The man was digging around in his pockets for a pokeball when he finally noticed Milarnie in the distance. He frowned, adjusted his monocle, and then let out a gasp. “Young miss’s idol!!” (By this admission, it was likely that the “young” in the young miss was likely referring to a fresh adult not yet responsible enough to do more than fully enjoy their position in life and not a true youth.) “O-Oh my, are these your pokemon?”The honedge sheathed itself and then snapped its tapestry-like appendage. “Darn! I thought we were going to get a cute one of the young miss…”“We have!” the man insisted. “Perhaps we can get something of equal value! An autograph!” … That was definitely an attempted whisper, but it was entirely too loud to be an actual secret conversation between the man and his partner. Still, he acted as if any of that had been clandestine and straightened himself up from where he’d crouched to chat with his partner. He cleared his throat, adjusted his jacket, and waved stiffly. “Greetings, miss! What brings you to this place?”The honedge, less interested in something that didn’t promise a battle, mimicked the wave with so much less enthusiasm that it was less of a wave and more of a crumpling wilt of its fabric-like arm.

Milarnie "Arnie" Colt Me, spoilt? I just know what I want....
Mila took a few moments to pause, take a deep breath, and then settled her hair around herself as she heard the fluttering of her flying types wings shift. There was a different between then princes wanted to move fast, when she wanted to move far and when there was someone she could see nearby and didnt want to seem like she was putting in all that effort. Advantages of the extra height, and what not.
As such, when mila heard the voice, she still had to spin on the spot once to see who it was and where they were, and once more for effect of course, before she giggled softly and glanced down to her pokemon. "Oh? To whom am i speaking?" she asked, entirely missing the quiet words between the duo which, the fox and the cat both heard, and were entirely thankful the gijinka had missed as a glance between them showed.
"I'm out to train my team, a few of them have evolution in their offings and im trying to work on that. Well, Princess more than most as i have such plans for her appeals when shes all shiny and big, but the others too" the woman explained, waving a hand over her golbat a moment later after the words the man had said sunk in. He might not know her team by name, any of of hers would, she assumed, at least the more common and better known of her pokemon but someone connected by merely being close? It was better to assume they werent so smart, well they werent her fan, they had to be less smart. | NOTES |

Working on evolutions? The honedge floated a little higher. Its tassel-arm furled and waved in turn. Working on evolutions sounded like training. Training included battles. Battles was the kind of work it liked. “Another flying type? The young miss is such a fan of your, ah, what was the creature’s nickname…? The talonflame. My apologies, my humble honor is to assist her in her hobbies, not become directly involved myself.” There was scarcely time to watch or read every one of Milarnie’s media appearances with how much the man had to do himself. He just made sure to arrange for the delivery (from legitimate sources or secondhand by scalpers) whenever new products for the Milarmies dropped. “... Forgive my manners. I allow myself too much slack when out here in the wilds searching for new acquisitions.”The man bowed. “I am Archibald. My assistant here accepts his species name as a title.” Milarnie's fame went far ahead of her; her introduction was unnecessary. Though, perhaps not asking played into his wilderness induced lapse in manners? The honedge shifted a bit in acknowledgment. “And, if it’s perhaps not too much to ask… Perhaps we could assist in your endeavors to evolve some of your team in exchange for a paltry token? My young miss would be incredibly thrilled to have your autograph.”Someone is in the way!(Showdown sprites)ARCHIBALD with HONEDGE #526345 & #2695ec level 14 | 140/140 HP genderless with the no guard ability MOVES: tackle, swords dance, fury cutter, metal sound, pursuit, shadow sneak

Hatti moaned softly as the other trainer spoke, Savi tilting her head to one side as she heard this but also listening to the other trainer. She knew it was coming but even so, as mila gave a little squeal at becoming the focus of attention, the pair both winced. "Oh Hibiscus? My darling Hibi was my first and he was my winner too but he's well known now, a girl cant be going out getting more famous in the same outfit, so i need to be much the same with pokemon" the gijinka replied, giggling a little as she explained herself.
She did blink a few more times as the man spoke again, some of those words flying right past her head but she got a few of them in there and the look on Princess's face told her the meaning of the rest. The woman grinned, moving one hand to begin tapping pokeballs on her belt and recalling her other team mates before she paused. "Well, how about you win you can pick any prize, and if i win, you tell me a little more about the pokemon around here to aid evolution all the more" the woman countered, more for the sake of countering than to really come to a deal. | NOTES |

