">Stop no WIN!<" The hefty heifer mooed, throwing her body against the Skarmory once more. This time she wasn't even slapping at the big metal bird, instead she was merely throwing all her weight into the Skarmory, showing her just what she could do! A few more steps and this would all be over, and Jasmine would experience the defeat so many had against the gym leader of Goldenrod in ancient times!
((Dislike rushing this, but it's like ripping a bandaid off I guess <_<))
Ironclaw could feel all that weight, all of it upon her, her thinner legs buckling back nearly under the pressured but she would do everything she could to stay upright... The line if the ring was right behind her... But she'd be damned if she lost AND went down at the same time as well!
[You've got moxie... But even if you win-] Her talons clawed in as she pushed backward, pressing that metal chest outward at the Miltank's advances. [Wont let you hurt her! Keep that in your head!]

Izzy +5/-5 Ironclaw
Poor choice of words it would seem, as the Miltank pushed the Skarmory the rest of the way out of the ring; but it wasn't to be the end. Using the momentum she'd already built the feisty bovine would take a better hold on Ironclaw, lifting her up, before shifting both their weights and tossing the big metal bird straight into it's trainer!
When the pair came to it would be to find the Miltank had vacated the premises, shield, chair, and all.
That was about all Ironclaw could think as she span through the air like a fired shot putt, unable to open her wings in time, only catching sight of her target as Jamsine was trying to open arms to catch her?!?
She would have squawked a hundred insults to try an at the girl to run, but alas she didn't have time for one as she'd collide with the ground and year it apart, just barely avoiding Nightingale in the commotion!
Over and over she rolled, slicing apart forestry and shrubbery in turn with those unforgiving bladed feathers.
When finally she came to, she shook her head giddily. [Oi... I-]
[Jasmjne!] Realization kicked in as she stood up to see what was left of the girl.
Only to find nothing there but rent apart dirt. Swinging her head atop her Eco to see where the girl had landed, she would see we instead hanging from the stubby little arms of Burnout, the Lampent slowly lowering her back to terra forma. [Good thing one of us was doing their job...]
Ironclaw snorted, but she gave no reply as she glanced away.
"it's alright, really, I'm fine..." jasmine would try to at least assure as she touched the ground and Burnout made sure and could support herself.
And Nightinale, last to unfurl , looked at the scene, looking at the vanished Miltank, then back to the others... [...Now what?]
((wheeee, last post for a while...))

((Consider my point proven.))
Looking about them, the group would oddly enough spot yet another Miltank, though this one was clearly different from the other one. Donning a pair of blue denim overalls, this Miltank was down on her knees, behind a small picket fence, and apparently....gardening? She seemed to be plucking weeds and tending to some sort of odd pepper, never straying too far from a rather impressive looking hammer sitting upside down in a corner of the fence.
There was a collective silence as the group peered through the tunnel Ironclaw had inadvertantly made through the growth to see the second Miltank there.
Nightingale looked up quizzically, about to ask the obvious question when Jasmine shook her head, a hand out toward the Chansey as she'd adjust her crutch and move forward, "You guys... Just wait a second."
"Maybe if I go alone..." She caught the eye of the floating Lampent glowering at her, before walking forward toward the Miltank. "Excuse me...?"
She waited until she was a little closer to the picket fence, but keeping at least a little respectful distance, "It's getting quite dangerous out here, I appreciate you're in the middle of gardening... But shouldn't you be getting to safety just now?"
"Do you need any help at all?"

