Ugh! His plans to distract her from getting involved in this stupid thing failed once again. Watching as TRP skittered away to go place her bet, Seth sighed and rolled his eyes. Damn.
Sauntering over to peer over TRP's shoulder with narrowed eyes. He looked skeptical.
"This gambling habit will be your undoing. You'll lose your money again."
He was always Mr. Sunshine you know.
Nikki held onto her squirming Eevee and watched amusedly. She didn't care to bet her money, and instead was just a bystander. All the other fights were relatively pointless, but she had to see if this Umbreon was up to snuff.
As bets were placed and tickets handed out, the ref made the motions to get this thing underway.
"I want a good clean fight!" He shouted, to which there were howls of laughter. His statement was obviously sarcastic.
"Ready... FIGHT!"
At the signal the all but rabid Raticate lept into action. Its fangs aiming to sink into the black pelt of its dark opponent.

While this whole pit-fighting thing was completely asinine in Sierra's opinion, she wasn't blind to what was going on. And she recognized bullying when she saw it. Ugh, if she cared enough to get involved in other people's business, she'd have shown those punks a thing or two.
That's how it went in her mind anyway. However, her only loyal Pokemon battler was too big to maneuver in here, and her recent acquisition, well...
As if on cue, one of the Pokeballs at her belt wiggled as if in protest. Maybe it was against her better judgment, but she sighed and pressed the button to release the Pokemon inside, immediately scooping Marle up as soon as she appeared.
Displeased, the Pikachu decided to show her displeasure by immediately setting about gnawing on Sierra's hand and wrist. The human only glared down at her, secretly taking encouragement from the fact that this was as bad as she was behaving for now. Could have been worse...electricity could have been involved. "You're not getting loose, so just stop squirming and behave. At least you can see what's going on out here."
Still not exactly happy about the situation, Marle stilled a bit, though made a point of making a face at her so-called 'trainer' before turning to see what all the noise was about nearby. Both pairs of eyes were on the fight, Sierra silently cheering the Umbreon on as she stood and walked closer to the barbaric nonsense.

 "I've got a good feeling about the little guy." She smirked, looking back at Seth. "Besides, nothing wrong with bolstering confidence in a new recruit. You should try it some time. If you ever get tired of the death glare approach, that is." She chuckled.

Faleen glanced sharply at the sarcastic remark from the ref, but she did not comment, looking back into the fight and screaming with everyone else, pounding her fist on the railing around the ring.
Umbreon let out a howl when the Raticate moved. but he wasn't left standing there when the ref called for the start of the match, he made an aggressive charge as well. body ducking sharply, low to the ground as he darted forward as quickly as he could, jaws opening with a sharp growl as he lunged his first fanged attack to the underside of his opponent.

Seth huffed in indignance. "You have your methods, and I have mine. We've talked about this."
Standing rigid and looking irritable, the elite glowered at the starting fight. "Good feeling my a**. Do what you will." With a dismissive wave, Seth turned on his heel and headed for the door. He had better things to do.
Nikki watched as the fight began, her attention riveted on the tactics each Pokemon took. The Umbreon seemed to be going for a swift victory by trying to attack the weak points first. Not a bad plan, but this Raticate seemed like a seasoned fighter, she doubed it would be that easy.
The Raticate seemed unperturbed as the Umbreon when for its belly, which was protected by thick fur. The bite landed but didn't do enough damaged to deter it. Infact, perhaps that was what the rat was counting on? Because its teeth aimed to bite down on the back of the eeveelution's neck just as swiftly and with purpose.

He knew something was wrong when he didn't even taste blood in his mouth. just thick strands of dirty fur. it hit him hard when he realized that he was in an extremely vulnerable position when he felt the Raticate move forward under his teeth Umbreon jerked as quickly as he could to try and move away from what he knew was coming.
When he felt long, sharp and thick teeth slice through the skin an muscle in his shoulder, getting his neck out of the way, the dark type let out a scream, quickly trying to stifle it with a vicious snarl. he wasn't going to give up like that, not so soon.
he writhed in the Raticate's teeth, trying to throw it off balance somehow, keep it from biting down anymore. both his claws flying up, feverishly tearing, gouging and digging at each corner of the Rat's large mouth.

