was quiet, everyone else was probably out on a job somewhere.

After a few more impatient seconds he realized he was more excited then he had originally thought. No, not excited. He was... nervous? Well of course he was! This was the person he would be working with from now on! At least until one of them died, or became useless in some regard. He wasn't told much about this guy, just that he was a "he", was about the same age, and that if they didn't work together then Kagura would probably be out of the job soon. He had already been through one partner, a man that the blonde had hated with nearly every drop of blood in his body.

The last one had hunted and killed in true, cold blood, and if that last illegal hadn't had a revengeful brother nearby - which neither had been informed about - then Kagura would have murdered the man himself. Or so he would have like to believe. She had only been a little girl... they could have captured her and brought her in, there was no reason to take her down like that; slowly and unforgiving. But Kagura human after all, he couldn't stand up to a gijinka like the others could. He was jealous of the ones infused with pokemon DNA there was no denying that, but he refused to become like the monster his brother was changed into, even if it was legally.

If this new partner was anything like that guy, what would he do? The room suddenly seemed a lot bigger then it had been a minute ago, making Kagura feel rather small and insignificant. There really was nothing he could do now, he had to work with this partner no matter what or he would be facing getting fired. He couldn't afford that, not with his mother, brothers, and sister waiting at home. It was his job as the eldest to set a good example after all, getting fired was probably not the best way to demonstrate that.

Whatever this guy acted like, Kagura would have to put up with him. It would be a cinch. Or so he tried to convince himself.

He was pissed, furious, and all in all quite uncomfortable with the idea that h e actually had to work with a partner now. A partner. Vegas had always been a loner, he's never even had so much as a best friend before. The very idea that he was expected to work with this new guy he hadn't even met for long term, gave the brown haired gijinka chills down his spine. Whats wrong with working alone anyway? He didn't get why Epispect insisted that hunters went with partners. But he had no choice. His bosses said he needed to be trained before he was qualified to go out on his own, and it was either comply or get stuck with officework. As it was, Vegas was bored to death after just a week of paperwork, so when he had gotten his letter this morning, he heaved a heavy sigh, but decided to go along with it anyway. Wasn't as if he had a choice. So with much reluctance and grumbling, the guy had gotten off his seat in the tiny cubicle he had been allocated, and trudged towards the designated meeting room, a dark look hovering around his features. Half of him dreaded the idea of working with a partner, half of him just... dreaded the person himself. What if the other guy's ideas didn't mesh with his own? In name, Vegas was an epispect hunter, but in nature, he didn't like killing or maiming. A man of words, even at his age of twenty three, Vegas still winced at the idea of blood and gore. He shuddered at the idea that his partner may be someone who loved the thrill of the kill. Dragging his feet, by the time Vegas got there, he was already five minutes late, and on purpose to. It was not hard to guess that the male was not the most enthusiastic end of the partnership, but whats got to be done, got to be done right? Finally pushing open the door, his wary sable eyes rested upon the only other living being within the small meeting room, and Vegas reeled at the idea that this must be the partner he was expected to work with. His chest clenched with the dread and anticipation, but refusing to show what he truly felt, Vegas masked it with a composure of cool, unaffected features as the male strolled in. At a glance, vegas assume the guy was probbaly only a little taller then him. What was the information given to him again? Slightly older... what was with the long hair? Vegas couldn't help but wonder. Sure, the color was attractive enough, even if Vegas would kill before he said anything remotely resembling those words... still, the hair was pretty long for a guy. And the ponytail, by god. Squeezing his eyes shut for a second in order to resist the temptation to roll his eyes, Vegas finally flicked his gaze to let sable brown eyes meet the other's pale blue ones. "Vegas, Vegas Fortescue. Epispect's new trainee. I assume you're Kagura? My... partner?" Vegas introduced, as politely as one could manage with a dinstictively strangled undertone that possibly gave a clue as to how he wasn't particularly amenable to the idea of having a partner.

Kagura's head perked up, the door swinging open to allow the man into the room. He noticed almost immediately that he looked exactly like he would imagine the main character of the current story he was working on. Kagura stood from the couch, book dropping into the cushion behind him. He reach into his pocket and pulled out his glasses, stepping closer and nearly ignoring the gesture of a handshake all together. He walked a few circles around him, taking in as many details about him as he could at a glance. The character was rather innocent at first, but later grew to be battle hardened as he encountered the people who had kidnapped his sister and were forced to work for them.

