the shulian dream [nako/battle]

[Genesis Fox]

Summer was around the corner and this year, the breeder had set the goal on herself to take on the first gym in the Shula region. Yes, it may be the same goal as last year. But, this time… She’s going to do it. She refused to let this go onto another year. If this keeps getting pushed back, the want to be successful breeder and trainer will never take on the first gym and always be at the same level as a trainer. And after her encounter with the moon legendary and creepy green pokemon, Genesis was really doubting herself.

With this in mind and determination on her side, Genesis had contacted a recurring man in her life in hopes his experience and knowledge would give her an edge she so desperately needed. Also, maybe a bit of reassurance that she’s not as worthless as that midnight encounter made her think she was. Okay. Well. She asked him if he could help her train some pokemon. And like the dependable and kind man the breeder has learned through her many encounters with the man, he agreed in a heart beat.

A wide smile spread across her deep red glossy lips, a hand rose to give the familiar face her signature finger wiggling wave. “Hey Akira,” she called out, strolling through the open field of Atlas and up to the dark haired man, “Thanks for doing this for me. I really appreciate it.” By her side, the familiar rock type canine proudly trotted. Her head and tail high, her light blue orbs fell upon the male human. Bushy tail wagged, strolling right up to Akira and sitting before waiting for her pat on the end in greetings.

And it hadn't only been Genesis that that were certainly keen on achieving certain goals for reasons much like the breeder woman herself and after some of the more recent interactions that the coordinator man had been through with other's and taking some advice in regards to getting himself prepared for his own next gum challange in which he had been putting off for so long. Of course it had still been a litle tough with getting himself into the right sort of mindset for such things and with spring having come round and with it the yearly illness that plagued him this had also caused him to be a little more inclined to not drag himself out of the house like he typically would.

Nedless to say when he had received a call from an all to familliar face in the form of Genesis who had in turned contacted him in the hopes of seeking his 'help' in training some of her own pokemon, this in itself had been something of a surprise but at the same time it were certainly a welcome occurance also for it would given the man reason to head out. And as it had come to turn out it were not to be all that far to go - merely into the neighbouring Atlas Field that had become the agreed upon place that they would meet up, now why wouldn't he agree to help the woman out? More so given the fact that it would be so nice to be able to meet up with the woman once more.

Thankfully the trek out here had not been all too long before the raven haired woman and the Rockruff by her side would have come into sight before a genuine smile would form upon his slightly pale features before he would come to raise his hand a little in order to return the waveof greeting before he would soon after offer his own verbal greeting. "Hello there Genesis, always lovely to see you again. And you are always welcome - don't worry about it, your doing me as much a favour also." Akira would come to find himself responding in turn and with a hint of awkward embarressment forming upon his features in turn.

Upon spotting Kirala so boldly stride towards him and seat herself right in his path would certianly be more than enough to cause Akira to smile and chuckle softly for a few moments as he willingly knelt down to extend a hand - or both depending upon how much of a fuss Kirala wanted - and begin stroking her easily and willingly. "And always wonderful to see you Kirala . . . . . You've gotten bigger since I last saw you?"

The sight of the familiar face known to her as Akira was a welcomed one to see. It brought a genuine smile to her deep red glossy lips. Even her own rockruff seemed to be happy to see the man as she sat before him waiting for her pets. And pet, he did. Bushy tail wagged back and forth as the dark haired human reached down to pet her, pushing into his affection and even prompting him to use both hands in order to satisfy her desire for the attention. At the mention of her being bigger, Kirala took a sudden step back and let out a series of playful growly barks.

“She has grown indeed,” the woman softly chuckled in response. The memories of when she first came to Shula flashed before her eyes, said rockruff was the first pokemon she not only hatched but also ‘caught’ here too. Kirala has been through so much, even starting her own family and had three litters so far. The breeder had this hunch she was close to evolution too, though how close was still a mystery to them both. For now though, they both needed to focus on what challenges that lay before them. And that, was the first gym.

Her green gaze on Akira, the woman spoke. “How have you been Akira? I know it hasn’t been too long since the last time we ran into each other.” This was true indeed. In fact, if it wasn’t for Akira Genesis might have lost her poochynea forever in that large zoo. She had both Akira and Tae to thank for that day. Nymeria has been different since that day, though still goes of venturing by herself which drove Genesis crazy. She always returned though. That was a plus. “Has anything interesting happened sense the last time we meet?”

