A twelve year old brat asking her why? Olesya stifled her laughter as she sat there, propped up on her hands. Did she need to tell him anything? A brat like this? Olesya shook her head. "You wouldn't understand, kid, you don't understand what you have there," she said and she gestured toward Iron Hide.
As for Purrloin, it was a pretty simple tactic. Iron Hide, who had skidded back, was now charging in. Up and over, she'd pounce down at his head, aiming to send him, momentum, weight and force all to the ground with another Foul Play, utilizing his own power against him for the second or so time.

"really? what i have there is my Friend and Pokemon partner, what else could he be?" he asked, it was a simple question enough, at least he thought it to be. a this point in the fight Tk was close enough to be attacked by Olesya, but if such a perdiacament where to arise Olesya would have to be pretty confident that Tk's reaction time wasnt good enough to take counter measures against herself. but for now Tk was interested in a fight, he was out for information.
iron Hide wasn't in anyway, shape or form Stupid. he anticipated this outcome and was prepared to launch off a Shock wave attack at the precise moment the Purrloin landed on top of himself. but things weren't going as planned, the parylazation from earlier was still in effect and so even though he would still be able to launch the Shock wave he wouldn't be able to recover from the foul play and there for would indeed crash into the earths crust once again.

A red beam of light recalled Purrloin, taking her from the battle. She hadn't fainted, but Olesya was done with the Pokemon battling.
"Wrong," she said as she looked at Iron Hide. "What you have is a pet with stockholme syndrome," she said and then she looked at T.K. "No, you wouldn't even know what that is. I'll give you an example, fight me, you and me, fist to fist. Then, enjoy it, like a hobby, don't worry about the outcome, assume you can be fixed no matter what," she said and she took a basic boxer's stance, hands up, fists at the ready, knees bent.
"Then tell me if you'd ever consider me a friend for submitting you to that, constantly, for my enjoyment," she said and then she took the first swing, clad in steel.

Jeffery, standing quite a bit more stable than Henrietta, put his weight forward as the girl launched at him and was able to easily bat her aside, using her own momentum to direct her towards the ground.
Sandile, meanwhile, now used Foul Play - with the roggenrola's attack stat boosted by Swagger, the attack would do a lot more damage. Coupled with the Sand Tomb's continued torrent, the crocodile pokemon would find it easy to maneuver.
((Trop, does Jeffery's Sandile have Moxie? Because if he beat Socant, he already got a stat boost.))
"Done yet?"
* * * * *
Dali was quicker than he looked, grabbing his shell and twirling around, Shell Blade active as he slashed horizontally as he spun, hoping to catch the Scraggy as it ran at him.
Eunmi twisted to the side, palm out to parry the punch. She jumped back again to get distance.
"You sound like a politician."

Thinking back to the nights that was just hours ago, the time when he questioned weather or not battling was right or wrong. of course he thought it to be right, he promised his mother that he would catch a raise many more steel type Pokemon, compete in the league cup, and find his Father. all of which included alot of pokemon battles.
'all of those reasons...for continuing my journey...wenrt for my Pokemon....but for me..' he realized as a fist connected with his face sending him back through the air. the landing was just as unplesent, "but...there my friends, they would let me know if they dident like battling!" he yelled as he recovered and went in with his first punch, his mind clouded by uncertainty, 'wouldn't They?'