Soft brown hair that made you want to fluff it at a glance, and soft brown- ah... no not quite. His eyes were surely the same color as his hair in all technicality, but under that they were darker, colder. That was too bad, he had hoped for a second this kid could have been of some use to him, inspiration if you will. Even still... He took his thin frame, and other smaller details to mind which really didn't matter much, he couldn't tell of anything that told him anything drastic about the boy besides his eyes. He stopped in front of him, sighing. It didn't matter if he knew everything about this man right off the start or not, they were partners whether he liked it or not now.

Finally, he took a hold of the other's hand. He was polite enough, at least on the surface. He pulled the other closer, the distance between their faces closing. He adjusted his glasses with his free hand, not letting go of Vegas's grip go just yet. He was certainly interesting... curiosity still getting the better of the writer.
"Kagura Ren, pleased to meet your acquaintance you Vegas. Tell me, what type of gijinka are you?"
He stared into those sable eyes, watching for anything that could result in exposing his true nature. Not that Kagura was one to always be suspicious of other people, but this guy... just... irked him for some reason.
"And while we're on the subject," he said, fixing his glasses again before they fell off his face, "You know that you are more then five minutes late right? Are you the kind of person who keeps your superiors in waiting as a general hobby?"

Even if his parents never gave a double damn about him, even Vegas knew enough to know that staring wasn't exactly polite with a new acquaintence. Heck, it wasn't polite with people you've known for awhile! For all that mattered though, it didn't seem to deter him, and the back of Vegas's neck prickled and stood as he froze under the other's scrutiny, offered hand hanging limply as his sable eyes tracked the other's movement. He felt like a damn mannequin set on display, with how the dude was circling him. What was his problem?! Feeling the irritation growing within him, Vegas's eyes fairly glinted with the frustration when Kagura took his limp and forgotten hand, the contact making the gijinka jump in surprise, flinching automatically. The guy hated social contact in general, hence why his dislike in working with partners. Social association in general made Vegas feel uncomfortable... but it wasn't as if he had a choice now did he? When pulled closer though, Vegas sucked in a breath, his chest tight at the even closer proximity. God, he was so not used to being with other people. For a second or two, it was as if Kagura's words had flown across Vegas head, the gijinka making no move to answer, being a little too shell shocked to answer. It was while before he finally cleared his throat, forcing his tense body to loosen up before answering. "E-Eevee. I got it when I was ten." he explained, knowing that such starter type Pokemon DNA was not given to guy's his age. At the same time, Vegas couldn't help but steel himself for the ridicule he tended to get for being an Eevee gijinka. While useful as a pokemon for its evolutions, as a gijinka and incapable of evolving, people tended to find the evolution pokemon's DNA pretty useless. But while Vegas couldn't help but agree sometimes, he really didn't have a choice when it came to choosing the DNA suited for him. The second the next words filtered in though, the guy went on defensive again, slipping his hand out as his eyes took on its hardened edge once more. "Superiors? I was of the opinion that we were supposed to be partners. You know, equals? Unless you don't know the meaning of the word anyway." he retorted deftly, stubbornness lacing his every word. Vegas balked at the idea of having this... blond haired dude he didn't even know as his 'superior'. Even the word partner was giving him the shivers, did the guy really expect Vegas to bend to his every wish? Well he better have another think coming.

Kagura was amused by the reactions of the younger man. He was a little jumpy, like a scared animal. His looks certainly suited his normal gijinka type DNA, and it almost made his features seem a little more gentle now that he knew such a cute pokemon had fostered his transformation. He grinned.
"I think it suits you- Vegas was it? Yep, definitely the right choice for someone like you."

And then it came, the slender hand slipped out of his grasp easily and his "partner" turned his gaze back on Kagura, the surprise had vanished, now defiance written all over them. He did bring up a good point, but still Kagura was older and mush more experienced at the job. He had hunted and been hunted, killed and nearly been killed. He knew several tricks that a newbie like this guy couldn't possibly know; he knew of the traps that lay in wait, and the many dangers that lurked around every corner of the downtown sections of the city. who was this kid to talk back to him?
"Well surely you don't think yourself stronger then I am? And it is as I said, thought we might be partners I am much more battle weary then you are. It should be natural that I'm of a higher standard then yourself. Besides," he mockingly jabbed a finger at the brunette, "just because I'm your partner does not mean I can't also be your elder. Weren't you ever taught any manners boy?"

