The battle against Blaine PT. 2

Blaine let out a laugh as Balto and Arcanine let out howls as they fought. It was almost like the fight Balto had with his father only far more brutal. Blaine's Arcanine, Vita, showed off why she was a prime example of the species as she effortlessly outmaneuvered Balto through sheer speed. It was pissing Empress off as she tried her best to help Balto out, but she could barely hit Vita. With Elrond joining up, he managed to slow Vita down somewhat allowing the others to hit her. Galadrial sent a Shadow Ball towards Vita as Balto slammed into her with a full powered Flame Wheel. Aragorn used Incinerate as the dark green flames of Dragon breath ghosted across Vita's form via Empress. There was a loud growl before Vita shook them loose with a burst of Extreme Speed, Vali whistled softly as she made a mental note to teach Balto how to do that.

Blaine said, "They're doing extremely well."

"I'm very proud of them," Vali said as Vita was slowly worn down until finally Balto managed to take her down with a well-place Fire-fang.

Vali found that she had to return Arwen and Idril after Vita was returned as it turned out that she'd managed to knock the two out not long before she'd been taken down. Now it was down to Ninetails and Magmar, she looked at Magmar and found that it looked somewhat wreaked with Smaug in just as bad condition. The two were panting heavily with deep wounds. She bit her bottom lip as they continued to rip at each other. Blaine shook his head as he said, "They'll stop eventually. Let's see how they take on Mina."

Mina the Ninetails was almost untouched by her pack despite their best efforts, but Vali knew it wouldn't be long until that changed. She sent more energy towards Thorin and offered some suggestions to Elrond as the battle ragged. Mina was a mix class fighter though preferred to stay back away from the fighting. It was amazing to watch this sly fox manage to work around her pokemon avoiding attacks even when they were too close for it to work. Blaine was cackling at how easily Mina managed to slip past her pokemon at some points. Despite her avoidance though, Mina couldn't avoid everything and the attacks that hit began stacking up.

Mina slowly managed to whittle her pokemon down. Vali grimaced as she returned Eowyn then Aragorn. Just as she went to return Terra, the little Larvitar let out a small roar of anger and began to glow brightly causing the battles to die down for a moment. Vali took out her camera immediately to take pictures of the somewhat unexpected event as she said, "Terra."

Terra felt a bit of rage as that stupid fox sent her flying for the last time. As her vision began to fade a bit, she let out a small roar and forced herself up as the energy that had been bubbling beneath her skin for month reared. A bit of panic raced through her at the feeling of it and she tried to force it down only for Vali's voice to cut through, "Terra."

Why was she panicking? Vali had been helping her prepare for evolution and it wasn't like she wouldn't be protected in the cocoon. She'd be just fine. She would be okay. Terra let the power of her evolution flow over her as the panic faded and images of becoming a Tyranitar once more filled her mind. She would become one and be able to protect Vali. Everything would be okay. She just needed to be calm. Besides Dust had mentioned being in a cocoon while evolving, it would be just like that only for a longer period of time.

Vali felt a bit worried when Terra seemed to stall her evolution for a moment before it suddenly continued with a massive burst of light. When the light faded, Terra's Pupitar form was taller than her Larvitar one. The thick grayish-blue shell looked like it was a shade or two lighter than the norm, but she could just be seeing things. Instead of four large spikes on top of her head, Terra had three with a pair of prongs on her middle on. She blinked her red eyes at the world around her through the eye holes in the cocoon. The holes above her eyeholes were wider and somewhat curved. The mask on her upper portion seemed to be in a state of calm. Each of Terra's spikes were curved with most point towards her cocoon save for the bottom two which were curved outward, they also seemed to be spiked.

Blaine let out a soft whistle as Vali returned Terra after taking a couple more pictures, "I've seen a few Pupitar in my day, but your Terra is definitely one of the more unique ones."

"She's amazing, but I didn't know she'd be evolving any time soon," Vali ran her fingers over Terra's ball, "How'd I miss that?"

"Larvitar grow slow and you'll probably never notice them being ready to evolve until they pop," Blaine replied, "It's the same with all rock and ground-types,"

Vali nodded slowly as she put Terra's pokeball away, "Pokemon center after this."

"Of course," Blaine replied as Mina struck down Pele with no mercy.

Vali muttered a small curse and prepped her pokeballs with a mental sigh. Mina slowly whittled down her team as even as she was brought low. It came down to Balto, Smaug, and Thorin as Mina found herself knocked unconscious though Aragorn was the one to manage the final blow even as Mina knocked him out. The sly fox even looked pleased by the realization that she'd been felled by Aragorn. Rather than jump into the fight against Magmar, Balto and Thorin watched as Smaug continued his fight against Magmar though it too was at an end. There was a loud roar as Smaug slammed a Thunder Punch into Magmar's face, Magmar slammed a low kick into Smaug's stomach. There was a moment of silence as the two's eyes stayed locked before they began to collapse, Vali stared at them for a second before saying, "It's over. W-we won."

"Yup, you won and managed to pass my test. Granted I only used six pokemon, it could be said that you didn't quite manage to get by with a true win, but considering the rules we laid down..." Blaine grinned as he returned Magmar while she did the same with Smaug and her other pokemon, "You passed, Brat. You've officially completed your apprenticeship,"

Vali grinned brightly as she shouted, "We did it! We fucking did it!"

"You did," Blaine laughed as he patted her shoulder, "Now let's get these guys healed and that paperwork signed,"

Vali deflated a bit at the mention of paperwork, "Had to ruin it, didn't you?"

"Yup," Blaine hummed lightly.