And it wouldnot just be Genesis that would be feeling such things, for Akira would have the same sentiment for having seen the other woman and her canine companion - it was always a genuinely pleasent experiance to interact witht he raven haired woman whenever the opportunity arose. The same could easily be said about Kirala also, a soft chuckle would come to easily escape the man when the Rockruff girl so eagerly and willing leaned into the attention that he would be offering her this combined with her actions of stepping bacl and the playful growl / barks that escaped the canine girl was enough to cause Akira to chuckle further in a kind yet polite manner.

"Next time I shall have to make sure to bring your mother and brother along, I can imagine they would love to see how you are doing." Akira would find himself musing in a surprisingly thoughtful manner as he tilted his head to one side, after all he knew full well that it had indeed along time since the pair he had mentioned had been able to interact with any of the other siblings / children in a while but the knowledge that they all were in good homes so that had been satisfying enough thus far. All the same however it never hurt to put the suggestion out there either.

It would be when Genesis would begin speaking next that Akira would be tugged from his thoughts and his dual coloured gaze would shift over to look upon the woman, she was right - it hadn't been all too long since they had last seen each other and even that time had been something of an eventful occasion given they had spent their time attempting to successfully locate the Poochyena that were Nymeria after she had run off into the depths of the zoo. Now that had indeed been an interesting and eventful day for so many reasons and for all of them involved and not just because of what had happened that day but there had certainly been some interesting things going on with Tae since then - but he couldn't let his mind to wander off on different things too much right?

"No it hasn't has it? . . . . . Eventful day huh? Hope things have settled a little since then though?" Well, at the very least Akira did hope thigns had settled a little since then, but such things did not happen overnight either did they?

"Admittedly no - nothing too interesting on my part has been happening other than the typical day to day things. Just been resting up a little more than usual recently; haven't been feeling too well so needed to rest rather than make things worse. How about you though? Anything interesting for you?" Akira would come to find himself responding in time.

It wasn’t until the dark haired man mentioned about getting the family back together did the breeder remember that Akira was, in a way, Kirala’s Uncle. How could she have forgotten? “That would be lovely,” Genesis replied sweetly, clearly interested in this meet up and secretly hoped it would be soon, “I know both Kirala and Kuvira don’t really like their father so much. But surely, them meeting their mother again shouldn’t be a bad thing. I could even bring a few grandpups too!” Though, family reunions haven’t always been good to the breeder. Maybe, this one will be different.

However when Akira mentioned he hasn’t been feeling quiet right lately, her smile faded. “Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that,” the raven haired woman began, brows scrunched together and facial features shifted into mild concern for the man’s health, “It’s good to hear that you are resting up though. I hope you start feeling normal again soon.” It was strange to think that Akira of all people was feeling a little under the weather, seeing as how he always appeared to be in high spirits for the most part every time they have met. It wasn’t that she thought he was invincible or anything, just never really thought about it. He didn’t look different to her. This just shows that one could never really know what the other has been feeling outright unless it’s clear as day.

A half smile returned, hoping to add a little bit of light in the man’s life after feeling so awful lately. “Other than expanding the pack, new pups and other pokemon, and chasing after getting the first badge, nothing new to report here.” Most of that was true. She adopted a house maid, Miku, and a shulian Sentret who has been aiding her in taking care of the newest batch of eggs. And speaking of eggs, Kirala and Evo’s latest litter finally hatched not that long ago. Memphis and Ashiya both happy and healthy. There was so many new pokemon in her roaster, but she didn’t want to bore Akira with that. There was that little incident in the woods a while ago, though Genesis was still unsure if it was real or a dream. Again, nothing to bother Akira over. So yeah, nothing to report. “I’m not going to lie, kind of nervous about this first gym challenge.”

After having made the suggestion regarding the possibility of a 'family reunion' of sorts between those pups that were within the posesion of Genesis and that of the mother and elder sibling that were within his own care to see and hear the response from the raven haired woman would certainly be more than enough to get Akira managing a small and genuine smile in turn. For of course it were not all that often that he had the chance to keep in touch with those who had come to adopt any young from the litters that happened to be bred from any combination of his pokemon so to be able to do such here and now - or at least at a latter date - would makethe man feel all the better. "Ahhh yes, I have noticed or at least heard that regarding some of the pups either preferring their mother, father or neither over the other. Quite an interesting turn of events." Akira would find himself musing in some manner of agreement, for it were true - it did seem strange how such had come to turn out.

