Some Supply Gathering In The Dark.

Aaron traversed though the Entrance of Shadowhue Forest, a little tired from the small journey he had to endured. Silverdawn is probably wondering where he was, considering he was all alone. Thankfully, Aaron had made sure to let one of his Guildmates know to tell her about it and not to worry. Simply put, Aaron is in need of supply for the next time he and his partner travel. Sure, he could ask Silverdawn for some stuff like Oran berries, but honestly? They both would exhaust their supply real quick that way and they would be in deep trouble. The Forest supposed to be really dark around him at this point. Being blind however, isn't going to affect the little Deino in any shape or form. In fact, Aaron has gotten more used to navigating thanks to Silverdawn. The Echolocation thing is still rather hard for him, but he's at least trying.

Making his way though the forest, Aaron sighed a little. Was it a good idea to travel alone? Aaron and Silverdawn are a team now, so she have the right to be with him. Then again, Aaron is just getting supplies, so he should be back in no more then an hour or so. Still, he hoped that Silverdawn isn't too awfully mad with him. Funnily enough, he imagined her and how she's mad about him not going to Pecha Forest, the more safer Dungeon then around here. The reason he chooses here then Pecha Forest, is because Aaron have heard that one of those special scarf Silverdawn let him barrow is Around Shadowhue Forest. So, Aaron figured why not.

Like he keep telling himself, this isn't going to take no more then an hour.

Hidon reached up to his shoulder joint with his left hand and grabbed hold. He spun his right around in its spot, swinging it around him like a wheel. He was warming himself up, ready for his second attempt at training here in the dark forest. It had been some time since he had last been in here...and he had met some rather interesting challenges. And this time would be no different, he was sure. What was handy for Hidon was his tail flame. The light that his tail gave him made this the ideal spot for training himself. After all, his tail was like a beacon to any Pokémon that was close enough to see the light in the dim forest. This would undoubtedly attract any wild or feral Pokémon in the area, making for great training. And that WAS the reason he was here in the first place...to get stronger so that when he met his future teammate, he would be ready to impress them enough to get them to join him.

The Charmander stepped through the trees, making sure that he kept his tail flame relatively close to his body. His blue eyes scanned the surroundings, looking for any sign of movement or anything of interest at all. After all, just because he was out here to train himself did not mean that he couldn't hunt for extra equipment while he was at it. So anything that caught his attention would certainly find their way into his possession. But for now, nothing seemed to be nearby, so he just needed to keep moving. But if he ever found a Pokémon he could challenge, then that would undoubtedly make this entire trip worthwhile.

Eventually, however, Hidon stopped. He heard something in the otherwise quiet forest. Footsteps stomping their way carefully through the forest. Whoever owned them was actually moving in his direction, if his hearing was accurate. He narrowed his eyes, squinting into the darkness that surrounded him...but he could not make out anything. Whoever it was, they were either hidden from sight or blended into the darkness well. His eyes had long-since adjusted to the dim lighting, so it probably was not some bright-colored Pokémon if the latter were the case. The Charmander smirked, though. He knew one way to get whoever's attention it was and see if he was accurate. Being as subtle as he was, he brought his claws upward, put them to his mouth...

"HEY!" he shouted into the trees, using his hands in an attempt to amplify his voice slightly. "Whoever's out there, come on out! I want to challenge you to a battle!"

Aaron took his time going though the forest, making sure he doesn't trip on any of the roots or something. This place was a little quite, perhaps too quite. Not letting go of his guard, Aaron crept softly, panting quietly. If he were to fight any Ferals or outlaws now, it would be best to get the  preemptive on them and knock them out quick. Ok... Echolocation... I make a click and... Click!... Aaron sighed. What is he not getting? Isn't he supposed to see the waves of sound as he did this? so why can't he see them? Practice does make perfect Aaron supposed, But he really rather learn it now then be stumped figuring it out.

"HEY!  "Whoever's out there, come on out! I want to challenge you to a battle

Great, he was discovered. Well honestly though, that isn't so bad, considering Aaron want to get stronger. With a smirk, he followed the mysterious voice. As he did so, Aaron could smell... smoke. That must of meant that voice was a fire type. A Charmander maybe? Nevertheless he'll go ask that pokemon himself. Aaron slowly got closer and closer to the voice that called him out. until he felt some warmth coming in front of him. Accidentally, Aaron bumped into the figure who must of been the voice that called him out and fell to his rear. Scrambling to get up, Aaron responded back.

