[ WOW LOOK IT'S THAT ACTION THINGY WE SPOKE ABOUT YEARS AGO. Silver wouldn't be the only one at the stadium that day. Not only did a certain Blaziken like to train there, but there was another Pokemon who had been making use of the space as often as she could.

Silver's BFF Flynn.

She was later to the place than usual, for reasons, though it didn't concern the Scizor much. She had no time frame she followed, and as long as she got to practice, that was what mattered.

... but oh, it doesn't take long for her to see a familiar figure. Silver.

Sulky eyes are a go. ]

-?

[...Well, he's been training his Sneasel and Crobat today, who are a bit busy having a sparring match against each other, so it didn't take him long to notice a familiar shape in this place.]

You're by yourself today?

Scizor.

[ She might not like him much, but a response is a response. Hopefully, he understood the answer (and if not, the lack of a Lyra would help him). Flynn's eyes flickered to the scene of the fight nearby, having been attracted to it when she'd seen it coming in. Just happened to turn out that Silver was the likely trainer of the two. ]

I see.

[While it's definitely awkward that the last time they met she punched him, it's just the stupid Christmas season so he doesn't really care anyways.

Though. He noticed what she was staring at earlier, so-]

Want to join them?

[For a practice match, that is-]

[ The offer wasn't expected, and Flynn thought over for the offer a little. A little not being too long before the Scizor brought up her pincers, snapping them as some movement seemed to animate into her body. ]

Scizor.

[ Another basic response, this time with a nod. Yet Flynn preferred opponents in her training, even if they were Silver's.

Actually, that made it all the more better. ]

Alright, then.

[He's going to whistle, causing the two to stop their training as they approached him with a sort of confused look from the Sneasel side, and an excited look from the Crobat as it literally whizzed past Silver and is now circling around Flynn excitedly while muttering about meeting a Scizor and all.]

This is Flynn, and she's going to be your training partner for the day.

[ The last energetic Pokemon Flynn met received a pincer in its face. She watched the Crobat move around as excited as it was, moving her head only some to be aware of the pattern it was making; she had dealt with enough sneaky attacks to not let her guard down.

Mindful of the Crobat, Flynn's attention then went to the Sneasel, looking it over in a way that appeared more like she was simply staring at it. Silver had been someone Lyra had gone against a few times in the past, so the Scizor expected some good out of the two Pokemon...

Flynn looked back to Silver. She snapped a claw to the Crobat and to the Sneasel, but said nothing in a language he wouldn't understand. He already knew that she wanted to join in with the fighting, so maybe the motion to the two would be easy to understand.

Her against both of them? Not that she looked like she minded at all. Perhaps that was what she was requesting. ]

...You want to go against the both of them?

[The Sneasel actually looked a bit interested at that gesture; sure ganging up doesn't sound right at all in all his pretentious dictionary, but considering their Typing this sounds like a pretty fun match-up, to be honest.

...Crobat's still just chattering away like an idiot, unfortunately.]

[ Look at how much Flynn is taking noticing to all that chattering. Should've brought a Mareep for that one there.

But at the question, the Scizor nodded. She wasn't a trainer, but she was a fighter, and she had been against these types before in her journeying with Lyra. They weren't too much of interesting opponents on their own, but Flynn had always seen potential in their types. Flying foes were always tricky ~~R.I.P flying type badge~~, and Sneasels themselves had always been... interesting.

Plus, they're both smaller than her, and therefore only good together. Yes. She would accept nothing else now. ]

Alright, then.

[Well, this is going to be awkward to explain to Lyra if these two somehow went for an overkill. Though knowing her Scizor, she'd probably be tough enough to handle the both of them.]

I'll be on this side, and you'll be on that one.

[Gotta have a distance to start a fight, after all.]

[ Flynn goes to the side left, placing herself in the position that Pokemon would be called out to. She had noted the markings in the stadium ages back when coming here, so no problem there. ]

[That said and done, he's going to go to his side with his pair of... well, the dork duo, as he tends to say to himself most of the time.

But anyways, alright, now that they're ready...]

Alright, then, let's begin.

[He doesn't make a move, though. Looks like Challengers start this battle, apparently.]

[ She waited, but seeing that he was making no commands, Flynn understood that it was up to her to begin the battle - which was acceptable enough to her. Moving her pincers out on either side of her, and opening them up like she had before, she eyed her opponents of her once more...

And then began to go towards them, feet clumping hard into the ground in a run. Her pincers were still opened wide as she moved, only closing once she was upon their side of the field, in which she delivered a flurry of bullet punches to the Crobat, no matter which way it might have moved to.

That bat-- she wanted to take that one down first. ]

[...It didn't take Silver a long time to figure out that his Crobat's being targeted right at the get-go, and a move like Bullet Punch always spells trouble for the target if they're caught unprepared. There's no time for him to issue a command for the bat as it's caught by the attack, therefore-]

Sneasel, Icy Wind!

[Just like that, the agile one rushed towards the red metallic monstrosity, and blew ice cold wind at her general direction; sure the typing he's facing against meant that all his attacks would do half damage, but anything to get her general attention would work, really.]

[ The attack didn't receive her full attention right away, her claws wanting to give out as much trouble for the flying creature before she switched her targets.

