			            He was right in the expectation because she was happy to fit right along with them as she landed heavily with a roll. Getting up on her feet she would whirl even as her claws would come at the pokemon's head with enough force to literally rip into her opponent and tear his head off of his shoulders if she wasn't careful.
 NO, this pokemon wanted his blood, and planned on getting it ....out of him.

 Tsuki returned Prime after he had been struck. This guy was strong but the Mankey got a Leer on it now at least. Sending out Blaze he said "Defend Blaze!" loudly. Blaze moved his arms in an X fashion as he prepared for a strike. If all went well they could use Lick and paralize the sucker. Good thing Prime started out with Leer. If the Low Kick had hit it would have been a tremendous help. But no use crying over spilt milk.

 The switch was quick .....as the Heatmor appeared. And it seemed that the Drillbur was even happier to see this foe. This creature that had been the ruin of so many, and she knew she was going to be the one to bring him down ....as she mash her claws together. Concentrating on her claws she was imagining them gaining strength as she tries to bring more force into them using it ....before her eyes would settle upon her opponent once more, and she swung at that pokemon once more using Scratch.

			            Blaze laughed at the pathetic attack thrown by the Drillbur. He flicked the attack away in fact. The Guardian of the Island of Beginnings and the Bane of Iron Island. It had a ring to it. "Use Lick now Blaze and paralize it if you can." said Tsuki as the Heatmor flashed a happy look. A long tounge popped out his mouth than flew at the Drillbur. They meant to do damage and paralize it in the process!

			            Though the Drillbur didn't seem to think much of this pokemon's attack either as she put up her guard. Seeing that tongue snaking towards her ...she would reach out to grab it and keep it away from her skin. Eyes narrowed.
 ((you are quite pathetic ..from rock did you crawl out from underneath))
 
 She declares sharply to the pokemon and that tongue as she hold to hold onto it long enough to literally tear it off. If she could only catch it.

			            ((6 damage so Drillbur has 11 HP left. How do we factor in paralysis?))
 Blaze smiled. -I am from the desert where only the small and weak burrow. You would fit in!- the Heatmor said as his tounge slithered all over the Drillbur. His attempts at catching the tounge failed utterly. It simply dodged it and smacked the mole in the face.
 
 "Alright now prepare for another strike!" Tsuki said as Blaze put up his defense. They had a fair standing in the match but again, they wouldn't get cocky. Well... Blaze might but he was bold like that. To face just about anything.

			            (+5 must be the difference for paralysis to occur)
 The drilbur was caught by the attack. A shallow wound of course as she wipe the saliva from her face. She could help wondering how such an attack got through her defense. She grimace lightly as she glare at him. This wasn't to be the end of this she promise as she tugged her nose once before she lunge for him.
 
 (you take that back!)
 
 She screamed as she looked to knock him over and rip his tongue out of his mouth with a scratch.

			            Blaze whacked the scratch away with his arm. Blaze laughed and said -You should have seen the Ferroseed and Durant scream. If that ant didn't turn into a puddle or survived I would have had a nice lunch.- Tsuki sighed in relief. Good the attack did nothing. They were having good luck in this match. Best not let luck determine who wins though. Lady luck tended to be a cruel mistress.
 "You're doing wonderful. Use Lick again!" Tsuki said as the Heatmors tounge came back out and lunged for the Drillbur.

			            Removing the balls from the counter, Raven would attach them one at a time back onto his belt. It was a simple method to carry such things; but sometimes the simplest approach was the best. If one went to lengths to create some ornate or complicated way of carrying Pokeballs, they might lose sight of the entire point behind their placement. 
 Easy access. The faster you could release a Pokemon, the better.
 
 Once all three balls were in place, Raven would place his left hand upon his chest, and the right upon his back. Leaning forward, the boy would perform a brief bow to the two Joys "Thank you." After he had completed that gesture, the child would straighten, his hands returning to their usual locations, then turn about and depart the Pokemon Center.
 
 His team was healed; now it was time to return to the task at hand. He had a Gym Leader to face.
 
 Heading off in the direction of the Gym, a smile briefly pulling it's way onto his face. Yes, the boy was looking forward to this. He did not care whether he met victory or defeat; it was simply the opportunity he looked forward to. The chance to combat a Gym Leader...something so fewer people could say any more. Most importantly, it would be a valuable experience.
 
 Retracing his steps through the pathway by memory alone, Raven would make his way swiftly to the back of the Gym...or at least the portion where the Leader stood. He assumed it was the back of the Gym, or at least close to it.
 
