Miyuki tapped her foot against the paved area, and looked around them.
"This is a good spot," she nodded in agreement as she stepped to the other side of the area.
Stone instead of soil and very few plants, so if the two did trussle hard there wouldn't be much to clean up afterwards. They would probably be a bit cold and wet but better that than muddy.

"You two better stand back," Andarien warned Xion and Rhiannon. "You never know what might happen."
He had learned that the hard way.
"And Ponydash, you need to stay out of this one, it's a one-on-one battle for Eon and Ai, okay?" Andarien told the Ponyta firmly. "You'll get your chance eventually, too."
The Ponyta snorted and pawed at the ground, but otherwise made no protest.
Xion and Rhiannon moved to sit near the wall, huddling together since they'd forgotten their cloaks, and Ponydash trotted over to stand next to them.
Andarien took up position at one end of the flat area. "Ready, Eon?" he called to his Pokemon, grinning.
Eon braced himself against the ground and squeaked. He was ready.

Miyuki took up the other position and smiled at Ai who looked like she was getting into a runner's pose.
"Ready Ai?" she asked.
Ai squeaked and nodded at this.

Andarien wasn't sure what they were going to use as an official start to the battle, but he was saved from wondering for long when Xion shouted out, "Start!"
Almost before he had finished saying the word, Andarien ordered: "Eon! Quick attack!"
Eon sprang into action, his paws blurring as he ran at Ai. He lowered one shoulder to ram her as he approached, to send her flying.

"Bite!" Miyuki replied back.
However she knew Eon was already more than half way across the area by the time she ordered that. Ai had already taken the initiative to try and dodge, but Eon was indeed faster than her. He rammed into her shoulder causing her to tumble.
She reached out to grab a hold of him with her teeth.

Eon felt Ai's teeth along his side, but he didn't let it slow him down.
"Eon, toxic!" Andarien shouted.
Eon tried to stop, but he was going so fast he skidded across the snow-covered bricks. Even so, he was working on his next move. Poison glands in his cheeks began to seep their toxin, and even before he found his footing back he was ready: taking careful but quick aim, he spit the gob of toxic saliva at Ai's face.

Ai let go and turned her head letting out a yelp. She used her paws to try and get it out of her face but it was already taking affect.
"Heal Bell!" Miyuki called out.
The poor Eevee tried her best to get the stuff off of her before opening her mouth and making a sound like a clear bell had rung. It was such a strange move to Miyuki, because she could feel it in her bones as it tended to affect those around the creature as well.

"Quick attack and bite!" Andarien directed Eon.
Eon was already in motion from his previous move, and now he picked up speed once more, baring his teeth in preparation for his next move.

"Bodyslam and bite!" Miyuki decided to go for force since there was no way Ai could complete for speed.
Her hope that the position for bodyslam would be more force to hit than Eon would have expected. Since the attack involved Ai throwing her whole side (and by extension body) at Eon. It was a gamble though, and both of them knew that.
Really it was like force meeting force and both of them ended up hitting each other head on. Mi wasn't even sure if either Eevee got in a bite.

Eon was going too fast to change direction, especially on the slippery snow, and he ran - smack! - right into Ai's exposed side. He lost his balance and tumbled over her, and ended up sliding another ten feet in the snow.
"Shadow ball!" Andarien cried, seeing that Eon wouldn't be ready for another physical attack quite yet.
Even while he was in the process of getting to his feet, Eon opened his mouth. A black shadowy orb appeared in his mouth, quickly growing larger, while purple sparks hissed around it. The moment he was on his feet again, he hurtled the shadowy orb at Ai.

"Dodge and headbutt!"
Really, she could see that Ai was getting tired and while it was a mock battle, it was taking a toll. She frowned a bit as Ai was a bit slower than usual, which against Eon wasn't that good.
In fact while Ai had tried her best to dodge she was still hit and she stumbled before getting back up to try and headbutt Eon. Miyuki was surprised, she thought it would be done, apparently Ai was more stubborn than she would have expected.

"Protect and trump card!" Andarien cried.
Eon concentrated, and given that Ai was slowing down and that there was a bit of distance between them, he just barely had enough time to summon the barrier between them. He was tiring, too, from the tumbles he'd taken, and his side was really hurting from the bite that Ai had taken out of him. Taking his chance to gather his strength in the seconds of protection that his last attack gave him, he summoned the last reserves of his strength.
This was the move that would determine the outcome of the battle: if this didn't finish Ai off, then Eon himself wouldn't have the energy to keep on going. He launched himself at Ai with everything he had, warmth spreading through him as he felt the power of the attack coursing through him.

"Ai!"
It was a sharp exclamation, but it was spoken in the same way that one would tell a partner would watch out. For the only thing Ai could do was to move, but even Ai knew she wouldn't be able to move fast enough. Ai could only then, stand her ground as if she wanted to will one last trick, but she hadn't learned Trump Card unlike Eon.
Suddenly, the little Eevee was engulfed in a bright light that seemed to cover her whole body, and a light purple aura seemed to also surround her as Ai's shape changed. She grew and her tail became slim and split off into two. Instead of a body, it was a psychic blast that met Eon.

Eon let out a shriek of surprise as his body struck the glow like a physical barrier. He was thrown back, and after skidding across the snowy ground, he came to a stop, splayed out on his side and didn't move.
"EON!" Andarien shouted, running after Eon. He picked him up and cradled the Eevee in his arms. Tears trickled down his cheeks. "Eon! Eon, wake up!"
For a moment, Eon didn't move, and Ponydash ran up to make sure he was okay. Seeing Eon's unmoving form, Ponydash turned to face Ai and Miyuki and reared up. neighing angrily.
"Ponydash, no!" Andarien cried. "They didn't mean to!"
At the noise, Eon opened his eyes slightly and let out a pitiful mewl, and only then did Ponydash calm down a bit.
"Is he okay?" Rhiannon asked anxiously, running up to see how Eon was.
Xion, however, wanted to see what was going on with Ai. "What happened?" he asked in amazement.

Miyuki had taken a step back when Ponydash had done that, and even after it calm down she was eying him warily. She knew from her time on the ship that Ponydash, while loyal tended to be more assertive, it hadn't occurred to her he would try to attack her and Ai.
Yes, she was worried about Eon, but what Ponydash had done had given her a startled fright. He wasn't a small pokemon anymore after all and she knew from talking to Shiro that those hooves were hard.
Ai though didn't seem to care, she dashed over to Eon, all the while giving a scathing talk to Ponydash about his actions, and how they would never purposely hurt Eon. Feeling refreshed from the growth, she wasn't afraid of the fire pokemon and had been upset that he would show aggression towards her owner. Once she was sure that Ponydash would make no other moves she went over to close to Eon and began to lick him.