That is how it was. The younger and weaker were to show respect to their respect to those who were stronger and more experienced, no excuses. It was becoming increasingly obvious to the blonde that those soft and normal seeming looks definitely hid an untamed temper. He was going to have to teach this Vegas some manners if they were going to survive as partners. He wasn't about to let this guy get away with anything he wanted to.

He turned his back on Vegas, fixing his glasses and clearing his throat. He suddenly had the feeling that he may have gone overboard with the boy, had nearly lost his composure at that. As he attempted to collect himself he thought again of his last partner, and then of his job - which was on the line with this last attempt at a partner. If he let this one die too, gods he may as well just kill himself right there for he would be fired on the spot when he came back to Epispect. what good was a partner who couldn't work with others, couldn't watch their back? He would definitly not let this one die, for the sake of his younger siblings who eagerly waited for him at home. Now that he thought about it, Vegas reminded him a little of his younger brother, the one closest to him in age being only four years younger then him. He remembered how ill tempered he had been at first as well, and how it had taken a lot of coaxing to turn him into a decent young man worthy of all sorts of praise and good will. So then why did he betray us? The thought came so easily it nearly shocked him. And as he looked over at the young man behind him, he would not have been surpised to see his brother standing there in his place. but now was not the time for some petty regrets and unwanted memories, for now he would focus on this boy.

Fit him? Whatever did he mean? Call him paranoid, but after years of being ridiculed for being a gijinka of such a tiny pokemon, the guy was just a tad bit oversensitive when it came to people judging his DNA. He couldn't help but overthink everything everyone said in regards to his pokemon DNA, and this time was no different. Vegas blinked, trying to decipher any hidden meanings behind Kagura's words. When the guy couldn't find any, he quickly, mentally shook himself. Chill out Fortescue, not everyone is out to get you. Narrowing his gaze, Vegas recognized that he was probably either setting himself up for disaster or trouble with his superiors, but he always had a tendency to get himself in those anyway. Horribly accident prone was something he was born with apparent, not to mention an impetus to speak his mind. A bad combination indeed, but it wasn't as if Vegas could help himself sometimes. "Boy? As far as I remember, I'm only a year younger then you are." Vegas snapped back, sable eyes almost a molten gold with his simmering anger. He didn't even get why he was so easily snapped by Kagura, but he just was. Maybe it was just because Vegas had a general bad impression of the guy simply because he didn't want a partner, but either way, this was not going to end well. "And what makes you think you're stronger then me anyway?" he couldn't help but challenging, a stubborn angle in the way he tilted his head. Granted, Vegas was horribly brash. He knew his experience in battle was woefully little, not to mention his team, other then Hemera, were little more then babies. His togepi was more focused on playing then anything else, and Duchess was a new acquirement he had gotten only a few days ago, hardly enough time to get used to the creature's quirks, habits, strengths and weaknesses. So all in all, Vegas would prove to be quite useless in the battlefield. The way Kagura assumed such a fact grated Vegas in all the wrong ways however, and he couldn't help but stand up to the challenge, even if he would end in a million wrong ways.

Kagura stared back at the younger man, blue eyes widening a little. He stepped forwards again, closing the small gap between them once more. But soon the shock faded into even more amusement, it seemed that this time around he had picked up an interesting one indeed. Oh how fuuun this was going to be, moulding this poor young thing into shape.

His smirk returned, this one even more smug then the last.
"Is that a challenge dear Vegas? Would you like me to prove it to you?"
He was no gijinka, that was for sure, but he could still beat him the old fashioned way. He pulled a pokeball from his belt, keeping the short distance between them as he held it up.

"Try to prove me wrong then? Of course it's not like a human could possibly beat you in a battle like what you may or not be used to, but I have courage in the fact that you have at least some dignity, enough to fight a fair battle. Or maybe you really are nothing but a boy?"
He knew he was goading the other into fighting, probably again not the best idea, as a matter of fact it was the worst possible idea he had come up with since they had first locked eyes, but still he held his place, not backing down from the fight he had ensued here.