((Didn't think about it, but I guess he could.)) Frate was caught up in his confusion, stumbling again as he tried to avoid the Foul Play, stumbling and then being struck, his own advanced power sending him crashing harder into the floor, the spinning sand of the Sand Tomb biting at his rock solid 'skin'. Henrietta, meanwhile, found herself grounded again. She rolled over her back and looked up at the grunt. She wasn't a fighter, not really, she could use her kendo if she had both arms and her shinai but at the moment she was just an underweight eighteen year old girl who was already injured. It was too much. A glance at Frate told her that Frate was dealing with more than he could handle. The spiraling winds, the confusion, the foul play, all of it was too much for him and she grit her teeth and looked at her belt and then at Melty's pokeball. Was it too far away? At this point she had no other options. First thing was first, though, she had to save Socant. Rolling back over quickly, she lunged in the direction that Socant had been kicked, the tiny thing lost in the dirt and debris. She felt herself reach her first leg and the terrible pain that shot through her but she pressed on, soon reaching her feet and she started her stumbling sprint. *** The blade and the Faint Attack collided. Dali would get off his slash but in terms of physical power alone, it meant that he wouldn't be able to block the strike and Scraggy would smash into him with the Faint Attack. At the zero distance, Scraggy would make for another attack, ignoring the slash across his face as he released a chop, aiming to use Brick Break upon Dali's face. As for Leronarda and Eunmi? Leonarda looked at Eunmi as her fist was parried and she shrugged. "Scraggy and I don't fight for fun, that's how we're different, and why I'm not the pot." The distance had been created and Leonarda looked bored by it all, her eyes half closed and her lips a flat line. "Anytime you feel like taking this seriously lemme know," she said dully as she took up a stance. *** ((Edited in for Takamaru))"Nope," Olesya said as she caught the tiny fist and returned with her other fist, aimed for the face again. "They create artificial attachments to get through the trauma you put them through by forcing them to fight," she said.

This time Takamaru was sent skidding across the ground, Iron Hide standing in front of him. his large round eyes locked with his. "No..." he began but spit a wad of blood from his mouth, "...your wrong." he said, his back to Olyesa. "i cant come up with something smart to say, but i know, from deep within me, your wrong." he said simply as he turned to face his opponent again.
"Pokemon are many times stronger than us humans, and they know it. just look at the Munna and mushrna of this place, do they look traumatized to you when faced by humans?" he said as he walked closer towards Olesya, his mind clearing with each step.
From where Iron Hide sat, a small grin tugged at his mouth...
[your starting to get it...] said the small iron pokemon to no one but himself.

"You're the one aiming to hit me," Eunmi said. "I don't fight for fun either."
She wasn't going to be intimidated or instigated into a fight - Eunmi wasn't an angry person. Selectively determined, yes, but she had never really been provoked before.
"But you're going to attack me without explanation because I won't give you my Pokemon, and act like you're better than me without giving me a chance to even understand where you are coming from."
Dali rose his shell to his face as he skidded back from the faint attack, blocking the Brick Break with his shell. The force was tremendous, but his shell was a good enough defense.
Eunmi quickly pulled out her Pokedex, flicking it open, but keeping eye contact with the woman. It would scan without her needing to press any buttons, but she would have to steal a glance at some point. She needed to keep talking.
"I'm an open minded person," Eunmi said. "Why do you want my Oshawott?"
* * * * *
Foul Play, over again - it was easy to keep up with Frate stumbling all over the place. Jeffery looked slightly amused at how frantic the Roggenrola was, desperately trying to keep up with his Sandile.
"You just won't give up, will you?" he said. "Try as you may, it won't matter. My Sandile will just keep getting stronger and stronger the more you struggle."
He said this to both Frate and Henrietta. He turned his attention back to Henrietta, shaking his head as she desperately tried to get to her feet. He wasn't worried, now, she was headed in the direction of her unconscious Joltik. Maybe the sight of the broken pokemon would finally force her to give up hope in winning.