"So your the one who called me huh? I was doing something else, but I can kill some time and fight you." Aaron went to his fighting stance, Waiting for his opponent to fight back.

Hidon crossed his arms, listening in to his surroundings for a moment to see if there would be any kind of reply. However, nothing came and he let out a small sigh. Had they just ignored him completely? Or maybe they were trying to get the drop on him instead? Approach silently and then attack while he wasn't looking? Well, he would just have to show this guy a thing or two about trying to fight dirty if that turned out to be the case. He smirked again and smacked a fist into his opposite palm. He was ready to battle...and he started going through what he could do in his head. He would start the fight out slow, maybe draw him out a bit with his Scratch and Growls. And then, when he could catch his foe completely off-guard, slam him with his most powerful attack! Yeah, that seemed like it could work. And it'd probably be the most fun way to do things while he was at it.

While the Charmander's mind was busy planning out his battle strategy, though, the Pokémon that he had called out to had actually emerged from the shrubbery around them. However...his back had been turned to him. And he's been too busy planning things out in his head, and determining his victory that he failed to hear the other Pokémon's approach. And soon enough, he felt something bump into his back. "Ah!" he exclaimed, stumbling forward a couple of steps. He then started to turn around to look behind him. Before him, a Deino was on his tail, quickly scrambling to get back up again. "Geez, can't you watch where you're going?" Hidon grumbled, rolling his eyes. However, he quickly changed his tune when the Deino responded to him and shifted positions.

"...Never mind that," he said. "I'm glad you decided to show yourself. I'll say it now. Sorry that I'm going to have to kick your tail all over this forest." He then crouched down himself, readying for the battle ahead. His foe was more than half a foot taller than him...but he didn't care. Without hesitation, he lunged forward through the air. "Take this!" he shouted, slashing his claws at the Deino's chest, using his Scratch attack.

With little time to react, Aaron Simply took the hit as the Fire type scratched his chest. However, Aaron is only slightly fazed by this attack. Is this the fire type's plan? to simply scratch his chest? Admittedly it did hurt, but it not really enough to take Aaron down.He's must be weak that was his plan all along. Though he knows that he shouldn't underestimate his opponent, but a single Dragon rage Attack could easily finish off the fire type if Aaron were to use the move. Then again, maybe all of Aaron's move could end up finishing him off in one hit. With a sigh Aaron spoke back. "I have to admit, that kinda hurt, But honestly I was hoping for some sort of challenge. Don't you got any stronger moves you can use against me?"

It might of sound like he was taunting him, but in reality, he was disappointed. "Eh it doesn't matter. I'm guessing you want me to attack back right?" Aaron took a deep breath and fired a small ball of draconic energy his opponent. Unless the fire type have some sort of move to help beat Aaron, this was a matter of hitting his opponent.

Hidon smirked as his claws raked against his opponent's body. He got him good! However, it was only a moment later that he realized something. His opponent had barely even been fazed by his move. His eyes widened at this realization. He knew that Scratch was not the most powerful move in his arsenal, but to still have it deal almost no apparent damage? This guy was one tough Pokémon. But what really got him was what the Deino said next. His widened eyes narrowed again and his lips curled into a scowl. Was this guy making fun of him? He clenched his fists and readied himself for a follow-up attack, but he had to stop himself. His foe had formed some kind of energy in his mouth. "Ack!" Hidon exclaimed, jumping backward to give himself more room. Once the Dragon Rage had been unleashed, the Charmander dove to the side, narrowly avoiding the blast. He tucked and rolled, ending up landing back on his feet again.

"Grr...! You calling me weak!?" he demanded at the Deino. "You want a challenge!? You want a stronger move!? Fine then, I'll give you just what you wanted. I was going to save it for later, but now you've ticked me off!" He clenched his fists and crouched down as a blue aura began to form around him. He waited for a moment, gathering the energy he would need. After a couple seconds of preparation, he rushed forward, dashing toward the Deino as quickly as he could. As he ran, the blue aura changed shape, taking on a somewhat draconic appearance. It was a somewhat slow attack in his hands, so it would be slightly difficult to hit with, but it would undoubtedly do a lot of damage if it connected.

So, he rushed forward, the draconic aura starting to focus around his arm. He then brought his fist forward, trying to slam a powerful punch backed with the power of the draconic aura into the side of the Deino's face. He attempted to use this Dragon Rush to smash his enemy into the dirt at his feet. That would show him what it means to call him weak!

