Basic combat.

First topic message reminder :

Noel sat in a tree asleep, despite the fact this was a dungeon the Lucario didn't feel any danger, this was mostly due to her strength knowing she could deal with whatever was here. This allowed her to just sleep in a place like a dungeon without a care in the world, good thing was she never snored so she was well hidden in the trees. Noel had her black cloak on and the two scarves she wore around her legs, placed on her left arm was a ribbon, joy ribbon to be exact. Though just like with anywhere else she wore the long red scarf she always had around her neck.

After a short nap Noel woke up and stood on the tree branch, letting out a yawn she jumped down into the forest below landing with a soft thump and standing straight.

Energy 53 (58-5)

(Holy shit she has a lotta energy)

Noel was now gone from sight, using quick attack she had run while Aaron was distracted and went up a tree nearby, Noel stood there watching Aaron, she took note of what happened when he used Attract, Noel started to think off small defenses for a trick like that, seems like she'd need it if she ever hoped to keep her dignity and keep fighting, while Noel was standing in the tree right next to her a small Aipom had dropped down next to her, she looked at this Pokemon for a moment before it handed her a small swift seed, the Aipom then proceeded to go back up towards the top of the tree. Noel looked confused as she placed the seed in her bag, no use turning down a free gift.

Noel did take small notice of a Pineco staring at the battleground, while normally Noel would help she wanted to see how Aaron would deal with the small very explosive Pokemon inching closer to him, last time she was here a lot of them blew up just from a small touch, might be fun to watch again.

Noel then decided to grab a small stick that was next to her feet, her friend Azeral was collecting some sticks in order to build some sort of stick tower, Noel didn't understand but hey did she really need to?

"Uhhh... I can't fight like this..." She keep nuzzling him, treating him as her lover. It's distracting, distracting and awkward. He can't think at all, She was way to much for him to handle at her condition. He gotta knock her out and now. "Sorry, I have to fight others like you. I really hope you can forgive me." "But... I've brought you a gift my love, I'm holding it as we speak." She spat out her blast seed she was about to use on Aaron and put it in his bag. Aaron sighed. He don't want to hurt her, however, Noel is watching him, seeing if he good at fighting. "I'm Sorr-" "Deino Look out! Right behind you!" Aaron turn his head back and sniffed. A Pineco? Doesn't it know self destruct? That isn't good. How close was- The Zigzagoon suddenly shoved Aaron out of the way and charge towards the Pineco, She has to protect her lover.

While that was going on, Two more Zigzagoon swarm at Aaron. They however were shocked when Their third member suddenly went charging off to fight a Pineco. "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? COME BACK HERE! He's way to dangerous to fight!"

(1-6 = 5 + 1 = 6)

Noel stood there watching Aaron, she decided to intervene and give him a small tip. "Attack while the opponent is distracted." Noel shouted out refering to the fact that both of the Zigzagoon's who were trying to fight him also, they were worried about their ally so that gave Aaron the perfect opportunity to strike while they were wondering what was wrong with their ally, Noel also knew the Zigzagoon's didn't know she was here so her voice shouting at Aaron would prove to be another distraction.

Aaron shock his head. He couldn't believe that she shoved him to protect him. Its like fate is taunting him for using that move on her. He doesn't know if he could use something like that again, even in battle. It was like... "Attack while the opponent is distracted." That snapped Aaron's out of his moral thoughts. She was right, He gotta strike now! So what she protected him? She was under the effect of Attract! She would of been hostile and attack Aaron if he were to let her stay conscious. With a crack of his neck, Aaron charged at one of the two Zigzagoons. While Aaron was doing that, The normal types Looked around for the voice they just heard. Damn this is bad, first their partner is going to attack a dangerous Pokemon, now this? And what was up between the female normal type and that Deino? For a second there he thought she's attacking the Pineco for hi-

One of the Zigzagoon cried in pain as Aaron send electrical charges with his teeth. The other quickly realize what was going on and rushed in to push Pushed Aaron Off him. "You're the one who tricked her into doing that huh? I was about to take your stuff, but I'm gonna make sure you'll rule this day!" "Bring it on then! I expect you to do everything in your powers to beat me. I'll be doing the same." Aaron smirked. This is gonna be a fun battle.

Noel had slightly stopped paying attention and had pulled out a book to read, she was looking back at Aaron in order to check what he was doing and the status of how the fight was going but other then that she just had her head in the book she was reading, just a small book about the theories of Aura, best to just learn things as they come. As Noel sat there the Aipom that had given her the item was also reading along with her, Noel looked at the fight going on and saw Aaron seemed to be doing well, good for him.

Aaron Jumped backwards, Firing his Dragon Rage at one of the Zigzagoon. However, he quickly jumped out of the way before it hits anything. Aaron doesn't want to forget about the other one, but he needs to take out one of them. It'll make Aaron concentrate much easier. Aaron quickly shift to the attention on the one who he bit and fired another Dragon Rage at the Normal type. His plans is to separate them.

