Akio hmphed and rolled over onto his side, back to the rays that were slowly turning orange. With his face in shadow, sleep felt closer than ever and he shifted around on until he was more comfortable. He’d chosen to take a nap as close to the lake shore as he could. The vegetation was thicker and offered more padding. That wasn’t to say he wasn’t used to toughing it outdoors, no he just knew how to make the most of what was out there. Of course with lifeblood that was water so close, pokemon and people were constantly making a din and henceforth jarring him out of his almost doze. Akio scowled and lifted his arm up to shoot a weak Thunder Wave in the vague direction of a particularly loud flying type. The following annoyed squawk and sound of flapping wings brought a grin to his face and he settled down once more. With his head polled on one bicep and the other curled around his stomach, one could say he looked vulnerable. Akio was anything but. Even with his eyes closed he kept his ears open for unusual sounds and always was a light sleeper. His powers meant he could protect himself but the few extra seconds surprise lent him certainly helped to set things off in his favor. The warmth of the ground below him lulled him into a doze. All the running and jumping he’d done earlier wore him out and short naps helped recharge his batteries so to say. He could keep going for days like that before crashing for six to eight hours of real rest. Akio only ever crashed when he could spend a night in a pokemon center. Course now that he more or less had a part time job and could afford a place to stay every now and again he might try that. Yet he hated being tied down or forced to stay in one district or the other. The farm country was out of the question. He’d lived out in the more rural area and wasn’t keen on going back. Bah… so many negative things to think about in one afternoon. He was such a downer. The sound of grass rustling nearby roused Akio and his muscles tensed ready to react. With his eyes closed however he couldn’t see a stranger, oblivious to the sleeping man, walking straight for him. He could tell when the person was close enough to strike, but as he made his move another body collided with his. Akio somehow managed to take the brunt of the fall and his head hit the grass rather painfully. Hissing in pain and irritation, he opened his eyes to glare at the sea of pale hair hiding the person underneath. “Get off, now.” His tone was polite enough for someone woken so rudely, but there was a threatening undercurrent.

They were there for him, understood what it was like to be a Gajinka, and accepted him and all of his faults. But there were times when he had to get away from them, if only to breath, and now was one of those moments. He should’ve remembered from long ago what it was like to be around them when hurt. Mothers, all of them, and his father was the worst of the lot. They had no idea that he’d slipped away, and he wasn’t sure how long it would last before someone came searching for him. But he was going to enjoy what little freedom he had before he was wrangled back into a bed that he was discontent with. A man could only last so long in one spot before he had to move again, injured or whole. The lake was one of his favorite spots to escape to. It was calm and quiet, for the most part, and what Pokemon could be found in the area were generally silent unless bothered. Then again, Shiro was good at zoning out when he visited this particular spot, so maybe it wasn’t so much of a surprise that he generally didn’t notice them. Which also meant he usually didn’t notice others, especially when his thoughts were focused elsewhere, like they were now. Colliding with another body jarred his still healing ribs and he hissed as he was knocked to the ground along with the stranger. His eyes narrowed as he regarded the figure, and he could tell without sniffing the air that he was in the presence of a fellow gajinka. The air between them was thick with tension, and he could feel electrical currents shift through the spaces, making his skin prickle as they passed over his flesh. Flicking his hair out of his face, he gave the other a careful once over before taking a breath. Calm, he told himself. He needed to remain calm. “You were in my way.” He realized then that he’d grabbed onto Akio to steady himself - and it hadn't worked obviously - and he frowned. He let his fingers fall and he rocked back on his heels. Still, he could feel those currents. He had to handle this carefully. “There. Not touching,” he held out his hands and wiggled his fingers. “hands are in a safe zone. Happy?”[/classy]

Being pinned down by someone was bad enough, letting someone grab onto him was unacceptable. That gave them the upper hand and he just couldn’t have that. Akio watched as the stranger stood, and just as gracefully as his build and flowing hair suggested. He quickly jerked into a sitting position and got one, long leg underneath him, ready to spring up and charge if that’s what the situation called for. For the moment he just watched the other with a steady gaze and impassive face. As the other man wiggled his fingers and spoke again, Akio raised an eye brow and stamped down an irritated growl. “Thanks for that. I guess.” Static electricity rose with his ire and he could feel his skin prickling. He felt far too uncomfortable on the ground, looking right at the stranger. He felt ill at ease and vulnerable like that, so he stood, cocking one leg and putting a hand on one hip. The nap, or doze really, had been well and good and Akio felt a little refreshed. Yet he felt far more irritation and that uncomfortable tenseness in his shoulders. It had been there before he went to sleep and it was still there. Letting loose a growl he planted a hand on one of his hips. “That’s all well and good but do you usually make a habit of tripping over people? Or did my mind numbing good looks distract a little fox like you?” [/style]

