A Friendly Visit [Eira]

Eira took a calming breathe since it was clear that Grace's Protect was going to hold for a few more uses at this rate and the fact that it was able defend her from such a powerful looking attack. She crossed her fingers as she sent up prayer that another Metronome was going to help her out a bit more now that this round was coming to such a climax.

"Grace, let's try Metronome once more," she called to her partner Pokemon, who nodded before she began to wave her hands to summon forth whatever attack her power allowed for. Nothing seemed to happen at first, but then Grace began to speak in a warbling voice at a very fast pitch that Eira couldn't understand in any sense. She was unsure of what this move even was or what had happened, but she hoped that it was going to be beneficial for them.

(It's the move Flatter, which confuses the opponent and raises the opponent's Sp.Atk)

Eira couldn't help but to stare at Haxorus' sudden clumsiness, knowing full well that there was no way she could have gotten that lucky when Z trained his Pokemon much more than she did so he could run his gym. She paused for a moment before she decided that this would be the break she needed in order to go on the offensive against one of Z's most powerful Pokemon. "Grace!"

Grace jumped at the sudden demanding tone that her mother figure was using with her, not understanding that Eira was just nervous about what she was about to instruct the large Pokemon to do.

"Use your Return!" Eira called to her, pointing towards the collapsed Haxorus, hoping to take advantage of the large dragon being taken down by its own attack to finish it off. Grace paused before she began running towards Haxorus with her arms glowing brightly, the attack being incredibly powerful with how much Grace loved and trusted Eira and all of that emotion being channelled into her attack.

Eira smiled brightly at the fact that Grace had now managed to win her very first battle, the large pink Pokemon doing her own little dance at the judgement of her win.

"Come on back, Grace, and take a rest," Eira called to her beloved baby, who was clearly not so much of a baby anymore. She waited for Grace to come back to her side before she chose her next Pokemon, deciding to take advantage of the early lead to use one of her more battle ready Pokemon. "It's your turn, Cloud!"

The excessively large bird came swooping out of his ball with a twinkling call before he rested just above the field not too far from Eira, clearly ready for whatever challenge Z had for him.

Cloud did not have the time to dodge the attack thrown at him, so the Shadow Ball ended up exploding in his beak. When the small amount of smoke cleared, Eira took a step away from the field in fear of the face that her partner was making. Cloud was normally quite the jovial Pokemon, but the moment someone ruined his feathers was the moment he turned into another Pokemon entirely and that Shadow Ball did well to singe the feathers that Cloud held quite dear to himself. Letting out an incredibly deep cry for an Altaria, Cloud released a glowing purple beam from his beak as a powerful Dragon Pulse that, if it did not hit, would most likely wear Cloud down.

"Cloud, you need to calm down and think about who you are facing off against!" Eira called to her Pokemon in an attempt to get this battle back into order, especially with the knowledge that Cloud won't care what he will have to do to get revenge on the one who ruined his precious feathers. She was worried that the Cloud in this mood would go so far as to ruin something of Ruby's, which could lead to injury on a Pokemon like a Sableye. "Try using your Moonblast instead."

Cloud gave a shriek of rage as he flew higher into the air and potentially out of Ruby's reach before he began to power up his new attack, his rage channelling into this new attack that he trusted Eira knew would do more damage than his previous one.

Cloud floated higher and higher into the air to avoid the attack, finding the little creature incredibly annoying as it continuously came after him. In an attempt to simply get rid of the pest, Cloud released his attack in full force, coating the field in a soft pink glow as a beam of pink light shot its way towards Ruby. Eira had to shield her eyes from the blinding light, knowing full well that if this attack missed, Cloud would only have his defense to rely on for quite some time. She had no idea that her Pokemon had gotten so worked up to use up so much of his energy and she hoped that this attack did not seriously damage the Sableye if it landed.