"To free it from it's turmoil," said Leonarda with a shrug. "We're a Pokemon activist group, you know. We're here to free the oppressed Pokemon and all of that," she said. She, clearly, didn't like long winded speeches.
With a sigh she said, "look, we can talk, and our Pokemon can beat each other silly but when it comes down to it we'll probably just end up fist fighting for your Oshawott. So what do you say? Save my Scraggy and your Oshawott some wounds and just duke it out here, you and me?"
***
This time Frate was able to stand his own. Still confused, the Foul Play came, aimed to use his own power against him. Frate had to make this a good one. With his beefed up power he launched into it, aiming to crash into Sandile with Head Butt for an exchange of blows.
As for Henrietta she reached Socant and felt the tears in her eyes begin to stream down her cheeks, stinging where she'd been slapped and she knelt down and scooped the little thing up.
"I'm so sorry, Socant," she said and she turned and looked at Frate, struggling hard and the Grunt, calm and collected and then there was her, broken and beaten.
Frate was new, he wasn't trained, he didn't have a reason to be loyal. As for Henrietta? She wasn't going to win this by being nice. Her eyes fell on Melty's ball.
If she admitted it, he was cruel, he would take the extremes necessary if she was in danger, he'd done it before. She just needed him to do it again. She grit her teeth and started her sprint once more, this time toward Melty's ball.
***
"That's the problem with faith, there's no proof. An arbitrary concept to justify believing real hard in something. You're in denial because you don't want to see yourself as a monster," said Olesya.
She giggled, "oh! Brains are funny, if you teach something that it cannot hurt you, it won't. You were told the tall grass was dangerous, right? That's because wild pokemon, out of instinct, attack us. Why is that? Why do you think they magically like you if you catch them? There's no reason, no logic, and faith is just a child's way of hoping really really hard.
"So you tell me, are you having fun in our battle?"

A job to do? So there was a reason that the grunt was here after all, and it apparently had nothing to with Salieri. Which made her wonder why he attacked her in the first place when she had tried to leave. Maybe because she was catching on to the plan? Or maybe because she was a girl?
She lowered her leg and raised her fist up as she walked to him. “Don’t call me girly-“
Like her opponents before, Salieri found that her arm would not move any further. She looked down at the vine lightly ensnaring her arm like an extension of Chen Zhen’s limb. Her eyes met the Pansage’s, who shook her head at her with a pleading look.
Part of her felt that she shouldn’t let Bill just walk away. He was up to no good, and he was just a rotten person. She felt responsible to bring him to justice. But Liuye Dao had fought so hard for her, and Salem had saved her life. She owed them more than she could ever repay. Continuing this battle would only prolong their recovery, and beating him senseless wasn’t making her feel any better than it had before.
The vine slowly unraveled and went back into Chen Zhen’s arm as Salieri lowered her fist. The fight was over. “That’s another thing. You won’t answer that one question, and it’s boggling my mind.” She pointed at Bill with her hand on her hip in what was becoming a signature pose. “Why are you here? Why did Team Plasma come to the Dreamyard?”

"Monster me? no, you? much more likely." he commented as he stopped dead, staring Oleaya down. "but you are right, brains are funny things, and your are right again about how i was told not to go into tall grass, but from there on your nothing but wrong, cause you see, where most kids listened to there parents warnings, i didn't. i went into the grass, Fear of injury dident stop me from wanting to Learn what was out there" he spoke allowed as Iron Hide watched intently
"Pain is just the bodies way of learning, like right now for instance, im getting my a** handed to me, but on the flip side- look how much ive learned about you, your ideals, and even my self." he said as his adrenaline picked up, the pounding in hears wouldn't stop as he charged her once again, this time how ever his resolve was clear .
"Pokeballs may capture the Pokemon, but not there heart" he yelled as he feinted to he left, then to her back then back again o her left, side stepping any incomeing attacks. "Logic and Reason arnt always absolute, Iron Hide was weak against Cress's Panpour, and so logically we should have lost, but we dident, we won!" he continued on while in the midst of the fight, he now went in with a forceful swing to her mid section, if that dident work he would send his leg flying towards her temple seeing as how the taller woman would have to lean downwards to get proper defense against her mid section.

