I'll Show You - Bii

Lars had favourites.

It was true of liquor, it was true of pokemon types and it was true of people. It was not shocking to him that his pokemon on his team had also picked this up and so, when starlight took off demanding she wanted more training and a chance to working to evolve, the man should not have been shocked to find a series of his team getting ready to leave with him, and a series settling down.

Only, he really watched this time.

It annoyed him, that they thought they knew him so well even if they were correct. He was going to leave sid here, but him under the care of the dark types who had for some insane reason taken him in as a sort of son. He was going to take Clarence with him, training Beast and him against each other.

How dare they assume of him.

Throwing the entire team in to disarray, in the time it took the man to post online looking for a double battle for starlight and, randomly selected from pokemon sitting on his sofa, Dashie, fights broke out about being ignored, not wanting to go, and were firmly told to cram it or they'd be less happy.

So here he was, waiting on some person he'd barely taken the time to look at, Starlight beside one shoulder and that idiot puppy of his chasing his own tail beside the mans feet, all because lars disliked being called predictable.

This whole event had been arranged by Stuffing with Inkwell’s aid. Though Bii was gaining in literacy, the internet as a whole still confused and frightened her. Why were there moving images everywhere? What do you mean that wasn’t a direct video? The animated things delighted her, though some of them were also strange and upsetting. Aside from asking Stuffing to help her borrow a cute movie from the library’s streaming services, the gijinka had as little to do with the internet as possible.

So, naturally, she was confused when Stuffing said that Inkwell had approved of them meeting with someone they’d met through the internet using Ilargi’s trainer profile. The confusion turned to upset when Stuffing’s insistence that it was “nearby” turned into “it’s in the nearby mountains.”

All of this was to say that Bii arrived with her head swiveling around. Knowing that Ilargi’s trainer photo hadn’t been updated since before last year, she decided to cover-up with her hair framing her face and covering her ears as well as sporting the longest skirt she could manage. Where was the other person from the online service…?

Oh! Maybe that was him…?

Inkwell, meanwhile, found herself once again with two teammates she had trouble getting along with. Stuffing was more pleasant than usual given that they were about to do an activity they both enjoyed, but Buddleja had invited themselves to hitch a ride on the luxio’s back.

“Whoa, now!” the skitty warned, tapping her tail-tip against the electric type’s flank. “I think our dear Bii just spotted that which we seek!”

Inkwell glared over her shoulder. “Do I look like a ponyta to you?” Then, directed at their possible opponents: “No offense.”

“Perhaps one’s a—”

A growl cut that off.

Lars looked down to the puppy at his feet, a part of him very tempted to kick a foot out and see if the idiot who was so focused on his own tail would see it in time or he would be sent rolling across the ground when his paws fell over the block in his path. Just as one shoe lifted off the ground, beginning to move forwards, Starlight snorted beside him and tossed her head a few times.

Lifting his head up, lars noted the pair of pokemon out in front of the trainer before he noticed the trainer and while he could feel something in his head pulling at a memory telling him he knew this girl, that was vague enough that he might have passed her in the street, fought her one time or taken her for drinks and breakfast so he was not keen to press the thought.

"Double battle right? All agreed? Fun and friendly and training" he called over, moving his hands to gesture to the noble steed to his one side who lifted her head in greeting and then bowed it for a moment. Then he waved to the ball of brainless cells and fur by his foot who was still running, in fact he only stopped running when voices he didnt know hit his ears and then, short of words, he turned and began to yip in greeting. Again, and again, and again.

Looking at this man made Bii feel queasy. Rather than chasing that feeling, she kept her eyes on the ground. Whatever it was, she didn’t want to know anymore than she wanted to recall why exactly she knew the various medical snippets she recalled or any bad day she’d had since stepping foot under the sun. It didn’t matter. She could avoid it. She could run away from it all.

“Yes,” she bleated meekly, hoping her team would take over from here.

Inkwell and Stuffing did indeed, though Inkwell gave Buddleja a little nip to prompt the skitty to hop off her back. The dark type landed at Bii’s feet with a cackle of glee.

“Yeesh, what’s with that racket?!” Stuffing demanded, holding her ears down.

Inkwell’s maw wrinkled a little, but she decided to focus on the regal looking ponyta. “Hey there. I’m Inkwell and this is Stuffing. Let’s have a nice, clean battle, huh?”

