[PKMN FULL] Darker than it Seems... [IC]

Joint Post; Gray & Val​

"Well, Gray?" Val rolled her shoulders to loosen the muscles, the tested the familiar weight and balance of her sword. She tensed, sword drawing back in preparation to begin the fight with a thrust, then paused. Letting the point dip down towards the ground, she used her free hand to remove her belt, tossing it aside and out of the way to keep her Pokemon safe from the imminent battle. "If you want to do the same, I will wait for you." She stood there motionless for a minute or two. Then, regardless of what action Gray had taken, she suddenly bent her knees and lunged forward, her Viking sword flicking out in a thrust before angling away to come back in a lightning fast side cut, the thrust having been a feint.

"As she lunges to attack me, Her speed surprises me. It was as if she vanished for a second. I side stepped, almost avoiding the thrust completely, however, the blade slashed the side of my rib cage. I backed up quickly.
"Hmph... Not bad... I underestimated you. I could barely see you." I claimed as I let the blood seep out.

"I'm often underestimated. Opponents see me as a mere Normal type, the weakest of the types and therefore the weakest of the hybrids created." Val smirked as she brought her sword back in a defensive position, ready to counter any attack he made. If none came, she'd whip the blade out in a backhand cut. "But the truth is, I'm probably so much stronger than most of you. The Normal type is no weaker than any other type. If Pokemon of that typing can't teach the world that, I will." Her eyes narrowed and her blade began to glow faintly in a white color. She suddenly flicked the sword out in a Slash at him, aiming for a fatal hit at the throat.

As the sword approached my throat, An electric spark, bolted the direction of the sword, redirecting it somewhere away from me. In counteractive instance, the electricity bounced off the sword and travel towards Val.

"Nobody is stronger than me... You use a sword because you have no power. Tell ya what, I won't move an inch from this spot. And if you manage to cut me one more time, I'll let you kill me. But don't get your hopes up." I started, not caring if my counter bolt had harmed her or not.

The electricity started to become more violent, ensuring that it would prove difficult to injure me with physical attacks.

Val gave no reaction to the spark as it reached her, other than to to twitch her fingers. She didn't lose her grip on the sword however. "Arrogant. But I'll let you believe what you want, for now." Seeing the electricity's violent growth, she took a step back. "No matter." What I wouldn't give to be a Ground type. Or have a Ground type move in my arsenal. "I don't need to be close to attack." The glow of her blade switched to a somewhat dark shade of pink, and she slashed it diagonally through the air, sending a round of three energy blades flying towards Gray in a Psycho Cut. The same shade of pink suddenly outline her form before fading, Protean changing her type from Normal to Psychic.

Seeing the 3 slash waves come at me made most of the electricity that was encircling around me shoot outwards in a thunderbolt that would cancel out the slash waves. Luckily, Light is the fastest known element mankind will ever know. So instantly, after the slash waves are canceled, lighting continues straight for Val, Attempting to give her no time to react.

So she does have ranged attacks...

Val gritted her teeth as the lightning struck. "Hah...making me...regret choosing...the ste...steel reinforced...armor ov...over the rubber...insulated set," she laughed through the pain. How could she joke around at a time like this? Her body was practically covered with metal, as the leather armor was indeed reinforced with steel. The electricity arced around her, traveling through all the steel to enter her body. When it stopped, she took a short step forward, having somehow remained standing throughout the ordeal. "Alright then. If you're going to play with your lightning, I'll just have to resist it." Her sword took on a green glow and she slashed the Leaf Blade through the electricity around Gray's body. Protean instantly changed her typing to Grass, which took only half damage from Electric attacks. Hopefully, the typing would lessen the toll the lightning took on her body next time.