Ada would tense up the moment the scenery took a turn for the worse. As lightning struck from the skies above her, Impromptu would be sent off into a frenzy, running around and barking at every crack of thunder. He would almost trip his trainer, in fact, the girl stopping in her tracks to avoid stepping on him and nearly losing her balance. When she regained footing she'd hear the voice, however, and she'd slowly turn her head to look.
No ******** way.
Ada would go wide-eyed at the sight of her sister. "What...are you doing here?" She left for school to get AWAY from her! She should be a thousand miles away back home working the lunch rush! As far as the magician was concerned, this girl had no place in her life anymore. So, why...?
"N-no...a dirty trick, this is all just a trick!" It had to be, there was no other way...! Ada would lean over and reach into her boot, taking out what appeared to be one blade, though when she pulled at the handle it would split to reveal that it was instead two identical blades that gave the illusion of being one when stacked. She would hold the right one out in front of her and pointed at the duplicate of her sister while the other took a more defensive position, her feet spreading apart and taking up a firm stance on the ground to match. Impromptu would note this change and stand by his partners side, the small mutt arching his back and growling at the familiar.
"Stay away from me...!" Ada would exclaim. She was slightly trembling now, but she would not back down. A mixture of rage, surprise and fear had overtaken her, and she would try her hardest to pull back all signs of weakness. Fake or not, she would never show her sister that she was the weaker one!
She would wait for the other one to make a move first, though it was clear that the girl was not above attacking using herself as the weapon.
The Miltank would respond with a rather girlish giggle ">That's kind of you sweetie, but I assure you I can take care of my self<" She said in an almost motherly tone, gesturing briefly to the rather large warhammer stored in the corner of the garden. Once that was done she'd resume pulling weeds out by their roots, as well as harvesting the peppers which were ripe and placing them in a basket ">Besides if I go who'd tend to the garden? These Canine Peppers aren't going to take care of themselves!<" She'd go on to declare, though her voice still remained surprisingly soft ">...but feel free to help sweetie, an extra hand is always appreciated<" The Miltank added, reaching up and ruffling Jasmine's hair in a somewhat parental gesture.
The Miltank certainly seemed okay as Jasmine observed, following direction to the hammer...
And then the ruffling happened. Jasmine wasn't sure how to respond, standing still for a moment of so after before the smile happened. Was that really the city time anyone had gave her such a gesture?
Certainly it was the first in the longest time...
And the feeling was... Warm... Fuzzy even... She felt a little hesitant to act at first when a stubby metal arm hooked under her shoulder and she would turn to see Burnout pulling at her. "Burnout?"
[You heard her Jasmine. She does not require our assistance. Now enough if these distractions, we must away!]
"Hold on!" She yanked her arm away, stumbling for a second on her crutch, but stopping herself from tumbling over at least, looking at the former Arcanine even as his flame seemed to tingle and grow. "We can afford to take a little time I think."
The flames spat and flickered inside Burnout's lamp as his eyes narrowed and smoke billowed from the tiniest of gaps in his housing. [Jasmine. So far we have stopped for a Psyduck in search of an ice cream headache... A Buneary trying to bathe her young... Do I need to go on how unneccessary this is?!]
Jasmjne's lips were pursed, she thought and thought quickly when we replied, coolly, "You're talking about us hurrying, maybe out problem is we're in too MUCH of a hurry?"
"We've not managed to help a single one f the pokemon we met, because we were too busy trying to rush them, maybe we could USE a breather."
"This isn't the Path of kindness for nothing!" She nodded at him before about turning, nodding to Ironclaw as she was still gathering herself up. "Ironclaw, you held in good and tight... But use Roost and rest yourself for a bit... You deserve it."
As Burnout would scowl at her, she finally went back to the Miltank, and whether or not it was because it was a dream, or because she was so intent in helping, she didn't seem to have any trouble seating herself with her braces as she'd offer a small smile to the Miltank. "So... How can I help?"
[And count me in too!] Came a second voice.
Jasmine would turn around and there stood Nightingale, waddling forward with an even larger smile. [Helping I'd my specialty after all!]
The girl would raise only one eyebrow ...as she cross her arms.
"Well, I ...shouldn't be surprise. You always was a lil' hoodlum. It's why your mom was so quick to drop you for us."
"We were the better family afterall."
The girl would smile as she drew out not something from her side as well. An elegant weapon for a woman, she would pull free a fencer's sword.
"Don't think you are the only one who learned how to protect oneself. Now, since, you are cowering on the field of battle, how about we actually go about this as ladies, or maybe, you have been rolling around with the dog's for so long ...you are covered in fleas."
She would point the blade at the Growlithe at Ada's side.
"Come at me brat, but, let's fight with our pokemon ....I don't wanna leave any bruises or cuts on you." "Momma, never liked it when we fought. Even though ...I always let you win in the end, so you can get in trouble. IF I cut you up ...well I can't get away with those big doe eyes can I?"
She snicker wickedly.
"So, what do you say, sister?"

">It's easy sweet pea<" The Miltank said in her usual sweet tone of voice ">You just reach down, pull, and toss<" She instructed, slowly performing each step to pull a large ripe pepper and tossing it in the basket beside her ">Watch for green ones though. They're not done yet, and once they've been picked it's too late!<" She warned, shaking her hoof as if it were just the one finger. After that the large pink bovine would pick up the basket and wander off a ways to work in a different section of the garden ">Just holler when you find a good one dear, and I'll be sure to catch it<."
Pepper Picker Objective: Pick the most ripe peppers! Rules: Roll 5 D20. Each roll will decide the degree of ripeness, and your over all aim. Rolls from 2-5 will be under ripe, worth one point. Rolls fo 15-19 will be over ripe, also 1 point. Rolls between 6-14 are perfect, worth 2 points. A roll of 1 will be green, worth -4 points. A roll of 20 will be rotten, and cause Marble to automatically miss the next catch. Three rounds. Each time I will roll 1 D20 to decide Marble's position. Rolls more then 5 above or below will miss the basket.
((Once again, the return of the quick post! Whee!))
Jasmine would nod, watching the basket as the Miltank would head off to tend to another area of her garden. "Alright..."
"Seems easy enough..." She mumbled to herself, looking back at the peppers in front of her. Pull, pick, toss...
She began reaching toward one and pulled experimentally... Then again, taking a deep breath as she would pull harder, then have to stop for a breath.
All the while, Burnout hovered in silence watching her, with a resting Ironclaw curled in the ground below him. She knew they didn't mean it, well, maybe Burnout did, but having them watch her did make her feel a little selfconcscious of herself at work...
That was when another set of stubby hands reached in and helped. Nightingale smiling. [How about we do it together, hmm?]
Jasmine returned the expression, before looking at there target, keeping in MHz where it was placed for now, then back to Nightingale. "Alright then, lets get to it."
With that declaration, the two pulled at once to grab the first of many peppers!

((Quick, but since it gets the job done...))
The only reason Culann wasn't giving a most grumpy howl of frustration currently grated against his teeth and gums in a most annoying manner. Still, a grumble was building up in his throat. The things he did for crazy, fairly useless women. He lunged forward in another attempt to splash the blasted Buneary.