Which she would, swinging out a pincer towards the Sneasel to make it cease- or, at most, to catch it unexpected. Though the icy attack was less trouble for her than it could have been, Flynn wasn't going to allow the Pokemon to continue on without interruption.

The Crobat could wait, for now. With her eyes upon the Sneasel, she pounced for it, wanting to hopefully pin it down long enough for her to bite into its soft, fleshy body. ]

[Naturally, the Sneasel is now thrashing against the bite, sure it's pretty damn painful, but compared to all the things he's been through, everything's pretty much clouded over anyways.

Though, facing against two opponents at once meant that one has to be alert at every moment, especially in the case of an attack that could damage her normally.

Case in point, those Air Cutters currently headed her way courtasy of that one Crobat.]

[ Her attention had moved, but she wasn't oblivious to the flying-type behind her, nor of the sound of the attack moving through the air. She had to move quick.

She rolled, leaving the Sneasel to take on what of the cutters hadn't caught against her shoulder in her last-moment escape. She would have liked to have bashed in the Sneasel's head too before leaving it, but she was lucky enough to get away with she did-- but if even luckier, perhaps the creature would get a taste of its teammate's attack.

But Flynn wouldn't waste time watching and waiting to see. She picked herself up as quickly as she could, flinching in the face for a split second at the pain in her shoulder but ignoring it for the chance to return it back in full.

She moved with speed- a different kind of speed from before, and one to be unexpected from a Scizor. It wasn't a naturally-learned move, and one that Flynn kept practicing to keep strengthened despite her body. Through a series of acrobatic-like moves, the Scizor made her way towards the the Crobat, using the strength of her wings to pick herself up from the ground at the last moment to reach it for an attack. ]

[There's a yell as the Sneasel got pelted by his own Teammate's attack, and considering Flynn's a Pokémon, she can probably tell that the Sneasel's spewing curse words and trying to weather through the pain as it tried to get up-

And seeing that the Crobat's just knocked away like a ball, smashing into the ground just like that.

Whoops.]

Sneasel, Icy Wind again! And follow up with a Metal Claw!

[With that, a gust of Northern Wind could be felt by Flynn as the Sneasel dashed forward with its claws glowing as it slashes at Flynn's exoskeleton!]

[ The gust met at the Scizor's back, chilling up the steel of her armour. She let out of sound as it did, but she didn't miss the call for an attack. She wasn't able to dodge, but she turned in time to meet with the Sneasel and to rise up her arms in front of her. The attack delivers a blow against her, and she feels the claws damaging into her.

Flynn bit back any noise though, sending a claw out the first chance she gets to make the Sneasel back away. If she could get rid of one, then she could focus properly- they could keep dividing her attention if she kept going between them, and despite her advantages over them, she could become tired out before long by trying to keep up with the faster Pokemon.

The Sneasel was in front of her- and so that was who Flynn went for. She sent out a few more of her pincers out towards it, turning the attack into the same Bullet Punch she had given out before to its companion.

But her attacks wouldn't soon after that. The Bullet Punch had only been an attempt to slow down the Sneasel, to hopefully leave either it or Silver unsuspecting of the real attack Flynn had planned. ]

Sciiiii!

[ The Scizor flung her arms out to her sides, and lights sparked around her as she powered up ~~to over 9,000~~. Pincers wide opened, Flynn's body glowed with the power that she collected like an anime. She eradicated the space between them as quickly as she possibly could before sending her claws down to deliver the blow upon the Sneasel.

FLYNN used Superpower! ]

[There's a wide-eyed look from Silver as the Sneasel was totally unprepared for that, and thus, getting knocked out just like that considering the type advantage the move had over him.

Though, that look was slowly replaced with a small smirk.

'course, he wouldn't expect less from Lyra's Pokémon as his Crobat began releasing more Air Cutter as blades of wind were unleashed at Flynn's direction!]

[ There would be no near misses of the attack this time. The move made contact to the Scizor, hitting at her enough to cause Flynn to find her pincer hitting the ground when her knees faltered.

Her previous move took some power, as well as concentration. Her body felt weaker from using the move, but it was always the price to deal from that. Regardless, it left her with one opponent left, and one that that was much faster than her.

She would have to watch out from here on out.

Flynn moved to face the Crobat, her breath now heavier than it had been before. Despite of how much faster the bat was in comparison to herself, she mvoed towards it, ready to attack with another Bullet Punch, her pincers out ready to attack as soon as she was in range--! ]

[The Crobat knew that he's running out of juice to keep the barrage up and running as he flew to the side in an attempt to at least dodge the punch, the Scizor would be open for one more move-!]

Now, Toxic!

[Either ways, the Crobat is going to unleash globs of poison at the crimson bug!]

[ Her attack missed, but the Crobat's didn't. Well enough, the mess of poison covered over the Scizor's body, confusing the Pokemon for a second, but not having the poisonous effect that it would usually have an opponent.

There was no cause for concern over such toxins since her switch over to her steel-cladded body. Flynn instead took the chance to swipe back out at her opponent, her pincer open in the attempt to catch it between her pincer to crush! ]

[Well, one thing's for sure, it got one of his wings, which left it pretty much open as Silver realized the current outcome of this match.

Too late to stop the red menace from finishing it's move though-]

[ TIME TO BASH A CROBAT A BUNCH OF TIMES INTO THE GROUND UNTIL IT'S KO'D??? ]
