Umi caught the Leer and her defense lowered. Once her feet touched the ground she shot forward with all her speed, opened her beak and let out another Bubble attack. She used her wits of her colors and disguised herself along with the bubbles that flew at the Machop. She saw him use Focus Energy but soon her mind just flickered it from her consious. Following the more speedy bubble she prepared her wing for another pound, anger still flared in her eyes from the recent attack to her trainer.

The girl was on the ground and watched the piplup attack the other pokemon with all her might. She could see how Umi's eyes alomost glowed red. Neko wanted to help but her body was still paralyzed. Nothing would move. Even her ears and tail couldn't flicker an inch.

Machop grimaced when the pound landed, but didn't let the pain cloud what he wanted to do. Forming a fist and pulling it back, he targeted an Ice Punch at the distracted penguin.

OOC:/ I'm lazy today.

[nekomatta]

Umi had no happy expressions even when she hit. She drew her attention to her trainer's frozen body then turned back to see a blue fist smack her straight in the shoulder. She let out a cry of pain while she was blown off. Her little feet landed almost off balance. Forcing her weight to balance herself she threw another amount of bubble for her lack of movement.

Neko sat there longer than she thought she had. Blinking once or twice she was finally coming out of shock. Standing up shakily she use her long meowth tail for balance and slowly walked over. Now she was ready to help Umi. The piplup after the little bubbles she blew looked back to her trainer with a glitter in her eyes.

Machop cried out as he was hit with another onslaught of bubbles. He was pushed back, but he quickly regained his footing.

He turned around and started running away from Umi, but when he was a good distance away he did a U-Turn and charged straight at her. When he was almost upon her, he purposely did a slide with his leg sticking out. A trail of dust billowed up behind him. (Low Kick)

[nekomatta]

Both the trainer and the pokemon watched as the Machop was forced back. Umi also jumped backward just for the heck of it. The piplup found it intresting to see the machop runaway and come at her with a sharp low kick. umi was too much in thought of wondering what was oing through it's mind to worry about what was happening. Neko made a quick command for a bubble just as Umi was kicked off her feet. Quickly geting up she swirled around then jumped high into the air. Her beak open as she spun in the air letting a storm of shiny blue bubbles into the surronding.

Machop closed his eyes and yelped as he was assaulted with the bubbles. Being that the range was closer, it hurt him more than it normally would. When the bubbles stopped, he slowly stood. His legs wobbled and he had a bad place on his right arm; As much vigor as he had, he was weakening.

He took a few wobbly steps at Umi, raising his 'Weak' arm with an Ice Punch. The white frost was dull and looked brittle, almost as if it would fade away instantly.

~I can't lose... I won't...~ He thought. He had to noble of a cause to lose. He was to strong to lose.

He shuffled ever closer to the Water type, his focus fading a little with every step. When he was upon her, he lifted her arm but stopped. The light faded from his eyes, and he fainted.

Machop has fainted. Umi gains 1 level. Capture the Machop?

[nekomatta]

((Sorry I haven't replied in so long. Too much homework and after school tutoring ))

Neko couldn't believe her eyes of what she just saw. The Machop was going to use another of it's icy punches but it faded and he fainted. Before she was too dumbfounded of what just happened she ran over to the pokemon. She didn't want to capture, not just yet anyway, she wanted to know why he suddenly attacked her.

Umi however stretched her wings and waddled toward her trainer who was crouching next to the fainted pokemon. She looked to her trainer sympathetically wondering what they should do next. The poke'morph took another potion from her bag and began to spay it medical liquid where the Machop was injured.

[kittiepie]

{{It's okay, I understands. ^_^}}

The Machop tightened his fist when he felt energy flowing back into him, but them he released it. This person was helping him. Why? Didn't they just enslave Pokemon and them be cruel to them? Like she had done with Slugma?

Slowly, he cracked one eye open and looked up at the Meowth 'Morph. ~M-Macho....~ Which meant: "W-Why..."

[nekomatta]

Neko looked at the machop who was now regaining consiousness. Neko had a smile on her face to see that the pokemon was doing better now. Umi just stared in awe to see the pokemon still being able to move. Neko put down the empty potion bottle next to her.
Neko looked to the fighter as he barely manage to make out the words that could reach her ears.

I have to help the wounded. Also I wanted to know why you attacked us all of a sudden. She explained with a gentle smile across her lips.

Umi stood close next to her trainer and watched the Machop with soul piercing eyes.

[Birdybot]

ooc// On Neko's profile it says Umi's on level five, but she should be on level nine now, because she gained three levels from fighting Slugma and one from fighting Machop.

ic// Machop frowned. She wanted... to help? Hm, that was different to what he'd seen earlier. Why was she helping him just for that? Weren't trainers supposed to be heartless, cruel, forcing poor Pokémon to do their bidding? He winced at Umi's gaze, eyes squeezing shut as he sat down with a sigh.

Machop looked up again, but certainly not at that creepy Piplup-stare. He looked into the face of the Meowth 'morph, in an expression of geniune concern, not fake. He shook his head. ~It's so odd... You... Trainers... I attacked... You see, I was so, so angry. Trainers always come and mistreat Pokémon, and I thought you were one of them. But... it's just so strange... I've never met a trainer who is kind before. I misjudged you, sorry.~[/color] he explained.