While that was happening, the female Zigzagoon Lept towards the Pineco, causing an explosion. The Male Zigzagoon Look over in horror. "ISA!" When the smoke cleared, you could see her standing, but just barely. "I did it... My love..." However, she soon succumbed to her wounds and collapse into unconscious. "DAMN IT! YOU"RE GONNA WISH YOU WERE DEAD AFTER I"M DONE WITH YOU!" The Zigzagoon was livid! How dare he charm his partner to the point of knocking her out!

Noel was honestly shocked that had happened, despite the fact the Pokemon attacked him first she was still surprised she had taken a explosion for Aaron, love was a strange thing she did not understand. Noel waited to see what was going to happen, and wondering if she should step in, for the Zigzagoons sake not her own.

________________________________________________________________________________

The Zigzagoon was honestly shocked, unlike his partner he retained a slightly more calm standing on the situation at hand. "We need to go, retreat." He told his friend wanting to take the fainted ally with him, he was sure this Pokemon didn't plan on pursing them if they tried to run for it, his idea was to take her and leave.

Aaron ceased his Dragon Rage attack the moment he heard that explosion. "No..." She really did it didn't she? She took the explosion for him. Guilt shot Aaron hard. He didn't know that love could go that far... When the The first Zigzagoon threatened him, Aaron flinched, prepared for the worse. "We need to go, retreat." Aaron, slowly eased up a bit hearing those words. Yeah, it would be best. For all he knows, She could be mortally wounded. "What? You're just gonna let this Dragon type go?!?! Don't you realize that he MADE OUR SISTER RISKED HER LIFE FOR HIM! How are you so calm about this?"

Aaron stepped back, not wanting to intervene if they plan to escape. There is no need to carry this further.

"I'm calm because i also don't want to see my damn brother end up the same way after fighting this Deino that's obviously stronger then us." He said after feeling that attack the Deino did against him, he knew they didn't have a chance at winning, plus he had that ranged attack, they had no ranged attack between the two of them that was worth anything. "Plus the time we stand around doing nothing she could be close to death, wouldn't the smarter option be to leave, or do you want her to die while we fight a useless battle?" He asked knowing he was right.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Noel was sitting on the sidelines with the Aipom on her shoulder, she had seen enough and decided to tell Aaron to knock it off, though she saw he didn't attack while they were talking and figured that he wasn't going to, seemed like a dick move to pull after blowing up their sister.

The Zigzagoon Growled, He didn't like it, letting the Deino go like that. However his brother is right. How good are they compared to him. "Fine... I'll get Isa." He cross path with Aaron, whispering. "This isn't over. I'll make sure you'll pay for what you did." "I'm sorry..." "Tch." The Normal type soon arrived to her sister, picking her up and carrying her to their calm brother.

Aaron dropped his head. Did Attract had that much power? To make someone die for him. Parts of him want to forget this move, Yet... Another wants to keep it, learn from it and prevent that from happening again. He would ask Noel about it. For now, let them leave.

Noel leaped down hitting the ground with a soft thumping noise, she waited a moment to show she wasn't going to pursue the two Zigzagoons, she never did like attacking when an opponent was down. Noel walked over to Aaron and looked at him. "So, what did you think about the move." Noel asked, she saw the move looked to be quite useful in combat, while it did manipulate the opponent Noel thought she'd address a certain situation if Aaron felt bad about using it.

"Its good, great even." Aaron shock his head, he couldn't get that female out of his head now. The fact that she tried to protect him even though she was manipulated, it was all too much for the Deino. "But, I don't know what to think about the effects. She... She risked her life to protect me, and she was manipulated too. I don't know if I should forget this move, or learn from it." Aaron kicked his feet, thinking about the what happened within the few minutes. "To be honest, I want to learn from it more. Maybe I could make sure that no one will risk their lives for me again. On the otherhand... I feel really awkward using this, no I feel bad using it. I'm toying with a girls emotion. I don't know what to do. Please Noel, I want to hear your opinion, What should I do?"

"What do you think would of happened had you not used that move, she would of attacked you and tried her hardest to either wound you greatly or kill you." Noel said knowing how dangerous some Pokemon could be, some just wanted your items, others wanted your life. "I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, it's just a means to an end, she attacked you so she should face the consequences." Noel told him thinking how bad this move would be in the hands of a criminal, Noel didn't really want to think about that for now. "C'mon lets just keep moving." Noel said as she turned to walk ahead.

Aaron sighed. She was right. If he didn't use the move, she could of killed him. She attacked him first, trying to prove something. So in a sense she deserved it... However her Punishment shouldn't be like that. "Right..." Aaron muttered. He walked along with Noel, thinking more about that one move that made tha Zigzagoon to fall in love with him. "I made my Decision." Aaron Said. "I want to learn more from this move, finding ways to use it to My advantage. Hopefully without getting a girl to Sacrifice herself for me." Aaron was sure of it. Despite what happened, he won't let it get into his head like that.