Now when the mention would be made in regards to his health, Akira would note the odd silence that would momentarily form between himselfand Genesis along with the apparent look of concern that would come to form upon her face - now he would feel bad for causing any concern for her and as such would not be able to prevent the guilt from forming upon his own features. Though her voiced sentiments and general well wishes to him getting better soon were certainly well received - if the faint grateful smile were anything to go by - a subconcious hand lifted to scratch at the scale tinged cheek without fully realising what he were doing would get a faint yet distant smile forming upon his face before managing a small shrug. "So do I - but alas not something that will easily be got rid of. but the worst is over for another year." Akira wouldoffer in a faintlyreassuring manner before seeming to shrug it all off and dispel it all.

Akira would certainly jsut be grateful for the change in conversation and something different to focus upon as a hint of intrigue would pass over and fix upon his features in turn, of course it were always interesting to hear about how others were doing especially after having not seen them for a while so for that reason alone would have focused his full attention upon the woman before him - or at least enough that Kirala would be satisfied with the continued attention he were giving her - all the while offering little nods to show he were listening. "I'm not surprised that you are nervous - but you'll be alright. Sure Nix - the first gym leader - seems a little scary but she's a good person, just need to be prepared. But then that's what are here for today right?" Akira spoke in a kind and reassuring manner after a time.

Sometimes, it can be easy to forget that pokemon have their own thoughts and feeling about things like family. While some love and care for their relations, there are others out there that don’t or even hate them for whatever reason. The human species may be mostly dominate over the pokemon species, but it doesn’t mean that said creatures are a lesser being than them. And to Akira comment to his, the raven haired woman gave him nodded in agreement. It was certainly interesting indeed. The breeder could only hope that she never has to deal with domestic affairs within her own group.

It was also good to hear that whatever aliment that came over Akira has already started to be gone, that the worse was done and over with. Although Genesis don’t know what it was, she remembered that last time she was home sick with the flu and how awful she felt for like a week. Hopefully though, Akira condition will only improve over time. He certainly didn’t seem sick, but that wasn’t her businesses regardless. Again, the breeder simply gave him a polite smile and nod to his statement. Poor Akira.

Kirala was getting all the love and affection from her Uncle Akira while the two human spoke, back left leg began to kick when he would reach a spot she could scratch. Genesis on the other hand, let out a chuckle at her rockruff before her gaze lifted back to the dark haired man. “Yeah…” The woman paused briefly, remembering the last time she spoke to the gym leader was in the cave before Genesis had to leave, “Nix can be pretty intimidating. Not in a bad way, of course.” The woman was a gym leader and a head range, not to mention she seemed like a good leader type and strong willed. “But yeah, that’s why I’m here. I could use some help if you’re willing. Any advice would be nice too.” It was worth a shot. Surely, Akira had a hint or two to give.

And though it were indeed information that Akira had voluntarily offered forth there were a part of Akira that were certainly more than glad that he would not need to delve too deeply into depth as to what were wrong with him, for even a few years later there it were still somewhat raw as to what were the cause of such even if it were all on him ultimately. But that was to be pushed from his mind quickly enough as he would rather focus upon the present and what he had come here in order to meet up with Genesis for.

Now it would soon be Akira's turn to chuckle at the sight of Kirala's little leg literally kicking out when he had successfully located the sweet spot that would make the pup extra happier, this would equally be more than enough to make the tall man somewhat pleased as well before he would need to at least make his own efforts to focus his attention upon Genesis just as she would begin speaking once more. And admittedly he would be finding himself nodding in agreement to the fact that the ranger woman that was Nix could be intimidating in her own way, even if Akira would be aware that this were not how she always was like. "She certainly can be, but once you get to know her Nix is actually quite a nice person even if a little blunt occasionally. Though the main bit of advice I can give is tojust make sure you are fully prepared for as many possibilities as youcan be." Akira would find himself offering and speaking in turn.

Genesis took in every word Akira spoke regaurding Gym Leader Nix’s and what to expect, soaking in as much as she could with what little she was given from the dark haired man. And to that, the raven haired woman would politely smile and nod. “I’m sure she is. She seems like a good person to have on speed dial, if you know what I mean.” A friend that would always be there, no matter what. Someone you can count on and knows that whatever the task is, she will get it done. That’s the vibe the breeder was getting from Nix Night. But whether that was true or not, Genesis will have to get to know her more. Possibly during their battle maybe, perhaps?