Lars smirked as the girl spoke, or rather, seemed to breath out words and that was it. Looking down, he heard the pokemon and while he didnt know either species well enough to understand them, he had pokemon for that. Starlight glanced to the puppy pokemon, sighed softly, and then looked to the first of the new duo to reply. "Dashie is a child, well, he was but hes getting older and holding on to it hard. We suspect its something in his head, but, it makes him happy and doesnt cause us issue" she explained before the yipping just kept going, she snorted, and then sighed again.

"Mostly, it doesnt cause us issue, mostly" she added on before she looked to the second speaker, smiled, and bowed her head. The height of the horse pokemon over the others seemed odd even for lars, but as he backed up and began to give the group room to move and battle, he smiled at it. Dashie did move to chase his trainer, only a hoof dropping in front of him and then a head nodding to the other arrivals made him pause. He turned back to them in a whip of movement, grinned, and then tried to rush the rabbit pokemon with sparks growing around his muzzle. Starlight rolled her eyes, though she lifted her head and gave off a small growl before focusing her eyes on the rabbit too, a flare of pink from her horn suddenly making the air between the pair wobble and shake.

As Bii slunk away to give all the pokemon fighting space, Inkwell cocked her head. A troublesome teammate, huh? The luxio could relate to that. Though, the explanation only gave her one of their names. Interesting.

Oh well. It was finally time to battle! The she-cat Leered, meeting their opponent’s offered status moves with her own eagerness to get the fight going! Stuffing, meanwhile, leaped out of the way of the enemy electric type.

“Yuck! Nuh-uh, back o—AUGH!” The buneary clutched her head.

Between the fancy air flutters and her partner yelping like that, Inkwell had her suspicions secured: the pony was a psychic type. Shame she didn’t have any dark type moves! Instead, the electric type went after her peer. She pounced close to the dog-like pokemon as she could manage and then twisted on her forepaws to aim a powerful set of kicks at the other.

A sparkling, rainbow gleam overtook Stuffing’s wool briefly as she used Cosmic Power. Then, she rushed the ponyta. “Smartypants are squishy, right?!”

The luxio’s ear twitched toward where the buneary was using Pound. That was some video game logic, she was sure.

It started so well. Both attacks hit, their plan was working and the normal type seemed to be locking up from the nuzzle starlight was very used to and so very much expected before she noticed the pup turn to the other pokemon. "But dashie, so soft!" she found herself saying weakly, being slammed in the side for her effort as the boy was smacked twice by the blue pokemon.

Whining at the exchange, and taking the offered comment as a way to get away from the pokemon who hurt him, the male turned back to the rabbit and tried again to flick out his tail to her, swiping at the big nasty female for extra effort before he tried to nuzzle the smaller again. Starlight chuckled, growling once more and then trying again to hopefully hit and confuse, for the long term, the rabbit once more.

Direct hits! Inkwell crackled with charging electricity. It drowned out the noise the ponyta was making, though she caught a glimpse of what the other electric type was doing. The luxio clenched her teeth as she saw Stuffing’s ears twitch while her eyes remained focused on the puppy.

The buneary didn’t have the good sense Azelf saw fit to give a magikarp.

Oh well. She could (hopefully) manage one of their problems. Leaping over where Stuffing was getting Nuzzled by Dashie, the she-cat made a beeline for Starlight. The scent of an oran berry (Klutz had prevented Stuffing from doing anything except smashing the berry in her attempt to use it) floated on the air along with ozone as Inkwell sought to make impact against the fairy type with her Spark.

Stuffing, meanwhile, flailed furiously. “Get off me, ugh!!” She was all aglow, both with the static electricity crackling over her partially paralyzed form. The oran berry she’d consumed had given her enough wind to maybe keep trying for this…! But, that Confusion struck again!! She couldn’t even clutch her own head this time!

Bii, on the sidelines, raised a hand. “Um, e-excuse me…” There was no way that yamper could hear her from the sidelines, nevermind understand her stuttering. “I need to return… If you’d move, I could… I have her pokeball a-and she fainted, so, um…”

Buddleja declined to intervene, watching to see if Bii would get the nerve up to just return Stuffing regardless of where Dashie was.