That made sense to Archibald. Certainly, it wouldn’t do for a lady to do things that would imply there was less than ample resources available to her. Not to mention the necessity of following fashion or even setting the trends ones’ self! He understood more and more why his young lady adored this star. “That’s a most generous offer,” the man agreed. He turned to his companion. “Now, you do your best out there, but keep in mind that this is a friendly match. The same as when we fetch new friends for our young lady, hm? No marks.”“No marks,” the honedge repeated. To punctuate the point, he adjusted his sheath to make sure he was fully within. There would be no sharp blade to cause meaningful injuries. Satisfied, the man stood straight. “There. You may have the first move, if you would like.”Someone is in the way!(Showdown sprites)ARCHIBALD with HONEDGE #526345 & #2695ec level 14 | 140/140 HP genderless with the no guard ability MOVES: tackle, swords dance, fury cutter, metal sound, pursuit, shadow sneak

Mila tilted her head to one side at the other trainers words, opening her mouth to make an offer of who to fight before there was a pop and she looked down to find Hatti on the floor in front of her with her tail raised. The gijinka raised an eyebrow, pretty sure that was not a smart option but within moments, hatti seemed to take the chance given.
It was coming from a place stubbornness, this pokemon had a type she was good with and one which really hurt her and she wanted to prove a point. This point starting with a pale white mist around the kitten, wrapping around her and making the grey pokemon disappear in to the haze before she dove out from the mist, claws raised and eyes glowing as she tried to bat at the ghost type. | 160/160 - Level stats HATTI USED MIST MIST 0/5 HATTI USED FOUL PLAY - 95BP + 16 (STAB) + 10 (SE) = 121P |

Seeing its potential foe disappear in the Mist only enticed the honedge. It rushed into the obscuring haze, dauntless and unafraid. The ghost scarcely even tried to dodge the feline’s Foul Play. Rather, the honedge accepted the hit with the same eagerness it lashed out with its own. With its true edge still sealed away within its sheath, the ghost swung itself. A faint green glow burst from within that dull case. It was at once an attack and an empowering move. This sword was nearly always dancing. Though it had not departed from its opponent, would allowing the kitten to get so close allow it to get in a hit of its own? Archibald stayed silent, struggling to observe what was going on. That Mist was rather thick.

HATTI’S FOUL PLAY hit!

Well she had not been expecting it to go that way.
Hatti blinked a little on shock as the steel type didnt seem to avoid her, it didnt even try to do anything against her really, just took the hit right to the body, face, whatever. She shook her head out as she tried to adjust to this, already planning her next move.
Only, she forgot he got one too. The attack caught her across her back as she turned away, trying to earn some distance, only to feel pain burning over her fur. She hissed in pain and was annoyed the steel type had drawn the noise out of her but refused to waste it, turning the sound in to a soft growl before she flicked herself around and lashed her tail through the mist, sending a burst of icy grey in its wake. | 100/160 - Level stats FURY CUTTER HIT MIST 1/5 HATTI USED GROWL HATTI USED POWDER SNOW - 40BP + 16 (STAB) = 56P <11 TO FRZ |

A blow for a blow! The honedge was elated. This was battle! This was glorious combat! No holding back, no wimpy parrying, no cowardly dodging! Just the brute strength of two contenders giving their very best! So delighted by the little feline’s furious Growl was the steel type that it didn’t think to consider what the Mist would do to its own use of Metal Sound. The ghost held itself steady against the snow, preparing another round of Fury Cutter which would no doubt be stronger than the last… If, well, it had dodged. But, for a creature with the No Guard ability, expecting them to any sooner avoid an opponent’s attack would be the same as asking them to try not doing their best to hit the other. So, in short, Hatti’s Powder Snow struck the honedge. “I am bested!” it announced with rather hammy bravado. It then clattered to the ground, fabric-arm still for once. Archibald sighed. “I know that sound. My friend, we are going to have to change your ability, aren’t we? Or, invest in enough defensive capability to make anything except you weakening a pokemon so I might catch it viable…”
The sword-like pokemon grumbled, barely conscious after having been beaten. Someone is in the way!(Showdown sprites)ARCHIBALD with HONEDGE #526345 & #2695ec level 14 | 0/140 HP genderless with the no guard ability MOVES: tackle, swords dance, fury cutter, metal sound, pursuit, shadow sneak
GROWL hit! POWDER SNOW hit! … HONEDGE fainted!
HONEDGE was definitely trying to do something, but it fainted… Oh well.
HATTI won! 75 for winning + (2 posts x 5 NPC bonus) = 85 EXP

Wait, it just stood there and took it?
Hatti was indeed happy to see the steel type fall, she was proud to see her move strike the pokemon ands the cold to move up its blade before it fell to the ground but it seemed not to even bother to move from where it was. Was it letting her win? She would take it off course, but it seemed so much less the hunt she had been expecting.
Mila for her part merely saw a win as a win and looked to the trainer as he spoke, smirking as the pokemon did so and she crossed her arms over her chest as she walked through the mist. This failed within seconds and she began to bat it away with over dramatic swipes and hand waving before pausing in front of the male, Hatti already beside her hooves as she began to groom herself, only scowling slightly. | 100/160 - Level stats 20% hp heal |