Oh, but he wasn't done. Just in case that wasn't enough to push him over the edge...
"In fact, how about we make it even more interesting, if you win I'll stop calling you a boy, but if I win I get to call you whatever I want. Since we will be spending a lot of time together I think we should get at least one problem out of the way right?"
He had dealt with young people like this before, Vegas would be no different. First he would lure him into position, and then he would crush him in order to teach him a lesson. To some, it might seem like any thought of caring or gentle feelings were left at the base of all this, but really, it was for his own good. Well, most of it anyways.
"As a matter of fact, I hear there's a gym just a few doors down, care to join me?"

He stood his ground, but he couldn't help the way his body seemed to tense and twist an inch or two away from the intruding presence that was Kagura. What did the guy not understand about giving a person their personal space? Vegas wanted to scream in frustration. Scowling at the other's words, he deigned not to reply Kagura's smug queries, but was unable to resist the outward reaction of clenching his fists in the pockets when Kagura continued goading him. What was his problem anyway? "Fine." Vegas finally bit out roughly, scowling at Kagura a final time, before pushing his way past the elder guy to make for the door to the room they were in. Pushing the door opened to the pristine hallway, he stewed silently over just how easily he had fallen for Kagura's goads. But god, how frustrating was his new partner anyway! Why did he insist on calling him 'boy', for Arceus sake vegas was only a year younger! Not to mention the high and might way he seemed to hold himself, all of which made Vegas wish he could somehow punch the dude and get away with it. Never mind his lack of muscle mass and body weight could probably not do much damage, but that was beside's the point. Finally reaching the empty gym meant for Epispect staff to train when they had the free time, the sound of the door opening echoed as Vegas pushed his way in, not even bothering to hold the door in case it smacked right in to Kagura's face. He stalked towards the far end of the field, and turned to face the elder guy who was supposed to be his partner, determination and stubbornness glinting in his sable gaze. "If I win, you're telling head office to let me work alone. By, myself." Vegas growled, before pulling out his pokeball. Tossing it in the air, the flash of red light revealed his new Sewaddle. Stupid move probably, to reveal your pokemon before your opponent revealed his, but that was Vegas for you.

Kagura could barely suppress the urge to smirk with a devilish grin. Oh how well his plan had worked, the poor young man was fuming. And then when his companion finally agreed to the duel, he allowed his grin to widen a bit, Vegas was right where he wanted him. He silently followed the young man towards the gym that he had spoken of, neither saying a word further along the way. Kagura felt it best that he cool his own head at that point, to be careful that he didn't lose his own composure and make a mistake during the fight.

He almost didn't notice the door as it was being dropped on him, his human strength not really a match for this guy. He winced as it nearly knocked him back, thank god he wasn't fighting him in physical combat. Though now that he thought about it he had been, up to now, could the gijinka stand up to his pokemon himself? Of course Kagura had always been more experienced with double battles, commanding both of his pokemon at once, and he had no qualms with even pulling a three on one if it meant that he could save his own skin. For that, he almost hated himself, but under the circumstances he had somehow made it by up until now.

Vegas took up position on the far side of the gym, readying himself for the fight. Kagura had decided he would release his own pokemon first - the chosen pokeball already in hand - to at least give this guy a chance at thinking about his chosen starter, but at the moment he was about to release it the gijinka had sent forth his pokemon: a sewaddle. The little grass/bug type was quite the cutie indeed! And not even the shock of being beaten to the punch could hide the the happy look in his blue eyes as they cast themselves upon his opponent's pokemon. Though he would not admit it to the young man across from him, he would stick with his first choice of pokemon regardless, not that it made a difference.
"Oh? How interesting... very well, we'll do it your way then."

He smiled, though with a tinge of nervousness. All his attention was on the battle. basically, this guy had just put Kagura's job on the line here, this was no time to go easy on him even if he was just a boy. He tossed the pokeball in his hand, releasing his first and most precious pokemon, his mienfoo. The pokemon shook it's weasel-like head and stretched, happy to finally be free from her long rest.
"Vegas, meet Tessa. Tessa dear, this is our new partner, treat him well okay?"
The mienfoo finished her stretch and looked over at the gijinka with interest, preforming a short bow before dropping into a loose fighting stance.
"You may have the first attack if you wish, come at me boy."