 Slowing his pace, Raven would stop somewhere around eight to ten feet away  from the Gym's Leader, the man whom he'd encountered when original entering the building. "So it would seem this little play has reached it's final act" The boy stated, his voice calm and neutral; but his eyes would betray him. Though all aspects of the child seemed perfectly placid, his crimson eyes dance and flickered like twin infernos. He was excited, perhaps even beyond that, to words which no one had even bothered to invent yet.
 
 Raven was looking forward to what was to come; there was little doubting that.

			            One of the Nurse Joys would actually blush at what was done. The other smiles grew broader.
 "Make that academy is teaching some of them some manners."
 
 Then they watched as he left them.
 
 
 The man smiled broadly at his appearances. Arms crossed, he would actually give a small wink in his direction ....as he walks towards him. The man was much taller than Raven ...standing at about 6' 5 .....he was a mountain of a man at the best of times, and the smile that grace his face would have made anyone join in. For despite his size, his face that reminds one of a crag in a crater ...didn't come across as dangerous or tough. Just old, wise, and dependable ...as he ran his hand across his short gray hair. The man's dark skin in this lighting seemed to be darker, and stop before the boy as he does his own version of a bow. Though not as deep due to age .....
 
 "I Welcome you to our humble gym." "You have taken the warriors path to get here it seems, through both of my children." "One of flesh and one of soul, so now ....you fight me."
 
 "This place Master, and let me make this clear ....this won't be easy."
 
 He looked as close into Raven's eyes as the bow would allow and his age and height will permit.
 
 "But, this is where you shall fail."
 
 He straighten up.
 
 "There aren't many that have earned the Iron Badge from me." "So, now is your time to decide, I will only use three pokemon for this match, and you may switch in whatever pokemon you chose." "Or, it can be yours against two ....and I join the fight."
 
 "The choice is yours."
 
 "Though be aware, while my pokemon have lost in battle ....I haven't since I have become gymleader here."
 
 The man smiles wildly.
 
 The dance of excitement ran in his blood.

			            The pokemon's move was swatted away .....as she lands back on her paws. Her eyes narrowed in anger ....as she watches the incoming antics of the pokemon. Her claws crossing in a defensives stances as she saw that tongue again ...this creature was trying to defeat her with such a weak attack. Though she had no plans of letting herself be easily defeated like that ...she aimed her attacks for that tongue, to pin it beneath her claws. To stop it from hitting up against her ....as she stretches one leg out, and then the other.
 As her eyes seemed to radiate darkness and and she moved to catch that tongue once more. She had failed before, and it had hit, but she wouldn't this time ...she promised herself as she moves.

			            "That alone makes the choice quite clear..." Raven would state, somehow managing to hold his placid expression even now, an ability which had quite literally been beaten into him "...for what trainer worth their salt could resist doing something few others have done or experienced?" He asked, though the question was quite clearly rhetorical. 
 As if to make the point clear, the boy would press against the hilt of his sword, pushing the blade no more then an inch out of the scabbard. No, he didn't think for an instant fighting this man would be any easier then his Pokemon. All the more reason for him to make this choice then. He was here for the experience, for what he could learn in the face of such a challenge.
 
 Victory was simply a bi-product of the lesson. If he lost, so be it; defeat was often an event better teacher, and he would simply need to try his hand again at another time.
 
 Letting his other hand rest upon his belt, Raven would allow himself the faintest of smirks "Ready when you are."

 Ada looked over this place now. Well, Excel had to be somewhere...certainly not working in the center, though. She'd hate to go in and ask anyways, they had to be busy working right now. Likewise, she was sure the gym was busy (she'd just seen that one kid from before, Raven, going in), so she wouldn't ask in there. Pokemart might kick her out for coming in with no money, so that only (logically) left...
 
 Okay, that sounded all right. Maybe she'd walk around the residential area for a bit. If someone was out jogging or walking their lillipups, she would ask them if they knew where Excel could be found. They had to know, anyways, if he lived here at least one person had to know.
 
 She pat Impromptu on the head, walking over to all the houses now, hands in her pockets as she walked around the area. She wouldn't draw unnecessary attention to herself (the top hat and the outfit already did that quite well)

			            "As you wish, but pokemon first, and then .....me."
 The older man had no plan of battling at the same time as his pokemon it would seem. That was Alex's mistake ....and even Tirrani had fallen in the same kind of trap. For, the pokemon rely on their pokemon for direction ...as he simply click one pokeball from his belt.
 
 Flipping it high into the air ...the creature would come back down to earth with a smash. Feet spread wide as it looks over at his partner and then ahead towards whatever enemy might come at him.
 
 This was to be his first fight it would seem ...the pokemon he had chosen.