Not only was there the crackle of electricity in the air, but he was sensing sass as well, if the pose the other gijinka was attempting to hold said anything. Trying to resist growling - and finding it difficult, all things considering - he brushed some fluff from his shoulder and shrugged. "Listen, cute as you are, I'm not really in the mood to fight. I tripped because you were in the way. Unless you make it a habit to try and trip up perfectly respectable strangers." There it was, Shiro thought with a snort, that little bite in his words that would set anyone off. Of course, he didn't care for being called a little fox, but that was more a hit to his pride than anything. Considering his own stance, the smack had worked to a certain degree - his feet were planted, his fist curled at his sides of their own accord, and he was all but vibrating with what he unconsciously hoped would be a fun, brisk fight with another gijinka. The corner of his mouth curled, and Shiro decided to let all pretenses fall. They were going to spar, there was no question about it. If the sparks in the air weren't a sign of things to come, then certainly their respective stances were. He knew in a heartbeat he could back down, let things smooth over on their own, but he wasn't in the mood to be a peacekeeper today. Not with the ball of piss and vinegar standing opposite him. So he continued to smile, ever wider, as he fixed his first move firmly in his head.[/classy]

CUTE?! Akio bristled further at the word. If he was one thing it certainly WASN’T CUTE. He brought his clenched fists up. The man was just asking for a fight and Akio would be happy to provide one. He was more than happy to let any pretense of politeness or formality slip away. They would fight; he’d known that ever since he’d been so rudely woken. Mostly because there was no way he’d let his attacker off so lightly. A fighting stance was familiar and Akio slipped into it with ease. One arm was held slightly lower than the other as electricity arched around his body. The stranger would at least come out of their fight with paralysis if he had any skill as a fighter. Good thing he was top notch. The gijinka smirked to himself, the man didn’t even know what he’d gotten himself into. “Aww did I strike the foxies nerve?”

[/color] His tone was taunting and his eyes flashing with challenge. “Try and keep up. If you can that is.”[/color]

Using his blazing speed Akio lept across the short distance between the two gijinka. His body was cloaked in electricity as he leveled a Spark at the ninetales. At close range, odds were the attack would land, but what sort of moves did the wiley fox have up his sleeve?

Of course the little bastard had struck a nerve, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to hold back anything. There were words, plenty of improper ones, all waiting to be let loose. But that would give his opponent an advantage, a clear one, and Shiro simply couldn’t allow that. So he took a breath, reminded himself of his smile, and grit his teeth when he was struck by Spark. That had hurt, and his injury growled at him in response. He had to resist grabbing onto his side - another advantage his opponent already had - and instead, shook off the move as best as he could. His body still tingled as he charged up Ember and flicked the flames in Akio’s direction. Whether they hit or not, the heat would at least be felt. He didn’t feel he needed to speak any further, or at all, until they were finished. His displeasure was clear and it wouldn’t take long before one of them admitted defeat - on purpose, or by default. Instead, he tried to calculate what would happen next, but not knowing this gijinka, he had no idea what to expect. Perhaps the stranger could be provoked? That would give Shiro an opening. He considered his options, what might strike a nerve, and he settled on something swiftly. ”All your moves as adorable as that fuzzball Spark? Barely a scratch on me, precious.”[/classy]

He hissed as his hands stung as they tamped out the flames. Running a hand through his somewhat shortened hair, the gijinka growled. Anger made Akio lose control for a second and he had to rein back his reaction before he really hurt his opponent. As it was he raced forward is a quick attack, punching the guy right in his smiling face. Landing on his left foot he brought his body around for a discharge. They were in rapid succession, and lacked some finesse, his anger blinding precision aim. Well Akio wasn’t known for his precision anyway, more for his unyielding attacks. Akio wasn’t one for pretty words or much beyond a growl but he couldn’t help but add a few words of his own. “That’s because I haven’t even gotten started yet. I was hoping you’d packa bit more of a punch myself.”