Aaron chuckled a little at the Fire type. "Alright then sho-" Aaron could sense the Power that is growing from the fire type. A very familiar energy he felt before. Aaron gasp in realization and tossed himself to the right, barely dodging from his opponents attack. However, he did received the blow did chipped at the side of his body and fell to the ground. If he haven't dodge that draconic attack Aaron was weak too, that fight would ended prematurely. He would need to be more careful around him next time. Aaron, however laughed it off as he got up from his feet, his side burned with pain as he did so. "Now THAT is what I'm talking about. Why were you holding back that attack? You do realize that I was weak to that right? Aaron slowly calmed down from his laughing fit and had a serious face. "I'm not saying that your weak, but even if you are? a calm mind, and a good tactic would work out nicely. Anyway, I hope your ready for my next attack!"

Aaron zigzag his way toward the fire type, using his scent as a guide to help find him. When the scent was close, Aaron bared his electric teeth and chomped on his opponent with his thunder fang attack.

Hidon's punch was thrown down, and the aura surrounding his attack managed to just barely strike the Deino's body...but it wasn't a direct hit like he had been hoping, and his fist smashed hard into the ground where the Deino had been previously standing. The grass crumpled underneath the power of his attack, but the ground was otherwise unharmed. "Tch," he muttered, slightly annoyed that his opponent had managed to weasel his way out of his punch. He lifted his fist off of the ground and turned to look at Aaron again. He smirked slightly as he watched the Deino on the ground, crossing his arms again. But his cocky attitude did not last long. Soon, the Dragon-type Pokémon was rising back to his feet yet again and...laughing?

At that point, he couldn't help but grin. Apparently, this Pokémon was enjoying the power he had just demonstrated. This fight was definitely going to get more interesting from here. "Heh. I held back on my Dragon Rush, 'cause I didn't want to finish you off in one go," he replied, raising his fist again. "When I fight, I enjoy the challenge. I don't like stomping my opponents in one hit. I like drawing things out and push both of us to our limits. It's a heck of a lot more fun that way." he then shook his head, disregarding the Deino's next words. "Yeah, maybe that works for some people. But as for me...a good offense is just as good as anything else! Now bring it on!"

Little did he realize, however, that he might have bitten off more than he could chew. As a moment later, the Deino was zigzagging around the trees, making his way forward. If he knew his Ember attack, he probably would have used it right here and now. But since he didn't, he had no choice but to brace himself. He needed to move at just the right time. That way, he would leave his enemy open to a Scratch counterattack.

At the last moment, the Deino had reared up its jaw...but Hidon waited too long to move. He had underestimated his opponent's speed, and the jaws clamped shut around his body. "GAH!" he growled in pain, getting forced down onto his knees at the Deino's feet. "D-dang it...let go of me!" He clenched one of his claws and threw it forward, trying to slam a punch into the side of the Deino's head in a desperate attempt to get him to release his Bite. It was no move in particular, but a simple regular attack.

Aaron continues to bite down on the fire type, planning to not let go. His opponent futile effort to punch him off him proved to be no use. His voice was muffed, considering he had his opponent body in his mouth, But he pretty much said. "Come on! Don't just punch me, Do something!" He guess it time to simply finish this. Aaron let go of the Fiery lizard, bared an his teeth again, only this time you could see some sparks and hear some snaps. With one last attack Aaron closed his mouth on his opponent again... Only to stop a few inches in front of him. The Fire type had enough punishment. Aaron moved his mouth away and simply smiled toward his Opponent.

"Good fight!" Aaron said happily. He may be blind but He assumed his opponent was confused about him not finishing the fire type off. "You had enough. I'm not going to knock you out all because you wanted a battle. You tested your skills, and that all. Aaron stretched his limbs painfully. A good night rest should heal it. "I'm glad to be your Opponent for this fight. Maybe we could fight again next time?" Aaron called out, lifting his paw towards the fire type. "The name's Aaron."