The guy was just that dense when it came to it, but really, its probably more because he so easily falls victim to his own emotions. A guy more ruled by his feelings there never was, and now Vegas was raring to at least get some beating up done, even if it was done by his Pokemon on his behalf. His interested quirked however, when Kagura releases his own mienfoo, a Unova region Pokemon that had always picked at the edges of Vegas's interest. The fighting type seemed graceful yet powerful... ...But now was not the time to get distracted! Snapping himself out of it, Vegas's mouth set itself in a stubborn line when the guy offered him the first attack. Was that underestimating him? Sometimes, Vegas just thought too much about everything, but he couldn't seem to help himself. Fine, doesn't matter. Anything to stop a string of ridiculous nicknames being bestowed upon him from his 'partner'. "Duchess, string shot!" Vegas commanded without a beat, watching with satisfaction when his young Sewaddle jumped to do as he commanded. Not that she particularly wanted to fight. In fact, the Sewaddle had been more interested in the Mienfoo herself, but she was at the same time horribly loyal to her trainer. So the worm bug type jumped in to the air, as the sticky string she produced to weave her hoods shot out at a high velocity towards the Mienfoo, aiming to tangle up its hands and legs, before landing back down. "Tackle!" came the immediate follow up command, something which Duchess winced at, but proceeded to follow instructions anyway.

The blonde stared upon Vegas with an amused smile. It felt like he was taking advantage of this poor guy to teach him a lesson, which he was still trying to convince himself was mostly for the kid's own good. His mienfoo was not the most experienced when it came to fighting other pokemon, was probably only slightly more powerful then this here sewaddle, but Tessa had had life-or-death battle experience, and Kagura knew she was thinking the same thing he was when she made a rather slow attempt at a faked dodge.

The string shot hit its mark, draping sticky lines of web-like substance around her limbs. They stuck, and Tessa thrashed in an attempt to get them off. In her panic she turned her back to the sewaddle, giving it a clear opening for an attack. Kagura smiled as it took the bait, charging at the mienfoo in what seemed to be a tackle of sorts. It came closer, and at the last second he stepped forward,
"Tessa!"
She turned on his command, meeting the tackle with her fist in a Pound. She skid back a little, which gave her room to make a second attack. She shook her arm, probably a bit sore after taking that attack like that.
"Don't let up, again!"
She obeyed, closing the gap between the two pokemon and swinging her fist towards it.

Normally, in a fight with a gijinka she would have simply dodged the attack, but seeing as there would be multiple opponents he didn't want to take the chance and give the little bug type a chance to counter. Not to mention her moves themselves were limited to only one that would be useful to him, he would need to get a TM for his mienfoo soon after all. However, only having one move did not make his friend weak, he would show Vegas what she could do even with such a restriction, and if that failed, well, he would just have to bring out the big guns wouldn't he?

While Duchess was not experienced much, the Sewaddle had a hardy fighting streak in her, and Vegas was crossing his fingers that the little bug would also be stubborn enough to pull through and at least win the match for him. His fists clenched by his sides, a little satisfied smirk crossing his lips when both his Sewaddle's attacks found their mark. But when the Mienfoo turned and did two quick follow up pound attacks that resulted in Duchess taking the two attacks quickly in succession, and then bouncing backwards, groaning in pain. "Duchess, you can get up, you know you can!" to others, it may sound like Vegas didn't care about the pokemon's well-being, but his team knew that their trainer was just horribly tough on them. The Sewaddle heard his voice, and immediately flipped back up, ignoring the dull throbbing of where the Mienfoo's attack had found its mark. "Tackle, again!" Vegas instructed, to which Duchess quickly complied. Not that having only one attack was much to work with, but Vegas was determined to make it work. The Sewaddle crawled forward at high speed, hoping her attack would find its target, before quickly following up with a second tackle attack, hoping that her attacks would be fast enough to prevent the Mienfoo from planting anything in between her attacks.

Kagura forced his grin into a scowl, trying to look like he was losing his cool. He visibly bit his lip, chewing on the soft skin. His mienfoo looked back at her trainer for guidance, saw the signal, and took the first tackle with a backwards rolling tumble. Tessa stopped and wobbled, nearly falling backwards, she saw the second tackle coming at her and it too hit dead on, sending her sprawling onto her back. Luckily, Tessa was able to use the momentum to roll yet again, but this time she landed on her feet, balanced and in a well positioned strike stance at close range.