[/color] He was still testing out the waters, throwing out attacks and seeing what was dodged or not. Yellow eyes narrowed as he fought to regain his split second loss of composure. His opponent could see any of several weaknesses in his form.

He knew it should be easy considering the anger seeping off of his opponent. But they landed, and he hissed through his teeth as the the spot on his face continued to sting. He rotated his jaw and twirled his tongue in his mouth, tasting for blood. There was none, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t have a shiner on his cheek later on. Blood or no, he wasn’t thrilled with either attack, and the smile was no longer plastered on his face. Akio taking the time to speak gave Shiro a moment to breath and recollect himself, though it wasn’t easy - he wanted to lash out while the other gijinka was stating why his attacks had been so “soft” so far. At least, to Shiro’s ears, that’s what it sounded like. He turned his head to spit and ran his shoulder across his mouth. His brows were pinched together and his lip curled in a snarl. “Whatever you say, Sparky.” Hah, that was clever. Yes, from now on, this one would be known as Sparky. And if Sparky wanted a bit more of a punch, then Shiro would oblige him happily. Shiro started out soft, with a Payback, just enough of a punch to perhaps sting. He didn’t stop there. He moved on quickly, trying to breath while he worked through a Fire Blast. It might end up burning Sparky, and if that happened Shiro might feel bad. But he’d deal with the consequences of that later - they were trying to outdo one another, after all.[/classy]

Unfortunately that sort of attack was made worse by the fact he’d rushed in to attack first. The power of his opponents attack was doubled, but he stayed on his feet, shielding his face with his arms from Shiro’s next attack. The fire enveloped him, and if he wasn’t used to using flame charge, the heat would be unbearable. He came through without a burn, but he swayed on his feet a moment. His opponent certainly had some power behind him. Shaking his frazzled locks, Akio cleared his head and glared at Shiro, lip curling up in a snarl. “It’s not Sparky it’s Akio dumbass.”

[/color] At least he would never lose a verbal spar. No one could keep up with his level of snark. Of course he wasn’t going to lose this fight either. So not happening. Quickly running through his options, Akio chose a path that might help him evade better and get past any of his opponents defenses.

Akio knelt on one knee and closed his eyes. He concentrated for a moment, his body growing lighter and muscles under less strain as he used Agility. His body and mind were ready to go even faster than before. Without warning his eyes snapped open and the gijinka took off, his body enveloping in flames. Flame Charge would boost his speed even higher than it was, heavily increasing the odds of his opponent missing in his attacks. Akio laughed as he reveled in his own speed and power. He was asking to be knocked down a peg or two, but he didn’t care. He had found an opponent he didn’t have to hold back with and he was enjoying it.

He was usually relentless in battles, but when sparring against an opponent, he never wanted to purposefully harm them. Bad enough they were likely to come out of this bruised and sore. He was pleased though that his attack hit, enough that it caused Akio to sway and his hair to frizz even more. He bit his lip to keep from laughing, but the shit eating grin was back in place, and it was obvious he was more than pleased with himself and how things were going. So his name was Akio, huh? Well, good to know, but that didn’t mean Shiro was going to stop calling him Sparky. “You look like a Sparky, you act like a Sparky... face it, I’m going to keep calling you Sparky. Nothing you do will change my mind. No attack will-” Okay, so he could use Agility which meant he was going to be even faster. That was a surprise he quickly brushed away. It was something he should have been aware of, anyway. Snarling - more at himself for being so daft - he tried to brace himself for whatever was coming next, and... he laughed, laughed as Akio sped forward with Flame Charge. It singed him alright, the cuffs of his shirt were ruined, but Flash Fire saved him from anymore damage. ”Sparky, you’re fast on your feet, I’ll give you that.” And it was going to be difficult getting any move to land from here on out. But being able to soak up some of that damage, and power up his own flame abilities more than made up for it. Shiro was suddenly full of himself again, which could be harmful if he wasn’t careful. He cast Extrasensory and while waiting to see if it would make Akio flinch - and hit - used his old failsafe Ember in the hopes that one of the two would land. He didn’t have faith in either, considering how fast his opponent was moving.[/classy]