“Thanks Akira,” the woman beamed, green orbs falling upon her rockuff as she wiggled and snuggled against his affection, “I’ll try my best to be prepared.” Speaking of being prepared, they should probably start their training session. “Kirala…. I’m sure Akira has plenty of other things to do today than pet you,” she began, letting a light chuckle out before continuing, “Why don’t we show Akira how strong you’ve become?”

To this, the rockruff let out an excited bark. She gave her Uncle Akira one last lick (if allowed) before darting away from her to stand in front of Genesis and face him. Bush tail wagged eagerly back and forth, her head high ready to show what she can do. Kirala has been training so much over the years. Although yes, she has had three litter so far. She wasn’t about to let that stop her from becoming stronger and proving she isn’t as worthless as her father says she is because she was born a female. “Ready.”

Genesis looked to Akira, giving him a nod. “We are ready when you are.”

Now while Akira would not find himself saying such, when Genesis would come to in turn make her own comment / response regarding the gym leader / ranger woman that was Nix Night the raven haired man would come to subconciously find himself smiling ever soslightly and nodding - almost seriously - in agreement. This were certainly one thing in which the man would not be able to deny for after having getting to know the ranger woman given the particular circumstances that had resulted in them both getting close there were certainly no denying that she were indeed one person that should the need arose and if he could think of no other to call she would be at the top of such a list. "Oh I certainly do know what you mean - she's a very reliable and capable woman who I certainly wouldn't want to mess with depending on the situation." Akira agreed softly.

From here would Akira's focus turn back to Genesis with a faint smile upon his features before managing a small and almost insignificant and dismissive shrug after a short time, when the other woman would direct her comments towards Kirala and the Rockruff female would lick at his face once more before dashing away to appropriately position herself would the dark haired man cast an almost affectionate look towards the pup as he would in turn slowly rise to his feet in preparation of his own. It would take the man a minute or two in order to consider his own options of the pokemon that he had brought with him before coming to finally settle upon a choice as he pulled a pokeball free from his pocket and eventually release the Growlithe male that was Yiplin.

"Alright Yiplin, you remember Genesis right? And Kirala? We are gona help them for some training - lets see how well she's been doing?" Akira would call out as the fiery canine would glance back towards the human male then towards the younger Rockruff female while managing a nod would he turn back to face the Rockruff female and would try to puff himself up a little to try 'scare' her before a loud howl would escape the Growlite male before issuing forth a small burst of flames towards Kirala.

There was something about canines, more specifically the growlithe line, that always had (and still does) holds a special spot in her heart. And even though she already had two growlithes of her own, Evo and Adeen, the sight of yet another growlithe before made her want to run over there and give it a big old hug. However, the breeder controlled herself. Instead, she smiled at the canine and gave a finger wiggling wave in greetings. He’s so CUTE!

Kirala on the other hand, held her ground on her side of the battlefield. Luckily, she was very familiar with the growlithe species. After all, her long time mate was one and she had birthed a few herself. But as the fire type canine took in what his trainer said and readied himself for battle, the female rockruff couldn’t help but feel kind of intimidated by this canine. She bared her teeth at the pup, trying to use it to hide her weariness of how strong he made himself look.

The fire type threw his head back in a howl, allowing himself to boost himself in preparation for the battle that has started. And before Kirala could have a chance to really ready herself, multiple balls of fire erupted from the other side targeted at him.

She tensed, leaping out of the way of the lava balls as they hit the ground and sizzled out. The rockruff casted a mean looking LEER at the other growlithe along with a growl, knowing very well that those little embers hurt more than one might think they do. And only after casting him that leer, did Kirala spring into retaliation.

The small rocks mixed within her neck fluff took on a white glow. And soon, a multicolored orbs began to form above her tail and grow in size. Seconds later, the orb turning into a solid rock and shattered into several pieces. With a simply thrust of her tail, the multiple shards of ROCKs where THROWn in the growlithes general direction hoping some of the hit her foe.

And while it would inded be more than true that for the most part Yiplin would be focused upon the upcoming battle at hand - or paw - the Growlithe male would have allowed his gaze and attention as a whole to lift up and focus upon the womanthat would be situated behind the Rocktuff female for a short time and as such would naturally take note of the woman's reactions. Well, needless to say Yiplin would manage a small bark and grin of sorts to be aimed towards the woman and with an eager wag of his tail, well - maybe another time he could get plenty of pets from her right?

It would naturally only be after pushing such thoughts aside would the slightly older Growlithe male focus upon the battle that would begin and observe the outcomes of the attacks that he would come to use, needless to say there would be a certain amount of frustration at observing the fact the the Rockruff female would have managed to evade the small flames that would be issued forth towards her. But such was life, it were not as if Yiplin could expect every single attack to hit it's target right?

