Mini RP - Kanto Badge Run (Reno)

[Reno Vantas]

Whipping his head around at the sudden teleportation, Reno was quick to find Ezekiel attempting to bite into him as he had swapped positions with the Alakazam. Preparing to shout an order to abort the attack, a new thought struck Reno. "Bite down right on my arm!" Reno ordered, watching as the Houndoom struggled with the strange order but complied due to physics demanding he have some sort of impact on Reno. Feeling the dark energy course through his system and establish itself for the moment, Serene Senses cut itself off as the psychic energy was negated. What followed next would be the telekinesis weakening as the energy began to be expelled from Reno's body, the man pushing himself forward to strike at Sabrina while the dark energies still weakened or eliminated any psychic attacks on him.

Giving a single hand motion to Ezekiel as he took off at Sabrina, Reno watched out of the corner of his eye as the Houndoom sprang into action. Charging forward and baring his teeth as another Crunch attack prepared to rip into the Alakazam, Ezekiel hoped this time would not end with another swap out.

Taking advantage of the first strike connecting, Reno spun around Sabrina to end up behind her and attempt to put her in a chokehold. "Sorry, but I think a vision has some issues when dark energy is included in the mix. So there we go. Not hard ta see how you might end up wrong." Reno calmly told the psychic, preparing himself for whatever counter she was likely to include to this attack on her.

Ezekiel would look to the oncoming blast before making his own decision on how exactly to approach this assault. Ducking as the blast closed on his head, the physical energy slammed into his horns and drove the Dark Pokemon back a few feet before it took off without pause, a Sucker Punch aimed to take advantage of the slight pause to clamp down on the Alakazam and chow down on the Psychic type.

Looking to the strange transformation he observed the Alakazam had just taken, a few connections to his trip in the lab a year ago came into focus. "Oh boy. That explains what the hell mega evolution is. Now that could be interesting." Reno muttered, keeping Sabrina bound in the headlock before attempting to administer a headbutt to scramble her brains for a moment. Thinking to himself what exactly he could remember from Kaiden and the blue light that had appeared, the man quickly realized that half of Ezekiel's arsenal was useless now. Having the known moves racing in his mind, a hopefully better idea came to mind as the crazy new idea decided to show itself. "Ezekiel, Toxic!!" Reno vigorously ordered, the move idea so unprepared that he possessed no taps to send it wordlessly. The reasoning of a Pokemon able to breath out poison smog being able to create somewhat stronger poison did not seem far off. And, to Reno's surprise, the Houndoom drew in a deep breath before projectilely spitting a cascade of the powerful poison at the Alakazam.

Unable to evade the twin blasts as they streaked through the air, Ezekiel was sent flying into the wall with a sickening thud as the Houndoom fell onto the floor. Looking between Sabrina and his Pokemon, he grit his teeth before grabbing the Houndoom and visibly shaking the Pokemon as he stared directly at the Pokemon. "C'mon! Let me see ya get up when it looks like we're done!! Let me see ya snarl! We are not letting this stop us!" Feeling the Houndoom begin to stir into consciousness in his arms, Reno turned to face Sabrina as the Houndoom moved to his side to let his master's hand rest on his head.

"You may tell me this is futile, but I don't care! I have never backed down from a fight like this and I am not letting this be an exception! Just who the hell do you think I am!?" Letting the exuberant tone take over his voice, the insane trainer decided to commit to an action that might prove deadly. He charged forward at the Alakazam, gripping one of the chains from the still remaining manacles to swing at the thing's head. As he charged forward, behind him would approach Ezekiel, preparing a Crunch that would be used after it had leaped over Reno and aimed to bite into the Psychic type's head.  

[Reno Vantas]

Allowing his senses to guide him instead of his planing that he had attempted, Reno sent himself leaping into the air alongside his Houndoom, denying his own attack as he instead intercepted the blast that seemed to have been meant for Ezekiel. Feeling himself flying back, the man attempted to avoid his Houndoom and only succeeded in managing to avoid knocking the Pokemon off course too badly, although it was debatable how much longer he could survive. But the urgency of this matter might be defeated with Ezekiel preparing to bite down into the Alakazam with the Crunch attack, now aimed at an arm due to the altered path.  

[Reno Vantas]

Catching Ezekiel as he flew through the air, Reno found the Houndoom struggling to keep consciousness after that last impact, eyes flickering open and shut with little control. Placing the Pokemon back on his feet before struggling to his feet himself, the red haired channeler pointed at Sabrina before supplying the words to match the gesture. "Y'know what? I don't need to listen to you. You have this idea you can predict the future and have this entire battle planned out, but I don't see it that way. I see a way to win this and I'm gonna keep fighting for that until I give out." Letting the unaccented statement hang in the air for a moment, Reno charge forward with Ezekiel to attack the Alakazam one last time. Looking to the Houndoom as it prepared a final Crunch attack, Reno gripped the chain from his manacle to swing at the Psychic menace. Who knows, maybe the Toxic had taken major effect at this point. Couldn't hurt to be on a long shot.  

[Reno Vantas]

Halting on the spot without so much as a word, Reno looked to his hands before looking to Sabrina gain. She would poison his Pokemon simply to have some spiteful prediction come true? And hell, with the Toxic as strong as it was at this point, it might rival the poison that he saw in the last gym. Letting that thought stew in his mind for a moment, Reno looked to Ezekiel before reaching into his bag to throw a berry at the Houndoom. "Okay, had my time to decide my fate. I take option three." Smirking at the girl before resuming his charge, Reno and Ezekiel would draw in for their attack as Reno finally announced his insane plan. "One Pecha berry! Courtesy of Celadon Gym and bred to fight off the poison from the Fuchsia City Gym!" Looking to his Houndoom and the Crunch attack he had prepared, the two swung for the Alakazam in hopes that it would defeat it and Sabrina's plan.

(I completely forgot to list this thing in my items since I thought it would only be usable here. And I somehow decided to not use it in the Fuchsia City Gym. I'm not sure if I regret that decision or not, but we'll see.)
