[ akaashi glances up, seemingly unsurprised at the sight of another trainer approaching. he nods calmly in response to oikawa's question. ]

Let's, please. [ without further ado, akaashi will take a poké ball from his belt and toss it up, waiting for the pokémon inside to be released before slowing the ball's descent with telekinesis. ] Exeggutor.

[ ...a test. the grass-type' pokémons three heads give a deafening chorus of bellows and it stamps its feet on the ground, looking excited to battle. akaashi frowns the slightest bit at the noise, but watches his opponent unblinkingly to take in the details of oikawa and his vulpix. the psychic is waiting to see whether oikawa takes the advantage of their mismatched typing as it is or switches out for another team member. ]

[Unless his opponent uses something Hajime is critically weak to that will knock her out in seconds, she's always his first in line. It's in the name, isn't it?]

Hajime, you're up~

[This guy's look worries Oikawa a little. One - Oikawa hasn't seen him blink yet which can't be healthy, two - he sent out a grass type when he has a fire type in plain sight.]

Ah, go easy on me, Okay? I haven't stopped at a pokemon centre in a while! [Not entirely true, Hajime's in perfect condition but psyching opponents out is all part of the game. And the not blinking thing is getting really creepy.]

[bokuno]

[ akaashi fixes oikawa with a critical look. his ears are ringing unpleasantly with the aura he's learned to associate with warning, or more simply something else. but even without psychic senses, akaashi can tell by age and the way oikawa holds himself that he's at a high enough level to know what he's doing...or at least to pretend to. ]

...You're a strong trainer, aren't you?

[ akaashi doesn't wait for oikawa to respond, though. ] Psyshock!

[ at its trainer's command, exeggutor ceases moving for a moment and its three heads concentrate in tandem. with a low cry, the pokémon sends a wave of psychic power crashing into oikawa's vulpix—exeggutor's intelligence fuels the special attack stat for the move, but the nature of the attack means it should land like a physical blow. how well vulpix withstands the hit is entirely dependent on its body's own sturdiness, and it doesn't appear any stronger than the average non-evolved pokémon to akaashi.

though if it is, well...psyshock is a very good test for whether or not the fire-type is hiding something, like its trainer. ]

[tooruler]

[It's not so much that there's anything special about Hajime. She's cute and ordinary but she's ordinary in a solid little way. She can take a hit but-]

Dodge, stay light on your feet!

[It's better when she doesn't get hit at all. Which is why she's had a whole lot of training in running the hell away from attacks like that - particularly tricky ones that land physical.

She doesn't make it clear out of the way but the damage is minimal.]

Counter with fire blast, please. [He barely needs to say the words before she's stopping mid jump to open her mouth and spill fire at his Executor - a benefit of working with the same pokemon so long, it cuts down on delays and makes her that much faster.]

[bokuno]

...! [ akaashi grits his teeth and visibly tenses for the first time since the battle started, possibly not for the reason oikawa thinks: fire blast is a risky move, one he's only encountered a handful of times in higher-level trainer battles where the damage could be extreme. the difficulty for any pokémon in controlling the blast with total accuracy combined with a high energy cost means most trainers in the ace range would rather avoid it, for their own safety as well as the surrounding environment.

however, akaashi at the same time recognizes how the vulpix's lightning-fast reflexes in response to its master's orders are a sign that the two are 100% in sync—the danger there, by contrast, lies in their ability to execute techniques more capably than opponents twice their strength. contemplating this and other factors in the battle, akaashi looks on patiently while his exeggutor clamors as it burns. the grass-type is currently stamping its feet in agony through the burning daimonji that threatens to consume it alive, not having the time nor speed to evade the attack for the duration. rather than concerned, akaashi seems impassive, expression closed and unblinking again while his inner eye fires off potential actions and solutions at rapid speed. ]

......... [ akaashi's eyes suddenly narrow as he spots a telltale shape dropping through the smoke in the pokémon's leaves: a sitrus berry, from the looks of it. akaashi is clearly annoyed as his exeggutor's middle head bites into the fruit to soothe its injuries. ]

Bokuto's been feeding you again, I see.

[ he sighs. there's no helping it now, but berries are for emergencies, dammit. neither he nor bokuto has time to waste planting replacements for the ones they've lost. ]

Light Screen!

[ exeggutor's eyes glow with power, and a shimmering barrier appears in the air. that, plus the berry's recovered damage, should give his pokémon at least one more chance to attack and protect the one that follows should it fail. ]

[tooruler]

[Oikawa suppresses a bubble of irritation at the defensive move. But it makes his initial attack all the more sensible.

But did he really berate someone for feeding his pokemon? From here his Exeggutor looks fine, and that first attack was certainly as powerful as it should be. But. Food is important for pokemon. It does good things like keeps them alive and happy.

Pushing aside his concerns for his opponent's pokemon, he considers his options. On one hand, Hajime did take a hit even though it was a glancing blow and he hates her getting knocked out. On the other, she'll sulk later if he switches her out too much or stays too much on the defensive. And it could be that another Fire Blast would manage to take the ridiculous tree down.

He makes up his mind.]

Hajime, again - roast that vegetable! [It's an eggplant. That's a vegetable.]

[bokuno]

[ it's not so much the 'feeding' part that irritates him as what is being fed—after all, pokémon food can be bought as cheaply as the human variety and obtained at urban pokémon centers for free. berries by contrast can only be harvested or obtained as gifts; so akaashi would rather save them for occasions when his and bokuto's collected money is low enough that food and healing supplies can't be bought.

…but that's a talk for later. right now, akaashi isn't close enough (or skilled enough, in all likelihood) to get any sense of oikawa's thoughts, and even if that were the case he'd save any misconceptions about his pokémon's health for after the battle. ]

Dodge it if you can! [ not an impossible task, especially with the light screen in place; though still unlikely considering exeggutor's not trained for speed. sure enough, the grass-type fails to avoid the burning pyre, and akaashi doesn't waste time dwelling on his bad luck. ] Never mind, then…Uproar, Exeggutor!

[ exeggutor opens all three of its fanged mouths and begins to bellow, loosing a deafening cacophony that shakes the bones of every living creature in the area and the earth itself. it's painful to hear for all present, though the awful noise is only damaging in the literal sense to pokémon as their ears are adapted to pick up on the injurious wavelength that causes fainting.

uproar is a a sound-based moved and has no point of impact, so there's nothing for oikawa's vulpix to dodge. which, of course, is the entire reason akaashi chose it. using an attack outside exeggutor's type specialty is worth the lessened power, if the attack lands at full strength. if he's lucky enough the sound might even be agonizing enough to cause his opponent's pokémon to miss its next attack… ]