As such this would be what would get the fiery male canine focusing back upon the battle even more so when the ground type would cast a less than pleasent look his way, of which Yiplin would try shake off to little effect moments before the thrown rocks would come into contact with the fiery canine and result in a growl of pain and discomfort as he would try to shake such off. From here would Yiplin cast something of a leered look towards the other canine before surrounding himself in flames and charging towards Kirala

The multiple shards of pointy rocks rushed towards the growlithe pup, the mean mugging leer she casted just before distracting him just enough to allow her rock type attack a successful hit upon her foe. The fire type foe let out a painful yip, fitting to his name. However, there was no signs of him giving up any time soon. He shook off her attack, almost quite literally before his intimidating gaze fell upon her and his counter attack was ready.

Her gaze was so focused on her foe, there was no way of her ‘dodging’ his intense staring leer. In fact, the canine almost flinches. The growlithe species was so… intense. And as she silently thought about this to herself and the memories of when her mate and her mate came flooding in her head, Kirala for a moment forgot she was to be paying attention and is battling. That was, until a flaming wheel of fire snapped her out of her daze just as the foe came crashing into her.

Pain riddled her body, the force of the blow sending her off her paws and landing a few paces back from where he initially hit her. Her body fell to the ground with a light thud, sliding just a little before someone to a stop. Her body ached, feeling the heat from the fire that engulfed her foe. Kirala wasn’t about to give up though, scrambling to get to her feet despite the screaming painful protest of her aching muscles. “Great recovery Kirala,” the woman called out, mostly a cheerleader than a trainer at this point, “Don’t give up.”

The encouragement from her trainer sparked her fire. Again, the female rockruff bared her teeth and casted him yet another dark looking LEER. She shook off the dirt that stuck to her pelt, only to leaping to a run towards the growlithe. Determination in her eyes, the rock type canine hoped to TACKLE her weight into her foe with all her might.

Well, it certainly seemed as if they both were doing well in their trading of blows with each other and as events were starting to show neither of them were in any way keen to give way to the other just yet - which as far as Yiplin were indeed concerned made things all the better for it would mean that this battle were indeed going to be a more than interesting one for them both rather than boring and potentially over too soon for them both. And the very fact that it would also to seem as if they were going to get a decent workout in the process were all the better as far as Yiplin were concerned, so long as he were able to continue focusing for as long as possible.

The fact that it would seem as if the Rockruff female would become a little distracted - for whatever reason - and cause his attack to hit, well just maybe this would be more than enough to teach her to be careful even if there were likely areason for such a thing. "Good job Yiplin, your doing good." Well; Genesis were not the only one who would temporarily become a cheerleader for their pokemon forthe duration of this battle and besides Akira didn't mind throwing some compliments around when due.

And now from here though the Growlithe male were keeping his gaze fixed on the Rockruff in preparation of moving himself from her path it would seem as if he were a little too slow in doing such as first the look that were sent his way then the charge towards him were a little too quick for him before the force of such would send the male staggering back a few steps before shaking himself off a little. From here would Yiplin take a deep breath of air before issuing forth a small burst of flames towards the female.

Growlithes weren’t the only one who could ‘intimidate’ their foe! … So to speak anyway. Kirala glared at her foe, doing her best to seem as scary as she could manage while casting a mean mugging leer. And by some stroke of luck, this tactic worked and effectively made the fiery pup hesitate just enough to allowed her to come crashing into him with all her might. Their bodies collided, of course Kirala bracing for the impact while the blow sent the growlithe off balance and stumbling back. Finally!

But as she the rockruff took a few strides back to leave some distance between them and swung around to face her foe, the growlithe had already recovered from her hit. Her eyes widened, seeing the canine suck in a big lung full of air. She knew what was next. There was no mistaking it. Quickly, the rockruff began to leap side to side. Slow at first, swiftly picking up speed. Soon, it was hard to tell which was the real rockruff and which were the after images. And just as the DOUBLE TEAM started, multiple balls of hot fire came arching in her direction. The canines moving out of the way, hitting some of the ‘copies’ to vanish them while the real one got away.

Without hesitation, the rockruff and few copies charged towards the growlithe once again. This time, leaving their foe guessing which one was the ‘real’ one and which one was the fakes. She bared her teeth, determined to crash into the growlithe with all her might once again with a solid TACKLE attack.