Though the incoming leaves would be easy to avoid with a few slick movements, I made sure to stay in place, Not moving an inch. Naturally, The electricity made its way toward the leaves, However, The leaves nullified my electricity as if it was ground. The lightning was easily overpowered by the leaves, and soon, my body would undergo a fury of sharp leaves, Cutting and slighting mostly clothing, but heavily damaging my face. Not only was there a cut on my face from Jason, Now there were tiny cuts all around my face. Blood seeped from the side of my cheek.
I felt the blood leak off my face on to the ground beside me.
"..."
No words were spoken. The blood reminded me of Jason, and it reminded me of the one thing I hated... Weakness.

I started to growl, as if I was an angry werewolf, and as I did, My electricity Intensified. The lights flickered for a bit and several sparks shot into a Lightbulb above me. The lights gave out a for a few seconds. Soon, a fury of thunderbolts rained down from each light bulb within the Area, as if it was a mini thunderstorm in the building.

"Tch, should have known you'd lie," Val commented. She'd drawn blood...and now he was attacking. "Can't even keep your word. Arrogant, arrogant indeed." She managed to deflect most Thunderbolts that approached her with more Leaf Blades, and those that did strike didn't do as much as the first arc of lightning, but added all up together probably did the overall same amount of damage. Snarling softly, she slashed another few Leaf Blades in Gray's direction. After taking a round of metal-transmitted lightning, then a few more Thunderbolts, her strikes were beginning to weaken.

"Who would believe an enemy on the battlefield?" I asked her, as I finally stepped out of place, further breaking my promise to allow myself to dodge the weakened leaf blade. Once I dodged her final slash of leaves, I swiftly made my way to her weakened body.
My hand reached out to grab her neck, and once her neck was in my grasp, I pinned her to the wall.

"Well... It's been nice playing with you. Perhaps if under different circumstances, I could have helped make you stronger." I told her, as my other hand begin to form a blade of electricity.
"See ya in hell..." I said as I impaled her with the sword formed of lightning.

Val's gaze met Gray's. "You...powerful....I acknowledge...yo...your strength. I...will return...accept you as...as my new...master..." With that, her lifeless body slid to the ground as she was dropped, blooding coming from her wound. At least the battle had taken place in a strategic location. For once Gray had left, three Rockets wearing the traditional uniform of a Grunt, emerged from the shadows. Two picked up the body, the third gathering her sword and discarded belt. All three vanished with their cargo through the door of the base.

Finally, The battle was over. I continued to walk up the stairs and as I reached the exit, Sunshine blinded me for a few seconds. "Was I really fighting her for that long?" I questioned myself as my eyes finally dilated. "... And what was she even talking about?? Me, her master? What use would I have for somebody that's dead... Why would she even say that?" Questions wrapped themselves around my head, However, my thought train was interrupted as I pulled out my C-gear, only to find it bombarded with several text messages that weren't making any sense.

I ignored everything on the phone and sighed, walking towards the house."Their leader, has returned..."

I walked through Goldenrod, Getting lost. I didn't want to admit it, but I had no Idea where the house was. I could just call someone on the phone gear, after all, I ordered we all have it in case a situation like this were to happen. However, i wanted to surprise everyone. It has been hours since I left to fight, and I'm sure they all thought I died. Heh, If they did... They'd be in for a surprise.

I grinned, excited to randomly pop out up. If only I could find my way there... After randomly walking around for a bit, I entered the part of Goldenrod that were houses instead of sky scraping buildings. Each house seemed to have a backyard closed by fences.

As I continued, Fewer houses were seen, and there was a particular house that had a lot of chatter coming from the fenced yard. I heard familiar and Unfamiliar voices.

"Yup, That's them. Time to show off... I wondered what they were doing while I went away." I whispered to myself, Jumping on top of the house roof nimbly.

From the top of the house roof, I could see a group of people. Arryn, Shadow and Rex were the faces I I recognized, The rest were unknown. "Time to introduce myself." I said, jumping from the roof to the center of the group where the Hybrids remained.

"I'm back, Kiddies." I stated with pride.