So the training hadn't been a complete waste, he had been trying to teach her this easy way to counter for some time now but these kinds of things were always much harder to put to use in a real battle, especially because they were diversionary tactics. Kagura could tell that the match would likely be decided with speed, speed and luck that was. Aside from mienfoo's slowing limbs - no thanks to the string shot - they were un-equally matched, and even though pound was a stronger move then tackle, the defence of a sewaddle was higher then mienfoo's so the attack did a slight bit more damage. Of course, had the two been of higher levels, and mienfoo had been evolved, they would be evenly matched. Unless he came up with something mienfoo would lose, but it was much more interesting this way at least.

"Now Tessa, Pound!"
Tessa leapt forward, throwing a double pound, one fist followed by the other, in hopes of regaining the ground she had lost in the fight. What did that put them at now? Kagura calculated the damage each had received so far, assuming that Tessa could only take 5 of those tackle's before she went down. But math had never been his strong point, he would rather rely on his own sight. Well nothing to do about it other then... entertain himself or try to distract the trainer.
"Hey kid, is there any kind of plan behind those attacks or are you expecting to just powerhouse your way through everything?"

Was the guy losing his cool? What happened to 'listening to your elders' huh? He couldn't help but shifted his stance a little smugly, especially when both of Duchess's attacks found their mark, sending the Mienfoo tumbling backwards and hopefully giving the Mienfoo a good amount of damage as well. While the way the fighting type righting itself almost immediately after the second attack unnerved him, Vegas was determined not to let anything sway him from his determination to win. So busy was he on being triumphant however, Vegas didn't even realize that the Mienfoo was coming at t he bug type with an attack until it was the last second. "Duchess!" the gijinka called out the warning, but it came to late as the Sewaddle fell not to one, but two of the attacks, falling and rolling backwards. By the time the Sewaddle came to a halt, the bug type groaned its pain as she tried to crawl upwards again. Vegas standing at the sidelines, couldn't help but tighten his fists, his nails digging in to his palm as his mind tried to race for solutions. He knew Duchess had a high defence, but at the same time the Mienfoo was incredibly well trained, while Vegas was still getting used to his new Pokemon. So now what? They were equally matched, as far as Vegas could see... but the brown-haired gijinka was still worried. Looking up, his sable eyes flashed with unhidden anger at Kagura's words. "I'm not a kid." the male hissed, glaring at the other across the field. "Duchess, string shot again!" he commanded, and the Sewaddle complied. The white sticky thread shot out once more, aiming to tangle themselves around the Mienfoo's legs.

Kagura smirked. He had fallen for it again, and not only that but the chance he had been waiting for finally arrived. Impatience was never a good thing to have, especially during a pokemon battle, and it was never true that using the same move over and over was a horrible thing either. If it was, what would the metronome item be for?

Mienfoo let out a cry of surprise as her legs became entangled in more of the sticky web, her legs getting tangled and making it hard for the poor thing to move.
"Tessa dodge it!"
She moved little, kicking at the sticky substance until the sewaddle was close enough to hop sideways, therefore executing a near-miss dodge, at the last second. Too close for comfort, her speed was decreasing slowly but as long as the blonde took his time and waited it out... but there was no time to wait that long was there? It was a risk that he couldn't take. he waited until the sewaddle had only just passed her, and the moment the danger of being caught by the tackle was gone and it was within range he gave her the order.
"Mienfoo, now!"
She turned, feet still close together as to not get them any more tangled then they already were, and aimed yet another Pound at the sewaddle again. Tessa nearly teetered off her balance, but luckily caught herself in time.

Kagura let out a sigh of relief, this was turning out to be a little more nerve racking then he'd hoped, but he still had an ace up his sleeve.
He liked the look he was getting from his partner, and Vegas really wasn't doing that badly at all. Had he and his sewaddle had more experience they probably would have done some serious damage to his team. Maybe having a guy like him as a partner wasn't such a bad thing after all.
"Ooooo... you're making such a scary face you know, what if it gets stuck like that?"

*Fills in word count with random chitter chatter and fluff about very random things*
I really was waiting for you to use that string shot again xD
And yes I bolded the dodge just because it reminds myself that it's one of the two moves it can use this round.
Oh and, feel free to add that eevee, I don't mind the addition.