"Officially to get Dream Mist, they didn't tell us how, though," said Bill as he turned his head to look back toward the battlefield. "So we just gotta round up a bunch of Munna, we figure. You want me to be honest?" he looked back to Salieri. "The bunch of guys they sent with me are hardcore, one guy, Albert, he's in charge of the operation but he ain't Plasma, not in his heart. Wanted man probably," said Bill and he shrugged.
"Not any of yer business, though. Draw yer own conclusions, I'm just followin' orders, my speculation isn't relevant," he said and he turned toward the way he'd came and started that way, pausing for a second to say, "but, there's only one reason you gather up all the filth in one place," and he started off again.
***
Olesya found the whole thing amusing. As the punch finally landed she giggled again. "I knew you wouldn't understand! Pain is the brains way of telling you that something is wrong. It's not a growing experience, it's not learning, it's a warning," she said.
She looked at the fist, that of a twelve year old boy. He'd probably just hit puberty, probably never worked out a day in his life. At least not enough since he'd hit puberty to actually damage a grown woman like Olesya, clad in armor, not hitting steel. No, it was more likely that he'd just hurt himself.
"So because you had the skill to win a Pokemon battle suddenly all Pokemon totally love humans? You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and this is why I didn't want to bother explaining it," she said.
Then she sighed and shook her head. "Boy, you have learned nothing. You've reached a false clarity based on the faith that those you traumatized must truly love you. You're part of the problem! You're delusional! In denial!"

All the filth in one place… The significance of those words was lost on Salieri, who was having trouble finding meaning in them. The whole ordeal had been confusion and chaos. What had started out as a training exercise had turned into a complete disaster. I guess there’s a reason for the Do Not Enter sign after all.
She felt a tug on her pants leg, and saw Chen Zhen gripping onto her. She ruffled the leaves on the top of his head gently. “Chen Zhen… Now that the fight was over, Sal felt a little weak at the knees. She felt she had proven something, at least: getting him to block the kick was enough for her. But the thought of not knowing what was going on…
“You know, I used to keep score of my wins and losses in my head,” she confessed to Chen Zhen. “After today, I’m not so sure what counts anymore…”
Salieri turned her head back to the Dreamyard, pushing her stray hair back past her ears. There was still no sign of Wayne, but she knew he could be in trouble. And she wanted to go look for him, but in her pokemon’s condition she would be of little help. “Wayne’s tough, I’m sure he’s taking care of himself.”
She began to walk away, towards the whole in the fence from which she had started. “Let’s go, Chen Zhen.”

Takamaru's Fist struck metal, which stung like a b***h. after backing up Takamaru continued to talk. "Iv had enough of this, you wont see things my way i wont see them yours. you keep on preaching about how im in denial, and how im delusional and how pokemon are traumatized. but, are you so compleatly sure that you yourself arnt in denial." he asked nursing his fist from where he struck steel.
"and on what basis can you conclude that pokemon are traumatized of humans? symptoms of Traumatization are like the inability to trust, which most pokemon under the care of trainers obviously don't have. a sense of constant danger, i cant speak for every one but my poekmon sleep soundly at nights so im pretty sure they dont feel 'in danger' " continued the small boy as Iron Hide walked up beside him.

Robert noticed the man's leg lift, which was going to take the knee out of range. Robert swept his leg backwards to give himself a more stable standing. As the man came in with his open palm attack, Robert used his free hand to grab at the man's wrist, while his other hand clamped onto the wrist that was holding him. Without hesitating, Robert propelled himself into a almost horizontal position, aiming to slam both of his feet into the man's face or chest. Given the situation, chances were very good there'd be no way for the man to avoid this one. And should it hit, he might be lucky enough for the attack to cause the man to release him.
Robert's Pokemon acted on their own at this point. Garnet and Freya went into the battle while Beatrix took the opportunity to wait until the Meinshao's attention was away before calling upon the power of Future Sight, an attack intended to catch the Meinshao off-guard as it would strike from behind after Freya and Garnet were finished their assaults.
Freya went into the battle with Extreme Speed to begin a flurry of rapid-strike attacks on the Meinshao. As she made her combo attack, Garnet would jump out from behind Freya and launch a spinning Blaze Kick at the Meinshao. The duo would keep the Meinshao engaged until Future Sight came into play.