TRP watched him go, still smirking. She returned to Furin, who was still floating by Nikki, examining her ticket along the way.

After getting his muzzle scratched up, the Raticate let go and jumped away to put some distance between them. The rat pokemon pretty much drowning out all the cheers and shouting around them and focusing only on his opponent. After all, his wins were what got him fed in the evening, and that was motivation enough.
The rat scurried on all fours, pacing a few times as he determined his next move. In the next instant the rat charged once more, making another mad dash for the Umbreon. Its greatest weapon was its fangs, and this he aimed another vicious bite.
Nikki finally looked up at the floating Chimecho beside her. She wasn't entirely sure why it decided to levitated near her, but okay. There were not many psychic types she liked, but a Chimecho was tolerable.

TRP stuffed the ticket in her pocket and stopped by Furin, turning back around to face the fight.
Furin drifted closer to Nikki. The little windchime pokemon tended to be friendly around Rockets she was familiar with. "Chii.."

Faleen felt extremely sick when the Raticate pulled away, watching as blood gushed freely from Umbreon's shoulder. she stood very still, watching intently, hoping, hoping trying to WILL her Umbreon, since she can't give him orders.
Umbreon barely had time to regain his proper footing, with a shoulder damaged. the Raticate was attacking again. it was fast, he knew that.
He knew he could not run to put off the attack, if he was going to have any chance in winning he had to put those teeth out of commission somehow.
using his back legs he pushed himself sharply up into the air. arching his back in a very fox like manor as he aimed his weight to the top of Raticate's head.

As the fight progressed, the Pikachu started to grow fidgety again, though her irritation seemed less aimed at her 'trainer' and more in tune with the events of the battle. When Marle's cheeks started sparking, however, Sierra took a glance around the room and leaned in to hiss sharply, "Cut that out right now, missy, else it's back into the Pokeball, you hear me?" Letting out a grumbling growl, the Pikachu lessened the sparks jumping from her cheeks...honestly, she was still getting used to her new evolved form and increased power.
Still, the human didn't need to know that.
Sierra sighed, shaking her head slightly as she glanced back up at the fight. What was getting into the little electric mouse? Normally, she didn't seem to be one for battling...other than with Sierra herself, or her Pokemon. Of course, given the situation, that made sense. It'd taken a long time and a LOT of careful handling after stealing the then-Pichu from her young owner before Sierra felt it safe to let the little one out without risk of electrocution.
She had yet to figure out WHY the little Pichu had evolved. Perhaps pure determination could take the place of a Pokemon's happiness under certain circumstances. She had no knowledge of the odd conversations that had occurred from time to time between her Pidgeot, Celeste, and the new arrival.
And yet, still the little bugger tried to escape from time to time for a while. Now...she seemed more content to irritate her trainer and use her for a chew toy.
At least she'd stopped drawing blood with those little needle teeth.
Sierra shook out of her musings (and blank stare at the battle), to glance around, noting that Nikki, TRP, and Seth were all still watching the fight as well. This had become far from the usual weekly pit-battles, it seemed, considering the 'prestigious' audience gathered to watch. The dark-haired Rocket only sighed, trying to discretely keep her agitated Pikachu under control in her arms.

Nikki smirked at the Chimecho and used a finger to poke at the end of its long tail. Bira though, had stopped squirming and was now staring intently at the fight.
"Veee..." the little fluffball murmured. The Umbreon didn't seem to be in a good spot, but she was silently cheering for him. Surely he could turn this fight around!
Nikki didn't even so much as glance at Seth as he made his departure. Bah. Good riddance says she.
The snarly, practically foaming Raticate suddenly found itself stopped in his tracks as the Umbreon jumped on his head. The weight of the eeveelution causing him to faceplant into the floor. The rat thrashed under the weight, trying desperately to get the other Pokemon off.

Umbreon maintained his full strength onto the Raticate’s head trying to crush his face into the floor, his jaw dropped open, all his fangs bared as he hissed and growled viciously, his eyes wide and furious, claws extending to tangle through Raticate’s fur, quickly becoming drenched as more blood poured out of his shoulder from the harsh movement. The Dark type was starting to feel a little light headed now, as much as he tried to shake it off.
Panting softly, he shifted a paw to try and find the back of the Radicate’s neck.
