The Sylveon in particular had Azula's eye. It looked strong and attractive enough though perhaps a bit too feminine for her own tastes. It reminded her achingly of someone in her past life she would prefer to forget.

For now she raises an eyebrow questioningly at Diana's response.

"This isn't a yes or no question really. It's more a matter of how much you're willing to lose. But if you're going to be difficult I'm more then happy to do things the fun way."

Popping open her own Pokeball to summon an impressive looking Hakamo-o which snarled fiercely.

Diana was guessing this chick was probably a Rocket. A new one, since she was more interested in some petty thievery than attacking Diana for desertion. Well, at least then Diana didn't have to worry that she'd been found in hiding.

She sighs, her own posture relaxed, almost bored. "I mean, are you sure you want to do that?"

The Sylveon twitches its ears and tilts it head at the dragon Pokemon.

[makeadragonwannaretire]

Azula's gaze falls to the pink, sweet looking bunny dog thing and looks unimpressed.

"If we're honest? No. I'd rather you just give me the pokemon and save us both the time and energy of a fight. Sure it's more fun crushing my opponents beneath my feet, but I can get more done in a day if you just accept your misfortune and move along."

Clearly Azula hadn't encountered a Sylveon before or she'd know what a terrible idea it was.

She snapped her fingers to send her dragon roaring into action, rushing forward and leaping into the air. A graceful spin led into his first and favorite attack, Dragon Tail!

[keep_surviving]

"Yeah, I think someone may have been drinking too much of their own cool aid."

Diana still tensed and took some steps back, not wanting to be caught up in a fight. Isla bristled at the discomfort of her trainer and opened her mouth, unleashing a Disarming Voice while the dragon was in mid air to send it flying back from where it came.

A simple attack to be sure, but still Fairy type and beefed up by Isla's insane level.

[makeadragonwannaretire]

"Never even heard of it." She shot back in what was clearly the most soul shattering dismissals. No doubt Diana would be reeling from...what? No? She's fine? Oh well either way Azula's not waiting to see how things go between her loyal minion and Diana's pink pet. She's rushing Diana herself clearly intent on attacking the trainer physically. Diana maybe has a couple seconds to get out of the way or something?

Meanwhile poor Minion. Their glowing tail snuffed out by the attack as it went tumbling head over heel through the air to crash on the ground.

[keep_surviving]

Diana can't stop herself tensing in anticipation, worry clear in her eyes but before she flinches Isla's already moved in front of her.

The Sylveon draws itself up to its full height, tendrils now lashing fiercely as she opens her mouth again. A loud Hyper Voice is sent screeching out, attacking Azula's ears.

[makeadragonwannaretire]

Azula's swing would have landed true if not for those shockingly powerful Tendrils deflecting her kick and sending her spinning around in the wrong direction. A graceful recovery would have been possible if not for that Hyper Voice which sent the Princess to her knees clutching at her ears screaming in anger and pain.

Minion tried to get back in the fight huffing with anger and embarrassment. Surely if it just threw itself with all it's anger at the pretty fairy type it might be able to land an uppercut right?

It was unfortunate perhaps that Azula's training was lost on Minion the more he fed into his own anger.

[keep_surviving]

With Hyper Voice ended, Isla remains stood defensively in front of Diana, baring her small fangs and growling, eyes darting back and forth between Azula and Minion.

Seeing Minion prepare itself, Isla shifts a little to face him properly and Diana attempts to stand somewhat straighter and actually do some instructing. Though she can't help worrying looking at Azula since the girl had literally tried to jump at her.

This time, before anyone else can react there's a flash of light originating from Diana's bag and suddenly there stands the hulking form of a Luxray.

It roars loudly and fixes its angry red and golden eyes on Azula, sparking flying from its raised, black fur.

"Caine." Diana says, relieved. Now Isla can stay focus on the Pokemon while Caine defended her.

[makeadragonwannaretire]

As the familiar scent of burning ozone hits her noise Azula feels the hairs on the back of her neck rise.

Slowly, and feeling her stomach knot she raises her eyes from the ground to find herself starring down some kind of lightning spirit made flesh and fur.

It was around this point Azula had to accept that she may have bitten off more then she could chew with this girl.

"How could a cowardly girl like you have something so...

so...

Magnificent!"

And she was being honest, Caine was by far the most impressive and attractive pokemon she'd seen yet. It appealed to her longing to have her own powers back.

She would either find a way to steal this one, or catch one of her own and make it ten times as strong!

[keep_surviving]

Caine continues to growl and spark threateningly, though he is guilty of looking smug and swishing his tail in pleasure at that 'magnificent' comment.

Diana rolls her eyes. "Caine, is now really the time?"

He huffs and Isla presses herself to Diana's legs, still eyeing up Minion.

Diana sighs and pets the top of her Sylveon's head, looking at Azula. "Are we done now?"

[makeadragonwannaretire]

"I suppose we are. You proved a surprisingly effective test for my minion who...predictably has failed to live up to my expectations."

She was trying to play it off as if she had already determined she would lose and for the most part her delivery was flawless, but you can't bullshit someone who's on your level in that department.

Unfortunately her pokemon was not on her level at all and pouted hanging it's head in defeat. Once again it had tried and failed to impress the princess. With narrow eyes it glared at Caine in jealousy.

"Consider yourself lucky, unless you're somehow responsible for how strong these creatures are. If that's the case you should be proud as well."

[keep_surviving]

"Oh yeah. I'm totally sure this his how you expected things to go." Diana's voice could not be more sarcastic as she folds her arms and rolls her eyes.

"For someone so battle thirsty you could at least look up basic stuff, you know? At least I had an excuse of not giving a shit when I started." A smirk. "You attacked my Fairy type with a Dragon type. And Isla's adorable, I know, but she's also got at least 80 levels of your guy."

Caine shakes his mane proudly while Diana huffs a little. "I mean, they're my Pokemon. I did a little work. Otherwise we wouldn't have won those Gym Battles."
