Mini RP - Kanto Badge Run (Reno)

[Reno Vantas]

Tsuki's response was to scream in fear, flailing arms as she began to scramble for an exit, her Razor Claw dropping to the floor in the sudden flurry of motion. The Sneasal would look to the object before grabbing it close, the groggy motions creating a stumble that sent Tsuki head first into the ground. Reno, bearing witness to this all, would change his charge to where Tsuki was. Grabbing her and rolling away from the location, Reno decided that now would be a time to take advantage of the inadvertent connection Sabrina was supplying. Pumping the energy enhancing his senses through to Tsuki, the red haired Psychic watched as she began to convulse before the energy converted into the correct polarity, snapping Tsuki awake and making her glow from the power that was now coursing through her. The Razor Claw would also glow before it settled with the rest of Tsuki, allowing her a chance to finally launch another attack. A haphazardly launched Dark Pulse that was more the release of the pent up energy through a new outlet than a directed, malicious attack.

Looking to his new Weavile as it exploded with dark energy, Reno hoped the moment would allow him to rush forward when Sabrina's psychic powers might not reach him, hoping to draw close and start this duel of Psychics on grounds he was more comfortable with.

Tsuki would slam into the expanding wall of psychic energy, the Weavile slowing to a crawl as she was bringing her claws forward, prepared to slice into the Hypno with a Metal Claw. The Hypno would have a good open opportunity to launch an attack at this point, although the Weavile would still likely attempt to claw through to its target.

Reno would face a similar situation of his rush being slowed to a crawl while he saw Tsuki end up much slower than even he had been going. Quickly realizing how he might get around the Trick Room for the moment, the gym challenger shifted into a slow walk towards Sabrina. Raising his right hand and slowly bringing it towards Sabrina's arm, Reno would attempt to poke her arm and see if the reversal of motion worked for this type of movement.  

[Reno Vantas]

Reno would look to the now teleported Sabrina, smiling sheepishly before finally speaking up. "Look, my Psychic ability only really works if I'm actually in a fight or trying to locate somethin'. Passively standin' around and usin' the energy like that isn't how I work." Reno explained, stalking after Sabrina again to take this duel of Psychics back into a field he could control.

With Tsuki, the oncoming Focus Blast was intercepted without fail and sent the Weavile flying away into the wall of the room. Upon impact, an odd effect occurred that made the Weavile fade from view. Her reappearance in a burst of shadowy static, crouched at the Hypno's feet, groaning in pain, would be followed by a dark claw slashing upward, the Feint Attack. This would hopefully take down the Hypno before another blast could wipe Weavile into an even more desperate state or worse.

Tsuki would simply collapse upon seeing the burning glare of the light, a silent scream across her face as she stared into the sky. Reno would have returned the Weavile at that moment, if his focus hadn't been required on keeping track of the Psychic blast. Allowing Serene Senses to guide his movements, tempering them with the knowledge that the slower he moved the faster he went, Reno slowly collapsed onto the floor into a chinese split, the Psychic blast slamming into his nose and sending his head snapping back further. Using the recoil from the impact, Reno allowed the momentum moving his head slowly to give him a chance to send himself sliding forward and allowing the trick room to take the slow movement and make it crazy fast. Pulling out a Pokeball as he flew knees first towards Sabrina, Nova now began to flap in front of the Mr. Mime, angrily letting out a shrill shriek as she appeared, hoping to get the Bug Buzz off without any impediment.  

[Reno Vantas]

Calmly swinging his legs in front to slam into the wall, Reno bent down to absorb the energy he had from the slide before slowly rising to his feet again. Having watched the strange aura switch occur after the Mr. Mime had taken absolutely no damage or even noticed the Bug Buzz, he had some idea of what might have happened. Deciding now might be a good opportunity for some creativity, Reno roared out with, "Nova, Whirlwind!!" Watching the Volcarona kicking up the sweeping wind, her trainer decided now would be a smart idea to rush towards the Mr. Mime and aim a diving kick at the Pokemon once it was off balance from the relentless wind.  

[Reno Vantas]

Looking to the Espeon before motioning to Nova with his fingers looking like fangs near his teeth, Nova took the odd motion as some sort of an idea. Blinking a few times before looking to the Espeon, she spat out a small needle at the Psychic type and felt a link form between her and the needle. And when it made contact, it would give her the energy that the Espeon lost. The beauty of Leech Life at work, even if it was likely weakened.

Looking to Sabrina, Reno once again pushed himself slowly along the floor, flying feet first at his opponent in an effort to keep her from focusing too intensely on the battle.  

[Reno Vantas]

Looking to the flying blast of Psychic energy, Reno sighed in midair before looking to Nova and nodding. Giving a flap of her wings, Nova sent a gust to adjust Reno's flight to intercept the blast. Tucking into a ball before impact, he was slammed by the concussive power of the energy and found himself planted into one of the walls of the room. "Just because I haven't been trainin' on my mental powers so much, doesn't mean that I'm just gonna roll over and let you kick me across your Gym." The threatening growl echoed out from the new crater he occupied before removing himself from the wall. Standing up with a defiant glare, the red head flashed his eyes over to Nova. "Let's get dangerous. No amount of power decrease is gonna stop me. Fiery Dance." Tapping his foot as the final words echoed out, Reno pointed to the Espeon before beginning his slow walk towards Sabrina.

Nova allowed her wings to build up flames, the intensity of the flames varying as the attack attempted to reset to normal power. Growling as she was forced to deal with the weaker flames, she gave an almighty flapping of her wings and sent a fire storm surging towards the Espeon. But rather than slam into the Pokemon and burst into almighty flame, it instead surrounded the Espeon as the Fire Spin began to roast and trap the Pokemon. "You're in my mind, are ya? Maybe ya wanna see this." Reno uttered, controlling his thoughts to focus on his last fight against Takashi, the tactics he had chosen and the thoughts he had racing through his head throughout the battle in an effort to confuse Sabrina between reality and his memory.