The honedge, though weary and unable to battle further, dragged itself up. It wobbled through the air back to the side of its trainer who gave it a stern look but said nothing further on the matter. This was clearly a known pattern of behavior. “Oh, my! You just marched right through the mist, didn’t you?” Archibald noted, a little surprised to see Milarnie having made her way closer while he was still waiting for things to clear up. Perhaps it was his worsening eyesight due to age, but he had missed some of her swiping. Either that or he was distracted by his overly enthusiastic steel type… At any rate, he had a bargain to uphold. “I am a man of my word. I’ve seen two pokemon that might make worthier challengers than myself.” The man adjusted his monocle before gesturing closer to the path. “One was a beastie that kept above where trainers generally travel. It seemed discerning, though a touch eager… The other…” The man frowned sternly. “The other… I was all too glad it did not notice me. It’s deeper in the jungle…”He shook his head. “That’s all my advice for what may be good for gaining experience for an evolution.”Suggestions...?(Showdown sprites)ARCHIBALD with HONEDGE #526345 & #2695ec
Will Milarnie seek... ... the pokemon by the path? ... the pokemon deeper in? ... something else?

Mila chuckled as the trainer spoke, nodding to herself more than him as he replied. "While the way Hatti fights is very different to how i like to fight, shes all about being hidden and unseen attacks whereas i like the show and the glamour, i admit it works well for her. As such, im used to the mist, beyond being a little cold and making sure it doesnt get in my hair, its useful" she admitted, smiling waiting for him to fill in his side of their bet.
As he did, she turned her head to look to her pokemon and knew in a moment that the look of the female was telling her to look for the problem which was better to hide from, not the other. Sighing, mila forced a smile as she turned back to the man, holding out a hand then then flexing its fingers. "I'll still give you something, a signature, though beyond that the only other thing...." she said before she paused, smirked, and then pressed one hand in to her tail and while it took a few seconds, a small blue glowstick with a bright pink star on the end soon revealed itself from the mass and she turned to offer this to the other trainer too with her other hand.. | 100/160 - Level stats 20% hp heal |

The weary honedge chuckled. “I like your style a lot more…” Direct with a showman’s (er, showwoman’s) touch! A gijinka after the steel type’s own manner! Archibald had already been reaching into his jacket for the notebook he always kept, ready to present Milarnie with the pen and pad to accept the signature. The sight of the glowstick, however, made the man gasp. He’d seen his young lady swoon over those! And, get into very intense bidding wars online over them, but that was neither here nor there! “Your generosity knows no bounds!” he praised. “This is simply too much… My, what wonderful things I will have to bring back to the manor!”Right, back to the manor. The honege let out a little sigh. If/When Milarnie gave over the autographed paper, they’d be heading back, wouldn’t they? What a shame! Maybe the honedge would hear in an interview what exactly had occurred with that scary thing deeper in the jungle. Or, what the deal was with the thing creeping over the path. It looked enviously at Hatti. “Lucky cat…”Preparing to depart.(Showdown sprites)ARCHIBALD with HONEDGE #526345 & #2695ec

Mila smiled a smug smile as she watched the mans expression, though her shoulder did roll and she stood a little taller for the comment from the steel type. Even in defeat this one had class, she would have to see if she could happen over them on her way back again and maybe ask for aid in carrying her items or something. They were good company.
The man began to hold out some pad and wasting no time, Mila took it from him and rolled the pen in her fingers before beginning to write. "Oh, I'll need a name too. Unless you are contest with "my darling" or "sweetiepie" or something like that, im well practised at some pet names" she commented before she glanced down at the steel types comment, noting Hatti was indeed beginning to pace away just a little and sniffing at the air in the direction she had been hinted. She was waiting, barely, but she was also excited clearly. | 100/160 - Level stats 20% hp heal |

Mercy! He was so used to referring to his young lady by her title that he forgot to even use her name. Though, he felt no shame in his manner. It spoke to his good character as her employee that he respected the nature of all of this at all times. “Daphne, miss. She would be thrilled to have something so personalized.”For her sniffing, Hatti would be rewarded with the faint odor of something cool and bitter. The further depths of the jungle did not yet reveal what lurked within them, but there was a pokemon to be found there. It was devoid of all hints of yolk or milk, marking it as far, far from its days of hatching. Archibald’s warning would likely be true. The darkness promised something fierce lurking within.