The member 'Gamerscape' has done the following action : Dices Roll

'Shadowhue Forest' :

Hidon could feel the Deino's teeth sink in harder onto his body, rather than letting up on him like he had hoped. His punch had been mostly ineffectual and he growled, struggling as hard as he could to pull away. He could just barely make out what the Dragon-type Pokémon had to say, and that only made him scowl again and renew his attempts to pull away. Eventually, his foe willingly released his grip and he stumbled back, taken by surprise by the sudden absence of resistance. He gripped the part of his body where Aaron had bitten into him and prepared for whatever was to come next. He hesitated, though, unable to react quickly enough. The Deino rushed at him, fangs now sparking with electric energy. He flinched, bracing himself to take this second attack as well...only to realize it hadn't come.

He opened his eyes again to see the Deino smiling at him and announcing how good of a fight that had been. Wait...it was over? What was this? He listened to the Dragon-type talk and introduce himself...but he didn't care about his name right now. He shook his head. "No way," he muttered. "I-I'm not beaten yet, so don't go taking it easy on me and just letting me go. I haven't surrendered, so this fight is still on. I was just getting warmed up is all!" He sounded slightly bitter. Clearly, he did not like his opponent letting him off so easy. "You better not be making fun of me by taking it easy on me."

Aaron sighed at the Fire type's stubbornness. Clearly this pokemon is angry over the result of the battle. "Look, it best that you accept what happened and move on. Pushing yourself too hard is gonna get you in a tight spot, trust me." Aaron remembers himself pushing too hard to protect someone dear to him. He was so determined to protect his brother that he went into a dangerous dungeon all by himself. If it wasn't for his parents, he wouldn't be able to stand where he was today. Hopefully the fire type would learn that lesson the easy way rather then the hard way and suffer for it.

Aaron nodded his head and walk past the Fire type. "I had fun with you though. Maybe next time we could have a rematch." Aaron said as he kept moving. Luckily for him, Aaron caught whiff of a berry. Something good came out of that fight. Aaron simply took it and immediately ate it. It wasn't that special scarf he sought to find, but it was something to hold on too.

(Energy: 3 - 1 + 15 = 17.)

Hidon listened to what Aaron had to say for a moment, but shook his head again. Accept what had happened? That was easy for the Deino to say! After all, if things were left the way they were, it would mean that he had been the one to win in the end. And that was not something he was willing to just let go. He growled slightly and watched as Aaron moved to walk right past him. He hesitated, though, unsure of what he should do to stop him. He could tell that the Deino enjoyed fighting as much as he did and he didn't want to just attack him again. He clenched his fists, soon making up his mind.

"Sorry," the Charmander said at last. "I'm not ready to end this fight yet." He turned to look at Aaron again, raising his fists. "I came here for training so I could get stronger. You just walk away and I get nothing out of this. I don't start fights I'm afraid to finish. If you're going to beat me, I want you to take me down and render me helpless. I refuse to accept a defeat unless you can prove that you really beat me!"

Again with the stubbornness this isn't amusing anymore, it just pure agitation. Aaron sighed again, sounding a bit frustrated at this point. "You may want this, but I don't. Just stopped please, really think about this. I know how you feel, You want to be strong right? so you can take on everything? I get it, I really do! But did you ever think for a moment that pushing yourself to the point of death is gonna get you anywhere?" Aaron have his head turn now, his face's really serious. "I been though that road before and believe me, You don't want to experience what I experienced." It wasn't too serious that event, but it did leave some "Memorable" parts in his life.

"Please, I'm asking you nicely. Just let the whole thing go, it'll do nothing but hinder you in the end if you don't." After saying his piece, Aaron moved forward, hoping Aaron's advice would knock some sense into the Fire type.

"Tch," Hidon growled at the Deino, who still refused to finish this battle with him. Why did he insist on just walking away? He had managed to land just one hit, and he was already declaring his victory? Who did this guy think he was? "I'm not pushing anything!" he growled at him. "All I want is for you to finish a fight you start, and stop running away like a coward!" He stepped toward the Dragon-type Pokémon once again, not wanting to let him get away. He then hesitated, though, when he saw the look on the Deino's face. What...was this about? Was there something more going on with him right now?

After a few moments of silence, he let out a small sigh. Still, though, he decided to follow the Deino. Regardless of everything, he still did not want to accept a loss he did not feel was deserved. "Look," he said at last, though a bit calmer than he was before. "I'm just saying. You hit me with one attack. How can you call the fight over with just that? That's hardly a battle. All I want is for you to at least do more then get one darn lucky shot and prove that you can claim that victory of yours. It's not like I'm fighting against some giant Pokémon because I refuse to lose. I just refuse to acknowledge that as a battle until you finish it."
